She helped Emily with the dishes as Kim finished off the bottle of wine, "What brought you around to Sam?"
Emily grinned, "I hated the fact of how hurt Leah was. Sam explained everything to me, but it still felt wrong. After a while I came to terms with the fact that Leah was going to be angry at me for a long time. I accepted what Sam was offering me, comfort most and foremost. He knew how upset I was about Leah and I finally let him be there for me. When I did it was like a weight was taken off my shoulders."
Emily dried her hands on a dish towel, "When Leah shifted, she forgave me since it wasn't something that I had done but she's been bitter towards Sam ever since."
She nodded as she turned off the water, "So letting him be there was the first step?"
The woman grinned, "No. Seeing how hurt he was after what he had done," she winked at her with her left eye, "It was like I felt his suffering. He hurt, I hurt. We were connected and I couldn't ignore it anymore."
She nodded as she nursed her cup of coffee.
Kim frowned at her, "Are you going through the same thing?"
She nodded, "Tanya is trying but I keep pulling away. I can't help but think what happened with Edward is going to happen again."
Kim shook her head, "Do you feel those warm tingles in her body when you look at her?"
She nodded with a smile.
"Did you feel that with him?" Kim asked with a grin.
She shook her head.
"That's a sign. I was seeing two different guys when I met Jarrod." She chuckled, "I couldn't get him off my mind and then one day it was like a light switch flipped. I couldn't live without him. I was miserable at school." She shook her head.
Emily rolled her eyes, "I think someone needs some coffee."
Bella spent another few hours with the two women before heading out to her truck. She mainly wanted to make sure she didn't have wine on her breath when she returned home just in case Charlie was home. Paul walked over to her from the tree line as Sam and Jarrod went into the house.
"I didn't mean to freak you out Bella." He said quietly.
She smiled at him, "I know. It's just a lot to take in on top of everything else." She leaned back against her truck.
He nodded, "I get it but I want you to know that you can talk to me about anything. Anytime." He grinned at her.
She turned to him, "Why did you lose your temper the other day?"
He frowned, "I was angry. You were at Jacob's demanding answers and it should have been me you were coming to see. I wouldn't call it jealousy but, in a way, I didn't want an imprint." He rubbed the back of his neck, "But when I looked at you and I felt it, I was angry that Jacob had made you upset." He sighed, "It's so…" he struggled for a word.
She smiled, "Complicated?"
He nodded, "Exactly."
She lowered the tailgate of the truck and slid up onto it, "I completely understand."
Paul sat beside her as she swung her legs, "I know you don't want this right now but-"
She shook her head, "I never said I didn't. My first thought was shock and then how I'm going to explain this to Tanya. In my current state she's overprotective."
He chuckled, "I can agree with that."
She groaned, "Not you too?"
He nodded, "You're stuck with it. I feel this need to protect you but at the same time I want to make sure your happy and safe and loved." He grimaced, "It's all so very confusing."
She laughed as she looked up at the stars, "Sometimes I have to live just being confused."
Hours passed as they sat on the tailgate of her truck talking. He shared his life with her freely, happily. She could see the relief on his face at being able to tell her things that no one else knew. He explained how the wolves mind connection worked and how it was the only way they communicated in their wolf forms.
Sam walked over to them, "Bella Charlie called."
She frowned, "What time is it?"
He smiled, "Just after ten. He said you could stay here tonight if you wanted. He's happy you have friends again."
She chuckled, "I should go. Alice can't see me when I'm with you guys."
He frowned, "Cullen. I thought they were gone?"
"They are coming back. For me." She shrugged. "They will abide by the treaty, but Laurent and the Denali's are a different story."
Sam crossed his arms over his chest, "Why?"
She frowned, "Laurent was there when Jacob was there today."
He frowned, "You didn't tell me that earlier."
"I thought you knew since he left when he heard a howl."
Sam's eyes widened slightly, "Bella get in the house and stay with Emily. Paul round everyone up. I want to know who was in the woods today."
Paul nodded before he ran into the woods. She hurried into the house and told Emily and Kim what was happening. They locked the doors and closed the blinds and curtains.
Kim shook her head, "I hate the waiting."
Emily nodded, "How do you survive it Bella?"
She chuckled, "I didn't have to last time. James had me the whole time."
She told them of her adventure with James and their eyes widened at the shimmering teeth marks on her arm, "I was already in the middle of turning when the others arrived."
The women glanced at one another, "You said earlier your eye was almost perfect."
Bella's eyes widened, "You think the venom that's left is reacting with it?"
Emily nodded, "I think it's as good an explanation as any."
Kim shrugged, "You should ask Doctor Dracula when he gets back. He should be able to figure it out."
They all sat quietly in thought for a while until the front door opened. Emily hugged Sam as Jarrod pulled Kim against his side.
"None of us were out in the woods near your house Bella. I was on my way to your place around that time." Sam said angrily.
Paul sat beside her, and she felt comforted by the heat rolling off his body, "Then who warned him you were going?"
Sam shook his head, "I don't know. We may need to wonder if it wasn't a wolf at all."
Bella gasped as she stood, "Edward."
Sam frowned, "That's a stretch."
She shook her head, "No it isn't. Alice was adamant that Edward knew he wasn't my mate long before they left. She had a vision after they left that Tanya was my mate and Edward hasn't been seen since. On the logical side he can read minds, except mine. If he was close enough to you or another wolf then-"
"He would know that I was on my way to you." Sam finished her sentence.
Paul pulled her back down to the sofa, "If that's the case then Bella's mind is the safest one."
Sam nodded, "Agreed, but I would never ask you to entrap him."
Bella nodded, "I couldn't even if I tried. He knows that Tanya won't leave my side, but as long as Paul is near me Alice can't see me or anyone else around him."
Sam nodded, "We have that on our side right now. Billy said Jacob hasn't been back all day and we can't hear him."
Paul wrapped his arm around her shoulders as she shivered, "Are you cold Bella?"
She shook her head, "No I just have a problem to face head on." At his frown she sighed, "I have to tell Tanya. I don't know how she's going to react to all of this."
Sam smiled, "We'll figure this out Bella. You aren't alone anymore. You have a big family now."
She nodded unsure if she believed him or not.
Sam nodded, "Let's not let on that we know they are working together. Things need to go on as usual but we'll be hanging around you a lot more."
She sighed, "Great."
Paul chuckled before he eyed her, "Why don't you stay at my place tonight. If anything happens the whole pack will be around."
She did feel awfully tired and her body was begging her to sleep. She nodded and followed him out to the truck. He parked in front of a small house that wasn't too far from Sam and Emily's. She followed him inside and smiled at the warm feel of the place.
He shrugged, "When my mom died I didn't have the heart to throw anything out."
She smiled, "I like it."
He grinned as he led her to his bedroom. It was a lot cleaner than even hers was and she chuckled. He frowned at her, "What?"
She shook her head, "Nothing."
She felt safe with him. It was different than being around Jacob. He was keen on making her comfortable even with her protests. She curled up on his bed completely exhausted as he stretched out beside her.
"How do you think your bloodsucker is going to take it?" He asked with a smile.
She rested her head on his shoulder, "You don't get to call them that anymore."
He chuckled, "It can be our code word."
She laughed, "They really aren't that different than you guys. They want to keep their family safe and will do anything and everything to do it."
He nodded, "Okay one point for them."
She grinned as she shook her head, "They don't hurt people."
"Two."
She frowned, "It's not a contest you know."
"I know." He sighed, "It's so weird not thinking of them as enemies though. When I first shifted it's all that the council drilled into our heads."
"You can't hurt Tanya." She leaned up on her elbow as he snorted. "Paul Lahote promise me, you will not harm Tanya."
He stared into her eyes for a moment before holding his right hand in the air, "I promise I will not hurt Tanya as long as she does not hurt you."
She knew that was the best she was going to get. She sighed as she settled against his shoulder again and listened to his breathing even out as he slept. She thought about Tanya. Explaining this was going to be difficult but it was needed. Paul was going to be a permanent fixture in her life now and if Tanya wanted this mate bond to work out, she would have to be okay with it.
.
.
She jerked awake the following morning, the nightmare wasn't over. It never would be. She careful shoved Paul's arm off her stomach and climbed out of bed. She was stiff and her chest was throbbing painfully. She moved to the kitchen where she found the coffee and began brewing a pot. She sipped her coffee as the sun rose above the trees and Paul's snoring echoed through the house. She heard her phone vibrate in her jacket and she frowned at the screen. She opened the text messages but didn't recognize the number.
Are you okay?
Where are you?
Please answer me.
She didn't know the number so she ignored it and wrote a note to Paul telling him she was heading home. She drove back to Charlie's and slipped upstairs quietly. She showered thoroughly and cleaned her chest as best she could before rebandaging it. She pulled her sweats on with a clean black muscle shirt before she crossed the hallway into her room. She was relieved to find it empty for once as she frowned at the empty space her desk used to set.
A piece of paper waited for her on her bed and she frowned as she picked it up:
Tanya is going crazy with worry. Get your wolf loving ass over here now! – Laurent
She balled the paper up and rolled her eyes. He would pay for that someday. She slipped a pair of boots on unlaced and hurried down the stairs quietly so she wouldn't wake Charlie. She drove her truck through the small quiet town and felt at peace as she neared the Cullen house.
She parked in the driveway as Laurent appeared on the porch, "Bout fucking time Swan." He growled at her.
She shook her head, "Wolf loving ass?"
He shrugged and blurred into the house.
She gritted her teeth angrily, "Get back here you little shit." She entered the house and headed for the living room, "Chicken shit."
Laurent's laughter echoed around her, "You really think you can catch me Swan."
She gritted her teeth angrily, "You just fucking wait."
Kate frowned at her from the sofa, "Rough night?" She glanced down.
Blood was coating the bandage again and she sighed, "Where's a doctor when you need one?"
Irina blurred in from the kitchen, "On his way."
She frowned, "Is it Friday already?" They all nodded and she groaned, "Just my luck. I really need to talk to Tanya."
Carmen shook her head, "Food first."
She frowned, "I really need to talk to Tanya." She spotted the shared glance between Kate and Irina out of her right eye, "What's going on?"
Carmen smiled hesitantly at her, "Well Tanya's a little upset right now."
"About?"
Laurent blurred to Irina, "You slept with a wolf last night." At her frown he pinched his nose, "You can't cover that smell with a shower."
She sighed heavily, "Fucking vampires. Where is she?"
Everyone looked up instantly. She shook her head and made her way up the stairs. She paused at the top and closed her eyes, letting her heart guide her. She found a room that she had never been in before at the end of the long hallway to the left of the stairs. Most of the Cullen's rooms were on the right side of the house and she hadn't thought to ask about the right half.
She held her hand up to knock but she did want Tanya running. She opened the door slowly and stepped inside before closing it behind her. A large bed was positioned on the wall across from the door and a glass floor length window was to her left with a balcony door in the far corner of the room.
Tanya stood with her back to her, staring out the window. She was tense and Bella frowned, knowing she was the one to make her that way. She opened her mouth then closed it, trying to think of something to say. Finally, she took a deep breath and spoke.
"I was over at Sam's last night."
Tanya didn't move.
"I have so much going on."
Tanya's head turned slightly, showing she was listening.
She nodded, "Okay. My ex-best friend Jacob is a wolf from the Rez and doesn't like the fact that I hand around with vampires." She kicked her boots off, trying to show she wasn't going anywhere this time. "Oh, and I have a psychotic red headed vampire that blames me for her mate's death, so she's been trying to kill me. My ex-boyfriend, if you could call Edward that. I just figured out last night that he is working with my ex-best friend to possibly kill me or at least kidnap me. Not really sure on that part yet."
"I was told last night the one of the wolves, Paul Lahote, has imprinted on me. He swears it's not romantic and I only feel friendship towards him." She crossed the room to the crackling fireplace, "I have a woman that I can't stand to be away from, and she claims to be my mate but I'm afraid."
She stared into the fire, "Not of her but of her leaving me like he did. Without a word and I know I cannot survive that. I think about her all the time but when I try to voice what I feel it gets stuck in my throat. I can't even think about her getting hurt without going into a full meltdown."
She shook her head, "And to top it all off I'm in so much pain I can't think straight most of the time. My body is healing, and I know that sleeping is good but I'm so tired of being tired. I'm afraid that I'm too weak for her and she's going to get hurt because of me. I know I've been distant, and I've been resisting this bond but I'm just afraid."
Tanya took Bella's hand and pulled her to the bed where she sat and pulled her between her legs. She rested her hands on Tanya's shoulders as the blonde brushed her face against her abdomen, "I'm sorry."
"You have nothing to apologize for. I went to your house last night to talk and when I couldn't find you-"
Bella cut her off, "Why didn't you just call Charlie and get my cell number?"
"I did. But you didn't answer my texts and then I caught your scent outside when I went to your house."
She could hear a soft purr coming from the woman and she smiled, "I went with Sam to the Rez and fell asleep at Paul's house. I didn't know the number and I never answer an unknown number."
Tanya reached into Bella's side pocket and pulled her phone out, also causing the human to hold her breath for a moment. She watched the vampire's hands move quickly over the buttons and then slip it back into her pocket, "Now you have all of our numbers in there."
Bella grinned, "I'm shocked, Laurent knows how to use a phone?"
A snarl erupted from downstairs as Tanya sighed, "One day Isabella Swan, you are going to be the death of me."
Bella grinned down at her before placing a soft kiss against the shocked vampire's lips, "Good thing your heart doesn't beat then." She turned and left the vampire frozen to her spot.
She grabbed her boots walked back downstairs and found Laurent glaring at her, "You just don't know when to play dead do you."
She grinned at him, "I'll leave that to you."
Kate laughed, "Wow you two are childish."
They turned their glare's on her and her smile disappeared. They turned back to each other and he scoffed at her, "Go suck an egg."
She raised an eyebrow, "Such strong language." She shook her head as she headed for the door, "I have homework to do and Cullen's to avoid."
Laurent rode with her back to her house as they bickered back and forth. She did her homework that afternoon as she tried to think about anything else other than the strawberry blonde vampire that kept invading her thoughts, Laurent was stretched across her bed with Irina watching a movie. She had to restart the math homework four times before she finally finished, with her vampire sitters chuckling at her annoyance. Her phone buzzed on the desk and she smiled as she opened the message.
Can I come by?
She hesitated for a moment. She didn't want to rush anything but at the same time she needed Tanya near her. She wanted her, needed her to breath. It was strange how life had changed the last two months, with Laurent showing up, but she was excited by the way it was going. She didn't have Jacob asking her out every two seconds and she was free to do what she wanted..
She smiled as she glanced over at Laurent and Irina. They looked so comfortable with each other, so perfectly in sync. When one shifted the other automatically shifted to adjust for the other. Two halves of a whole.
Could she really be that for Tanya?
After another ten minutes Irina glanced up at her, "Are you okay Bella?"
Bella jumped startled and nodded, "Yeah I'm fine."
Laurent blurred to her, "Something on your mind?"
She shrugged and Irina smiled, "I'm going to go get some snacks for movie night. I'll be back." She left the room through the door since Charlie knew she was up there.
Laurent returned to the bed and grinned, "What's up?"
She shook her head, "Tanya. I'm only human, how can I be what she needs?"
He chuckled, "All she needs is you. The rest will work itself out."
She stood, "Aren't you just the fucking voice of reason." She snapped.
"Someone has to be and since your brains aren't big enough," he shrugged. They shared a glare before the arguing started.
.
.
Irina pulled to stop in front of the Cullen house and she could see Carlisle in the window speaking with Eleazar. She blurred in and Kate nodded at her, "Irina. How's Bella?"
She smiled widely, "She needed some time with Laurent. I'm just here to grab some snacks."
Tanya was staring out the window with a frown and Irina knew that look, "Come back with me. She wants you."
"She didn't even respond." Her sister said quietly.
"She's over thinking things. As I was leaving, I heard her tell Laurent that she's only human so how can she be what you need."
Tanya's head snapped up to look at her, "She really thinks that?"
Irina nodded, "She's over thinking it. Just be with her, show her that all you need is her just as she is."
Tanya nodded and smiled at her, "Thank you sister."
"Now let's go get your mate some junk food. She needs to gain weight."
They could hear Alice as she bounded down the stairs, "Irina you and Tanya better get over there before Laurent kills her."
The two blondes glanced at each other and blurred from the house. As they arrived at the Swan residence they heard the yelling clearly from the woods, "You can shove it."
"Child, don't push me."
"Or what?"
There was a loud thump and they quickly slipped in through the bedroom window and found Laurent on the bed with Bella on the floor by the closet. They stared at one another with wide eyes and speechless. Tanya instantly went to Bella as blood ran down her face. She quickly. She found the staple on Bella's face that had shifted and she turned to glare at Laurent. .
"What is going on now?" Irina asked.
Laurent and Bella continued to stare at one another with no sign of talking. Whatever had happened was between them and them alone. Tanya pulled Bella up into her arms and carried her to the bathroom. She sat the girl on the edge of the tub and began to clean her face up silently.
After it was had stopped bleeding she turned back to her, "Are you going to tell me what happened?"
Bella stared at her for a moment before she shot off the tub and slammed into her chest, crushing her lips to the blondes. Tanya wrapped her arms around the girl and lifted her slightly to sit her on the sink. She felt Bella's legs wrap around her waist and pull her closer.
She could smell the girls arousal in the air and she moaned as she deepened the kiss herself. Her thousand year old instinct was quickly taking over as her mate tightened her hold. Only one thought crossed her mind, for a human her mate had very strong thighs.
She felt her control slipping as Bella's hands traveled up her shirt, her hands pressing firmly to her abdomen. The skin on skin contact caused a growl to slip from Tanya and she jerked the girl tighter against her. Bella moaned and Tanya melted against her.
After a moment she jerked back and slammed herself into the corner as she tried to calm down. The smell of Bella in the small room kept attacking her senses and Bella took a deep breath before sliding off the sink and leaving the room quickly, leaving Tanya's animal crying out for her.
She shook her head as she headed down the stairs and found Charlie in front of the tv, wrapping his gun belt around his waist. "Work call?"
He nodded, "Animal attacks against."
She frowned, "Where at?"
He flipped the tv off, "Up by the creek. I'll be at work all night but I'll check on with you tomorrow." He frowned at her, "You're still bleeding." He shook his head, "You two I swear. Night Bells."
She grinned at him, "Be safe dad."
She shut the door after he left and plopped down on the sofa. She had to be out of her mind. Attacking Tanya like that could have ended horribly. She rubbed the left side of her face with her hand. How was she going to survive having Tanya for a mate? She had practically jumped her without warning. She did note the difference of how Tanya wasn't afraid to touch her like she was porcelain. Tanya had even reacted in a way that she wasn't expecting, jerking herself tighter against her body.
She shook her head. She needed some fresh air. She stepped out onto the back porch and sat on the top step, taking slow deep breaths. She heard a twig snap just inside the trees and she frowned, searching for the source. She relaxed when she spotted Paul.
"What are you doing here Paul?"
He frowned as he stepped out into the moonlight, "How'd you know it was me?" He took a seat next to her.
She smiled, "My eyesight is amazing, well in my right eye anyway."
He chuckled, "So your eye gets damaged and it somehow makes it better? You are so weird."
She punched his shoulder, "Fuck you too."
He laughed as she shook her hand, "I thought you had patrol tonight."
He nodded, "I was just about to start. You left early this morning." He frowned, "Did I snore too much?"
She laughed, "No I-"
A growl shook the house and Tanya slammed into Paul, sending them crashing to the ground. Bella stood quickly, "Tanya stop!"
Irina and Laurent jerked her off Paul and she rushed to him, "Are you alright?"
He stood angrily his body shaking, "Back up Bella."
She shook her head, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." He snapped at her. She stepped back and he suddenly realized who he was talking to, "Bella I'm sorry. I didn't mean-"
She shook her head, "It's fine. You better go."
He frowned at her before he disappeared into the woods. She turned to Tanya, "What was that for?"
"Did you sleep with him?" She asked angrily as she jerked her arms free of Laurent and Irina.
She crossed her arms over her chest, "Is that what you think?"
Tanya frowned, suddenly confused. "I want the truth."
"If you have to ask then I have nothing more to say to you." She opened the back door, "To any of you." She slammed the back door and locked it.
She felt the anger and pain in her chest. For once she didn't care. She welcomed the pain, anything to focus on besides her heart that felt like it was being ripped apart. She knew this would happen and yet she still let herself fall into it. She was never the type of person to sleep around, hell she hadn't wanted to do it in the first place.
She shook her head as she sat down. She could tell herself that Lauren and Jessica didn't know what they were talking about but who was she kidding. She had made a mistake and then it was to late. She had to take that with her for the rest of her life. She knew she was being stupid, and Tanya didn't know so it wasn't fair for her to take it out on the one person that had been trying this whole time to get through to her.
She was tired of feeling things. She wanted feelings to disappear or at least not be so hard. She shook her head as she walked to the bathroom and took two of her pain pills. She frowned at the bottle. She needed to sleep, just for a while. She popped another two pain pills into her mouth and finished off two bottles of water before crawling into bed.
.
.
She jerked awake when someone shook her hard enough that it pulled at the skin at her staples. She opened her eyes and frowned up at Laurent, "What?"
He let out sigh, "You scared the shit out of me."
She frowned at him before rolling over, "I was sleeping."
"Like the dead. How many of those pills did you take?"
"I don't know. Go away." She pulled her pillow over her head.
"You have to get up. Tanya is about to cross the border."
She jerked up and rolled out of bed, landing on her feet dizzily. "Why didn't you say so."
"Because I was hoping you would get up without a lie." He glared at her.
She shook her head, "Where is she?"
"Cullen's."
She slid her unlaced boots on and grabbed her keys. He followed with a frown. He watched her warily as she backed out of the driveway.
"Should you be driving right now?"
She glared at him, "Afraid to die?"
He narrowed his eyes at her, "For you."
She shook her head as she drove to the Cullen house. She entered the house and he pointed to the living room. Tanya was speaking with Carmen as she entered the room.
Alice gasped as she saw her for the first time, "Bella?"
Esme dropped the vase she was holding, glass shattered across the floor. Rosalie and Emmett stared at her horrified. Carlisle frowned at her with worry written across his face.
Tanya glanced around at the Cullen's then frowned at her. She felt her chest tighten as she shook her head, "Tanya I need a word with you." She took the stairs two at a time before turning back to Alice, "I promise to explain later."
Tanya blurred to her and followed her up the stairs and down the hall to her room. Once inside she turned to Tanya, "Yes but it's not what you think. We slept in the same bed, but nothing happened."
Tanya nodded, "Sam saw what happened and came to see if you were alright last night."
She frowned, "Wait. That jackass got me out of bed after how much I took, just for you to tell me that." She shook her head in anger, the lightheaded feeling making itself known, "You son of a-" She began to turn.
Tanya caught her wrist, "How much of what you took?"
"Nothing. I need to go kill a vampire."
Tanya jerked her back around, "Tell me. Bella I am not going anywhere. I'm here whether you like it or not."
She pulled away from her, "I do like it. I already told you how I feel. I just don't know what to do about it."
"How about you don't storm off? Talk to me not others." She placed her hand on Bella's cheek, "Let me in Bella."
She stared up at her, "What about last night?" She backed away from her again, "I couldn't control myself with you."
Tanya smiled, "Is that what you're worried about? You don't have to control yourself with me."
She frowned, "After what happened?"
Tanya backed her against the door, pressing her body tightly against hers, "I didn't want to take you right there and have Laurent hear it. You would never be able to forgive me."
She shook her head, "I didn't care. I wanted you. Right there, everywhere. He was no where near my thoughts at that moment."
Tanya growled before dipping her head slightly to kiss her deeply. Bella wrapped her arms around Tanyas neck as she felt the woman jerk her up. She wrapped her legs around Tanya's waist as she carried her to the bed. Her chest was straining but she didn't care. She needed Tanya in that moment.
Tanya pulled back long enough to pull her shirt off before recapturing her lips. Bella felt panic rise in her chest and she pushed against Tanya. Understanding Tanya flipped them over and Bella sat up while straddling Tanya's waist.
She watched Tanya's dark eyes follow her every movement as she ran her fingertips down the cool marble flesh of Tanya's chest. Tanya leaned up on her elbows, "Let me in."
She nodded and leaned down to kiss her again, "I will but I need time."
Tanya smiled as she sat up, wrapping her arms around her waist, "We have forever." She smiled as she kissed her again.
Bella splashed her face with cold water an hour later. She touched her tingling lips. She and Tanya had been kissing for the last hour and she still couldn't get enough of it, of her. She dried her face as Tanya appeared behind her.
"I would like for you to let Carlisle look you over." Tanya leaned against the door frame.
She nodded, "Will you be there?"
Tanya smiled, "Of course, if you want me there."
She nodded, "I do."
Tanya took her hand and led her from the room and back down the stairs. She sat on the sofa as Tanya called out for Carlisle. Everyone blurred into the living room and she grinned over at Alice. The pixie stood next to Jasper with sadness on her face.
She grinned at her, "Alice I'm fine."
Carlisle examined her face, "Some of these staples need to be removed but it's best of most stay for now. Your skin hasn't quite sealed yet."
She nodded, "They aren't the only ones." Laurent growled angrily and she smirked at him, "Why don't you and Irina go hunt. I'll be here for a while."
He nodded and took Irina's hand before blurring from the house. Jasper frowned at her as Carlisle went to his office to get some supplies. He cocked his head at her as he felt her emotions. A hardness came to her eyes and he gasped. He blurred to her before anyone could move.
"How are you doing that?" he knelt right in front of her.
She gritted her teeth in concentration as she held his eyes.
Tanya growled slightly as he leaned towards her, his eyes darkening. They were completely oblivious to everyone and everything around them as they focused on each other.
Alice frowned, "I don't like this."
Tanya gripped his shoulder warningly, "Jasper."
His snarl broke the silence and the palm of his hand connected with Tanya's chest. She flew backwards with the force of it and Bella finally snapped out of it. She moved faster than a human should as she blurred up and slammed into Jasper, anger fueling her every thought. His shoulders crashed through the wooden floor and they fell to the basement below them. The wood and dust filled the air all around them as they fell the seven feet down to the basement floor. Instinct drove him as he kicked his foot out and she flew backwards towards the cinderblock wall. The concrete cracked behind her back when she hit, and she fell forward to the cold concrete floor.
