Chapter 3

Only Emmett and Rosalie stepping in his path and holding him back kept him from rushing towards his mate, instead Edward was the one who came to his submissives aid. His only redemption was keeping those fool humans away from him as he called their father alerting him that they were on the way to the hospital. Someone had thought to alert the principal who had brought the school nurse but it was too late, I had already scooped my precious mate up and held him protectively to my chest as my family gathered behind me prepared to drive to the hospital. "Mr. Cullen do you know what happened to Mr. Black here?" asked the nurse. Edward smoothly cut in before I could respond, "he seems to have passed out we already called our father we are bringing him to the hospital right now he seems to have hit his head quite head on the way down so regardless to why he fainted he will need to go to the hospital, would you happen to know his full name for his admission to the hospital?"

"oh uh… his name is Harrison. Harrison James Sirius Black. He's emancipated and doesn't live with anyone that I know of" Jasper growls at that, his mate shouldn't be living alone, vulnerable to the many dangers out there. Such a small delicate little thing shouldn't ever be alone. Looking down at his beautiful mate he swears he will never have to fend for himself again as he speeds up at the scent of blood, 'I guess he really did hit his head.' Once they all got into Edwards stupid silver Volvo they sped off to the hospital and Jasper gently ran his fingers though his mate's soft hair fingering the few curls hidden in the thick tresses before searching for the offending wound. "He's bleeding but it's not from his head?" he mumbles, "Carlisle will find out where he's injured we are almost there keep calm Jasper everything will be ok" smiles Alice as they pull into the hospital. Jasper quickly runs as fast as he can while keeping human appearances, sighing in relief when he sees his father next to a gurney reluctantly placing Harrison on it, oh when he heard his mate's name he nearly purred in satisfaction. Quietly alerting Carlisle to the unknown source of blood they make their way to a private exam room and he helps his father remove the many layers worn by the frail boy on the bed. Edward quickly ran over and grab him calling Emmet to help when Carlisle lifted his shirt, snarling Jasper struggles questioning not only the actions of his brothers but the shock, anger, and disgust he felt coming from his father and brother. He freezes when Rosalie walks over and exclaimed "Oh my god who would DO that to a child?

"Do what to a child," grates out Jasper "Carlisle what has been done to my mate and why does it now fairly REEK of blood." Carlisle sighs heavily and gently laid Harry down and stood in front of Jasper. It seems your mate hasn't had the best of lives and I'm going to ask you to remain calm while I treat him to the best of my ability." Stiffening Jasper nods and Carlisle nods to Edward and they turn Harry over. Whimpering Jasper backs to the wall and clenches his fists and Carlisle and Edward start cleaning the whip marks on his back, before removing the rest of his clothes revealing more wounds. "I think me Jasper and Rosalie could go for a snack, Right babe?" says Emmet and with that he and Rosalie lead a frozen Jasper outside to go hunt. Carlisle broke the silence, "Well son you certainly where right about him being a wizard. Nothing else explains why I can feel some wounds but I see no signs of them. This poor boy, no wonder he moved here all on his own someone's hurt him really bad and for a long time too based on these scars." "Now that he has Jasper no one will ever hurt him again, they will be so happy together, I've seen it." Edward smiled at his wife's words still gently bandaging Harrisons ribs following his father's instructions trusting him to know better how to treat something he can't see.

Harry knows somethings wrong before he even opened his eyes, he felt much to comfortable. He could feel the bandages wrapped around his chest and cursed 'I'm in a bloody hospital'. A laugh startled him into opening his eyes and he sees one of the vampires from the school sitting next to him with a book in his hand. "Hello," Harry whispered, "any particular reason I'm in a hospital with you watching over me? I wasn't wrong about you eating people, was I?" Edward laughed at this bringing a small smile to Harry's face, "No you weren't wrong. Where we wrong about you being a wizard?" Ducking his head Harry murmurs a quick no before risking a quick look into the vampire's eyes. 'No strange feeling this time, that's weird' he thinks. Edward raises his eyebrows at this, "Strange feeling," he asked. Yelping Harry glares at him, "can you read my mind?" nearly spitting in fury as Edward gives a rueful smile. "Ah, yes I can't help it though so don't hold it against me."

Huffing Harry crosses his arms, "What happened anyway? Why am I here anyway?" At that moment Carlisle came in, "Well young man it seems you fainted but that's not exactly your only injury now it is?" Blushing Harry seems to shrink in on himself. "It would be beneficial for you to lower whatever glamor's you have on so I can see what I can do. I bound your ribs but I'm sure that's not the only thing your hiding." Sinking further down onto the bed they could hear Harry's breathing come faster, "Harrison," started Edward, "Harry, just… just Harry" Whispered Harry still not looking up. "Ok then Harry, its nothing to be ashamed of, we aren't judging you we only want to help you." "But why?" bright green eyes peer up at Edward glistening in tears. Such a genuine question asked in such a small voice almost broke their hearts. Sitting on the bed Carlisle slowly reached out and grasped his shoulder, "Harry don't worry about that right now just know that we mean it." Nodding he lowers his glamour's and both vampires in the room freeze. "I heal really fast; these bruises should be gone on 3 or 4 days" Harry's quiet voice brings their attention from the thick black handprints encircling his frail neck. "Harry," Edward gasps out…"who did this to you."
