That night Paul and I lay wrapped up together, I couldn't sleep, tomorrow we were going to go and surprise Edward, where had all the time gone? Alice had seen the forest and trees being cut for a while but had interpreted them wrong.
'I'm worried for you' I say into the darkness laying on him
'Don't we'll be fine, we'll that him by surprise, we can do this a lot of this is thanks to you' he said kissing my head pulling me closer to him
'Doesn't stop me from worrying about everyone, I'll be to blame if anything happens' I said snuggling up to him, not wanting the night to end.
'Please just sleep, you need to rest' Paul said I felt his muscles twitch and flex around me.
I woke up to my alarm. I lay looking at the ceiling for a few minuets going over in my head what was going to happen today. I had a shower, Paul was still asleep, I got dressed and made us a large meal, we were meeting at Sams, soon. I called Sue and spoke to her whilst cooking, no-one apart from the pack and the elders really knew what was going on, but we chatted like normal.
'Morning' Paul called out coming down the stairs towards the kitchen, he had his cut offs on nothing else, I turned around as his arms came around me.
'Morning' I said leaning back as he placed a kiss on my lips, my hands cupped around his face and pulled him closer to me, deepening the kiss. He lifted me up and took s over to the sofa, sitting me down on his lap. The smell of burning brought us back.
'Shoot!' I climbed out of his lap on the sofa and ran over to the pans, it wasn't too bad we would eat it, I dished it up and passed Pauls large plate over to him, he had my shirt slung over his shoulder, I sat in my bra eating, I was still so scared about loosing him but we had to end Edward to end the fear.
I washed the plates up, Paul told me to raise my arms up, I obeyed as Paul pulled my top over my arms, when I finished I looked around, a horrible feeling in my stomach. I pulled my coat and scarf on and took his hand tightly, as we walked over to Sams, we got to the edge of their land, Paul stopped I looked around
'Hey, umm if something does happen,' Paul started rubbing the back of his neck I felt my heart plummet with sadness
'I love you Lily' he said for the first time, giving me a rare goofy smile I jumped up into his arms
'I love you too' I said holding him tightly kissing each other smiling, we walked up to the house hand in hand, Paul didn't let go once. It was quite cheery in the kitchen, Kim was away with the others, while Jarad was alone it showed he missed her, Sam the same about Emily, but they all needed to be safe and with the elders along with Seth protecting them.
'Hey!' Embry called out walking over to Paul bumping fists
'Lily' he said ruffling my hair up I just huffed at him trying to smooth it over, I saw Bella across the room, Jake looking white as a sheet. We went over the plan with what was happening with the Cullens once more.
'So Lily goes in, Edward comes out, the Cullens come out to confront him, start the fight, we wait until they need us or Emmet gives us the signal, then we attack. Mean while we need to make sure Bella is high and safe able to see everything, Lily needs to move quick hopefully Alice will see a way to get Lily out quick, if not we go in straight away' Sam said nods from everyone my heart pounding hard, Pauls arm around me holding me close to him, he didn't like this one bit, he knew it was for the good of the pack Paul had faught against Sam hard about changing the plan and rules, Cullen told me Edward becomes infatuated with women and does anything for them Bella was one and I was another of a long line. Paul knew I was true to him and that what I said to Edward was going to make him fight harder.
We walked to the Cullens, they were ready, on edge but on our side which was the main thing.
'You'll be fine' Alice said walking up to me it made me feel a bit better we got to the edge of the woods.
'We will be along soon, we can hear you Bella is high up and has Quill and Jake with her, we are down wind but Edward will be focussed on you.' Mr. Cullen said he then passed me a bag.
'Remember you've left Paul to be with Edward.' Cullen motioned to my bag, which Paul had been carrying for me.
I shouldered it and turned to Paul.
'I love you,' I said holding onto him
'I love you too' he said lifting me slightly we shared one last kiss, I turned to the others breathing a few times controlling myself, I walked across the twisted rots and mossy trunks, of the thick dense forest, I tuned one more time my wolf nodding me on, the other starting to vanish, I gripped the straps and pushed on. The land had started to be bulldozed, I could hear the logs being cut in the distance, and falling the sound I had heard when Edward was on the phone, I kept looking around wondering where and when he would turn up. I saw a small hut, like a concrete house on the far edge I kept walking, I didn't look behind, just side to side, I hoped Edward would be here yet I wished he had never come into my life, Bella wouldn't use her shield unless it was absolutely necessary. The ground was quite uneven as though it was fresh, I looked at the block again, I took a deep breath and stopped. I looked and carried on slow. My stomach in knots, my throat dry.
'You came' I felt the cold shier down my spine as he spoke
'You're here' I smiled and turned to him
'My Queen has arrived' he did a large bow, I laughed and curtsied the pain pushing me on.
'My god, you're thin, we can change that, soon you'll be hunting having your own feast' he said giving a smile, the red on his teeth indicating he had just been hunting himself. Hopefully I wasn't on the menu.
'What's all this?' he asked looking behind me did he know that the others were here with me?
'My bag?' I questioned quick
'Yes' he said looking around it seeming to back away from the smell of Paul
'Well I though I would need some clothes, and tooth brush, you know things I'll need' I said looking down then back at him
'Baby, you're home. You don't need any of that though, I have your wardrobe ready, everything you could need' he took my hand my arm broke out in goose bumps when he touched me, he led me towards the building, I remained calm, the Cullens would be here soon. It took everything I had to not turn around and look once more to to turn and sprint away from this, I walk slowly Edward not letting go of me once. Where the hell was he taking me? This wasn't the plan, Edward was meant to meet me then the Cullens were going to-
'Edward?' I blurted out suddenly
'Yes my love' he said turning to me
'I-I don't feel well, I'm so thirsty I've been walking for miles' I said wobbling slightly
'My Queen, yes a drink I'll get one' he was gone in a flash I took a slow breath, he passed me a flask, I tipped it up, letting it run over my lips I was shocked to feel the warmth, thick blood run over my lips filling my moth, my stomach lurched, gagging, I closed my mouth pushing as much out of my mouth as possible I couldn't swallow any, I wiped my face with the back of my hand I looked down and gasped.
'Oh you were thirsty' Edward smiled he walked up close to me and ran his tongue along my skin, making sure none was waisted, his teeth scratched along my neck
'Join me' he whispered against my neck
'Soon' I said to him his eyes met mine
'Really?' he said with a seance of excitement
'Yes, you will look after me won't you?' I asked him with my eyes big
'Anything you desire!' he said kissing my hand. Shivers running up and down my spine, my stomach lurching over and over, I needed to clean my mouth out.
'Put her down!' I herd Cullen call out I turned around the Cullens were lined up, they had Bellas shield around them, I could tell as Edward tried to read them, yet he got nothing
'What's happening?' I asked him changing his attention to me
'They are going to take you away from me, and change you, so we can't be together' he lied I looked at him wide eyed
'Won't you protect me?' I asked him
Edward suddenly pulled my close to him
'If I can't have you, none will' he said kissing my neck suddenly licking more blood running it up near my mouth, I cringed and cried out trying to get away from him, though he didn't seem to notice
'Oh, Children, see our guests off!' Edward called a wicked look in his eyes as there was silence then the sound of rumbling, I realised what it was, feet, hundreds of feet all running, they barged out of the wood towards the Cullens, they started their attack, Edward laughed harder and harder, I just stood there watching, the new borns look wild, crazy. Horrid noises coming from them, pain, anger hysterical laughter, it was a tremendous sound. As the newborns were being easily defeated with just hits and punches, I was too far away from the woods to get to safety, I was in-between Edward and the newborn army.
'You'll always have the army protecting you' he said pointing out to them
'You did this?' I asked him shocked
'I did this for us' he said looking out towards it I just stood there almost devastated
The Cullens were pushing closer towards us.
Edward raised another signal with his hand as another wave of new borns ran out towards the Cullens, I tried to move away from Edward, his hand gripped the top of my arm, my eyes wide
'Don't panic my love, you're safe' he soothed me I watched the Cullens had too many to fight, Bellas shield still around them, stopping Edward from reading their thoughts.
'You'll never win!' Edward called out as another wave came, they all rushed past me I turned to Edward out of fright, he held me close to him, I was frantically looking towards the woods, where was my wolf?
'Watch as they eliminate my pathetic family' Edward said turning my head so I had to see the fight
'You're so powerful' I lied the noises the new borns made were horrific, almost like zombies, wild people, all dressed in white tops and shorts, when they were ripped apart their bodies turned to ash, it was a cloud covering the Cullens.
Then I heard the snap and snarl, my Man was here to save me.
'What?' Edward called out loud the wolves jumped over the Cullens into the middle ripping and shaking apart new borns every direction they turned, biting limbs off, knocking them hard, helping the Cullens.
'They are working together!' Edward cried out leaving me as he charged forwards in anger, I took this as my opportunist and ran sideways towards the wood edge, Edward was heading for the wolves, he was shouting and screaming out in anger ready for a fight, I shrugged my bag off so I could run easier, I didn't look back, a new born had spotted me and came running after me, I could hear it's foot steps, it pounced on me, I landed hard on the ground, I grunted as it winded me, its arms came around my body, I kicked out and screamed, I reached over my head, I grabbed its head and pulled as hard as I could as it's arms were getting tighter, I cried out and pulled, it turned to dust as it left my back, I sprang up and sprinted breathing heavy spitting mouthfuls of blood thickened with ash out as I ran along. I had to get up high to where Bella was. I was breathing so heavy I kept going, I was stumbling the sound of the fighting seemed to be all around me, I didn't look, I had to get to where Bella was to help stop it all.
I was rasping as I saw Bella standing watching over it all.
'Lily!' Quill called out seeing me I was panting he jogged over and helped me I thanked him Bella was looking scary, she looked thin as though this was taking everything she had, I looked back at Quill, he phased and kept guard, I looked down it was a frenzy, I took Bellas hand her hair was flying around her face, as we connected, I could tell she was strong her thoughts strong, I did as she told me
'Thrust out, as though you want your pain gone, you have to help the pack!' She sounded as though she was shouting, right beside me. I did as she told me, our hands tight, I focused down below me, the outside world seemed to phase out I focused down, I could see Bellas shield covering the pack, Edward making his way to his old family, I couldn't seem to let the pain out
'Relax, open up' Bella instructed me I opened my arms out and thought of the pain and pushed it out, it was as though it was a domino effect, Bella protecting those who matters, as I pushed down the others who were hurting the pack, I seemed to stun Edwards army making them easy targets I didn't think I just let it happen, I felt the pain ease off of my chest, then my heart, Edward cried out with such anger when he looked up and clocked where Bella and I were, more and more came running out, we kept going,
Quill saw Bella, strong, now stronger, her hair flowing from her strength, growing off of me, where as I was growing weak, my body couldn't remember what I was without pain, without being scared, talking others pain and feeling storing them, Bellas hand keeping me up, Quill couldn't get near to us, a few new born had come our way, Quill went off to take care of them, Bella was doing so well I saw Paul, I loved him, I could see that now, my heart exposed for the first time in many, many years. My chest and shoulder felt free, Edward was now trying to look for me, he was shouting and screaming, he was loosing it
'Pathetic' Bella laughed to herself I was ready to unload my mind
I closed my eyes I saw through Bellas eyes, I unloaded the pain, I watched as the new borns froze as it hit them hard, some turned to ash, they must be weaker than the others, Bellas, eyes were every where making me dizzy I just tried to focus, I starting to feel empty, tired, I had to keep going. I herd something behind me, I opened my eyes I glanced and turned my head, I saw a furious, covered in ash Edward, as he ripped me away from Bella, she couldn't stop protecting the others, the last wave were on their way, The Cullens and the Pack were doing well, Emmet, Mr. Cullen Jake and Sam ran ahead to lessen the blow for the others.
'Let me go' I cried out feeling like the old me Edwards face was hard and cold his grip was strong
'You bitch!' he shouted in my face as his hand came across and smacked my hard across my face, tears sprang to my eyes.
'You're going to pay for this betrayal!' he said in an icy tone, he tried grabbed onto Bella but her force field was too strong. He shouted and hit at the force field it looked as though Edward was loosing it completely he took me roughly by the arm as I was trying to get away fro him and dragged me from under one arm, my bad arm my shoulder jarring, I screamed out for help as I was getting further away from Bella I was kicking and screaming, though I was now too weak I collapsed to the ground after a while as he dragged me over the rough ground, were the fuck was Quill?
My eyes opened when I felt a hard wall behind my back. I looked round, there was a small window at the top, my hands were chained up to the other side of the wall, I was just in bra and pants, there was a toilet in the corner well a hole in the ground with a horrid smell coming from it, the floors and walls were cold, horrendously cold. My neck felt stiff I rotated it slowly, the large door loomed near me. I looked around I was all alone, I tried to stand up, my ankles were weak, I hobbled around slowly, pins and needles shooting through my legs and feet I sobbed it hurt so much, my shoulder was another issue. I was so thirsty, the shackles around my wrists were tight, rubbing my skin, slowly digging into my skin making it feel warm and sticky, it made my skin crawl, in the other corner there was a small bed, it looked like a dog bed, I walked over to it and sat down on it. I rested my head back and took some deep breaths, I couldn't let Edward win, after so many years of pain I was nearly free of it, I couldn't hear anything, was I in the concrete building? Somewhere else?
I had no way of telling the time, I just counted to 60 again and again, it seemed light outside the window, I just sat there trying to keep as much of my body off of the cold floor and walls as possible, I checked the chains, the shackles, I assessed my situation.
There was a loud bang, my head had nodded, I didn't know how long I had been asleep for. I blinked a few times the door on the floor had slid up, I crawled on my hands and knees and looked under, all I saw was a pair of heavy boots, I backed away slowly, my aching to be stretched and moved.
'Water!' a gruff voice called out as it was shoved though the hole in a groty dog bowl, I just looked at it, suddenly it was taken away from me.
'Food' the same voice called out and a bowl of cold dog food was pushed under my nose, I retched
soon enough that was taken away too. The small door slammed shut and then silence. My stomach grumbled, I wrapped my arms around myself, and prayed that Paul would come for me. I looked up at the window. That tiny, frosted glass was the only hope I had at the moment, if hunger and thirst didn't kill me this cold would.
The fight was still going on, the newborns were confused and easy targets without Edward there, the Cullens finished them off as the Wolves, did a running sweep to make sure none were left. By 8pm it was all over, When Jake went to see Bella the Pack knew something had happened but they couldn't leave the fight, she sat with her head in her hands crying Quill still standing guard, his head low
'Bells, well done, you did it you protected us' Jake said smiling running around the corner
'Bells?' Jake said again seeing his girl all sad, he crouched down beside her, he saw Quill.
'Edwards got Lily' she cried looking at Jake his face fell
'QUILL' Jake shouted Quill just whimpered, Jake kissed Bellas forehead and tried to calm her down.
'Where's my amazing girl? Lil?' Paul cried out happy with the result, his face fell when he saw the scene.
Bella sobbed in to Jake, he couldn't look at Paul he would flip. Quill tried to sneak off.
'Lil!?' Paul called out again, nothing his mind started to race, he was looking more frantically calling over and over,
'Quill' he turned on him he lept on him and grabbed him hard on his scruff making him cry out
'Paul' Jake said surprised
'Where is she? Where the fuck is Lily?' Paul shouted down to Quill Paul almost foaming at the mouth,
'Edwards got her' Jake said cautiously, Pauls hart stopped for a beat, the whole pack felt it, like a sudden drop in the ocean, even Seth clutched his chest. The girls and elders looked at him
'Lily' he whispered suddenly, Kim and Emily went over to him.
'No' Paul said distraught his stomach disappeared, his chest feeling as though it was going to burst.
'What were you doing? How long ago was this? What direction did they go?' Paul yelled as he threw Quill to one side with both hands, Quill flew through the air and hit a tree sending splinters flying, as Quill yelled as Paul started to charge towards him
'Fuckin' answer me? Why are you not lookin' for her? You are useless, you should never have been trusted!
'Stop!' Sam alpha ordered Paul stopped, his whole body twitching, only just holding onto the will to respect the Alpha order, Paul was just staring and snarling at Quill
'If he hurt her, you're dead, I don't care about an alpha order, you're dead. You are no brother to me' he snarled at Quill, the pack were now together, the only sound Bella sniffing.
'I'm sorry, I never meant this to happen' Quill blurted out
'You always fuck up, you are the massive mistake, you're dead to me' Paul spat out at Quill, his veins showing over his body, his heart slowly breaking,
there was a deathly silence lingering in the air, A tear rolled down Quills cheeks.
I had a pee standing over the deep, gaping hole, it was humiliating. The fight had taken it out of me, being away from Paul was making me weak also. I heard the door open sharp, I stopped and pulled my underwear on I had cuts all over from being dragged trough the forest, I didn't know how much blood I had lost. I move back to the dog bed, it was so cold in here. The large door swung open, I shielded my eyes as the bright light shone in, Edward stood in the door way.
'You little skank, you though you could pull the wool over my eyes' he laughed a cold scary laugh, I stayed quiet
'You're too valuable to kill and worthless to change, so I'll use you as my feeding bag' he said moving towards me, I tried to hide away from him the chains, keeping me where I was, I couldn't get away, a large body guard standing at the door, I caught his eyes, he was young, I didn't know where I knew him from. Edward pinned me down onto my back, I kicked and shouted for help and he loomed over me.
'Help!' I cried out as he placed his cold hand over my neck pressing down, I took some long shallow breaths, my eyes frantic, he showed me a long razor, it glinted in the light, I felt the cold blade, my heart racing, my chest rising and falling faster and faster, I felt the blade stop on the lowest part of my stomach, I tried to move away, I felt him push the blade in, it stung it was horrible, I cried out, hot tears blurred my vision, I was forced to look at the ceiling as his hand was like marble around my neck, I tried to calm down, I heard Edward, slurping my blood, my chest still rising and falling, I heard him moan, I bit my lip trying not to call out, it felt like an eternity, he stood up and walked out, I took a dee breath, thinking of when my Aunt had choked me. My hands flew down to my stomach, the blood still pouring out.
'AHHHH' I cried out as it stung I tried to stop the bleeding, I glanced at the guard his short hair, big build, the door was slammed hard in my face, I pulled my knickers off and tried t stop the bleeding with them, I made my way slowly over to the dog bed curled up shivering.
'Water' the gruff voice called out, I just opened my eyes, by the time I started to move it disappeared , I didn't bother about the food, I looked down at my stomach it was still fresh, then something came in before the door was slammed shut, I looked it was a big plaster, I reached out, my chains making a lot of noise, what seemed like an eternity later the plaster was on tight, I hoped it would help it clean. I thought about the guard, but Paul filled my shaking dreams. That night I sobbed hard.
Paul was out hunting, non stop, he followed my scent, they found my bag, he took my top along with him, to keep him grounded, the whole pack remember the feeling of when Pauls heart stopped, Jarad and Sam went home and held their imprints close that night, others saw their families, Sue cried into Seth when she heard the news. The whole pack felt the loss, yet Paul was still out hunting all day and night. The other tried to figure out with Mr Cullen where Edward could have taken Lily, Alice didn't have any visions, that bastard orphen Vampire had covered Lily's sweet scent, though Paul did keep finding spots of her blood around, which wasn't giving him much hope, Edward had led Lily away from the building to throw them off the trail, yet Lily was close by, the walls blocking her off from the rest of the world.
I heard the door slide open, quieter this time, I glanced up,
'Io, hey, water' the voice called out the clean water was shoved under, I didn't know if I was dreaming I just mumbled and moved my wrists, my stomach hurt, my hand went to touch it, I groaned out in pain. The large door opened, the large guard looked around and checked behind him, he put the closed the door leaving it a jar, my eyes grew wide as he got closer.
'Hey Lily, drink' he deep voice filled the room, he knelt down, and held the bowl towards me, I tried to drink some, it was clean this time. He scooped it out with his hand, he looked over his shoulder before I pulled his large hand closer to my mouth, the cold water hit my throat hard, it washed over my face, running down my arms, he got another scoop and drunk, he did another then another. I felt out of breath
'Why help?' I asked panting slightly wiping my mouth, though only tasting the metallic tang of blood, he just stood up and vanished he didn't close the door I couldn't escape, he returned a little while later with some bread, he passed it to me.
'Throw all evidence down the shoot' he told me, I just held his gaze and started eating the bread, it was stale, but I was starving, my stomach was craming with hunger. I have to keep my strength up if I was going to get out of here, if I could remember where I had seen the guards face from, it was dark outside of the window. I ate all the bread. I rested my head down and fell asleep again, when I woke next I felt stiff but a little better, I pulled the plaster off, it was healing just tender.
Thanks all for reading
