The Irenta/Irene/Ira mentioned is not an actual character by Meyer, infact shes an OC of mine from the story 'TWINSIES'. In essence she's Bella's twin sister and Alice's mate. One doesn't particularly need to read the story, this was just in case anyone was wondering x)

Also! I do not claim to know anything about medicine, if at any point you sit there and go "no way in hell she'd do that", please forgive the writer because they're not a nursing or medical major, they're international studies. I did look up accident doctors and all but its difficult to get anything more than personal injury lawyers talking.


"Kai!" I could hear Sam's voice but I couldn't see him. He sounded both angry and terrified, what a combo. Maybe I was just imaging it. Now that I could totally see after everything that just happened.

"Sam, shes alright but she should see Carlisle." I could hear Irene talking to him now, maybe I wasn't imaging him. I turned my head to make eye contact with him, Paul and Jared were running behind him but they were all human. I wonder why I thought Jared had been a wolf.

"Give her to me, she'll see the reservation's doctor." He demanded as he got closer to us, his eyes on mine the entire time. I could feel Irene's grip tighten around me, she was getting protective apparently.

"Sam, you're shaking. She needs to see a doctor soon. Carlisle will be here soon anyways." She stated sounding nervous and worried. He growled and suddenly my view was blocked by Alice and the blonde. Rose.

"GIVE HER TO ME. NOW, IRENTA." He roared at her. His eyes were on me still, he was starting to look like he might actually phase. I broke the contact to watch Jared and Paul put their hands on his trembling shoulders. I wonder where Embry was.

"Why isn't Carlisle good enough?! She was just in a wreck to start with, god only knows what else happened to her!" She sounded almost like she was pleading with him.

"Because he's a leech. You've only been around maybe a year, you don't understand why we don't like your kind! Just give her to me, bloodsucker!" He wasn't as loud as before but he sounded just as angry. I could feel Irene's sudden intake of air when he called her a bloodsucker.

"Ira, baby. Give her to him. She's his mate, you're going to break our treaty otherwise." Alice looked back at us, she was still in the crouched position. I thought about trying to just walk this off but for some reason I just couldn't quite get my body to function with me. My mind kept scraping back to the door and the shattering of my windshield, each time it'd just lock my legs in place and steal the sound out of my throat. I was just getting more and more terrified.

"What if he phases and hurts her? Its not safe, Ali!" She pulled me even tighter to her chest, even going so far as to angle me away from Sam's view. I felt almost comforted by it. She felt warm and safe even though I just saw her on the side of a moving truck. Which honestly, should be reason enough to not feel comfortable around someone.

"Shes not yours to keep safe, Ira. She's his and you need to give her to him." Alice tried to reason with her and I almost wanted to say 'no, I want to stay with her' but I didn't. Nothing was going to my mouth, it just all stayed in my brain.

"On one condition! I get to see her when I want." She declared, looking back at Sam. I looked back at Sam as he seemingly weighed the options.

"Fine, but no one else is allowed to come with you. You'll be escorted to and from the border, Leech. Now, give her to me." He decided, taking a step forward. I felt her arms release a little as I moved to take a step towards him. I'd really only shifted my knee before Sam grabbed me up out of her arms. The car started to make noises and we all paused. I'd almost forgotten he was in there...Hes in there. Theres a gun in there. My heart beat kicked back up, Sam looked down at me, worried.

"Kai, whats wrong?" He asked sounding even more worried than he looked as I just pointed at the car. I was still unable to speak for some reason, I wasn't sure why. Words just weren't happening.

"Theres another human in there. He...seemed to have beat the crap out of her. When we got her out she was zip-tied to the door handle." Irene tried to place the words carefully but gave up half way. Either way she put it, Sam was going to be furious anyways.

"Paul, Jared, grab him. Hes facing the council then the government if he lives long enough." Sam commanded as he turned away from the car with me in his arms. I was being carried bridal style again. How nice. I looked over his shoulder to watch Rose and Alice pat the shoulders of Irene, she looked sad and torn. I waved at her and watched as she gave me a small smile, waving back until we started running and she was out of sight.


When we arrived back at home, Embry was sitting on the front porch with a female. She was taller than average but definitely one of the tribe, she'd been holding a black bag and was grinning at Embry.

"Doctor!" Sam called out sounding panicky and she turned to look at him, the smile disappearing off of her face. Her eyes zeroed in on me, inspecting everything as she went.

"Ah! Sam. Just sit her down over here." Her voice was calm and contained as she motioned to the porch next to her. I was sat down next to her with a soft thump.

"Hi, Kai, I'm Doctor Anna. You don't look too bad except for some cuts but I'm just going to check you over anyways, okay?" She had a nice smile as I stared blankly at her. I didn't want to talk and I couldn't seem to get my head to nod so I wound up just...staring at her.

"Shes not spoken at all since the wreck." Sam spoke hurriedly, sounding desperate. She shined a light in my eyes and I cringed at the sudden invasion of white light into my eye, pulling away from it.

"Kai, does anything hurt?" She asked another question, watching me stare at her some more. She tilted my head up, looking and releasing me after. She didn't say anything as she opened up a alcohol pad, dotting at my head then arms and legs. She put a blood pressure wrap over my arm, pumping it full and humming at the same time. Nodding to herself when she was done and pulling it off.

"She may just be in shock, Sam. Physically, there is nothing going on except some swelling on her head. It looks like she got hit with something but it could just be from the wreck. I'll give you some scripts for a muscle relaxer for some pain relief but outside of that she may just need some time and counselling. If she starts to complain of something, loses consciousness, seizes, get her to the ER." She stated plainly looking back at Sam with a sympathetic expression.

I continued to stare out at the garden even when Dr Anna had disappeared out of view. I could see Sam cross side to side as he paced. He looked worried and frustrated. I didn't really know what I could do to help right now. I didn't particularly want to go back inside alone but I couldn't call out and ask Sam to just not leave me alone ever.

"Well at least nothing's wrong with her physically, Sam. Good thing we got the doctor so quick to when the clinic's closed." Embry added, ever the optimist. Sam just growled.

"I'm going to see about the bastard that did this to her. She wouldn't have gotten in that car willingly." Sam spoke darkly as he stormed away and I frowned, he couldn't leave me. He wasn't allowed too. I tried to yell to tell him I needed him here, I couldn't go inside without him. I was too scared. I got one arm raised before he disappeared out of my sight.

"Well, come on Kai." Embry attempted to pick me up but I shook my head. I wasn't going in there. I looked at him and crossed my arms, I wasn't doing it.

"You need to sleep, Kai." He sighed and tried to pick me up again. I scooted away this time, putting my back against a porch beam and pulled my legs up to my chin. I wasn't going in there without him. Embry tried a few more times before he just gave up and sat down next to me. He was silent for a little while with his head in his hands before he looked over at me.

"So...not really sure what to say in this situation. You?" He asked and I stared at him for a second before I got my body to do what I wanted and shrugged. He gave me a small smile as he took in my appearance.

"You know Leah and Jake are up for phasing soon? Mhm. Its gonna suck." He questioned as I tilted my head trying to communicate a 'really?' or a 'oh?'. It seemed like he got it because he responded to my actions like I'd spoken.

"Jake's actually supposed to be alpha but Sam phased first, we all think hes going to remain in command even when Jake phases." He carried on the conversation and I kept listening. Embry and I hadn't really had a chance to talk normally like I had with the rest of the pack. It was nice how casually he spoke with me. It continued until the sun came up and Sam was finally back.

He had his shirt off and a new pair of shorts on when he was speed stomping up the driveway. He looked up and narrowed in on Embry and I sitting on the porch. He sped up looking between us with a frown.

"Call, you were supposed to take her inside." Sam bit out, glaring at Embry. I frowned and reached for Sam's hand to try and tell him that he tried but I didn't want to go inside. He'd opened his mouth again and paused to look down at me holding his hand loosely.

"She refused too." He explained heatedly and I nodded in response. It was completely true. Sam sighed and ran a hand through his short hair. He seemed to think about something for a second before he crouched down and looked me in the eyes.

"Will you go in now, for me?" He asked softly, taking both of my hands. I watched him for a second or two before slowly nodding. He gave me a small grateful smile as he stood again.

"Can I go?" Embry asked hesitating as he looked between us. Sam nodded giving a loud pat on the back as Embry walked past him. I moved to stand after Embry had left but found there was a pain in my ankle that was rather sharp. It made my right knee buckle before Sam caught me.

I frowned as I looked at him with tears prickling my eyes, it hadn't been hurting before but I didn't know how to tell him that with out words. I was stressed, I couldn't speak but there were so many things I wanted to tell him. I wanted to say I was sorry for yelling, that I loved him, that I didn't want him to leave me alone here, that I wanted this house to be safe for me again, that I wanted to feel safe again outside of his hold. It felt like it was all my fault, that I'd just done this to myself again. I wanted some normality. I just wanted to feel okay again.

"It'll be okay again some day, baby. I promise." He nodded as though he understood and bent down, gently picking me up.


BTW I have literally no idea why so many of you like this story ...

Its as popular as my best story out of the Buffy verse but has significantly less words.
