Chapter 10…

Arriving in Forks, she felt her stomach churn. She knew she was near him. She knew they were once again in the same place. She also knew where she could find him. She tried to keep the feeling of dread at bay. As the Cullen's entered their mansion, they could smell his scent. It was very recent that he had been here. Rosalie growled at the thought of the mongrel near her family's property. Emmett worried about how Nessie was going to react. Bella held on to Edward and look at him apprehensively. Everyone had the same thought…how is she going to react? As she got out of the car and the wind hit her, she smelt it. It was him. Her heart accelerated. She began to shake and she stumbled a little as she got out of the car. Emmett took her hand and squeezed it gently to help calm her nerves. She smiled up at him and nodded, letting Emmett know she would be okay but still appreciated his presence. What she didn't know was if she was strong enough to deal with this? She knew they were here for one reason and one reason only but she was unsure if she would be able to stay away. To stay away from what her soul needed the most. To stay away from her heart. She wasn't sure if she could stop herself form seeking him out and she wasn't sure she wanted to stop herself. This thought scared her the most. So she shifted her attention to grandpa. She needed to know what was going on. She needed to know if grandpa Swan was okay. Did they arrive in time to stop Alice's visions from becoming a reality? She glanced over at her parents and saw the sick worried look that held her mother's face. The family hurried to unpack. Then they heard it. The blood curdling scream that shook all of them to the core. It was female.

"Sue," Alice gasped. Suddenly they were not fast enough. Carlisle looked at Emmett and Jasper and they nodded in agreement. All three took off towards the forest. While they were running, Carlisle informed both of his sons that they were about to break the treaty. They were rushing towards the screams and this lead to the bounty line. Without hesitation, all three vampires crossed into enemy territory in search of the source of the scream. They had no time to call the pack and explain why they had just broken the treaty to stay off Quileute land. They had to get to Sue.

As they ran, they heard the thunderous thud of wolf paws on the earth floor. A set of two, he noted. The sound was one mile to their left. Carlisle prayed they reached Sue before the wolves reached them for the wolves would not stop the vampires and ask what is the purpose for their presence on their land. No. The wolves would proceed to try to rip these vampires to shreds. This was their duty. This was mission. This is why they were created.

Luck was on Carlisle's side. They came into view and Sam's head whipped towards Carlisle, Jasper, and Emmett. Carlisle's eyes focusing on the body on the ground in front of Sam. Even without approaching Sue, Carlisle could smell the venom that was beginning to consume Sue's blood but he could also tell he still had a chance to take the venom out before any damage was done. The venom had not reached her heart yet. She was screaming from the burning acid in her system. Each vampire grimaced at the memory of their own transformation.

"Can you help her?" Sam hoped against hope that the answer would be yes. Carlisle nodded at Sam and Sam stepped away from Sue. Carlisle reached the broken woman and spoke to her before he did anything. He need to assure her that he was here to help not to harm. The terrified look in her eyes, beg Carlisle to end this soon.

"Sue, I will have to bite you again in the same point of entry. I need to get the venom out of you before it has a chance to spread. I am not going to lie to you. This will hurt." Carlisle explained to Sue what he was going to do before he did anything so that she was mentally prepared for what was to come. Sue nodded before another scream escaped her lips. What the rest of the pack did not know was that Carlisle had a slight doubt he was going to be able to stop. This was the reason he requested Jasper and Emmett to accompany him. Unlike his sons, Carlisle did not have a chance to feed before making the trip to Forks. He was on the verge of thirst and he was battling the monster within for control but he needed to save Sue. He prayed that centuries of control over his thirst would not fail him now.

With a shaky resolve, Carlisle bent down and sunk his teeth into the same spot Sue was bitten earlier. She let out yet another scream but was unable to fight off Carlisle. Her arms broken, her legs broken, her body broken. As soon as the blood hit Carlisle mouth, the monster within went into overdrive, fighting for control. The monster wanted all of Sue, not just the venom that invaded her body. Carlisle wanted to help Sue, not make her his meal. Carlisle had never slipped and was determined not to ruin his perfect record. Jasper and Emmett froze but knew they had to give him at least a chance to try before they had to pull Carlisle off. This was get the venom out of Sue, they reminded themselves. Jasper could feel the want and need that Carlisle was feeling but then again he could also feel the fight within Carlisle. They waited in anticipation. Tense, muscles coiled and ready. The sweet delicious taste of Sue's blood fueled the monster within. Sue's screams began to subside and the battle for control began.

"HE'S KILLING HER!" Leah screamed. " GET HIM OFF OF HER!"

Seth struggled against Embry's hold on him while watching Carlisle at work on his mother. With two hundred years of experience, Carlisle dug deep within himself and fell back away from Sue once he knew the venom was out. Instantly, Jasper and Emmett grabbed Carlisle. Carlisle fought against them for a few seconds before being able to gain full control back. With blood dripping down the side of his mouth, Carlisle stood up and let both sons know he was in control again. Carlisle wiped the blood from his mouth and went back to Sue. The pack growling a warning at him and Carlisle held his hands up, palms facing them, "I'm okay. I'm in control. I need to check her injuries."

Sam nodded permission while the pack continued to growl, warning Carlisle they were ready if his control should falter. Carlisle reached down and began assessing Sue.

"Her right femur is shattered. She will have a slight limp once it has healed. She has four broken rib bones on her left side but they did not puncture any major organs. Her humerus bones are also broken but it's a clean break so she will regain full use of her arms once healed. Once the adrenaline has subsided, she will be in a lot of pain. What is the story you are going with? I need to make sure her injuries will match the story."

"Car accident," Sam stated. He motioned for Paul to let go of Leah and go set up the scene. Leah yanked away from Paul and ran towards her mother.

"I'm afraid her arm injuries will not match that unless…"

"Unless what doc?" Sam asked not really wanting to know the answer.

"We will need to break the bones on her forearms."

"NO! No! You can't!" Leah screamed at Carlisle, "She's already been through too much!"

"Leah, this is the only way to not attract attention. Charlie will be asking questions. The doctors will be asking questions. With just her upper arms broken, we will not be able to give a good enough explanation."

"Lee," Sue weakly called for her daughter.

"I'm here mom," Leah said crying.

"Baby, we have to do this sweetie."

"No! Mom, No!" It was no use. Leah knew her mother was right. Seth knew she was right. Seth reached out and hugged Leah. Carlisle apologized to both siblings and asked for their forgiveness. He then turned to Sue and waited for her nod before he would proceed.

"Just do it already!" Leah shouted impatiently.

Sue readied herself and get a nod to the waiting doctor. With that, Carlisle reached down and put slight pressure on Sue's forearm. SNAP! Just like that, it was broken. One down. Sue screams pierced the forest air. Everyone's stomach turned in knots. Sam closed his eyes, not wanting to burn the memory of Sue's pain stricken face into his mind. Another loud snap was heard as Carlisle broke Sue's other arm. Another scream ripped from Sue's lips before she quieted down and passed out from the pain. It was over. It was now time to get Sue back into her car so that the scene was complete.

"Carlisle," Jasper caught Carlisle's attention. "The bite."

Confused, Carlisle looked down and saw the wound was still open. He took in a deep breath and began to bent towards Sue's neck once more. Sam quickly grabbed onto Carlisle's shoulders before her could reach her.

"I have to seal the wound," Carlisle explained. Sam understood and let go of his shoulders. From where the pack stood, it looked as if Carlisle gave a quick kiss to Sue's neck. Carlisle took the venom pooled in his mouth and slowly licked the wound closed. Carlisle then bent down and as delicately as possible, he picked up Sue, bridal style. And, even though she was passed out, scream escaped her lips as the pain set in. Sue was carried to the car that was wrapped around a light pole. Gently Carlisle set Sue on the ground next to the scene. Working quickly, Carlisle place some of Sue's blood all over the car in the appropriate places. Carlisle, Jasper, and Emmett needed to leave the scene. There would be no explanation for why they were there. Sam held out his hand and shook Carlisle's hand as he thanked him for his service. Sam promised to keep the doctor informed on Sue's progress. He also stated the treaty was still in effect as he understood why they had to break it in the first place. And just as fast as they appeared, the Cullen's retreated into the forest passing the russet wolf, heading back home to let everyone know what was going on.

Carlisle was the first to come into view greeted by Esme, then Jasper followed by Emmett. The family rushed to them for the explanation they have been waiting to hear. They were informed they were able to get to Sue on time. She had been bit by a rouge vampire. She has suffered many broken bones but she will be fine. She will be in the hospital for about a week and then she would be able to head home.

"And Charlie?" Bella asked.

"He hadn't arrived before we left. Sam called for help after we left the area," Carlisle informed Bella.

"And…" a small voiced asked from behind everyone. She seemed so small. So fragile. She stood there, toeing the dirt in front of her. It was only one word but they all knew what she was asking. They all knew what she wanted to so desperately know. Emmett stepped towards her and swallowed her in his embrace, kissing the top of her head.

"He's fine." With those two words, she relaxed. She knew he was fine. She knew he was okay. But was he really? She began to sob and Emmett tighten his grip on her. She sunk into his chest and let the tears flow. He was fine.

Charlie had been busy with another car wreck on the other side of town. Once he was satisfied that his presence was no longer needed, he headed back to the office to start the paperwork but before he was able to reach the station another call came in. This time there was an accident at the entrance of the reservation. A cold chill ran down Charlie's spine as panic began to settle into the pit of his stomach.

"Charlie, you need to get out there," the voice on his radio informed him, "hurry."

With that, Charlie threw on his lights and raced to the reservation. His car couldn't go fast enough. He wanted to get out and run but he knew the car was faster. He had a ugly feeling that he needed to get to the accident. He needed to find out what was going on. All these thought running through his head as he finally approached the deadly scene before him. A car bent around a pole. A dead buck on the other side of the road. And then he spied her. A woman. Lying on the grass beside the driver side door. Not moving. A familiar color of hair. A familiar face. And as realization hit him, he began to run towards the figure laying on the ground. His mind reeling. No. no. no. no. No. No. No! No! No! NO! NO! NO! NNNOOOOOO!

He reached his broke wife and kneeled beside her. "SUE! Baby! Honey! Please! Talk to me. I'm here baby. Sweetie please talk to me?" He cried as tears streamed down his face, disappearing into her sweaty scalp.

"Sue, baby please hang on," Charlie pleaded with the unconscious woman he was trying to comfort. Seth and Leah hugging each other, kneeling next to their mother as she laid on the ground. The pack stood guard, waiting for the help to arrive. Ever member shaking with anger, fighting not to phase in front of everyone who came to help. Every single member visibly shaken because of the scene playing out in front of them. Sam had to pry Charlie away from Sue so that the medical team could began working on her. Charlie fought against Sam's grip but Sam was too strong for Charlie to fight off. Then suddenly another piercing scream pierced the air.

"SUE! SUE! SSUUEEE!" Charlie screamed, reaching out for Sue, while Sam pulled him away from her, as if his heart was being ripped from his chest. All the wolves that had imprints clearly understood what Charlie was feeling. It was enough to send silent tears of prayers down the faces of the tough wolves that stood amongst the crowd. However there was one wolf that understood the pain that Charlie was feeling, better than any of brothers. The russet wolf stood at the edge of the forest, witnessing everything that was going on and as Charlie's scream pierce the air, the wolf threw back his head, his ears plastered against his massive head, and he howled into the air, matching the pain that Charlie was feeling at this very moment.

And at this very moment, the small figure in Emmett's arms, hitched a breath and froze when she heard the howl that she had not heard in years. She knew who it was and she knew the howl contained so much pain. Her heart began to fill with pain and she clutched at her chest while gasping for air. Emmett pulled her away from his chest and carried her bridal style into the house. He laid her on the couch as she began to have a panic attack. Her parents rushed to her side, trying to comfort her. She couldn't stop the pain. She couldn't hear the voices around her. She couldn't breathe. She was only able to feel his pain. She was only to able to hear his howl. She was only able to feel…broken, as the dark took over.

Much love...
