Chapter Four: The Accident

Concordia POV

What were we thinking? The consequences for our actions could be severe… for both of us. I would be banned from Volterra, I would have to explain to Jacob and his father why the child is not a werewolf but a vampire, and I would have to disappear. The only thing he will have to deal with… is being casted out by his peers. Wait, I'm getting to far ahead of myself… none of this needs to happen… we only did this once… it will never happen again. Then why is my heart telling me no?

I turned my head to look at the sleeping Native American boy, he was so peaceful when he was asleep. How could anyone not want this angel… oh, right… Bella. But Bella had Edward… and personally… Bella and Jacob never would have made it together… Jacob has nothing compared to Edward.

"Hello?" I snapped out of my reverie and bolted out of bed with the sheet wrapped around me. It was my brother Luke. "Concordia?" How did he know it was I? Jacob stirred, sat up, and stared at me with wide eyes.

I put my finger to my lips, signaling him to be as quiet as possible. Jacob mouthed 'Why?'

'My brother… Luke is down stairs.' I was right by the door.

"Cori, I know you're here! I can smell you!" he was coming up the stairs.

"What do we do?" Jacob whispered. If my brother finds him here… he's a dead wolf.

"Hide in the closet." I point to the walk in closet. "There's a secret door behind the dresser… go there until I say it's safe to come out… make sure to put the dresser back once your in."

He nodded and ran into the closet. I listened carefully to my brother approaching steps… why is he taking so long. Then I heard a knock.

"Cori, open the door, I know your there!" I opened the door and there stood my six foot tall brother with his long brown hair and gold eyes. Behind him stood my other brother, Matt. His ear length black hair matted and his gold eyes scanned the room. His eyes fell on the closet and he pushed by Luke and I.

"Matt, what are you doing?" I asked as innocently as possible.

"I smell a dog. No… a werewolf… where is he, Concordia?" He stared at me. "Concordia, you know I'll get it out of you one way or another, where is the boy?"

"Behind the dresser." Matt almost tore the door off the closet and my dresser went flying out of the closet followed by Jacob.

Carlisle POV

"Dear, Lord!" Esme exclaimed and ran over to Angela who was lying on the floor unconscious. Esme lifted the girl and brought her over to the couch. That's when the screaming had started. Not only from her but also from upstairs. The scream sounded like it came from Alice.

"What now?" I muttered. I took one look at Angela and knew instantly what was happening with her. What I wondered about was what had caused Alice to scream. I ran up stairs and almost screamed myself.

"Who did this, Alice?"

"Marcus." She whispered. "He bit her, I had the vision and thought nothing about it and then I walked out the room and there was blood everywhere." She shrank back into her room only to be stopped by Jasper who enveloped her in his arms and brought her in their room and shut the door.

"MARCUS! MY OFFICE NOW!"

Concordia POV

"Matthew no!" I screamed as my brother advanced on Jacob. "Please! Don't hurt him."

"Matt, he's not worth it, he's just a teenager." Luke yelled.

"Matt, stop acting like an idiot." I heard my brother John yell from somewhere in the house.

"What were you doing with my sister?" Matt demanded. "wait I don't' want to know!"

"I'm a grown woman Matthew, I can fend for myself." I stated very quickly. "Jacob, lets go, I have to get you home before the pack wonders where you are." He rose up from where he was, grabbed his shirt and we bolted out of the room and down the stairs before Matthew could change his mind.

An hour later

"What was with him?" Jacob asked.

"He thinks he is head of the family. In all actuality it's Luke. Matt is the youngest of all my brothers, so he thinks he is closest with me and that he must protect me at all costs… But I am closest to Luke. Matt gets carried away really easily."

"I can see that."

I looked at him and smiled. I don't remember much after that.

"WATCH OUT!" Jacob screamed…

Esme POV

"Esme!" Alice came flying done the stairs. "Carlisle!" she grabbed the remote out of Carlisle's hand and turned on CNN.

"… We are on the site of the accident. A Mercedes has collided with a semi truck off of interstate 90 up near the Washington and Canadian borders. A young woman, who was driving, was rushed to the nearest hospital. The young man with her was also rushed to the same hospital." They showed the scene of the accident. I recognized my husbands car in an instant… it was the only Mercedes S55 AMG in the United States with the windows tinted that dark.

"Carlisle… that was Concordia and the young man must have been…"

"Jacob." Carlisle finished. He rose up from the sofa and made his way to the stairs.

"Edward." He said. And with in a second Edward was at the top of the stairs.

"I need you and Bella to come with me… and get Jasper. Esme, watch over Angela, and stay close to the phone incase anyone calls." Carlisle walked out the front door taking Edward, Bella, Jasper and Alice with him.

Concordia POV

I awoke in a bright-lit room. This is not good. Where the hell am I and where is Jacob? I looked around the room and realized I was in a hospital. Great! What the hell happened? Was it something I was going to regret? And seriously, where was Jacob?

A doctor walked into the room and I immediately demanded to know where my Jacob was.

"Where is Jacob?" she gave a confused look. "I don't know who your talking about." She whispered. She checked my vitals and then a second time.

"This is a miracle! Your free to go." And she left the room. She was weird. I was escorted to the entrance and then I told the nurse who took me to just take me to the ICU. She asked me why and I explained that my fiancée was there.

When I arrived there Alice and Bella greeted me almost immediately. How long was out for?

"A day." Edward answered quickly.

"How's Jacob?" I asked.

"He needs to be changed in order to live." Carlisle answered.

"And he needs to be changed if…" Alice said quietly. "This happened a lot sooner then I expected."

"Dr. Cullen, do what you have to do to save him… even if it means…" came a low somber voice from behind us.
