Pain Within My Heart

Chapter 14

I know you guys have been waiting fo a long time for this update and my last chapter was rather short and a major cliffhanger... I wanted to let all of you know, no I haven't abandoned this story... I have been super busy with everything going on, just got back from Europe and summer homework has kicked my ass. I cannot promise my chapters will be long or that my updates will be frequent but I will try.

Bella POV

Fooling Jasper and my mom was rather easy. I grabbed a newborn with no scent and burned him then tore off my hand to put some of my venom on the ashes to make it look like I had killed myself.

Pff, fools.

I shifted into my wolf form as soon as I was out of my compounds range.

My heart felt shattered as if nothing could heal me, not even Jasper's warm red eyes could bring back the girl he had loved.

My paws hit the ground and I felt the earth shift with each thud of my pad.

I was headed somewhere yet no where... I felt like I had no purpose, my mate had rejected me after I had given him everything.

All the sudden a sharp pain in my stomach made me phase mid run and curl into a ball, and right now the last thing I wanted to do was move.

I looked down at my naked body and a purple bruise started to blossom across my stomach, realization hit me like a ton of bricks.

My mom had always warned me of this and when it happened to expect the unexpected since I was the only one like this.

I knew this, I had to find shelter and somewhere safe...

I shifted again and was trotting through the desert until I reached the thick swamps of the bayou in Lousiana.

I sniffed the air when somthing odd hit my nose, it was the smell of Jasper but not, and this other vampire also had a female companion with him. Worry fluttered through my emothions like a wave.

I was so consumed with smelling the unfamiliar scents that when the clamp of aligator jaws on my right flank hit me, I was in full panic mode.

I thrashed and thrashed, trying to get my right leg free, still in my wolf form I was unable to shift to call upon my gifts. I finally got away, I dragged myself up the bank weak and tired. Doing my best to protect my little baby that was inside my womb, more and more blood kept pouring out of my right leg.

I shifted back to my vampire form hoping that my diamond skin would heal itself quickly, no such luck. It seemed the baby made my body quite vunerable in both forms.

The world was starting to get very fuzzy, I hadn't had any food or blood since I had left the compound which was probably another reason my body was subjected to this weakness.

Just before the world went black I saw a brown haired male vampire come up to me, his red eyes swarmed with confusion and worry. I recognized him, it was Peter, Jasper's second comand back when I was younger.

A hushed whisper cam out of lips before I passed out, "Don't tell Jasper you found me."

Peter POV

I was running an errand for my Char when I saw this pale woman laying on the bank of the bayou by our house, around her was a pool of blood that didn't look like it was going to stop.

I ran over to her very concerned knowing no humans ever ventured this far into the bayou, which is my Char and I were usually safe.

I listened for a heartbeat, but there wasn't one, well accept a very small flutter coming from the center of this woman's body.

I wiped her muddy and bloody hair from her face, her beauty struck me even broken and bleeding this woman was breathtaking.

Her eyes fluttered open and a small glimmer of recognition passed her eyes, she then whispered so quiet I had to strain to hear her, "Don't tell Jasper you found me."

She then promptly passsed out.

Outside you wouldn't know I was freaking out, but on the inside, I was a wreck.

I picked up her frail body, the errand was forrgoten and I carried her right to the house.

I walked through the door and screamed for my Char.

She zoomed right to my side, her red eyes wide with curiosity, worry, and slight sadness.

Seeing the wound on the woman's body Char went balistic, finding gauze, and these other medical supplies including a few bags of blood for a transfusion.

I layed her body on the guest bed in the guest bedroom and got her ready for immediate medical attention. For some reason every fiber in my being prayed that she would be alright. Even my 'knower' was saying she would be improtant in the future and if she didn't make it all would be lost.

Tada! Don't worry the status of Jasper will be in the next chapter. So now we know that Bella is alive and in good hands, and yes she is pregnant and no it won't be like in the books where its only like a 2 1/2 month pregnancy, all will be explained in later chapters. Hopefully this tides y'all over for right now. Thanks for sticking with me, reviews are welcome but not needed for me to post the next chapter. (p.s. non flame ones make me feel good lol) Until Next!
