Chapter 4

Edward POV

The word 'die' rang repeatedly in my mind only after the short time Carlisle released it from his lips.

"Can't you guys heal yourselves or something" stated Emmet blatantly

"Yes we can but..." Sam stopped from his own lack of knowledge of the situation at hand and Carlisle picked up.

"Yes they can and the fever is how. They can't heal the fever because that's what treating his wounds. His body was kicked into overdrive. There usual abnormal body temperature is what makes it seem like they heal but it is really a fever which there bodies are used to that causes no harm. Are you following?" he looked at Emmet and I simultaneously. Then he continued

"As I said his body is in overdrive and getting hotter every moment due to his injuries."

Carlisle's words were laced with the facts that he knew from actively studying the wolves the best he could. The tension in the air was so thick that neither Emmet nor I needed to be jasper to feel it. Then Billy took his turn to speak.

"The only question I have is why he is like this. Numerous times a lot of the pack has been injured to a dangerous degree worse than this. Why is he unconscious and burning up?"

The question was directed at Carlisle who took seconds to find an answer.

"I don't have a clue" said Carlisle while walking towards his desk.

"Would knowing a leech caused his injuries help your guess?" Sam said with clenched teeth.

Carlisle's eyes darted towards Sam. He was called in and saw Jacob's wounds but was mainly worried about the fever. He never thought to ask how he got hurt. Carlisle picked up his office phone. He instructed a nurse to have bags of ice up to Jacob's room within minuetes. He slammed the phone down and focused his attention back to the people in the room.

"Well if that's the case then maybe he has been injected with venom. Even so we couldn't give him an antidote because his body would burn it off before it could take affect. I believe I can save him but our first priority is still the fever. Emmet would you please walk with me downstairs to grab a few bags of ice? We need as much as possible." Carlisle finished talking and walked back out the with Emmet not too far behind.

"I'm coming too" yelled Sam as he walked out the door to follow.

Billy Black and I were left in dead silence. The wheelchair bound man was worried but most of all upset because he couldn't help his son. The images of Jacobs hurt body were vivid in his mind. The memorizes of the night before playing as if a movie. The herbs he rubbed on his bruised sons' body, and the bandages he wrapped around his son torso. The broken arm and leg that had already begun to heal. Billy thought after all he did, that Jacob should have been fine but regreted not doing more.

I walked over to the man and looked him in the eye as he acknowledged my presence.

"He will be fine. Carlisle is an excellent doctor."

The man said nothing back but his mind was put to some ease. I walked out of the room and begun walking in the direction of the elevator to leave. I pushed the down button but that strong familiar scent filled my nose. This time it was salty but the scent was defiantly the same. Jacob! I backed away from the elevator as it opened. A nurse ran from around the corner with red hands blowing into them. She ran into the elevator and went down. I walked the way she came from, the scent becoming stronger. There was a room door around the next corner completely open and there he lay. On top of the sheets only in a pair of tight black boxer briefs. I moved closer step by step to get a better look. The room air was heated by his body. The salt that I smelled was from the heavy amount of sweat pouring out of his body. At that moment I could only think about his body. Think about touching his body, running my hands across his toned chest. Wait no I couldn't touch his body; I don't want to touch his body. My problems were his fault, but he looked so tempting so...

My thoughts were interrupted which seems like the pattern of my life. The same nurse that got onto the elevator along with, Carlisle, Emmet, and Sam following walked into the room carrying ice. They went straight into the bathroom and poured it into the bathtub.

"Edward can you please bring Jacob in here."

My mouth went dry. I didn't want to help the person who caused my pain but my body betrayed my thoughts. I picked him up bridle style letting his head rest against my chest. He was a lot hotter than he looked. His heat was powerful and

I could feel it as his body touched mine.

I walked a few steps only to have the unconscious boy cuddle deeper into my arms and grab the front of my shirt. He was happy to find something cold to cool his temperature but he couldn't have waited for the ice? I walked into the large bathroom; the nurse blushed a deep red when she saw us. Jacob was still unconscious but still doing so much. He had already buried his face in to crook of my neck when my shirt was the barrier to my cool body. One of his arms was wrapped around my neck but then again I wasn't complaining. I tried to place the boy into the ice but my first attempt failed because he wouldn't let go. He clung to me, the first source of cold that his overheated body could come into contact with. I stood there above the ice pool wondering what to do next. Both Sam and Emmet both got up to try to pry the boy off of me. His grip was tight. Emmet tried to undo his hand while Sam pulled but Jacob refused to let go.

"Well maybe you should just jump in there with him" said Emmet not trying to hold back his smile.

"That's a great idea. The more time we take the worse he gets."

If only he knew what he was doing. The situation he was putting me in by not controlling his actions. He had to be doing this on purpose even if he was unconscious. Even if that was a contradiction it made sense to me.

"Yes please just hurry and get him into the ice" said Sam in complete concern.

I felt my options running short. My options were to either

A. Get into the ice with a over half naked Jacob. 'Oh joy'

B. Don't get into the ice with a over half naked Jacob. 'Oh no'

or

C. Get into the ice with a over half naked Jacob. 'Yes'

I was ok with options A and C seeing how I didn't need a death on my hands. Plus at this point I didn't even know if I could let his body go. It felt so natural to have him in my arms.

"Well what are you waiting for" yelled emmet. "Hurry up"

I took off my shoes one by one. I walked to the edge of the bathtub with Sam at my side to help me balance as I lower myself in but one second before I could lift my leg up the STUPID mutt yawned, releasing me. Sam motioned me to quickly put him in the ice which I did. Jacobs body quivered as his body got use to the freezing temperature. I stood up straight walking directly out of the bathroom with clenched fist. I slammed the palm of my hand against the wall because I knew a fist would leave a hole but my palm still made an indention.

'That stupid little tease. I didn't want to be in a bathtub with his warm, unclothed, toned, desirable body anyway.'

I had to pause. What was happening to me? Why did I find myself constantly fighting off sensual thoughts of him?

"Ok so now what." asked Sam as they exited.

"We have gained some time. His body can now fight off the venom without overheating and even if he does cool off the ice should slow down the spreading process." Carlisle smiled at Sam when they both reached the spot that I was standing in.

"Edward are you ok?" asked Carlisle

"Yes I'm fine. It's just he was really hot" I replied almost scoffing at my own words

"Edward where is Mr. Black?" asked Carlisle after finally noticing the elderly man was not with me.

"I believe he is still in your office."

"Ok well shall we leave? It will take some time for him to cool off" Carlisle said directing his comment towards Sam.

"Dr. Cullen I have another patient I must attend to" said the nurse as she finally walked out of the bathroom.

"Ok well thank you for what you have done." the nurse left in a hurry. "Edward would you mind watching Jacob for a while?"

'No no no no no no no no no no NO!' I was going to listen to myself this time.

"Sure" I said. I failed to understand how my body and mind were on two completely different pages.

"Well we will be in my office if Jacob decides to wake up oh and thanks for bringing those documents even with Alice's reminder i forgot."

Sam and Carlisle walked out of the room discussion possible scenarios to take when Jacob recovered enough. I turned around to head back into the bathroom. I walked back through the door to find Emmet hovering inches away from Jacobs face. He looked like he was...KISSING HIM?

I sped over and grabbed Emmets shoulder and turned him towards me.

"What were you doing?" I asked frantic and surprised

"Nothing just looking at the pup. You can let me go now. Really Edward what's wrong with you, you've been acting kinda strange lately."

I let go of Emmet and stepped back. I really needed to get control and fast.

"Nothing I'm ok it's just Carlisle told me to watch him and well I didn't want someone to walk in and get the wrong idea."... 'Yea like I did'

"Well ok anyway I gotta get back to the house before Rosalie asked why I ditched her. I'll take the car since your babysitting."

What was up with my family? Was taking my car a contest. If they liked driving it they could always buy themselves one. Everyone had money that would last them for the rest of their undead lives. I gave Emmet my keys and he walked passed me but stopped and the doorway.

"So this is the dog you found. Rosalie really left out some really important details."

Emmet blurred outside not looking back. Every fiber of my being yelled for me to follow but a light staggered breathing made me turn around. He was waking up... I think. I rushed to kneel at the tub side. He was turning in the ice trying to get comfortable.

"sooooo hoooooot. Body is on fire"

He was talking in his sleep/unconsciousness. His hand grabbed the side of the bathtub while he was still flailing. He was in so much pain while hallucinating from the fever. I placed my hand on his hoping it would help his discomfort.

The instant my cold hands met his he relaxed. His breathing grew steady his body stopped flailing. His hand traced my bicep until it crept across my shoulder and face. I placed my hand on top of his as it rested on my cheek. His dark brown eyes opened and met mine. My body leaned over and he arched up. Our lips met in a chaste kiss and I retreated. Then they met again but in a deeper motion. My eyes closed so I could let the feeling of him engulf my senses. His warm touch made me think I would melt. The feverish kiss lasted until he pulled away for a breath. He panted, rose from the ice as pieces slid down his body. I rose as well keeping our eyes locked. One foot after another he stepped out of the ice, taking the hand that was not resting on my cheek pushing me backwards. Eventually I hit the wall. Something about him kept me enthralled. his lips found my ear in a swift motion.

"I want you." his lips gave that small sensual statement which made my body shiver in reaction.

He attempted to advance but I held him by the bicep at arms length.

'What was I doing? I needed to fight the urge. '

I let my eyes drop from his gaze but I found myself examining his body. Wet, sexy, tanned, tempting, and oh so tasty. My eyes fell lower to his soaked boxers. They hugged his nethermost regions to show every curve and...bulge? He was horny and that made me gasp. I had to look him back in the eyes and he smiled timidly. His face was redder than it already was after he knew I noticed. He was embarrassed but never looked away. He tried to advance again and I was powerless to stop him. When I could feel his breath again our lips locked and he snaked his hands under my shirt wrapping his arms around me pulling us closer. His arousal was now against mine? I was sporting a hard on that felt so good rubbing against his through my jeans. I wanted... needed more. I jerked forward pressing us harder together in a sudden motion which made him pant loud and squeeze me tighter. I tried to drive harder to receive the same reaction but this time received a very lusty moan and then... Nothing.

THE STUPID TEASED PASSED OUT IN MY ARMS! I was still sporting a hard on that would give diamond a run for its money. The bulge in his boxers was gone. I picked the STUPID TEASING MUTT up and placed him back in the ice.

I walked back outside into his hospital room. After a while I looked out the window to only notice the sun a few hours away from setting behind the clouds. I had spent the majority of my day at this hospital. I had spent the majority of my day being involved with someone I met once and dare I say fell in love with?

No that wasn't it. I knew I was no longer angry at him anymore. It took me a while but I came to my conclusion. He was the last thing I had that reminded me of Bella. Of the true person I loved. Yea that had to be it. I had no reason to love this mutt but then again why did i seem to be so mesmerized by his look and touch. Why was I so concerned about his health?

There I went again contradicting myself. I finally stopped thinking and walked to the bathroom door. A light snore could be heard. He was sleeping peacefully. His body wasn't red or the parts of him I could see anyway weren't. I restrained from walking any closer to check his temperature and instead walked to Carlisle's office. I think his fever is gone I announced to everyone in the room.

Jacob POV

I remember talking to Sam and then nothing. I could hear voices all around me and footsteps. I felt like a stranger in my body. I was so hot and I couldn't move.

My world was turned upside down. I was hot and dreaming. I was dreaming I was running through a forest while it was snowing. The snow was gentle but was firm and I wanted to wrap myself in it's embrace. I lied down making snow angels as the thin blanket of comforting snow fell. The heat of my body was fading nicely.

I stood up to hit two birds with one stone by writing my name in the snow and relieve myself when a blizzard hit. It covered me from neck to toe. The comforting blanket of snow left and was replaced by a harsh and blunt blizzard. I ran through the blizzard trying to escape it but the trees were interminable. Then I felt a presence. I was faint but I'm sure there was one. Someone was close by but I didn't know where. When the dancing glow-sticks descended from a rainbow I had to draw a line. I was really dreaming and I needed to find a way out of this dream. The presence I felt was gone but the glow sticks approached. Was I really about to be attacked my mini night lights. Yes... yes i was because they charged at me. I punched left and right. Kicking and jumping as I was being surrounded. Even the rainbow approached and wrapped me in it's seven colors. Ok since when did I get my butt handed to me by colorful objects that could be found on a kid's cereal box? I struggled with all my might. I was going to give up fighting in this foreign land when a light blanket of snow whipped away my attackers. The blizzard dream faded as a new dream entered my head. I found myself in a tub of ice which was weird but what really made me know I was dreaming was the fact that I was starring into the eyes of a vamp. Plus it wasn't just any vampy leech it was none other than Edward. I knew i could enjoy this. There were plenty of things that I couldn't do in the real world so why not get back at him by making out and sexying up a dream him. Yea it was definitely a dream because he leaned towards me. I didn't hesitate at all. I connected our lips for a chaste kiss. He felt so good, like my light blanket of snow. He pulled away but I wasn't going to let dream Edward get away that easy. I quickly kissed him again. We didn't separate until air was needed, which shouldn't even matter in a dream but hey who was I to try and understand dream laws. I stood up from my icy surroundings and pushed the leech back. I was in control. I had him to do what I pleased and he was going to regret messing with me.

"I want you"

Without disconnecting our eyes I could feel myself getting a hard on. Dream or not it's embarrassing to know you have one. One so apparent. Yea dream note number three, I was in nothing but boxers. This dream didn't even compare to the one where I showed up to gym class in only my boxers. The arms keeping me away collapsed and I closed the gap between our bodies. I snaked my arms under the shirt the held my cool blanket of snow inside of it. The only thing better than being embraced by the snow was how it felt against my lips. My need felt so thick and real and so did the hard on I felt rubbing against mine. Oh yes that's a victory. To get the calm and placid vamp turned on made me feel like a winner. Then another kiss. This time I had to get a point across. I didn't know I even had one but if I really did It was whipped away with a single buck. It felt so good my body couldn't contain itself. The feeling of that one motion was so strong. The second buck made me see white because the sensation was too much.

When I noticed I was back in the blizzard I wasn't as hot anymore. It wasn't long until I was taken from the blizzard and placed on nice warm... sheets. I wasn't dreaming anymore because I heard a familiar voice. It was Sam talking to a doctor. That could only mean I was in a hospital. When did I get into a hospital? Everything around me was hazy and my eyes were closed.

"The venom does not seem to be in his system" said who I thought to be a doctor.

"How can you tell?" asked Sam. I was so glad to hear his voice.

"He is not in pain at all. The venom no matter what as long as it is in your system there will be pain. His fever has broken and he's resting so I really believe there's another reason that he became this ill."

Venom, fever, ill... oh yea I was in a hospital which did mean I had to be sick especially when I couldn't open my eyes or move.

He looks fine now and should wake up tonight or tomorrow. I will have a nurse check on him but if you don't mind I would like to keep him here a few days"

'Say no Sam. I don't want to be here'

"Sure he needs to relax and Billy would scold him if he went against doctors orders. Thank you so much. We will be back tomorrow now that the worst part is over."

We? My dad was here? He wasn't in the room though. I heard two pair of footsteps leave but one pair of footsteps walked and sounded like they opened a window and walked out. The cool breeze felt nice on my cooling body. Everything went silent as footsteps moved to my bedside and placed a kiss on my forehead. My energy felt like it was returning slowly. I opened my eyes to stare out of the window. Who ever was in my room for a second was now gone with the wind out the window. The moon peaked through the open clouds every now and then. It's light aluminized my room. I rolled over with my back to the breeze. I closed my eyes again but the room to my door was opened. I peaked through my lids to see none other than Edward at the door. He still didn't notice I was awake and left as quick as he came. Why was he here?

'Leeches are weird' I thought as I went to sleep.
