Love Is Kind: Healing
Did I really just do that? Did I really just imprint on a leech? While holding the girl I love... loved?
"She'll be worried if you don't sleep," Edward whispered.
"She won't know unless you tell her," Jacob replied. Sleep had seized to exist when he'd imprinted. He was now just so aware of Edward's presence, so much more than before.
"You should sleep Jacob, get ready for tomorrow."
"I'm fine. Seriously." Edward stared at the other boy for a while than sighed.
"Just sleep Jacob, for my sake." Jacob suppressed a growl. His wolf whined. Shut up! he scowled it.
"Fine, I'll sleep. But this ain't for your sake, it's for Bella's."
"Yes... of course. Sleep now..."
Edward's POV
Such innocence... such beauty... such... Shut up Edward! You don't know what you're saying! I scold myself.
I'd been looking at Jacob since he'd fallen asleep. He'd seemed a bit troubled before he'd fallen asleep, but now... now he was so peaceful. I couldn't stop staring, he was just so – Shut up Edward!
I sighed, getting up and stretching – not that I needed it, it was just a way to distract myself from my strange and uncomfortable thoughts.
The fact that I couldn't hear Jacob's thoughts was luring me in, making me want to look at his face... his beautiful innocent face with the most deliciously luscious lips with the cutest little pout that you just wanted to ki- Stop!
I shook my head vigorously, trying to clear my head of those sorts of images. Please no... I thought to myself, conscious of my suddenly rather tight pants. This was not happening to me!
I accidently let out a low dangerous hiss. Jacob opened an eye sleepily and looked at me.
"Is Seth here yet?" he asked, voice laced with sleep. He was so adorable half asleep.
"No, not yet." What was wrong with me? Why was I having these thoughts... now? Now that I was sure Bella would be mine. Now that Jacob and I had spoken so well and understood each other a little better. Why ruin our understanding by finding the boy suddenly very attractive.
"Oh... wake me up when he gets here."
"Sure." Jacob grinned at me. His smile was so... "Why the grin?"
"You look pissed. What's got you down and out then?" I sighed. I was so sure I was hiding my frustration.
"Nothing," I replied in a convincing voice. He looked at me unconvinced but seemed to let it go.
"Sure, sure. Seth'll be here in five minutes."
"You know this how?" He shrugged.
"Let's just say I can feel it." I looked at him. Five minutes went by and as predicted Seth arrived. Jacob sighed then got out the sleeping bag. Bella shook a bit but then got comfortable again. "Gotta go now," he said. I couldn't help but feel disappointed. I shoved the feeling away. "Good luck Cullen. Look after her."
"I will." I wanted to kiss him so badly but I fought the urge to. He sighed then walked out the tent.
"Hey Seth, keep...safe." The words were muffled by the wind but I knew who he meant. I'd do my best to keep my love safe too...
oooooo
It had been a difficult fight. Victoria and one of her newborns had attacked us unexpectedly but Seth and I had been able to destroy them with minimum damage to either me, Seth or Bella (though Bella had a cut on her arm that she'd made to distract the two rogues).
I picked Bella up and Seth and I ran down to the clearing where the rest of my family and the pack were burning the remains of newborns.
"Are you two alright?" Carlisle asked. I nodded.
"Yes, we're fine," I replied. I looked around the place then spotted Jacob standing quiet away from his pack mates. He looked quiet gloomy.
Suddenly, a newborn jumped out from behind a rock and got his arms around Jacob and clutched hard, crushing the wolf's bones.
"No!" every voice shouted.
I felt my heart constrict as I heard Jacob's pain-filled scream as he dropped to the ground in absolute pain.
"Dad!" I looked around sharply.
"Max," I breathed.
"Daddy!" The tears were pouring down my son's face. "Dad!" It was strange, he was calling me, but he wasn't running towards me.
"Max!" Rosalie called. If Max heard it, he didn't acknowledge it.
He ran as fast as his short legs could carry him, which I believed was very fast, though not vampire fast. "Dad!" Max knelt before Jacob.
I don't what it was but something, some strong unknown force, forced me to rush to my son and Jacob. I took Jacob's over-heated hand and held it firmly.
"It's okay Jake," I whispered. "I've got you." Jacob whimpered as Max placed his hands on Jacob's chest and began reciting the spell he'd been practising.
Jacob, though still in a lot of pain, began to breathe normally, but only for a while...
Jacob's POV
I knew something was going to happen. I could feel it in every inch of my body. Something was going to happen!
It'd been a good fight. A few broken bones but nothing a bit of wolf magick couldn't fix up. We were all rejoicing our victory when a dumb ass leeched jumped out of nowhere and decided it was a good idea to attack me.
I felt it wrap its arms around me and constrict. I felt every bone in my body snap and break. It hurt so badly!
The bloodsucker was pulled off me and my body dropped to the ground limply, the pain surging through my body. It was healing though, but it was healing wrong. The bones were in the wrong placed.
I tried to breathe. It hurt so much just to draw in a breath. I knew a bone had probably punctured my lung; why else would it hurt so bad just to breathe in?
There was shouting, I could feel another emotion, one that didn't belong to me but did. It was distress and hurt. Then there was another emotion, still not belonging to me, but belonging to me all the same. It was filled with pain, heart break and fright.
I tried to breathe. I tried to breathe slowly and as shallowly as possible, just so I wouldn't have to move my body too much. It didn't work. My breaths came as deep pants, making me move, digging that rib deeper into my lung.
I thought I was going to pass out it hurt so bad. I even, for a while, thought I was going to die. Could I survive the damage that bone was doing to my lung?
I felt a small hand take mine. A child-like voice said something. I couldn't hear what the voice was saying but I could feel them, scared, so scared.
The hand fell away. I wanted it back, I... Another hand took mine, this one colder then the last. It was hard, but smooth, soft, but strong.
"It's okay Jake," a voice so sweet it calmed me down ever so slightly. "I've got you."
I felt the small hands on my chest then the child-like voice began saying words in a language I'd only heard my mother use long ago, when I was younger, before she'd died.
The pain began to disappear for a while. It felt good, relaxing. But then it started up again. My ones were breaking again; they were being reconstructed by an unknown force.
The small voice kept repeating the words over and over till finally the pain began to lessen. I took in a deep – still slightly painful – breath and slipped away into peaceful calm nothingness...

So there's another one... whoopas!
