Chapter 6

Too Much

Bella was out of the hummer before she even shut it off. She reached back in and turned the key, pulling it out. She shoved the key into her pocket and ran to the door. Her fist collided with the glass. She yelped as her fist went through it. Glass stabbed her wrist like a knife through butter. Bella shrieked in rage. She didn't even notice the presences that were around her. She backed away from the door and violently shook her hand, pieces of glass dropped out onto the porch. She picked at the opening with her fingers quickly making sure no glass was stuck. Under her breath she swore up and down, tears filling her eyes.

"Bella" said a voice pulling her out of her string of curses. She was immediately embarrassed as Carlisle grabbed onto her wrist and pulled it closer to him pulling out a few glass shards. "Your blood has changed so much. Even Jasper can be around you without being in any pain." said Carlisle with a chuckle. Bella sighed and wiped her face with her other hand.

"I'm sorry" she sniffled as Carlisle let go of her wrist. Bella let her bleeding arm drop to her side. Emmett put a hand on Bella's shoulder.

"It's alright. What happened?" he asked softly. Jasper put his hand on Bella's other shoulder.

"Why are you so freaked out?" questioned Jasper. Alice wrapped her arms around Bella's waist.

"Victoria." hissed Bella. She heard Jasper's teeth clamp shut in front of her and she jumped. "She attacked me. I ripped off her hand, I burned it. I was so scared. She said she was coming back for me."

Alice's arms tightened, Bella choked out a sob. She found Jasper hugging her from the from\nt and Emmett from the other side. Pretty soon Esme joined in. Bella found herself in the middle of a vampire group hug. Carlisle wormed his arms around Bella. Even Rosalie had attempted to comfort her once everyone had let go. Rosalie put her hand on Bella's shoulder and nodded to her.

The four new comers watched from a bit of a distance, all of them smiling in re-assurance. Bella couldn't help but sob, she was so happy.

"Bella, I won't let her hurt you"

It was the last damn voice she wanted to hear. A growl ripped through her throat. Edward stood a few feet in front of her. Bella clenched her fists. She just couldn't win. If she was alone Victoria would get her. If she was in LaPush Jared was there. If she was here Edward would be here. Before Jasper could even react, Bella exploded. In the middle of the group of vampires was a large Brown wolf curled up in a ball.

Emmett immediately bent down and patted her neck like he'd done the day before. Bella shuddered, butt Emmett continued the soothing massage. Jasper let his Jaw snap hard.

"So this is the bitch?" asked an unfamiliar voice. Bella's head snapped up. Beside Edward was a tall strawberry blonde girl, with a smirk on her face. Bella's gaze dropped to her hands that were around Edward's waist. Bella let out a painful howl.

"Bella, are you okay!" called a voice in her head. It was Sam. Bella only growled in response.

"I'm going to live Sam." Snapped Bella. "I just cant deal, with Victoria coming back and, an,d Jared and now Edward. I just..." Bella let out a loud whimper. Jasper wrapped his arms around Bella's neck, a comforting hug.

"Who is Jared?" asked Edward. Bella froze. He could hear her thoughts. Carlisle sighed.

"It doesn't matter now we have business to take care of." said Carlisle. "Victoria will be a problem." Bella growled angrily, she needed to get away, she needed to run. She pulled away from Jasper and Emmett, hoping Sam wouldn't phase.

"Bella! Why didn't you tell us about Victoria?" Snapped Sam

"Because, I didn't want you to get hurt!" Her hopes were dashed. She sung 'Mary had a little lamb' loudly in her head until she got to the reserve, which wasn't very long. She phased and ran into the woods. She rushed through the trees and stopped as she got to the first beach. She walked up to the water and sat in the sand. She sat there for an hour before she heard footsteps nearing her. "Fuck off." She hissed expecting it to be Sam or Jared. She wrapped her arms around her knees and sighed.

"Bella, why are you naked?" asked a voice that made her jump. Bella's head whipped around and she was caught completely off guard. There he was. Jacob Black. He's gotten bigger since the last time she saw him, his long hair framed his face perfectly. He was the one. In that moment everything in her world shifted. Bella slowly stood up. Jacob was frozen to the spot.

"Jacob..." Bella reached her hand out to him, but she didn't get close. She was knocked into the water by something gigantic. Bella fought to get to her feet. She caught a glance as she fell into the water. It was Paul. She launched herself at him tossing him out into the ocean. Jacob was on the shore, shaking wildly. Bella's mind came to realization, she moved closer to him, she placed a hand on his shoulder and he exploded.

Bella fell to the ground rolling in the sand in agonizing pain. Jacob's claws had run through her leg, turning it to ribbons. She screamed and cried, the pain was just too much. Jacob had stormed off adn was followed by Paul, she heard his slushy footsteps run by her.

"Bella." Said a soft voice. Bella recognized it instantly as Carlisle's. "Look, I'm going to have to take you home. Sam sent me. We have to fix this before it heals improperly." Bella nodded furiously she just wanted the pain to go away.

Bella drifted awake, something hot was in her hand. It was comfortable. She remembered slowly what happened. Her eyes snapped open and she sat up. She was about to freak out asking about Jacob when something squeezed her hand. Bella's head whipped round to see Jacob holding her hand. She flopped down onto the soft bed and sighed.

"Are you alright Bella?" asked Jacob his voice was weak, and broken.

"Yeah" croaked Bella, she turned to face him, smiling. "Are you okay?" Jacob shook his head and ducked his head. His long hair covered his face. Bella pulled herself closer to him, brushing his hair out of his face. She could smell the tears that steadily ran down his face. Jacob looked up at Bella again.

"I'm so sorry." He hissed. Bella smiled at him. "Don't tell me it's alright." Jacob stood up pulling away from Bella. He pulled the covers off of her and pointed harshly to her leg. Bella sat up and looked. Hey eyes nearly bugged out of her head. Her leg was firmly attached, she could even wiggle her toes, but her calf was scarred to hell and back. Bella shuddered and looked away from it. Jacob slammed his fists into a bedside table angrily. Not hard enough to break it though. Bella flinched and covered her face, tears flowed from her eyes. She uncovered her face and looked out the window.

Bella couldn't move, only let out a blood curdling scream at the two crimson eyes that stared back at her.
