Chapter 12 - Forgiveness

Edward's P.O.V

Her eyes never left my eyes. I ran quickly through the familiar forest. I held her tightly to my chest, her side was brutally attacked. I knew she wasn't fragile like she was before but a part of me just wanted to heal the pain.

"Carlisle Bella's been attacked!" I yelled towards his office.

Within a flash of second Carlisle was infront of me. "Let me see Edward lay her down," he said as his eyes scanned the side of Bella's body.

"Bella, how are you feeling sweetheart?" Carlisle asked.

Bella's eyes never left mine she starred at me with all the affection she used to have for me. "It doesn't hurt just feel kind of hollow...?" She responded.

"Edward we need the pieces they will re-assemble as long as we have the pieces to put her back together," he said still accessing the damages.

"I'll go get them." I turned to get up but I felt her hand grab my wrist.

"No Edward don't go," her beautiful features seemed troubled.

"I'll take Emmett and Jasper I promise to be safe love," I pecked her forehead. "Emmett, Jasper can you please come with me?" I asked.

"OF COURSE!" Emmett's pounding voice boomed through the house. "I want a piece of..."

Before Emmett could finish his thought I knew I had to cut him off, "Where's Jasper? We need him to calm the situation so we can get in and out quickly," I responded.

Before long Jasper, Emmett and I were running through the familiar forest, it was hard to concentrate while the love of my life was crumbled on the floor of my house.

We approached the Quileute border and that's when I heard the mongrel's thoughts. "The true Alpha leader Jacob Black come here we need to meet" I yelled into the open forest.

I could see Jacob's russet body approach cautiously with his pack trailing behind him. His thoughts were all jumbled, 'Where's Bella? Is she okay?'

"Bella is at our house and she is not okay, dog" I responded to Jacob's thoughts. "I need all her pieces and immediately," I directed towards the pack.

Jacob then morphed back into his human form and stood infront of me. The packs minds were all astonished by his bravery to stand before his enemy. I looked into his black beady eyes; "Jacob we need to act fast she is going to crumble apart! Please help me if you have ever loved Bella you will do this for me" I pleaded to the mongrel who had ripped my wife apart.

"Edward I know but..." he looked to the ground not answering my pleas."I will give back the pieces but you need to take her far, far away from us."

"Is that a threat Jacob?"

"Not a threat a warning, this is the last time I want Bella around me and I want you to tell her she is dead to me. And to never ever again come back to this border ever again."

"Don't you worry about that you mongrel. She hates you more than I do right now."

Jacob again morphed back into his russet wolf form and began running towards his house. I looked around at the pack that seemed united once again. I could hear the thoughts of Paul, who seemed like at any moment he would pounce on Emmett.

A snarl ripped through the pack and Emmett began to tense up behind me. I turned quickly towards Jasper who immediately calmed the atmosphere around us. Looking straight at the wolf form of Sam "Remember the treaty" was all I could say.

I looked around watching the pack circling around me and my brothers. I knew this was not good. Was Jacob truly going to do this leave us here for his pack to finish us off... It was hard to tell especially after he had brutally attacked the woman he claimed to love.
