Callie PoV
Saturday morning, I was sitting in bed staring out my window. Last night kept flashing into my head, was that even true. I shook my head, then looked at my TV. The movie Hercules was playing, I started watching it. How do things like this ever happen. If werewolves were true what about gods, fairies, vampires, and mermaids. My head started to hurt, but I shook my head to get rid of the thought. I looked at the TV, it was the end. That happy moment when Hercules is making out with Meg in front of all the gods and goddess'. I groaned and rolled out of my bed. It would be a boring Saturday.
I looked at the clock it was already 10 pm. I never even left my room, I laughed. Good thing it was a Disney movie marathon. I hobbled to the shower, I needed to relax. I turned on the shower and stripped out of my clothes. I felt the warm water wash over me, making me feel relaxed. I let my mind drift away, I thought of Paul as the giant silver wolf. He was beautiful like that, I wish I had taken a picture of him like that. I sighed and put shampoo in my hair, I know it needed and without having brushed my hair all day it was the best way to get rid of my godawful tangles. I washed the shampoo out and stepped out of the shower, I heard my phone go off back in my bedroom. I wrapped a towel around me and hobbled out of the room.
As I got to my room, I picked up my phone.
Pual -
Hey sorry, I had to be on patrol all day. I just got off, I hope your day wasn't too boring. :)
I smiled at his text, I know his duty now. His random quiet moments meant he was protecting me.
Me -
Hi! I just watching Disney movies all day. Wasn't too boring.
Paul -
Sounded like a blast! I mean not that I would know, I haven't seen a Disney movie since I was like 5.
Me -
Really? Guess that makes you old
Paul -
That's harsh babe, I'm wounded.
Me -
I'll kiss and make it better :*
Paul -
A real one works much better. :P
Me -
Yeah well… We'll see about that. I'm getting tired, Night
Paul -
Night! Sweet dreams
Me -
You too!
I laughed, Paul really wanted to kiss me. I felt my cheek heat up, I let out a mental squeal. Then I remembered I was in a towel, I dried myself off and quickly went to bed. I tossed and turned for about an hour, something felt off. Something was watching me, I sat up and looked out my window. I saw a figure, I felt myself stiffen up. I couldn't move, the figure jumped up to the tree and walked on the branch that was right outside my window. I was staring at blood red eyes, I felt a scream in my throat. But it didn't come, I felt my body moving on its own. It opened the window, the figure reached in and grabbed me. It dragged me out into the cold night.
Paul's PoV
Callie -
Yeah well… We'll see about that. I'm getting tired, Night.
Me -
Night! Sweet dreams.
Callie -
You too!
I relaxed. After a full day of patrol, it was good to know Callie was fine with me being a wolf. I smiled, then stepped to talk a shower. I couldn't help but have my mind drift to Callie. The small girl with a beautiful smile. I could still smell her on me, but I knew once I stepped into the shower her scent would be washed off. I frowned and stepped into the steaming hot water. I washed quickly, I was dead tired and tomorrow being my day off I was able to finally sleep. I showered quickly, I dried quicker. I pulled on a pair of boxers and fell into my bed. I didn't bother covering myself up, I knew the blankets would get in the way if there was an emergency. I felt my body slip into sleep. I gladly accepted it.
I jolted awake, something was wrong. I had only fallen asleep about an hour ago. Now there was a sickening feeling passing through me. I couldn't pin the sensation, I knew there was trouble so I quickly ran out of my house. I bolted into the woods and phased.
"What's going on?" I heard Jacob asked.
"Somethings wrong, I can feel it. But I can't figure out what's wrong." I said, running towards Callie's house. I caught the scent of a leech. "Guys…" I added, stopping dead in my tracks. I knew the pack was coming, I couldn't force myself to move.
"Paul! Follow that scent!" I heard Sam order, I moved. I followed the scent, it lead to Callie's house. I looked up at her window, it was open. 'NO!' I screamed in my head. I phased, and pulled up my boxers. Glad I still had those, I climbed the tree next to Callie's bedroom window. I crawled over to her room, the scent of the leech hit me hard. I looked into her room, it was empty. I felt fear consume me. I jumped out of the tree, I phased not caring if I ripped my boxers or not. I wanted blood, I wanted the leeches blood.
"We'll find her. Track the scent." Sam ordered, I followed the scent. I was furious and it made me go faster. I followed the scent to the treaty line, I only stopped for a minute. If that mind reading leech was there, I wanted him to hear my thoughts. I ran through the line, I needed to find Callie.
"Paul are you crazy!" I heard Jacob yell.
"I need to find her! I need to protect her!" I yelled back, I kept repeating that. I wanted the leech to know what I was doing. I felt the presence of the Cullen leeches. I stopped.
"What are you doing here mutt?" I gorilla looking one snapped.
"Let's hear what he has to say." The motherly one said quietly. "Edward."
"Leech. Callie was taken by a leech. Move! I need to get to her!" I yelled I hated having to stay here.
"Let him pass. He's after his mate. We'll help you in the battle." The mind reader said, I bowed my head in thanks then took off again.
"You got the Cullen's help wow!" I heard Seth say.
"Dr. Cullen probably thought about saving her too." Embry added.
"I don't fuckin care! I want that leech dead!" I snapped, pushing myself harder. I trail was getting closer, and the Cullens were falling behind. I stopped dead in my tracks, I saw Callie and the leech. I growled, and stalked into view of the leech. Callie laid motionless on the ground and the leeches feet.
"I wanted you to see what I'm going to do to her." It growled, I barked. "Don't worry your little friends can watch too. I want her to suffer. You made me suffer, you broke me Pauly."
"What!" I thought, I couldn't see the leeches face. I knew it was someone who was holding a grudge.
"I won't kill her… yet. I'll toy with her, make her cry in pain." The leech stepped on Callie's right hand. *SNAP!* Callie screamed in pain, I winced. "You shouldn't have left me hanging Paul. Now your little slut gets this kind of treatment. It's such a shame."
"If you don't intend to kill her, then hand her over… Beth." The mind reader said, I growled.
"No!" Beth said stepping on Callie's wrist next. Callie screamed in more pain, I whined. "You don't want her to be in pain, but you'll leave me! Broken and wanting to die!" Beth screamed, I lunged for her.
Callie's PoV
I felt my right arm burning with pain. I heard people screaming and a wolf growling. I groaned, and opened my eyes. I saw my right hand and wrist were swollen. I cried, the pain was blinding me. I opened my eyes when I felt cold hands on my arm. I saw Dr. Cullen softly touching my hand and wrist.
"It hurts." I whispered, his golden eyes met mine.
"I know, I'm sorry." I said softly. He picked me up carefully. "Paul, I'll take her to my place. Her hand and wrist needs to be set. Emmett, Edward, and Jasper are following Beth. Come Paul, she'll need you." Dr. Cullen added. I felt more tears flow, I thought I was out of the danger zone. I didn't know I was back in it.
It felt like forever, but we reached Dr. Cullens house. He took me upstairs into a small office room. It was filled with medical supplies.
"Alice get Paul clothes. I think we have some that Bella bought." Dr. Cullen asked nicely. I whined when I felt myself being placed onto a bed. "I'm going to give you some Morphine. It'll keep the pain away, and it'll also help you fall asleep."
"I want Paul." I cried.
"He's on his way, he has to get dressed." I heard Dr. Cullen say. I cried more, this night was so bad I wish it was just a dream.
"I'm here." I heard Paul say. I felt his hands wipe my tears. "Don't cry, it'll be ok." He soothed.
"It hurts." I sobbed, then a burning sensation ran down my arm. I let out a scream.
"What are you doing to her?!" Paul yelled.
"Injecting a small amount of venom to repair the damage. It's too much, she would need multiply amounts of surgeries just go move her fingers. Its for the best."
"It won't change her?"
"No, I put in a millimeter of my venom into her arm. The damage is already being repaired."
"Why does it hurt so bad?"
"It has to hurt more before the healing sweets." Paul murmured into my hair.
"Paul look at her arm." Dr. Cullen said in a gentle tone, I turned my head to the arm that was broken beyond repair. "Callie can you wiggle your wingers?" I wiggled my fingers. "Squeeze my finger with your hand as hard as you can." I did as he asked.
"Wow Doc. thats amazing." Paul said.
"Always here to help. Which means her cast can come off as well."
"Keep it on, don't need my mom to think Paul sawed it off." I laughed, sitting up. I looked at my arm, I remember it being huge my hand and wrist were both broken. I wiggled my fingers, then rolled my wrist. It was working like nothing had happened.
"Are you some kind of witch?" I asked Dr. Cullen.
"No no. I'm the cold one." He said in a relaxed voice.
"Isn't he suppose to try and hurt me?" I asked to Paul.
"No, he's one of the good ones." Paul laughed.
"Oh. Well I guess I should say thank you, and I'll see you on Thursday."
"Yup, we can get out of that cast." Dr. Cullen smiled.
"Come on, let's get you home." Paul said picking me up bridal style. I groaned in protest. "No crutched you are not walking."
Paul carried me home, he wasn't talking it made me feel uncomfortable. I looked up at him, he seemed to be deep in thought. The moonlight hit his face at the right angle he looked amazing.
"Are you ok?" I said breaking the silence, Paul looked down at me. His face still serious.
"I almost lost you." He whispered. I reached up and touched his warm cheek, he leaned into my hand. "I was afraid the Cullen leeches wouldn't let me pass, I was afraid I would have lost you." His voice was getting lower.
"You didn't though. I mean I was scared, some psycho vamp kidnapped me out of my fuckin bedroom window. That's like some horror movie shit."
"You're living in a horror movie. The 3 leeches that went after Beth couldn't track her. She's still out there."
"So what does that mean?" I asked looked up at him.
"You're under a 24 hour watch. Someone will always be outside your house at night. Making sure she doesn't get you again." He said in a low growl.
"Oh." I managed to say.
"Relax hun, it'll be ok. Once she steps foot in La Push the pack will be on her."
"That's relaxing… I think."
"It'll be alright, just get back inside and sleep." Paul said, I looked around and noticed we were in my backyard.
"How am I going to get up to my window? I happen to be in a cast!" I hissed.
"Easy." Paul put me down then climbed the tree, I opened my bedroom window.
"Hello! I'm down here!"
"I know babe. Gimmie your hands."
"I'm short!" I said reaching up high as I could, before I felt Paul's huge warm hands wrap around my wrist. He pulled me up like I weighed nothing. After I was pulled up to window level, Paul threw me up a bit grabbed onto my hips and helped me into my room.
"Come inside for a little." I heard myself say, I scooted away from the window to make room for him.
"You alright?" He asked trying to fit his large figure into the window.
"Yeah, just don't think I want to be left alone."
"Tonight was lot for you to take in, it's ok. I promise it won't happen again." I felt Paul wrap his arms around me. I looked up at him, he had closed the window when he got through.
"You can't promise that, unless you plan to guard me."
"I'll protect you during the day, at night it'll be one of the other pack members"
"Why not you?" I asked leaning into Paul's chest.
"Because I'll be the one sneaking into your room to keep you safe personally." Paul said hugging me tight, cause me to giggle.
"Okay. I'll take that,"
"Good." He said grabbing my chin lightly. Before I could blink Paul brushed his lips against mine lightly. It was light, but once it happened he pulled away. I felt my cheeks turn red, and my heart started to race. I looked at Paul, he was awaiting my next move. Before I knew it I wrapped my arms around Paul's neck and crushed my lips into his. Paul jumped a little, surprised from my actions. But his arms quickly snaked around my waist and pulled me closer. I guess I'm a pretty bad kisser, because Paul pulled away.
"You sooo need to work on your kissing skills babe." He teased.
"Shut up!" I hisses whacking him on the head. Paul laughed, then kissed my cheek.
"Lie down and go to sleep."
"My door's locked, you can keep my warm."
"I never planned to leave."
