Lyn followed after someone she saw darting through the woods; but got caught by the mysterious man she saw, and is on the verge of losing her life. What will happen now?
Chapter 12
I opened my eyes, which I hadn't even realized were closed; the strange vampire who was about to plunge his fangs into my neck had stopped and was looking at something behind me. Before I could look, I was snatched backwards and the man was pulled away from me. It was at that moment I realized that Emmett and Jasper were holding the man tightly and the person who had snatched me from his grasp was Bella. Carlisle, Esme, Riley, Rose, Alice and Edward stood around us acting as a shield. I looked at my sister with tears running down my face and she lifted me into her arms effortlessly.
In a couple of minutes we were back inside the house. Once I was sitting on the couch, Bella began walking toward the hall. I grabbed her hand frantically and shook my head as the waterworks continued. She looked at me worriedly and sat down next to me. Bella wrapped her arms around me and I cried on her shoulder.
"You're okay now…" she spoke as she rubbed my back. "Carlisle and the others will take care of him, Lyn. I promise."
I heard the front door open and then close a couple minutes later. "That's how you should have reacted. That is a human's true reaction, Bella." A velvet voice spoke; Edward. I heard some footsteps and came to the conclusion that they were all back. Bella, I knew, had to be glaring at him; the tension was thick around me.
"I… I can't… breathe!" I wheezed. Bella let me go, instructing me to put my head between my legs, but Carlisle stopped her. "She's lost a lot of blood. I need to get her cuts cleaned and bandaged." He spoke.
I watched as Alice appeared with a black doctor's bag. Carlisle knelt in front of me as Esme entered the room with a couple of wet rags. Bella took one and began dabbing at my forehead as Carlisle took another one and wiped at my leg. Everyone left the room except for Bella, Alice, Jasper, and Carlisle. Looking over at Alice I took notice of how she was looking at Jasper.
As soon as Carlisle took out the needle and sutures, my breath hitched; I hated needles! Bella smiled at me and politely excused herself. I felt a wave of peace pass over me and knew that was why Jasper was staying; and Alice was staying to keep an eye on her husband, to make sure he didn't lose control.
My leg stung repeatedly as Carlisle pierced my skin with the needle until I was completely closed up. As soon as he was finished, he put gauze bandages over all the sutures and then went for my forehead. "It looks like you'll only need… ten at most." He told me. I nodded my head as he began to suture me up. A couple minutes later he was finished. Alice beamed a bright smile and took Jasper's hand. I nodded as Jasper inclined his head at me, and then turned to look at Carlisle.
The needle and sutures were now inside the bag that was being zipped shut. Bella and the others, except for Alice and Jasper, re-entered the living room. Rose handed me a warm rag, which I took and used to wipe my face where my tears had trailed down. When I was finished she took it and exited the room. I looked at my family as they took their seats around the room. Bella, I noticed, looked even paler than she normally did and I wondered why. Riley sat beside me and wrapped his arms around me.
"Are you feeling better?" Esme asked in a warm, gentle tone.
I nodded my head as I responded, "Yes. Thank you, Carlisle, for sewing me up again." The front door opened and slammed shut as Jacob and Nessie ran in.
"What happened?" Jacob demanded.
"Is Auntie Lyn okay?" my niece asked.
I turned to look at them. "I'm fine! I'm still alive!" Jacob's look turned icy. "What happened?" he repeated.
Carlisle cleared his throat, gaining our attention. "There was a nomad vampire who was following Lyn. He almost bit her; we're lucky that Alice had the vision."
"What happened to the nomad?" Nessie asked. I was wondering the same thing and interested in the answer. But when I saw their solemn expressions, my heart fluttered. Emmett was the one to answer, and my suspicions were confirmed.
"He got away."
