Chapter 9:
Edward was sitting in Carsile's office waiting for him to come in and yell at him for attacking Jacob. "Edward how could you?" Carsile asked with a sigh as he closed the door.
Edward dropped his gaze, "I'm sorry Carsile... I lost my temper. He wouldn't let me go and explain things to Bella."
"That still didn't give you a right to almost kill him son." Carsile said laying his hand on Edwards shoulder. "I've patched him up as best as I could but it will still be days before he is fully healed."
"And Bella?"
"I saw her and she is doing fine... she knows that it was you who hurt Jacob. I expect we are going to be seeing her tomorrow, once the pack has calmed her." Carsile gave a weak smile. "Try and control your temper better."
Edward nodded and walked out of the office, walking right into Rose. "Edward... umm... Sam just called for you." she said stumbling over her words.
"Is he here?" Edward asked. Rose nodded and pointed down the stairs as she rushed to her room. He sighed and headed down the stairs. "Hello Sam."
"I wanted to talk to you Edward. If that is alright with you?" he said. "Can we talk outside on your porch?"
Edward nodded and led the way to the porch. "Sam, before you start I want to say how sorry I am for attacking Jacob. I wasn't looking for a fight... I just need to see Bella and try and work stuff out."
"I understand Edward. Jacob isn't mad at you... actually no one is except Bella. She's the reason I'm here..."
"What happened after Carsile left?" Edward said with a small sigh.
"Bella went in and talked to Jacob and to make sure he really was going to be OK. You know how she gets.." he gave a small laugh, "Jake told her everything and she seemed OK just a little miffed... I mean we didn't hear yelling or anything until Jake did something really stupid. He was trying to explain that he was OK but Bella was starting to get pissed and she was really focusing so Jake decided to say 'Focus Love'... next thing the pack knew Jake was yelling for me and Seth to stop her. She was after you, by the time we made it she was almost to the treaty line." Sam stopped and looked at Edward's face, not sure if he should continue because he looked like he was in pain.
"Go on Sam." Edward said.
"Well, me n Seth jumped on her to hold her down, we were in wolf form. Seth phased out and tried to reason with her, telling her not to take Jake's prey away from him and such. He said it just trying to calm her down Edward, Jake's not going to come after you so your safe."
"Why are you telling me all of this Sam?" Edward ask slinking down to the ground.
"You need to hear this... it involves you and I thought you had a right to know.... if you want me to shut up and leave I will." Sam said getting ready to phase and run off. Edward sighed and Sam took that as him wanting to hear the rest. "So Seth was human trying to calm Bella and she tried to bite him, then he asked me to have the pack get either Jasper or Malachi to force her calm, which worked. She is now calmed down and at the moment she doesn't want to kill you... but I would stay clear of the reservation for a little while." Sam was about to say something else when he say Malachi running towards them. Sam growled in annoyance and stood infront of Edward. "What's wrong Malachi?"
"It's Bella.... she's raging again and I can't get her calm.... Seth told me to get Jasper ass fast as I could." Malachi said looking on the verge of panic.
"JASPER!" Edward yelled although Jasper was already next to him.
"I heard Edward. Tell Alice I'll be back later." Him and Malachi ran off.
"I need to see her... Sam. I don't know why this is so hard for me, to let her go." Edward said.
"Look Edward, I'm telling you this for your own good OK? So don't make me a snack if it pisses you off. The past 10 years since the accidental change, you have been very over protective of Bella. She wasn't allowed to have her own friends, the only reason you let her see Jake was because you knew that she would kill you if you didn't. Try living in a relationship like that for a decade, she just needs her space right now." Sam padded Edwards shoulder, "When Jake is fully healed and Bella has calmed down completely You can come see her or I will personally bring her up here to see you. But until then, stay clear of the reservation OK? I don't need to have another brother injured by you or by Bella."
"OK, Sam. I'll stay away from the reservation." He turned a little to his left, "Alice you can come out now..."
"Hello Sam. Edward where did Jasper go?" she asked.
"He went to go see Bella." Edward said. Turning to Sam he said, "Thank you for telling me Sam." and then he went back into the house.
"Bye Alice, I've got to get back. Jasper will be back later."
Sam turned to leave but stopped when Alice said, "Wait Sam. Can I run with you? I mean I have to go to the reservation and give Bella some of her things... like clothes and such." Sam nodded. "OK be right back." she flitted into the house and was back in the blink of an eye with a suitecase and a backpack. "Ready." Sam laughed as he phased and ran through the woods back, with Alice right behind him.
