Chapter 7

Forgiven

Sam's Point of View:

A deadly howl erupted the night's sky. I knew something was up and I had a feeling that the conclusion of this would not be at all pretty.

I quickly phased to find out what was going on and what the howling was about. I knew it was about a vampire as I got into the woods. The disgusting smell gave in to that.

Familiar vampire on our hands, but she got away. She's looking for harm on the Cullens' it seems like, but she could hurt any humans on our lands, thought Jacob.

Spilt up and find anything at all possible, any clues, findings. We need to know what exactly it is that she wants, I ordered.

She wants Bella, thought Jacob.

Maybe if Bella didn't hang out with those vampires she wouldn't be wanted as the victim. She should of made her choices more carefully.

Victoria is off our land, she headed towards Vancouver, thought Jared.

Still you guys find any clues. Jake talk to Bella to see if she has any other information on Victoria. If somehow we need Cullens' help, we will have to seek for it. I have a feeling she's messing with our tracking and she will be back to mess with us. I'm gonna go check on Leah and Emily.

I phased back after that. Having the knowledge that Leah could get hurt kills me, but she'll be alright. That's all that ran through my mind. I knew that I should think positively and the vamp is probably up for Bella. For Edward did kill James, Victoria's mate.

I went to check up on Emily, hoping that Leah was there, but she wasn't.

"Hey Emily, Leah's not here with you?"

"Hey to you too Sam. Of course the first things that pops out of your mouth is about Leah. No, she's not with me, she downstairs getting my final paper work done."

"Oh," I said.

I shivered as I looked at the scars that were now permanent on Emily's face, thanks to my doing.

"I'm sorry Em," I said.

"It's okay. Actually when you showed your face here, I wanted to scream at you. I wanted to just throw things into you face for making me look like this. This is going to make a big difference in my life. Plus of Leah, but as soon as I saw her happy with you again, I could come to terms with myself to do that," she said smiling gracefully taking my hand.

"Thanks, I owe a lot to you. I basically ruined your life " I said.

"I'll be fine. I can live with these scars. I know I'm going to get teased at, but I'll be fine. I know you're good person and you're going through a lot right now apparently. Just don't hurt Leah," she said patting my hand. I smiled at her and she let go.

"I won't hurt Leah," I said.

"Better not."

Leah entered the room and bright smile widen her face. I smiled like a moron back at her. After a minute of silence and intense staring, Emily cleared her throat and we all seemed to snap back to reality.

"Em, you're free to go," Leah said.

"Sweet," said Emily with a smile on her face. "I'm sick of being stuck here."

I watched as Leah helped Emily up. I should of been the one to help her, but Leah pushed me out of the way before I could. I owe so much to Emily. For her advice, for her support, for her forgiveness. She really cares about her cousin and I just can't believe I don't this to her. I don't know how I'm able to tell Leah about the scars I put on her loving cousin's face.

Somehow, someway, someday I would have to come clean and tell Leah about all this. I know, that I won't have the nerve to look into Leah's face for a long time, after telling her. Looking Emily's face, just brings this twinge of guilt to me. I'm going to feel remorse every time I look at Emily's face.

The monster I've become has already cause harm to Leah and her family. I need to control myself

I wonder how Leah will react to me in the future. I'm a werewolf, the scars on her cousin's face are my doing. Yeah, she'll probably scream a me, throw a fit, and let me go.

I know I'm going to lose Leah, when she knows the truth about me.

I walked out of the hospital to find Paul waiting for me there. He had a smirk on his face and he was staring at some girl. I rolled my eyes at him.

"What?" I asked hitting him on the back of his head. He rubbed it and made a face at me.

"Nothing, I just came by," he said.

"There must be a reason," I said.

"Hey Leah," he said.

"Hey," she said back with a weird expression on her face.

We just started at each other for a moment.

"Well, um, Jacob's father wants you guys to come by later, all of you. Sam, Leah, Emily," he said.

"Kay," I said.

"Kay, so I'm a go now," he said waving at Leah and Emily and walking off.

"Is there something wrong with him?" asked Leah.

"I have no idea," I said laughing.

I assisted Emily into the car and opened the door for Leah, where she smiled gracefully at me.

I drove them to the Blacks' house. Once they were both out, I walked with them to the door. I gracefully knocked on it and Jacob answered the door and he gave me a menacing glare.

I know he knows that it was me who hurt Emily. He probably, no fix that I know he hates me. He has some connection to Leah, which causes me to be a tad bit jealous.

"Hey Leah, Emily," he said.

"Hey," responded Emily before walking in.

"Hey Jake," said Leah before they engaged into a hug.

I watched and then turned around to sit with Jared.

"Hey man," he said.

"Hey," I said.

"I see you're in some tough waters," he said.

"You have no idea," I said.

After a while, Leah and Jacob finished their mini conversation. Billy called us over to have a little get together for Bella.

We packed up and the rest of them went up to the cliffs. I stayed back with Jared, Paul, and Embry. I had things to discuss with them.

After our little talk, the four of us walked up to the cliffs were I was approached by Bella with a little shove, "What have you done to him?" she asked, shouting at me.

Paul growled at her and I put my hand on his chest as he leaned a tad bit forward.

"Look, I have nothing to do with it. You go ahead and ask him yourself," I said.

"You damn right have something to do with it. He's darker now in some ways, and I feel as if its you. He's starting to hang out with you and I don't think he likes you that much."

I put out my hand in front of her face to stop her. "Look Bella, this celebration is basically about you. Enjoy it and talk to Jacob himself. I don't need your accusations."

She gave me a menacing look before she walked off towards one of chairs and sat down, where she was approached by Jacob.

She's still in love with that leech and yet Jacob can't find the nerve to let her go. Pathetic, but then she is the Blacks' family friend and always around Jacob.

I didn't feel like engaging in conversations with anyone because all they know how to do nowadays is accuse me of things I may or may have not done.

I found my way towards Leah, where she was cheerful chatting with Jared's imprint, Kim.

I wrapped my arms around her waist and put my head in the crook of her neck.

"Hey there," I said. Kim smiled as so did Emily. They both then decided to walk away as Leah turned around to face me.

"I was enjoying my conversation with them," she said.

"Too bad," I said kissing her delicately. She smiled in embarrassment as Embry decided to start hooting and hollering.

"Shut Up!" she shouted throwing a cup full of soda at him.

"Damn it," he said, taking a napkin trying to wipe it off his shirt.

"I have great aim, remember that Call," she said.

"I'll remember, but you just caught me off guard," he said.

"Sure," she said sarcastically.

"Go back to making out Sam," he said. Leah gave him an evil look and he quickly shut up.

"Leah," said a husky voice. I was already sick of him.

"Hey Jake," she said punching his arm playful as he approached her.

"Sam," he said putting his head down for a brief moment.

"Shouldn't you be the one engaging Bella in a conversation. She looks as if she's about to die over there with the expression on Paul's face."

"Well, I would like to talk to you sometime alone about something, but another time," he said looking up at me before walking over to Bella.

"It seems important," she says to me.

"Sure," I said.

"What's with it with you two?" she asked.

"It's just we don't get a long that's it."

"I would like it if you guys did."

"Leah, I wish I was able to give you whatever you want, but that's not gonna happen. We just don't like each other, just our difference."

"Darn," she said with a pout on her face.

"Leah, don't make those faces," I said.

"Fine," she grumbled and I chucked in amusement by her face.

"Sam!" shouted Jared.

"What?" I asked.

"Gather the pack, there's a howl," he said.

"Crap," I said along with Jacob and Embry.

"We have to go, I'll talk to you later, kay hun," I said, kissing Leah on her lips and running off into the woods with the other guys.

Jacob's Point of View:

I decided that I want to tell Leah about us werewolves, she deserves to know and either way her brother is pretty darn close into become one.

I also want to be able to accuse Sam of hurting Emily in front of Leah. I know it was Sam, I'm no idoit. I just don't want Leah hurt by Sam. I know somehow she will end up hurt by him double the hurt when she finds out the truth behind those scars on her cousin's face.

I find that Sam should own up to what he did and tell Leah the truth.

"Bella, just sit here for a moment. I want to tell Leah something," I said before walking off towards where Leah was.

"Leah," I said, I had not noticed that Sam was with her.

"Hey Jake," she said punching my arm playful as I approached her.

"Sam," I said putting my head down for a brief moment.

"Shouldn't you be the one engaging Bella in a conversation. She looks as if she's about to die over there with the expression on Paul's face," said Leah. I glanced over to look, I had to make this quick for I didn't want Bella's face like Emily's. Paul is the one with the temper.

"Well, I would like to talk to you sometime alone about something, but another time," I said looking up, before walking over to Bella.

I heard a small howl and then warnings from Jared, Bella's face grew horrid. Paul growled at Bella, before bouncing off into the woods with Sam and Embry. I knew that Bella is what Victoria is looking for and I know Victoria is playing her little mind games, where she shall lose.
