I hope people are enjoying this as much as I am enjoying writing it. I don't own Twilight or the Character, ect. Thank you Noini, your awesome :)
Bella POV
"What happened? Where am I?" Both questions ran through my mind, I couldn't move, I couldn't even open my eyes to look around, I wanted to move but I felt trapped within my body. I was lying on my left side only being able to feel the soft blanket that surrounded my body, except for my right side. I could feel cool air flowing over my hip, side and arm. I tried to remember how I got here; I remembered going to Jake's and getting into an argument with him, after that, things had gone very fast. "Fur I remember fur, and him…" I kept trying to move and finally I managed to contract my stomach muscles only to be rewarded with agonizing pain ripping through my body and a small moan escaped from my dry lips. The pain was excruciating and yet I still couldn't scream out, my side felt like it was on fire. Suddenly I felt another source of warmth wrap around me bringing additional comfort as I slipped back into the darkness.
Paul POV
I felt like I was sitting on the front steps with Sam and Jared for what seemed like hours. Kim arrived shortly after we were sent out of the room to help Emily and Sue tend to Bella. Sam had gotten his cell out and called Billy letting him know what happened, then he called Embry asking him to track Jake down to try and calm him. I was just trying to focus on my breathing with my head in my hands. I was using every ounce of will power I possessed to not phase and rip Jakes throat out. No one had seen him since the accident; I didn't care to see him either. He could have killed my Bella… my Bella. That was something I never thought would happen to me, something I once despised; but now all I could think about was making sure she was alright. I couldn't even think about what would happen if she rejects me without getting nervous. I Paul Lahote was nervous about a small little girl rejecting me, she didn't know it yet but she held everything, my world in her perfectly formed hands.
"Paul, everything is going to be alright. As much and I hate to say this. Sue has experience with this kind of thing" Sam said looking down "And Em knows what Bella is going through physically."
I could tell the pain he was in I may have not been the one to hurt Bella, but I was close enough, and I couldn't protect her from this, I should have been able to protect her. I heard Jared pipe up "Em wasn't your fault Sam" he just growled at him as I stared burning a hole in the ground between my bare feet, roughly pushing my hands through my short hair.
It seemed like an eternity before I heard the door inside the house open and I shot up turning to see if they were coming out. Finally I heard Sue's footsteps walking through the house and she opened the front door stepping out. "She is going to be alright, the gashes aren't that deep. But they will scar." She looked to each of us before continuing "Now can someone tell me what happened out there?" I couldn't speak and just started up the stairs heading for Bella as I heard Sam and Jared telling Sue about my imprinting and Jake getting pissed.
The room we dark when I stepped inside Emily and Kim were still adjusting Bella into a position she would be able to stay in for a while, the only sound was the humming of the oscillating fan in the room. Finally Kim stepped past me putting a comforting hand on my arm as she left I presume to find Jared. Emily came over to me hugging my briefly "You can't move her right now; we will have to find something to tell her father." Her voice was very soft as if trying to keep the calmness of the room, before following Kim out leaving me alone with my imprint my Bella.
I just nodded stepping in the room as my eyes grazed over her frail form. The girls had wrapped a blanket precisely around her body while she was propped up on her side. She was obviously naked, but the blanket covered her entire front and draped over her mid thigh coming up covering her backside tucked in around her. Her pale skin was bare from mid thigh up as my eyes grazed over the swell over her hip; her ribs were visible through her skin showing how thin she actually was. Her arm clutched around the blanket holding it to her chest as I stared at the four angry red wounds that stretched across her flawless uncovered skin; the girls must have thought is best to not cover the wounds quite yet. They stretched from right under her arm across her side in a downward swipe going across her hip ending right on her lower abdomen where her thigh met. I was trying to control myself, but I was beginning to shake seeing what my brother did to her. I attempted to focus on her heart beat I sat on a chair next to her bed too scared to touch her until I noticed a brief movement in her stomach followed by a small moan from her parted lips. I moved onto the bed and curled up behind her moulding my body to hers, feeling her cool back against my heated chest as I tried to comfort her running my fingers gently through her hair.
Jared POV
I stood here watching Paul disappear into the house and then I turned my attention to Sam and Sue, when Kim and Emily stepped out of the house soon after. Sam walked to Emily and was holding her tightly to him and I knew he was reliving what had happened to Emily as he told the girls what had happened. She stood there soothing him, whispering things to calm him into his ear. I looked to Kim and hopped up onto the patio hugging her to me.
"How is she?" I whispered sitting on the steps pulling her into my lap, she laid her head against my shoulder and sighed "She'll be alright, just needs time to heal. She is going to be very sore for a few weeks though. I wouldn't rule out the need for physical therapy." She paused for a minute before whispering in my ear "Has anyone talked to Jacob about what happened yet?"
I held her close nodding my head slightly, "Sam called Embry after we got here, we have heard anything since though." she nodded pressing a kiss to my temple before getting up off my lap pulling her up with her "Go find him Jared, he is probably out of his mind right now. You remember how Sam was." She took my hand walking with me until we reached the tree line. I couldn't help but kiss her, my girl was perfect and caring, Kim always knew how to make things better. "Alright, try and make sure Paul doesn't try and find him" she just nodded "I doubt he'll leave Bella's side right now." I kissed her once more before phasing and taking off to find Jake.
I was immediately linked to Jake's thought and he was going hysterical "I killed her! I killed Bella!" I took off running in his direction "Jake man she isn't dead calm down, did Embry find you?" he just kept pacing "I killed her! You don't get it! I killed her when I told her to leave! I killed her when I attacked Paul! I killed her when I attacked HER!" I heard him howling loudly in pain as I tried to pick up the pace to calm him down, when Embry spoke "I am here, he isn't calming down though. He keeps saying she's dead. We are near the treaty line." I finally found him in a clearing pacing back and forth with the rain pelting down on us. The muddy ground forming around our giant paws as they stomped. "She isn't dead Jake; she's hurt, not dead. Emily, Kim, and Sue fixed her up. Paul is sitting with her now. You need to come home, she isn't awake yet but I am sure she'll want to see you when she does" He was still shaking; "I'll go back to town. But I can't go near her… she'll hate me" I didn't bother arguing, I knew it would be pointless "Just go home to Billy for now Jake, get sleep" looking to Embry "Stay with him, I'll call you when Bella wakes up alright? Oh and Billy already knows so it won't be a shock." he nodded and I took off heading back to Sam's wondering what was going to happen to our pack now.
AN: hope you guys liked it, I look forward to your reviews :)
