HI! So I know this story has been abandoned for a long while. And I know I offered it up for adoption, but I think I am going to try working on this again now that I have a little more time. I do hope you guys enjoy this and that you will review. Also, I would love a Beta if anyone is interested. Helping review and possible give ideas. Thank you all! Oh Italics are when the wolves are phased and talking and the italics BOLD is the wolf talking.

Sam POV

I sat in a chair leaning over rubbing my forehead as Emily rubbed my back with her small hands trying to comfort me in some way, it hurt knowing I just had to hold my brother back from his own imprint as her father took her from here. I didn't have to be phased with him right now to know his pain. I could feel it radiating through my chest. I knew Jared felt it too, the pack knew what happened, but Jared and I were the only two with imprints. I knew what it was to have your imprint taken away, I grasped Emily's small hand kissing it remembering after our own 'incident', when the ambulance came for her. I couldn't go with her as Old Quil and Harry Clearwater, I had managed to phase back, but I was covered in her blood my right arm had been stained by my inability to control myself during a fight with her. Jared's biggest fear was watching Kim be forced from his grasp and I knew he was with her now holding on to her.

My eyes looked over at the shattered wood that used to be a bed frame, seeing the blood splattered on the floor from where Bella forced herself up after learning about imprinting. It had been too much for the girl in her state. He didn't blame Paul for telling her, it was time. He had even encouraged Paul to tell her, she had seemed okay with Paul holding her. Maybe it was the heat and comfort he was giving her in her time of need. Her mind must have subconsciously knew he was protecting her, but when faced with the reality….. She couldn't handle it. She had been broken, I should have known, I was the one that found her in the woods after the leeches left her. We all saw her when she was 'dead' to all feeling, and we saw when Jacob had brought her back, and then when Jacob phased…. I had seen her reaction at his house when she fought with him. "I should have known she wasn't ready Em." My voice was not powerful, it was shaking as my beautiful blessing kneeled in front of me taking my face in her hands. "Sam, there was no way of knowing, it looked as if she had accepted his presence. But she has been through a lot Sam. This is no one's fault. Especially not yours. Paul will calm down and come back, Bella will be able to get well at the hospital. And we can go from there." I just nodded covering her hands with mine loving how they felt against me, I still had no idea how I had gotten so lucky.

Sue knocked on the bedroom door before stepping inside, "Paul is back Sam, but he isn't phasing back." Nodding as I stood up, "He might not be able too, I'll be back later. " Emily just smiled at me nodding before kissing me. "Go take care of him Sam, he needs his big brother right now." I hugged her close before heading out of the house seeing Paul, his dark silver form pacing back and forth on the edge of the forest. Quickly taking off my shorts tying them to my leg before phasing. "Sam… There is a leech in the area." That was it, no comforting, no talks, not now at least as we headed out at full speed. "Where did you smell it Paul? Was it the Cullen leeches?" Paul gruffed, "No, It was by the river on our side. Even if it was them, it is our territory." A growl ripped through me knowing the leech had been so close, my own wolf growing with anger egging me on "Our mate is in danger, Kill it, KILL IT."I growled in agreement picking up my pace following Paul, Finally we came into a clearing and directly across from us a dark man with long dreads turned quickly as his red eyes glared at us before taking off through the woods trying to escape us "Let's get him Paul!" He roared out in agreement as we both took off towards the leech as he ran for his a few moments later Paul had the leech in his teeth, the leech tried ripping away before opening his mouth seemly giving up, "You think she is safe beast?" He grinned chuckling at us, "You think any human is safe?" He just started laughing, "They are coming to set things straight and you will all feel their wrath!" I growled loudly as it echoed through the woods, Paul was holding onto him by the torso. "Rip him to shreds Paul, leave his head for now though!" Paul growled out "Gladly" before the leech lost both arms and legs snarling out in agony. Paul and I quickly phase back throwing on our shorts, Paul flipped his lighter in his hand. I stood over the blood sucker pressing my foot down on his throat, "Who is coming leech? How many are coming?" He just grinned at us laughing crazily, "More than you can handle." I pressed down harder seeing his stone neck cracking silently telling him more information was required "Royalty…. The Vo…Volturi." I snarled out, "Why are they coming here!" He started laughing and pointed to Paul who had the flame already open on the lighter, "They want the female, the female who's sent is all over that beast." Paul growled out, "Why do they want her?" the leech just laughed, "Because she is the proof they need." I was done hearing him as I slammed my foot the rest of the way down effectively removing his head from his body as Paul threw the lighter down engulfing his body as the disgusting stench of his burning corpse wafted into the air.

Paul POV

I stalked into the woods still in my human form as Sam followed me. "Sam, what he said…." Sam just looked at me nodding, "We need to speak with Jacob and Jared as well as the elders. If that many are coming we will need to prepare." Grinding my teeth I glared at a tree in my path, "Sam, there are only four of us. Jacob is a mess, I am…. I don't know." Sam looked at me sternly, "We will pull it together. And there are already signs of others turning sadly." I could see the pain in Sam's eyes, none of us wanted other to go through this. "Who?" He ran a hand through his hair, "Embry Call and Quil Ateara, they have suddenly both started showing signs.

There is another one, as well. But they are not sure. He is…. To young." Sam looked down glaring at the ground. "Too young Sam? I think we were all too young to have this on our shoulders, who caught their eye?" I couldn't help but prod, I needed to know. "Seth Clearwater…" That stopped me in my tracks. "Seth? He is 14 Sam." Sam just nodded, "He will be 15 in 3 days, he is still small though, I am hoping it won't happen. Otherwise he will probably the smallest. I don't even know if I could put him out there at his age." I couldn't help the snort, "If he turns his temper will be like ours. He probably won't accept anything else. He would be in the pack. "Sam glared, I knew he wasn't just worried about Seth, it was his big sister Leah. Leah whom Sam hurt when he turned and then imprinted on Emily, her own cousin. Now her brother might be joining him. I was glad I wasn't in his position right now. As we walked back to Sam's house, I couldn't help shake the pressure building in my chest, it was as if I was afraid. But I wasn't.

As we got back into the house I noticed Emily and Sue walking back down the stairs each holding a bucket with crimson colored soapy water and I immediately knew they had cleaned Bella's blood off the floor. "I was going to do that for you Emily it was…" she cut me off holding her hand up, "Paul Lahote you better not end that with it being your fault, because it wasn't. It happened. But it was in no way your fault." She squeezed my arm slightly as she walked past me and out to the back to dispose of the water. The phone had rung while I was talking to Emily and Sam had been talking for a moment before hanging up and looking at me. "Paul we need to go to Billy Blacks house." I looked at him confused, I was pretty sure Jacob wouldn't want to see me. I know I wouldn't want to see him if the role were reverse. Paul, Charlie Swan is over there." That caught my attention, why wasn't he at the hospital with my Bella? "What's wrong?" Sam shifted away from the wall, "Charlie is demanding answers Paul, Bella….. Bella is gone. Someone took her from the hospital." I started shaking as I briefly saw Emily and Sue back out of the room as Sam tried calming me down. "Paul, the cops are looking for her, but Charlie wants answers. Billy said he is starting to connect the dots from the Cullen's to Us and he knows it has something to do with Billy already talked to Old Quil and Harry, they agree he needs to be told in order to keep our secret. We need to go explain things…." I couldn't literally feel my heart skip a beat, Bella was missing and here I was have to go explain the world of vampires and wolves to her father. This was not happening….

Well there it is Please review! I hope you all forgive me!
