Chapter 7: Packing
At the sight of him I quickly shift, tearing my last pair of pants. I could feel the presence of the Cullens behind me. I know that they were ready to attack, but none of us made a move as he held her. I could feel the anger and fear pulsing through my body as I was powerless to save the girl I loved. I let out a deep growl, warning him, but he didn't pay it much mind. He stood there holding her, his eyes full of excitement as he held the key to his ultimate desire.
It sickened me the way he looked at her. I wanted nothing more than to rip him to shreds, and I knew the Cullens felt the same. There had to be a way to free Nessie safely from his clutches. "Sam!" I called to the other alpha male. We needed a silent attacker. "Yes Jake." He responded. I began to fill his mind images of Joham and his deal with Nessie. Then I explained the plan to free her. "No problem, we'll send Leah." Over the past seven years she had nearly perfected the art of stealth. Only one or two enemies could her coming. "Thank you." I said as we waited.
"Edward, Leah is on her way. She will be here shortly. He won't know what hit him." I telepathically sent the message. My eyes never left Nessie, my defenseless angel. I knew it wouldn't be long before Leah would have her free. Joham continued to stare at her when Leah jumped through the window. I hadn't heard her coming and I was linked to her. So I watched in astonishment as he caught her with one hand in mid-air. With her by the throat I feared what was to come Next.
Her eyes widen with fear, as she dangled by her throat. The rest of us frozen, as we calculated our next move. We didn't want either of them to get hurt. "Sam!" I yelled sending him a mental image of Leah. I could feel his heart break. Though he loved Leah's cousin deeply, Leah will always hold a special part of him, for she was his first love.
"Tell your pack to stay away if they know whats best." He snarled as he threw her. She hit the stone way and fell hard to the ground. I heard her let out a loud whimper and then she fell silent. "Leah?" I continued to ask by linking but she laid there unresponsive. My plan had backfired. As if it wasn't bad enough Nessie was still in danger, but I also gotten one of my pack members injured. There had to be away to end this terrifying ordeal.
Nessie began to stir in his arms. "Jake." She groggily. "What happ..." She trailed off as her vision became clear. She saw a stranger gazing and holding her. She also saw the rest of us in the doorway waiting to attack. She looked at me, her soft brown eyes pleaded for help. My heart broke, when I knew there was nothing I could do. She was terrorified. I had promise to protect her, and now when she needed it I'm stuck on the side lines.
Nessie glanced up at Joham and her eyes began to change expressions. She was plotting. She raised her hand to his cheek. I watched as his eyes widen with pain. I wanted to warn her not to provoke him but it was to late.
Please tell me what you think.
