Chapter 8: Realizations

His face twisted in pain as anger flared in his eyes. "Nessie stop! You don't know who you're messing with." Bella screamed frantically as she feared for her daughter's safety. But Nessie wouldn't listen. "Stop it you snot nose brat." He growled as he grabbed her arm and jerked it away from his face. He continued to hold her arm tightly as his knuckles began turn white. "Ow you're hurting me!" She screamed. I felt my temper flare, as I was sent into a blind fury. No one hurts her "Jake don't!" I heard everyone yell, but it was to late I had already started my attack. That was the last thing I remember until I opened my eyes.

I opened my eyes and saw everyone standing over me. I could see their lips moving, but I couldn't hear any sounds. I became frantic as I thought I had went deaf. "Jake. Jake are you alright?" I could finally everyone asking. Even Rosalie seemed concerned. But I couldn't think about myself, all I could worry about was Nessie. "How is she?" I asked as their face grew long. Something had happened when I attacked. My heart sank into the pit of my stomach as I awaited the answer.

"We'll discuss this later after you heal." Carlisle said. I looked over my body that was bandage to see an IV sticking out of my left hand. How bad was I? I wondered but that was still the least of my concerns. "No we'll discuss this now. How is she?" I demanded as I could feel the rage building again. No one answered. "Nessie, how is she?" I asked again, but they continued to look at each other. "We'll we might as well tell him. He has to find out sooner or later." Esmee said. Her normal soft voice seemed heavy. I closed my eyes as they began to tell me what my memory had blocked out. I knew that what they were going to tell me was going to be hard to handle.

"Jake when Nessie yelled out in pain, Jasper could feel the fury within you. He warned us that you were going to attack. At his words you sprang launching yourself at Joham. We tried to stop you but it was to late. When Joham saw jumping at him he raised his eye brow and let a smirk cross his face. He was going to hurt you in the worst way possible. He raised her up into the air and threw her as hard as he possibly could, through the wall. Edward tried to catch her, but he missed her by a tenth of a second. When she hit the wall she fell unconscious Carlisle began examining her to discover that she has swelling of the brain and she fell into a coma. As for you Jake, you were no match for Joham. You two fought for about twenty seconds until he got bored, and then he began to mangle you. It was easy for him. Then without warning he quit and jumped out the window. We don't understand why left you. I think it is some unspoken warning." Esmee informed me.

Guilt overcame me as her words began to sink in. I had caused her terrible injuries. "I need to see her." I begged but Carlisle forbid it. He wanted to wait until morning when I would nearly completely healed. "How is Leah?" I asked hoping that she was just dazed. "She fine, she is back with the pack." At least there a little bit of good news. "You get some rest and we will see you in the morning." Jasper said as the Cullens began to leave to sleep. As soon as they were gone I pulled the IV from my hand and climbed out bed and made my way to her room. I had see her. I had to apologize for my behavior. I opened the door to see her peacefully asleep with all types of monitors to hooked to her. Tears began to sting as they fell from my eyes. I walked over to her and grabbed her hand. I could hear her heart flutter a little. At least she still responded to me.

"Ness Bear, you've going to be alright. I'm so sorry that I caused this to you. I promise that I will never hurt you again and I promise that Joham will never get near you again." I said as I looked down at her. "What have I done?" I cried out loud. How could I been so reckless with her hanging in the balance. What have I done. "Jake, you need your rest." Edward said as he walked in the door. "Don't beat yourself up. It isn't your fought. You did what had to be done. Now go get some rest because you're the first person she wants to see when she awakes." I looked at him confusingly. "I can still hear her thoughts." I nodded as I walked back to the bed they had me in. As I laid in bed I had an epiphany. I now know what made Joham so special, and it isn't his herculean strength.
