Chapter 3
Should I stay or Should I go
Carlisle, Esme, and Emmett were rushing around, trying to stop the bleeding, when they heard Elle's heart stopped. Esme and Emmett stood shock still but Carlisle jumped into action and started the resuscitator. After a few charges to her heart, it began to beat once more.
They all breathed a sigh of relief. Then something strange began to happen. Her wounds began to heal at almost a vampiric pace. Within what seemed like moments, the bleeding had stopped and the skin was pulling itself back together.
The three starred on, not knowing what to think or do. They were just thankful that she was going to live. After the procedure was finished and they had put Elle in a more comfortable room, they went downstairs to check on the kids. The children were huddled together on the couch watching Jasper, Demetri, and Edward making weird faces at each other (in what could only be thought of as an attempt at making them feel better) while Alice, Angela, Rosalie and Jane were in the kitchen making something for them to eat.
"Is mommy ok now?" Destiny asked in a hopeful tone.
"Yes, she'll be fine, but I have to ask what happened to cause all of this?" Carlisle responded. He didn't mean to pry, but to have injuries to that extent, something awful must have happened to cause them.
Destiny looked away not wanting to get her mommy in trouble, so Jacob told them what happened earlier and why they were on the side of the road. When he finished the story he looked at everyone's faces and saw the girls crying (there were no tears on their face, he'd have to ask about that one later). The men looked angry, all except for the big buff guy. The look on his face could only be described as pure and utter rage.
How could someone do that to four defenseless children who have done nothing to no one? Better yet, why would they shoot Elle for trying to protect those kids when their so-called mothers put her in charge of them in the first place? Emmett put those questions aside for a later date. Right now they needed to come up with a plan to keep Elle and the children safe.
Little Conner chose that time to make himself known by letting out a loud cry for his mama. He didn't know where he was but he wanted his mama and he wanted her now.
Rosalie ran up to him and picked him up, trying to figure out what was wrong with him when he wouldn't settle down. She didn't understand it. She wanted to be a mother so badly, yet she couldn't even calm this little boy down.
Having mercy on her, Jacob took Conner from her and hummed the lullaby he had heard Elle hum so many times before to help all of them to sleep. Little did he know that the tune he was humming was a song of the past. A song of life, a song of Elle's past life, of Bella's life.
