AN: This may get kinda sad, but this is my plot so bare with me whether you love it or not. It does get happier, so don't quit on me yet :)

Chapter Fifteen

Jacob's POV

The Pack had never delt with an imprint death during our time, but we all remember the stories about The Third Wife, Sayoki (the imprint who killed herself when her husband died in battle), and Chief Knokinsokin (who's imprint was murdered so he started a war until every involved, and some not involved, members of the opposite tribe were murdered as well...then he took his own life).

But this, right now with Ella, was something that was completely different than any of the legands.

All imprints are treated as equals in the Pack's eyes, so each is given the same respect and family bond as the next, but Ella was special because she was the first one we had ever lost. Most of the Pack was in mourning with Collin because of the connected bond and it was hard to think straight whenever I phase anymore.

Gabriella Louise Martinez Harlen died three days after delivering the twins. Her wake was this morning so tension is still really high. Collin is so lost without her, he was barely able to dress himself this morning. He didn't even care that Alice, a vampire, bathed and dressed him in appropriate clothing for his wife's funeral.

The twins are doing fine though. That's the only good thing about any of this.

Alejandro is nearly physically two because he has been phasing like crazy due to living with the Cullens still. Collin is planning on moving back to La Push with his parents as soon as this whole mess is over, but he has no drive to do it just yet.

Esperanza is on the breathing machine still but she's getting stronger. That's mostly due to Tobias imprinting on her though. He came to visit Ella, right before she passed on, and one look at her little girl and he was a new man. Esperanza (who Tobias calls "Essy") knows whenever he's here and her little eyes will open and she'll smile lightly. The fact that she is alive at all is still a miracle for someone who was born three months early, let alone the fact that she can smile.

Collin and the Pack aren't the only ones not dealing with Ella's death well though. Max shut herself in her room and refuses to come out unless Fang coaxes her, but even he doesn't have the patience to do that very often because he's dealing with Annie. Anastasia blames herself for her aunt's death even though Ella died of natural causes.

But on the plus side, everyone found out that Annie is a psycic as well. Since she's an experiment and mostly human, she can see everyone clearly in her visions since both the wolves, experiments, and vampires all have some human in them. This is really convinent because Alice can only partially see all of us and sometimes she gets it wrong.

The rest of the Flock and Crew don't know what to think or feel. Since the Crew had never been extremely close to Ella, they mostly kept to their house during all this chaos. Angel cries herself to sleep missing Ella and Nudge isn't much better, though she's able to stay stronger because she had Iggy and Sierra to think about. Gazzy is the only one who seems like he doesn't care, but I know it's just an act. He's Max's Little Trooper for a reason.

It's going to be hard to get back to normal after this though. Nothing has upset the La Push residents like this since the Cullen's moved back all those years ago and jump started the phasings again. This will either make us stronger or tear us all apart. All I know for sure is that as Alpha, it's my job to keep everyone together and help Collin through this as best as I can. For now, we have him on suicide watch until we're sure that his kids are enough to live for. According to legands, we as a Pack are not very hopeful.

AN: Sorry this one is so short. And please don't hate me for killing off Ella, I had to do it :(
