A/N: WARING THIS CHAPTER IS GRAPHIC

Many Men

My back on the wall, now you gon' see. Better watch how you talk, when you talk about me cause I'll come and take your life away- 50 cent

Diego:

"So you showed? I thought you would pussy out not having your boys here and all" One of the Arañas said. "You better fucking watch what you say

when you're talking about me and Diablos Morosos vato (guy)" I say with an even tone. Then it all happened fast. They fired their guns and I fired mine.

It was all a blur, but when everything died down the four of them were lying on the ground and I was standing but not doing much better. As I'm trying

to decide what to do with them and keep from bleeding out, a man and a gorgeous woman walk up to me. They smelled so fucking bad like bleach and

they had red contacts too. "Hello mutt, we're friends of the Cullens. Why don't you let us take care of these boys? Run back to La Push tell Jacob that

Peter and Charlotte are coming to visit Jasper." The gorgeous woman says. I run into the woods too shocked to think about what just happened. I strip

and put my clothes in the bag and run back to La Push.

"DIGGY?" Ray says frantically. "Ya." I say trying to maintain consciousness. I'm losing a lot of blood. "I'm so glad you're all right. Diggy you don't sound

good." She says worriedly. "Well I'm not doing too great Ray. Just get the stuff I'll be there in like two minutes." I hiss in pain. I wrap my bandana around

my arm tight trying to stop the bleeding. I stumble through the yard and up the porch steps. I can hear Ray yelling for people to go upstairs but I don't

see a lot of movement among the group "Ray you gotta get them out. There's five." I hiss shutting the door behind me and walking into the house. I'm

met with a collective gasp followed by a lot of voices, but I can't focus on anything. "Diggy. You promised!." Ray says pushing a chair to me. Everyone's

silent just watching us as I hear Reina begin to cry. "Ray keep it together Hermanita (little sister). You can yell at me all you want in an hour. If I bleed

out you can't yell at me and I know how much you love it." I say breathily. She quickly extracts the bullets out of my forearm, leg and back shoulder,

depositing them onto a paper plate. I grunt and squeeze my eyes shut trying not to move as she pulled them out and reaches for the iron. "What the

hell are you doing?" Tio asks as Ray tests to see if the irons hot. "I gotta burn them closes, or it'll just keep bleeding." She says shakily. "You gotta stay

still Dig. 3 in a row" She says all business. Soon the searing hot pain of the iron is added onto the pain of the gunshot wound, again and again and

again. I scream out in pain trying to keep still. "You guys should leave. You don't need to see this." She says to the group of spectators. Ray tries to pull

my shirt off but it hurts too much. "JUST FUCKING RIP IT!" I yell in pain and I hear the tearing of material. I yell out again as the iron closes the hole in my

side, making sure I don't fall to my knees in front of all these people. I'm already feeling a lot better than ten minutes ago. My increased healing has

quickly replenished all the blood I lost. "One more Ray, just one more." I coach her pointing to the bullet in my chest. "Diggy if this was on the other side

you'd be dead right now!" Ray begins to cry and her hands shake. "It's gunna take a lot more than a bullet to put me under niña . Come on take it out.

I'm dying here." I plead, but she just cries harder. "Lo siento that was a bad choice of words. I'm fine Ray, or I will be once you pull this out. No voy a

morir (I'm not going to die)" I say with a small laugh. "It's not funny Diego!" She says slapping my arm, where she burnt it earlier. "Orale Ray, at least

hit my good arm." I say wincing. She shakes her head pulling herself together and starts prying out the bullet. She burns it close and I yell in pain for

thankfully the last time. Ray starts crying and I hold her to my chest. "Gracias hermanita. Estoy bien. ¿Ves? (Thank you little sister. I'm all right. See?)"

I say smoothing her hair. "Diggy? Diggy why were you yelling? Why is Reina crying?" Linah says attaching herself to thankfully my good leg. "We're fine.

You know Ray, she worries too much" I say nudging Ray playfully who glares daggers at me. "No te preocupes tanto (don't worry so much)" Linah says

and I laugh.

Rowen:

"What do you thinks going on down there?" Liv asks scared. Diego yells out in pain again and we all cringe. "I don't know, but he's in a lot of pain." I say

trying to keep from crying. Hearing blood curdling yells is sort of traumatic. He sounds like he's being tortured down there. I feel like I can't breathe,

maybe I'm hyperventilating. Something really bad must have happened to him. Our parents made us all come up here once Reina tried to shoo everyone

away. "JUST FUCKING RIP IT" I hear him yell. Ryker and Regan got to stay down there since they are the oldest of the pack except for Gage. "Holy fuck,

he was almost dead when he walked in. There was blood everywhere. It was awesome!" Ryker say popping into the room. "He got shot, at least five

times from what I could see. Reina has to pull out the bullets with tweezers and then burn the hole closed with an iron! It's like the fucking do it yourself

ER down there. She already got out most of 'em. All that's left is the one in his chest now I think. He's a tough son of a bitch, I'd be begging for death

right now." Regan says running in behind him. My eyes get big. He was shot five times? "Oh my God. This has had to have happened before if Reina

knows what she's doing" I think out loud to myself. "Fuck you're right! How many times has this kid been shot?" Liv says as Diego yells out in pain one

more time.

We all rush down the stairs after the screaming stopped. Diego doesn't have a shirt on and even though there's left over blood and burn marks I never

really realized how sexy he was. Yesterday I didn't even give glance at him. Now I wish I would have. Wow! What's wrong with me you cannot crush on

the guy that just almost died in a gang shoot out, besides I have Chris. "What the hell just happened here?" Sam says looking at Diego. Diego looks to

Reina uneasily before telling her to take Malinah up to bed. "Ok let's go back to a month ago. My boss Esteban told me and Chuy to go talk to this group

of guys that were trying to move in on his territory." Diego say firmly. "By group of guys you mean a gang, and by your boss, you mean your gang

leader." Aunt Jula says. "Si" He says with an even tone. I'll give him that. He could be cowering or lying. "I'm in Diablos Morosos." He says lifting his hand

showing the tattoo. I knew it! I knew it was a gang tattoo! "Well anyway, we told them we run LA and they left no fighting no nothing. That night Chuy

got killed in a drive by but they didn't know who did it. Then tonight I get a call off Chuy's phone saying it was the Aranas and they came to Seattle and

were going to kill me. I agreed to meet the four of them out by the docks. It all happened real fast. There were gun shots and when everything cleared

they were down trying to get up and I was up trying not to go down. Then the weird part happened. This freaky pale vato and lady came up to me and

was all Hello mutt, we're friends of the Cullens. Why don't you let us take care of these boys? Run back to La Push tell Jacob that Peter and Charlotte are

coming to visit Jasper. Fucking cryptic, but I didn't care I got the hell outta there man. So ya, that's what happened." Diego says looking around the

room. Our eyes catch and he stares at me cocking his head. His eyes are a deep deep brown, and hold so much pain that I never noticed before. I feel

bad for being so judgmental towards him. "How long have you been a shape shifter?" Sam says as Diego breaks our eye contact shaking his head. "After

all that you only want to know about me being a Chupacabra? I turned right after mama died, so a little over a year." He says shrugging his shoulders.

"Those people that talked to you were vampires. It is our job to protect the reservation and our people from them." Sam states. "Vampiro?" Diego

questions more to himself. Sam nods yes. "You need to phase so we can see what to make of this." Uncle Jake says to Diego. He can't though; it might

rip open his burns. Oh my god the sound of him screaming is forever burned in my memory. "No. He's had a long day. He got shot Sam! I don't know if

you remember, but I do. He can do it tomorrow once he's healed more. He's going straight to bed to get some much needed rest! We'll all meet up in the

morning and figure this mess out." Emily says in her own Alpha tone.

A/N: Well I warned you. It's sad, but for some people this is a real life mentality. Shoot or get shot. Review
