Chapter Eleven

EPOV

I don't know what's going on. I'm so confused and scared. We've been told to fall back, so here I am running back and I don't even know if my mates are ok, or even alive. I can only hope that they are ok, because truthfully they have become much more than my mates but more like my brothers.

I could hear the gunshots and bombs going off, men yelling and crying everywhere. I had tears streaming down my face. I want to go home. I miss my Mother and Father, and Bella.

OUCH!!

I just tripped over. I look to see what I tripped over on. I turn and see a body.

Oh no, no, no, no.

I move closer to the body and touch his shoulder, lightly. He was bleeding, but I wasn't sure if he was dead. I take a deep breathe, and roll him over to face me.

As soon as I turn him I fall backwards.

No, it can't be.

"JASPER!!" I scream hysterically.

Just then a big bang came from a couple of metres in front of us. A big cloud of smoke and dust shot up in the air. The fight was getting closer to where we lay.

If I took Jasper with me it would slow me down, and I might not make it.

I look back up to the oncoming fight. And then I look back down at Jasper with a new fierce determination running through me.

I slide my arms underneath Jasper. And pick him up; I've gotten a lot stronger these past few months. I have been working out a lot.

I start running again, trying to pick up the pace. But I'm just not fast enough. Another bomb went off. I felt the impact on my back and stumbled forward a bit. But regained my balance and took off faster. I was really pushing myself now.

I had under a kilometre to go now until I made it into the bush land. It was like a forest.

I could see more of our men running into the cover of the forest. Now men were overtaking me. But one of the men right beside me got hit with a bullet, he fell to the floor. I stopped running and looked at him. He was looking at me too. He whispered something to me but I couldn't hear him over all of the noise going on.

"I'm sorry." I told him and then I took off running again.

I made it. I really did it. I made it into the forest. Now I had to find safety, so I could tend to Jasper. I still didn't know if he was okay. But if he did die, I'm glad I've got him with me, and I didn't just leave him there.

He's my brother for life, and I'll always have his back.

Just then I heard someone calling my name.

"Edward, Edward. Over here man. Oh shit man, Jasper, no." It was Emmett.

I quickly scoured the place and saw him behind these two huge thick trees, with bug boulders everywhere. It was a good place for cover.

I ran over too him. And he quickly took Jasper out of my arms.

Emmett quickly assessed him. He checked for a pulse. I waited not even taking a breath.

"His alive" I instantly sighed a sigh of relief.

"But barely. His got multiple, shot wounds, and his legs all messed up." Emmett said gravely.

"We have got to stop this bleeding, Edward, they got him good. And we still have to get out of here, and we have to do it slower, because of Jasper. And if he takes one more hit, there's no coming back." He looked at me intently. I knew Emmett was only saying it straight to me, but it sounded as though he wanted to leave Jasper behind.

"Emmett, are you thinking we should leave Jasper behind?" I had to ask him, because I knew that I would take him with us, no matter what.

"Never. I would never leave my brother behind. Neither of them." He looked up at me then. He put his hand on my shoulder. He could tell how scared I was. He was too, I knew it but he was trying to be strong for me, for all of us. He's the oldest out of me, him and Jasper, so he felt responsible for us. He took on the big brother role.

And I loved him for it.

I hugged him, a man to man hug of course. He hugged me back.

"Come on bro, it's all gonna be cool. But first things first we got to get Jasper patched up, otherwise his definitely not going to make it. Okay?"

I pulled away, and nodded.

We then both knelt down again, and started working on Jasper.

We both ripped up our uniforms so we could use them to put pressure on Jasper's wounds.

Jasper's vest, which was to help stop the impact from getting shot, was wrecked. It was no use to him now.

I took mine off and put it on him. He needed it more than I did. Emmett took his off too.

I looked at him funny. Jasper only needed one vest. But Emmett didn't put it on Jasper. He put it on over my head. I just looked at him in surprise and shock.

"Emmett, no. You need a vest too."

He just shook his head.

And went back to working on Jasper.

I knew now that I would do everything in my power to protect Emmett, because he was the most vulnerable. He had nothing to protect himself with. If he got shot he'd get the full impact. I would NOT let anything happen to him. He's risking his life to help me, so I'll risk mine to save his.

Jasper started stirring. He was waking up. He was groaning in obvious pain.

He tried to get up, but me and Emmet both stopped him.

We helped him to lean against a tree though.

"How did I get here? Last thing I 'member was getting hit."

"Edward found you, carried you out here."

Jasper looked at me, intently.

"Thank-you Edward. And I really mean that. I owe you my life. But don't do something like that again. You could have died. If I'm injured you leave me. Understand? You leave me to fend for myself. And if I can't you leave me to die. Cause I'll be damned if you or Emmett get hurt trying to help me. Got it?"

I shook my head.

"Edward" Jasper growled.

"No way Jasper. I don't care I'm not leaving you ever. We're family, and family's don't ditch on each other. EVER. Got it?"

Jasper only snorted.

"You're a stubborn one, Eddie"

I scowled. "Don't call me Eddie, Casper"

This time Jasper scowled.

"And you don't call me Cas…"

"Ladies, ladies calm down."

Both, Jasper and I turned to Emmett. I punched him in the arm, and Jasper cussed him out.

Emmett only laughed. Jasper and I smiled. Maybe things were really going to be okay.

Emmett and I were working on a plan, to get us out of here safely. Jasper was tired, so he slept.

It was now night time, and all was quiet.

Me and Emmett were whispering, just in-case there was somebody close by. We didn't want anybody to find us.

We had been working on this plan for a few hours now. As soon as the sun started rising we were out of here. We were going to walk deeper into the woods, till we made it to the other side. Then there should be a river up there, we can set up base there, and then set up an SOS.

While going over our plan again, Jasper started coughing. We looked over at him worriedly. His whole body was shaking violently with coughs.

Then he started coughing up blood. Emmett quickly went over to Jasper and lay him down on his side. That eased up the coughing. But now that we looked closely at Jasper, he really didn't look good. He was all pale and had a fever.

"We have to leave now. No time for sun up. Jasper might not make it till then."

I agreed with Emmett. This time Emmett carried Jasper.

I prayed silently to no one in particular, that all was going to be well.

And that this plan of ours was successful.

Hey guys I know I haven't updated in a while

I don't know why

I don't even know what I've been doing these last few days!!

But I do hope that you have enjoyed this chapter.

As I was writing this I was listening to Bella's lullaby over and over again.

It kind of worked with this chapter, and it makes it seem sadder.

You should try listening to it while reading this chapter.
Well I would LOVE some feedback on this chapter

So just let me know whats on your minds
