Chapter Twenty-three - The fight

PPOV

I didn't want to leave Bella, not after last time. I couldn't bare to see her like that. But to my surprise she seemed to have come around to the fact that I need to go and help the pack. Could she get anymore perfect? I knew she was going to worry about me, but she had Emily and she knows how Bella feels.

Myself and Leah got closer to the beach and we could see the others running in front of us. When we caught up with them the smell of vampire hit us. Quil was stood near the woods opening in wolf form. Not far away from him were two leech. One was the woman that Bella described and the other was a blonde man. They was stood there smirking at as.

I instantly phased and the rest followed.

What do we do Jake? Quil's thoughts entered our heads.

Give chase He thought simply.

He started to run towards the leeches with us towing behind him. The smirks on there faces grew when they realised that we was going to fight. They set off into the woods and we could no longer see them. We all sped up and got to the place in which they had disappeared.

We carried on trailing there scents until we came to a stop. They was two trails. They had split up.

Right I want Sam, Jared and Paul to follow the males scent. The rest of us will follow the woman's. Jake commanded.

I was not pleased with this. I wanted to tear that woman leech to pieces for scaring my Bella. I growled.

Paul I can not have you chasing this woman and putting one of the pack in danger. I wont take that risk Jacob thought as he lend Quil, Embry, Seth and Leah away.

I huffed and followed after Sam and Jared.

The scent trail seemed to go on forever. It carried on. Nobody seemed to be think of much as we put our full concentration into the hunt for the leeches. After about an hour the woman's trail had joined back on to the mans. This caused us to met back up with Jacob and the others. We were all starting to think that we had lost them.

"Aww look at the little dogs!" I woman sneered ahead of us. We all jumped into action. The scent became more intense as we carried on. It led us all to a huge clearing. At the opposite side of the clearing was the two bloodsuckers themselves. They both still had that evil smirk on there faces.

"So where is the girl?" The red head laughed with a hungry look in her eye. Obviously none of us was willing to phase to speak so we just growled. The girl? Was she talking about Bella? My Bella.

I think she is Paul, Jacob angrily thought.

I growled again this time louder. I tried to pounce towards the leeches, but Sam and Jared held me back.

Paul you need to calm down! Sam thought.

What are we meant to do wait until they attack first. I want to kill them. Anger was filling up inside me.

"Aww it looks like we hit a soft spot. That girl …..she smells so good. I cant wait to taste her blood. Nobody has ever smelt so appetising to us. We want her. What can we trade for her?" The blonde hair man said. I tried to pounce but yet again I was held back. We need to find out what they are here for and if they are planning to stay Paul. Control your self! Jacob commanded.

I took a deep breath.

"If you give us the girl we will leave. You are making it perfectly clear that we are on your land and you don't like it, so give over the girl and we will never return. This is all we want." The woman said. She had a smirk still in place on her face.

Jacob moved forward so that he was ahead of us all. He shook his head from side to side. He was telling them no, we will not give Bella over to them.

"Come on what use do you have for a meaningless human. She would taste so good, we don't want to waste such delicious blood! That is the only reason we are here. We have tracked the human for quite a while. We want her blood and if you don't hand her over, we will fight." The blonde said with a laugh. They want to kill my Bella! I growled loudly but this time I wasn't the only one that was having trouble trying not to attack.

Come on Jacob! Leah yelled in her thoughts. She was furious that they were saying this about her best friend.

The red head leech is mine! Quil and Embry thought at the same time. They both looked at each other and instead of the normal argument that would occur they both just nodded and agreed to do it together.

The blonde started to talk again. "The girl is not important to you, what can she be important for she is only human. Now let us have the human and we can make her life worthwhile……she can be our dinner"

I couldn't control it anymore, I jumped on him and not one of the pack held me back. I landed on top of him. It felt like knocking into a steal board. My front paws landed on his shoulders and forced him to the floor. I growled a deadly growl in his face and was about to rip is head off when his legs kicked me off. I flew into the air and landed on the other side of the clearing. I jumped back up and looked around. Quil, Embry, Sam and Jared were all fighting the red head, who was laughing hysterically as she fought them all. She was winning. Jacob, Seth and Leah were now trying to fight the man but he was too strong just like the woman.

We had never had this problem with vampires before, normally it is a quick fight and only one of us has to do it.

Straight away I got back in the fight. The blonde head was turned away from me so I jumped him whilst I had the chance. I landed on him and ripped his arm off.

Seth go start a fire, I heard Jacob tell Seth.

I didn't think about what was happening around me. I just pulled and ripped the leech underneath me as he screamed. I was thinking about what he had said about Bella, I used that anger to cause him as much pain as possible before he 'died'.

No, we lost her I heard Quil think.

Should we try to find her Embry asked Jacob.

I blocked out the rest of there thoughts and focused on the leech that I was killing. The woman had gone, they had lost her. She was out there still. What about if she hurts my Bella.

We will not allow that to happen Paul. Sam thought.

I helped Seth pile the rest of the body parts in to the fire.

"JAMES!" We heard a scream through out the woods. No doubt that was the female and the leech we had just 'killed' was James. We all looked at Jacob as the flames grew higher. He just shook his head. We would not give chase again. She will come after us and we will be ready, we have already used to much of our strength. Chasing her would be stupid and probably lead to one of our deaths.

"Paul!" I heard the voice of my angel shout as I walked into Sam's house. Bella ran out of the kitchen covered in floor. Her face brightened with that amazing smile when she saw me.

She ran into my arms." I missed you. Is everything okay? Nobody is hurt are they?"

"Bella calm down. Everything is fine. No body is hurt and we managed to get one of the leeches. As for the missing you part…." I trailed off and placed my lips against hers. Our lips moved together until we needed to breath. I rested my forehead against hers and whispered, "I missed you too" She giggled and pulled away. "Can I ask why you are covered in flour?" I asked not wanting her to ask any more questions about what has just happened in the woods. I don't want to scare her by telling her that the bloodsucker wants her.

Bella giggled again. "Emily said that her way of dealing with Sam been away was baking. We ended up having a massive flour fight. The kitchen is such a mess, but the upside is that we made cookies!"

I laughed as she pulled me into the kitchen were the rest of the guys were eating the cookies.

I sat down on a chair at the table and pulled Bella on to my lap. I picked up a cookie and took a bite, it tasted amazing.

"This is delicious" I moaned in her ear. "But not as delicious as you" I whispered and licked some flour of her neck.

"Eww can you please not do that whilst were eating!" Quil whined.

"Its okay, we don't mind Quil." I laughed.

The others laughed as well, with the exception of Quil. We were a family and not one leech is going to spoil that.

There you have it, the end of another Chapter! There is way more to come, even though this story is nearly over! I want to cry!

I'm sorry that the fighting bit wasn't very good. I'm not good at describing that type of thing, so that why it is only short.

There will probably be loads of typos in this because I'm tired and cant be bothered to read through it.

Review please
