Here's the next chapter! Sorry it took so long but I lost inspiration on this story for a while. I have it back now though so no worries!
It had been about an hour since we had come out of Layla's room to a very shock and surprised Bella pulling a very confused Edward from her room. We were now sitting out side in the back yard with everyone there. It was now 3:30 in the afternoon and the clouds had returned to there normal position; blocking out the sun and leaving an overcast over Forks and probably La Push. I cringed at the thought of going back home and leaving Layla for any amount of time…that and the fact that my father was probably going to kill me for coming here without his permission. I don't know what his problem was! I was the alpha after all; I should be able to make my own decisions without his authority! …ok Layla was most defiantly getting to me. Not that I minded but my father might.
Layla had explained that she and Bella were going to go into a meditative state and sort through her mind for answers.
Layla and Bella were sitting Indian style facing each other; Layla twirling her hair and Bella explaining what had happened to the rest of the family. Edward was the first to ask a question.
"Why did I drink Bella's venom just like it was blood? And why are my eyes green? " We all turned to look at Layla for an explanation.
She sighed and muttered something about stupid all knowing angels and over reliable vampires.
"I'm not sure exactly why you could drink her "blood" but I know some of the reason is because Bella and I don't have normal venom. If either of us bites someone they will instantaneously change into a vampire if they are human. Our venom will completely stun a vampire if we chose it to but that's not normally a problem considering our venom reserves aren't automatic and we have to call it forward if we fight. Further more Bella's venom has a special healing property and if she bites a vampire they have no need for blood for at least two months and are completely healed from any recently obtained battle injuries. Mine however is a bit stranger. My venom will turn anything into a vampire even if its heart has stopped beating but only for about twenty minutes after said things death. However this does have repercussions; if they are not in a good condition when they are changed they are stuck that way until I heal them. Like say some got stabbed through the heart- If I changed them they would still feel immense pain in there chest. Then Bella has to bite them or I have to heal there bodies before I bite them. But Bella healing them after I bite them takes a lot of energy on her part, so unless she's in perfect condition I usually do the healing before I turn them." Layla explained as we all stared.
"Damn." Was all I heard Emmet say, I must admit that was impressive. I didn't know much about vampires still but I pretty much knew the general idea and I knew that wasn't normal.
"So anyways as to why your body responded like it did and the marks on Bella's and mines shoulders and backs are what we're trying to find out. However I'm pretty sure that the marks on our shoulders are claiming marks. And your eyes color is probably just some side affect." She explained. I remembered what she said earlier about the marks on the female vampire's shoulders. Well at least it worked in the since that she was now marked as mine in the eyes of my pack and more importantly my father.
"So what exactly is about to happen?" I asked looking at Layla from my spot where I was standing next to Edward who was staring at Bella with the same look of apprehension as me towards Layla.
"Basically we're going to travel into Layla mind using our powers. We're going to go to the place where the Angel of Destruction put the information she gave Layla. We're going to go in, sort out the information, and get out." Bella informed us.
"What do you believe you'll find out?" Aro questioned.
Bella looked at Layla who shrugged "I'm pretty sure all that she transferred to me was a couple of things about stones derived from out powers and the stuff about the marks. I know she didn't give out all the information about the marks because, while she has a since of pride, she enjoys to watch people struggle."
She smiled reassuringly at her family but I wasn't fooled. She was scared. Not of what they might find out but of the fact that Bella was about to go into her mind. She had told me that it wasn't a safe place to venture without her permission unless you had a death wish. And even then she couldn't block Bella from everything in her mind. She had told me that where the information was in her mindscape was near all the stored memories of pain.
When she told me about her mind she said it was something like a huge dome with multiple chambers with separate stores of information. She said they were all connected but she could cut off some of the different connections so the information didn't mix together. She explained that this was how she saw all the past memories of everyone from thousands of points of view and didn't go completely insane.
"Shall we?" Layla said suddenly. Bella nodded and help her hands facing up between her and Layla. Layla also put her hands face up; one hand above one of Bella and one below. They nodded to each other and Layla went into a trance like stare.
Layla's eyes started to glow and a silver light drifted from her eyes and formed a good sized sphere, about the size a basketball, between their faces. It was very bright and reminded me of a miniature star. Bella's blue eyes stared to glow and a blue sliver of light slipped out of her eyes like water and disappeared inside the sphere.
They stayed like that for a good ten minutes-all the while in complete concentration, except for a random smirk from Layla.
In an instant the two different colors of light retreated into the girls eyes and they came back to the present. They stared at each other for a second before Layla started to attempt to restrain a laugh before she was just down right in hysterics.
We all just stared at an annoyed looking Bella glaring Layla who was rolling on the ground in hysteric laughter. "It's not that funny you know! It's sweet!" Bella finally yelled.
"It's just…so…CORNY! The way she phrased it!" Layla managed to choke out between laughing fits before managing to suppress it to a small chuckle. "Ok it is sweet, but Bella that is one of the corniest things I have ever heard."
Bella pouted and walked over to Edward who she then proceeded to kiss passionately while muttering something along the lines of "I like corny". Edward seemed surprised by this but didn't complain. Layla walked over to me and I put my arm around her.
"Ok, break it up! Bella we have things to tell them and then we can show them." Layla said turning to us and began to answer the unasked questions from the families.
She told us that Sandstones were created when Bella concentrated on her powers and molded into a strong, positive emotion and she had to be holding ocean water to do so. Moonstones were the equivalent of sandstones but Layla's version. She said that with the stones they could carve different symbols for different things. She smiled as she told us she could help control Jasper's blood-lust and maybe even help with expanding certain powers such as Alice's and Caius's.
She also mentioned that if someone signed their name on a Moonstone that had certain binding symbols on it with a Sandstone than it could affect multiple people's emotions and even mental and physical states. (Think of Arial sighning the contract with the witch in Little Mermaid) That why she said that we could get the pack and the three brothers to sign their names and that would result in the feud between vampires and werewolves to be ended. This part particularly made me excited.
After she had finished explaining that part she turned to Bella and Edward and spoke in a very sage like voice that sounded like she was reciting some sort of prophecy "When true love makes its mark, they shall be all the other needs; all of the comfort, the love, the energy and this shall be true for all eternity as they stand beside each other and make it know to the world they are each others and for no one else." She stopped and seemed to ponder something. "Ok you're right sis, its sweet I'll admit…however corny it may be."
"So is that why I can drink from her?" Edward asked. I could tell my new friend was glad to finally know that what he didn't was normal…or as normal as you can get with this crowd.
"Yes it is and there's more. Bella no longer needs to be in the presence of the ocean to receive necessary energy; all she needs is your presence to survive, literally. That's what I said was corny." Layla explained to them. Did that mean that something like that had happened to her through me? Could something like that happen because of me?
"Layla, what about you?" Though it was unnecessary I decided to voice my question.
Layla turned in my arms a bit so she could face me. "Yes it is for us also, though…I couldn't get her to give us the exact result of my mark. All I know is it makes us bond 'closer through ability' or something like that." She twirled her fingers through her hair for a second before some realization stuck her "Kyle, did you feel anything different after I received the mark? Or even while it was being put on me?"
"I felt some sort of cool sensation on my right shoulder now that you mention it, it's still there." I told her honestly. I hadn't actually stopped to check what it was.
"Let me see your shoulder." Layla said simply before lifting the sleeve of my cotton t-shirt and peering at my shoulder. I saw her eyes widen some "That's new"
I checked to see what she was talking about and I saw that I had a mark that matched hers but it was paler than my usual skin color.
"What do you think it means, Layla?" I heard Marcus ask.
"I have no idea." I heard everyone gasp, except for myself, Bell and Edward, and I refrained from rolling my eyes. Yes, I believed that Layla could figure anything out if she wanted to however; I knew that she did not know everything. She knew a lot but not everything. I probably would believe this unless she had told me herself…multiple times.
However Layla didn't try to hide the fact that she was annoyed. She rolled her eyes and huffed like she was disappointed "If you want my initial thought I say that it either means that something extremely positive that could be an advantage to us in the futur or we're all seriously screwed. But hey! Those are just my opinions." before twirling her fingers through her hand again.
After a few seconds of silence and the others trying to get over Layla's little spell of impatience Jane got impatient "Well?! Is that all or is there more?"
"Jane, you must practice patience more." Caius told her and she pouted. I looked back at Layla who was peering off into the forest. She squeezed me hand a bit; telling me to drop my arm without words. I did as I was told and she turned around and kissed my check before running off into the woods.
"Where did she go?!" Jane shrieked. We all turned to Bella but she just shrugged and disappeared into the forest as well.
All of a sudden I heard a loud "Hell Yes!" from my angel from somewhere in the forest before I heard what sounded like a giant bird flying through the forest. I strained to see Bella who was moving at a fast speed towards us.
She suddenly burst from the trees and landed about five feet away from us. The only thing different was a pair of golden wings that attached to her back.
"This is what the mark on our backs meant." She told us simply before turning to Edward and motioning for him to come closer to her. As she tried to get him to let her take him flying while making references to the first time he took her running I couldn't help but wondering; where was Layla?
Just them I felt myself getting lifted off the ground, very forcefully I might add, and into the air by a very giddy Layla. It seems as where Bella thought to ask Edward, Layla just skipped to the part where I gave in and we flew.
On reflex I closed my eyes as I felt my feet leave the ground. I heard a melodic laugh "Open your eyes Pup!" I opened them to see that we were flying just above the tree line but I could tell Layla wanted to go higher however restrained herself for my sake.
After a while we headed back to where the rest of the family was (after Layla attempted to fly full-speed through a thick part of the forest and succeeded in making me scream like Drew did when he drove his bike of the side of a cliff and into the freezing cold water because "he could") and she set me down and I turned so I could fully see her.
She was stunning. Not that she wasn't already it's just the only coherent thought I could form at the moment. Her appearance didn't change except for a pair of midnight blue wings. After I came out of my little trance I took another look around and found that Bella was back with a very excited looking Edward; I think the love for flying was a vampire thing.
"I thought your wings were white and Bella's were blue." I told Layla who simply shrugged. "It just probably something to do with our favorite colors, I know Bella's is gold and mine is blue so…it's probably something to do with that. I really have no idea."
"You two, I'm not saying that it's not a good thing that you have wings now but it's probably going to make it a little harder for you two to blend in don't you think?" came a voice of reason from Felix.
"Felix, if we can bring them out don't you believe we'll have the ability to bring them back in?" Bella said as if she was talking to a three year old.
"Yes Bella, because that statement has no double meaning what so ever." Layla smirked and Bella simply rolled her eyes.
"Either way we're going to have to start wearing clothes that we won't tear to shreds if ever a situation arises that we need to use our wings." Bella responded.
"We just need to wear any shirt with a low back. It doesn't even have to be that low at all just so much that the wing tattoos can be scene, any form of tank top will work." Layla reasoned.
Bella shrugged and Alice squealed again "More things to shop for!"
We all eventually started to head into the house but Layla stopped me for a second and looked at me sadly "You need to go home."
I tensed and looked at her again and she smiled at me reassuringly "You can come back but you need to go to school tomorrow and you need to talk to your pack. Convince your pack and try to convince the elder pack to come and see us if you can."
I know my face looked like a lost puppy's and she kissed me and smiled. "I'll buy you a knew bike." She coxed me. It was a tempting offer and I knew she was right so I crushed her to me. "I'll be right back."
She smiled and I ran to the front of the house to get my bike.

Layla came and sat in the living room with me and Edward and she sunk into a chair. Everyone else was upstairs looking through our stuff and I noticed something was missing: Kyle.
"He went home for a while. Whether I like it or not he has a life." She sighed over dramatically and smiled at us.
We chatted idly for a while about music and books but then suddenly Layla screamed and fell forward clutching the side of her stomach in pain. Everyone ran down stairs and Aro was immediately at Layla's side.
"Layla, what's wrong?" he asked frantically and she screamed again. Suddenly her head snapped up and she stared at me in horror and shock, her eyes were a mixture of shocked silver that slowly bled into an angry grey.
"They're going to kill him!" she screamed and then she was running out of the back but something was different about her run. I tried to fallow her but she was already out the back door and I didn't see her. Instead I saw something else; a large, silver-white wolf running at an impossible speed in the direction of La Push.
I turned to everyone else "Don't follow us, you're not a part of the treaty yet so just stay here!" I screamed and then ran off to follow Layla, hoping we weren't too late. If she lost Kyle…I shuddered to think of the consequences his killers would face.
KPOV
I shrieked to a halt in front of my house. I was scared. In front of me was everyone in both packs; the elders looking mad or regretful and the ones from my pack looking sad.
I got off my bike and walked up to them anyways. My father was fuming.
"What's going on?" I asked, and the other members of my pack looked down in shame.
"You're being relieved of you duties as pack leader and as a member of the pack in general." My father growled out and I was scared again. What had I done?
"On what charges?" I kept my voice calm. I knew that whatever he did to me was going to be ok. Layla wouldn't be mad at me and if I didn't have my pack she was all that mattered to me.
"On the charges that you betrayed us! You went there without our consent and stayed there in a house full of at least a dozen vampires! It's mutiny! You obviously care more about that little vampire whore than you do your own pack!" he screamed at me again.
I felt something inside me snap. No one talk about her that way. "I'm trying to save the pack by making peace with them, which is more than you ever tried to do. I care about my pack enough to go against your wishes to make sure that they're safe! And how dare you talk about her that way!"
"Ha! You're pack? They've already sided with me. They're going to help us kill you because that's where their loyalty lies. You're about to die, Kyle and I hope you love that little whore while you did because you're never going to see her again. If she ever comes here we'll kill her." I growled at him and nearly phased then but I stopping knowing that that wouldn't do me any good.
I saw the elders were ready to attack me now. All of them phasing into werewolves and snarling but I saw hesitation in their actions; I could see in their minds that they were only doing this because my father told them to. I looked in desperation at my pack and saw that their eyes were wide.
"You said that we were just going to chase him out, not that we were going to kill him!" Sarah shrieked in panic.
"Change of plans. Kill him and that's an order!" my father barked at them and was about to phase but saw them all hesitate "Phase! NOW!"
And that's just what they did. They phased but then charged their parents and tackled them to the ground and then ran towards me. One thought running through their minds "RUN!"
I turned, phased and ran. We ran deep into the forest and I could easily feel the elder pack close behind.
"Why? Why did you guys do that?!" I asked.
"Because you're the alpha and you don't deserve to die." Oliver said.
"Yea dude, you were just trying to make peace! You're old man is totally out of line! He's lost it!" Collin snapped out.
"We didn't even want to chase you! We were just going to ask you to leave but we had hoped you father would come to his senses before he made us." Sarah thought in desperation.
"Thanks you guys, but right now….They're going to try to kill us. I'm so sorry." I told them and I felt thoughts of denial in their minds. They didn't think that they other's would actually have it in them to kill them. They didn't know my dad.
Then I felt a blinding pain in my side and I was thrown into a wall of boulders to my right and felt my ribs breaking and I howled out in pain. My father stood over me and snarled before ripping into the flesh on the back of my neck and flinging me into a tree. I didn't try to fight back because I saw that each of my pack was being held down by his or her father and Sampson by his mother.
I howled out as I felt my father's paw on my throat. "Always useless, I bet that little vampire of your wouldn't even want you, I'm saving you the heartbreak of finding out you're worthless to her, you should be thanking me." He told me in my mind and I closed my eyes, I was just going to accept death. He was right; Layla wouldn't want me. I was weak, useless.
I heard my father howl in pain and his paw was removed from my throat and I looked up to see Oliver's jaw latched onto his shoulder. I immediately flung my self up to help him and tackled my father to the ground after he flung Oliver away from him. I barley registered to sounds of brawls as my pack fought to get out the other's hold as I wrestled with my father. I felt as if my side was on fire and smelt the blood coming from the rips in my fur and the broken bones were stabbing my insides.
I heard a howl and turned to see Sampson on the ground by a group of boulders. I was barely conscious but I ripped myself from my father and ran over to protect him when I saw he didn't get up. Blood was gushing from my head now and I was seeing black but I saw the rest of my pack back up next to me as we made a half circle around Sampson to protect him – all in a battered condition as me but none as bad and I was glad none of them were hurt to badly.
We were backed up in a corner and I knew that this was practically hopeless. The elder pack was older and more experienced. My father let out a laugh and got ready to leap at me while the other members of the pack stalked behind him - all weary but I knew they weren't about to help us.
My father leaped and I felt myself spring up to prevent him from getting to the rest of my pack and felt my bones crush as he landed on top of me – crushing me and I could easily hear my bones breaking as my conscious was slipping away.
I heard a beautifully angry growl rip from the air and my father was torn off of me and his presence was replaced my something else on top of me. But this form seemed to be covering me up, guarding me, as snarls ripped from its throat. I could barely register something pure white above me and I suddenly saw two perfectly silver white wings stretch out and seemed to form a shield around my pack.
The last thing I remember seeing was a pair of beautiful, angry grey eyes before my world turned black as I howled in pain and I heard something rip from the figure above me – a howl so full of pain that I wanted to cry but it was so beautiful it somehow game me peace as I slipped away.
BPOV
I ran through the forest as fast I could, fallowing the sent of the wolf that I knew was Layla. I ran deeper and deeper into the forest and knew that we were very far away from La Push.
Thoughts from different people interred my mind and I felt my eyes widen in horror as I saw the battle before my eyes through the past thought of the werewolves. Jacob had told the packs to attack Kyle and the younger pack refused and ran. But the elders had hunted them down and tried to kill them!
I knew I was close as I could smell the blood and here the snarls and howls of the wolves. I heard howls of pain and ran through a break in the trees to see the form of a werewolf on the ground beside a giant group of rocks – his blood smeared on the boulder – surrounded by the rest of the young pack and at the front of the pack was the form that I knew as Kyle. All the wolves had broken bones and blood gushing out of at least one part of their body. Standing above the crumpled form of Kyle was a silver white wolf with a star shape on her forehead with grey eyes. I saw wings shoot out of her shoulder blades as Kyle howled in pain and they seemed to stretch out guard the other members of the pack from the other werewolves who were standing a few feet away.
Layla howled and then a lethal snarl ripped from her throat, and she glared at Jacob as she spoke to me through her mind.
"Bella! Make them leave! I have to save them and I can't do that if the older pack is here! Jacob told them all to kill Kyle! God damned bastard was trying to kill him! You have to make them leave! Do whatever you have to but if I try to do anything I'll kill them and trust me when I say I won't regret it! Make them leave but you can't ask! They won't listen to you so you have to attack them. Please, Bella!" She said in a rush while growling.
I felt myself grow angry at Jacob as I saw his thought process through my mind and snarled at him causing the other pack's attention to be brought to me. I knew they had only been fallowing Jacob's orders, but they tried to kill their own children!
I gathered all the water I could from the atmosphere with my hands and made a wave of water flinging it at them like a giant whip and knocked them back with it before I ran up and began attacking them with multiple whips of water and fighting them off. I ran up to Jacob and scratch my nails into Jacob's face and made four scratches in his face. He glared at me and I punched him back and then doused him with an onslaught of water so strong that he flung back into a tree and I heard bones break. He howled in pain and I saw the others retreat from me and I snarled at Jacob to tell him that I wouldn't hesitate to break more of his bones. He snarled at me before howling to his pack to retreat and they did. I watched them run from me and made sure they were a good distance away before turning back to Layla who was still in wolf form nuzzling Kyle in desperation as if she was begging him to wake up.
I turned and saw the rest of the pack was all trying to wake up the other member of the pack, Sampson. They were all hurt but the worst was Kyle. I heard footsteps come up behind me and saw the rest of the family coming towards us and I smiled and mentally thanked them for not listening to me.
I didn't say anything to them but knew I had to be the one to bark out orders; we need to save these werewolves and they weren't going to last much longer because of blood loss and Layla was shut down again in attempts to keep form running after Jacob and killing him. I knew that she had just experienced the attack from everyone's point of view and was probably livid. I ran over to the pack who backed away from me, I had to reassure them before I had my family carry them back to our mansion.
"You have to trust us, OK? We're going to carry you guys back to our house and we'll take care of you." They all exchanged weary glances but nodded their heads. What did they have to lose? "Thank you, stay in wolf form until I get to you. I'm a healer and I'll be able to take care of you all."
I turned back around "Emmett, Felix, Jasper and Edward, each of you carry one of the wolves and Heidi, you get Sampson – the one on the ground. Make sure to be extra careful and put them each in one our guest rooms." They all nodded and I turned to Layla who growled at me when I tried to touch Kyle "You have to let me touch him if you want me to help him." She nodded but instead of letting one of the other's carry him she hoisted him on her back so he was resting between her wings and began running back to the house with the others. "Carlisle, I'm going to need you help with the four of them who aren't as badly hurt. Layla didn't have that much stable healing power back to begin with and this had made her even less stable. She won't let me touch Kyle and that means her mind is going on instinct right now so she won't lash out and kill the other pack." He nodded and we headed back to the house. The next few hours were going to be hell.
KPOV
I felt a cool sensation in my side and opened my eyes and I thought I was floating in the middle of the night sky, it was black and I saw stars all around me and I turned to see someone with ocean blue eyes staring at me and I smiled.
Then suddenly a pain registered in my brain and I groaned. The pain ripped through my side and I yelped. I saw the girl stand up and a blue haze surrounded my side and it numbed the pain for a moment. I finally registered that I was in Layla's room Then everything came back; my father, the attack, my pack, the white wolf. Layla! I tried to sit up and find her but another pain ripped through my side and I screamed out.
Bella laid me back down on the bed and pinned me down "You have to lie down! You've been out for about two days and you have to stay lying down. I haven't been able to fully heal you all the way yet, for some reason I can't. It's like there's a block on your body that prevents me from healing you like everyone else. You've healed yourself mostly but too many of your ribs were broken at funny angles so we have to keep breaking them and can't put them back correctly." She told me.
"Where's Layla?" I whispered through the pain in my side.
She shook her head "We had to keep her out of the room after we got back. She wouldn't let you go or let us touch you. She's been helping to keep the other pack members stable with her powers. She very unstable right now and can't heal anyone and if she saw you like this she would probably go and kill your father."
"I want to see her." I said simply. I needed to see her. She was to one person who could make all this go away and I knew that. She sighed again "Maybe. I'll go get her and come back when I figure out how to heal you. I think I just need some rest. Are you sure you'll be ok?"
"Please let me see Layla." I begged again and she nodded.
She left the room and I tried to compose my face from the immense pain I was feeling. Then I saw Layla and I felt the pain go away for a moment. She was so beautiful but she looked so sad. She was immediately by my side while laying next to me on the bed and softly wrapping her arms around me and tucking her head in the crook of my neck. Her cold arms on my scorching body felt so good and helped to numb the pain.
"Mine," I muttered weakly but I know I sounded possessive. I thought I had lost her and that had scared me. I knew if I ever lost her…I shuddered at the thought.
She hugged me as tight as she dared and began to kiss me all over my face and pulled away gently ran her finger over a cut I knew would be on my right cheek, I felt my heart pound at the closeness of her face to mine. "I'm so sorry, if I hadn't told you to go back this wouldn't have happened. If only I was faster." She said with a tortured look on her face and gently kissed the cut. I felt a cool sensation come through my cheek and it ran like water down the scratch and it felt better; like it had never been there at all.
She quickly pulled away and looked at my face. "It's gone." She said and sat up next to me and buried her fingers in her hair. I groaned from the loss of cold and she positioned herself so she was lying on my chest but not over any of the broken ribs. She twirled her fingers in her hair more and I just stayed quite. I was content. I knew it would hurt to talk and I was just happy to have her here with me.
Her eyes snapped open and she gently set up and reached to my arm and I winced as she turned it over and the bones shifted. She apologized with her eyes and it was then that I was suddenly aware that all I had on was a pair of boxers and my chest was bare. She looked over my arm and turned it over so she could see the mark on my arm that was identical to the one on her neck – which was visible because of the orange tank-top she wore.
She looked at me. "I think I know why Bella hasn't been able to heal you. It's because of this." I couldn't see but I guessed she was motioning to the mark "I think it was blocking your body from Bella's power because it thought she was trying to hurt you. I think it's manifested of my power and my first reaction when anyone tried to touch you was to hide you from them and I think this mark reacted the same way. It's some of my power stored up in your arm, I believe it's meant to protect you but it's been more focused on protecting you from Bella than healing you."
My eyes widened and I smiled at her lovingly. I wanted to touch her but when I tried to move my arm I felt another one of the bones shift and I howled in pain. She immediately put her cold hand on my forehead to try and comfort me and she stared at me with worried eyes. Did she ever realize how beautiful she was?
"So how can you make it stop trying to protect me?" I asked her and she smiled "When I kissed you, I felt my power react and go to your forehead to heal it but I didn't do it. Let me try something." She gently lifted my arm up and bent down to gently kiss the mark on my upper arm. As soon as her cool lips touched my arm I felt a cool surge wash over my body and I felt it wrap around my bones and painlessly put them back in place as well as wash over the rips in my skin making them seal up and the burning in them fade.
I set up immediately and tackled Layla onto the bed. I don't know what had gotten into me but I kissed her with everything I had, trying to portray to her how much I loved her. Then I remembered what my father said as he was trying to kill me and I knew I was begging her not to leave me for being as worthless as I was.
She suddenly growled and grasped my neck between her hands and kissed me back hard before pulling my face away and looking up at me with fierce eyes. "You are not worthless! I swear it, next time I see that goddamned bastard I'm going to kill him!" she growled at me and crushed our lips together again. It was as if she was demanding me to believe every word with her fierceness and I willing let myself surrender to her words and felt myself smile to her through the kiss.
She pulled away but didn't push me off of her as she spoke to me "You've been asleep for two days. The pack's ok, all fully healed but they can't go back. If it's ok with you we're going to transfer you all out of the school at La Push to Forks High and you're going to stay with for a few months until….until whatever happens next happens. Does that sound good?"
I nodded. It sounded like the safest tactic for now. We couldn't go back to La Push and we couldn't stay out of school for to long or else people would get suspicious. Plus I got to stay with Layla. She smiled "I just told Bella. She's going to decide what to do with the living arrangements. We have to accommodate six werewolves plus eight extra vampires and we only have five extra rooms here."
I nodded, I know I would be staying here with her whether she liked it or not "How's my pack?"
"Sarah's been worried sick about you but she only suffered a couple broken ribs, Collin got a nasty bash across his head and a few cuts but that's all better now. Oliver was pretty much fine, he held his own against Sam for a while so he got off with just a few deep cuts and both of Drew's legs were broken but that was the worst of his injuries. Sampson was the worst beside you. Three of his vertebrae were broken and a bunch of his ribs were fractured along with his left arm. But he's better than ok now." She finished with a smirk on her face and I sensed a double meaning to her words. I couldn't help but scowl when I thought of my pack having any injuries at all. Especially when it was my fault.
"What did he do?" I groaned and she laughed.
"He imprinted on Heidi. A perfect match really. She'll probably give a new meaning to the name 'Dog Tamer'." I laughed at the thought of Sampson being a perfect match for anyone but what I had seen of Heidi I could tell she would keep him on his toes.
I set up on my elbows and looked down at her. "I love you, you know that right." She nodded and leaned up to kiss me gently.
She pulled away and smiled up at me "I think I know what that mark did to me now." I thought back to the white wolf with wings that had protected me from my father. I knew it was Layla and smiled at her. (A/N picture on my profile)
"Yup, and might I say you look stunning as a wolf." I told her and she smiled up at me.
"I think it's ironic. Now I'm the literal and technical version of a bitch!" I laughed at her and she grinned at me.
"I also think it did something to me that let's me feel your pain. I didn't even know anything was wrong until your dad knocked into you and I felt it." She grimaced and looked at me "You know I love you too, you know that right?" I glared at her playfully for mocking me and snarled a bit and she rolled her eyes.
She pushed me off of her and I felt myself scowl as she laid me back on my back. She stuck her tongue out at me "You need to sleep. So sleep." She demanded and I felt myself begin to dream. Damn her! I didn't want to sleep! I heard a distant chuckle and heard the words "Someone's moody."

I heard Layla confirm the plan and looked around the room to everyone "Kyle is awake and somehow healed. Layla said that the mark that was on his arm prevented my powers from touching him and healed him once it confirmed he was safe."
"So you're telling me that thing on his arm has a conscience?" Collin asked and I nodded. It was weird but it wasn't the weirdest thing I've ever come across.
"What the hell is that all about? Is that bitch trying to posses him or something?" Sampson barked and Heidi slapped him over the head and he looked at her with a 'please forgive me' look.
"Whipped" Collin and Drew sang out and Heidi glared at them and they shut up.
"Anyways!" I interrupted and everyone stared at me again "She said that Kyle agrees with the plan so you'll be staying here and going to Forks High with us until further notice. Alice will take you all shopping and get you everything you'll need" I saw her clap from the corned of my eye "And I think it's best if you stay here. Layla and I can cook and we already have food in the house. Plus we have five extra bed rooms so we can accommodate all of you. Would you call mind staying with Carlisle and Carlisle, would you mind housing them?" I asked looking at my fathers and Carlisle in turn.
Carlisle nodded "Esme do we have enough rooms?"
Esme thought for a second "Well, if Felix and Gianna share a room we'll be only two rooms short."
"I can stay here." Heidi offered and I could have sworn Sampson would have been wagging his tail if he was in wolf form.
However this gave me an idea "And the last person can have Edward's room." I offered. Esme didn't even wait for Edward to confirm it before she nodded and everyone who would be staying at the Cullen's were headed out the door. Alice told me she would be here early the next morning to pick the boy's and Sarah up for shopping and Rosalie, Heidi and Jane offered to come as well - a fact at which the werewolves groaned except for Sarah who seemed excited.
After that everyone else headed upstairs to go to sleep considering it was two in the morning. I turned to see Edward was staring me with, slightly stunned and a bit agitated that he was ousted out of his room.
"Where am I supposed to be staying?" He asked and I couldn't help but roll my eyes at his naivety.
"Here" I answered and smiled at him.
Another chapter done! I'm going to try to get the next chapter out faster! I have it planned and don't worry, it focuses more one Edward and Bella than my last chapters have.
Now Remember: I'm not a Jacob hater and he will get better later on in the story!
Review if you have any questions, I will answer then. I love reviews!
