Chapter 9

As soon as my fist connected with Leah's face she morphed into a giant wolf, someone pulled me away just in time for Leah had snapped right where I had been a few seconds before. Suddenly, the space between me and Leah grew for a silver wolf launched himself into Leah and they started fighting.

The room was spinning, fading. My chest ached, blood was staining my shirt. I wasn't sure when I was cut or how bad. I stumbled backwards and my foot got caught on the couch, I fell backwards. My legs felt like lead, they were so heavy. My head weighed a thousand pounds, I had no effort to move, and the wolves were still snarling and snapping at each other. The small gray wolf darted past the bigger sliver one and flew at me. I couldn't even raise my arms to fend off the attack, pain seared through me, the scream pierced ears of those in a one mile radius as the room faded to black.

"She's not a very bright one is she? This is the 3rd werewolf she's hit. You'd think she'd learn." A very unfamiliar voice said, I could hear but I was sure I couldn't open my eyes or speak. Everything was still too heavy. As I lay on the uncomfortable bed, a thousand pounds weighed down on me. I didn't bother to fight it, I was too exhausted. I focused on the conversation.

The sound of a bone crushing washed over me. "Shut the hell up, Brady. Or I'll break more than just your nose." Paul threatened.

"Paul, I'm sure he didn't mean it." Another voice said, while Paul snorted angrily. His breath blew across my face.

"How bad is Leah banged up?" Yet another voice asked. They were all deep, but warming…all except the first.

"I coulda killed her; I think she wanted me too. But you know Leah, always a fighter. I would have killed her if Jake and Seth hadn't pulled me off."

"But, still how bad?"

"Nearly all the bones in her body broken, lost lot of blood. I think I punctured a lung too." Paul replied with no remorse in his voice, it was almost like he thought she deserved it.

"Good thing we heal fast. She woulda died on the way here."

"She would have deserved it. Look at Jacey, look what Leah did to my imprint. She would have deserved to die."

I silently prayed that someone said my injuries; I wanted to know to extent of my damages. I also prayed that someone said something about Layla, where was she? Who was watching her?

"Ahh, good good. She's doing much better. She should wake up soon. Make sure you call when she wakes up, I want to check on her." A velvet voice said gently poking my side.

"Of course, Dr. Cullen." Paul responded immediately, smoothing my hair back. "Will those heal?" he whispered, clearing not wanting anyone else to hear.

"Yes, but they'll scar. Not as deep as Emily's though. Hers will be pretty unnoticeable after a while." Dr. Cullen reassured Paul underneath his breath.

So I had cuts that would scar, but not as bad as this unknown Emily. But how bad is bad? I needed to find out, and for that I had to wake up, back to fighting. With great effort, I managed to open my eyes.

There was Paul staring at my right arm, there was the doctor smiling down at me, I glanced past him. There were 5 huge guys, who deeply resembled Paul, Jake and Seth. All who were present.

"I'm glad your awake, Jacey." The doctor said checking my neck. Every head turned towards me, everyone's face brightened but Paul smiled the brightest and he kissed my hand.

"Glad to be awake." I managed to choke out, my voice raspy.

Paul held a glass of water with a straw to my lips, with intense effort I managed to sallow some water before most of it spilled down my face.

Paul gently laughed as I smiled and looked at him, the plead for information bright in my eyes.

"Layla's at my friend Sam's. His wife is watching her and their son. Needless to say, they are getting along great." Paul answered pointing at the tallest man. "That's Sam."

"Nice to finally meet you Jacey. Sorry it had to be like this though." He said extending his hand, I tried to raise my hand and found I couldn't, I winced.

"Sorry, I can't move." Paul growled at that statement.

Sam looked at his feet uncomfortably, "It's alright. If someone would be so kind to tell me what happened, that'd be great." I asked staring at Paul.

"After you punched Leah she lost control and phased. I phased and fought her back, but she was playing mind games, and in a moment of weakness she darted past me and attacked you. Immediately I attacked back, but then it was too late. I almost killed Leah, while Jake called 911. He and Seth then stepped in and stopped me from finishing what I started. And here we are." Paul explained as he watched my face for reactions.

"So what are my damages?"

A/N: Okay, so I have no idea what Jacey's injuries should consist of, so if someone could help me out then I can update a lot faster. But until then I can't update. Thanks!
