Chapter 46 – All Hell Breaks Loose

Paul's POV

I walked back over to Angela as Jacob began his grovelling. I smiled a little as I saw her. She was glancing from Sam, to Jake and Bella, to me. Her eyes were going in circles around us.

I had screwed up before. I hadn't spoken to her. I'd been miserable all day, thinking about how I'd given up my chance to at least become friends with my imprint. Now, I wouldn't waste my opportunities.

She caught sight of me watching her and gave an awkward smile that made my heart melt. I walked over to her.

"What's going on?" she asked, looking torn between fear and laughter. Her voice was calm and collected. Sweet. Daring me. I took in a breath, feeling her start to wrap me around her finger.

I wanted to tell her the truth. The whole truth, and nothing but. I wouldn't be like Jake. I wouldn't keep things from my imprint. Even if I thought I was protecting her. I glanced at Jacob, still being berrated by Bella. They always found out in the end. I looked back to Angela.

"Basically..." I thought about it. How do you word something like this? How do you bring someone into a world that they've lived in all their life without knowing? I decided blatant honesty was easiest. "Vampires are real, we're werewolves and Eddie and the Cullens are vamps."

There was silence between us. I could hear Jake and Bella arguing in the background. Would that be me and Angela one day? I half hoped so, just because it meant she had stuck around to get to know me.

"... Oh."

I blinked. That was all the response she had? I looked her over, trying to figure out what she was thinking. She was completely unreadable. Blank. I liked it. She was difficult to diagnose and that meant it would be all the funner to mess with her. Her eyes came up to mine. I thought I saw them sparkle.

"So, Jacob's a-"

"Yeah, a wolf boy," I said. I couldn't stop myself. She made me giddy inside. I felt like jumping up and down for joy. We were talking. She was looking at me. She was watching me-

Her gaze shifted away and I turned to see her watching Jake and Bella again. When I turned back to look at her, her gaze was traveling over my stomach, igniting me on fire.

"And you?" she asked. Her eyes settled on mine again and I shivered. She was looking at me in anticipation. She wanted this. I could feel it.

"Also a wolf," I confirmed. Her mouth formed a little 'oh,' even as she nodded a bit. I could see a smile hinting at the corner of her mouth.

"You're all crazy," she said, simply. I laughed. Well, of course. It would take more than my words to convince her that her whole world was now being turned upside down. I opened my mouth to speak-

"Vampires!" I heard someone yell. My head snapped, turning my body around. All I saw was pale marble, all I felt was frigid stone. There were several screams. I was suddenly overcome by the smell of putrid rotting flesh.

I landed on my back, rolling out from under the vampire. Two half breaths later and I was a full blown wolf, shredding my pants and snarling. I landed on my feet and turned on my attacker. He looked like he was only fifteen, maybe sixteen at the most.

Dirty blood red eyes burned into mine as I padded the ground, circling him. He shook his head, knocking his sand colored bangs out of his eyes. He smirked. Did this kid know what he was getting himself into?

I didn't have time to look around. I knew as soon as I removed my gaze from this vamp, he would strike. He had a cowards pose. But his eyes were fierce.

"What's wrong, dog?" he asked. I shuddered. Vampires were hideous creatures. I crouched down a little and dove for him, unable to control my need to tear him limb from limb. He dodged me, easily. Too easily. I flipped around and saw him, his eyes on someone. I followed his gaze and saw it landed on Angela. I snarled.

"I'm so hungry," I heard him whisper. I barked, yelling, freaking out. I felt my heart like a jack hammer against my chest. I lunged for him again, but he lunged first.

For Angela.

I didn't have time to think. I ran another step and then pushed off with my back feet, flying through the air. My mouth opened as I came down on him. I snapped my teeth down on his neck and then ripped away.

I was stepping on the vampires' back, spat his head out. Angela screamed. Her eyes were on me, her hands up to her mouth. I couldn't worry about her reactions now. She needed to get to safety. I jumped around her and put my back to her, stepping in front of her.

I looked around, searching for Jake. All I saw, everywhere I looked, was chaos. Pale leeches, still at least five of them. How had we not noticed them? A group of this magnitude should have caught our attention miles away.

I realized then that we had all been too caught up in Jacob and Bella's fight. My body felt frigid as I thought about it. I had been too wrapped up in Angela, Jacob and Sam had been worried about Bella. The rest of the pack had probably been too riled up, watching them. Damn it!

My eyes still scanning the crowd, it was then that I spotted Jacob, battling the red head.

Jacob's POV

I had looked up at the cliff, catching a whiff of vampire. Before I had been able to make a move, I had seen them, careening down the side of the cliff.

"Vampires!" I yelled, a split second before my body shimmered and changed. They were everywhere. I lunged at the one closest to me. The one who was diving for me. The red head. The most lethal one. She caught me before I caught her, throwing me into the sand.

I rolled so that I landed on my paws, turning on her again. Her eyes flashed dangerously, urging me on. I dove for her again and she dodged. I turned back around but she was one step ahead. Sand flew at my face, several flecks getting into my eye. I yelped out and blinked, forcing my vision to clear. It didn't hurt as much as it made it impossible to see.

In that moment of weakness, she lunged forward. I felt her cold hand take hold of my front leg and she threw me, sending me into the cliff with a yelp. I got to my feet, taking the moment to clear my vision. She was advancing on me again but this time, I was ready. She leapt forward, trying to get behind me. I snapped at her ankle and grabbed on.

She let out a yell of surprise as I threw her into the same cliff I had previously come familiar with. In an instant, she was back on her feet and coming at me. She lunged at me and I slipped under her, turning around before she could. I lunged at her and she ducked.

It was a repetitive process that I felt would never end. She'd dodge, I'd lunge, run, I'd dodge, she'd lunge. She was always one step ahead of me, always playing out my next move. I needed more spontaneity.

Finally, instead of lunging at her, I paused. Her chest was heaving from our fight. I stood my ground, watching her as she watched me.

"I've come to kill your little pet," she said, coyly. I growled, low in my throat. She glanced over her shoulder, then turned back to me, smiling.

"Edward will have all too much fun, ripping her heart out," she said.

I froze.

I had only recognized my attacker. Victoria, the most lethal. I knew there were others, I saw them flying down the cliff. But Edward? No, it was impossible. She watched the confusion fall over my face, and stepped to the side to let me see what she had previously been looking at.

And I saw Edward engaged with Sam in battle. My heart dropped. My focus had been Victoria. Never had I thought Edward would team up with her. Why would she agree? Bella had told me he was the whole reason Victoria wanted her dead in the first place! It didn't make sense!

I was caught off guard when the leech lunged at me, sweeping me off my paws. I landed on the ground in a heap, the air flying from my lungs. With trouble I got up, feeling weary.

Two of them. Two maniacs, psychos. How could we bring them both down? And Edward... I needed to kill him. If anything else, he needed to die. I couldn't be over here, battling this bitch.

I made a run for Sam and Edward. But I felt a harsh yank on my tail, making me fly backwards.

"I'm going to break every one of your limbs, then make you watch him kill her!" she screamed as I got on four legs again. My head snapped to look at her, my eyes boiling. My blood, boiling. Everything, I couldn't focus.

I won't let you hurt her! I yelled in my head, standing my ground. She grinned, watching me.

"Limb one," she said and ran towards me. I did the same, but she faked me out, dodging one way and going another. She grabbed my left foreleg in the process and flew around me, landing on my back.

Wolves arms don't bend backwards.

I let out a desperate howl of pain and crumpled to the ground as she let go of my arm and flipped off of me. I strained, stumbling to my feet. I could only see a flash of red hair as she grabbed my other leg. She was going to tear me apart.

Jake, move! She's going to kill you! Seth's voice cried in my head.

The presence of another person in my head shocked me. I had forgotten all about my family. My pack members. I shifted, trying to get out of the witches' grab but only made her stumble. She grabbed hold of my right foreleg.

And then she was gone. I turned around, stepping on my one broken limb gingerly. Hot pain shot up everytime I put pressure on it. Seth had gotten Victoria at her forearm, mauling furiously but not accomplishing much. No time to think. I lunged forward with all four legs as she broke free of him, howling in pain as my left foreleg took the strain. Her eyes flashed to me and I saw fear. That look made the pain worth it.

That's right. Fear us, I whispered in my head, biting down on her leg. But before I knew it, she brought her hands down on the back of my neck, striking my spine and making me release her. I spun around to get her again but now there was someone else.

Victoria slipped away as a black haired woman stepped forward. Her crimson eyes and pale skin contrasted each other recklessly. She lunged forward before I could notice anything else. She went for Seth.

Sam's POV

I shifted my shoulders as I stared Edward down. We both lunged at the same time. I emitted a loud growl, a bark, scrambling to get at him. We hit in midair. He wrapped an arm around my neck but was flying at too fast a speed to keep hold. He flew off me, skidding to the ground.

I flipped around and so did he, landing on his feet. He grinned as he watched me, his eyes flashing like stars. He was enjoying this. He was loving every second of it. I had seen Edward several times, especially when we had all been going through the Jacob Edward Bella triangle. I had never guessed he'd become like this.

"Stop psychoanalyzing me and attack, alpha," he spat. He was bouncing on his heels, itching for a fight.

Edward, we don't have to do this, I thought. As the leader, my first duty was to avoid my packbrother's blood being shed.

"Shut up, Sam," he gritted, lunging at me. I dodged to the left and snapped after his ankles. He jumped up as I lunged forward and he came down on my shoulder, pressing down on it hard with his heel. I barked fiercely and shook him off, relieving the pressure and turning back to face him. He was watching me again.

"Give me Bella and this will all end," he said. His eyes were red. So red.

Never. She doesn't want to be with you. She's afraid of you. And what do you think she'll see in you now? I asked.

His response was an attack. I snarled and lunged at him. To hesitate would mean death. This leech was fast. He went under, I went over. We skidded past each other and then ran back, face to face, hand to claws. I thought I got his shoulder twice. He'd gotten my eye twice. It bled, blurring my vision. But I would not let my packbrothers down. My first duty was to save them bloodshed. My second, to slaughter all who would harm them.

On the next lunge, I finally got a break. I hit him hard, and then we both hit the ground harder. Rolling, tearing, bleeding, we fought ourselves into the ground. Finally, I pinned him beneath me, my teeth poised above his neck.

Stop this! I roared deep into his mind. His eyes never left mine as I watched him. I was heaving, out of breath. But it would only take one small movement to end his life. To rip off his head and toss it in the fire.

There was an ear splitting scream. I looked over to my right and so did Edward. I scanned the area, saw my pack mates. Saw Jacob frozen with another vampire and Seth. I followed his gaze and understood then why Edward hadn't over powered me in my moment of distraction.

Bella.

Victoria's POV

Things were going downhill fast. Even as I left Rina to fight Jacob and the small wolf, I knew we wouldn't kill all the wolves. I ran across the beach, sand flying in my tracks. We only had three other vampires left. Edward was still engaged with Sam. The mutt was stronger than we'd anticipated.

My eyes finally landed on my target. She was running, running for the cliffs. I stifled a laugh. Too easy.

In two seconds, I caught her around the waist and threw her back towards the fire pit. There was a sputter, a small cry. I walked towards her as she rolled over. She looked up and saw me. Her mouth didn't seem to be working. She looked like a fish out of water.

She started backwards, scrambling on her butt and hands. I took several steps towards her, enjoying her fear. Prolonging it.

"Please, d-don't," she begged. I laughed out loud.

"You broke Edward's heart... You will die," I seethed.

"You hated him! He killed James!" she yelled. I tossed my head back and laughed at how she would turn me against him to save her puny life. In that moment, she had gotten to her feet and started running for the bon fire. I appeared at her side and grabbed her shoulder, sending her to the ground on her knees. A light touch, but not for a human.

"James was nothing compared to Edward. You wouldn't know," I said, leaning down by her ear. I breathed in and smelled the life coursing through her. I made sure my cool lips brushed her ear as I spoke. "You've never fucked him." A wide, easy grin spread across my lips as my words slid into her like a dagger. Her expression was priceless.

I brought my foot down on her leg, breaking it at her calf. Light touches. She screamed and I looked around in pleasure, to make sure I'd gotten everyone's attention. I slid my hand into her hair and yanked her head back. I could practically feel her taut hair straining her tender scalp. I slid my other hand to the front of her chin and grabbed hold, ready to snap her neck.

I looked up to find Edward, pinned beneath Sam. His eyes were wide. In my mind I begged him for his forgiveness. I would kill his witch. He wouldn't get the joy of doing it, but it was better than us all dying and her living on. Once again, I felt a grin spread over my lips.

"This is for you, baby," I said.

A/N : Oh dear... What's going to happen? How crazy are you guys going with these cliffies? Trust me, they're totally worth it! You'll love what's to come! I'm so excited to see your guys' responses!

We're almost at the end, let's do this!
