Jacob

I looked at Bella for a split second, then lunged towards her for a hug. When my arms went around her, small frail

body, she whimpered. I pulled away, then looked at her carefully. She had her arm wrapped around her torso. A

faint smell of blood came from her body. She pulled up her shirt a little, deep wounds, slashes, and stab marks, only

faint blood though. The sight made me sick, and I lifted her slowly from her bed. She whimpered, then began

shaking.

"Jake, it hurts. Take me to the nurse. Go down the stairs, then go left. All the way at the end of the hall, next to the

office." She commanded. I nodded. I looked down at her, she had fallen unconscious again, but seemed to be okay

still. People in the halls watched me, looking curious. Some people seemed alarmed, others seemed happy.

Especially one girl, she looked like her day had just been made. When I walked by her, a low growl came from my

throat. She chuckled and walked away. The nurse could smell the blood, and met me at the door.

"What are you doing here?" She asked. Her face was rather round, and chubby. She looked somewhat like a pig,

kind of animal-like. If she could help, then I would tell her anything she needed to know.

"I came to visit Bella, and found her like this. She has some pretty bad wounds." I said hastily. She looked down, for

the first time at Bella. Then nodded. She pointed towards a hospital bed, and I carefully laid Bella down.

The nurse slowly lifted Bella's shirt a little, then stepped away to examine . Those are bite, and claw marks.

Something doesn't like her. I have no clue what it is. I can stitch her up, and give her something for the pain. As far

as an explanation, I can't help you much. It is a pretty good-sized animal, not found in the human world."

I said nothing, how could I ? She started cleaning the wounds, and sterilizing bandages. Then got out a needle, and

began stitching her up. I held her hand, and watched the little needle intricately go back and forth. There was a

total of five bad wounds, and several smaller scratches. After she got her all stitched up, she wrapped bandages all

around her torso.

"She needs to stay in here tonight. No exceptions." the woman said. I nodded, then sat down. She stood staring at

me, tapping her foot. She looked expectant. Her eyes piercing, but kind.

"I'm not leaving, no." I said persistently. She nodded and turned around. I sat there by the side of her bed,

watching her. Then she started screaming, I put my arm around her, and held her close. I couldn't really do anything

about it. This was something much bigger than me.
