Summary: Emmett disagrees with his family, especially Edward,for leaving a heartbroken Bella behind after her birthday incident, so he decides to return and care for her.
" I wouldn't have left her like you did!"
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight. Stephanie Meyer is the respective owner, I'm just fooling around with the characters.
Emmett swallowed as he held the brunette close to him.
Rosalie would fucking murder him if she knew what just happened.
She had blacked out, but she seemed to be breathing normally, though in a pretty rough position.
There was blood oozing from the back of her head, caking her hair, and streaks that were still wet as they fell from the two punctured holes on the side of her neck near the jugular.
He had followed Bella, curious to see where she would be going, and why- while she was supposed to be in school. He figured it had something to do with the night before- which he had blew off in front of Rosalie when he noticed the reaction he got out of her when he explained their history in Forks, and with the Shapeshifters that took over the La Push reservations long before.
She thought he was gullible, but he proved to be smarter than she thought.
But that didn't get him here quick enough- no- he had arrived when Bella had already been attacked, and drained, almost entirely of her blood.
No, someone else- or something, he should say, beat him to her- saved Bella, and ripped Laurent to shreds. He stood there motionless as he watched the giant beings a couple feet away, circling the vampire corpse on the forest floor after minutes of ripping and gnawing, until finally the bloodcurdling screams had died down, and all that was left were scattered body parts.
The Shapeshifters were back- but then again, it almost seemed as if they had never even left at all.
The russet- furred one, leaped from the group and pawed its way towards Emmett, its eyes narrowed as it gazed into Emmett's deep ones for the first time. It growled under its breath- the look on its eyes murderous, and filled with hatred, but Emmett stood his ground. The nine-foot tall wolf didn't phase him one bit- not even when it had stopped in its tracks merely inches from his face- its stench made even more apparent to his nose.
The vampires eyes narrowed cautiously though, all the same. And he wouldn't hesitate if he had to attack. But he wouldn't- of course not with Bella in his arms.
The wolfs eyes shifted from Emmett's to Bella in his arms every other second, until finally Emmett spoke up.
" She needs to see a doctor." The wolf groaned as its eyes fell on Bella once more, and then Emmett heard a voice from behind it.
" You're not allowed here!" Emmett averted his attention to the group of men now approaching him.
" Yeah? Well as long as Bella is under my protection, I'll be here if I need to be."
They stopped a few feet away, puffing their chests out like they were high and mighty. The wolf trotted into a jog as soon as the leader of the group-one that seemed more muscular than the rest, nodded his head at him. He was the tallest too, with a caramel- colored complexion and deep set eyes. His head tilted up a bit, as if he were the authority, and Emmett restrained himself from snorting.
" Isn't that a little late for you to be sayin', leech?" One of them spoke from the left of him- his lips tugged into an amused, but abhorred smirk. He folded his arms over his chest and cocked his head to the side, waiting for the vampire to reply.
Emmett glared, Bella's head lay limp in his arms. He didn't have time for this.
" Last we heard you Cullens had left for good." The leader spoke, his voice high with authority, but he kept his distance.
" We did, and then I came back." He sneered. " And I'm staying. For good this time."
A few beats, and then the leader spoke up again. " Seth! Get Sue and Leah over here now."
The shorter one, who Emmett figured looked like more of a boy than a man- no older than thirteen- nodded his head immediately, after taking a quick glance at Bella and then him.
" On it." And he jogged past him towards the forest.
" She can get her bandaged up and cleaned, but we'll have to take her. You're going to have to leave-"
He growled. "Her well-being is more important than a treaty that broke the second the bastard you killed crossed your land to look for her. They are going to keep coming now that he's dead too until she's dead. So no, I'm not going anywhere. If anything, I'm going with you. And I'm not leaving her side, not even for a second. You got that?"
The guy that had been glaring at Emmett earlier, stepped forward.
" Watch who you're fucking talking to-" The leader lifted his hand. " Paul, stand down."
" But Sam-"
"-Go back to the house and tell Emily to get a room ready for the girl to rest in." He ordered. Paul opened his mouth to say something- his eyes averting from Sam's to Emmett's angrily. Instead he narrowed his eyes and obeyed. He took off, cursing under his breath, before running into the forest, and disappearing completely.
" Embry, Jared. Start a fire on the other side of the clearing and discard the body." They nodded in unison.
Then another guy appeared from behind them, his eyes locked on Bella, and he walked forward in a hurry, opening his mouth to yell. But before he could get far, Sam, grabbed his shoulder. Jacob, however, shook it off, and huffed- his body shaking, and his jaw clenched as he scowled at Emmett's presence.
" What the hell was that? You leeches just can't give her a fucking break can you-"
"-Jacob, enough. We need to get Bella cleaned up and checked out. That's all that matters right now." He said sternly, locking eyes with Emmett, who held a hard gaze on the both of them. Jacob's words ruffed him up a bit. It was technically his family's fault for getting her involved deeper in their lives, but who was he to blame himself?
It was Edward that had done the most damage.
" Head back to the house, and don't wait up. Both of you, go. " The other one nodded and made his way back. Jacob was the last to obey as he continued to tremble in anger- his eyes never leaving Emmett's until he had passed him, and broke off into a run. Sam was left, his eyes searching Emmett's intently. He walked forward, and didn't stop until he was at arms length of the burly vampire.
Emmett gripped Bella cautiously as he stared silently, his eyebrow raised slightly at how close he had gotten. The Shifter finally leaned forward, cocking his head towards the area behind him.
"We took care of your friend back there, but don't think for a second we won't kill you because she knows you." He said, gesturing to the girl in his arms.
Emmett's eyes narrowed in annoyance.
"You try anything, lay one finger on my family, and I won't hesitate to rip you to shreds myself. "
"I think I've made it pretty damn clear that I'm not a threat to you, so let's cut the crap and get going."
" And don't be so sure you'd get the upper hand." He added, with a smirk. " I don't usually let people get a hold of me that easily."
Author's Note: I'm sensing a bit of tension in the air, are you? Haha, and I know the conversation was long, and that if this were real life Bella would probably be dead, but believe me if this were a movie, the scene would go by a hell of a lot quicker!
So, alright,another chapter done, and I know it was short, but hey, what can you do sometimes?
I wanted to also mention that I have decided that I would make this story a few more chapters long before working on a sequel. I realized that the plot would be a lot longer than I thought and just having it on one story would be too many for me, you know? I hope you guys will read it once I get it started.
I mean, you would have to, if you want to see what happens with everything haha.
Now, on to the praises!
Thank you sooo much for all the alerts, and reviews from VHIM930, Konohashinobi07, Matthias Stormcrow and a guest reviewer( whose review I loved so very much! ^-^) You guys are all amazing, and I still can't believe sometimes how popular this story is getting. It's unbelievable really! You guys are AWESOME.
But also, I recently looked back at all my chapters and noticed typos and grammar errors and I wanted to slap myself. Believe me, I would never publish a chapter so disgraceful, and I don't, I swear! But I've come to realize that with publishing works with , you're gonna have things go wrong with your stuff some way or another, even if it is minor.
They've been messing up with the grammar with my stories for years and it's bugging the hell out of me!
And I'm too damn lazy to go back and fix all of them so, sorry in advance if my stories seem like crap.
Besides all of that, I hope you guys liked the chapter. Next one will be all Bella.( who is a lot easier to do for some reason lol)
Welp, you know what to do. ( After next week, we get one week off for Winter Break! Can't wait!)
Review! :)
