This is truly the turning point of the story. Hope you guys enjoy it!
Don't own Twilight.
The red head looked shocked, briefly, that I was here then wiped it off of her face as soon as it came. She smirked looking over all three of us. I growled louder, only quieting down when a small hand was on the small of my back. I could feel her hand shaking. It pissed me off that she had to be in so much fear, that she had to face this head on. Dammit, it wasn't supposed to be this way!
Seth, I need you to move closer to us. I need you to surprise the other leech that came. Wait for me to say. Leah would bite my head off later for putting her little brother in danger but I knew he could handle it. Hell, I hoped he could. I doubted I could keep him out of this even if I tried. I could still see the others in my head taking out the newborns. It looked hectic but no one was hurt – yet.
Hell Paul, I'm already near by. No way was I going to just stand by and listen. The boy had more balls than anyone ever gave him credit for.
"You know it doesn't matter how many of you are standing in front of that girl, her blood is still mine." The red head snarled.
I bared my teeth. Fuck no she wasn't. Edward stayed calm though I swore I could feel the anxiety of the situation rolling off of him.
"Riley? She doesn't love you. You were created, you all were created to revenge her mate James."
Cullen had some mind tricks. "You're wrong." Even the poor bloodsuckers voice didn't sound convincing.
Victoria looked to him and shook her head. "Remember what I told you about their tricks." She pleaded.
He turned his head back onto us and gave us a feral smile. Well fuck Edward and his mind tricks, he sucked at them. It was obvious he was about to attack. NOW SETH! I yelled. Seconds later he lept out and was on top of the unsuspecting victim. He screamed as an arm went flying across us.
"VICTORIA!" He screamed. Victoria, of course, just stood there looking at him before she went to take off.
"Victoria! Let's end this! You want me to feel your pain. Make me feel how you felt when I tore apart James." He yelled out, taking a step forward.
She turned around, upper lip curled up showing off her teeth as she let out a high pitched hiss if that were even fucking possible. I tensed, waiting. I didn't have to wait long, Edward went charging just as she did. The two collided, it sounding like a large crack of thunder echoing through out the mountains.
I growled, pacing but never keeping my eyes off of them. I didn't want to leave Bella vulnerable. But one second Edward had it and then the next second he didn't. He was missing a hand and she was about to rip his head off. Bella was damn near crying, yelling out. I jumped, right before she could tear it from his body, knocking her off of him. She shoved me off of her and into a boulder.
"PAUL!" Bella screamed, panicked. It felt like one of my ribs cracked again but the adrenaline rushing through my veins made me forget about it right after it had happened.
I waited for my next opening to get rid of her filthy fucking excuse for walking this Earth. It seemed as if she thought she hurt me more than she had, knocking me out of the fight. Stupid leech. She was focused solely on Edward. How the fuck did he keep getting himself into a headlock with this bitch? He had me pretty good weeks ago and now he was about to lose his head, again. I was about to jump before I smelled the scent of blood. Ugh, hell no.
Two hisses of vampires and both of their heads snapping their way. I wanted to face smack myself. Was she stupid? I growled, jumping in front of her just in time. God Dammit he was fucking worthless right now. The thought that I could probably end them both crossed my mind, but the thought of hurting Bella more was over riding. She would never forgive me, even if his eyes were pitch as black, just like the red heads. A little help over here! I screamed in my head.
Luckily the other leach didn't kill Seth as he jumped out behind a boulder like a jack in the box tackling Edward to the ground. I lunged and did the same to the red head since she was so focused on the scent of her blood. Was Bella's blood just like fucking gold to vampires or what? She tried to put up a fight, hissing and biting me, but I already had her pinned. I ripped her head clean off of her body with my teeth. I couldn't stop just at the head. No. Her arms were next ripped off, then her legs. I stood back, nothing moving from any of her limbs, and was finally satisfied.
I turned to look that Seth had Edward under control. Bella was kneeling in the snow, her own blood staining the white. I phased as quickly as I could calm myself down enough and slipped on my shorts, running over to her. "Dammit Bella. That was the most stupid of stupid of fucking stupid of moves." I said, trying my best not to raise my voice at her, trying my best to hide the fear I was feeling minutes before. I ripped some material off of the bottom of her shirt off, ripping it in half, then tying one around each of her bleeding wrists.
"She was going to kill both of you, I had to do something. It was the only way to get her attention." She looked over at Edward, as if not believing that he almost killed her as well. I rolled my eyes.
"Seth, is everything okay down there?" I asked. He just nodded his big furry head. I nodded, turning back to Bella and wincing as a pain shot through my mid section. Yep, cracked definitely. Oh well, I had worse.
Bella reached out to touch my arm. I caught her gaze, instantly locked in her deep brown eyes. "Thank you." She whispered. "Are you hurt?" She sounded pained as she asked.
I was about to say something when I could smell Edward getting closer. I tensed and shoved Bella behind me in one quick movement. I didn't relax even when I noticed his eyes had returned to the golden color they were normally, well almost. I reached behind me to keep a hand on Bella so I didn't do anything I regretted. Luckily she allowed it.
"Bella...I'm so sorry." He pleaded, looking around me and at her. My wolf was taking over. It didn't matter I knew she wasn't mine, but to the wolf in me she was. The growls wracking my body got louder. He looked at me surprised and I tensed more, stepping forward. I saw him as nothing but a threat at this point. He tried to fucking eat my Isabella for a snack.
"It's okay...I always knew it was a risk...I knew it was always your main food source just I..." She sighed, putting her other hand on my arm that was gripping onto her and she squeezed gently. I could practically feel the fear rolling off of her. If possible I tensed further.
No doubt it was from me getting possessive but I didn't give a damn. He was a danger to her. I knew that before but even with him not hunting humans the urge was obviously still too powerful over a little spilled blood. "Leave." I said sternly, my teeth bared and grounded together.
He must have known he didn't have a fight here, right now, not with Bella behind me and not willing to step towards him. He turned. A little tension left my body. Then the mother fucker spoke at the same time Seth let out a huge whine. "Jacobs hurt. The Volturi are coming. We have to go, you need to get Bella out of here quick before they find her." He said quietly before he disappeared. Who the fuck was the Volturi? And what the fuck Jacob? He was the rightful Alpha even if he didn't take it and he was going around getting himself hurt.
Bella was starting to shake harder and I jerked around, gripping both of her shoulders. "Bella, I need you to calm down." Her freaking out right now was not going to be well for me either. "Everythings alright. We all heal quick, he's probably fine." Of course I didn't know that for sure but I needed to soothe her as much as I could right now. He better not fucking die.
Seth whined again, nudging me in the side. I hissed, remembering my own injury. He jumped back as I turned to him. "Go help. We'll be at Billy's house waiting." He nodded once and took off. "Bella I'm going to phase so we can get off of this damn mountain faster. Just hold on tight to me and duck down as much as you can, okay?"
She nodded. "Paul, we have to go. If the Volturi find out I know about vampires they'll kill me or turn me. And Jacob, oh god. And you're hurt. Are you okay?" Tears were falling from her cheeks as she looked up into my eyes. "It's like I can feel it." She touched her left side. "I'm so sorry!"
I growled and gripped her shoulders again, shaking her gently or what I hoped was at least gently. "ISABELLA! Stop! I am fine! A broken rib probably, which will be fine by tomorrow." I knew it would probably have to be re broken since I broke it as my wolf and was standing on two legs again. "The Vol-what the fuck ever are not going to get you, they'll have to get through me and the pack first. But to ensure your safety and to check on Jacob we HAVE to get off of this damned mountain."
She just nodded at my words, letting out quiet sobs. Those sobs tugged at my heart so damn hard. I sighed then stepped back several feet before I phased back into my wolf. I almost fell down at first as the pain in my left side hit me again but quickly recovered. I went up next to Bella, knelt down, and as soon as she was secure I took off running. This time I didn't hold anything back and I sure as fuck focused so she didn't fly off. There were no shrills of joy this time, only the quiet crying and salty tears hitting my fur and soaking into my skin. I wanted to cry right along with her, but could I even cry as a wolf? Even if I could it would just blur my vision and we'd hit a damn tree.
