Hey Guys, I would like to apologise for not posting sooner. I have been so sick the past couple of weeks, and am on the mend, and then as I started to type, our computer decided it wanted to die so we had to get it all fixed, but I'm back and should be posting again like normal
I do not own Twilight, it all belongs to Stephanie Meyers.
Bella's POV
Paul was just was fast as Sam. I held on tight to Emily. I found that we were both shivering. I wasn't sure where we had been, or how far away we were. Travelling by wolf was no time, was they were able to cut through so much forest. I did know that we were no in Fork's. I can't honestly remember the first signs we were back. All I knew was that I was freezing, and so was Emily. My jaw was chattering when I heard the first howl. I watched as wolves began to appear Paul slowed down, as the wolf I'd been looking for appeared.
"Sam!" I shouted, as Paul stopped. Edward stood close, holding onto Mr Morgan. Sam walked down, his eyes were ice, staring at my kidnapper. I jumped from Paul, running in front of Sam.
"Sam, no!" I said to him. He looked at me, stepping to me, rubbing his head against me. I wrapped my arms around his neck.
"I know…" I whispered. I slowly let go of him.
"We can't kill him yet Sam… he knows important information. He is better to be handed to Carlisle. They will know how to extract the information. It's vital, I promise." I said looking into his eyes.
"What's going on?!" I heard Emily say as the silver wolf whined at her. I watched as Seth joined his sister, pawing at their cousin.
"Emily, that's Leah and Seth. They are worried about you." I answered. Leah looked at me, than turned to her cousin. I watched Seth place his head on Emily. I turned to Sam.
"Shall we get to the Cullen's?" I asked. He dropped down. I smiled, climbing onto his back. I sat so much easier on him than I had Paul's. It was just another part of us that fit so perfectly. I looked at Emily, who was looking nervous about being on Paul.
"Paul, she has a broken wrist, go easy." I ordered. The wolf gave a swift nod. Sam was easy to hold on to. His movements were easy for me to predict. I smiled as he glided through the forests with ease. I watched as Emmett and Jasper fell into line beside Edward, as we all escorted Mr Morgan. Alice, Rose, Esme and Carlisle all stood waiting for us at the field. I slid off of Sam, as Alice held out a jacket.
"Oh Alice, I sometimes think you are an angel!" I said taking one, pulling it on. Esme approached Paul, holding out a jacket to Emily who took it gracefully.
"Thankyou." She said to her.
"Carlisle, Emily is hurt. She will need medical assistance." I said to him. He gave a nod. Leah strode forward towards me.
"Leah, Carlisle is an amazing doctor. He will be able to assist her, and he won't need the questions others will." I stated simply. The wolf glared lightly at me, but didn't seem to want to fight with me. Mr Morgan coward as Emmett took his from Edward.
"What do you wish us to do with this Bella?" Emmett asked looking at Mr Morgan in disgust.
"He has information. Do not kill him, as that right I reserve for Sam." I said facing the black wolf.
"Emmett, Edward, take him, you know where to put him, and do not take your eyes off him." Esme ordered her sons. I watched as Jasper followed the other two boys, as they dragged the man.
"I think it is time for you to return home Bella. Charlie has been panicked." Carlisle said softly. I smiled and nodded. Carlisle walked forwards.
"I shall take Emily to the hospital. If one of your members would like to join, they are quite welcome." He offered to Sam. I watched Sam for a moment as he turned to Paul. Paul strode forward with Emily. Leah let out a small whine, along with Seth. I looked at them.
"You may meet Carlisle as the hospital." I said to them. They both took off towards the forest.
Emily, Paul and Carlisle all left together, with Esme, Rose and Alice. I looked at what was left to the pack, and looked at Jacob.
"You and I are still to have a long talk Jacob Ephraim Black." I grouched at him. He walked over and dropped low, softly wagging his tail. I smiled softly shaking my head. I looked at Sam.
"Take me home?" I asked. Sam dropped next to me, allowing me onto his back. I smiled, taking hold of his fur, thankful as we made our way towards the reservation.
Sam's POV
Bella held on tight as I took her home. My pack stayed to my flank, as we took to the forest as we did every day. I had been thankful as Paul called to me, saying Edward and he had found Bella, and to our surprise, Emily as well. Leah had been beside herself, as had Seth. They had wanted to join Paul, but I had said no. We were not to abandon our tribe, no matter how desperate we had been. It had been hard enough to convince Old Quil and Billy to agree for Paul to leave. Had it not been for Billy's love for Charlie and Bella, I doubt they would have permitted it. I knew Billy would do anything to ensure Bella's return. He's only ruling had been, I was not to be the one that went looking, and neither was Jacob. Jared had said, he did not wish to go searching, for fear of leaving Kim. My next option fell to Paul. He cared for Bella, and I knew I could trust him not to break our treaty. As it was, I had to receive limited permission for Cullen to be allowed to pass through our side of the land if he was to return with the kidnapper and Bella.
I could smell home, as usual, before I could see it. Charlie's patrol car was out the front. I looked at my pack.
"Head home, Embry, Collin and Brady, I want you all on patrol tonight." I ordered. They all took off in different directions. Bella held on as I came to our house. She slid off, still shivering, even with the jacket on that Alice had given her. I phased, as she stood looking at me. Her arms were instantly around me, my lips capturing hers the moment I could reach her.
"Bella, we need to get you inside, bathed and in bed." I said thinking about how much her being kidnapped could cause her to stress. She shook her head.
"Right now, I need you in my arms, and don't even think about letting go." She reprimanded me. I smiled gently, as she tightened her grip.
"Then we should at least go let Charlie know you are safe." I said to her. She slowly let go, looking up at the house. We walked up, walking straight inside. Charlie was at the table. He looked up at the slightest sound.
"Bella!" He stood, rushing forward, pulling his daughter into him.
"Oh thank god." He said kissing the top of her head.
"I'm okay dad." She reassured.
"What happened? Who took you? Where did they take you? Why did they take you?" These were just a few of the questions Charlie Swan began asking her. She shook her head looking at him.
"Dad, I am really wet, and cold, and am in need for a long shower and a long sleep. I will answer any questions I can tomorrow, but for now, I am wrecked." She said to him. He nodded, letting go.
"Of course sweetie, go shower, and sleep. I will see you in the morning." He said to her. I watched my queen walk away. I looked at Charlie.
"We have a spare room upstairs if you want?" I asked. He nodded.
"Thankyou Sam… for everything… I don't know how I would survive without her." He said softly. I gave a small smile.
"Me either Charlie." He gave me a slap on the back as we made our way up stairs. He took the first spare room, closing the door. I walked into the bathroom, smiling, at Bella. She had her back to me, and was washing thoroughly.
"Bella?" I called softly. She turned, facing me. Her eyes were blood shot, which told me she'd been crying.
"Are you okay?" I asked softly, concerned something was wrong. She nodded.
"Sorry, I'm just thankful I was found, and that I am home." I quickly stripped off the pants I had on, and stepped into the hot water.
"Sam, she wants me dead so badly… and our baby…" She said touching her stomach.
"I was so scared Sam… the thought of our child being killed, it broke my heart at the thought. How many more are out there that she can order about? I didn't even know Mr Morgan was a vampire!" She seemed annoyed at herself. I pulled her into me.
"Bella, stop, it's okay. You and our child are safe, and I promise, that was her last chance. You are now under constant vigilance. This means, if you need to go somewhere, one of the boys or Leah goes with. If I am heading out, it means they are to come here. I was an idiot to think you were safe to go to that testing. I should have had my wolves with you. I will not make that mistake again." He promised. I hugged him tightly.
"I love you Sam Uley." She said closing her eyes, holding me tight.
"And I love you Bella. I promise, I will kill Victoria personally, and she will never harm you again." I promised. Bella's lips were to mine, and I could feel the strong desire and love she craved. I smiled softly, scooping her into my arms. Tonight, I would help her forget her troubles. It was amazing how therapeutic love making could be. It could make a person forget their worries, even if it was just for that small amount of time.
Bella's POV
Charlie had tried to question me all morning.
"Dad, I understand you wish to know where Mr Morgan is, but I cannot tell you. You can't arrest him, as he is different. He is with ones that can cause him harm. If you were faced off with him, I doubt you'd survive." I tried to explain, but he was so annoyed, he wanted to seek his own justice.
"Bella, I am the chief." He argued. I rolled my eyes, shoving away the rest of my morning cereal.
"Dad, just do me a favour, and drop it. I have had enough to worry about, and I know he is being personally taken care of. Now, please, go home and get ready for work. I am fine!" I said irritated.
"Yeah she is." Came Jacob's voice. I smiled as he walked in.
"How are you this morning Angel?" He asked me. I shot him an annoyed look.
"Bell's, you know I am just worried." Charlie said to me. I let out a sigh, giving him a gentle look.
"Sorry, I know, but I promise everything is handled." I hugged him lightly.
"Alright, well I better get going. I love you Bell's." He said pecking the top of my head. I smiled.
"I love you too." I watched him get in the car. Jacob was smiling at me as he drove away. I shook my head at him.
"You are an idiot." I said smiling back.
"Yes, but if you do something well, why stop?" He asked, causing me to laugh at him as we walked inside.
The scene in my kitchen was tense. All wolves were present, with Sam peering at all of them.
"Victoria is to die!" Leah snarled. I looked at her, her eyes falling on me. She gave a small nod to me, taking me by surprise.
"Victoria is our prime target, but any leech, other then the Cullen's are to be killed and destroyed. At the moment, Leah and Seth's cousin is with them. She is fairly scared about all this new information. I am ordering you all, to tolerate the Cullen's for the time being. They are offering willingly to help us destroy their own kind. I spoke to Carlisle this morning, Bella, Leah and I will be with them to discuss a few things. I want all of you, panned out, and searching for any signs. The Cullen's believe the army will be arriving in the next day. We heard what they are and their strength. I will not allow one to live!" He said to them. He looked at Seth, Collin and Brady.
"You three are solely responsible to protect the village. I cannot allow you to participate with this fight. Seth, you are in charge of the younger two. I want you all to stay together. If one of you were caught alone… I don't want you hurt." He said to the three. Brady took it well, but Collin appeared annoyed, shooting looks at Seth.
"Is there a problem Collin?" I asked. Everyone looked at Collin. He looked at me a little surprised.
"No, sorry." He said quickly looking down. Sam turned to them all again.
"Everyone else, team up in twos. " He ordered. I watched as they all began to walk out.
"Bella, can I speak to you?" Leah said quickly. I looked at her a little shocked but nodded. Everyone left us alone. She looked a little down, avoiding my eyes.
"Bella, I just wanted to say sorry… for how I have treated you. If it wasn't for you, I don't think Emily would be alive." She said softly. I could tell she was uncomfortable. I smiled softly.
"It's fine Leah. It's the past." I smiled at her, which she managed to somewhat return. She looked at the wolves now outside.
"We better get going." She walked out quickly, avoiding my eyes.
I held onto Sam as he ran towards the Cullen's with Leah close behind. I smiled, hoping that I would be able to somewhat have a relationship with her, with how I was sure Charlie was feeling about her mother.
As we arrived at the Cullen's, we were greeted by Alice and Jasper.
"Come in." Alice said to Sam and Leah, as she stepped from the tight hug she had welcomed me with. As I walked in, I wasn't used to the looks on the other Cullen's face. Emmett seemed highly irritable, Esme seemed sad. Rosalie was holding tightly onto Emmett. I looked at Esme as she walked over, softly hugging me, and welcoming Sam and Leah.
"Where is he?" Sam asked. I looked at him, wondering if he was asking about Mr Morgan or Carlisle.
"Waiting for you. Alice will take you." She said looking at her adopted daughter. Alice nodded.
"Where's Emily?" Leah asked. It wasn't exactly polite but I thought she'd managed some sort of tone that resembled understanding and not hate.
"I will take you too her." Esme answered. I sat down, not following, wanting to give Leah and Emily time alone. I looked at Rose and Emmett, as Jasper joined them.
"Are you all okay?" I asked. I was used to Rose ignoring me and being annoyed, so I wasn't expecting her to answer.
"It's been a long night." She said simply. I wasn't sure how to really take that.
"Can I ask?" I asked. Emmett looked at me and nodded.
"Edward and Carlisle have been…. Interviewing your principle." He said pausing before interviewing. I bit my lip, hoping Edward and Carlisle were okay.
"Let's just say, we can all smell the vermin's blood." Jasper said uncomfortably. I looked at Rose who's eyes were lingering on my stomach.
"I am really happy for you Bella." Rose said to me. I smiled softly touching my stomach. I couldn't wait for it to start rounding.
I looked up as Esme joined us, with Emily and Leah walking out.
"Bella!" Emily said smiling. I stood as she pulled me into a hug.
"How are you?" I asked her. She held out her cast.
"Is everything else okay?" I asked. She nodded.
"Carlisle is an amazing doctor. He says it should heal fine." She said to me smiling gently.
"Can I get you all a drink?" Esme asked us.
"Please, thankyou Esme." Emily said to her.
"Yes, thankyou." I said as Emily sat with Leah right beside her. I smiled at the bond the two shared.
"It was quite a shock, as I am sure you yourself received to find out all those children stories of werewolves and vampires are all true." Emily said smiling as she took a glass of juice from Esme.
"But, I find I am rather happy to know. I like both types, and the Cullen's have been very kind, letting me stay here." She said sipping her drink.
"Yes, I find I like them both too. It is a little strange, knowing things others don't, but I think it kind of makes it even more special. Though do not get me wrong, it gets hard, keeping secrets from everyone, and never letting anything strange happen around anyone." I said smiling at Esme as I took my drink.
"Bella." Came Edwards voice. I looked up to see his shirt smeared in blood. His eyes seemed a little lost and a lot more painful than they usually were. He seemed to mirror half the pain that Jasper used to appear with when I was around him.
"Edward, are you okay?" I asked a little worried. He gave a nod.
"Taking care of your kidnapper. We have retrieved a good amount of information. It was very smart to have him questioned rather then killed on the spot." He said looking me over. He looked to Esme.
"I'm going to clean up. Carlisle should be here shortly also. I suspect Sam will wish for Bella, Leah and Emily to join them all down stairs when we're all refreshed." He said to her. Esme gave a carrying smile at him.
"Go clean up." She said mother like. I smiled loving the bond they all seemed to share.
Edward was right, Sam came up not long after Edward, taking me into his arms softly.
"Bella, I want you, Leah and Emily to follow us to Morgan's. We have gotten all the information we can from him." He said to me. I nodded, not wanting to think about what state the vampire would be in. I knew part of me was scared of him, and what he could have done with my unborn child. Then there was the fact he had wanted to give me to Victoria. I looked at Emily, who seemed to have paled at the mention of Morgan's.
"Do I have to go down there?" She asked biting her bottom lip. Sam looked at her.
"I will not force it." He said softly. Leah tightened her hug on Emily.
"It's okay Em, I'll stand in your place." She said caringly. Emily nodded, no longer talking but cradling her injured arm.
"Leah, why don't you take Emily back to her room." Esme said soothingly. Leah looked at her cousin then gave a small nod.
"Come on Emily, I think you should rest some more." Leah said taking her uninjured arm, and helping her to her feet.
"Bye Bella." Emily called to me as she was lead away. I looked at the Cullen's.
"How bad is it going to be down there?" I asked, aiming my question at Jasper. He would be honest with me.
"Fairly bad. He's been bitten and tortured to the point of hunger. He is in a wild state, and your blood will cause a burn like no others. Just keep your distance." Jasper answered.
I walked with Sam, who was following Carlisle and Edward down to a cellers I wasn't even aware had existed on the house. Leah followed me close behind. My heart was thumping in fear with every step closer I took. I knew I was safe, but it didn't change the feeling, that I was putting myself and my child in danger. I clutched on tightly to Sam's hand, trying hard to concentrate on my breathing. I could hear him yelling and shouting and his voice made vile rise in my throat. I hated this man, and there was nothing the Cullen's could have done that seemed good enough.
