I do not own Twilight, it all belongs to Stephanie Meyers
Sam's POV
I watched, holding Bella close, as Edward and Emmett ripped apart the vampire. His screams were a lullaby to my ears. My inner wolf was wishing to have the honours, but Bella was right, it was easier for Edward and Emmett to kill him, then phasing. I watched as they set alight his remains. We'd found out that Victoria had a large army, ready to attack first thing tomorrow morning. They would attack the tribe if they believed that was where Bella was. I looked at Bella as she faced away from the burning corpse.
"Bella?" I said a little concerned. She looked at me, than turned, walking out of the cells. The set up the Cullen's had was pretty medieval. There were chains bolted into the walls; chains draping from the ceiling. No vampire or human would be able to escape unless let out. It made me thankful that they were vegetarians; no human would survive. Emmett informed me, that though the house was modern, it had been built just after Edward had been bitten. They kept the house modern and fresh, but here, they hardly used it, and if they felt they needed to use it, they wanted it to work.
Morgan's had been chained the moment he was brought here. The chains were strong and heavy. Edward had placed his hands in the shackles first, followed by one that went around his neck, this limited his movement, and ability to escape. He mentioned that there was a way to create an electric charge, so if they truly wished to harm, they could. Though Morgan's hold had not been charged, I could tell it wasn't made easy. Carlisle had brought blood in from his work, dripping it about the cell floor. Edward and Emmett had taken bites of him, sending the venom through him. They said it wouldn't hurt as much as the first change, but it would still be very uncomfortable. They had brought in a live deer, draining it in front of him. He had gone slightly insane, from the lust of blood. It was the bribery of blood that had gotten the information from him. They hadn't needed to ask him any questions twice, as Edwards ability to read minds, could hear everything the old man thought.
"Please…. I wouldn't have killed her!" He'd begged as Emmett dropped him to his knees.
"It was Victoria! So many promises! I wanted the baby!" He yelled, looking at Bella's stomach. I watched as she placed her hands across her stomach protectively.
"I would have let her have it…" He said looking in fear as Emmett now stood above him.
"Please… Don't kill me! Please!" He begged, pleading till his last breath. The screams had shaken Bella. I pulled her into me, as his head was removed immediately after his arms. Emmett dropped each peace, as Edward lit a piece of wood that had cloth wrapped around the top, soaked in petrol. Edward had set alight each and every piece, not taking a chance for him to survive. The last part set alight was his torso.
"It's over now Bell's. You and your child will never be harmed by him again." Emmett had tried to comfort. She looked at Emmett.
"Until Victoria is dead, my child is in more danger than anything." Said looked down at her small flat stomach.
"Bella?" I called softly, concern etched over my face. Her eyes met my own for only a second before she turned, walking out of the cells. Edward walked over to me. I wasn't sure exactly what he would say but I waited; he had earned that much.
"We will kill Victoria, I promise Sam. I will not leave Forks until I know that Bella is safe. She may be with you, but I do love her. She will always be my concern." He said looking me straight in the eyes. Part of me hated him, another part didn't. I wasn't sure where I stood with Edward, but as long as he was offering to help me protect her, I would tolerate him.
Bella's POV
Sam was glaring at everybody.
"It is too dangerous!" He snapped at Jake and Paul. Jared looked at Sam, trying to word it better.
"Sam, with what Jasper has said about these new born's, Bella's blood will send them insane! If they find smears, they will miss important steps into actually finding her!" He tried to explain. Sam shook his head.
"We are not dangling the blood of my future bride in their faces! It will make them crazy! They find her, and they will not stop till she is drained! I will not put Bella in harm like this!" He shouted.
"I am sorry to say this, but I am with Sam on this!" Edward commented. I shot him a dirty look. This was my own idea, and I didn't need him helping Sam to say no. I looked at Sam as he raged on.
"She is pregnant for fuck sake!" He shouted. I stood, taking his hand into mine.
"Sam, I know the risks, but my blood can help lead them to the ambush! I will be far away in the mountains… please, you have to let me do this." I gave him the best persuasion look I could.
"Please." I said dropping my lip slightly. He glared at me.
"Bell's…." He groaned. I knew I was breaking him.
"Sam, you have to let me do this… I will not risk the tribes safety, nor anyone else's. If my blood can lead them away from everything, than it is something I have to do!" I said softly bringing my lips to his, gently nibbling. He let out a frustrated growl.
"Bella…. I swear you are the most stubborn person on this planet!" He grouched. I smiled, hugging him.
"I'll be fine. After all, I will be with Jake." I said softly.
"And me." Edward said to me. I looked over at him stunned.
"I can hear what is going on. Besides, I will not leave you alone." He said looking at me and a little nervously towards Sam.
"She won't be alone! I will be there!" Jacob snapped. I smiled at them. It was like the old days.
"Give it a rest Jake." I reprimanded. He sat back in his seat, arms crossed and glaring angrily.
"Bella, I will take a bag of your blood. We'll drip it around tonight. Mind you, you will need to be in the mountains tonight." Carlisle said to me.
"The sooner you are there, the harder it is to track you." He said to me. I smiled and nodded.
"Wait its fucking snowing on those mountains! She'll freeze to death!" Leah said suddenly. I looked up surprised, that she was concerned.
"It's okay; I will be with her, if she needs a personal heater." Jacob commented, coping a glare from Sam. I watched as Jacob suddenly looked down, not game to look around.
"I'll be fine!" I said to them all.
"Can I come?" Emily asked. She'd been sitting next to Leah in silence until now.
"It's just, the idea of staying here alone isn't very appealing, and I don't want to return to the tribe until all the danger is gone." She said to us. I nodded, thankful not to be alone.
"Very well, Jacob, Edward and Sam will escort the girls up. We vampires will be going on the hunt. We need our strength more than anything at the moment." Carlisle said looking at the group. Esme walked to me, hugging me and Emily.
"You both stay together, and do not worry. This time tomorrow, you will all be safe, home and free." She said smiling at us. I looked at Sam as he stood.
"Wolves get some rest. Jared, Paul, you two are in charge tonight. I want you all well rested. The three younger ones can patrol tonight. Tell them, tomorrow they are to stay out of the fight, but they can take any that flee. For now, Esme, we need as many blankets as you have. The girls will freeze in those altitudes." He said to her. She nodded standing and walking out of the lounge. She returned holding thick goose feather quilts.
"We'll go up now, set up the tent." Emmett said looking at Edward. Edward nodded. I watched Emmett and Rose take the blankets from Esme.
"Edward, you need to feed tonight also. Once the girls are set up, go hunt." Carlisle said to him as we all prepared to walk out. Edward didn't reply. I looked at Sam.
"We're going to need warm clothes." I said to him. He nodded.
"I can go get your coat and some more clothes. Emily, do you mind wearing some of Bella's?" He asked her.
"No, don't worry, we have plenty." Alice said sanding and rushing from the room. Alice walked back carrying armfuls.
"I brought these for Bella when she was with Edward, and Emily you are about the same size as Bella." She said to us. I stood, going to large thick coats with fleece lining. I took a brown one, and a pair of jeans. Emily did the same, taking a large white coat. I looked down at my feet.
"Ah…. What about shoes?" I asked
"I have the perfect thing." Alice walked out coming back with piles of socks and two pairs of mountain boots. I smiled as I took two pairs of socks and a pair of new boots. The first socks were woollen, and the other was just normal. I wasn't how well they would fit inside the boot's but I would manage.
"Emily, I got you a pair of Rose's boots. Bella's are a bit too small." She said smiling.
"Now I just need to take some blood first Bell's, then you can both get rugged up and go up to the site." Carlisle said to me. I followed him into his office, Sam following. I sat in a seat as Carlisle prepared the needle and bag.
"It won't hurt, I promise." He said eyeing Sam as Sam glared at the metal rod that would soon take my blood. I flinched only as the needle went into my arm. I stayed there for ten minutes, as Carlisle took what they would need.
"All done." He said placing a cotton ball on the tiny hole. He placed tape over the top, securing the cotton ball to my arm. I smiled at him as I went to stand.
"Not so fast!" He said stopping me.
"I need you to eat this." He said placing down two biscuits beside me.
"Where did these come from?" I asked him. He smiled.
"When I was considering our options, I made sure I had everything covered. Taking this amount of blood, you need the sugar intake, especially since you are pregnant." He said to me as I took a bite. I shook my head in disbelief as I ate up the two chocolate biscuits. Once he was satisfied I wouldn't faint, I was allowed to go to Alice's bedroom, where Esme and Emily were waiting for me.
I placed two layers of everything one. Alice made me wear leggings under my jeans, saying it would help my body keep its natural heat. Esme helped us change into the clothes, making us wear a turtle neck each, followed by my usual t-shirt and then the coat.
"Here, these are Emmett's. Don't ask me why he has them, but it'll help you both." Alice said holding out beanies as I pulled on the socks. I smirked, taking a black one, and placing it on. I was feeling the heat now, with it not being that cold inside the Cullen's. I thought I would start perspiring with how warm I felt now.
"Wait, last thing!" Alice held out two pairs of gloves for us. I sighed, as she assisted us in pulling them on.
"Happy?" I asked sarcastically. Alice gave a playful glare.
"I think you are both ready." Esme said zipping up Emily's coat. As we walked out, the wolves but Jake and Sam were gone.
"Ready?" Sam asked me. I smiled nodding, as he stood shirtless and wearing only his shorts. Jacob looked at Emily as he stood the as Sam did. I wrapped my arms around Sam's neck, as he scooped me into his arms.
"Your…. Scent… will cover the girls. No vampire will want to be anywhere near it." Edward said to him. Sam nodded, not really paying attention to what Edward was saying. Jacob on the other hand was glaring at usual.
"You can talk…" I heard him mutter. I watched as Emily wrapped her arms around Jake's neck.
"Are you sure this is okay?" She asked him, as he scooped her up. He smiled.
"It's no trouble at all." He said smiling.
"Trust me, you feel as light as a baby does to a normal human." He said to her. She smiled softly as they walked us out of the Cullen's house.
"Here, just in case you need to get a hold of us." Carlisle said to him holding out a mobile. Sam took it, not saying a word.
"Good luck you two. Stay warm." Esme said to Emily and I. I smiled at them all.
"Let's go." Sam ordered, beginning to jog with me bouncing along for the ride.
It wasn't enough. The clothes were not thick enough to keep the cold from seeping inside the thin tent Rose and Emmett had set up. I did like the tent. It wasn't small and had separate rooms that zipped up. Emily and I chose to share a room, not caring for the cold. I shook and shivered just as badly as she did. The blankets helped a little, but the icy wind seemed able to cut through the thickest of fabrics. I looked at Sam as he walked over, slipping in next to me. His body seemed like a heater that warmed me enough I could attempt some kind of sleep.
"Emily, let Jake hold you. His body temperature will help keep you warm." He said to her. She nodded, grabbing onto Jacob in desperate need of warmth. It took her only minutes to fall asleep.
Sam stayed, until Edward arrived.
"Bell's, I'm going to get Jacob to keep you and Emily warm. I am needed to meet up with the wolves." He whispered gently. I shook my head, not wanting for him to leave.
"I wish I could stay beautiful, for you, and the baby, but I need to be there. I need to help set up the trap with Carlisle and I need to kill this bitch, so you are safe." He gentle pressed his mouth to mine. I stood up with him, walking past Edward who was waiting just out of the room we'd been in. I walked out into the night wind and it was like I was frozen alive. Sam looked at me as I gripped tightly onto his hand.
"Promise me, you'll stay safe." I whispered fighting the want to cry. His mouth came passionately down on mine.
"I promise, I will be there for our child's birth. I will kill this bitch, than I am going to marry you, and spoil our baby." He said to me. I nodded hugging him.
"I love you Isabella Swan, and I will love you till our last breath and more." He kissed me once more, before phasing. I looked at the black wolf in front of me.
"I love you too. Come back to me." I said softly. The wolf nudged me towards the tent. I ran my hand softly over his snout before turning back to the tent and walking inside. I heard Sam's howl in the distance as he made his way back to the pack.
Edward's POV
I could hear Bella's whispered goodbyes. It hurt to hear her declare her love to Sam, but I understood it. He was everything she needed, and part of me was very thankful he had taken her. She would be able to have somewhat a normal life, and be able to be with her family. Another part of me was aching to be the one to sooth her. There was nothing I loved more than her, and it hurt that she no longer felt the same about me. I had to let her go.
I watched as Bella walked in. I could see the fear and sadness in her eyes, and I hoped Sam would be there to keep his promise.
"Bella… I am sorry." I said softly to her. She shook her head.
"Nothing to be sorry about Edward." She said softly. I took hold of her hand as she went to walk past.
"I am sorry Victoria is doing this to you. I know we are over, and I know I am the one to blame. You are strong Bella, and everything perfect in this world. I need you to know, that once she is out of the picture, I will be too. I want you to live and be happy. I love you enough to let you go. Sam is a good man, and I couldn't think of a better guy to replace me." I said softly. She moved over softly placing a kiss into my cheek.
"I'm sorry to. I wish you every happiness, and I hope you find the one you are meant to spend the rest of your life with." She gave a gentle smile before returning to the tent. Her lips had been blue cold when she had entered. I sat back, waiting to hear the hum of her heart as she fell asleep. I had missed the way I used to watch her sleep. It had always been my favourite thing to do when we were dating. Bella had a beauty that I had never seen before, and the idea of never seeing it again felt worst then death.
"Sweet dreams Bella." I whispered as I heard her heart rate smooth out.
It was seven in the morning when the sun came out to greet us. Jacob walked out looking fairly tired.
"I'm going to start the fire. I'll make some coffee or something warm for the girls." He grouched.
"I believe there is hot chocolate, but no tea or coffee." I called as he stormed out.
"No coffee… It's like Sam is trying to kill me." I heard him curse. Emily and Bella walked out as smoke began to fill the tent. Both girls looked exhausted as they woke.
"Morning Edward." Emily said softly as she walked past. Bella walked out, pulling on her boots before walking out to the fire Jacob had started.
"Here Bell's, drink up!" Jacob said pouring her a large mug of hot chocolate. I smiled as Bella gulped down the warm brew. I walked into the tents, taking the two geese feather blankets. I walked out, holding one to Bella and the other to Emily. They took them, wrapping themselves into them.
"Bella, you need to stay warm no matter what. I don't want anything happening to your baby!" Jacob told her, handing out a second mug. She rolled her eyes as she took it from him. I looked at Jacob.
"I think it's time for you to phase." I said looking at my watch. He nodded, phasing instantly.
"Cullen, stop telling me what to do." Jacob yelled inside his head at me. I watched as he went silent. I listened to his thoughts.
"First sighting! Traps worked!" I wasn't sure who's voice was whos, but I didn't care. I just needed to take what I could.
"Victoria's not with them!"
"I've counted about thirty!" I could tell this was Leah. I wasn't sure how but I did.
"Stay in teams!"
"Jacob, join us!" I looked at the wolf who seemed torn.
"No, he needs to stay there! Bella and Emily need him!" I was getting very confused as to who was who.
"Unless Sam orders it, I stay with Bella and Emily!" Jacob told them.
"They're at the fields! Cullen's are there!"
"The fights begun, no Victoria!" I broke the link. Bella and Emily were watching Jacob and I close. I stayed silent, concentrating on seeing if I could hear anyone else.
"Jacob, there is a wolf…" I said to him. I watched as a small wolf walked in. He was light brown and young.
"Seth!" Bella said stunned. Emily walked to the wolf, hugging it slightly.
"What are you doing here?!" I asked.
"Sam, he wants Jake and I to hide, he reckons take them by surprise." He answered. I looked at Bella who was looking at me. I looked at Jacob as he walked to the wolf.
"Go Jake. I need to concentrate." I said to him and the wolf I didn't know. It took only a few minutes, before all I could hear was,
"She's here… find her, and he suffers. Kill her, and James will be revenged" I looked at Bella and Emily. I held out hands to them. Both stood taking hold. I walked them slowly, trying hard to find a place that they would have a chance to run if they needed it. I could not lose Bella or Emily. They stayed close to me as I lead them down the mountain slightly. I could hear Victoria so easily and knew she was here, and she wasn't alone.
Well, I hope you like it… I am not really sure how to write this, so I'm gonna do it and hope it turns out okay. Some parts will mirror eclipse but not all. I'll post again soon
