Okay, so I am a silly goose… I uploaded the last chapter, but forgot to upload the small changes I made on my computer to the last paragraph where Bella found herself on the road. Here is the revised version and then onto chapter 6! I am really sorry! But when I thought of this chapter last minute I had to change it just a bit, and then I forgot to update the chapter in the fan fiction documents before updating the story. AND ONWARD!


End of Chapter 5

The only sound around me was the sickening crunch of metal as his small car continued spiraling around on the asphalt before my head knocked into the side panel and my world went dark.

Pain, I felt like my body was engulfed in flames, the only solace I found was from someone near me and animal maybe, the pain would lessen as I felt the dog? Wolf? Near me. Almost as if they were trying to comfort me. Finally it stopped, I could feel the cold ground pressed against the side of my face and bare legs. I tried pushing myself up, but there was no strength left in me. My hand reached out for the animal, but it must have left. Maybe my imagination? I could feel something wet dripping down the side of my neck and when the smell of rust hit my nose and I knew I must be bleeding. My heavy eyes shutting as I heard growling and a screeching noise behind me, a moment later I was engulfed in heat as someone picked me up off the ground cradling me to their body. I could only wonder if they had wrapped me in a heating blanket, I was safe now right? I felt safe. I was warm. Pressing my face into the person holding me as I finally allowed the darkness to overtake me again.


Paul POV

The cold harsh wind was blowing harder through the trees now as the think dark clouds above swirled around as if they were angry themselves blocking out any sunlight. It was still late afternoon, but it looked as if it could be nightfall already. I was glaring hard down the road at the small car that was speeding towards us; my teeth exposed as my lip curled up as I snarled, my dark silver fur bristled up. I was ready to attack that leech we just needed to get him out of the damn car, and away from my mate! Sam stood at my side just as angry as I was, both of us posed and ready to attack.

"Sam! Paul! They are speeding up! The leech saw us and is accelerating." Jared huffed out as he kept up with the car. Every so often glancing at the car. When he looked at Bella my heart stopped seeing her in the car with tear streaks down her face. She looked so small next to him, so fragile, I could see the fear in her features as she looked around the car holding her right arm as if injured. The thought made me growl loudly. "He hurt her!" My wolf franticly clawing to get to our mate. "Mate Hurt. Mate. LEECH. Kill HIM."

"Paul, we are going to get her out of there." Sam growled next to me on the road his body stiff with anticipation, I knew he was thinking about if it was Emily. We were all livid, she might not know about us yet. Or about me imprinting on her, but she was a pack member. The leech messed with the wrong girl.

Looking through Jake and Jared's mind I knew she had seen them pacing with the car, although she looked like she was still trying to figure out what she was seeing, temporally the fear that once held her was gone. It was as if some of the unknown anxiety I had about her fearing my wolf lifted, she wasn't scared of them. When they were about 65 feet from Sam and I she looked forward seeing Sam and I for the first time, horror swept over her features as she yelled something at the leech next to her. When he didn't move to answer her my heart stopped seeing her lean over him grabbing the wheel and yanking it down as hard as she could while he was distracted.

The leech had been focused on growling at Jake, and even with his faster reaction time couldn't correct the vehicle before the wheels turned and the car flipped off the side of the road missing Sam and I. "NO!" I took off towards the car Sam hot on my heels as it finally stopped just off the road about half a mile down. When we were about 10 feet away the door of the car flew off of its hinges crashing into a large redwood denting the tree as the metal bent out of shape. We halted growling and snarling as Jake and Jared caught up flanking on either side of us, "He just needs to get out of the damn car!" I heard Jake growl and I just kept trying to get a visual on my mate. Why in the hell did she grab the wheel like that? The wolf in me growling that our mate caused the accident and possible harm to herself while I still could not reach her. Sam and I were going stop the car with our bodies, it wasn't going to hurt us, and she would have been cushioned. Safe.

Waiting for the blood sucker to get out of the car seemed like forever before I finally saw his leg step out, I could hear my brothers all growling lowly warning the leech not to move too fast. They were all speaking at once "We are gonna kill him!" "Rip his limbs off and beat him with them!" "He is gonna be barbeque in a minute!" "Calm down guys, we need to make sure Isabella is clear first." Sam's voice called out the Alpha tone thick in his voice, I was shaking too badly to chime in, my only thoughts of getting her out of his cold dead hands and into mine. I didn't even know the touch of her skin yet, she'd only ever said one word directed to me and that was 'bye'.

My wolf whined seeing him getting out of the car facing us, my unconscious mate lying in his arms acting as a barrier between us and him. Jared and Jake both looked too Sam, what where they going to do. She was too close. He cradled her body to him, one arm under her bare knees, and the other underneath her shoulders as her head hung backwards pointed towards the sky, her soft white neck stretched out completely exposed to the monster holding her. I couldn't take it any longer, growling lowly at the leech I slowly took a step towards him. Maybe I could distract him "Jared try and come up behind him." The leech shook his head at me, his black eyes smiling at me. "I don't think so beast. You can't corner me." His sickly sweet voice laced with venom. "I don't think you'll be beating me with my own arms today either. She isn't your mate, she will never be your … mate. She is mine, forever" He swallowed as if her scent was calling to him. I looked at Sam warily, "how did he know that?" "I don't know Pa…." Sam was cut off by the leech, "I can hear your repugnant thoughts beast. I will always be one step ahead of you." He smirked at me as if he had already won, my wolf clawing to get out.

The winds gusted another wave of freezing air at us as my eyes trailed over my mates form, she had a sweater on even though it was hanging slightly off one arm as it dangled in the air exposing a sliver of her delicate skin, her shorts not covering anything past her upper thigh, and her bare feet dangling in the freezing air. Her normal pale skin, looked sickly pallid. "Is he trying to freeze her?" Growling at the state of her, "I needed to get her warm." The leech just snarled at me, "Don't concern yourself with her, she won't need to be warm soon." I couldn't help the snarled that escaped me, I noticed my brothers snarling at him as we all were slowly advancing on him. "We need to catch him off guard somehow…." Edward just grinned at Jared who had just spoken to us and we knew he heard him.

"Edward put her down son, her future is not with you." All of our attention focused on the new arrivals standing on the road. The leader of the leeches was standing there with the rest of their coven, their eyes trained on us. The small dark haired pixie leech stepped forward getting a low growl from me, one leech around my mate was too much already. She slowly put her hands up as she stopped, her nervous eyes flickered from me back to the leech holding my mate. "Edward, her future is gone from my vision. I no longer see her with us in the future. I've tried searching for her future, but it keeps bouncing around." The pixie looked pained, the leech responded to her by looking at my mates face. "And what do you see?" The pixie looked at me with unease before letting her eye drift back to him, "There are three versions I keep seeing Edward. The first….. She is an old lady, she was smiling and laughing…." The thought of the pixies vision gave me hope, but before she could continue she was cut off as Edward backed up gripping my mate tighter as he snarled at her. "The others?" He glared at her. She swallowed chancing a look at me and each of my brothers. "She was a vampire in the second, but like I said she wasn't with us. She was so angry, her eyes were red. She resented everything our family stood for, she kills out of pain. You can't want that for her." He just growled looking at my mate, I couldn't help but look at her as well. I couldn't imagine her like that, she could never hurt anyone like that. Sam looked over at me with pain in his eyes, "She was most likely hoping someone would end her life." I whimpered at the thought. As I glanced back at the pixie wondering if she would continue, "And the third is nothing Edward, Just darkness. Her future blanked out as if she is dead." She took another step, this time I let her. She was trying to get the crazy one away from my mate. "I know you love her, you have to see the only future she is happy in is when she is able to grow old Edward. You need to let her go."

I snarled as the damn leech gripped my mate tighter. I knew from how his fingers were digging into the soft flesh of her thigh she would have fingertip bruises. "No, I don't believe you. Isabella is mine! I am not going to give her to those mangy beasts. She is too delicate. I need to keep her away from them. I need to make her stronger…." He said as he looked down at my mate again, she was lying in his arms blissfully unaware of the danger she was in. The pixie shot forward, "EDWARD NO!" trying to race to him as our eyes shot to the leech just as he bit down into the soft flesh of her neck right where it joined with her shoulder. It was almost instantiations as her body went ridged, her beautiful face clinching up in agony. The pixie grabbed my mate from him while he was still in what appeared to be bliss, and laid her withering form on the asphalt as she screamed for the doctor "Carslie!" I growled loudly as I felt as if molted lava was running through my veins crippling me. I felt everything my imprint was feeling as I howled out in pain trying to drag myself to her. I could heard my pack mates snarling at the leeches, but I couldn't focus on anything but the pain my mate and I were in. I couldn't help her, I could only pray she was still in deep unconsciousness.

Sam POV

"The leech bit her!" my wolf snarling as I watched the small leech lay Isabella down on the ground; the leech we had been chasing after tried to run. "BLOCK HIM IN HE IS GOING TO DIE!" Jared and Jake snapping and snarling waiting for my signal as the doctor leech stepped tried closer to her, I snapped at him for getting to close to her. Looking at Paul, "Hang in there Paul." I didn't even know if he could hear me through the pain, he was trying to get to Bella. We could all feel it to a certain extent, but the pain was crippling him as he crawled on his belly to him imprint nudging her hand with his nose as he whimpered.

I glared back at the leech doctor before phasing in front of him not caring that I was completely naked, "HE BIT HER!" I stalked towards the man who was about half a head shorter than me. He held his hands up, "And his future is now in your hands, but" he stepped back slightly pointing to our sister and brother. "I can help her. Venom is flowing through her veins right now. She is in transition." I growled "What does that mean?" He kept his hands up, "She is changing right now, and the venom is killing her body. In 3 days' time her pain will stop, along with her heart. She will be a vampire. But I can stop it; I can suck the venom out over her, I know you don't trust us. Especially now." I growled, "How do I know you're not going to drain her!" He looked down at Isabella and Paul, "You don't, but she will be a vampire if I don't do anything. Do you really want your brother to have to kill his own mate when she wakes up? That is the only other option. And if I do drain her… she dies, and he wouldn't have to watch her turn into his enemy either. He would kill me in revenge, but he would still lose her. And possibly you would lose him. If I can cleanse her blood, she would remain human and they can have a life together. But we are running out of time for it to work."

I looked at Paul and then Bella, Jared and Jake were snarling at the leech as he snarled back in a futile attempt to escape. I looked back to the doctor praying that I was making the right decision, I couldn't let her turn into a vampire, and death was a far better option. Although I knew Paul would die as well if that happened. I could only hope the doctor leech was being truthful about being able to stop the venom. "Do it. But if she dies, you all die." My words laced with malice. He nodded in acceptance and turned walking to Isabella on the opposite side of Paul. I held my hand up as Jared and Jake started to advance on the doctor. "He is trying to help." Kneeing down next to Paul I held him down, although it didn't take much in his current condition. "He is going to make her better Paul." Paul just whined and pushed his nose into her hand again trying to comfort her. I looked up nodding to the doctor as I watched him lift her slightly before he sunk his teeth into the same wound that the other leech left, I hadn't noticed how much blood had covered her until now. I reached down touching her arm and it shocked me that she was so cold, only a moment later the doctor leech released her neck, gasping as he crawled back forcing himself from her. "Her blood is clean. But…. You need to get her to a hospital." I could see the pain in his eyes as his once golden eyes now held a dark amber color as Bella's human blood ran through him. I listened to her heart rate slowing down the pain subsiding, Paul was becoming coherent again as well. "Thank you".

Paul moved his head and looked up at me for the first time. "He saved her Paul. However, "nodding to the other leech that was cornered by Jared and Jake "he is yours to deal with." He looked at the doctor and then at the other leech as he got up on his paws. Shakily at first, but quickly steadied nudging Isabella's hand slightly before stalking over to the leech who now reeked of fear. He growled low before advancing, his jaws snapping around the leeches head as Jared and Jake each ripped an arm off. The screeching ending quickly as they burned the pieces. The doctor and pixie rejoined the rest of their family on the other side of the road, "We will be leaving now. We will not be returning to this area again." I just nodded to them in silent thanks and they were gone.

I looked back to Paul who had phased back into a human sitting on the ground. He stood slowly getting help as Jared let him lean on him while getting his shorts on. "Paul, he got the venom out of her. She is going to be alright. We should get her to the hospital on the Res, Sue will know what to do." He nodded as he walked over to her without saying a word picking her small form up in his arms breathing in her scent, I could see the relief flood over him as she nuzzled her face into his chest. Resting his cheek to the top of her head briefly before he started walking across the road and into the woods towards the reservation.
