AN: Okay. Sorry for the long wait. I literally lost my notebook and finally found it again. Turns out it was at my moms all along. Anyways, the next two chapters are going to be kinda short. I apologize for that, for I am now writing longer chapters, or at least trying to. But since these two were already prewritten they will be short.
"How's it feel to be able to phase again?" Bella asked Leah.
Leah laughed, "Abso-fucking-lutely wonderful."
Bella, Emily and Kim all laughed with Leah.
"I'm glad." Bella stated as Emily finished bandaging her hands. "Thank you, Emily."
Emily smiled, "You're very welcome. Now, where are the men?"
Just as the question left her mouth they, barring Jacob, came into the kitchen. Sam immediately went to Emily's side, Jared went to akim and wrapped his arms around her waist, Paul went to Bella, kissing her bruised hands before pulling her to his chest.
"Can we go home?" He asked her. She nodded and grabbed his hand.
"Bye, guys. See you tomorrow." Bella called as they left.
S they were walking home to Paul's house, Paul asked Bella, "Are you gonna ask where Jake and Lydia went?"
"Did they go home together? Do you know what's gonna happen?" Bella questioned.
Paul sighed, "He wanted her at his house so he could watch her carefully. As for what's gonna happen, Jake's going to call her brother to come get her, if he hasn't already. He wants her gone as soon as possible. By the way, that was one hell of an ass kickin'."
Bella chuckled, "Hands hurt like hell, but it was worth it." She sobered almost immediately. "Do you think her brother is a good person?"
Paul shrugged, "Don't know. We'll find out soon enough."
They finally made it home and opened the door when a piercing howl sounded.
"Fuck!" Paul exclaimed. "I got to go. That's Quil."
Bella nodded, "Go on. I'll stay here and wait for you."
Paul kissed her hard, before turning and running into the woods behind them. He was immediately bombarded with the others' voices.
What's going on?-Leah
Yeah, what's the big deal?-Jared
Well, someone's cranky, Paul thought. The others laughed.
Shut it, Lahote.-Jared
Guys, I smell leeches.-Quil
That shut them up. They then felt Sam phase in, along with Brady and Collin.
What are we waiting for? Follow the scent.-Sam
It's familiar.-Quil
I hope it's not the--Paul
Cullens.-Seth
Fuck!-Paul and Sam
What are they doing back?-Paul
They left four years ago.-Embry
Yes, we know. I wonder what they are doing back.-Sam
Who are the Cullens?-Brady
Why are these leeches so important?-Collin
Hold on, Collin. Leave the Cullens alone. We will meet with them later.-Sam
Sounds like a plan-Paul
Everyone agreed and with that the wolf pack made their way back home. Paul split off toward his house. There he found Bella sitting on the porch swing, knees drawn up to her chest.
Phasing, he made his way to her. "Babe, what's wrong?"
She shook her head, "Just worried about you. All of you."
He gathered her in his arms and made his way inside.
"Baby, it's okay. All of us, we're okay. It was a false alarm." Paul explained.
It's far from a false alarm, Paul thought as his chest tightened.
"Tomorrow we're having a pack meeting to explain some things. You need to be there, it's important." He told her.
Bella nodded, "It involves me somehow doesn't it. Amd don't lie to me, Paul."
He sighed, "Yes. It involves you somehow. We're just not sure how yet."
