Bella McLeod

Healer

This is my first Twilight fic, and it is a femlash, featuring Bella and Rosalie as a couple. So, if you don't like, please head somewhere else.

As an introduction, you may want to read "Snape McLeod" since the Bella that trained Tobias there is the same one here, only a decade later. It's not a requirement for you to read it, especially since I will try and untangle things as the story progresses. I altered the timeline to fit my needs, so… she met Snape in 1997, they parted ways in 2000 and it is now 2011, when she moves to Forks with Charlie.

Bare in mind that I do not own Twilight, nor its characters, so if you recognize any of them, THEY'RE NOT MINE. I only own the idea of making Bella Swan part of Clan McLeod.

I also not own the Highlander series, characters and concepts.

Remember to leave your reviews…

Bella McLeod

Chapter 13

Healer

By the time I reached Bella's home she had lost so much blood that short from a miracle, I did not think she would make it.

'You have to believe what she said' I kept telling myself 'You have to believe she will be alright'

I burst into her home without caring about the door or appearances.

"Charlie!" I yelled. "Charlie!" I repeated taking Bella into the living room and setting her down on the couch. "Charlie!" I kept yelling for Charlie to come, I knew he was already home, his heartbeat telling me that.

As I roamed the kitchen looking for something to help clean Bella's wound and apply pressure on it, I could finally hear footsteps from the staircase.

"Who is it?" Asked Charlie with his gun in hand looking for any threat "What happened?" he asked alarmed when his eyes fell on me.

I looked down to take into my appearance and I could easily understand Charlie paling and the reaction before me. My clothes and hands were covered in blood, I could bet that moving as I had moved, probably my face had some blood too.

"It's Bella" I said heading back into the living room with the piece of fabric I had just found. "She was attacked from the back, I believe they were trying to kill her" I said applying pressure on the wound on Bella's stomach. "She is dying Charlie." I pointed out looking back at him who was staring in disbelief. "Do something!" I demanded "She didn't let me get her to a Dr, she said you would know what to do" Still Charlie did not move from where he was. "Fuck this, I'm calling Carlisle!" I reached into my pocket looking for my phone.

"Dr. Carlisle Cullen?" He asked at the moment I had finally reached my phone, I nodded. "Don't" he said and rushed toward Bella. "Tell me exactly what happened" he demanded me while looking at Bella's wounds.

I explained him about how this two newcomers had approached us when we were heading back and that Bella had asked me to wait by the truck, but I hadn't when I noticed the lighting storm.

"Do you know what is the male's name?" he asked me while heading into the kitchen

"No" I told him.

"Let's start with cleaning the wound" said Charlie bringing back a bowl with water and another clothe.

"The bleeding has not stopped!" I told him "and her heart beat is slowing down"

"I know" he simply said putting the bowl on the small table in the living room and taking out his own phone. He waited patiently while the other party answered. "Joe, is Duncan there?"

"Yes, you want to speak with him?" I could hear this Joe at the other end of the line

"Put me on speaker, we might need your help"

"Duncan, Charlie on the line. There Charlie, we're set"

"Duncan, Bella faced Karen Anthropus tonight." Said Charlie oddly calm and beginning to strip Bella's upper body.

"Is she alright?" asked Duncan, I identified his voice from all the previous phone calls my mate had had with him.

"No, but she will be" said Charlie and he was telling the truth

"What's the matter then?" asked Joe

"Bella was stabbed on her stomach from her back by a male who was accompanying Karen" Charlie paused briefly in order to change the phone to his other ear. "Joe, do you think you can help me track him down? Find out his name and if he is a brother or not? Normally I would, but I have to take care of Bella"

"Just let her sleep Charlie, you know she'll be fine by noon" said Duncan clearly unbothered by the fact that his step daughter was dying on this living room. I was about to start growling again but then I was hit by the fact that Bella was regaining conscience and still seemed to be in a lot of pain.

Charlie noticed too and stood up heading into the kitchen again, so I blocked away the conversation he was having.

"Bella, thank god" I said smiling at her, holding her in my arms. However her heartbeat was still slowing down.

"Thanks from bringing me to him" said Bella in a whisper. Her left hand reached to my cheek while she smiled at me. I cupped her hand in mine keeping it there, feeling her temperature had also dropped considerably. "I'm sorry I just put you through this" she said.

"Not your fault" I said smiling down at her

"Merci" she finally whispered.

"What?" I asked confused. What was she thanking me for? Then I suddenly remembered Evangeline. "No Bella, no!" I pleaded while her weak hand tried to tug me down to her. Just as my lips were a few inches from hers she let out a last sigh and then life left her body.

No more heartbeat, no more breathing, no nothing.

"BELLA NO!" I screamed in rage. Charlie came running into the living room still in deep conversation. "She's not breathing!"

"Shit. Have to go. Call you later" said Charlie tossing the phone on the table. "Rosalie, listen to me" he said trying to take me away from Bella.

I stood up, rage completely filing me. "No. I'm done with this. She's gone." I said standing up and heading back to Port Angels. "And so will him"

I ran back to the alley only to notice that Karen's death body and Bella's killer were no were to be seen. There were still traces of the spilled blood, but somehow it appeared as if someone had actually tried to clean it up.

I crouched down and let the beast in me take control.

"Find him" I thought "He killed my mate" I caught up his scent and I smirked "And now I'll kill him"

I followed his scent back to a hotel. This would be easy. I roamed the hotel in the shadows, looking for him. After just a few minutes I found him, about to get into his room.

"You killed my Bella" I snarled behind him once he had opened the door, pushing him inside. "Now I will kill you" I finished letting myself in and closing the door behind me.

"What are you talking about?" asked this man

"Just about the girl whose stomach you pierced this evening" I said hitting him hard on taking him to the floor, I stepped on him making sure that with that I had broken a few ribs. He tried to stand but I stomped on his leg, breaking it too.

"That would not kill her" he seethed through the pain he was obviously feeling.

"Well, it did" I said picking him up by his arm and breaking his wrist in the process. I tossed him down again and kicked him on his back, by his kidneys. He rolled over and tried to get away. I crouched down and while he was facing the floor, I put my knee on his neck. "Any last words?" I asked him, venom pouring from my fangs now.

To my extreme surprise he started to laugh out loud, just as if he had heard the best joke ever told in the world. I was taken aback by his actions when the door burst open and another predator's scent invaded my nostrils, so I did what the predator in me demanded. I broke my prey's neck. I would not give anyone else the satisfaction of taking away the life of the one who took away my mate's life.

"ROSALIE NO!" I heard at the same time that the guy's neck below me cracked. A second later I was tackled down.

I tried to get loose of the two bodies that had me pinned on the floor. I was growling and fighting but to no avail. Somewhere in the back of my mind I knew that the ones tackling me were Emmet and Jasper and that the one standing in front taking out a phone was Alice. I tried to concentrate on the fact that they were my siblings and that's when I felt a wave of calm trying to invade me. It was Jasper, trying me make me calm down.

"Carslile, we were too late" I heard Alice tell on the phone. I could not hear the response she got. "No, she did not drink but he is dead"

With those words I remembered why I was there and regretted not being able to cry. My mate had died and I couldn't shed a tear for her.

"She's starting to feel regret" I heard Jasper tell over his shoulder to Alice.

"NO!" I said "I'm glad he died" I said, this obviously took them by surprise because I was able to get them off of me. "He killed Bella. Bella is dead and he" I said gesturing to the body on the floor "killed her. He killed my mate!" I growled at them.

"What are you talking about?" asked Alice confused.

"Bella… she is dead" I growled again.

"No, she can't be" whispered Alice

"She died. She died in my arms" I whispered

"Where is she?" Asked Emmett

"I took her home" I told him "She asked me to take her to Charlie, and so I did"

"Rosalie…" said Alice carefully approaching me "Bella is not dead" she said and she believed what she was saying, but she hadn't been at Bella's home. I shook my head. "No, she is not. I had a vision of her looking for you tomorrow at school. But it will be sunny, so we won't be there" she said softly.

"When did you have this vision?" I asked her, trying to stay calm enough to explain that surely her vision had taken place before she died.

"It was strange" she said "I had a double vision of the both of you… as if you both had reached a decision regarding the other one at the same time"

I looked up in time to see Carlisle coming through the door.

"Let's have this conversation back at home. Jasper, take this man's wallet and whatever you think might make it look as a robbery" Jasper nodded and busied himself around the room. Carlisle approached and nudged me towards the door. "Let's go home and then we can deal with whatever happened"

I absently nodded and followed him and my siblings out of the building. I suddenly remembered that I had Bella's keys and that the truck was still here.

"We have to take back Bella's truck" I said taking out her keys.

Carlisle nodded and asked me for the keys, once I had gave them to him, he tossed them over to Emmet.

We were back home before him, but it was silent, no one dared to speak a word. When Emmet arrived, he tossed me back Bella's keys. After an eternity of silence and me going over in my head of what had happened when I reached the alley and until I arrived to Charlie's home, Edward was the one who broke the silence.

"So you just left her to Charlie and decided to take revenge. You don't really know if she is dead" he accused me.

"She died in my arms you asshole!" I growled at him and showed him my memory of Bella dying in my arms.

"I told you she is not dead" said Alice stepping between Edward and myself. I looked down at her, still annoyed at my family. "I told you I had a double vision" She started. "er, two visions at the same time, both trying to come first... as if both, Bella and you, had reached a decision regarding the other one at the exact same moment" I was confused now, this has never happened before.

"She knows that" said Edward. "That is why it took her so long to make out each of them."

"What are you talking about Alice? What did you see?" I asked

"Well, the first one, or what I assumed was the first one because it was the first I could make sense of, I already told you about. Bella looking for you. It hasn't changed, so that means Bella is still alive"

She was telling the truth and that was not reassuring. "How is that possible?" I asked to low that I'm sure that if my family were not vampires, none of them could have heard me.

"Probably Charlie did CPR on her and now she is fine" said Edward as if it was obvious.

"We are all assuming things, even when Alice's visions had never been wrong after decisions are made" said Esme lightly stroking my hair, surely trying to sooth me. "Carlisle, why don't you call Chief Swan? Tell him our daughter is distressed about Bella's health and that if he wishes, you could go over there"

Carlisle nodded and taking out his phone he dialed Bella's phone number. "Jasper, Edward, both of you try to use your gifts through Rosalie" My siblings nodded and I frowned. "You are a little disturbed Rose" he explained "But you know your gift does not lie" We all stayed in silence listening for the conversation he was about to have with the Chief.

"Hello" said Charlie on the phone

"Good night, is this Chief Swan?" asked Carlisle

"Yes, who is it?"

"I'm Dr. Carlisle Cullen"

"Oh, Dr. Cullen, what can I do for you?"

"You see, my daughter Rosalie, just came back home. She came on Bella's truck, we can bring it back to your place if you want" said Carlisle. I just wanted him to cut to the chase.

"Oh, no, do not worry, she can take it tomorrow to school and give it back to Bella then" said Charlie a little nervous.

"Well, there's another reason for this call" said Carlisle, he paused briefly waiting for Charlie to say something but he didn't, so he kept going "My daughter said they ran into a couple of thieves, and that Bella was hurt badly. That she lost consciousness."

"Well, yes, Bella was in did hurt and she is still out" said Charlie, clearly telling the truth "But she'll be fine. She is sleeping it off" he finished.

"Do you want me to check on her?" asked Carlisle politely.

"Don't worry doc, I already took care of her wounds"

"So, Bella is fine right?" asked Carlisle

"Not at her hundred percent, but yeah, she'll be fine. Thanks doc. And thank your daughter for bringing her home"

Then Carlisle looked toward my brothers, both Jasper and Edward nodded. I could not deny that Chief Swan had been telling the truth. "She is alive" I said. Then realization hit me. "How am I going to face her now?"

"What are you talking about sweetie?" asked me Esme.

"I killed a man. I'm a murderer. How can I face my mate now?"

REVISED A/N (January 2022): Not much to change in this chapter, luckily. Now though, Rosalie is going to face her inner demons and a little bit of angst is coming her way. Not to worry. Bella is also stubborn.
