Chapter Four: Cold
Bella POV
I sat with Jake in the clearing nervously looking around me. I glanced at my sore hand, which I had cut to leave blood around a few rocks in the clearing. We were hoping Victoria would take the bait.
I hadn’t spent as much time with the pack as I would have liked this past week but I couldn’t risk running into Paul. He just made me so nervous. It almost made Jake’s flirting seem like nothing at all. When he kissed me the other night...even I can’t explain it. I don’t know what happened. For a minute I lost control of myself in his kiss and I felt alive like I never thought I would again. After...Edward left I felt like that was it, my best friend, my boyfriend and the family I loved so much had just vanished and left me like I was nothing. Victoria was here and they hadn’t even come to protect me. But the pack would... “Bella, stop being nervous I can practically smell it.” Jake murmured, in my ear low enough that if she was close she wouldn’t hear. “Really?” I asked, trying to sniff myself. I couldn’t smell a thing. “Sorry.” “Bella, I’ll always look out for you, you know that don’t you?” he asked, reaching his arms around me. “I know.” I replied, leaning against him and pressing my face against his warm skin. “You’re gonna be OK Bells.” He said, “You’ve got us now.” I felt my eyes start to prickle with tears and bit my lip. I felt Jake stiffen as I tried to hold my emotions in check.Paul POV
It was slow torture. Watching my Bella, cuddling up to Jake like that. She had avoided me like I was a disease since I kissed her and I hated it. Even though part of me was relieved because it was impossible to be around her and not want to be with her; I needed to see her. No matter what my head told me, every other part of me wanted Bella.
Watching her snuggling up to Jacob black and looking so comfy about it really pushed my buttons but there was no way in hell Bella would have let me be the one she hung around in a clearing with for Christ only knows how long. Suddenly we caught Victoria’s scent, that didn’t take long at all... Jake didn’t appear to have noticed yet due to his human form. I wanted to dive straight towards the scent but Sam’s command was very clear. Until the last second we all held our ground. Then I saw Jake tense, and knew he’d picked up Victoria’s scent too. Now we just had to wait to see if she would take the bait. Hopefully we were just far enough away so that she wouldn’t catch all of our scents as well. I scanned the trees around the clearing but still saw nothing, not even the slightest movement caught my attention. Where was she? I remembered Bella telling us how fast these bloodsucking leeches were, how graceful and quiet...would we even spot her until the last minute anyway? Then we saw her, she shot out towards Bella and Jake and Sam gave the command for us to move in on her.Bella POV
I barely saw more than a blur before she made a grab for me and I was shoved away from Jake as he jumped between her me Victoria. My heart was in my mouth as Jake crashed against her in his human body. He hadn’t had time to phase and he looked like he was in pain. I saw the pack coming in from all directions and Jacob quickly backed off to phase.
The wolf I recognised as Seth came and stood in front of her, blocking her from the battle. I kept trying to look around him to see what was happening; I wanted Victoria dead and everyone else fine. When I did get a look my stomach turned...something was wrong. Victoria wasn’t struggling anymore, she was smiling. I stepped out to the side of Seth to get a better look. The wolves had her arms and Leah had her throat. Victoria spotted me looking at her and laughed. It was a cruel disturbing sound. “You’re stupider than you look human.” She smirked. “You can kill me, but I’ll get revenge either way. Tell your dad I said hi.” “What?!” I choked out, as Leah clapped down on her throat harder. “What did you do to Charlie?!” The last thing I heard was her laughter and screams mixing together as I ran. I heard a howl behind me knowing that meant to stop but I ignored them. I needed to check that Charlie was alright. “Bella! It’s probably a trap!” I heard a voice shout to me. “I don’t care!” I replied, not even turning, not even slowing down. I reached the village and headed straight to Jake’s garage for his bike. I mentally went through Jake’s instructions as I started the bike and pulled it out of the garage. “Don’t do anything stupid!” Paul’s voice shouted. I ignored him. I didn’t care what happened to me right now...I couldn’t let Charlie get hurt because of me. “Damn it!” “Bella!” I heard Jake’s voice call, as I rode straight past him and the others now making their way back. My mind was on one thing. Charlie.Paul POV
“Don’t do anything stupid!” I shouted to Bella, catching up with her just in time to see her wheeling Jake’s bike out of his garage. She completely ignored me and rode off before I could grab the bike. “Damn it!”
Jake came out of the woods ahead of me calling her but she ignored him too. This damn girl was going to be the death of me. “We’re finished up there. Leah, Seth and Embry are going to stay behind until the fires burnt out.” Jake told me. “We chasing her?” “I guess so.” I muttered, phasing and heading after Bella, Jake hot on my heels. ‘Be careful.’ Sam’s voice called to me. ‘We’re on our way to back you up.’Bella POV
“Dad?!” I called, running up the porch. Moments later a body stood between me and the door. “Get out of the way.”
“Bella, you’re not going in there.” He said in a low voice. “Get out of my fucking way!” I screamed, desperately shoving at him. “Jake.” Paul’s voice came from behind us. “If it was your dad what would you do?” Sam asked him, joining us on the porch. Jake’s arm lowered and he turned to face the door. “Fine, but we all go in together and she stays behind me.” He said. “There’s leech stench all over this place.” The door opened and I swear my heart stopped beating as I tried to see around Jake. I got my answer instantly as Jake’s stance changed from cautious to ready to attack. Charlie was held against the wall by a male vampire...I swear I recognised him but couldn’t think of his name. My eyes met Charlie’s and my heart instantly broke. It would take instants for Charlie’s life to be over...if one of us moved... “Get out of here.” Charlie’s gruff voice said. “Bella go!” I just shook my head and bit my lip. I didn’t dare speak or I would cry. “Bella.” The vampire smiled, he moved Charlie away from the wall and smashed him back against it. “Your choice. You or him?” “Me! It’s me you want!” I cried. “He has nothing to do with this!” “Are you sure?” he said, crushing him against the wall again. “Bella get out of here!” Charlie shouted. Riley tossed him aside and made a move towards me but he was too slow. The pack took their chance and jumped him. I went straight to Charlie. “Oh god Dad!” I gasped, reaching him. He lay on the floor, panting and choking over his words. “Oh god, Dad I’m so sorry.” I reached for my phone and started dialling ‘911’. “Get away from here.” He told me. “It’s ok, Jake and Sam and the guys are here. They’ve taken care of him.” I told him. “We’re safe now.” Paul and Sam crouched down next to me and I could see them assessing the situation. I heard sirens but I don’t remember actually saying anything to the operator on the other end of the phone. “Look after her.” Charlie said. “We will.” Sam said. I looked at them in disbelief and shook my head. “What are you saying stop it!” I choked. “Dad don’t talk stupid that’s an ambulance just coming now!” “You’ve always been my... little girl.” He gasped; I could see him shuddering to take deep breaths. “Bella...I-I...” “Dad?! Dad!” I screamed, grabbing at him. The rest of my words were lost amongst screams and tears. The paramedics came through the door but I didn’t even think about what story we were going to tell them. “Take her.” I heard Paul say, and then Jake’s hot arms wrapped around me, pulling me away from Charlie’s now lifeless body, crumpled on the floor. I don’t remember much after that. It was like a blur, a nightmare...if I thought losing Edward had been bad, this was a million times worse. It wasn’t real. It couldn’t be real.Paul POV
Sam had taken care of the details with the officials and we all just went along with the story. So far no one had been able to get hold of Bella’s mom so for now she would be staying with Billy and Jake. I found Bella curled up on the porch of Sam and Emily’s house clinging to him like she would be dragged away if she let go. I couldn’t help the jealously niggle at me seeing her that close to him, that dependant on him but I had no right...she’d just lost her father.
“Your dad wanted to see you Jake...should I tell him you’ll see him later?” I asked, awkwardly. “No, I’ll go now then I’ll come right back.” He said, “I won’t be long.” He disentangled himself from Bella who just slumped back against the wall. “Is she ok?” I asked, Jake. “Stupid question Paul.” Jake said quietly, heading away from the house. “It’s cold out here Bella; do you want to go inside?” I asked, suddenly feeling very awkward being left with her. What did you say or do in this situation? She just shook her head in response and sat there. I sighed and went and sat next to her, at the very least she’d be warm. “You don’t have to babysit me you know.” She mumbled. “I know.” I replied. “But it’s freezing I thought you could use a heater.” The corners of her mouth twitched upwards but then her face suddenly cracked and sobs came out. I felt her lean against me and put my arm loosely over her shoulders as she cried. She was involved in this whole thing because of those stupid Cullen’s. If I ever saw that dick Edward Cullen I would tear him apart myself.While AFF and its agents attempt to remove all illegal works from the site as quickly and thoroughly as possible, there is always the possibility that some submissions may be overlooked or dismissed in error.
