Blood-Moon

Chapter 2

Three months Later

 ---------------------

The Cullen's were on their way to Wyoming again because last week Stephen had called and informed Carlisle that he had indeed finished his schooling. Carlisle was in a car with Jasper and Alice, while Rose was in a van with Emmett. Alice was all happy and talking about how she and Stephen would be best friends and how she would take shopping and put him in much better clothes. Jasper was telling her to calm down because he felt Stephen's emotions and how it would take him a while to get used to everything because he was timid. Alice started to pout when Jasper told her that, then it turned into a smile.

Carlisle looked into the center mirror, " Yeah, we got to make sure he is comfortable with us first, Alice. Even if he gets better with us, we must take it slowly."

Alice just crossed her arms and pouted while looking out of the window. Jasper smiled and started to play with her hair.

While they were about thirty minutes from his house Alice got a vision; when she was done, she looked worried and yelled at Carlisle to immediately get to his home.

Carlisle looked worried, " Why, what's wrong, Alice? What did you see." he said, yelling back.

Alice, worried, said, " Stephen is hurt."

-----------------------------------------------

"I figured I would die, just not this way," Stephen said as he spat some blood out of his mouth.

About an hour before the Cullen arrived, Stephen was packing some of the things he could pack without anyone's help when five men broke into his house, and he recognized them as locals of his town. Stephen knew people were afraid of him because of what happened to his family, but he never predicted that they would harm him. They came in with bats, and they beat him. His legs were broken, but when the first person swung, he tried to block his face with his hand, which broke his hand. They beat him for about 15 mins, then they left.

Stephen, after they left, tried to fix himself the best he could, but he was in and out of consciousness. He tried his best, but when he closed his eyes to die, his front door broke open, and he could see Carlisle run over to him.

"Stephen... Stephen, wake up, buddy, don't close your eyes" He turned to Alice, " Alice, go to our Vehicle and put the back, sit down, and take Jasper."

Jasper and this point were fighting the urge to run at Stephen, but Alice got in front of him and grabbed his arm, and told him to follow her. " Yes... Ma'am."

He looked at Rose and told her to tell Alice to take her and Jasper into the desert for a while. Rose left the house quickly at a human pace. He looked towards Emmett next, "Emmett, I need you on this one. Just help me stop the bleeding so we can get him into the car."

Emmett nodded

Stephen was in and out but getting a tad bit better still in pain, which Carlisle gave him something for it. They soon brought him into the back of the car when Stephen could speak a little.

Stephen's eyes were covered in blood, so he could not see, especially with it being nighttime.

"Carlisle... Carlisle?" he screamed.

Carlisle quickly said, " Yeah, buddy; I am here. I'll fix you."

Stephen was trying to say some words, but they were barely words. Carlisle could hear a few words.

" The hard drives, Painting, and the safe," Stephen said weakly

Carlisle nodded a little, " Emmett, Rose, in that house, go to his Workshop and grab all the hard drives but be careful with them, then there is a safe in the Living Room. I think that is the one he asked for and his family photo framed on the wall."
