Protected- Jacob Black Love story {Book 1}

{16}

In her dream she was running. Running faster than she had ever run before. The forest was a blur as she passed through the trees. She leapt over rocks and fallen trees landing with a hard thud on the ground. She kept running until she heard heavy footsteps behind her.

She ran even faster but the footsteps caught up to her. Her body was hit by a massive force and she was flung sideways into the trees. She crashed into what seamed like every branch possible. When she finally landed back on the ground she just lay there and tried to get the feeling back in her limbs.

A howl ripped through the night and she sat straight up. She knew that howl from somewhere, maybe a past life? She looked around and saw that she was sitting in a clearing. A heat rose up her back and she quickly sat up. Fire engulfed the the trees surrounding the clearing. Across the way and shadowy figure slowly walked towards her. She tried to use her powers but they wouldn't work. She tried to summon her wolf from inside her but no growl came and she wasn't able to phase.

The howls grew closer and she knew that help was coming. But, the figure stalked even closer to her and she began to panic. There was nowhere that she could run. Through the fire, she saw the wolves had come at last. They bounced around the fire but could find no way in.

Just as the shadow got close enough to touch her and load growl sounded through the air. A tan mass flew over her head and stood in front of her, protecting her from the shadow. She stumbled back and saw that it was another wolf. She wondered for a second how it was the only one that had gotten through the flames. The wolf bent down, it wanted her to get on. Without a question she obeyed. The wolf was warm and she felt safe with it. She couldn't explain it but she wasn't scared anymore.

A load, screech pierced the night from the fiery trees behind them. She saw the shadow chasing them as she looked back. The wolf beneath her ran faster but the shadow was too fast for it. It collided with them and they tumbled to the ground, she was thrown from the wolfs back.

She rolled and landed near the edge of a cliff and when she looked down she saw dark, swashing waters. Growls and screeches reached her ears and she look up to see the shadow and wolf fighting each other.

"No," She yelled.

The shadow looked over and made it's way for her but the wolf tore it in two as it latched onto it's neck. The shadow burst into a force of air. It sent Amelie flying over the edge of the cliff. The last thing she saw that the wolf staring over the edge and heard it's agonizing howl before she hit the water. Her body screamed in immense pain before she felt nothing else.

"Amelie! Amelie!"

"Nooooo!" Amelie screamed and fought against the hands that were holding her. Her heart had never beat as fast as it was and she couldn't stop the tears falling from her eyes. She opened them and saw Alice right in front of her.

"Get off me, Alice!" She said forcefully. She rolled over and buried her face in her pillow, trying to forget about her dream.

Alice had had enough and grabbed Amelie and slung her up. When she opened her eyes again, she was no longer looking at just Alice, but Jasper, Carlisle, Emmett and Edward.

"Where's Bella?" Edward asked her frantically.

"She's not here?"

Jasper shook his head, "No, we just got up."

"The ballet studio."

Without any other word Emmett grabbed Amelie so fast she didn't know what was going on until he threw her over his shoulder and carried her outside into the dark and once again, she was slung into the back of his Jeep.

"Amelie, tell us how to get there, Edward's gone ahead." Carlisle demanded.

"I don't know!" Amelie shouted back.

"I can get us there, Just drive!" Alice said.

Carlisle sped through the roads and traffic. It seamed like the cars were just jumping out of the way. A rage like never before filled Amelie. She wolf inside her growled. The energy within her veins surged and her hands quivered. Before she knew it they were outside the Ballet studio. Everyone made to get of the car but Emmett bared her way.

"No way. I'm not letting you get hurt. Or kill yourself." He said.

Amelie sent a gush of air out and blasted him back, "Like hell Emmett. I'm not your kid."

She followed Alice into the studio and almost had a heart attack. Edward and James were struggling for power at the side of the room. Amelie was pissed. As soon as Edward let go on James she blasted him back into the corner of the studio causing all the mirrors to shatter. Emmett, Jasper and Alice ran after him while Edward and Carlisle ran behind Amelie. She spun around and saw her sister writhing on the floor.

She ran to her and put Bella's head in her lap.

"Dammit, Bella hold on. You're not dying on me yet," She said, the volume of her voice rising, she turned to Carlisle. "Do something!" She yelled.

"Her femoral artery has been severed, she's loosing to much blood," Carlisle told her and Edward.

"My hand is burning," Bella cried.

There was nothing that Amelie could do and she felt hopeless.

"It's the venom." Edward said blankly.

"You have to make a choice to prevent the change from happening." Carlisle told Edward.

"No, No!"

Alice appeared and held Bella's legs down, "It's going to happen Edward, I've seen it happen."

"It doesn't have to happen. She's hemorrhaging. Alice, I need to make a tunicate, give me your belt.

"Carlisle, what's my other option?" Edward begged him.

Amelie finally had enough him, "Edward, you're the only one that can save her. So if you let her change, that's fine, that's on you. But I won't let you sit here and have here suffer while you battle with your moral conscience. If you don't save her I will."

Edward stared at her with tears in his eyes before looking back at Bella.

"I'll make it go away Bella, I'll make it go away." He whispered.

If it weren't such a dire situation she probably would have thrown up at the sight. Edward was drinking her sisters blood from the wound on her wrist. Amelie wanted nothing more than to blast Edward away and put a shield between her sister and him but he was saving her life.

She watched as Bella calmed down and stopped jerking but her eyes began to droop way to much to be from comfort only.

"Edward stop! Her blood is clean, you're killing her!" Carlisle yelled.

Amelie was crying at this point, "Edward, stop!"

Edward launched him self back from Bella and stood in the corner with his head between his hands to calm him down.

"Alice, help me carry her to the car." Carlisle told Alice.

Bella was lifted from Amelie's arm and she just sat there, numb. She looked over at the fire that was once James and stared at it blankly. She was so tired. She looked down and saw that they were still shaking with energy. Some one walked up to her from behind and grabbed her trembling hands.

"Come on, Amelie," Emmett said gently.

He lifted her to her feet by the arms and held her to his side to stop her from collapsing as they walked outside to meet the others.
