chapter eighteen. eyes of red
THE human blood they had given Bella seemed to work wonders for her. Her pulse had increased; she became stronger than she was before, and her baby seemed to be less restless. Despite Georgine not enjoying the fact that her best friend had to drink another person's blood, if it was working, she'd ignore the disgust that resided within her.
Blood bags after blood bags were emptied into cups for the human━━Bella was slowly but surely becoming more like herself, once more. The only difference was the pregnant stomach she carried around.
Every now and again, Bella had been calling up her father, checking in with him and making sure he wasn't becoming too suspicious. Their excuse had been that Bella had suddenly come down with some horrible illness, and they didn't want Charlie Swan around his daughter in case he caught it, too. In a twisted way, Georgine supposed there was some truth behind it. She didn't like the idea of calling the baby an illness━━but it kind of was. Bella was human, carrying an immortal child that the inevitable ability to kill her. If that wasn't a dangerous illness, Georgine Brodeur didn't know what was.
The more she thought about it, Georgine felt bad for Charlie. His only daughter had only just come back to him after so many years, and already, at the age of 18, she was married and pregnant. (He didn't know she was pregnant, of course, but that was besides the point). Charlie had no idea what was happening to his daughter, he was out of the loop. But, they couldn't tell him the truth for the same reason they couldn't tell Sandra, Georgine's mother, the truth. It would only put them in danger. The family was trapped within a web of lies, ones they couldn't unravel themselves from, but stayed within to keep those they loved most safe.
A few days had passed, and the moon had cascaded itself down unto the forest. Georgine was keeping guard from just moments away from the house, watching as Jacob started the plan. The Cullens needed to feed, and they couldn't do that when the wolves were constantly surrounding the perimeter, waiting for their chance to strike. So, they came up with the idea of Jacob going out to distract them, so Carlisle, Esme and Emmett could sneak past them without any confrontation. From where she was standing, it seemed to be working.
Jacob was talking to the wolves, demanding that he came to speak with them so they'd take Leah and Seth back. The latter pair hadn't known about the plan, so their shouts of disbelief and protests were genuine.
For a second, it seemed as though the plan would work the entire way through. But, then, Georgine heard something. Wolves growling, hurried steps, panted breath. They had managed to trick some of them, but not all of them.
