~Pauls POV~

I helped Kiarra down the stairs, keeping my distance with touches and words. I was still trying to comprehend what just happened. My mind was reeling with images and the screams of her in pain. Once we got to the front door I let her go giving her a small nudge towards the front yard. I needed to compose myself for a few minutes before I could be of any help. I was not prepared for the process of labor. 

"How are you doing Paul?" Emily asked coming downstairs and wiping her hands off. 

"Uh im ok, just trying to get my head clear of the screams and blood, so much blood." I breathed taking a few deep breaths.

"You've dealt with her blood before." she laughed laying a hand on my arm in a comforting manner. 

"Yes, however, this was different, I wasn't trying to actively revive her and so I wasn't able to block out the blood

"Yes, however, this was different, I wasn't trying to actively revive her and so I wasn't able to block out the blood. And it's not the fact that it was blood. It was her blood, anytime shes hurt it make me furious. The other times I could do something about, but not this time." I snarled huffing at her in annoyance.

"I see. Well im gonna go to the kitchen. Oh, and Paul, for future that wasn't the normal amount of blood, it was about triple. If it wasn't for you and Rosalie then she would've died, again. Shes probably still bleeding more than normal." Emily said with a sad smile on her face. I nodded and took another deep breath before going out into the front yard. 

"Deal" Carl snapped with a nasty smile that made a growl rip through my throat. The moment he finished speaking several flashes of lightning struck the front yard causing many of us to jump out of the way with hair standing on end. 

"No, you can't be serious Kiarra

"No, you can't be serious Kiarra. After all, you've done to overcome this. you mean to tell me you are just gonna leave with him?" Edwards snarled getting in her face. I was confused, leave with him what does that mean, why would she leave with him. I missed something and it was not gonna end well. 

"Yes. Im sorry, to all of you, im sorry. But this is the only way. I need to keep you all safe, you are my family. Enough blood has been shed since I've been here. Not to mentions all the mental pain I've caused you all. Don't worry ill live, im hard to kill remember?" she said quietly turning around the field looking at everyone but me. I noticed she avoided eye contact with me, making me more confused as to what was about to happen. I watched as she took a few steps backward towards Carl. And that's when it hit, she was sacrificing herself for the rest of us. The shock of this realization had me frozen in place. I couldn't believe she would do that after all he did to her, she's gonna give herself up.
