"Hello?" Emily answered after the second ring, Billy sighing with relief that she picked up quickly. He didn't know what he would have done if no one had been home, he wanted to call her a doctor but had to refrain himself from doing so; even if he thought she looked like she needed medical attention.
"It's Billy, I need to speak with Jacob" he quickly rushed out panicked, wanting to call an ambulance but after hearing the girls request something in him knew it would be a bad idea. He had yet been told what was up with her, but he knew whatever it was had to be important for her to want to deny any treatment from even the talented leech. He couldn't help but wonder how she knew what his first moves would be. He shook it off as coincidence, Emily quickly answering when she heard the panic in his tone.
"He's not here, is everything alright Billy?" Emily asked with concern, Billy frowning at the news that his son wasn't where Brooke had clearly expected him to be. Thankfully though he could suddenly hear Sam's low voice in the background as he talked with Emily, instantly knowing that Sam would know what to do. "Who's on the phone?" was all he let Sam get out before he interrupted, not letting Emily explain as he did so.
"Emily put Sam on the phone" Billy ordered quickly, hearing the rattle of the phone changing hands before Sam's concerned voice filled the line.
"What's-"
"Look you need to get over here, now!" Billy ordered panicked, knowing that if anything happened to Brooke Jacob would flip the hell out. The girl was his sons life, his world and the thought that his son could soon lose everything was making him more and more alarmed as the time grew on.
"Why?" Sam demanded, not denying the request but wanting to know what the hell was going on so he could be prepared. It couldn't have been a threat, Quil and Paul were patrolling and hadn't howled for help so La Push was more than a little safe.
"I don't know, fuck. Look Brooke just collapsed, she said Jacob was with you" he quickly rushed out, his eyes never leaving the unconscious girl as she didn't so much as twitch. Billy heard Sam shout a 'fuck' before saying they were heading over, Seth and Leah going to track down Jacob as the phone went dead.
Sam swore when he heard the news, knowing exactly where Jacob was since he let it slip when they were patrolling not to mention the Bella girl wouldn't shut up about it at the bonfire. Why that boy puts himself through her company was beyond him, instead of looking forward to it like he used to he was dreading leaving his imprint after inviting her round yet he still puts himself through the leech-lovers company.
Shaking his head he quickly grabbed the first aid kit Emily had under the sink…filling in his own imprint on the situation at hand as he did so. He knew he had to get around to Billy's as quickly as possible, the fact that Billy seemed more than a little panicked on the phone meaning that it had to be serious to have the normally calm elder so wound up.
"I'm coming with you" Emily quickly stated in a tone which Sam knew he had no hope in hell getting around even if he tried, his imprint having been a nurse when she was younger before giving it up and moving in with Sam on the reservation when she found out about them being soul-mates. She knew she could help, plus the last thing she wanted was to have to sit and worry about the poor girl when there was something that she could do. No, it was final she was going whether Sam liked it or not.
"Hurry up" Sam rushed, quickly but gently swinging her into his arms as she grabbed her first aid kid before he ran outside towards his truck, quickly pulling it into drive and making his way to Billy's as soon as he had Emily buckled up and seated.
"Shit" he cursed when he rushed into Jakes house only to take in the sickly pale complexion of the poor girl as she laid at an awkward angle on the floor out cold, Billy sitting near her in his wheelchair with a worried expression on his face as he gave a huge sigh of relief when he took note of Emily and Sam's presence. Thank god, he had been going out of his mind ringing around as he tried to find Jacob only for him not to be answering his phone and no-one knowing where his son was.
"Oh Brooke" Emily gasped, grabbing the first aid kit in her suddenly shaking hands before quickly heading over the to the girl to check her pulse. Everyone was on edge until Emily sighed out in relief, Sam not thinking straight as his head was filled with worry. If he wasn't so distracted he would have been able to take note that he could have heard her fluttering heartbeat as he ran his hand through his hair repeatedly in a nervous gesture. Where the fuck was Jacob?
"Why didn't you call an ambulance?" Sam asked Billy accusingly, not meaning to snap but the idea alone that something bad could happen was enough to set both him and his wolf on edge. He knew that once Jacob found out he would be gutted and extremely territorial, hell he wondered why he wasn't here already since he should have felt that something was wrong with his imprint through the bond the two of them shared.
"She told me not to Sam" Billy said defensively, suddenly doubting his decision not to call for help, but by the widening of Sam's eyes and the understanding in his gaze made Billy wonder what they all knew about that he and the elders had yet to learn. He again found himself frowning, internally kicking himself what he realised that he really did need to find out all the facts concerning his sons imprint.
"Sorry for snapping, can I move her Emily?" Sam apologised, taking note of how uncomfortably the girl had fallen. Jacob was going to flip he thought with a wince, what the fuck was the boy thinking!
"I don't think it's a good idea Sam, she hasn't broken anything thankfully but I wouldn't move her just yet" Emily explained, going into nurse mode as she scanned the girl over with assessing eyes before focusing on her aggressively torn palms and stained shirt. "Bloody hell" she found herself whispering, quickly cleaning up her hands as she thought about what the hell could have caused the girl to act this way.
Hearing his phone ring Sam quickly answered it hoping it was good news, Leah's worried voice filtering through as everyone in the room had their eyes focused on the pale girl as Emily tended to her. Thankfully Emily had mentioned she should be alright, but his wolf was pacing in his mind at the thought of something happening to not only his alpha female but his pack sister. She may not be the official alpha female yet, Jacob not having claimed his rightful position, but that didn't mean his wolf didn't see her in that way already, even without it being official.
"Leah" he greeted tensely, the concern in her voice easily recognised with her rushed reply.
"Is she ok?" was her immediate response to his greeting, Sam frowning as he kept a close eye on his imprint as she continued to tend to a still unconscious Brooke.
"I don't know, you find Jacob?" he asked hopefully, knowing that Brooke must have known what was happening to ask for him. He just couldn't believe Jacob had lied to her, they seemed to close even in the few days they had known each other and he couldn't help by wonder why.
"Yep, holy shit Sam he's flipping out. Just…fuck mind yourselves when he gets there" she warned, he could picture her cringing and he quickly went to stand in the entrance of the door in case Jacob came barging inside. The last thing they needed was a furious werewolf who saw everything as a threat to his mate, his alpha commands wouldn't work on him, especially when it was down to his imprint.
Jacob felt his paws barely touching the ground as he legged it through the woods as quickly as he possibly could, pushing himself harder than he had ever before causing him to cover more ground quicker. He couldn't believe it when Leah told him the news that something had happened to Brooke, immediately losing control to his wolf as he soon found himself phased and in the woods before he could think straight. What the hell had he been thinking leaving her, he should have woken her up for fucks sake to check on her!
He growled, his lip curving up into a silent snarl as he found himself getting closer and closer to his mate within seconds. He could barely register the confused thoughts of Quil and Paul as they tried to find out what was going on, his thoughts going too quick for them to get anything on the apparent situation and Jacob definitely wasn't in the mood to talk.
He was still internally kicking himself, knowing that the feeling he got when he was with Bella had been why his wolf had been trying desperately to fight for control was down to Brooke. Why had he ignored it? Oh that's right, Bella just had to go and fall didn't she! He knew it wasn't an excuse, and the guilt was raking inside of him as he quickly pounced through the woods at a speed which should have been impossible.
Sam could hear his fast approach; feel the tension from the rightful alphas body as his sensitive hearing picked up on the pounding of the boys paws on the ground as he made no effort to slow down as he continued to approach. Shit!
"Emily get back" Sam warned without moving from his position, his eyes never leaving their position on the woods where he knew Jacob was going to pounce out from as he strongly warned his imprint. Jacob was going to be extremely territorial when he saw Brooke; he didn't want his imprint in his way when Jacob returned in case he saw her as a possible threat to his mate.
"Sam you can't be serious, she needs help" Emily frowned before noticing how tense her man was. She bit her lip, looking at the still unconscious girl before slowly moving away with reluctance. It was then she noticed she was crying, using her fingers to wipe her face as she went to stand next to a still concerned looking Billy. Sam rarely told her what to do in such a manner, but when he did she knew to follow her man and not argue.
"How's he going to react?" Billy asked quietly as he like all of them feared his son's reaction when he caught sight of Brooke lying on the floor of his kitchen, Emily had said the girl would be fine and that it was only a matter of time before she came out of it but it looked a lot worse than it actually was.
"To be honest Billy, I just don't know" was all Sam got out as a reply before Jacobs large wolf came through the entrance of the woods at an incredible speed, the sheer size of it shocking Sam slightly since he seemed to realise that he had in fact grown slightly. Jacob's wolf was already massive in size, but now Sam couldn't help but take in the fact that it looked like Jacobs' wolf was actually bigger than his. It shocked him slightly, though he resisted the urge to grin at the thought of Jacob coming into his birth-right since he needed to keep a clear mind for the situation at hand.
Sam quickly made his way outside, telling Emily to stay put as he slowly approached the rapidly approaching wolf. He swallowed; this was not going to go well.
"Jacob you need to calm down" Sam stated as calmly as he could when he was currently facing a snarling wolf that was about three times his size at the minute. Jacobs large white canines dripping with saliva as he snarled viciously, his ears were pressed back against his head in a position of attack that had Sam shaking "She needs to you be calm" he added, breathing a sigh of relief when he saw the russet-coloured wolf shimmer before a broken looking and yellow eyed Jacob appeared in his sight.
"How, how is she?" he managed to gasp out, his eyes watering as he literally fought the urge to rip into anyone in his way. His muscles literally twitched in anticipation to do so, Sam zoning in on the aggressive action causing him to swallow thickly, trying to smother down the fear which wanted to rise within him. Now was not the time.
"She's fine Jacob, unconscious but she's going to be alright" Sam stated before he found himself thrown to the side as Jacob pushed his way into his house, not caring for the fact he was completely naked as he froze when he saw his angel laying on the floor. Baby…
Everyone watched him carefully, not knowing his next move until he quickly ran over to his imprint to gather her up in his arms as tears leaked down his cheeks. They had never seen him so broken before; they couldn't help but let their hearts ache for him as they stayed quiet as his muscles tensed and rippled. They knew however distracted he may have seemed with his mate that he was aware of each and every breath which fell from their lips, his sensitive hearing picking up on each of their movements as he saw everyone as a threat.
"I am so sorry baby" he murmured into her hair over and over again, needing everything to be alright. She had to be ok; Sam said she would be ok!
He didn't know how long he sat there, vaguely aware of the rest of the pack coming in before he gathered up his mate and took her into his room for comfort and privacy, he didn't want to deal with them yet. His wolf was screaming and snarling at him to destroy everyone near her but he managed to resist the urge, just, but that didn't mean he wanted anyone other than himself near his mate when she was so vulnerable.
As he laid her down as gently as he could he couldn't help but run his fingers over her pale cheek, feeling how cold she was as he did so. What had he been thinking? Never again, never again would he be leaving her! All of this could have been avoided if he hadn't of lied to her, hadn't of told her that he was with Sam when he wasn't….nope, never again would he be anything other than honest with her.
"Wake up baby, wake up" he pleaded, his wolf whimpering at the sight of their injured mate as she laid out cold on the rumpled sheets of his bed. When Leah had told him that something was seriously wrong with his love he had never felt something so painful, he had never felt so terrified in his life that something had happened to the girl who held his whole world in her hands. That was the last time he was dismissing a feeling he was unsure of, he should have known his wolf was trying to tell him something as he acted mainly on instinct! What the fuck had he been thinking?
