Suddenly the door flew open, making flinch and huddle closer to Jacob who growled angrily and lifted his head to see who was at the door.
"Jacob" one of the twins said "We caught a hunter on our territory"
**************************************
Celena
The words sent to a state of panic, I started breathing quicker and shivering. I heard Jacob curse angrily and tell the guy who ca to leave. Suddenly his face was in front of mine, hands framing my face softly
"Calm down, I’m here and they won’t ever get you. I promise" Jacob said gently and the more he talked the more I found myself calming down, just like before. I was still scared. I admitted as much to him and he imdiately engulfed in another hug, reassuring that he would never let anyone hurt .
We sat there for a while before I fell asleep in his arms.
When I woke up I was alone. I stood up from the bed groggily and looked at the door, hesitant about going out. But I knew I had to. Everyone was distracted with the hunter and though I was terrified I knew I had to go back and wait for Brett. If the hunters were here it ant that Brett was too. I got out and walked slowly towards the stairs when I heard a shout that had freezing in my tracks
not just for the fact that it sounded tortured but because it was a voice I’d recognize anywhere.
It was Brett’s.
I ran as fast as I could towards the voice, it was coming from the basents. As I ran I felt a pair of arms wrap around .
"Celena don’t be scared. You’re safe don’t worry" I heard the voice of one of the girls I had seen before around the house. I kept pushing her away but she kept holding on to "trust you don’t wanna see this"
I made a sound of frustration before using all of my power to push her off of . Surprisingly I managed to shove her to the ground before I ran down the stairs. The sight I was greeted with made freeze in horror.
Brett was in a cell, covered in blood with Jacob and so other guys surrounding him."NO" I yelled surprising them all as I ran into the cell. Jacob maneuvered to catch but I ducked past him and ran straight to Brett who was on his knees.
"Brett? Brett?" I repeated his na as I lifted his face, looking into his half-lidded eyes. I saw a faint smile tug at his lips
"little lamb" he choked out and I could feel my eyes watering "I was...worried"
"I’m fine" I sobbed "And you’re going to be fine too. I promise"
He smiled and then suddenly his body sagged and he fell against . "Brett? Brett!" I panicked, I couldn’t lose Brett. I couldn’t.
"Help him" I scread finally looking up at the astonished faces of the n around "Please" I looked at Jacob pleadingly "Please. I’m begging you, help him...please" I sobbed, hugging Brett to "I’ll do anything...I’ll stay and do whatever you want. Just please...save him"
Jacob looked behind and then nodded in confirmation before reaching towards . "NO!" I screeched holding Brett closer to
"We’re going to help him, Celena. I promise. But you have to let him go. Ethan just called for Miranda to co and take care of him. We won’t hurt him" Jacob said as the woman who had treated walked into the room, I slowly let go of Brett and watched as Brett got carried out of the room. I imdiately stood up and ran after them, ignoring Jacob’s cries. I watched as they carried Brett into a room similar to the one I woke up in when I was sick but when I tried to get in the woman told everyone to get out so she could work on him.
I went outside and slid down the wall. It was Brett. Brett was here and he was hurt. Jacob and the others hurt him. I felt ashad for starting to trust him. I looked down at myself and saw that I was covered in blood.
I stared at the blood coating my hands as tears filled my eyes till i could barely see anything.
"Celena" The voice made my head snap up and I saw Jacob staring down at , his expression unreadable
"S-stay away from " I whispered tiredly, just monts before I had been hugging him,soone who hurt Brett
"You need so rest" Jacob said, ignoring my statent "And to wash up"
"You h-hurt him" I said accusingly "He might die"
"It wasn’t us" Jacob said "I an we didn’t get him help right away because we thought he’d give us the information easier if he was already in pain. But we weren’t the ones that hurt him."
