“No!” I screamed. Sam and Quil pulled Phil’s large wolf form off of Jacob and to the side, trying to calm him down. Embry ran to Jacob’s side. Leah was calm now, most likely due to the shock of what all went down in the matter of thirty seconds. All the Cullens scattered because of the blood (they had amazing self control, but they still would leave when human blood is spilt), but Edward and Carlisle stayed behind. Edward was holding a sobbing Bella and Carlisle was at our side.

“Let me see him,” he said to Embry.

“No. Let me,” I told him. He looked at me curiously and nodded.

“I’ll stay here to help.”

“He won’t need it,” the calmness in my voice seemed to startle everyone. “Embry, can you get some towels to clean up? Carlisle, lay him on his stomach.” They all did what I asked without questions. They were confused at my behavior, but did what I asked to help Jacob.

“You’re going to work your magic on me?” Jacob said to me. I nodded, noticing Carlisle look at me oddly because of these words. “I heal on my own, you know. But these wounds will take a while.” I nodded again and placed my hands on his bloody wounds, one wound at a time. I held my hands gently over each spot for a few seconds each, removing them only to reveal blood-covered skin. After a minute all the wounds were gone and it appeared that someone only splattered blood on him. He smiled up at me, “Thanks.”

Everyone just looked at me. I couldn’t bare the stares. I ran. I was so embarrassed. I wasn’t looking where I was running, but I ended up at our fallen tree. I walked down to the water’s edge to clean off the blood. That’s when I heard him behind me.

“That was better than I thought,” Jacob sat next to me. “I knew it would be cool to see, and even though I didn’t really see anything, it was still amazing.” He looked at the area of his shoulder that only moments ago was just exposed bone. “Not even a mark. It didn’t even hurt when you touched it. I felt a warmth coming from your hand, which was odd, but it was nice.”
