CECILIA WATCHED EDWARD with careful eyes as he ripped a piece of Bella's flannel, wrapping it softly around her cut wrist.
„Why did you do it?" Bella asked, voice soft from the sacrifice her friend had done. Cecilia sent her a lovefilled smile.
„I don't know, I guess because I thought if one of us wasn't hurt, we had a higher chance to survive." she spoke, the swan girl nodding.
Seth nudged her healthy arm, the girl petting him. The adrenaline was slowly leaving the girls bodies, the pain from the broken and cut wrist slowly becoming more apparent.
„Alice needs us to leave now." he said, Bella nodding at his words.
Fire was thrown and Victoria's body quietly burned to ashes and the team of four went back to where the fight was held at, Paul awaiting his imprints arrival after hearing that everyone survived.
Cecilia was on Seth's back, the boy trying to run and carefully as he could seeing that the brunette was holding onto him with only one hand. Her face was becoming pale, her forehead losing cold sweat — her body weakening by the minute due to the pain and loss of blood.
Bella and Edward had arrived just a minute before the wolf and imprint did, Jacob quickly coming up to the pair. She looked up to see the cold ones, Jaspers face crunching up at the feelings the human felt. Rosalie watched her with a pitiful expression, feeling a bit of love for the girl. Maybe that was just how everyone would feel for someone who almost lost their live for a vampire.
Carlisle was quicker than Cecilia could catch next to her, hand caressing her cheek as she was still laying flat on top of Seths back, feet dangling of his sides.
„She's weak but she won't die from the wound. Thank you." he nodded to her, the girl just squishing her eyes shot as an answer.
„I'll get to you as quick as I can." he spoke and it was then that Jacob caught sight of another vampire, Leah jumping to kill him and Jacob coming to help. And that's when the vampire took a hold of his shoulder and broke his entire side of the body.
Adrenaline was back and Cecilia's head was feeling dizzy as she quickly stumbled off of Seth, the boy not liking the way Cecilia moved while being in such condition.
Paul and Jared quickly came to a rescue, killing off the vampire that was left and then running into the woods quickly. Jacob was lying on the ground, Bella and Cecilia quickly running up to him.
The younger brunette fell to her knees, tears running again.
„Fuck, Jacob." she shrieked, Carlisle taking a look on his body with a stern look sent towards Cecilia, not liking her movement either.
„Bones on the right half of the body are shattered."
The blonde spoke, Cecilia's hand that was fine coming up to hold his face.
„You're gonna be okay, understand." she panicked, Paul quickly running up to his imprint.
He softly grabbed the girl as the pack took a hold onto his body, swiftly lifting him up and leaving the scene.
The girls body turned quickly then, arm thrown around Paul's neck as he held her close, breathing in her smell. He didn't want to let her go, the previous hours were like torture for the young man.
„Paul," she breathed, the man still hiding his face in her neck.
He didn't say anything and he didn't have to, she knew he was listening and it was her turn to talk.
„I love you."
THE PAIR HAD LEFT as soon as he picked her up, Carlisles order being to not let her move to much. After the confession, he had just kissed her cheek, to emotional to actually answer but she knew what he felt, he had told her already.
The walk was quick and quiet, the girl dozing off into a sleep every now and then.
When they arrived, they waited infront of Jacobs house, Cecilia laying on a blanket Billy had pulled out for her, placed on the porch as she didn't want to stay inside while Carlisle rebroke his bones. Seth sat next to her, Paul standing leaning against a rock. He was too angry to sit down and didn't want his imprint to feel what he felt and Seth was joy in person and every person that way standing there knew that he calmed her down a bit.
„You know, without you I'd be dead." the boy smiled at her, Cecilia chuckling weakly at that. Billy looked at the girl he loved as a daughter, eyes glassy as he watched her weak state.
„You're very brave, my love." the man said, cringing when he heard the screaming of his son.
„Thank you." she smiled, Paul's eyes softening while watching how everyone treated his imprint with love.
Bella arrived after a while, and Paul hissed at Leah when she made a remark of how she could have taken the vampire herself.
Carlisle had walked out shortly after Bella had arrived, softly stroking Cecilia's hair.
He had stitched up her wound and laid a bandage over her wrist. He had said that her wrist was broken harshly and the pain would vanish with the medications he gave her. A blood transfusion wasn't needed.
Paul had nodded at the man, the action shocking everyone and Billy had thanked the vampire by shaking his hand.
Cecilia was slowly sitting up, feet touching the ground as she did so. She looked up at the blonde man, his eyes finding hers for a second, pity yet again sent towards her as he talked to Bella. And Cecilia felt her heart ache just slightly at the fact that the coming words weren't sent her way but she knew that Jacob's heart wasn't hers anymore the day Bella came into his life, and she had to accept that.
„He's asking for you."
The girl looked at everyone for a second, eyes finally landing on a saddened Cecilia.
„It's okay, take care of him please." the girl said, Bella nodding sadly.
How she wished things would have gone differently for Cecilia.
