Meanwhile in the Vampire Realm
Jacob had finally reached Bella's room, he opened the door, while still carrying her and he switched on the lights.
Jacob gently laid Bella on her Bed, he looked at her now sleepy peaceful face softly and made his way out of the room.
Jacob looked at himself, he finally realized that he had been sweating, he decided to take a shower.
Jacob walked towards the direction of his room, it was not close to where everyone else's own room was, rather his room was in the far north of the Castle, he knew that place like the back of his hand as he grew up there.
He opened the door to his room and switched on the lights, he closed the open window, and proceeded to the bathroom, he didn't know why but for some reason he just felt very bad and he did not know what could calm him down.
The water was very hot, it caused steam to form around the glass of the bathroom, only one word was going through his mind and that was "Why?"
"Why would Bella jump in front of a bullet for him?" he thought to himself
"Just why?"
"Could it be that she..." said Jake
"No she can't, not after I have been so mean to her, ignoring her and avoiding her" he said
"And even when she came along with me. and said that we needed to talk, I ignored her till the last minute so why?" asked Jacob as his thoughts were running wild.
The Clock struck 12 and Lucas, Lucinda, John and Lisa had finally returned from their double date.
Lisa and John bade Lucas and Lucinda goodnight and they made their way to their rooms and so did Lucinda and Lucas.
Not long after Lucinda and Lucas entered their room, there was a knock on the door.
"Who could that be?" asked Lucinda as she walked towards the door, while Lucas was taking a shower.
Lucinda opened the door and she saw Jacob standing outside.
"Oh, Hello Jake, is there something I can help you with?" she asked
"Yes... it's Bella something happened and she got hurt" said Jacob
"Huh??" said Lucinda as her eyes filled with worry, she looked like was about to leave the room in search of Bella right that instant.
"Where is she? what happened??" she asked worriedly.
"Luc relax okay, she is fine now, I put her in her room" said Jacob
That seemed to calm Lucinda down and she sighed a sigh of relief.
"Lucy who is at the door?" asked Lucas as he dried his hair with a towel.
"Luke it's Jake, he said something happened to Bella" said Lucinda
"What happened??" asked Lucas
"She got hurt... because of me" said Jacob
"How?" asked Lucas suspiciously
"I will explain later but first, Luc I need you to check on her, she still has not woken up and it is starting to worry me" said Jacob
Once Lucinda heard that Bella had not woken up, she dashed out of the room, towards the direction of Bella's room, without looking back.
Lucas threw the towel he used to dry his hair on the bed and said
"Come on let's go, you have a lot of explaining to do" said Lucas as he walked out the door after Lucy and Jacob followed behind him.
Meanwhile in the Witch Realm
"Curtis Azazel said that he wants to make a deal with me, In one year I will train Annie to master her powers and after the one year, we will battle and if he wins he gets to kill Annie, but if Annie wins she gets to kill him" explained Stella swiftly.
"That sound too good to be true" said Curtis as he seemed to be thinking.
"Yes of course it does, and I am stuck of which decision to take" said Stella
"If I agree, A war will probably break out, and if I do not agree Azazel will continue to attack Annie and all of us till we cannot take it anymore" said Stella
"So what are you going to decide?" asked Curtis
"Well if I agree, it is a benefit for us considering Annie's current power level and it gives us some time to train her of the basics" said Stella
"But at the same time, it is too risky, we are giving Azazel a chance to trick us, Ahh I do not know what to do" said Stella as she was frustrated
"Stella relax" said Curtis calmly
He really did not seem to show much emotion with the kind of situation they were in right now.
"Okay I will relax, and I know what I must do" said Stella
"What?" asked Curtis
"I need to go and see the King and Queen" said Stella
Meanwhile back in the Vampire Realm.
Lucinda, Lucas and Jacob were all together in Bella's room.
Lucinda checked Bella's temperature with the back of her hand.
"Her temperature is fine, she's just sleeping, I think she should be awake soon" said Lucinda as she looked at Jacob and Lucas that were standing behind her.
"Now tell me what happened" said Lucinda as she stood up Bella's side and walked over to Lucas and Jacob.
"Well, she insisted on following me to a mission and I let her, long story short we got ambushed by an unknown force, I was targeted and Bella took the shot for me" said Jacob
"She was in critical condition, like her whole body was shutting down on her, her heartbeat was irregular and she was sweating, I quickly rushed her back here and the children were in the living room luckily they managed to stabilize her" said Jacob
"Witches Brew" said Lucinda
"What did you say Luc?" asked Lucas
"Witches Brew" said Lucinda
"That's what the bullet was made off" said Lucinda
"What is Witches Brew?" asked Jacob
"Witches Brew is the deadliest poison in all the Witch Realm" said Lucinda
"What makes it so powerful is that, one of the most important ingredients to make it is Witches Blood which makes it a double sided poison"
"If a Witch gets poisoned by Witches Brew, there is a high chance that they will survive if it was administered in a low dose, the Witches Immune System will fight off the poison and they should be fine with no effects" said Lucinda
"But if even a little dose is used on a Vampire, Human or Werewolf, it would spell instant death" said Lucinda grimly
"Then it means that the Poison was in a high dose, that must be why Bella is not awake yet" said Jacob
"When Annie was trying to help, she touched the poison and she said it burned" said Jacob
"Wait will Annie be alright considering she touched the poison?" asked Lucas
"She should be fine, if it only burned it means that it was a little dose, a simple healing spell should help speed recovery process" said Lucinda
"Annie is Fine, I heard that Maddie healed her finger for her" said Jacob
Lucinda walked over Bella's bed, and she laid her hand on her and muttered a spell, a bright light shined as she laid her hand on Bella's head.
"There, I just performed a detoxifying spell, to help her body to heal itself faster" said Lucinda as she opened her eyes.
"What Spell did Annie use to stabilize Bella?" asked Lucinda
"I am not sure, I think it was a healing spell" said Jacob
"That's good then" said Lucinda
"It was a good thing that Bella took the bullet for you, or else there would be another story right now" said Lucinda
"That means that the rouges are getting help from the Witches, for them to be able to get such a potent poison" said Lucas
"I agree with that. but I could not sense any other witches presences except for Bella's, and when I sent my men to check the area they were unable to find anything" said Jacob
"Then it is definitely rouge Vampires who did this, and Azazel is involved" said Lucas
"I have to tell my Father Immediately" said Lucas
"Okay Luke Jake relax, it's very late already, lets just go to sleep and settle everything tomorrow" said Lucinda
"Oh and Jake, don't beat yourself too much, Bella will be fine, Goodnight" said Lucinda as she patted Jacob on the back and walked out of the room.
"Lucy is right Jake, it was not your fault, go get some rest, we will talk in the Morning" said Lucas
"Alright, Goodnight Luke" said Jacob
"Goodnight" said Lucas as he smiled at his friend and left the room.
Jacob turned to look at Bella once again, she looked very peaceful and gentle in this state, he pulled put the dressing table's chair and sat down on it next to Bella's bed, as he was waiting for her to wake up.
