Default Shot bear twice, need help

I hit a black bear with my bow tonight at 5:45 in western ny. The first 25 yard shot was a little far back but good for height. It was slightly quartering away. Got about 10-12" penatration. No smell to the blood on the arrow. Ok blood trail for the fist 10 yard then found arrow and backed out. The bear snapped and growled when hit.Then ran about 10 yards then curled up (poss pulling out arrow?) for 5 seconds then walked for 25 yards stopping twice for a few seconds. Then i shot it again in about the same spot on the body as the first at about 30 yards broadside. The bear did not snap and growl when hit the second time. It sounded like it ran a few yards down to a small creek and did not hear anymore noise. It was raining before i shot so the leaves were not crunchy. I left the stand at 6:20 and checked my first shot on the way out . Any idea on what i may have hit? Little info on the web for bear tracking. Would the arrow smell if i hit the liver. Would you get any blood if you hit the guts? Will this bear be dead in the morning?
