It was dark. It was raining. I ran fast through the dark green forest. My pack was close behind me, wondering where I was going. I felt their emotions. None of them were pleasant… none of them were happy. I ran into a clearing. Johnny sniffed around and Jamie watched him. The rest of the pack was looking at me now, still not sure of where I was going. I changed into my human disguise.
"Get away from me." Jamie changed too and walked up behind me and put her hand on my shoulder.
"Delilah," she whispered. "Calm down. We're a pack. We need to stay together no matter what." I turned around and I saw that everyone was now in their human form.
"Did you not just see what I just did to those stupid vamps? Eric's gone now because of me! I killed him Jamie! I don't want to kill you too!" I tried not to let the tears building up in my eyes to leak out.
"But Carlisle said…"
"It doesn't matter what Carlisle said! Eric's gone now and he's not coming back, no matter what those vampires can do! It's because of them he's gone!"
Casey chimed in. "You can't blame them for what you did Delilah. It's not their fault you went crazy and…." Cassie looked at Casey waiting for him to finish his sentence. "We're a pack Del… don't leave." I shook my head.
"I'm going. I'm going to look for him."
"Who the hell are going to look for?" Johnny asked speaking for the first time.
"I'm looking for Eric." I started running and changed into my wolf form. I ran back into the woods heading north. This time I didn't feel the rush of emotions close behind me. I didn't hear the off beat rhythms of paws smacking the cool Earth. I didn't hear the heavy panting of my pack. It was just me… all alone searching… for him.
