A/N- I do not own Twilight or it's characters. Hope you enjoy this fanfic, it's my first

I lay unmoving on the ground; I could feel blood flowing from a deep gash on my leg. I tried to move, to get away from the horrible creature that had attacked me, but my strength was draining along with my blood. I could hear his soft footsteps as he came to finish me off, I struggled not to panic. I could not see my attacker, for he had clawed my eyes, but I could sense him nearby, closing in for the kill.

Suddenly I heard his footsteps stop, I lay there my eyes and leg throbbing in unbearable pain. Then I heard it, a deep animal-like growl, it was closing in fast. I heard the bushes rustle; the sound came from the same direction as the growling. My attacker was growling too, but his was a deeper fiercer growl.

Then the two creatures collided in a frenzy of snarling and hissing. As I listened to the two struggle, I realized they were fighting, probably over which of them would finish me off.

Their battle continued to rage, and I continued to loose strength, slipping further into unconsciousness every second. The sound of fighting died down and I heard one of the creatures crash through the bushes, shouting curses as it went. For a moment I thought the two creatures must be human, but their snarling convinced me otherwise.

I heard soft footsteps come toward me and fear gripped me. I felt arms slip under my knees and upper back, and it lifted me gently. I gasped as pain flared in my leg; my eyes squeezed shut tighter and pain flared there as well.

"It's alright," said a boy's voice, he sounded around eighteen. "You're safe now."

Then he was running, so fast the wind whipped my long pitch black hair in my face, faster than any human could run. The boy came to a stop, I heard a door open followed by his footsteps on linoleum.

"Carlisle!" the boy called.

"What's wrong Damien?" said a man's voice. I heard another set of footsteps coming closer.

The man, Carlisle, gasped. "What happened to her?" he asked.

"She was attacked by another vampire on our territory," Damien explained. "I drove him out."

I was confused now, vampire? Vampires didn't exist, they were just myths. Or were they?

"Bring her upstairs," Carlisle said.

Then we were moving again, Damien carried me up a set of stairs and down a hallway, into a room where he set me down a soft bed.

"The worst wounds are on her leg and eyes." Damien told Carlisle.

"What's going on?" asked a new voice, a girl's. "Who's that?"

"She was attacked by a vampire." Damien said quietly.

"Will you get my bag please, Rosalie?" Carlisle asked.

The girl, Rosalie, left the room and returned a few seconds later. "Here," she said.

"Thank you, Rose." Carlisle said. I heard him walk to where I lay; he began to examine the wound on my leg. I felt something sharp poke through my skin around the wound, he was stitching it together.

"Will she live?" Damien asked as Carlisle finished stitching my leg.

"She's lost too much blood," Carlisle said, his voice grave. "The only way to save her would be to change her."

"That's no life," Rosalie said bitterly.

Damien ignored her. "Carlisle, please." he whispered.

"You're sure?" Carlisle asked.

"Yes, I don't want her to die." Damien said.

"Are you going to stay with her?" Carlisle asked.

"Yes," Damien replied.

I felt something on my neck, at first I thought nothing of it, but then my neck began to burn. The burning increased as it traveled through my bloodstream, and soon it felt as if a fire was raging throughout my entire body.

I began to scream.

"It's okay," Damien said. I was dimly aware of him squeezing my hand. "It will be over soon."

The fire continued to burn in my body and I continued to scream, I wanted to die.

All the while Damien stayed with me, trying unsuccessfully to comfort me. "It will be over soon." He said. "Not much longer."

Eventually, the fire began to dim in my hands and feet, and gradually it began to disappear from other parts too. Soon only my heart was the only thing burning, and this pain was more intense than when my whole body had been burning. I continued to scream until the fire died away completely.

I lay on the bed panting for a few minutes, my eyes shut tight.

"Carlisle," Damien called. "I think she's awake!"

I sat up slowly and as I did I heard four sets of footsteps enter the room. I turned in their direction, but my eyes were still shut so I couldn't see them.

My eyelids fluttered open, and I gasped in horror.
