Pain quickly flooded her senses. Every part of her was on fire. She bit her lip, holding back the cries that were inevitably to come. Writhing, she had one thought before the agony blurred all comprehensiveness. God help me.

BAM! The door slamming open jarred her back into the present. On the floor hyperventilating, Livvie could only see the feet of the person who walked in. They don't have shoes was the only thought that ran through her head as she lay there, fighting to regain control of her body. Even her eyes seemed to be trembling, never fixed on one place for too long.

"He…too fast. I couldn't…my blood. He ran…was everywhere. It was my blood," she kept muttering incoherently.

She jumped as she felt a warm hand resting on her shoulder and someone lightly humming comfortingly. Livvie slowly turned on her back and looked straight into anxious brown eyes. She blinked.

"J-Jacob?" he shivered at the sound of her voice and gently removed his hand. He was situated so his face was almost directly above hers, every feature right in front of her. Coming back to reality, she turned her head and closed her eyes, trying to get the images of the recollection out of her head.

"It-it was my blood," she paused as if waiting for a reaction, his muscles stiffened but he waited patiently. "I was running and h-he was chasing me. I tried to get away…he was too fast, I couldn't get-he was too f-fast," she took a shaky breath and ran her hand along her wrist, "He bit me…the blood, it was everywhere." Her voice broke and she began sobbing into her hands.

She felt his fingers moving through her hair and jumped. After a moment she relaxed and heard the soft rustle of clothing and a faint sniff. Wait, is he smelling me? She turned as she heard a soft rumble from where she guessed his chest would be. Jacob's eyes were closed and she was slightly unsettled by the intimacy of the situation, their noses were a mere inch from touching. He opened his eyes and blinked lazily, a hint of a smile on his features. For a minute he scanned her face, as if looking to see if she was hurt. She looked straight into his eyes, she giggled inwardly as she realized she could see herself.

It's an interesting thing, seeing yourself in someone's eyes when you can't even remember what you look like. A stranger stared at her through his eyes, her waist length dark blonde hair shifted as she moved her arm slightly. Livvie slowly reached to grab his hand, needing some comfort. She was reminded of her position when she felt a warm breath gently brush her face.

Jacob's gaze shifted to her eyes. My red eyes. A stony expression spread throughout his face causing his jaw to stiffen. He swiftly pulled his hand away like she had burned it and quickly stood up. With a cutting voice he said

"The Cullen's are back," he had nearly growled, "it's time to go." He reached down to grab for her shoulder. The instant he did, the room started spinning.

"Miss? Miss?" an alarmed voice drifted toward Livvie in the midst of the constant spiraling of the room. Groggy, her eyes drifted open. A pale face was above hers. Giving a small shriek, she jolted into a sitting position, banging heads with the man next to her. He smiled sheepishly at her, rubbing his head, his golden eyes twinkling at her.

"I guess, I should have seen that coming," his chuckling grew to a worried frown as he took in the deep purple smudges under her eyes.

"You'll need to feed soon," he stated it like it was something trivial, like everybody said it on a daily basis. Livvie's eyes widened and she started gasping when she realized the delectable smell coming from his clothing. Her throat enveloped in the strange liquid again, she fought back a snarl as she began to rebel against her instincts. With whimper from her innermost being she launched herself at him halfheartedly. He easily caught her arms and pinned them to her sides as she began to struggle. In a last desperate attack, she fell over, taking him with her.

The hard floor against her chin slammed her back into her right senses and she started sniffing.

"There now, Are you alright now?" he asked, she looked him in the eye and stared at him for a couple of seconds with a hopeless look on her face. His brows creased and he sighed and carefully helped her up.

"I know how you feel," she gazed at him, so incredulous he had to chuckle. "It's true, I'm a vampire as well, Livvie" the last words were spoken with such a sense of affliction.

Livvie's eyes were instantly focused on his, confused. "But you don't have red eyes, I thought that's what- wait, why did you call me Livvie?" He smiled reassuringly and began explaining the whole thing. (A/N: I hope you don't mind if I skip the explanation, we all know already. It'd just be some fluff.)

"So you can hear my thoughts?" he nodded, completely serious, "and I don't have to…feed… off of humans," he nodded again. "So what's your name?"

"I suppose I didn't tell you that did I?" he chuckled. "It's Edward, Edward Cullen," he held out his hand, she took hold of it, a tentative smile on her face.

"Nice to meet you."

With a warm smile, he gestured toward the door. "We should probably get outside, someone's worried about you," she threw him a bewildered look. He shook his head and muttered under his breath, "I'm staying out of this."

The moment she stepped outside she lifted her head toward the sky, eyes shut, a peaceful smile on her face. She heaved a sigh, taking in all the new and stimulating smells, thankful there weren't any humans nearby. The birds were chirping their never ending song and the wind was gently brushed her face.

Before she even opened her eyes, she knew that the men from before would be standing a few feet in front of her. She glanced up at them, their faces showing a multitude of emotions. Relief, worry, but Jacob's face was the one that struck her the hardest. His face was hard, detached, cold even, the only emotion was in his eyes. Guilt. She assumed it was only because of her expression as she stepped outside. She turned to speak to them.

"Thank you," their expressions were startled, even Jacob raised an eyebrow. "If you hadn't found me, I don't know what I would've done," she said with a shaking voice

Turning to Edward, she lifted her chin and softly asked "where to next?"

Edward strode off, starting to follow; Livvie allowed herself one final glance back. With the wind blowing the hair in her face. The last thing she saw before she turned was a distraught look on Jacob's face. Attributing this to her hair skewing her vision, she quickly turned and ran to catch up to Edward.

A/N: don't worry, this isn't the end. i'll try to update soon. in the meantime. reviews anyone?
