Jackson picked Lily up to take her to Dunn. Lily was actually a little excited but too much joy and fun made her feel a little sick these days since Oliver wasn't there, she felt a little guilty about having a good time. But Lily only seemed to have a good time with Jackson not her friends or even her dad who had been spending most of his time fishing.

"What? No werewolf today?" Lily asked as she looked at Jackson's car.

Jackson laughed "I thought I'd keep the date a little normal..."

Date. No Lily didn't want this to be a date, or at least she didn't think she did. She didn't want to hurt Jackson's feelings by saying it wasn't so she just smiled and said "Well, were to?"

Jackson opened the door for Lily. As she hoped into the passenger's seat she could again hear the little voice.

"Lily, go back inside, tell him the date is off."

Was the voice jealous or something? Or was it simply trying to protect her?

"Hey, Lily would you mind if I phased for a minute, I need to see if the pack is doing alright."

"You can do that by phasing?"

Jackson nodded "When we are all wolves we can actually read the thoughts of the other wolves in the pack. It's sort of like our built in werewolf cell phone."

"Oh, well then by all means phase. Tell the others I say hi."

Jackson smiled then phased into the werewolf. He stood there for a minute sniffing the air around him then out of no where he began to growl as if he were ready to kill. After a few more nimutes he phased back and put his clothes back on.

"I need to get you into Dunn." He hopped in the car and started the engine.

He zoomed down the highway at a speed that reminded Lily of Oliver's psychotic driving. "Jackson what's going on?" she asked slightly panicked. "What did they say?"

"There is a vampire in the woods, apparently she's was working with that vampire that attacked you."

Lily flashed back to the memory of Charlie charging for her in the meadow and how Jackson had saved her in just the nick of time.

"She?" Lily asked. Then before Jackson could answer, Lily put the pieces together herself. "Maya..."

"What?"

"Her name is Maya, and she's here because she wants to kill me because Oliver killed her mate Marrow." she still shuddered at the sound of his name.

"That's why I have to take you to Dunn and fast. You'll be safe since vampires aren't allowed in our city."

"And I'll be surrounded by a bunch of giant werewolves."

"Right." Jackson said with a chuckle.

When they reached Dunn Lily could see the rest of the pack waiting in front of Jackson's house. They looked like they were in a hurry so Lily and Jackson got out of the car as quickly as possible.

"We need to go now! We have to run a sweep of the woods and make sure she's not out there." Seth demanded.

That was all it took to get the boys to take off their clothes and phase. Jackson turned to Lily causing Isaac to growl at him.

"One sec ok Isaac?" Isaac growled at Jackson's words. "Ok, Lily I need you to stay here that way I know you're safe. We'll be back in an hour or so."

Lily nodded understanding her instructions. Isaac growled again only this time Lily could hear the "Come on Jackson!" in it.

Jackson didn't have time to take off his clothes so he phased were he was causing the clothes to rip right off of him. The pack sprinted into the woods leaving Lily behind.

Lily worried about Jackson, if Maya was out there she would definatly kill all of them. Not only was Maya a psycho vampire, but she was a pissed off psycho vampire with a score to settle and that meant her strength was probably at its peak. Lily had to do something to get her mind off of all of this.

She walked down to the beach which was quiet for a minute then the tide began to come in further and the waves crashed violently as a storm started to roll in. It wasn't really a storm, more like a hurricane if she had to classify it. Lily still couldn't take her mind off of Maya since she felt like it was all her fault. Maya wouldn't be here if Lily hadn't started trouble with Marrow she thought, and the overwhelming guilt caused her to cry. As she cried she noticed something in the distance, on the cliff were a bunch of guys bungee jumping into the raging water. What Lily really needed was a chance to hear that perfect voice in her head and to do that she had to do something dangerous.

Lily hiked to the top of the cliff and looked down to see the drop. It was a really big drop and the fear began to well up inside Lily but nonetheless she strapped on the bungee cord tightly to where it felt like it was cutting off her circulation but better safe than sorry. Lily took a step closer to the edge and spread her arms out like the man had told her to. She gulped.

"This is so crazy!" Lily said to herself as she looked down at the water.

"Lily! Don't do this!" the voiced screamed.

Lily took a deep breath and shut her eyes. "Here I go." then she jumped into the water letting go of all fear and worry so she could hear the voice scream her name.

"Lily...Lily...Lily!"

Then she landed in the water trying to swim to shore but couldn't since the waves were crashing down on her crushing her and pulling her into the abyss.

Lily managed to get her head above water to see something deep green floating in the water almost like it was coming towards her. She didn't get to see who it was as she started sinking again. Lily tried to fight the waves but it was no use. Soon everything began to flash before her eyes: Her friends, her family, Jackson, the pack, The Okens, then that last face of Oliver. Beautiful sweet Oliver, why hadn't she listened to him when he said to do nothing stupid? She stopped fighting the waves as she realized this is what she wanted; to die. She knew she could never live her life to the fullest without Oliver there so why try and do it? She sank further and further down until everything went black.

Suddenly something grabbed her, it was a strong arm being wrapped around her waist and it began to pull her up. She could breathe again but it hurt since her lungs were filled with water. She began moving closer to shore until she could feel the sand and rocks under her and no more crushing waves around her.

"Are you crazy?" her rescuer yelled. "You could have died out there!"

Lily looked up to see who saved her. "Jackson, where-what-how did you...?"

"I could her your heartbeat miles away then I heard it start to slow."

Lily coughed up a bunch of water then laid in the sand to catch her breath. "I'm sorry..."

"Yeah you should be! You could have gotten killed out there! Are you crazy or just get a kick out of playing with your life?" he continued yelling.

"Did you find her?" Lily asked

"Maya? No. But we did see her, she was wearing a dark green dress or something. Anyway, when we were closing in on her she dove into the water and that's when I heard you're heartbeat slow down."

The deep green thing she had seen in the water, it was Maya! She was only a few feet away from me, I was hers. Lily thought.

"She swam off and I don't know how far she could get." Jackson added. "Come on, let's get you some dry clothes, you're soaking."

Lily nodded and got up brushing herself off. The idea that Maya was still out there and could have easily gone for the kill if Jackson hadn't dove into the water dance in her head. She knew she was never going to be safe, that until Maya was killed Lily wasn't safe.

Sneak Preview:

"What's wrong?" Lily asked as she watched Jackson sniff around.

"There's someone in here."

"Well, my dads' upstairs-"

"Someone not human Lily!" he growled "Vampire."

Lily's heart began to race as she looked around the room for any sign of vengeful vampires but nothing until she felt a rush of cold next to her body. She turned around to see the vampire standing before her.

"Hi Lily."
