It was what seemed like hours before they found me, crying on the forest floor.
Okay, not crying, more like sobbing.
The pain was fierce and their hands seemed way too hot.
They were huddled over me, speaking quickly, but I wasn't able of cohearent thoughts, but I could hear their frantic words..
"LEAH!"
"What happened to her?"
"What do you mean what happened? She has obviously been bitten."
"I will admit to that one.. Stupid question."
"No one cares about your stupid questions Jared!"
"Well sorry."
"Pick her up. Take her to the Cullen's... they might be able to stop it."
The warm arms that wrapped around me didn't feel right.. I didn't feel safe in my own skin.... probably because it was burning.
On the surface I didn't know what was going on.. or why my skin was burning and I just wanted to die.
But deep down I knew what was happening..
I was changing. I was changing into a vampire.
Ralph's Point of View
"CULLEN!" I yelled, running up the spiral staircase in the Cullen's house. No time to wait.
The door to the doctor's study was open, and I rushed in. I dropped Leah gently down on the couch in front of the doctor's desk.
Where was he?
"Dr. Cullen!"
"Yes?" Dr. Cullen said calmly as he walked into the room.
"It's Leah. A vamp bit her." I hissed at him.
He rushed over, looking at her. "How long?"
"No idea. We just found her." I answered.
He stared at her, a deep frown on his face. He took her hand and held it for a moment. "I'm sorry." The doctor said quietly. "There's nothing I can do.. She's gone too far."
"There's nothing we can do? I'm just going to lose her like that?" I cried.
"Lose her?" Dr. Cullen murmured. "You won't lose her, she'll just be.... different."
I nodded and picked her up. "Can I take her home?"
"Yeah. Go on and take her home. I guess it'll be better if she wakes up in her own home." He answered.
"Alright."
I ran her home and set her in her bed. She was so quiet..
"I love you, Leah." I told her.
She let out one small whimper as if to give up the fight before the moans started.
It broke my heart..
My Leah was in pain and I couldn't do anything at all about it.
I crawled into the bed beside her and watched her face as she lie there in suffering.
Leah's Point of View
I felt my body hit something hard and then I heard someone say quietly, "I love you, Leah."
I couldn't hold it in any longer and let out one quiet whimper...
After that I couldn't help from moaning and screaming. The pain was driving me crazy.

"Leah, baby, can you hear me?" The words shouldn't have been so clear..
"Leah.. Can you feel my hand? If you can, give it a sqeeze, okay? Can you do that for me?"
I could feel his hand, and it was so hot.
I gave his hand a small sqeeze.
"Leah.. Can you open your eyes?" He asked quietly.
I tried, but they wouldn't move.
"That's okay Leah. It'll get better."
It seemed like an hour when my body thawed and coughed quietly. "Leah?" He asked. "Can you hear me? Talk to me, Leah."
I opened my eyes and looked at him.. Ralph was laying beside me in my bed, just staring at me.
There was a hallow burning in my throat, but I ignored it. "Ralph." I said quietly.
"I was so scared Leah." He said, wrapping his arms around me. He hugged me tightly.
"Ralph..." I murmured, trying to pull away. This isn't safe. "Not now."
I stood up, walking slowly (for a human.. I was scared) to the door.
"Leah, where are you going?"
"I'm not sure." I told him quietly.
I really wasn't. I had no idea where to go or what to do.. all I knew was what had to be done.
And I knew it would end badly if I didn't get it done soon.
I walked to the door and when I opened it, I was surpised to see Alice standing there, leaning against the door frame.
"Leah!" She sqeeled and hugged me.
"Alice.." I murmured.
"Oh, right, sorry." She said, pulling away and looking me over. "Wow, Leah... Okay so.... follow me." She turned and danced into the trees.
Such a little pixie.

I was sitting in the Cullen's living room.
I didn't speak, just watched the Cullen's buzz around the room.
The pack was coming over for dinner in the gaint kichen and I was.. adjusting.
I hadn't seen myself yet.. I planned to leave that until the last posible second.
The pack hadn't seen me yet, either, just Ralph..
I laughed quietly and even now the bell chime sound of my laugh scared me.
I had come full circle.
Human. Were wolf. Vampire.
I guess there would never be a change again.. for the rest of forever.
Immortal.
"LEAH!" Seth screamed, rushing to my side.
I didn't respond to his bitter anger.
"Hey little brother." I answered.
Sam walked in the room, followed by Ralph. Ralph ran to my side and took my hand.
"No." Sam growled at Ralph.
I glared at Sam.
"What do you mean no?" Ralph said angrily.
"He means that I'm one of them now. I can't be trusted." I answered for Sam. "But really Sam Uley, if you think I'd hurt him, you are more wrong then you'll ever be." I growled over at him.
I was literally seeing red (vampire thing?) when his face crippled with pain and he fell to the floor.
WHAT HAPPENED?!
