Metric - Help I'm Alive

AN: It's a little short. But it's an exciting chapter in my opinion. I hope you enjoy!

I felt sudden movement waking up to the bright hot sun washing over me through the bedroom window. My eyes adjusted to Jacob landing on his bedroom floor looking out the window looking alert and ready to fight. I jerked upwards clutching a sheet to my chest feeling adrenalin pump through me. His head tilted to one side as he listened. His eyes grew wide with horror.

'We'll be right out!' I saw his lips move as his eyes darted to me. At a speed my eyes couldn't follow clearly, he pulled a t-shirt from his dresser and threw it to me. He crouched down in front of me and spoke clearly for me.

'Caught a scent. Victoria was building an army. Edward says they're looking for her and you. They are in La Push. The Cullens are helping. You need to ride me out.' He watched my face studiously and I could see an edge of fear to his eyes. I nodded my understanding and put the t-shirt on over underwear. He took my hand and pulled me up into his arms running out the door.

Outside in full view of the public I stood in only a t-shirt and Jacob naked. He set me down on my feet and phased lowering him back for me to climb on. I hung onto his fur, held my face down onto his collar and he shot off into the woods. At a shocking speed we reached a scene. A few Cullens and some of the pack were in combat with wild looking red eyed vampires. Jacob let me down beside Emily, his eyes warning me to stay where I was before he took off into battle. Emily was focused on a mangled but still breathing gray wolf at our feet. It hurt to look at the wolf. I was sure there were more of the pack than I saw fighting.

I tapped Emily's shoulder. 'Where are the rest?' I spoke as clearly as I could. Her lip trembled before a determined look set her face. She leaned back on her heels and handed me a gun.

'I don't know how...' She trailed off looking at it. I checked the rounds had been adjusted and loaded the gun taking postion focusing my aim out from the battle. I didn't want anyone sneaking up on us. I hoped Emily was ready to cry because she didn't know where the others were and not because they were already dead.

I saw blood and vampire parts strewn across the ground. The battle moved too fast for my human eyes. I recognized Carlisle, Esme and Edward together. But there wasn't any sign of Rosalie, Emmett, Alice and Jasper. I couldn't figure out if I wanted them to be fighting with the other wolves or not. I didn't want more of my family risked for me, but I wanted the pack to have all the help they could get. I saw two vampires come to pieces and go to the ground before Esme was caught by one of the red eyed monsters. Carlisle and a chocolate brown wolf shot after the attacker and pulled a hurt Esme free, but not before the chocolate brown wolf was badly hurt. He appeared unable to move his lower half. He dragged himself out of the way and I wished he wasn't too heavy for me to help and that I felt free to move that close to the action. The red eyed vampires appeared to be stronger and outnumbered our group. They began to press down and I could see our group begin to drop back towards us.

I turned my attention back to watching our backs. I saw a blur but didn't wait to focus. I knew the blur would arrive faster than I should aim and shoot. At least I could try to make them pause. The light blur came to a halt and I could see a young girl of about fifteen years touch her arm. She looked at me with shocked red eyes. I smirked before firing at her chest when she seemed to vanish and have hold of Emily. I backed away holding my gun and hands up. I felt a presence and whirled around. I fired at a blur in the trees and took off running realizing we had been cut off from the pack. I caught sight of the young vampire's back turned to me and fired at the back of her head. I spun around feeling that presence again. I saw a blur and instinct told me they would zig zag. Odds were good they would be right handed so I aimed to the left of the blur in the forest. An middle aged man jerked to a stop and pressed against a tree. I backed up quickly and saw Emily running to me. She was crying but had control of her emotions. More vampires had joined the fray against the Cullen's and Pack. Emily and I moved together keeping our eyes on the shot vampires still relatively close to us. She showed me another cartridge of bullets in her hand.

As we passed closer to the female vampire, I could see her shredded skull pulling back together. I guessed the middle aged vampire would be recovered enough to move and shot into his upper chest. He fell to his knees. I tapped Emily indicating to her that it was time to run. She nodded and we ran. It was a hot day but the forest canopy kept most of the heat out. My lungs burned with exercise and adrenalin kept my pain from surgery at bay. We reached a small stream when I felt danger anew. Emily either heard or saw it at the same time over her shoulder and tapped my arm. I braced myself and aimed again. A smug pale white woman approached slowly. Emily dropped down to one knee and held her hands over her ears as I shot into the vampires chest. One shot to slow 'em down. I moved forward swiftly and shot again into her face at point blank range. Another shot to give us a head start. I didn't want to waste bullets. Who knew how many more vampires we would come across. But I needed to make sure I gave us as much advantage as possible. I looked at Emily and she nodded at me.

We ran again crossing the stream splashing water up our legs. Emily took her shirt off as she ran, tied a knot in it. The knot made the shirt more like a ball and she launched it into the air to our left. I didn't know what she was doing but was impressed by her throwing arm. I sensed with each other's company we were able to keep calm and focused. My muscles were powered by adrenalin and my lungs heaved for breath. I knew I was slow and holding her back due to recovering from surgery, I wasn't at my full strength even if adrenalin was helping me a good deal. I did notice that she had surprising atheleticism for a woman I only ever saw cook and clean.

We jolted to a stop when we saw a young man. Brady. He smiled at us. I looked at Emily. She grinned and looked at me.

'It's just left overs now. Can I just say you two rock?' They talked more but I stopped watching their lips. Relief drenched me and I felt ready to cry. I felt so sure I wouldn't survive another run in against vampires. But this time I hadn't been alone. I had Emily. I threw my arms around her neck and dragged her to me. We held each other tightly and began to laugh as the tension eased from our bodies. We pulled away and looked at each other smiling.

Seth led us back to the Pack and the Cullens. Seth and Emily talked. I couldn't see their lips. I watched around us warily still not convinced that we were safe. I caught Seth looking around. When he saw that I was watching he gave me a warm reassuring smile that didn't quite reach his eyes. That didn't reassure me much.

I smelled pungent fire before I saw anyone. The Cullens had already left the territory by the time we got back. We had run further than I had realized. I saw a small cheer from the guys when we reached them. Jake and Sam swept us up off our feet. Jake engulfed me in kisses. They finished gathering pieces and Jacob told me all about the battle.

Victoria had a created a newborn army of about fifteen or more vampires. They had broken into three groups. One group attacked the hospital, one group had sprung up in my back yard and the last group in La Push heading for Jacobs home. The Newborns attacked almost simultaneously. Alice saw the attack at the hospital and at my home to take care of it with the Cullen's. But some had splintered off towards La Push as the Cullen's didn't have time to make plans. The small army had attacked homes set back from the main roads in the woods so the Cullen's were taking charge of a victim who had been bitten and was now changing who hadn't died. The Pack had been divided as one group came into La Push and other vampires were scattered in the woods.

There had been casualties. Paul, Quil, Esme and Collin were injured. Paul got the worst of it. I felt guilty that I hadn't only disrupted the packs lives but now there had been human deaths and pack injuries and Cullen injuries. But everyone was just so happy that two imprints had come out unscathed if not dressed given that we returned one without pants and one without her shirt. I told Jacob that between the Pack stripping and me stripping it was only a matter of time before we rubbed off on Emily. She later explained she had a plan to leave false scent trails doubling back on ourselves but Seth had come anyway. That night, the Pack had a pizza and movie night at Sam and Emily's. For the first time, I felt comfortable around the Pack and slept soundedly against Jacob's chest on the couch.
