We yet again awoke to the sound of Sam's howling. *groans* Damn, I'm getting sick and tired of this waking up early thing we have to do. Running on 4 hours of sleep everyday is not awesome.

"Come on Jade wakey wakey, eggs and baky," said Jacob barging into my room. I covered my face with a pillow to drown him out but it ended up being taken from me.

"Jake, don't you ever say baky to me when it's 5 in the morning and don't ever take away my pillow unless you have a death wish."

"Sam's calling and he gave me orders to get you out of bed. He said do whatever it takes, and that includes taking away your pillow."

"God I hate Sam."

"I know," he said playing with my hair before slapping my butt, making me jump, "Now wake up."

"I don't wanna."

"Neither do I but we got to. We might just catch that vampire today."

I pulled the covers over my head hoping that he would take the hint and leave me be. Don't get me wrong, I more than anyone wanted to catch that vampire but a girl needs her sleep.

"Don't make me bring out the tickle monster," he said grinning like a cat that got the mouse. I gave him the finger before covering up again.

"Don't say I didn't warn you."

Little did he know that I would get him in a sneak attack. Poor guy never saw it coming, until the last minute that is.

"No fair," he laughed as I tickled him, "Surprise attacks are illegal."

"Not unless I yell surprise," I said, "SURPRISE! Give up brother?"

"Never."

I continued to tickle him until he got the upper hand and had me pinned. Oh crap.

"Don't. You. Dare." I said through gritted teeth. He dared. He hacked up a loogy over me and threatened to let it face. I screamed before pushing him off of me. We rolled around a few times until someone cleared their throat to get our attention. I had Jacob by the legs when we looked up to see Sam, Paul, Jared and Embry staring down at me.

"Hey guys," we said letting over of the other and standing up.

"So while some of us are out hunting vampires, you two are here having a tickle fight," said an amused looking Sam. You could tell that he was trying not to laugh but his alpha side wouldn't have it, so he kept a straight face. Jacob and I shared a look before shrugging and turning to the pack.

"Anything," asked Jacob.

"Nah, just trails and wilderness," said Jared.

"She's smarter than she looks," complained Paul, "Who would've thunk?"

Jacob growled at this. I patted his back for comfort.

"Ella es sea fina, Jake. No se preocupe."

"Usted freaking hacia fuera también si ésta era su impresión."

"Ok can we please not use the twin language," said Paul, "Besides you guys have patrol."

"Let's go then. I'm ready to fight," I said. I wasn't kidding, my blood was pumping with adrenaline.

"Give the signal when ya'll find something," said Sam. With that Embry, Jacob and I ran out the house and shifted the moment our feet touched grass. However while Jacob and I were focused, Embry was a different story.

Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah-ah!
Roma-roma-mamaa!
Ga-ga-ooh-la-la!
Want your bad romance

Embry! Jacob and I groaned

Dude, I like Lady Gaga as much as the next guy, but now is not the time to be bursting out lyrics to Bad Romance I said

Sorry guys. That song has been in my head since last night said Embry as his steps became one with ours

Great, my imprint is getting chased by vampires, my sister and I are werewolves and now my best friend is singing Lady Gaga. What else could go wrong?

How about your sister killing your best friend? Because now it's stuck in MY head.

Sorry guys.

We'll worry about that later. That vampire is out there and I won't rest until she's killed.

Is that a promise?

Yes

Good cause I got wiff of her said Embry sniffing the air She's headed east.

That's where Charlie, Harry and Old Quil are I gasped

Crap. Sound the alarm, Jade. Embry see if you can't cut her off. Harry's heart isn't what it used to be.

Embry and Jacob ran off and I howled to the guys. When they finally shifted I sat back and waited for them to arrive.

That was fast.

Don't be surprised, Paul. You sound know by now that my brother and I work fast.

Thank God we have twins in the pack joked Jared.

How close is she asked Sam. Always Mr. Strategy.

Let's put it this way: I hope CPR training paid off said Jacob. Everyone froze at that and Harry's face suddenly came to mind.

Shit! Leah hates me enough already.

Well let's go then. We can't have that on your conscience.

We took off to where the others were just in time to see Jake push Victoria off of Harry.

Make sure Charlie and the others don't see you ordered Sam If they do then it's going to be hell for all of us trying to get that bullet out.

We winced and I hoped that Charlie didn't see Jake. How would I explain his death to Dad? To Bella? We chased the vampire around La Push and Forks. All the while trying our best to not be seen.

Damn it said Jacob She jumped over the cliff.

I felt someone shift as well as two others. I recognized them as Sam, Embry and Jared.

Sam's phone was ringing and Embry and Jared because Embry broke his leg explained Paul.

So that was the loud crunch I heard.

Did she get near him?

Yep. Embry got close enough for an attack but she swatted at him and he bounced right into a boulder.

Paul let it replay so we could see what happened. I winced when Embry hit the boulder. We needed to get back to La Push but before I could voice my thoughts Sam shifted back.

Embry will be fine. Jared got him to shift and is taking care of him now. He said. I noticed his tone. Something was off about it.

This is one of those good news/bad news deals isn't it I said

The good news is Embry will be fine. The bad news is Harry had a heart attack.

We gasped at this. It didn't seem real. He was fine this morning and we got her off of him. What could have caused it.

I need some of you to go back there and help out. I'm going out to the Clearwater's to inform Sue.

I'll be there in a bit, Sam. I need to check on Bella he said before turning to me and nuzzling me Go help out, Jade. I'll be fine.

I knew he would be, but I just couldn't shake the feeling of something happening to him. Still, I followed Paul out to where we last saw Harry. We quickly phased into human form and dressed in the clothes around our ankles before making ourselves known. The first thing we noticed once we got into sight was Jared and Embry talking to Old Quil as he wrapped Embry's foot. The second thing we noticed was Charlie giving CPR to Harry. We immediately offered him our aid.

"Jade, Paul, thank goodness you two are here. Where's Sam?" asked Charlie

"He's going to the Clearwater's to inform Sue of what happened," said Paul kneeling down next to Charlie, "Anything we can do?"

"What about your friend," he asked glancing over at Embry who winced as Old Quil wrapped the bandage tight around his leg. Jared had since then left his side and had come to join us.

"I got him," I said, "My car is nearby. I can get him to a doctor."

We glanced up as an ambulance arrived and pushed us out of the way. They began to work quickly. Deciding that they had enough people on the scene I immediately went over to Embry and Old Quil as the paramedics worked to get Harry's heart beating. Old Quil pulled me into a hug when I got there and Embry reached out to hold my hand.

"I wrapped it to where it wouldn't bother him too much, but he needs to move it every so often so it doesn't set wrong," he said pulling back from the hug. I gave him a nod as I squeezed Embry's hand for reassurance. After talking a bit more about the red head vampire we lifted Embry up and guided him to my "car". When we got out of the clearing, Old Quil patted his back and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I could see a tear roll down his face but he quickly wiped the tear away before turning to me, "Take him to Emily's. He'll be more comfortable there."

I nodded before watching him leave to go back to the clearing . I immediately exhaled. Ever tried to get someone with a 108 degree body temperature and a broken leg around a medical team? Trust me, it's not easy. We were lucky that their focus was more on Harry and not others around him. If it wasn't then we would be screwed. I turned to Embry.

"Think you can jump on my back if I shift," I asked

"I think so," he said. I gave a nod before shifting into my wolf form. I went over to where Embry stood and got down on my belly to make it easier for him to get on. When I was sure he was on and had a good grip, I began my run back to Emily's. When I got close to the house a medley of smells hit me all at once. Emily was cooking and the smells made my mouth water and my stomach growl. Embry smelt it too and whispered in my ear that he would be fine if I kicked up the speed. We were at the house within minutes. I let Embry get down before shifting into my human form and guiding him into the house.

"Where are your brothers," asked Emily when we walked in the door.

"They're helping out with Harry. Sam is at the Clearwater's," said Embry. I helped Embry into a chair before sitting down myself. I watched as he moved his leg around and winced when it made a popping sound. Emily went to the refrigerator, got out a bag of ice and handed it to Embry. He took it gratefully and put it on his leg.

"Did you get the vampire," she asked handing us a plate full of steak, potatoes, vegetables and a roll.

"We lost her," I said taking a bite of steak, "She jumped off a cliff as we zoned in on her."

Emily nodded before joining us at the table with her own plate. When we finished our meal, I got to work on Embry's leg. It had healed somewhat, but not quiet. Looking at his foot I noticed that he dislocated his ankle and began to pop it back into place.

"Come on Embry it has to be done," I said

"No way. You aren't medically trained," he said.

"Sue Clearwater gave me a class on medical training. I think I know what I'm doing."

"Oh that's comforting."

I grabbed a hold of his foot and went to pop it into place.

"OW DAMN IT," he screamed.

"Embry you are old enough to be a daddy. Don't whine."

Emily smirked at my remark as I set his ankle back into place and wrapped in gaze.

"There now that wasn't so bad was it," I said

He gave me the finger before putting the bag of ice back on his foot.

"Well done Dr. Black," said Emily patting my back.

"Yes, well done Dr. Black," sneered Embry, "You make the simplest thing such as healing so painful."

"If you're going to belly ache about it, go home to mommy. She'll give you a bottle and change your diaper."

"Bitch."

"Whore."

"All right you two that's enough. Sam's calling."

We sat in silence, the only sound being made was Emily's talking and the occasional tapping of Embry's fingers. I could tell something was wrong the moment Emily hung up the phone. My thoughts flashed to Harry's still form, to Jacob's retreating form and to Emily's tear strickened face. I expected the worse but even Emily's next words made my heart skip a beat.

"Harry died on the way to the hospital. He's gone."
