Sarah woke up in her own bed feeling someone snuggling close to her. She stayed still until she recognized Sam and relaxed. He grunted slightly unable to sleep and sat up looking at her. When he noticed she was awake he looked away from her slightly. "Can we talk?" Sarah sat up in bed nodding. "Sure, it's not like I can stop you." Sam looked at her and put his arm around her. "I'm sorry for what I did earlier." Sarah looked down in her lap studying her hands. "Which part? Using me to find the vampires or carrying out the sentence yourself?" Sam bit his lip trying to stop the sense of pride he had been taught to feel. "Look, I'm sorry there's nothing I can do now." Sarah laid her head on Sam's shoulder nodding. "Alright, that shall have to do, I suppose." Sam smiled softly running his hands through her hair.
"Tell me something honestly?" Sarah looked up at him curious. "Anything you want to know I'll share with you." Sam looked at the door and sighed trying to voice his question. "Do, do you, how can you trust a vampire after all that's happened?" Sarah sat up looking down at the ring Carlisle gave her and the bracelet Justin had given her. "Well, when my dad died Carlisle was all I had left. He rescued me from myself. To me I loved a human he just happened to be a vampire." Sam shook his head. "But what about Marcus and James?" Sarah felt a slow chill running up her spine hearing Marcus' name. "How would you like me to judge you based on Jake?" Sam laughed almost blushing from the statement. "I don't think we compare." Sarah laughed softly nodding. "It's the same for vampires. Look at Carlisle then Marcus. They share nothing in common." Sam nodded looking at Sarah deep into her eyes. "And yet I can compare you to Justin."
Sarah sat still shocked slightly from what Sam had just said. "How do we even compare?" Sam laughed shaking his head. "Oh come on, look at you two. As much as I hate saying it he can get to a part of you I can't. I unlocked your nature he made you embrace it as a part of yourself." Sarah climbed into Sam's lap and kissed his forehead softly. "And yet here I am with you. After all that's happened between us." Sam smiled softly pulling her close to him. "And yet he would challenge me for you." Sarah's face formed a confused look that made Sam smile. "I don't understand. How can he challenge you?" Sam sighed brushing her hair from her face. "He was a leader once. So by blood he can be again if he wishes to be." Sarah shook her head slowly. "He'd never want to be. I think he feels more alone with a pack to support him than if he were truly alone."
Sam smiled getting up out of the bed leaving Sarah to lay there. "I can go ask him." Sarah laughed softly looking up at Sam. "I'm surprised you allowed him to stay." Sam faked a hurt look on his face. "I'm not that cruel. He is part wolf and that's the part I focus on when he's here." Sarah nodded slowly. "Yeah, that's a good way to look at it." Sam smiled. "Just like you. I heard Jake missed you especially." Sarah blushed shaking her head. "Jake is a friend, stubborn but a friend none the less." Sam laughed as he changed clothes. "Where are you going?" Sam blushed softly looking at her obviously concerned about him. "Well, I was hoping to get you breakfast today." Sarah blushed, the deepest red Sam had ever seen and he looked at her a little longer. "I'm not hungry this morning." Sam laughed looking at her shaking his head. "Yes you are now tell me what you want don't lie. I can tell you know."
Sarah looked away for a moment then looked back at Sam. "I don't want human food this morning." Sam froze slightly unsure of himself. "I'm not letting you break pack rules to hunt here." Sarah looked down ashamed slightly. "I would never break pack rules." He nodded hearing her then sat down beside her gently. "I will however, give you what I can." Sarah shifted slightly looking up at Sam. "You mean that you'd let me…" Sarah trailed off unsure making Sam look down at the sheets of the bed. He was obviously nervous but tried not to show it. "Yes, I'd let you drink from me. If you need to I don't see why not." Sarah kissed his cheek softly her heart racing slightly unsure of herself. "What if I-" Sam placed a hand over her mouth. "Don't think about it and you'll do fine." Sarah nodded slowly as Sam removed his hand from her mouth.
He slid closer to her on the bed and gasped slightly feeling how cold her skin was. Sam couldn't recall the last time he had felt her so cold. "Just relax, don't be nervous." Sarah smiled as Sam relaxed and she kissed his neck gently. The gesture felt so loving to him and it made his body relax enough to calm him. He felt a fire spread down his neck as Sarah began to drink from him. The pain was immense and he heard a constant beating in his ears. His eyes closed as if too heavy to hold up and soon he could picture the beating pacing through his body. Sarah could feel herself drinking Sam close to the stopping point and she badly felt the urge to continue. Her mind kept telling her to stop but her body didn't listen to the command. Suddenly a familiar voice entered her head. "You've tasted blood and now you want more." She suddenly pulled herself from Sam's neck and he lay still too weak to move.
Sarah opened the door grateful to see Carlisle. She had called him worried about Sam enough to admit what she had just done. He had come over quickly and he walked into the room where Sam laid. "What were you thinking?!" Sam tried to sit up but had to have Sarah help him. "It's not the dumbest thing I've ever done." Carlisle smiled slightly shaking his head. "Wolves, I'll never understand them. They have such a temper, but most of all they always have an excuse." Sarah tried to hide her laugh only to hear Sam's own. She was surprised seeing how well the two men had gotten along so quickly again. "Well, when wolves marry a daughter like yours they have to be stubborn." Sarah blushed as Carlisle laughed shaking his head. "You two in just a year have made this a full time job here." Sarah smiled seeing her own opportunity. "Yes, well vampires have forever to have fun." Carlisle and Sam both laughed from the comment.
Carlisle checked Sam over and shook his head. "Just what I thought it'd be. He's lost a lot of blood but that's all. He'll unfortunately recover from it." Sarah smiled as Sam hit Carlisle on the shoulder. Carlisle smiled back. "See, what I'd tell you." Sam laughed again laying back in the bed smiling. The door to their house was opened and the three of them stood their confused. Sarah got up to check who it was but for some reason she didn't move. "I can see who it is for you." Sarah shook her head looking at Carlisle. "No, I don't think you should. It just doesn't feel right suddenly." Carlisle looked at her concerned but stayed put. She was generally right when it came to instinct and he shouldn't have been surprised to find out she was yet again. Marcus walked into the small room and smiled at the three of them. "Well, I see you three are still a happy couple."
Sarah looked down his words stung her and she stayed silent. "How did you get free?" Marcus looked at Carlisle and shrugged. "Well, too many vampires do the same things. I thought I could use that to my advantage and here I have." Sam sat up in bed looking at Marcus growling. "Get out of my house!" Marcus only looked at him laughing. "Or you'll what? You're already too weak to even stand let alone transform." Sarah growled looking up at Marcus and then smiled. "You're forgetting one thing Marcus." He shook his head looking at her. "You're not going to transform because I say so." Sarah shook her head slowly. "Not that Marcus, not this time." Sarah let out the loudest howl she could and stared into Marcus' eyes when she was finished." He seemed a little surprised but tried to hide it. "Well, a lot of good I see that did you."
Justin was the first to hear Sarah's howling and recognize it. The pack quickly ran dropping their everyday tasks and gathered in a circle. They seemed lost without a leader and Justin stepped forward. Jake growled at him taking a step forward as well as the pack transformed. Their communication continued and Jake seemed furious. "Back down you're not our leader." Justin growled softly at him and the pack watched the two. "Back down Jake, I'm just doing this because no one else is here to do so." Jake felt himself unable to protest the command and looked at Justin surprised. The moment Justin had filled in as leader the pack immediately recognized him as one. The pack took off towards Sam's house and circled it slowly smelling the scent of a vampire. Justin knew the scent all too well and growled just from smelling it.
He motioned for the pack to circle the outside of the house intent to capture Marcus. The pack would die for him if he asked them too and he was reminded of the pack he once had led. "No one gets past the circle. Not a single person unless I say so." The pack all nodded in agreement and Justin entered the house. He spotted Marcus and let out a long growl before Marcus turned around to notice him. Marcus made a mistake and went to grab him only to have Justin throw him out the door. The pack quickly circled him and Marcus knew he was out numbered. Justin looked up at Sam who was eyeing him strangely but he seemed okay. Sarah quickly looked at Justin surprised by how drawn she was by his scent. It was a mix of sweet and bold at the same time in a perfect balance. Carlisle smiled at Justin slightly before Justin left the house going outside to deal with Marcus.
