Embry tore at the Thomas's jugular, pushing him to the ground. The vampire grabbed the scruff of Embry's neck, pulling him off so he could bite into his shoulder. He tore away a small piece of bloody fur, a sharp whine escaped from Embry's mouth. Thomas threw him against a large tree with such force; he landed with a thud and a crack and didn't get back up again.

Before Thomas could reclaim his grasp on Nessie, Bella streaked forward to make her own attack.

My head suddenly felt very light as I turned to look at Embry. Lydia had positioned herself next to him; she took his head between her pale hands, as if she were threatening to break his neck. She smiled up at me.

My chest felt tight, breathing became hard and my pulse thudded loudly in my ears.

"Bitch! Don't you fucking dare!" I screamed

I tried to get up and run to him, but Rosalie held me back. And before I knew it, the one called Emmett had pounced on Lydia and was throwing her around like a ragdoll.

I fell into Rosalie, as she pulled me back, keeping all my focus on Embry, willing him to get up. Hot tears started to roll down my face as he still lay motionless. Numbness swept over me.

I didn't turn when I heard the terrible ripping noises or the screams of pain. I didn't think it mattered who won, if Embry didn't get back up, I didn't see much point of living anyway, I couldn't handle losing anyone else. They could kill me; I was too numb to feel any real pain.

But then, hope washed through me, like a wave hitting the shore. I saw his paw twitch, then the tip of his nose. I struggled against Rosalie again; I hadn't expected her to let me go, so when she did, I almost fell to the ground. However I kept stumbling forward until I reached Embry by the base of the enormous tree. I fell to my knees beside him.

"Embry! Are you okay? Can you hear me?" I shouted at him.

His right eye slowly opened to glare at me and I cried in relief.

I felt a presence by my side, I looked up to see Carlisle kneeling beside me.

"Embry, I need you to change back, it's the only way I can help you." Carlisle explained calmly.

Embry gave his small wolf nod and before my eyes I saw fur disappearing, being replaced with human flesh. It was as though the wolf were seeping back into him. And as his face became visible, I noticed how pain stricken it looked. I also realized he was stark naked, so before he could feel too humiliated, I whipped off my leather jacket and covered his privates. Too worried to blush.

Embry lay on his back, and whilst Carlisle mumbled about his ribs, I bent down over his face and looked into his eyes.

"Did you not listen to me at all? I'm so glad you're alive. Stupid wolf!" I nuzzled myself into his hair, breathing my sigh of relief.

"I'll be fine Mol's, you shouldn't have even bothered worrying." He grinned at me, I was too astonished by what he said. How could he tell me not to worry?

"Embry's right, he's tougher than you think." Carlisle agreed.

I cupped his face in my hands, stroking his cheeks with my thumbs. "I don't care, you still got hurt, and that's enough to make me worry." I sighed. As I breathed back in I noticed something.

"What's that?" I asked after looking into his dark eyes for a few more moments.

Smoke, something was defiantly burning, it smelt odd though. I released Embry from my gaze and turned round to find purple smoke curling into the air. The realization as to what must have happened whilst I had been focusing on Embry became clear.

I saw Rosalie, Emmett, Alice and Jasper throwing pieces of white into the bonfire. Esme was cuddling Nessie. However, I couldn't see Bella anywhere. Guilt shot through me like lightning, was she okay? It'd be my fault if she wasn't.

"Carlisle, where's Bella, is she okay?"

"She's gone to meet Edward and Jacob. You don't need to worry, every ones okay."

So no one was hurt except Embry. "How bad is it? Will Embry be okay?" I asked Carlisle.

"He's fine, a couple of fractured ribs, nothing too serious. I suspect he was just knocked out after he received the bite and hit the tree. Vampire venom is poisonous to the wolves, so that won't have helped."

"And those ribs are almost fully healed." Embry exclaimed. He sat up against the tree, pulling up my leather jacket as he went.

I shuffled over to sit by his side, I leant against the trunk and he put a big warm arm around me. He whispered in my ear.

"I'm sorry I scared you just now, love you Mol's." He kissed my forehead.

I almost cried, this situation was completely and utterly obscure, though somehow it made sense.

"Love you too." I whispered back. I tried not to cringe at the fact I'd only really known him a few hours. I decided to blame the stupid, though may I say miraculous, imprinting thing.

He brushed his lips against mine, but wasn't prepared for my attack; I kissed him so passionately it almost hurt. He pulled me closer so that I was perched on his lap, both hands tracing the contours of his chest. I moved my hands upwards to his shoulders, over his neck and ran my fingers through his hair.

Our kiss broke but our faces remained close, he brushed his lips across my jaw, and down my neck. He rested his head there, and I leant against him and took in the woodsy smell of his hair.

"Bella will bring the others here, they'll arrive in just under seven minutes." I heard Alice inform the others.

I moved my head to look at Embry. "How will you make your way back? Can you change, or are you too badly hurt?"

"I should be healthy enough to change back when the others get here, so don't worry, you'll still get to ride me." He grinned and I blushed at the innuendo, not sure whether it was intentional or not.

We spent the next seven minutes holding each other. I lay against his warm, naked chest as we watched the fire burn, and the purple smoke rise. I was now surprisingly calm, considering the situation just minutes ago.

The others arrived after what seemed about seven minutes, just like Alice had predicted. The reunited spoke their relief, and the wolves looked as though they wanted to, as they came to stand over me and Embry.

Edward walked towards us with a kind smile on his face.

"How are you feeling Mollie?"

"I'm okay, thanks, to all you guys, really." I looked around at everyone, I was sure his family could hear me.

"Well, Jacobs come up with an idea as to solve your situation. Would you like to hear it?"

"Huh? Ur yes please!" I replied, hoping he meant there was a solution to the whole police business.

"Yes well, Jacob will have to talk to Charlie first. But we're hoping that this can all be blamed on an animal attack. As it did happen bordering the forest and animal attacks have been common around here lately."

"Animal attack? Do you think that could really work? What do you suggest, that I got lost in the woods?"

"Yep, of course we still have to ask Charlie that it's workable, and all you'd have to do is claim you'd been attacked and chased into the forest."

I couldn't stop myself smiling, the relief was overwhelming me, I almost felt like floating into the air, as if I were balloon full of helium. My vampire stalkers were dead, Embry was okay and there might be a way to prove I'm innocent after all. But then I remembered that nothing could bring Sarah back to life, my balloon deflated and I sank back down into slight depression.

"Anyway-" Edward continued. "We're heading back to the house. We'll call Charlie when we get there. So you'll have to change now." He directed this to Embry.

"No problemo." He replied.

I removed myself from his lap and stood up, I watched him as he stood too, speculating whether he was really okay or not. However, he seemed fine so I didn't word my concern.

Embry turned away from us, handing me my jacket, so now I had a view of his arse, and what a fine arse it was. Now blushing, I took my jacket obediently and he took a few steps away from us and transformed almost instantaneously. The process was still as shocking as when I'd first seen it. I'd wondered if I'd ever get used to seeing something so surreal.

After I mounted Embry we set off into the forest at top speed. It only took us a few minutes to get back to the elegant house with the moonlit meadow. And before I knew it, I was sitting on the Cullen's couch again, as if the battle in the forest had never happened, except for the fact that Jacob was dialling in Charlie's number, about to see if his idea would work. I watched him intently, leaning into Embry in case I needed protection from any words of denial.

"Hey Charlie, Its Jacob."
