Paige was walking through the town of Rosewood. It was the official first day of summer vacation. In a month she would have to start getting up early again for swim practices, but for now, the early mornings were hers to run wherever she wanted to. And right now she was running through the a row of houses in the middle of town. Running passed the Montgomery house, Paige waved at Aria Montgomery. A small brunette girl that Paige had gone to school with since pre-k. Wondering shy she was up so early with a moving van in her drive way, Paige kept up her pace racing through the town.

An hour later Paige's question as to why Aria was up so early was answered. There in the back of the moving van stood an olive skinned brunette that Paige had never seen before. She hadn't even realized that she stopped running and was standing there starring at the girl until she waved at Paige. Paige felt her face heat up as she waved at the girl in the crimson red tank top.

That same crimson red was now staining Paige's hands. She was on her knees now, leaning over that very same girl. Emily. Blood poured out of the hole that was now in her abdomen, eyes shut and face pale. "You know what to do now, Paige, let your instinct take over!" Spencer yelled at her from her spot on the lawn. Lisa stood beside Spencer, horrified at what she just saw take place, not daring to speak.

"I don't know what your talking about!" Paige yelled. "I don't know what instincts you are talking about! What the fuck did you do!"

"Paige, you know." Spencer said. How could she be so calm right now, Paige thought. "Paige, close your eyes and focus."

Paige did as she was told and closed her eyes. She felt her heart breaking in two for Emily. She just met her, and was already losing her. It was causing a storm in Paige. Something that she hadn't felt since her fathers passing. So she did as Spencer instructed and let her 'instincts' take over.

As if they had a mind of their own Paige's hands made fast work of removing the knife from Emily's stomach. Thank God Emily was not awake at the time, for Paige didn't think she could handle any noise from the girl. She then lifted Emily's shirt up so that it was bunched above her wound. Upon seeing the holes in her stomach Paige let out a soft whimper. Laying her hands on Emily's stomach Paige felt and ache in own. Looking down at her own shirt she saw blood seeping through at the same spot on her that was on Emily. Lifting her hands from Emily's stomach she saw that the girl no longer had a stab wound. All that was left that proved something had happened was dry blood and a hole in her shirt.

Paige then looked down and saw that her own stab wound was starting to heal. The skin made quick work of patching and putting together the skin that moments ago had been ripped open. Soon enough Paige just had a blood stain to match Emily's. Paige glanced up at Spencer and her mother, both of which were watching intensely to see what would happen. Spencer nodded at Paige, and she immediately lifted Emily off the ground and took her in the house and rested her on the couch.

Once settled Paige felt the rage that was building earlier towards Spencer return. Turning she wrapped both her hands around Spencer neck and slammed her against the nearest wall. Holding her off the ground by her neck gave Spencer enough room to put her feet on the wall and push off, causing both girls to slam into the coffee table, collapsing it and smashing it to pieces. Paige flipped them over and put her hands around Spencer neck again, squeezing as tightly as she could. Spencer's face started to turn red from the lack of air. Paige then leaned down further into her, pushing even harder on Spencer.

Emily awoke to the sound of something crashing across the room. Before she had time to process what had happened earlier or where she was, she heard a terrible growl and Paige scream. She had never seen someone with so much anger and rage in her life. It scared her how angry Paige looked. But what scared her more than that, was what Paige was currently doing to her best friend from home.

Emily walked over to where the two were and layed her hand on Paige's back. She felt the skin beneath her hand twitch, but Paige didn't stop her movements. So Emily did the only thing she could think to do, the only thing that worked earlier when Paige was hurting. She took her body and layed it completely on Paige's back, wrapping her arms around her neck and her legs around her stomach. She was completely off the ground, locked around Paige. Then she squeezed. Squeezed as hard as she could to the girl she was laying on. Whispering in her ear, "Paige, please stop" over and over again.

Paige froze in her actions, letting the tickle of Emily's breathe on her ear sooth her. Pull her from her actions. She then put a hand on Emily to hold her against her as she stood from her spot over Spencer. Spencer stood up fast and stepped forward towards Paige. Paige tightened her hold on Emily and began to step back, back until she felt the wall stop her from progressing. Spencer stopped, and then turned and sat down on the couch.

"You did exactly what you were supposed to do." Spencer said, calmly.

"What was that some kind of test? You could have killed her!" Paige screamed, Spencer's calm demeanor pissing her off even more.

"Paige, hear her out at least." Emily spoke up from her spot behind Paige, placing a hand on her back.

"Emily she could have killed you. She almost did!" Paige said.

"I knew you could save her, I just needed to see how far along you were." Spencer said.

Paige let out a low growl towards the girl. Emily grabbed Paige's hand and pulled her into the kitchen so she could have the girls full attention.

"I need to test her. See how far along she is. It is how I will know for sure how to help her." Spencer said to the two woman seated before her. "And there is only one way to get her back here right now."

"Spencer, I don't understand. Why did you never tell me this was who you are? I would have accepted you! It was almost a whole 2 years!" Emily said to her.

"Come on Emily, would you have really believed me if I had told you that I was becoming a werewolf? I didn't believe it myself at first, not until I started showing signs like Paige is." Spencer said.

"You never even gave me a chance. We have been best friends since we were five years old! Give me more credit than that. I told you that I was gay" Emily said.

"I really don't think you can use those two for comparison." Spencer said with a small laugh, causing Emily to do the same.

"It really is ok you know? I accept it. It actually explains a lot about you now that I think about it. You being really good at track." Emily said

"Yea, we get really good at running distances in a short amount of time. It is how I got here so quick after Lisa called me." Spencer said.

"We need to bring her back Spence." Emily said "I need her back."

"I don't think you are going to like my plan very much, it will cause you pain and hurt her" Spencer said.

"So she came up with this plan to get you back here, although I didn't know she was going to stab me. That part was a surprise." Emily explained to Paige the parts of the conversation she had missed between the two hen she took off.

"So the plan, that you knew of, was to get you scared to get me back here?" Paige asked.

"Can we just let her explain it to you? She really is better." Emily pleaded.
