I have just recovered from some serious writing blockage so sorry for the delay in updates...

I watched the ivory fang fly from Jenny's mouth a spurt of blood accompanying its fall to the cave floor. Jacob was behind me, growling at what I thought was Sara and obviously isn't. Emmett is on the other side of the cave, having just found his arm and busily trying to reattach it. Alice however is in the worst position. Sar-Cole threw her into the wall. Hard. She hasn't moved since and that's bad 'cause as far as I know vampires do not pass out. Cole had backed off for the moment and I used the brief respite to contact Jenny. 'We need to get out of here. Bring the others and try again.'

'We can't. If we leave Cole alone with Zoe he'll kill her.' Yeah way to throw a spanner in the works oh helpful leader. 'Stop it. Now is not the time to be childish. We need to decide. Do we destroy Sara's body to save Zoe or not?' I don't know.

'I can't just kill one of them Jenny!' I saw Cole move slightly out of the corner of my eye but then my sister's body stopped moving again.

'You have to.' Emmett had finally seen Alice's limp form if his enraged roar was anything to go by. He threw himself at Cole, smashing the stolen body to the ground with a sickening crack of breaking bones. Still Cole didn't move or speak.

'What's going on? Why isn't he moving?' Jacob moved forwards placing a huge paw on Emmett's shoulder to stop the giant vampire before he hit his opponent again.

'I don't know. Either Sara's fighting him or he took over too early and her body shut down. It's impossible to tell.' I let out a barking laugh; nothing ever seems to go right these days. I swear Forks is cursed. I looked between both of my unmoving sisters for a second, already knowing what I would choose.

'Do it.' Jenny padded forwards, towards Sara. Emmett and Jacob backed away letting her through. I watched my Alpha place her jaws over my sister's throat, her dark eyes sending a silent apology my way as I turned, leaving the cave.

I felt my limbs stop moving. I could see through my own eyes too. I saw everyone stop moving and then I heard a loud roar. As soon as a huge wall of muscle that could only have been Emmett collided with me I lost sight again. I was lost in the dark. "You really are stronger than I gave you credit for." Cole's voice had an echoey feel to it.

"My mother calls it hardheadedness." I bit back, happy that I could speak aloud.

"This is your head Sweetheart. You're not speaking aloud and neither am I. You failed."
"Well at least you're not in control anymore." That was something good at least.

"Amazing how you can be so optimistic as a werewolf prepares to rip your head off." Oh snap. Ironic thing is that's what my neck will be saying in a few minutes. "Jennifer will do the honors I'm sure." Shut up. "Save your sister the trouble, you know." Shut up. "But hey on the bright side; at least I'm going down with you right?" I thought I told you to-

"SHUT UP!" I heard Sara's voice echo throughout the cave behind me, making me jump almost a foot into the air. I didn't know if it was Sara or Cole in control but I did know that I had to go back inside. I ran back into the cavern to see Sara standing up, her neck bleeding slowly, one arm twisted at an unnatural angle while the other was wrapped around obviously broken ribs and Jenny was sat at her feet, an almost proud grin on her muzzle.

"Cutting it a bit fine weren't you?" Emmett asked just a little bit of hostility left in his tone.

"I've never been that good at being on time." It was definitely Sara. I growled softly, half to let her know I was there and half about the fact that she stunk of sulfur. She turned to me and instantly seemed to shrink back. "I'm sorry." Oh come on! The one time I actually want to stay angry with her and she pulls out the patented 'Soliz guilt trip in a look' trick that Zoe perfected last year. I nod, knowing she'll understand.

"You ok?" Emmett moved closer seeing her sway on the spot lightly.

"Yeah. Broken arm, ribs, bleeding neck and a dumb old demon kicking up a fuss in my skull. I'm a perfect ten, thanks Em." I rolled my eyes. Typical Sara.

"Well I do hate to say I told you so." Can it Jennifer. Zoe moaned in pain, tossing around, limbs flailing and eyes screwed up. Sara blanched, taking a shaky step closer.

"Zo…come on sis." She was whispering obviously unaware we could all hear her. "Wake up." I joined her wanting to tell her that Zoe wouldn't wake up for another day or so but unable to for obvious reasons.

The cave was quiet. That wouldn't normally seem weird to me but there was a key thing that in the room that stopped making a noise. I couldn't hear Zoe's heartbeat anymore.

ZPOV

The fire was unbelievable. It had invaded every part of my body. Fighting my blood for presence in my veins and winning too if the pain was any judgment. My heart had been stuttering away skipping every few beats before beating away again. I could hear voices too. Couldn't tell whose they were or what they were saying but voices all the same.

My breathing hitched a second ago, strange that I'm only realizing it now. I've also only just realized that this is it. I'm dying. And of course me being perfectly on time my heart hasn't beat for nearly ten seconds. I should panic but acceptance is easier. The fire's stopped burning through my veins too so that's good. Looks like I get to die in peace after all.

"Wake up." Hm. That sounds like Sara and there's a cold, wet thing poking my hand. Oh right yeah, my other sisters a dog-sorry werewolf.

"She's not ready yet." Wow Emmett's here too. "And we really should get her and Alice out of here." Alice? Alice is hurt? "Jasper is going to kill you Sara." Sara hurt Alice? What did I miss? There's my motivation for waking up.

SPOV

I can pick out the individual beads of sweat on my little sister's face, which is weird. I can also see the tiny dent in the back of Alice's head and the not flowing drops of blood nestled into her chaotic hair. I know Emmett's right because Alice is a vampire and vampires do not, under any circumstances, get knocked out. I sigh looking away from Zoe. Alice is cradled in Emmett's arms and I let him pick Zoe up too. The pain in my ribs and right arm is more of a dull burning right now. Bearable. But if my neck doesn't stop bleeding anytime soon I'm going to pass out. Demon or not. "It'd be easier for me if you passed out now rather than later Princess. I'll have more energy to work with then."
