Lets all give a round of applause to the legend that is Stephanie Meyer, she is a truly talented writer. And without her the world would be deprived of the Cullens. I claim no rights to the story, my story is based on her characters but exploring a different plot.
Dedication: I am dedicating this entire chapter to all my loyal readers and reviewers... You all know who you are, and you have all given me the motivation to cary on writing this Twilight story, if it hadn't been for you it would have ended a while back.
Special thanks to 'Jasper says Relax-X who has now started reading some of my other stories (Harry Potter - Pregnant!? & Complications) And to answer your question about what inspired me to write this story... To be honest I just wrote, my inspiration didn't really come from anything. I guess the original character inspiration came from actual people I know, I based Shayne on my cousin and Luke on a friend of mine... but the story line only ever had a begining and end planned, whatever happened in the middle was a random thought or suggestion that one of the readers may have given me.
I hope you all enjoy this very last chapter :)
Previously...
I often wondered why Vampires couldn't sleep. I know we didn't need it, but what stopped us from closing our eyelids and letting our bodies and minds from resting simultaneously... we didn't need to be alert all day every day of the year, we weren't the ones who appealed to the most deadly predators in the world.
I inhaled Ryan's scent as I went into a state of meditation, enabling for the world around me to be blocked out, allowing for the large amount of time spent on nothingness to disappear quickly.
Chapter 10 (Last Chapter ever, meaning no sequels)
LPOV
Over a week had passed since I had forgiven Ryan for his mistake of sorts; it had taken some time for Ryan to convince me, but after telling me the thought of being with somebody else repulsed him was followed by a very intense and very long make out session. And if he had held it against me he had forgiven me for my 'slight' overreaction.
During this week we had spent all our time together, sitting next to each other in shared classes, and skipping the ones we didn't share, which on my behalf probably wasn't such a good idea because my eyes were now the blackest they had been in a while. I'd need to go hunting soon... today probably seeing as it was Friday. I walked quickly from my room, which has become quite a mess since forgiving Ryan and walked into the kitchen leaving a note on the surface before running out of the house and towards the forest in search of something better to hunt then deer.

I hated patrol, it was the only thing I couldn't get out of so that I could spend time with Luke which I had been doing quite a lot at the moment, so Jake had argued one night of patrol wouldn't hurt. And sadly not having the energy of a Vampire, I was too tired to do anything last night except sleep... which is why I now found myself getting dressed at my house, getting ready for a day of school with Luke, the simple thought of being with Luke put a smile on my face.
After a quick goodbye to my parents, I got into my car, and drove to the not so far away Cullen house reaching it in a matter of minutes, immediately hopping out and walk towards the door as a strong breeze coming from the nearby woods wafts a particularly pleasant and tantalizing scent towards me, one that I recognise to be Luke's. I smile as I walk back towards my car taking off my clothes in the process and then them in there, quickly shifting into my wolf form before running off in the direction of the scent's origin.
LPOV
The only thought that currently seemed to be going through my mind was 'hunt' which led to all civilised thoughts being overpowered by the primal urge to catch, kill and feed, the latter of the two could be done in reverse order... of course it didn't really matter to me, as long as the civilised parts of me were still in contact with my mind, I would be able to eventually work my way out of this wild frenzy that my vampire instincts caused whenever I was hungry, whenever I let them dominate my mind.
I felt the wind change direction as I heard a rustle in the bushes behind me, I froze as the scent which appealed to me more so then anybody else's reached my nose, that part of me which was being suppressed was fighting the urge to spring and drain as much blood as possible. I smile as a snap of a twig echoes throughout the forest while I simultaneously turn round to face my very own brand of heroin stared back at me with what I can assume was a goofy grin, it's kinda hard to tell when he is in his wolf form.
I sprung as my feral side finally found the sought after difficult prey, my teeth sinking past the fur and thick skin, the warm metallic taste of blood undistinguishable from the scent that was engulfing me as I drained the blood slowly from Ryan, a low growl escaping from both our mouths. I didn't feel the shifting wolf form beneath me as it changed back into its human one, the lack of fur oblivious to me as I drained more blood at a slow pace.
"Luke!" Ryan shouts trying to get my attention, failing as his blood holds my attention, "You're hurting me!" I freeze as my more civilised and rationalised self takes back the reigns, I quickly remove my teeth and back away causing the tree I end up leaning against to shudder.
"I'm sorry," I whisper as I watch the skin heal over, the occasional flinch of Ryan's body caused by the pain of the venom now running through his system. I felt the urge to move closer and comfort him, but resisted it not knowing whether I would be able to handle being in such close contact again. "I-I" I stutter as I try to explain, hoping he won't hate me, "I couldn't control myself... I was too far gone."
"It's ok," Ryan mumbles as he looks at me and smiled grimly. "We're immune to your venom... stings like I don't know what though," I feel myself flinch as I remember the burning sensation wondering if that's what he was feeling now. "Are you ok?" he asks as he crawls over to me, worry on his face.
"Yeah, why?" I ask before everything in front of me blacks out.
RPOV
I felt terror flood my body as I watched Luke fall into a heap as he... fainted? It wasn't possible for Vampires to faint or sleep or anything of the sorts... they always remained awake.
"Maybe it was my blood," I whisper to myself as I quickly fling him on my back, Vampires had never drank our blood.... the scent normally repulsed them. I quickly shifted into my wolf form and ran back towards the Cullens.
"What happened?" I flinch inwardly as both Jake and Josh shout inside their minds with worry; I imagine both of them must have seen the last few images of me being 'attacked' before shifting into my human form.
"I'm fine" I think back, "He was hunting, I didn't know and crossed his path... It was an accident."
"The Cullens are going to need to know about this... It goes against the Treaty." Jake thought as he stopped running in my direction, knowing that I now was safe.
"Sod the Treaty, I have an unconscious Vampire on my back," this surprises them like it had surprised me. "I don't care that he bit me, it was an accident... Could you get in contact with Bella, he needs to see Carlisle." I feel the bitterness as if it were my own before Jake replied.
"You're only forgiving him because he's your imprint,"
"Would any other Vampire bight a werewolf?" I ask as I smile to myself as I realise Josh is still running in the same direction I was heading, towards the Cullen house.
"I'll go ring her now," I thanked him before he disappeared, telling Josh I was at the Cullen house I too disappeared and put my clothes on before taking him inside the large house laying him on the very large sofa.
LPOV
I feel... an immense soothing sensation flooding throughout my body a sensation that would have been greatly appreciated when I was changed into a Vampire. I guess it could be described as cool water trailing over my body, but I don't know what would be the cause of it.
"I don't know... this is a highly unusual case... I've never come across one, and am fairly certain this is the first occurrence of such a thing occurring." I hear the quiet but frustrated ramblings of Carlisle as if he was a fair distance away from me.
As his words process in my mind I think back to my last memory before feeling this weird sensation. A fair guess would be that it was the blood of Ryan that had done this to me. Not that I minded really, I enjoyed the thought of perhaps being unconscious, something that no Vampire had managed.
"He'll be all right Ryan..." I hear a familiar voice, which could be mistaken for Ryan's to the untrained vampire ear, but I recognised it as someone else's... perhaps his brother.
"I hope so," I hear the voice I had been longing to hear since I had awoken from whatever you wish to call, as a simultaneous tightened grip of my hand reassures me.
* * * * * * * *
I noticed a while back that the soothing sensation had started to recede, leaving my toes and fingertips in favour of retreating closer to my chest, A characteristic that reminded me of Vampire Venom... except without the whole burning going on.
I wasn't quite sure of how long I had been lying here, but the sensation had prevented any movement, the comfort of this new found feeling also preventing the movement of limbs in case it were to cause the sensation to go away. But if this was anything like the change into a Vampire, I don't imagine I would be laying her for much longer as the soothing had left my limbs quite a while back and was now centralised around my chest.
I had long since heard the mutterings of people around me, wondering if they had disappeared, stopped talking, or whether I had simply gone death... the latter two of the three more likely as the reassuring strong hand never left mine.
RPOV
I had watched for just under three days as Luke's skin regained the colouring it must of had before being changed into a Vampire, a radiant golden tan that must have come from living in one of the sunnier states like California. The tan looked better with his golden yellow blonde hair then the pale skin had.
I wasn't sure how this was going to end; we had all assumed that he was turning back into a normal human as he was losing his Vampire attributes. So far Carlisle has thought of two theories; the first being that Luke would live a normal life, and the second that he would die within seconds due to him actually being older than one hundred years. The former was the more likely as Carlisle said, due to him being frozen in time, and bodies don't age when time stands still.... So hopefully everything would be fine.
LPOV
I inwardly smiled as the soothing sensation seemed to concentrate in my heart, I knew in a matter of minutes my eyes would flicker open again, and I would be looking through emerald green eyes instead of the ruby red, topaz yellow or onyx black.
It was a weird sensation, one that was indescribable after not feeling it for a very long time, but it felt strange to have something beating within you, and the urge to breath to fill your lungs was just as weird and I know would take some getting use to.
I guess this is where I open my eyes.
RPOV
"Is that... his heart?" Carlisle asks as he examines Luke, before rushing out of the room where Luke had been moved to for some privacy. I could hear him gushing to the rest of the coven as he told them of the miracle which had just occurred in this room... the changing of a vampire back into a human.
"Ryan?" I hear the murmur come from Luke's voice as his eyes open to reveal startlingly green orbs behind the eye lids.
"I'm here Luke."
"Am I human again?" I hear him ask, I reply with a quick nod a smile appearing on his lips but quickly replaced with a frown.
"Do you still love me?" he asks, I smile as I lean in and brush my lips softly against his own before answering.
"Always and forever," I lean back in and leave my lips to linger on his.
