"James." Chloe felt like she couldn't breathe. Here he was, the monster who was tormenting her. Who had killed her cousin. Thinking of Lois her head snapped in that direction.

"Yes, you can imagine my shock seeing your cousin here alive," James spoke, still hidden in the shadows. "Quite a little ability you have."

Chloe took a step back; she needed to get to Edward. "No thanks to you, you bastard. Why did you do it?"

"To show you what happens when you make me angry. I saw you, you're supposed to be mine, and yet you were with him." James voice was a snarl. "I'd stop backing up if I were you. And if you yell out to him you won't like what happens."

"They'll kill you." Her words were a promise to the Tracker.

He stepped out of the shadows and inclined his head. "Maybe, but how many people will die first? I assure you I won't go down without a fight. If you don't come with me these people will die, and I'll make sure your cousin is one of them."

Oh god, what was she supposed to do? He would kill half the people in this room. She couldn't allow these people to die. She couldn't allow Lois to die, not again. "If I go with you then you won't hurt them?"

"You have my word," he spoke in a gentle tone. Well, gentle for a monster that was threatening to kill everyone in the room.

"Sorry if that doesn't make me overly confident that you won't kill them," she replied back with bite.

To Chloe's utter amazement, he laughed. "You can trust me on this, all I want is you."

Chloe took a deep breath while weighing her options. She didn't really have much of a choice now did she? She could either go with James, or watch people die. She couldn't allow someone to die because of her. Edward wouldn't understand, but she had no choice. "Fine, but know this, I will never be yours."

James grabbed her arm roughly and pulled her to him, squeezing to the point it was painful. "You will be."

"Chloe?" Lois's voice rang through the room. Chloe turned to look at her, along with the rest of her friends. She caught Edwards eye, and she mouthed out, 'I love you' to him. She sees him head towards her but she knew he wouldn't reach her in time. James swept her into his arms and they are gone.

------------

"I never understood his fascination with humans, not until I met you." James had taken Chloe to an old obviously abandoned warehouse. Looking around Chloe could tell this place was lived in. It must have belonged to a homeless person until James found it and killed them. James was pacing around and gathering different items that were good for torture. Chloe was terrified but she knew she couldn't run. Her best bet was to keep him talking until Edward and the others found her.

"Should I be flattered?" her sarcasm couldn't be helped, snark was her natural reflex. Even in a life and death situation she couldn't stop the snark from flowing.

James tilted his head toward her. "Yes you should, but first let's see if I can make you scream." He grabbed a knife from a box that was being used as a table. "I do have to make you pay for betraying me. You belong to me and you were with him. But unlike with Bella I can see what he sees in you. I have studied your past and I know all about you. You're a fascinating creature. Unlike most, you search for trouble, and baby you found it." Was he fucking crazy or something? She didn't go looking for trouble; it always found her!

"You're insane, you're twisted and need some serious help. You know absolutely nothing about me. You'll never know anything about me." She looked around again and saw the door was ajar. She couldn't beat his speed, that was obvious, but maybe she could distract him or something? There was a two by four on the ground and she knew that it wouldn't hurt him, but it was her only option. With a swift movement she bent down and grabbed the board, swinging it up and around into James's face where it shattered into a million pieces.

He was stunned for a few seconds and that was when she took her chance and ran. She didn't get very before James grabbed her by the arm and threw her back into a bunch of wooden crates. The crates broke at impact and Chloe screamed as a sharp end went right through her arm, causing her to bleed.

James leaned down where she was and licked the blood leaking from her arm. "You taste better than anything I have ever tasted before."

Then he bit her. Chloe screamed at the feeling of his teeth ripping into her flesh. He didn't bite her just once; he bit her over and over again. It was as though he couldn't get enough of the taste of her. Chloe could feel her body fighting off the effects of the venom. She knew she could handle one vampire bite, but what about many?

---------------------------------

The Justice League and the Cullens were at Oliver's penthouse. The Cullens were ready to attack and find her, but the JL were still strategizing. Edward was getting very impatient. He knew where she was; he could follow her scent, so why were they fucking waiting?

"We don't have time for this! We have to find her," he demanded, his voice full of tension.

"We will." Alice placed her hand on his shoulder but he just shook it off.

"So stop with the planning and let's get with the killing James," he said, turning his head in Oliver's direction. If one man wanted to save Chloe as much as he did, it would be Oliver.

Ollie nodded. "I'm in." He was dressed in his Green Arrow gear. "Let's go get your girl."

"I need to speak to my son first." Carlisle knew he should have told his son sooner but he was hoping that Chloe would have been able to tell him first. He grabbed Edward by the shoulders and let him to the balcony. "There is something you need to know, my son."

Edward didn't have time for this!

"What?" He normally never snapped at his father, but he needed to get to Chloe before she was hurt or worse. And it could be worse. So bad that he didn't even want to think about it but he really didn't have much of a choice, now did he? She could be killed, or turned or-

"Chloe can't die."

Edward's head snapped to Carlisle's direction. "What do you mean she can't die? I saw her die when she brought her cousin back from the dead, so I know very well she can die."

Carlisle sighed. "She can die to heal someone, yes, and she can be killed, but she will come back. Chloe came to me one day at the hospital and asked if I could do some tests to help determine the extent of her powers and I did."

Edward clenched his jaw. "You did tests on her? What kind of tests and why didn't you tell me?" He had a right to know. He should have known.

"She asked me to keep it between myself and her. She didn't know how you would react. We did many tests but I would rather not get into what they were, that is something you will have to ask her. But the fact is she cannot ever truly die. She could be dead when we find but she will not stay that way. Edward, if James has been watching her he could know this." Edward knew what Carlisle was talking about. If James knew he could try and change Chloe and if he failed, well it wouldn't be something Edward wanted to see because there would be hell to pay. Carlisle continued, "If she isn't dead, it will take her a while to heal because her body only heals itself if it's near death. We should probably go."

----------------

What happened next was a blur for Edward. The JL and Cullens found Chloe; well they found what was left of her so far. She was bloody, James had bitten her at least a few dozen times. Edward didn't even go after James, he let the others do that. He ran to Chloe's side where she was trying to be strong from the pain. He was scared, she wouldn't turn, Carlisle had basically told him that much but her body could mutate, change to handle the situation. With her abilities they didn't know what would happen.

"Edward, you came. I knew you would come for me." Her breathing was ragged. She was dying but she wouldn't stay dead. Edward knew that but that didn't mean he wanted to hold her while she died.

"I told you I would always come for you, I love you. Just hold on, okay, it will be alright, I promise." If vampires could cry he would have been, watching her lay there and trying to be so strong.

"Edward it b- it burns, it burns so badly." Tears were streaming down her face and Edward wished he could cry for her. He hated seeing her like this. He turned his head when he heard the others yelling that James had escaped. Damnit, he would come after her again!

"I know baby, I know it hurts, but it will be ok. I promise," his voice broke as she screamed out, and he felt his skin tingle as light engulfed them. It burned like flame but he didn't care, he wouldn't leave her, he could never leave her.

Preview for next time:

"Chloe, your eyes."

"What about them?"

"They're golden."

"Oh look they are, would ya look at that."

------

"If I'm not human but not a vampire what am I?"

"We're not sure. Your beating heart says your alive but your eyes say vampire. Do you hunger for blood?"

"That's the thing, I didn't for the JL or any other humans but I do want your blood."

"You crave my blood?"

"I can smell it and I, I need it Edward it burns knowing how badly I need it.'
