My breathing became eradicate as I got farther and farther into the woods.

I stood still and looked around me for a quick moment.

It was so dark at night, especially in the middle of the forest. There was no other light source except for the crescent moon.

I stumbled around a bit till I hit a rock.

I slid onto the moss filled rock and buried my face into my hands.

Embry is right. It is difficult.

It feels like my body is being torn into two places. A part of me screams that it's logical to not get into a relationship at this time in my life. My life has barely started and once a relationship like that begins, there's no turning back. The other part aches to be with Embry. It wants to fall. It doesn't want to be restrained anymore. It says, "Who cares if there's no turning back? Full speed ahead!"

Both are so powerful, but equal power.

I wonder if it's possible for you to split apart. Could two conflicting opinions in your mind make you go crazy? Probably.

How can I fight it though? Every time I get around him my heart starts to race and I feel jittery. He makes me nervous, but a good nervous. Every time I see him smile, it's impossible for me not to smile. I always know that if I'm every down that Embry will always be there to pick me up and make me smile. Too see his dark brown eyes always seems to cheer me up anyway.

I groaned into my hands.

His warm and silky lips always seem to call to me. Especially when he frowns. I want to kiss his frown away.

"Stop it right now, Carmella," I said to myself.

I rubbed my eyes and decided I should maybe find a way out of the forest. I didn't exactly know where I was, but started to walk the way I came from.

As I began to walk, my thoughts seemed to drift out of my mind and to really think about how eerie the forest is.

I could only hear my feet as they crunched on the cold ground. I rubbed my hands together feeling the night air stinging them. I blew on the for the warmth of my breath and stared ahead into the pitch black forest.

My heart skipped a beat as I swear I saw a flash of white go through the forest.

I blinked a couple of times to try to clear my vision.

It went by again and it seemed to be closer.

"Hello," I muttered to the forest?

I screamed and fell back onto my hands as a pale white face appeared in front of me.

"Nessie," I squinted as I recognized the heart faced women.

She looked at me, her face showing how confused and shocked she was.

"Carmella, what are you doing out here," her angelic voice asked?

I stood up and wiped my hands off on my jeans, "For fresh air."

She put a hand on her hip, "All the way out here for fresh air?'

"Where is all the way out here," I asked glancing around for any sign of civilization?

"You're close to my family's house."

"Across the border," I asked shocked?

How far did I go? I didn't think I went that far and in the wrong direction too.

She nodded her head, her copper curls bouncing with her.

Wow, I went that far. I really should pay attention more.

"So what are you doing out here," I questioned her this time?

Her alabaster skin turned pink, "I don't think I'm allowed to tell the truth and I really hate to lie."

I crossed my arms over my chest. Maybe she could tell me the real reason why her and her family are visiting. You can embarrass her easily enough.

"Then just tell me the truth. If the wolves are involved I think I should be in the know," I said one of my statements that I said as a child whenever the pack had to "take care of business."

She bit her lip, "That's what I think, but everyone else thinks differently. Trust me, I know. It was long before they would tell me anything."

"So tell me."

"I-I-I cant," she bit her lip harder and her skin turned from pink to scarlet.

"Come on, Nessie. Please."

I tried to make my voice sound pitiful, but it was kind of hard to let my guard down to the only person in the world that makes me jealous. If I want to know the truth, I must do whatever it takes.

"Fine," she breathed out a breath, "Alice saw a vision of the Volturi coming back here."

What?

"Alice? The vamp that sees the future?"

She bit her lip and looked around at the forest surrounding us warily, nodding her head yes.

"The Volturi? As in the royal vamps?"

She nodded her head again.

"So, what do they want," I asked, getting worried now?

She shrugged her shoulders, "That's why we came back."

"You were all gone though, so why would they want to come back here?"

"We think that their coming after the wolves. To be exact, Alice saw that their destination was La Push."

This is bad. This is really bad. See, people need to tell me this kind of stuff.

"So what were you doing out here alone in the woods," I asked?

"I was helping patrol with Jake."

So were not alone, "Where is he now?"

"He's still patrolling around us."

Creepy, I can't even hear anything. I glanced around the forests for any sign of a bear sized wolf, but there was no evidence of such a large animal speeding around us.

"Do you know the way back," I asked, looking once more at my surroundings for any evidence of how far I wondered?

"Right," she nodded her head, "This way-"

She was cut short as a howl pierced the night.

It was a howl I know so well. A warning howl. A vampire is lose.

Nessie and I both glanced at each other not really sure what to do.

Another howl followed, but this one was different. It was a pained howl. It screeched into the night, breaking the silence in the forest.

"Come on quick," Nessie said, getting ready to put me up on her back!

"Not so quick, Renesmee," a cold voice commanded.

I spotted a young girl around the age of twelve walk out from behind a close tree. Her porcelain skin shined in the dark forest and her red eyes glowing with joy. Joy like a serial killer has as he watches his victim die. Her voice sounded childlike making her even more eerie. She reminded me of the little girls in horror movies that always end up being possessed.

"Hello, Jane," Nessie said, staying calm. She gently pushed me away from the side of her and behind her.

Jane smirked and tilted her head to the side, "You remember me?"

"Who wouldn't," Nessie asked?

She was right. I would never forget this girl.

"You are quite remember able, sister," another voice sounded in the forest.

A boy that looked just like Jane, walked out from behind a tree from behind me. I jumped back and Nessie moved so she was in front of me again. The boy walked over and stood next to Jane.

"I guess you're right, Alec," she smiled at him, "Now onto business. You are free to go Renesmee or you are going to have to come with us."

What? That makes no sense?

"What do you want then," Nessie asked the two twins?

"Her of course," Alec pointed at me and flashed me his razor sharp teeth.

Me? Why and who would want me?

Nessie glanced at me confused to, but I just shrugged my shoulders.

"Why would you want, Carmella," she asked?

Even though I knew it wasn't meant to be a bash, I couldn't help but cringe at her words.

"We will discuss this with Aro, but for now you must leave peacefully, or," Jane smirked, "We will just have to take you too."

"I'm coming with," Nessie announced.

It was my turn to look at her confused. Why would she want to risk being killed over being able to be free?

"You don't have to, Ness," I said, my voice quivering, "You should go tell the others."

She shook her head, "No, I'm coming with. The others will already know what's happening by the howl. I'm not going to leave you alone."

I was surprised, but also flattered that she was willing to get captured with the royal vamps with me. I blushed a bit because I truly didn't know if I would stay with her if it was reversed.

"Suit yourself," Alec shrugged and before my eyes could comprehend what was happening I was flung into the air, landing on his back.

I watched as another vampire came out of the forest and held one of Nessie's wrists while Jane held the other. I watched as she fought there restraints and she bared her teeth at them. They plunged a syringe into her air. Her head went slack and the other male vampire slung her onto his back. Her bronze curls covering up her face.

"Come on, Demetri," said Jane holding out her hand impatiently.

Demetri glared at the back of Jane and took out another syringe, handing it to her waiting hand. She clicked it a couple of times and smiled at me, heading straight my way.

I realized that I was being captured. I was going with vampires that eat human beings. Drain there blood and are satisfied with themselves that their higher up on the food chain.

I screamed as loud as I could.

"Daddy," I screamed into the biting cold air, "Embry!"

Nothing. No one was coming. It was the party all over again, except this time no one was coming to save me. I was being whisked away by super beings. Monsters.

I flinched as Jane stabbed the needle into my arm. My screaming got less audible by the second. My vision turning everything into a blur. My head felt so heavy so I rested on Alec's stone cold, hard shoulder. Anything to get rid of the weight. I could hear my once screams, now just a hum.

No! I have to fight!

I lifted up my head and it lolled to the side.

I felt another pinch in my arm. The weight increased to a point where it was impossible to hold it up, but once again it stayed a centimeter away from falling onto Alec's shoulder.

"Forget into, Jane," I felt Alec's back rumble as he spoke, "She can't do anything else."

"She's a stubborn one," Jane grumbled.

Embry's P.O.V.

I stood by the car still stunned at what happened. I'm not even quite sure what happened. One second we were kissing the next she went running for the dark forest.

Brady and Collin insisted to question me. They are like her big brothers I guess. They sure act like it. Josh frowned at me, shaking his head in disappointment.

I just can't catch a break.

"What the hell do you think you're doing, Call," Brady stood in front of me?

I guess he and Collin were supposed to be intimidating as they stood there, arms crossed. They both had their shoulders pulled back to reach their full height, but we all knew that I could take both of them together at the same time. I had much more experience and am much bigger.

"What were you trying-"

Collin got stopped as we all heard the howl in the woods. A warning. We looked at each other confused at what was happening. It took the next pain filled howl to get us moving.

We ushered Josh into the house, despite his protest. We ripped of all of clothes off as fast as we could, the lawn getting redecorated with our clothing.

All I hoped for was Carmella to be away out of trouble.

I'm sure she's all right, dude.

Seth answered into my head.

How the hell would you know! Carmella went freaking running into the forest all because of me!

Calm yourself man! Seth shouted once more. Remember, Jake and Nessie were patrolling. A vampire would never get through those two.

I growled at him in my head.

I skidded in my tracks as I caught a scent. It was Carmella. Her smell of fresh air and a hint of a clove type of smell. It was only laced with the sickly sweet smell of vampire. It burned my nose, setting my nose a blaze.

I felt all the Pack's minds drift all to my thoughts and we all started running in the same direction. I pumped my legs in time with my racing heart.

Shouts of the pack trying to comfort me swirled in my brain like annoying flies.

I wanted them all to shut up!

I couldn't even think straight.

Everyone had multiple words and conversations flowing through their minds, while only one word repeated itself.

Carmella.

That one beautiful word that could actually make or break my world.

My heart went flying into the pit of my stomach all the way into my throat, all at the same time, as I dug my paws into the moist dirt of the forest.

Jake's russet wolf layed limp on the ground. His slow heart pumped his still flowing blood.

I watched as his eyes fluttered opened and lock eyes with me, but close again. I felt as his mind entered our pack's mind.

Nessie.

He seems to have the same problem as I do.

'What happened, Jake.' Brady nudged Jake's head.

I watched as his body breathed in a large breath.

Jake? Seth's worried voice asked, as he entered where we all stood? He came from the Cullen's.

They took her. Jake's mind voice even seemed slow.

They took who? I asked, more worried than ever?

Nessie.

Just Nessie. I sighed with relief. So where was Carmella?

They took her. Jake's tired voice said again.

I'm sorry, man. Collin sighed. We will get her back, she's tuff. Part vampire.

Jake's large russet head shook a bit.

Where are the Cullen? I asked.

They are a little freaked out, Em. Seth sighed. They took their daughter. Their on there way.

No. Jake said. They took her too.

My relief faded.

Brady and Collin mentally gulped.

They took who? Seth asked.

Seth pushed at Jake's limp body.

Carmella.

The one thing. It broke my world.

I fell on the ground, as limp as Jake, even though I didn't even get beat up.

Everything inside of me felt like jelly. I couldn't move as I was told by Edward to do.

Stupid bloodsucker.

We needed to put things into action. I was going to run all the way to wherever things mother fuckers live. I was going to personally rip each one of their limbs off and watch as their soulless bodies burned in the fire, where they belong. They deserve the fire of hell.

Everyone around me was to calm. Using calm voices as a therapist would.

Carmella could be getting torched. Or worse, being turned into a freaking bloodsucker!

I cringed, but forced my jelly legs up off the ground. I was going to fight with all the power I have got. Sitting on the forest ground is not going to save my Carmella.

"Embry, calm yourself," Edward sighed, "You need to have a clear mind."

Calm down! How the hell can I calm down?

"Because a clear mind will let you think better," Edward said, taking a break from pressing at the bridge of his nose to look at me.

I forget he probably wants to go kill those leeches almost as much as I do, almost.

Edward smirked over at me in agreement.

I huffed a large breath in my wolf form.

I watched as the doctor bloodsucker helped Jake up. He had a few broken ribs, but they healed after a while. He only was now disturbed by the thought of Nessie being taken. Almost as much as I'm disturbed at Carmella being taken, almost.

Brady and Collin stood around, from after tuning back into humans, jittery with anxiety. They were itching to get going to catch the leeches.

We were told that there was no point in trying to chase them down now. We still aren't sure exactly what they came here for. Jake passed out before he could actually get any information. He was jumped before he could actually do anything, only the warning howl.

"They injected you with morphine, that's the reason you passed out," Carlisle said, looking over Jake.

He jerked as he poked at one of his ribs and hissed a cuss word in his head.

"If you turn back, it will help," Carlisle said, with an apologetic tone.

I listened as Jake struggled with himself, to calm his thought down enough to shift. He just couldn't though as he struggled. I myself know how he feels. Too many emotions coursed through my veins. Anger, worry, sad, hate, and scared, the whole shebang. I couldn't shift back no matter how much I wanted to or needed to.

"He can't, Carlisle," Edward sighed.

Carlisle nodded his head, "I understand."

It was only Edward and Carlisle that showed up to our group. I have no clue what the rest of the bloodsuckers were doing, but in all truth, I really could care less.

"You should tell Carmella's parents, Embry," Edward turned to me.

Shit, that's right! Sam is going to blow up, literally. Emily was going to have a mad fit and start baking up a storm like it was going out of style.

We need to do something. I replied in my thoughts.

He nodded his head, "Right after you inform Sam, come over to our house. We will discuss further actions."

I nodded my head was and sped off into the forest, Brady and Collin on my heels.

What are we going to do? Collin whined in my mind.

I growled at him. I couldn't take his crap on top of all my stuff.

We all stepped out into the front lawn and like I imagined Sam was waiting in the middle of the grass.

His stern alpha face never seemed to leave his face and never faltered. It was a mask, atleast that's what Carmella always says. It's to hide all the emotions that he really has because he thinks he has to be strong for the rest of us.

Emily ringed her hands, just like Carmella, and stood on the front porch. Her almond shaped eyes glanced at us three wolfs with worry.

Who the hell is going to shift back? I asked the two behind me.

I-I think you should do it man. Brady answered me, his thoughts shaky.

I was I going to shift back. There was too much going on right now!

I noticed Emily hurried into the house. I heard pots and pans start banging around in the kitchen.

Sam's jaw locked as he watched us with his intense stare.

Think! Think!

Carmella. Beautiful Carmella. How her dark brown hair falls down past her shoulders. Her slim figure that fits perfectly with mine. Her silky lips that meet mine in such a perfect way it sets every fiber of my being on fire.

I felt the true tingling sensations rip through my body. The fire that burned so that all my bones could shift to change back into a man's body, only lasted less than a second.

I grabbed the clothes off the grass quickly and slipped them on.

That moment of thought made me think my Carmella was still here. No, those filthy leeches had her.

That reminds me I have to get this done to actually start to find her.

"Embry," Sam grunted.

It's awful. Emily seems to know what happened with the sounds of her extra banging around and the stereo turned up. He didn't seem to know one bit, or else he would be a big ball of fur right now.

"They took her," I stated, simple and sweet. No beating around the bush, like he always said he liked it.

He looked at me his face twisted up in confusion.

"Those mother fucking royal bloodsuckers took Carmella, Sam," I grounded my teeth together. My voice was laced with all the hatred I had for those leeches. All the joy I would have to burn their soulless bodies.

I watched as his body shook with anger.

He was going to shift.

He breathed in through his nose and out through his mouth. Each breath that came out of his mouth sounded like a growl and seemed to get more animalistic each time.

He did, like I thought.

His black wolf took his place. His cuss filled mind entered ours. There were no real thoughts, only lots of cussing and planning of murder.

His head snapped to Brady's.

He did not just think that.

I growled at the cowering Brady. He just thought about why she went running into the woods. What happened before that made her go running into the pitch black forest. Me. It was my entire fault. I deserve whatever Sam was about to do to me. I deserve death for putting such an angel into danger.

His black eyes met mine. His lips pulled back over his gleaming white teeth.

I'm sorry. I thought to him as he pounced.

I DO NOT own Twilight. So, tell me what you think? It's very much appreciated when you give me feedback. Thank you for all who reads! Review!
