AN: OMG. Longest freaking chapter, yet! God, after I wrote this I'm like "Whew."

Took alot outta me. ^_^;

But yeah, I hope everyone enjoys this chapter!

Please Review!

I couldn't sleep at all last night... I tried and tried and nothing worked. I tried counting the number of drops of water that came from the faucet in the kitchen, counting the number of Billy's snores, the T.V.'s commercials... Nothing worked.

Since I just couldn't sleep I got up and paced around the kitchen. The microwave oven had a digital clock installed and it read 6:49AM. Time had passed. Unbelievably slowly. We were basically out of food, I'd have to remember to go out for Billy later. I sighed into the darkness and headed outside on the porch.

The night had turned colder then usual, and the storm had turned to a light drizzle. It felt good against my arms and legs as the hung of the side of the railings.

"How ironic," I muttered. The moon was full. I should go around howling, had Billy not still be asleep.

I don't know how long I stayed out there. Long enough for the moon to fall and the sun to rise. Long enough that the drizzle stopped and all that remained was mud. Long enough that Billy woke up, and I realized I hadn't moved from this spot in what seemed like hours.

I sagged to my feet, all my joints felt stiff. I cracked my knuckles and twisted my head to get the kinks out of my neck.

"How long you been out there, Cy?" Billy asked. He looked like he had a restless sleep too.

"Not sure. Since six, I think."

"It's only nine. Charlie will be here in about an hour."

I nodded. "Need help getting the fishing stuff?"

"If you don't mind..." he trailed off.

"It's fine. I'm taking up your space anyway, the least I can do is help. I bet Collin and Brady will be here soon anyway."

I walked out to the garage without waiting for Billy's response. Nine... That meant it was only two hours away, the fight. I'm sure Seth already headed out to meet up with Bella and the Pack is probably all at the fighting arena waiting. Cullens, too.

I wished Seth had come by that morning, maybe that was the reason I sat outside. I had hoped he'd come by so I could say... I don't know. I'm not sure I would say goodbye or anything, but maybe I could've hugged him and told him he better come back safe. I wasn't sure.

I got everything that I figured looked relitivly like fishing stuff and headed back out to Billy. As Billy was checking everything out I heard an engine rev and then Charlie's police cruiser pulled up the drive. He stepped out and nodded a Hello to me, then started loading up Billy's things.

"'Bout time you got here, Charlie." Billy joked.

"I got here early enough." Charlie muttered.

"You're so slow though, I'm about to get all of this and roll it down to the dock faster then you can load it and drive there." Billy was rushing. I wasn't sure why. Maybe Collin and Brady were on the way, not that he would know that for sure. Maybe he just wanted to get Charlie away before the newborns got closer.

"Fine, fine," he huffed. "Why don't you help, and we'll get going."

"Good,"

After five minutes they were driving down the road, and I was alone. That is, for about two minutes until Collin and Brady loped through the bushes. They weren't laughing and playful, but they didn't look like they had a hard time sleeping last night either.

"Hey Cyan," They chorused.

"Hey," I murmured. My eye-lids felt heavy all of a sudden.

"Still all worried?" Collin asked. I hadn't realized either of them knew about my angst. As much as it wasn't the nicest thing to think, to me, Collin and Brady always sort of faded into the background. I never heard them get to involved with the pack's conversations. Maybe it was the age thing, or they just didn't see things the same way. I just figured that I faded into the background to them, too.

"Obviously,"

We all started walking through the woods toward our post. Either boy on my flanks. It felt weird. I'm still wasn't used to wolf hierarchy. I was used to people walking where ever they ended up. On my sides, behind, or in front of me. Collin and Brady phased before me though, so I figured it was all about age—

"Cyan!" I turned around and say Quil running to meet us. A sleeping Claire in his arms.

"Quil? What the hell?! You're so late! Sam's gonna castrate you! Get going!" I yelled.

"I know, I know. But, I had to get Claire and her mom was all upset because it was early and I had to spend ten minutes trying to make her believe that—"

"You know what? You can explain later. Give me Claire and go!"

He nodded quickly and gave Claire to me. Her eyes fluttered but she didn't wake up.

"Thanks, Cy!" he yelled over his shoulder and dashed off.

I sighed. "I swear to God..."

"Oi," Brady called. "what are we supposed to do for all this time?"

"Wait?" I guessed.

Collin rolled his eyes. "That's so—"

"Boring." Brady finished.

"Geez, you're like twins."

"We'll we've known each other since like, the first grade."

"How convenient that you both Change into werewolves, eh?"

"Not really," Brady said. "I phased first, then a couple of days later, after things calmed down, I realized Collin joined in."

"I was so freaked," Collin laughed. "I was like 'Why the hell can I hear you in my head, Brady?' I mean, I knew we were good, but not that good."

"Yeah, then you realized that you were a gigantic wolf and freaked out even more. I swear a heard something like: 'Oh, damn! No wonder Sydney we'll never like me! I'm a freaking wolf!'"

Collin blushed. "Shut up!"

I smirked. It was fun listening to these two. Even if I had no idea what they were talking about. They certainly got my mind off of the fight. Ah crap, never mind...

I leaned against a tree and slid down until I was sitting on the forest floor. I adjusted Claire so she could continue sleeping and neither of my arms would fall asleep. I do admit it is easier that she is asleep, but a disadvantage if I had to move quickly.

Collin and Brady kept talking about Sydney and a few other girls, teasing each other about who liked who and who was 'so gay' if he didn't like this one girl. I watched and listened only half-heartedly. My mind almost blank so I wouldn't think about things I'd much rather not. Seth just better come back home, safe.

Seth's POV (I know, OMG, right?)

"What is it?" Bella asked me.

I ignored her, trotting to the edge of the trees, I pointed to the west and whimpered.

"Is it the others, Seth?" She demanded. "In the clearing?"

I looked at her a yelped softly once, and turned my nose back. My ears flattened back and I whined again.

Bella looked about ready to collapse. Worried? She sorta should be. I can't believe she did that to Jake...

I grumbled slightly, deep in my chest, and wandered over back to my bed of pine-straw.

She started pacing back and forth. Then she pulled off her jacket and threw it into the tent. Back and forth, back and forth.

I heard a few foot steps coming closer. I jumped to my feet, hackles on the back of my neck standing up. I growled a low warning sound, slinking back into the western rim.

"It's just us, Seth," Jake's voice called from a distance.

Oh, sorry. I thought to no one in particular.

Edward walking in first his face blank and smooth. His skin shimmered when the sun hit it. It looked so weird, but I didn't look for long.

I walked over to him. Sam and the others are in fight mode. They're ready. Sam say's Alice thinks the newborns are getting closer. But she's worried because the path is all...blocked out, I guess. Because of us.

Edward nodded. "I suppose we shouldn't be surprised. But the timing is going to be very close. Please have Sam ask Alice to try and nail down the schedule better."

I dipped my head once. Hear that, Sam?

Yeah, he grumbled. Sam wasn't exactly happy with fighting with the Cullens. He didn't think our ancestors would have agreed to this, but he was happy to fight some vampires.

He phased out to talk to Alice.

"Bella," Edward called. "I'm going to take Seth a little ways away and try to straighten out some complications. I won't go far but I won't listen either. I know you don't want an audience, no matter which way you decide to go."

He kissed her lightly then we disapeared into the forest.

After getting a better indication of when they'd show up, Edward headed back to where Jake and Bella were. I followed slower.

I waited. The newborns were getting closer and I waited and watched the guys and Leah get ready. It wasn't really common for me to worry about Leah. The only time I was this worried was when Sam imprinted on Emily and dumped my sister. Now vampires were coming and I still worried.

Leah sighed mentally. Seth don't be worried. I'll be fine.

Jake phased then. His thought's filled with pride that Bella actually kissed him.

Ew, Of all times for Bella to finally agree to kiss Jake. Now? I huffed.

Ugh, Leah blanched. Finally getting some from that girl?

Her name's Bella. I told her, but I knew she wouldn't pay attention.

Jake growled, but ignored her none the less. He was too hyped up.

I don't really care if her name's Jumbie right now. She told me. Jake to hurry up! The physic blood-sucker says the leeches are getting close.

Alice, Again she ignored me.

Jake ran to get to catch up with the pack while Edward took Bella back into the tent. I heard her crying, but I tried to ignore her for Jake.

I howled out of instinct.

Shut up with the noise, Sam ordered.

My body stayed stiff.

I can't believe they made me stay here! I wanted to be there and fight, too. They want me to be safe by making me sit here and watch?! I whimpered to myself.

The newborns have reached the end of the trail—like the blood-sucker said would happen—and they're splitting into two groups. Sam said. More to me, I guessed.

I watched and listened through their eyes and ears. Sam started to take the others around to head off the ambush party.

The pack heard the first group enter the clearing. The fighting had started.

The big one, Emmett sounded like he was having fun. Growling and chuckling low. The sounds of the newborns made me wince.

The second group of newborns headed towards the pack, but they hadn't noticed yet.

"You're supposed to make sure the human didn't escape." one of them said. Their voice wasn't like you'd expect after hearing vampires like the Cullens. Not bell-like at all. More—

Blood-thirsty. Quil finished.

Leah snuck back into the bushes. A male vampire sniffed then just as he was about to turn Leah shot out from her hiding place. She attacked him instantly, and Sam helped her finish him off.

Paul and Jake got another one and the rest of the vampires were getting defensive.

Both sides were trying to get attention off each other. Sam shot out orders left and right. The vampire's started watching each others backs, but the guys had drived them toward the clearing near the Cullens.

Sudden silence filled the air, and a stench of vampire. A close one.

Edward paused inside the tent and then ripped it to shreds. We met gazes and I knew he was thinking the same thing I was.

"Go, Seth!" he whispered urgently.

I wheeled and disappeared into the forest.

I searched for the others, but Leah didn't like the thought of me being near the newborns.

I tried to show them what was going on near Bella and Edward, but I wasn't sure they were listening.

I heard the new vampires meet up with Edward and Bella. I made a decision. I ran right back to help them.

Seth! Leah screamed in her head. She didn't want me to fight at all. She didn't want me to get hurt.

Sorry, Sis. I told her, and kept running.

Embry warned her just in time before a vampire could get to her.

You're not aloud to get hurt either. I said, but I wasn't sure she heard.

I saw a blond and red-headed vampire crouched at Edward. The red-head was fixed on Bella. I took the moment and sprang. Attacking the blond one to the ground.

I ripped and tore at him, the stench driving my instinct to attack and kill. It frightened me a little in the back of my head, and I silently thanked God that Cyan wouldn't see me like this.

The vampire got up from his ragged place on the ground. I hadn't gotten as much damage into him as I had liked, but before I could do anything he flew a kick at my shoulder and I backed off. Starting to circle him, I noticed I was limping. I hoped the break wasn't to bad, and that it'd heal soon.

Edward and the red-headed vampire were circled, too. Though, Edward never let her too close to Bella.

I lunged at my vampire from the side, and I tore something off with a screech. He roared in fury, and I skipped back as he took a swipe at me with one mangled hand.

I remembered everything Jasper had said and I was trying to take action with them.

Edward started talking to the other vamp. Reading her mind and pissing her off. I wasn't listening to closely. I kept my eye on the blond vampire in my line of vision.

He sprang and caught my flank. A yelp caught out of my throat, and I tried not to think about Leah being worried. I backed away again, my shoulder shaking. The pain was annoying and I wished it'd hurry up and go away.

He was closing in on me, pushing me back into the cliff face by Bella. I snapped at him and he was forced back again.

It didn't hurt as much anymore. I didn't have to limp and I started circling again. I got closer to Edward this time, my tail brushing his back.

"No, he won't turn on me," Edward told her. Answering her un-asked question."you provided us with a common enemy. You allied us."

He talked to her more, and I kept my eyes on blondy. His eyes watched his partner, and I struck. Crunching off another small piece. He bellowed and launched a massive backhanded blow that caught me full in my chest. My breath caught, then I couldn't breathe as I sailed ten feet then crashed into the rocky wall. I fell to the ground and collapsed. I low whimper escaped my teeth.

Seth! Leah called. Her voice strangled with worry.

I snapped back into my own danger. The blond vampires mouth opened, widened, his teeth glistening, as he prepared to rip my throat out.

I wasn't sure what had happened, but suddenly, Edward had twisted backward amd caught an unsuspecting blond vampire by the arm. He planted a foot against the vampire's back and heaved.

The clearing was filled with it's piercing cry of agony as his arm tore off.

He was still fighting though. Edward turned to the other vampire and I was circling this vamp again. He was now retreating. He backed away from my advance, face rigid with pain. He raised his arm defensively.

I rushed him, and the vampire was clearly off-balance. I sprang and sank my teeth into his horrid shoulder and tore, jumping back again. It screamed again, it had lost another arm.

I shook my head, tossing the arm into the woods. I actually snickered at it's pain.

It's scream of a tortured plea. "Victoria!"

The red-head didn't acknowledge him at all. Her eyes didn't once flicker toward her partner.

I launched full force. The force caused us both to fly into the trees. I shredded and shredded. I kept on until I was sure it was destroyed.

Edward had followed into the forest after he finished with Victoria.

"We're going to carry the pieces to be burned." He muttered. I nodded and grabbed a large chunk and followed him to the growing pile of vampire pieces.

Edward pulled a lighter from his pocket, he flipped it open and held the flame to it. It caught and spread across the pyre.

"Get every piece," he said.

Together we carried the pieces to the fire. When we were done the raging fire was sending a pillar of chocking purple toward the sky. It smelt like a burning incense. A horrible, burning sensation went through my nose and I whimpered quietly.

But then I snickered again, deep in my chest.

I told the guys I could handle that,

A smile flicked on Edwards face. He stretched out his arm, his hand curled into a fist. I grinned, teeth stretching over, and bumped my nose against Edward's hand.

"Nice teamwork," he murmured.

I coughed a laugh.

Bella and Edward had started talking but I wasn't trying to listen. I kept my eyes on the flames.

I watched through the packs mind. Leah was fighting a couple of vampires at the same time. Her courage was getting the best of her. I was getting worried. If a vampire tried to attack her while she was busy...

"What's she doing?" Edward asked.

I whined uneasily.

Leah, look out! A few other thoughts screamed besides mine. Including Sam's deep, worried bellow.

Leah snapped out of it and turned to see a vamp already in mid-air, aimed right at her. Her eyes shut almost as if she knew it'd hit her with no doubt. Worry filled my mind and I prayed she would be okay.

But nothing happened. Nothing happened because Jacob had jumped in the vampire's way. Protecting my sister. I saw the vampire's arms wrap around Jacob and it's teeth were bared, ready to bite.

Jasper warned us to not let this happen, and Jake just let it happen for Leah.

Jake!

Edward gasped, "No! Don't—!"

Then the worst news yet...

Collin and Brady phased in a matter of seconds. The packs mind was quiet for a moment as they heard a huge amount of worry.

Even Jake, lying in pain, seemed to pause to hear it.

Cyan got captured!

A spasm rocked through my body, and a howl, blistered with agony.

Edward fell to his knees, gripping the sides of his head.

Bella was frantic and confused. Edward almost explained, but he couldn't exactly.

"Seth!" He shouted.

I was crouched, still tensed, about to launch into the forest after Cyan.

"No!" Edward ordered. "You go straight home. Now. As fast as you can."

Everything in my body told me no. That I had to find Cyan. Now.

I whimpered and shook my head side to side.

"Seth. Trust me."

I stared into his eyes. But I couldn't believe it.

I heard Alice tell Sam that a lot of other vampires were coming. Not like the ones from before.

She told him that they needed to get Jacob home, and stay there. These vampires were to dangerous.

Sam paused. He didn't know what to do.

Let's get Jake home, Quil said.

Cyan! I whined again.

I could tell Sam understood my agony.

Seth, lets get Jake home. Then when we're sure he can be left alone, we'll go after Cyan.

I just couldn't...

Yes! he ordered. You are. Please Seth. We'll spit up when we get there. Some will go with you for Cyan. Let's just get Jacob home, now.

I just nodded. The inability to refuse Sam blocked any refuge. I ran as fast I could to Billy Black's house.

Some of the other's phased, to carry Jacob off. The others ran to Billy's too.

Off all people to get captured... My Cyan.

Quil immediately began thinking the worst, too.

Claire! he almost began howling, but Collin stopped him.

Clarie's okay. Quil relaxed. We took her to Sue's a little while before the vampire's showed.

He stared showing exactly what had happened.

Cyan was sleeping, Claire in her arms, also asleep. Brady noticed the smell of vampire before Collin.

"Dude! Vampire! Take Claire to Sue's. I'll wake Cy."

Collin nodded once, then picked Claire out of Cyan's arms and ran as fast as he could toward Sue's.

Brady started shaking Cyan's shoulder.

"Cyan! Come on, wake up! Vampire. You hear me? Vampire!"

She didn't wake up instantly. Her eyes fluttered open and she almost went right back to sleep.

"No! Cy, really! Vampire."

After shaking her for a minute she finally woke up.

"Claire?" She asked worriedly.

"Sue's." he told her quickly.

She nodded and stood up.

Collin was back.

"Why are vampires here?" he asked.

"Like I know."

None of them were really sure what to do. They waited as two vampires moved into the little clearing around them.

They were newborns with blood-red eyes.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here." it hissed.

"Wolf cubs."

"Shall we eat them?"

"They won't taste to good."

Collin growled. He hadn't had enough control to phase on command, and the vampire stench was overwhelming.

He wanted to phase but he was afraid. He didn't want to die.

Brady was more willing to phase, but he didn't get the chance. One of the vampires struck. Brady almost dodged, but it caught the side of his chest and he flew against a tree.

"Brady!" Cyan yelled. You could tell she was scared, too.

The same vampire that had attacked Brady turned on Collin. Collin had his gaze on the second male vampire, and was oblivious. He attacked. Collin noticed a moment before and tried to swing. He wasn't strong enough and it barely met the vamp. He was struck back to hard you heard the breath whoosh out of his lungs.

The second vampire, the one who had stayed back and watched, finally made his move. On Cyan.

He reached at her unprotected back. He grabbed her roughly and pulled her against him.

She wriggled and struggled the best she could. Panic rose in her eyes.

Collin and Brady couldn't do anything. The first vampire kept them down.

"You're coming with us," he hissed in Cyan's ear.

Her eyes widened. And tried to swipe at him, but he had his arms wrapped tightly around her waist.

In a matter of seconds, Cyan and the vampire were gone.

The first vampire looked down at the battered Collin and Brady. He grinned then ran off to catch up with the other.

I had to fight back to keep from growling, whining, and howling at the sight.

My Cyan had been captured, and who knows what they were doing with her now.

I knew she wasn't dead. Not yet. I would feel it if she was. But she wasn't safe either.

Seth, Collin's soft voice was the only one left. The other's had all phased.

There inside. You going in?

I can't, I chocked out.

No matter how hard I could try, right now I couldn't phase back.

I had to get to My Cyan. My imprint.

AN: Any ideas for what the vampire will do to Cyan? o.e Maybe I'll make him pervy? XD Poor Cy...

Poor Seth, too. I wanted to hug him...

Anyway....PLEASE REVIEW!
