AN: People, for those of you that read the last chapter, please go back and read it again. that was a piece of starless, I got confused and posted the wrong chapter.... apologies. Anyways, now the craptastic chapter is up.
I was just rising from sleep when I felt something pull me back under. I struggled against it, but whatever it was seemed to be stronger.
Where are you? It asked.
I didn't answer. Partly because I didn't know how, partly because I was freaking out. I almost made it away!
You shouldn't have left. The voice purred, pulling me in deeper. You know where you belong.
"No I don't!" I shrieked, drawing me out of sleep and into someone's embrace. I knew instantly who it wasm judging by the body temperature, so I nuzzled.
"What's wrong?" he asked, rubbing my shoulders.
"N-nightmare..." I explained, lying. That felt to real to be considered a dream. It still it felt like something was wrapped around my conciousness, trying to pull me back. As I thought about it, I clung to Embry tightly. I might've caused him pain, but I wasn't paying attention. I couldn't get pulled back...some part of me knew that.

Roman:
I was closing in on her trail. Within only a few moments I would have her body back in my arms. Certainly she would thank me.
And then I felt it, the twang inside me that told me someone was trying to contact me.
Roman, I've contacted the girl.
"And?" I asked. I hated her ability sometimes because it was only one way. Still, hearing her voice, no matter the distance, was always a relief.
There's...one other thing. It's Mai...she...escaped. More worry, laced with fear. I felt a similar feeling creeping into my chest. She hadn't been purged like Twilight. Her memories of the torture were open for all to see. For her to use as fuel to fight us with. But even worse. Roman, we must act alone. His plan has fallen apart. She was right. We could no longer follow his plan. If we did then our cover would be blown to the entire vampire world. Including the Golden-eyed ones. Take her out Roman. Now. - It had been about two hours since I woke up. Alice had proceeded on re-dolling me, much to my displeasure, and then pushed me out to be alone with Embry. I supposed that I could take the constant make-overs if it meant being with him. So we sat on the couch, a prop, he had explained, and watched TV for awhile. I could sort of tell he wanted to do more, so I turned and asked him if he had anything he wanted to actually do. "Do you think we could go for a walk?" he asked, turning to me, his eyes beaming slightly. I found myself thinking that even if I didn't want to go, I wouldn't be able to deny that look. So childishly innocent, yet intense like an adults. I was convinced that I was dealing with some sort of angel from my personal heaven. So I agreed without a second thought to walk with them. As I was walking out of the house though, I caught sight of Nessie and Jake watching us. Dammit.... I really wanted to know what they were thinking. What I wouldn't give to be Edward. Or some type of relative to him that could use his powers. Embry led me into the woods a ways and then looked at me. "Stay here a minute so I can phase." I understood vaguely, knowing that for some reason, a shifter ended up naked. I really didn't want to see that, even though he was really well toned. Hell as far as I knew I was only eight years old! Embry returned as a pondered that idea and he pounced playfully, resting his paws on my shoulders. "Embry!" I gasped, giggling. He licked my cheek lightly and then stood, waiting for something. "Umm...I'm no Edward" I told him, smiling. Embry merely gestured to his back and waited. I figured out and got on, giggling. I remembered when I first did this...then remembered that was only two days ago. Headrush. Embry began running, his legs putting an insane amount of distance between the house and us. And I realized. I was at peace...even if I was being hunted by a violent vampire. - [Okay guys, only a few more chapters until it's all done and over with. Starless will probably be a bit longer, but not by much. Both of these two were kind of intros into the big story, which will involve her. Also, the big mysteries are about to be solved. But there's also a little problem.... I can't post the last chapter until I post starless's last chapter. damn!]
