Hey guys, sorry it's been a while but school starts for me on Monday and I have been scrambling to get ready. I will be a freaking eighth grader in five days :'( Things might really slow down since I'm taking a heavy course load this year. Anyway here is the next chapter. Read and Review please :D

I do not own any of the characters you recognize.

Katie

When I woke up the next morning, I discovered I had the house to myself. This brought a wave of confusion with it. I hadn't been alone in awhile and I had no idea what to do with myself, considering this wasn't even my house. I had fumbled around the living room for a while, feeling agitated. Usually someone was here to keep me company and now they all just disappear. It was frustrating not knowing where they were, especially Seth.

I decided my best bet was to get some breakfast to help me think clearer. I thoroughly searched the fridge and small pantry before settling on some Coco Puffs. I hated the idea of chocolate for breakfast, but I couldn't really cook and it was the only thing I could find. I shoveled the chocolaty cereal into my mouth and chewed, trying to taste as little as possible.

When I had finished my second bowl of cereal, I decided to take a shower and get ready. The water helped to relax me as yesterday's events reeled threw my head. I had brushed my teeth quickly and then threw my favorite Levi's and a brown tank.

I sat on my bed twiddling my thumbs for a while, then decided I should take some time to clean my area. I made my bed and picked up all my dirty clothes. I found a vacuum in a closet upstairs and vacuumed the room carefully. I also sprayed some air freshener around. I did my best in the bathroom, not knowing where any cleaning products were stored. I dumped the towels with my other laundry and rinsed the tub. I also scrubbed the toilet and wipe the counter.

Feeling satisfied, I decided to poke around the rest of the house. I eventually found myself in Sam and Emily's room. I knew it was wrong after all they had done for me but being nosey was an urge I couldn't resist. I rummaged threw Emily's bedside table only to find a few hair ties, a bottle of pain killer, and a contact case. Sam's was a little more interesting.

I knew Sam had been in love with Leah before Emily. He probably would have married her instead of loving Emily, but he just couldn't stay away. I had never imagined that Sam would still have feeling for Leah, considering he imprinted. Underneath all the random junk in his drawer was a photo of Emily and him. Sam was kissing her cheek and she was smiling widely.

The Leah in the photo was much different than the Leah now. This one was happy. You could see it in her eyes. I had noticed how Leah glanced at Sam. She still loved him, but she knew that they couldn't be together. The Sam also seemed different, but the difference wasn't as dramatic as Leah's.



Feeling guilty I slipped the photograph back into the drawer and turned to exit. Instantly my body was pierced with fear and adrenaline clouded my veins. Standing in front of me was a tall godlike creature. Its irises were a deep blood red and its skin was a pale ivory. It instantly registered as a vampire. I let out a scream. The one time a vampire shows up, my whole house of werewolf friends were gone.

"Hello Katie." The creature said in a dark voice. Chills instantly caused me to shiver. His cool breath smelt so delicious. I began drifting towards him, in a trance. "I killed your aunt. I figured I would put you out of your misery as well." This was the vampire that had taken Aunt Stacy's life. I instantly backed away.

"Seth!" I called in alarm. Where was he? I needed him to protect me. I could never fight off this creature, if he was as strong as the legends predicted. The vampire began slowly pacing forward. I called Seth's name again. Tears began spilling out of my eyes. I was shaking now. I had so much to live for. I wasn't ready to die.

I heard the front door open and slam shut. "Katie!" Seth's alarmed voice called. I knew he would find me even if I didn't answer. Werewolves had a great sense of smell. I looked up into the vampire's eyes, hoping to find a sense of alarm. A smile played at his lips. Seth finally entered the room and stood at the door way.

Realizing this, vampire instantly lunged for my throat. Pain ripped through my whole body, as the creature's teeth pierced my tender skin. I closed my eyes and screamed. I hear Seth leap, instantly phasing, and pull the vampire off of me. I flinched as he tore it to pieces and somehow disposed of it.

Seth's strong arms lifted me off the ground moments later and held me against his bare chest. "Katie? Katie?" he called. I tried to nod my head as I released a groan. "Ohmigod! He bit you! The Cullen's. We have to get you to the Cullens," he stated. I could hear the tears in his voice.

He ran out of the house and into the trees. I could feel the leaves and needles scraped my feet, but they were nothing compared to the fiery pain, burning in my body. I felt a few tears escape my eyes. I was far from tough and I couldn't handle this. I knew how much it would hurt Seth so I did my best to suppress my discomfort.

Eventually I felt Seth enter a house. It was cold and empty feeling. I moaned. What was happening to me? Seth laid me down on a soft leather couch and I managed to let my eyes flutter open. My energy was draining fast and pain was ripping through every inch of me.

"Seth, what's-what's going on?" I muttered, breathlessly. It was like a fire was burning in my heart. It took all my power to keep from screaming. My eyes fluttered shut and I bit down hard on my tongue. I moaned as Seth's strong warm hands lifted my torso up.

"It's okay. Carlise is going to help you. It's okay." He soothed, kissing my forehead and then my lips. I somehow found the strength to wrap my arms around his neck. Tears were streaming down my cheeks now.



I opened my eyes, using the last of my strength. If I was going to die, I wanted to die looking at Seth. Seth was my angel, my hero, my soul mate, my life. I wasn't ready to leave him. "Seth," I muttered, "I love you."

"I love you too," he said kissing me one last time before everything went black.
