I felt my eyes start to flutter open as I tried to take in my surroundings but the only thing I could focus on was... I a vampire?' Shaking I tried to take in a breath and... I could breath air and my heart… it was still beating what the hell happened? "Your awake" a voice asked me, and I bolted up ignoring my spinning head looking towards the voice it was coming from a young vampire who was looking at me with curious red eyes.

"Who are you" I asked surprised by my leveled voice, not a hit of fear in my words. I pressed my back to the wall something about this vampire was familiar, but I couldn't quite place it but at least he wasn't the red headed. He looked at me giving me a look… but it was gone before I could place it "Riley and you?" he asked as me just standing still not moving.

"Talia" I replied cautiously "So umm..." I asked a little uncertain, curiosity getting the best of me "You're not a vampire" he told me sensing what I was about to ask, "She bite you, but I managed to get the venom out and convinced her not to change you" what?

"Why did you do that?" I asked confused not knowing if I should be grateful or scared or mostly both. He didn't answer me he just cocked his head to the side continuing to study me, "Are you cold" he asked me when he saw me shivering but it wasn't from the cold.

I didn't even get the chance to reply when there was a loud bang from behind the room's door Riley just sighed heavily before he moved toward the door "I'll be back don't go anywhere" he told me before stepping out the door.

I bite my tongue to stop myself from responding sarcastically it wouldn't do to anger the blood drinker "Don't eventry to scream… nobody can hear you" he told me threateningly before slamming the door shut locking me in the room.

I waited silently as the time ticked by, I had already tried to find an escape route but there was no windows and the door was sealed shut. I was scared I didn't know what was going to happen to me I wasn't a vampire but that didn't mean they couldn't change their minds or worst make me a snack.

I breathed in deeply stopping the tears from running down my face I wouldn't cry, I wouldn't give them the satisfaction of seeing me break. I jumped when I hear loud footsteps and the door was opened and in came Riley.

He didn't say a word as he grabbed my arm tightly and dragged me from the room "What's going on?!" I demanded trying to breakout of his vise grip but to no avail, "We're leaving for battle" her cold voice spoke from behind me and I froze.

Edward

The battle between the newborns still raged on as I stood face to face with Riley, trying to convince him that Victoria was just using him.

"Don't listen to him Riley" Victoria simpered "You know I love you" she cooed to him, drawing his attention towards her when I tried to talk him out of hurting Bella. "But I don't love you" Riley thought bitterly, looking at her with disgust and distrust "Not anymore" he thought as images of Talia flashed through his mind.

I was baffled… Riley had developed feeling for Talia while he watched over her when she was being held by Victoria. "If you love her you'll let her go" I reasoned "Wedon't want her to get hurt" I pleaded with him and making his hand twitched, Victoria looked between us with an angry confused expression.

"Riley what's he talking about?!" she demanded angrily as her eyes narrowed into slits, Riley just continued to stare between us before a single thought entered his mind "I will protect her, no matter what the cost" he growled before he tried to leap towards us only for Seth to jump forward, grabbing Riley by his arm and dragging him off.

Talia

I ran as fast as my legs could move all the trees looked the same and it was making me dizzy. That's when I heard it... something had begun to chase after me, panicking I picked up speed. "Please don't be one of the newborns" I thought desperately as I ran along the trees before making a sharp left trying to lose whatever it was that was running after me.

Riley had left me somewhere in a clearing saying I'd be save from the battle that was happening, but he had threatened that if I left the clearing the newborns would find and kill me. But I didn't care I had my chance to escape and I was taking it, straining my ears I tried to hear the sounds of a battle being fought after all they had to be here somewhere.

The pack… Paul. I kept running as whatever chased me fell back before it let out a…. bark?

Wait, a bark? I thought before turning to look over my shoulder as my foot tripped over a rock causing me to yelp as I fell landing on to my wrist. I bite my lip to stop from yelling in pain, but I did whimper only for a whining sound to turn my attention away from my swollen wrist.

I looked up only to meet the eyes of a concerned wolf of who I hadn't seen before the wolf moved forward trying to nudge itself underneath my arm. I was confused until I realized what it was trying to say, slugging my non-injured arm around its neck as I leaned onto the wolfs side before it slowly lead us out of the woods.

I walked with the wolf as it leads, me onto a field before looking up to meet the wide-eyed looks of the Cullen's I winced in pain as my wrist started hurting, seeing my discomfort Carlisle snapped out of his shock and approached me.

"I think I sprained my wrist" I said as he gently looked over my wrist Carlisle nodded in agreement before saying he would tend to it after it was all over. I looked around the field there were no newborns to be seen just fires burning it all looked over to me, what did he mean by that?

I didn't get a chance to ask before Edward came through the field with his arm wrapped around Bella's shoulder "Glad to see you safe, Talia" Edward said, I nodded before my eyes caught onto something it was the pack.
