AN: I know, I know. FINALLY!
Stupid writer's block. .

Thank you for all of you who are still willing to read my story! I'll try and update as soon as possible!!

Reviews are loved!


Paul and I figured it would be easier to train at night. Not because it was dark. or anything. We could see perfectly well in pitch black. But, we trained at night because: 1 The Pack didn't run patrolat night anymore, which helped with concentration. 2 It's more complicated at night, even if we can see.

You can't just attack head on without a plan, Cyan! Paul criticised.

I growled. If I have a plan you'll see it in my head!

A vampire won't be able to see your plan, so if you get a good attack it won't matter. Use your instincts when you fight a vamp, the plan will come naturally.

Instincts. I fought against mine when I got captured. Maybe I should have just let go, I did even up biting Cheshire's arm clean off.

Right, Paul agreed. Just use instincts.

I nodded and took my stance.

Now, he warned. Don't hold back, just fight. I'll heal from whatever damage you may cause.

The big gray wolf in front of me stood and stiffened.

Okay.

I thought about how easy it would be, to just let my instincts to take over. I didn't think.

For an instant, I couldn't feel, couldn't see, couldn't hear anything. Then my instincts took over.

Of course, those instincts weren't intended on killing a member of the pack. But it felt as though I was stating my rank within.

I reared back and pounced. Paul jumped soon after, and knocked me aside easily. I snarled and dashed back. He growled and ran after me. I bolted through endless trees in the forest, Paul at my heels the whole time.

I was about to go back to thclearing when a lead weight barreled into my side and sent me flying. I caught a flash of silver fur, then found myself alone again with only Paul's scent for company, and a low snicker in my head. Getting to my feet, I took a few wary steps forward. Nothing happened.

I cocked my head, sniffing. Still nothing. I took three more steps and got torpedoed again, this time crashing sideways into a bush.

I waited, got my breath back, then lept to my feet and started to run. Behind me, Paul burst into the clearing and yipped on finding I had vanished.

I ran faster. Bushes crashed somewhere behind me. Rounding a corner, I dove headfirst into a patch of underbrush and dropped to the ground. A blur of silver raced by. I sprang to my feet and ran after him.

I chased Paul for about a half mile. He veered off the path at one point and tried to lose me in the thick brush. The trick gave him a twenty foot advantage, but no more.

Paul seemed to know the area pretty well. But, seeing as how the vines around the moss had just gotten much more dense I figured he'd try and be more careful. Wrong.

Now, when a wolf the size of a horse trips, he falls. Hard.

The echo through out the woods reverberated as Paul's ginormous body crashed. Effectively scaring the crap out of every sleeping bird in the area and scent a family of pissed off squirrels elsewhere. Silence.

Then a small voice, Ow... Came from Paul.

I paused in my tracts. Paul, upside down, tail end up, head and chest caught under the patches on vines, back against a tree.

Oh my God. I couldn't help it, I burst into laughter. It had to be the funniest thing I had ever seen.

Oh ha-ha. Paul muttered. Shut up, and come help me!

I couldn't do anything at the moment, I was laughing to hard.

I silent shimmer broke through the after hours.

What the hell was the loud crash?! Leah demanded.

I played through the scene again in my head, which just sent me into a whole new fit of giggles.

Leah took a minute to finally get it, then cracked-up herself.

Paul growled. It's not that damn funny, now help me.

The high and mighty Paul: taken down by a brier patch. Leah jeered.

Cyan, if you don't help me out I'm not going to train you anymore. Paul threatened.

I sighed mentally. Alright, alright.

I trooped over toward Paul and stared at the tangled mess for a minute.

This is gonna be hard.

I don't care! Get me out!

I growled a warning and bent down to snatch a loose one from his chest. It didn't help much.

Geez, I'm about to Phase and come back with aposable thumbs so I can get you out.

Leah snorted and started running to meet us.

Don't take the easy path, this'll be good practice in case you get tangled. she said.

She was probably right, but I sorta doubted I'd be stupid enough to get this tangled.

Paul glared at me.

Leah entered the brush just then. We worked together to snap and remove the vines with our teeth. Paul would snarl and nip if we even grazed his face with them.

There, Leah announced as we finished and stepped back. Paul rolled and jumped to his feet, shaking out some of the smaller pieces still in his fur.

Leah sat back on her haunches.

So, She stared. why are you two out here so late anyway?

I stiffened. I wanted to keep this a secret from Seth,

Keep what a secret? If you're cheating on my brother I swear

I yelped and shot back in shock. What!? No! I wouldn't cheat on anyone, let alone my imprint!

Paul snorted. Like I'd be her little affair.

Then what's there to hide?

I justI just wanted to train to become stronger in case anymore vamps come back. I don't want to be weak like I was last time, where Seth had to come save me. I don't wanna be a damsel in distress.

She hesitated, and then said, Okay, I get that. But, of all people, Paul?

I chuckled. We'll I figured my plan wouldn't work if I asked Seth, I didn't think he'd agree. And I'm not so close to Jared, and Embry's a little awkward. Jake's out of commission. Collin and Brady can't help. Quil'sbeen to busy withClaire, and Sam with...Emily.

Leah winced but brushed it off. So, you chose Paul. Excuse me, but you never once thought to ask me?

I paused, confused. I hadn't thought of Leah, just because I figured she wouldn't be up to it.

She snorted. Well I may have if you asked nicely.

I wasn't sure what to say to that. Uh, sorry. I'll think of you next time, I guess.

Next time? Why don't Paul and I both train you. Then you'd be able to kick bloodsucker ass all you want.

No way. Paul refused. I'm not working with you.

I don't care to work with you either Paul, so how about this. We switch. You trained with her today, I'll train with her tomorrow. So on like that until we're sure she can fight. Then we don't have to see each other and Cyan learned how to defend herself.

He pretended to think it over. Fine, whatever.

Thanks, Paul. I told him.

He ignored me. We're done for today. I'm going home. See ya.

Bye. Leah and I chorused as he ran off toward the west.

I'm going back to bed, Paul woke me up before. Leah told me.

I nodded. I'll head back to Billy's. Night.

Night.

We parted and headed off to get some needed sleep.

I Phased and got my clothes on, realizing that I needed a new set again. Sigh...

When I got back in the house I was welcomed with the light snores of Jake and Billy.

I rubbed my eyes. Was it just me, or did that couch just look great for sleeping in all of a sudden?

I collapsed on the old sofa, my eyes drooped and I feel into a deep sleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.


AN: Thank you for reading! I won't include the many boring training sessions in the next chapters, but I will include the endings of Eclipse and a few extra added scene's of my own.

I need to add more Seth/Cyan scenes right? I feel like I do... 'Cause Jared/Kim Sam/Emily Quil/Claire are all mushy and I fell like Seth/Cyan are just....blah.

So, added with that, more fighting will take place, and then an epilogue that I already have planned out! O.O Let's just say it has to do with Embry and Cyan. That's all I'm gonna say! Any guesses to what that's gonna be about?

I'm not one hundred percent sure if I'll do a sequel, which would take place during Breaking Dawn. Cause I think this took forever, and it 'started' during the last-ish part on Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn is sooo much bigger. What do you guys think?

Please Review~! ^^
