I'm writing what happened before Kayla rescued Alex first, and then what happened afterwords. This is Alex's POV on the whole thing from last chapter after the memory.

"Cole is everything ready?" I called out, the wolves around me were sparring with each other until the battle started. The war started yesterday and we fended them off enough to be able to get some rest.

'Yes, but Alex, I suggest you become a wolf now.' Cole's voice said inside my head.

I nodded absently and became my wolf self, it was almost too easy to turn into a wolf. It was more of a reflex, something you just did and didn't have to think about.

I heard many shouts coming from the dark woods, 'It's coming.' I stated matter-of-fact.

That was when the snarls started around me, I thought it was interesting. But I never realized that the loudest snarl was coming from me.

"Attack!" a gravely voice shouted from the woods.

'Attack!' I repeated, the wolves bounded forward and started to pounce onto the oncoming vampires.

I hesitated; I might have been training for the past month, but I was still wary of my surroundings.

A blond and a black-haired vampire came charging towards me, I ripped off two of their arms as they came running.

They started to screech in pain, but it was odd how they were screeching. It had the pain, but it seemed to be signaling a powerful presence. I silenced them by severing their heads from their bodies. After the first wave of Vampires, a lone one came out. And in his stone cold grasp was a small girl.

It didn't take me long to identify the little girl, her blond hair and her blue eyes full of fear. 'Sammy!' I shouted.

The vampire was a blur when he found me, he was the same vampire that killed both of my parents.

Two vampires must have snuck up behind me, because soon I was on the ground and bleeding. The blood was gushing out, I was starting to feel weak.

"Become human, wolf. Or the end comes faster." He hissed.

I glared up at him, but I complied, my human form was as battered and bloody as my wolf form.

"Where is your sister, Alex?" The vampire laughed cruelly, "We're dying to meet her."

I snarled and tried to put as much venom into my voice as possible, "She's...not...h-here." I struggled, my voice becoming more and more weak.

"Well Then! She'll be here soon." He placed Sammy on the ground and stepped to the side, " If she doesn't come soon, I'll kill the girl." He threatened.

I couldn't help but ask myself, what is stopping him from killing Sammy. But it was getting too much, I was getting weaker and weaker. I knew I was going to die, I'm so sorry Kayla. I glared up at the leader vampire one last time and tried to give Sammy some encouragement.

"Sammy..." But that was all I could get out before I slipped into unconsciousness.

I never have faced death before today, I never thought I'd ever have to when I first joined the tribe. I seemed to be going back in forth of being awake and alive to dying.

I caught glimpses of someone destroying vampires with just a flick of their wrist. I decided to open my eyes for a moment.

Kayla...

She was here at last, and she was helping the other wolves kill off the vampires. She would lead when I die. I was grateful for knowing her...

There was something bright penitrating my darkness, I groaned and rolled over. I thought I was dead, but something seems off.

I opened my eyes to see Kayla, Danny, Cole, and Sharon.

"You saved me." I said to Kayla, but she seemed to be so happy that she was crying.

I sat up in my big plush bed without much effort.

"The extent of your injuries were very little, but they just weren't treated right away." Cole whispered.

"That's great, and I was all ready to hand the gauntlet off to Kayla." I teased.

"Hey, I didn't come back to have you die on me." Kayla punched my arm.

But all through this banter, Danny stayed deathly quiet.

"Danny, are you okay?" I looked at him worriedly.

He nodded and smiled a little, but the smile vanished when he began to speak, " Was worried that you wouldn't wake up, I was hanging on the edge of sanity when you were brought in here."

I scrutinized him, "Well, I thought that I was going to die, but I didn't. So, no need to worry." I assured him. I was all ready to give him a reassuring hug when the smell hit me like a bull-dozer.

"Yeah, I haven't bathed in about two days." He admitted sheepishly.

"Well, if you even want to consider a hug or anything from me. You go and take a shower." I shooed him away. He smiled and walked out of the room.

"Cole, Sharon. I need to talk to Kayla." I said.

They nodded and walked out.

I got up and out of bed and put on a soft robe. "So, how's Sammy." I asked as I turned back to her.

"She's as okay as she'll ever be. I think she will be scarred for life." She came to stand beside me when I walked to the window.

"I give you permission."

"Huh, what?" Kayla was confused.

"Christian can come inside the boundary." I explained further. But unexpectedly, Kayla gave me a big hug.

"Oh Thank you Alex." She squealed.

I looked at her, dumbfounded. "Did you just squeal like a little girl?"

"..."

"Forget it, go tell him while I get dressed." I smiled and pushed her out the door.

I walked to the closet and picked a nice lime green dress out of the little closet. I brushed out my hair and applied some black eyeliner. I put on some shoes and walked out to the clearing. Kayla was waiting there just watching little wolf pups playing with each other.

"I never thought in a million years that you would be wearing a dress."

She turned around and laughed, "Me either." She stopped, "Alex can I tell you something?"

I smiled, "Sure Kayla, anything."

I smelled Christian coming and we both turned, he was smiling widely.

"Never mind, I'll tell you later." Kayla stammered.

"Hey guys, how are you doing?" Christian directed the question at me.

"I'm fine, actually I feel great."

"That's good, you gave us quite a scare." He frowned.

"Yeah, well at least I didn't die." I tried to laugh, but my voice broke. I was very close to dying.

"Well, as long as Mr. Vamp lives here we don't have to worry about another attack." Kayla laughed nervously.

I knew that kind of laugh for as long as I thought boys were hot. Oh My God! Kayla likes Christian, a lot!

"Christian, not to be rude, but I need to talk to Kayla for a moment." I said, smiling.

He nodded and guestured with a pale hand that I should proceed.

I dragged Kayla far enough that he couldn't hear us.

"What's up?"

I rolled my eyes, "You like Christian." I stated.

Ciffy, I will let Kirin have Kayla justify herself. lol review.
