Joey's Point of View

As I was running back to my house, I felt cold arms attach to my waist. Before I could scream out, a hand was placed over my mouth.

"Joey, it me Trent relax it's ok." He told me, as he released my mouth. His hand reached down to hold mine.

"No" I replied looking at him. "Trent died a little over a year ago."

"Joey, it's really me. I didn't completely die that night; I just changed a bit. Look at me Joe, it's really me." He told her, as he sat down on a log in the forest.

"Trent" Joey said, shaking in disbelief.

"How? Why did you wait so long to come find me?"

"Joey, I am sorry about that, it wasn't my fault. I needed some time to learn how to control myself. I didn't want to risk hurting you. I never could hurt you." He told me.

Looking into his eye's I could tell that he meant every word that he said to me. I couldn't believe that this was happening to me. Trent was back; I could have him in my life again. It the same moment I felt so happy about it, Paul's face popped into my mind. Trent was a vampire, Paul's sworn enemy. It was not safe for him to be around here. Paul and the others would surely kill him, if they knew about it. Who were my allegiances with?

"Trent, we have to get out of here, it's not safe for you here!" I told him in a hurried voice. As I foolishly tried to pull him to his feet; but I couldn't budge him an inch.

"Joey, calm down it's ok. Nobody can hurt me now!" He says lifting himself off the ground.

"That's the problem, you don't understand the danger that you are in for just being around here." I told him as I begged him to move.

"Joey, I came back for you. We belong together; I will leave as long as you come with me. We have all eternity; I love you Joey. I want to make you mine forever. Like it was meant to be, you're my sole mate."

'Oh my God!' I thought to myself. This can't be happening to me again. My prayers were answered Trent was in my life again. Trent was now a vampire; I know that I should be scared. I remember the story's that Sam and the others told me about their kind. Would Trent hurt me, if I went with him? I knew in my heart that he wouldn't do anything that I didn't want him too. Finally it dawned on me, he said "eternity." He wanted to change me, to be like him.

I completely froze, not knowing what to think. Part of me wanted to spend my life with Trent. The other part of me saw a future with Paul.

"What's wrong Joey, you look like you are a million miles away?" As he placed his cold lips on my cheeks; lightly kissing me.

I pulled away from his cold touch. The kiss was different from the way I felt when Paul kissed me. I couldn't explain it; I didn't even know how to begin to explain it. It almost felt completely right, yet completely wrong at the same time. I was so confused; I don't know what I am going to do?

When I finally found the courage to look back into his eyes, I saw that his eyes were very black.

"How did your eyes turn black? They were brown a few minutes ago, weren't they? I asked him.

"I am very thirsty, now! I spent a great deal of time looking for you today. I didn't hunt for the last week. You smell so good right now, it's burning my throat." He looked at me, and moved a few steps away from me. "I thought that I could do this, but I need to leave for your safety now, I will be back for you Joey"

I watched him run with amazing speed, leaving me in the woods alone in the darkness.

Embry Point Of View

As soon as Lily showed up, she started kissing me like crazy. I loved her reaction of having her best friend come around again. The best part of her sweet kisses was the fact she knew what they did to me.

"Lily, we need to stop now or I won't be able too." I told her, as I began pulling apart from her.

"I don't want to stop Embry, I love the way your lips feel on mine." She told me, looking into my eyes.

"I know, I feel the same way. I just don't think that are first time should be in the front room of my alpha house."

She starts to laugh at my statement.

"Fine, we can stop for now. Besides my parents are going back to my old neighborhood this weekend. We can be alone in the house tonight." She told me, as her eye's looked at me almost seductively.

"This girl is going to be the death of me." I muttered. I was picturing what was going to happen tonight. I could feel myself getting aroused, at the images running through my head. Why couldn't it be dark out already?

Within the next ten minutes Joey ran out of the house again. Lily I could feel was getting worried about her. She wanted to walk over to her house and see if she needed someone to talk to. As I got up, ready to walk with her; I smelled a vampire.

Quickly as possible, I grabbed Lily hand, and pulled her back into the house. Yelling for guys to get outside, I told Lily that I smelled a vampire down the road. She screamed saying it was the direction Joey went in.

Paul, Sam, Jake, and I flew out of the house and phased. I could hear the worry in Paul's thoughts. His imprint was out there alone and unprotected. He could smell her in the woods.

Within a few more seconds, we saw her sitting under a tree. We all could smell the leach on her. It scared us all to death, but somehow she was unharmed.

Paul's Point Of View

I felt so complete; my life was perfect. Joey was coming around, and it was only a matter of time before she gave in to the imprint. When she finally kissed me, I new that she felt it too.

I understood why she left the house. I knew why she ran out of the room. She was scared of her feeling. I wanted to give her a few minutes to gather her thoughts, before I sat down and talked to her again. I was just on my way to find her, when I heard Embry yell vampire.

My first thoughts were of Joey. She was outside alone, and a vampire was close. I ran out of the house. The sent of the vampire was beyond annoyingly strong. The sent of Joey was also mixed with it. I quickly phased, not caring about my clothes. I just needed to get to her, and fast.

I didn't hear her voice, and it worried me. I hoped that she was going to be alive when I got there. That vampire was going die when I got done with him.

My eyes finally found her; she was sitting on the cold forest ground. She was in pure shock; I could smell the vamp on her. I quickly changed to my human form and picked her up. She was shaking from the cold so bad. I realized at that moment just how close that the leach got to her. I could smell it on her. Her arm, hand and to my horror, her lips smelled.

Getting back to Emily's house, Lily ran into the bedroom as I placed her on the bed. Joey still was not able to say a word.

"It's ok Joey, I've got you! Your safe now, I won't let anything happen to you." I told her, as I pulled her into a hug, not wanting to let her go.

"Vampire!" She kept repeating over and over.

"Your protected here Joey, no stray vampire is going to come in this house. I promise you!" Jake told her, as he looked at me.

"Not a stray" She said.

She suddenly looked over at Lily. "Trent came back for me!" She whispered, right before she passed out.
