Lilly's POV:
Jacob had told me about Leah. She hated the vampires more then Sam did. If that was even possible. The look on her face was pure evil. I looked into her heartless eyes. I knew she was good at getting her way. And she wanted me dead.
I was at a disadvantage. I was alone, tired, cold, and hurt. I could feel the gray wolf smiling at me as she realized this too. She knew she was going to win this fight. No matter how much I tried. With a growl sent straight from Hell, Leah attacked. She pounced at me before I knew what she was even doing. She had me on the damp forest floor, tearing at my skin. I struggled as best as I could, but it would never be enough. She was much bigger and stronger than I was. I was losing faith. I wish Jacob would come looking for me. I needed him now, more than ever before.
Leah bit down on my neck and hurled me into a tree. I slid down the scratchy bark and lay motionless on the ground. Maybe if I played dead she would just go away. But the she-wolf was smarter than that. She ran her nose down my body, checking my sent. I knew now was my time to attack, but I had no energy to do so. Leah pushed against my rib cage with her nose and I let out a small yelp. Wrong idea. Leah and I were at it again. She had bitten me and crushed me against so many trees and rocks I could hardly see straight. As the minutes of fighting contuined, I could feel myself slipping away.
When I looked around, I could see we were back on the beach. I don't remember rolling onto the gravel, but sure enough, I could feel the cool waves ride up my back, soaking my already frozen shirt. Leah never let up. As soon as the blows would subside, a whole new wave of pain would come crashing in another angel. I decided to give up here. I was too far away to call for help. I had no idea where my Jacob was, or if he was coming at all. I used what little time I had left to dream about my Jacob.
I remember strolling down he beaches, hand in hand. I remember cuddling up in his Rabbit on the way home from school. I remembered the way his lips tastes, his laughter in my mouth when I would surprise attack him with kisses. These were the thoughts I wanted to die to. Not a massive gray wolf, snarling at me with my blood on it's muzzle...
Then it hit me. Blood. Carlisle once told me about the vampires and the werewolves. It wan't a long talk, but it was important. I was half vampire, so I had vampire venom. The werewolves can't handle vampire venom in their system. It shuts it down and kills them off slowly. I knew what I needed to do. But was I really ready to take someone else's life? Even if she was an enemy, she was still, somewhat, human. Then the thought came back. I was half vampire. Half. I wouldn't kill Leah. But I would buy myself more time than I had now.
As Leah went to sink her teeth into my neck again, I forced myself to sit up, and latched onto her neck. My teeth dug easily into her soft skin. I could taste the wolf in my mouth. The taste was unpleasant, but I was going to have to get over it. Leah yelped and tried to get me off, but I only heald on tighter. I needed this to work. Finally, she shook me off, but I had done my part. I was the winner. I could taste it. Leah scrambled away from me, howling in pain. I flopped back onto the beach, exhausted. Leah was still howling as she made her way into the woods.
I rolled over to face the water. The wolf blood was starting to take a toll on me. Then I remembered, it was a two way street. Vampires and werewolves were poisonous to each other. I could feel her blood sloshing around in my stomach. I wanted it out. The longer I heald it in, the more and more my body cramped and twinged in pain. I forced myself to throw up all the blood I had consumed. I was hunched along the shore as blood streaked down my face. The waves that were close enough to touch me swirled red around my knees. After forcing all of the venom out of my system, I fell back into the shallow water. Chills overthrew me, and I could hear high pitched noises over the crashing waves.
