A/N: Hi!! Before I say anything else, I really hope you guys like this chapter because, although it gave me some serious trouble, i loved writing this chapter! mainly because it has a bit of action in it, but also because i'm finally getting into the really good part! or at least i think its the really good part. ill let you guys be the judges though! :)

Two more things, one, i don't know if it will, but this chapter might confuse some people, it may not, but i just thought then, 'what if people are confused?' so anyway! if you are confused, just tell me in a review and ill answer your questions as best i can, without giving away any of the plot :D

Second thing is just a response to an anonymous review i got last chapter. This is just for Tired, the person who sent me a review anonymously and names themselves Tired. So if you are not that person, you can skip this and read on! unless your interested and want to read it then be my guest, whatever.

In response to your review Tired, I didn't know that if you aren't Native American you can't live on the Rez, your right that i probably should have checked that first and it was a mistake so thanks for pointing that out, i won't do it next time :) And for the other thing, i also didn't take the time to look into La Push's population, another thing i should have done but didn't and i thank you pointing that out to me. When I read your review I was i'll admit a bit pissed off at first, my thoughts went along the lines of 'if you haven't got anything nice to say don't say it at all' but then i thought about it again and figured that at least you were brave enough to say the things that i'm sure a lot of readers would have been thinking and i now believe that you have taught me a lesson not only with this story, but with ones i may write in the future, research first! So thanks for that and, though this may sound weird and stupid, im really glad you did it :)

Okay! I'm done! you may now, finally, read on! oh wait! thanks to everyone who reviewed last chapter! :D okay now you can read on! enjoy! :)


Kala's P.O.V

Chapter 34:

"I think you broke it Kala." I heard Seth sigh.

"What?" I looked up at Seth, what did he say?

"I said you've broken your hand. The same thing happened to Bella when she was human. You need to be more careful!" Seth sighed again.

I shook my head and ignored him, though it was hard to ignore my aching hand, stupid werewolf.

"Come on, I'll take you home, Mom can strap it up." Seth said, gently tugging me up.

I started shaking my head, "No, no, I won't leave them. Sam will kill them if I leave. I won't let him. You can't take me. I'll… I'll… you just can't take me!" I protested angrily and jerked away from Seth. I stumbled back over to my brothers who were still struggling around on the ground against a pain I could neither see nor protect them from.

"I won't leave you." I whispered to them.

"Kala you can't stay here." Seth grabbed my shoulders and turned me to face him, the expression on his face made it impossible for me to look away, "We won't let Sam hurt them okay? They'll be fine."

"No they won't Seth! Sam will hurt them! I know he will! It's his job to protect the tribe remember?" I shouted at him, tears stinging my eyes again.

Seth sighed and looked back at the woods where Jake, Embry, Quil and Leah had disappeared. He turned back to me with determined eyes, "Okay, how about this? We take them to the Cullen's house, Jake has a spare set of keys, then we call them and ask them to come back as soon as they can to help us sort this out. Is that okay with you?"

I thought about it for a minute and then nodded. I couldn't see anything wrong with the idea.

"Right, let me just phase and see if I can find Leah and the others to help. Stay here and don't move." Seth gave me a quick kiss before loping off into the woods.

I sighed and sat myself down on the ground. I suddenly felt extremely overwhelmed. How had everything gone so wrong so quickly? My brothers were turning into vampires for crying out loud! They were in what I could only guess was excruciating pain and I couldn't do anything to help them, Sam wanted to kill them and there were still three vampires out there hungry, or thirsty, for human blood.

Which led me to wonder how the wolves had gotten my brothers but let the vampires get away. I'd have to ask Jacob when he got back.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Sam, Jared and Paul start making their way over here so I quickly stood up to face them. If they thought I was going to let them hurt my brothers they were stupider than a drunk Paris Hilton.

My eyes narrowed as I glared at them with anger. Who did they think they were to get to decide that my brother's lives weren't important enough to keep alive?

"Go away." I growled at them but they just kept walking, each with a grim look on their face.

"I'm sorry Kala, but you know I can't let your brothers live, it's putting my tribe in danger and I won't have that." Sam said as the three amigos stopped a few feet away from me.

"No one will be in danger because once the Cullen's get here, they will sort everything out! We could move! To like… Alaska!" I protested.

Sam shook his head, "There is still a risk." And with that Paul and Jarrod both moved to form a circle around my brothers and I.

I looked around frantically to see if anyone could help but no one else was in the clearing anymore.

"You can't do this Sam! They are my brothers! Leah's imprint!"

"Innocent lives are in danger Kala." He replied in a monotone voice.

"MY BROTHERS ARE INNOCENT!" I shouted at him, "THEY WOULDN'T EVEN BE IN THIS SITUATION IF IT WASN'T FOR YOU!" Okay that wasn't exactly true but I was scared and angry and those two emotions coupled with me, are not a friendly combination.

Sam took a step forward and reached out towards me but I quickly dodged him.

"Go away! Leave them alone!" I shouted again as I felt angry tears spring to my eyes.

I turned to face Paul who was reaching for Seb and lashed out at him with my foot.

He quickly pulled it away, growling at me. I just growled back. That's right, I growled.

"You can't stop us Kala. Get out of the way, I don't want to hurt you but I will if I have to. No one will get in my way of keeping the tribe safe." Sam said in the same monotone voice.

I turned back to Sam but tried to keep Jarrod and Paul in my peripheral vision, "I won't let you hurt them."

The next thing that happened I didn't even see coming, literally. Sam's hand flashed lightning-fast forward and wrapped around my neck. My eyes widened in fear and I tried pulling his hand away but couldn't, I could still breathe but it wasn't easy.

Sam lifted me up in the air by my throat; cutting all my air supply off and suddenly I was flying through the air.

This all happened in a few seconds so I didn't have time to scream before I felt myself smash into a tree I didn't even know was there. I landed on the ground with a painful thump, gasping for air and with the pain that was now coursing through my body.

How could Sam have done that? He threw me into a freaking tree! Admittedly I hadn't known him long but I didn't think he would do something like this.

I watched from my crumpled spot on the ground, pain stopping me from moving, as Sam, Paul and Jarrod advanced on my brothers.

I tried to cry out but I was in too much pain. Everything hurt and I could tell from the black spots that were starting to appear across my vision that I wouldn't be able to keep my eyes open for much longer.

All of a sudden five massive forms sprung from behind the trees to my right and raced towards my Sam and the others.

Seth.

As soon as Seth, Leah, Jake, Embry and Quil burst out from behind the trees Sam, Jarrod and Paul phased.

The three of them were so close to my brothers they nearly crushed them but just barely missed. Thank God.

Seth launched himself at the wolf that was Paul while Embry and Quil took on Jarrod and Jake and Leah ran at Sam.

They were fighting each other, and not mock fighting either but actually fighting, fighting to hurt each other. I wanted to shut my eyes or look away but I couldn't, all I could see was my sandy-coated imprint, much lighter and more agile than Paul's huge form, dodging Paul's efforts at hurting him. It was almost as if Seth was dancing around Paul's big, bulky body.

And in the very middle of it were my brothers, still writhing around on the ground, sometimes crying out in pain, unaware of the fight that was going on around them.

This has to stop, I thought, I couldn't let the wolves fight each other just as much as I couldn't let Sam, Jarrod and Paul kill my brothers.

So I started crawling, well I actually tried to sit up first but when I felt sharp stabbing pains course through my body at that attempt I stopped immediately.

I hadn't even gotten a few inches away from where I had landed at the base of the tree when a shadow fell over me.

I looked up to see a man looking down at me with ruby red eyes, snow-white skin and a smile so cold it could have been made of ice.

A vampire.

He had black hair, which made a brilliant contrast compared to his white skin and if it weren't for the red eyes and evil smile I would have said he was handsome in that classic movie way.

I frantically tried to crawl backwards and scream for help at the same time but for the second time that day I found my voice didn't work. No sound would come out.

The vampire leaned down, still smiling creepily and said, "You and your brothers are quite a talented family you know. Well, you will be once you are all transformed. But," he sighed, "it seems that your brothers are currently out of our reach." He smiled creepily again, "You on the other hand, are much more accessible."

I screamed a soundless scream for help as the vampire reached down and grabbed me, slinging me over his rock-hard shoulder.

I bashed my hands against his back trying to ignore the pain in my hand, but it had no effect so instead I tried waving my hands to get Seth's, or anyone's, attention but it also had no effect, as they were all too busy fighting each other.

The vampire took off at a terrifying speed with me on his back, the last thing I saw before the trees blocked my vision was Seth, my beautiful Seth, dodging another of Paul's attacks.

We, or should I say the vampire with me on his back, had been running for about 10 minutes before we joined up with two other vampires, one male and one female. I recognized them, as well as the one carrying me, to be the ones who had first taken my brothers.

"Good job Kenneth, now let us leave before the werewolves discover she is missing." The other male vampire said.

He had white blond hair, pale skin and red eyes that held a sort of feral look in them.

The woman I could see also had the white skin and red eyes but instead of blond or black hair, hers was a light brown that reached just below her shoulders.

I tried letting out another scream but found my voice still didn't work. What was it? Why didn't it work?

And then I knew, it was one of the vampires; it was one of their abilities. Like Alice could see the future and Edward could read minds, one of these vampires could take away your voice.

The vampires ran, with me along for the ride, for hours, at least it seemed like hours. I was amazed that they managed to dodge trees so easily but the pace at which we were traveling still terrified me.

It was dark by the time we stopped and I had no idea where we were. The scenery had all moved too fast for me to get a proper look at it but now that we were stopped, at the mouth of a cave, I could see we were still surrounded by trees and at the base of a large cliff with the cave we were now entering looking like nothing but a big, black hole.

The vampires, who I now knew to be Kenneth, the one who had captured me, Helena, the woman and Roland, the blond guy, continued walking through the cave and seemed to know where they were going, even though I couldn't see a thing.

After walking for about five more minutes they stopped. I heard a click and suddenly light illuminated the cave. The light was coming from a small camp lamp that I assumed to be powered by batteries. There was nothing else in the cavern except the vampires and myself.

Kenneth dumped me painfully on the hard, rock floor and I whimpered when I landed on my sore hand. It still hurt.

Hey! I could speak again! I realized.

I looked warily at the three vampires who were now all staring at me intently.

I set my jaw, put my bravest face on and asked, "Why did you bring me here?"

Kenneth cocked his head, staring at me as if I was some sort of fascinating creature he had never seen before.

Helena laughed and said, "She is brave for a human and she will be even better once she has been changed. I can see great things from her. She will be strong and powerful." The way she said those things was the same way that Alice said things when she had glimpsed at the future. Not like she was guessing, but like she actually knew.

Roland looked me up and down and then began circling me as if he were examining a racing horse he was about to buy.

"Strong legs, she will be fast." He observed, "She is young though, how old are you girl?" he asked me.

I locked my jaw shut and didn't say anything. I'd watched enough scary movies to know not to say anything to my captors, ever.

The blond vampire stopped walking and looked at me in a deadly quiet voice, "Did you not hear me girl? I asked you how old you were."

I didn't say anything again, just glared rebelliously back into his red eyes.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw Helena grin wickedly and lean forward as if in excitement.

"A quiet one I see." Roland said again in that deadly voice.

And then there was pain, not physical pain, but emotional, mental. It was as if I was reliving all the emotional pain and hurt I had ever felt. When my parents died, when I found out Seth was a werewolf, when I saw my brothers screaming in pain, when I heard Sam wanted to kill them. I relived it all and it felt like both my head and my heart were going to explode.

And just like that the pain was gone but I was left sobbing, curled up in a ball with tears streaming down my face.

So that was his gift, pain.

"Are you going to tell me now girl? Or do I have to give you another dose?" Roland asked me.

"S-sixteen." I sobbed out.

Helena laughed a high, shrill laugh.

"Sixteen. We can use that, you are young, innocent looking. Anyone will believe you." Roland spoke more to himself than anyone else.

I tried to stifle my sobs as I looked up fearfully at the blond vampire.

He looked down at me thoughtfully again and said, "I suppose there is no point in leaving you human any longer. The werewolves are sure to be on our tail by now and we want to be further away than just the border."

I gasped. We had passed the border? We were in Canada? Wait- they were going to change me? Turn me into a vampire?

Roland turned to Kenneth then and said, "Would you like to do the honors Kenneth? She will, after all, be your mate."

Mate? Oh hell to the no!

Kenneth smiled that same creepy, evil smile he did when he first found me, "I would love to."

"No!" I screamed and tried to get up and run but was pushed back down and forcefully rolled over so I was laying on my back, with Kenneth sitting on top of me, preventing me from moving.

He smiled and said, "I hope your transition is fast young one. You will, as Roland said, be my mate and I can't wait to have all of you."

Terrified and disgusted I pushed at him with all my strength but of course, he didn't budge.

"No, no no no no." I cried over and over again as the vampire ran his ice-cold fingers down my cheek, my neck, my shoulder and coming to a rest at my wrist.

He brought my wrist slowly up to his smiling mouth, never taking his eyes off mine, and bit down hard.
