(Cassandra's POV)

When we crossed the border Haven stopped the car and my door was wrenched open and suddenly I was being held in Embry's loving embrace. I started crying again when I remembered Willow's threat on Embry's life. "Embry, he's coming to kill you. Willow sent Addison to kill you, she told me so." I said through my sobs. "Shh. Cassy, listen to me. We killed Addison. Ripped him apart and burnt all the pieces. He's gone for good." Embry said squeezing me just a little tighter. I was so happy to hear that he was gone. Now all we had to do was to kill Willow.

We went back to Sam's and he made me go upstairs while he and the boys talked about their plan. I wanted to know their plan, but I had a plan of my own. I pulled out my phone and scrolled down till I found Jake's number and I hit dial. The phone rang twice before Nessie answered it. "Hello?" She asked quietly. I had a feeling that Jake was still asleep. "Nessie, listen, it's Cassy. I really need to talk to Carlisle. Can you put him on the phone?" I asked as quickly and quietly as I could, hopefully no one would here me. "Is everything okay Cassandra?" Nessie asked sounding more than a little upset. "Not really Nessie, they came back. Addison and Willow. We killed Addison and I have a feeling that Willow is tired of the games. She got to me today, she said she would give me a week to settle my affairs, and then she was going to kill me." I stopped to let that sink in. "I really need to talk to him Nessie. Please?" I was practically begging her, but my pride was almost gone anyways. "Cassandra?" Carlisle asked from the other line. "Carlisle, I know I wasn't supposed to contact you, but I'm in big trouble. I don't know what all Jake and Nessie told you, but my mother is a vampire. She's the one who wants to kill the Volturi and she wants me to do it. She's after me Carlisle. It's serious, she's given me a week, before she kills me." I stopped talking and waited for him to say something. "We're on our way." It was the only thing he said before he hung up.

I decided it would be best to tell Sam before they got here so I went downstairs. They were still in the meeting but I interrupted them anyways. "Sam, don't completely hate me okay?" He looked worried. "What did you do Cassy?" He asked slightly raising his voice. "I called the Cullens. They're on their way here now." I knew Sam would be pissed but now I had the whole pack, including Embry, breathing down my neck. "Why the hell did you do that?" Sam asked taking a deep breath and trying to calm down. "Because we need their help even if we don't want it. Believe me I don't want them to come back anymore than you do, because I know they are going to leave again. But if I can suck it up, so can you. Willow talked to me in the store today. She gave me a week before she kills me. One week, Sam, we've been chasing her just over three months now." I said making sure I got my point across. When he flinched just slightly I knew it had worked. "Alright, but I'm not happy about it." Sam gave in and with him so did the pack.

I gave Sam a quick hug and grabbed Embry by the hand and pulled once. He understood what I wanted and followed me, I lead him into the room that I was using and sat down with him on the bed. "Embry, you have to believe me when I say that I didn't do this to upset any of you, or to make you feel insignificant. You are my life, and I don't want some stupid vampire bitch to mess with my life. I don't want her anywhere near any of the pack, you guys are my family, and I love you. I called them because I had a feeling that between you guys, and the Cullens, we could make quick work of her. Think of how it will be when she's gone for good. I can move back to my house, and if you want maybe, you could move in with me?" I knew it was a big step, but I was in love with him, and I knew with all my heart that he loved me too. "Cass, I would love to live with you." He said leaning down to give me a kiss. "But, I'm still not happy about the Cullens coming back. I know you still love them but I don't want you to get hurt again. You don't know how bad it hurt to see you torn down like that after they left, I thought my heart might explode with the pain." His jaw was clenched and his knuckles were white. "I know Embry, that's why I wont try to care anymore, they are our allies and nothing more. When they leave, I wont cry." I was saying it to myself as much as I was saying it to him. He laid me down beside him and soon we were both drifting in white tides of sleep.

Around three in the morning I felt Embry moving around and then he got off of the bed. It woke me up and I sat up rubbing the sleep from my eyes. "Cass, go back to sleep, I have to go on patrol for a few hours, and then I'll be back here." Embry said pulling me into a warm hug. I laid down after he left the room and was out like a light.

I don't know what time it was when I woke up again, but something had driven me from my peaceful sleep. I laid still and tried to find out the source of the disturbance, it came a few seconds later in the form of the phone ringing. I waited to see if Sam or Emily would answer it but it rang six times before I knew I would have to answer it. I walked downstairs, there was a note stuck to the fridge.

Cass,

Sam and I had some business to attend to, we'll be back around six tonight. Be careful, tell one of the guys that they have to stay in the house with you. Sam's orders. Don't let the guys eat all the food, and be good.

Love,

Emily.

I smiled and then the phone began to ring again. I crossed the kitchen and picked it up. "Hello, Uley residence, how can I help you?" Sam had told me not to answer the phone like that, but it was funny to see what the person on the other line said. "Cassandra, it's Carlisle. We need permission to cross the border, Willow has followed us from the airport and then ran over the border. Let me talk to Sam." I shook slightly, Willow was in the border, and I was alone in the house. "Sam's not here, but I give you permission to cross the border. He wont be back until late, so he'll just have to get over it." Carlisle hung up not long after that and I dialed Embry's number. He answered on the fourth ring. "Hello?" He must have been in wolf form because he was awake but it took him a while to answer. "Embry, I need someone to come by Sam's. I'm alone, because Sam and Emily had to go somewhere. Sam's orders, someone has to stay here with me. And, I need you to alert everyone, Willow is on our side of the border and the Cullens are in pursuit, by my permission." He was silent for a moment. "Alright, I'm sending Seth over, I'll be there later, and I'll let everyone know about the Cullens." He hung up before I could say anything else.

Less than an hour later, the door was pushed open. I was in the kitchen and thought that it must have been Seth, until I heard her laugh. "Willow." I said turning around with a large butchers knife in hand. "Cassy Bug." She said smiling at me. "Shut up! Only my mother can call me that! And she's dead!" I screamed throwing a glass at her. It hit her in the chest and shattered. She didn't even flinch. "Tsk. Tsk. I am your mother, I'm just stronger now." She said advancing on me just a bit. "No you are a monster, begot by a monster. I refuse to be a part of the chain. If you change me, the pack will kill me. I'll make sure of it." I said, I was crying now. The thought of having to have my family kill me was excruciating. "You know, I don't think they will. Not even if you begged them too." She advanced a bit more. "Then the Cullens will. They have seen what is to happen should I be changed, they wont let it happen, ever." I said brandishing the knife in front of her. She stopped in her tracks. "You think a knife can hurt me? You foolish little girl, did you learn nothing when you lived with the vampires? Only two things can truly hurt us." She said pulling the knife from my grip. "Unlike humans, we are nearly indestructible." She said grabbing my left arm. She pulled the knife down it slowly, the blade was digging deep into my arm, and the pain was horrible. She stopped at my wrist and then laughed. "You are so fragile, it's pathetic really." She said doing the same thin to my right arm. I screamed and tried to pull away from her but she held me firmly in place.

The blood was dripping down my arms and into Emily's kitchen floor. I wonder if she would be mad about that, it was possible it would stain. Willow pushed me into a chair at the kitchen table. I watched as her eyes went from a bright scarlet red to a dark almost coal black. She was hungry, I hoped that she wouldn't be able to stop, I would rather die than go through the change. I was wrong about her strength though and she quickly bit into my shoulder and pulled away. I started to scream as the burning grew stronger as it spread through my body. I was on the brink of passing out when I heard the kitchen door being broken down. I saw a crowd of people standing there, but could do nothing but scream as the venom scorched me from the inside out. I passed out a few seconds later, but even through the haze I heard someone screaming.
