As expected, Alice and Jasper took Bella and I to Phoenix. To say that it has been boring would be an understatement.

We have been here for about three days currently and it's been maddening being confined in our hotel room. Alice and Jasper tried to keep me as sane as possible but even that was a challenge.

Everything went by in a blur over these past couple of days. I pretty much tuned everything out around me except when Alice and Jasper told us to start packing. Alice had her vision of James at Bella's ballet studio which signaled that facing James was inevitable.

Alice and Jasper were currently downstairs checking out of our hotel room while me and Bella were packing our stuff. We were going to meet Edward at the airport where he would take me and Bella somewhere safe. Though, I knew that was most likely not going to happen. I continue to pack only to stop when I hear Bella on the phone.

"Just. Don't hurt her. Where should I meet you?" An icy chill goes over my body. James was tricking Bella into thinking that he had her mom. I wanted to tell her that it was a trick and she shouldn't go but that would only raise questions. Was I really about to tell Bella about her life being in books? Was I ready to release that blow on my family? I wasn't even sure how they would react to this information. I stayed in my thoughts so long that I didn't notice Bella leaving the room.

It wasn't until I heard the door click that I realized that she had left. I didn't know what I should do but at the same time I did. Before Alice could possibly have her vision, I quickly hurried after Bella.

I soon got outside the hotel to see her getting into a cab. I turned to see one right behind me and quickly jumped into it. The driver looked startled that I hopped in so quickly. "I need you to follow that cab please."

The driver did what I told him to do. He kept his distance and we got to the ballet studio just as Bella was going inside. She was so oblivious that she didn't realize that I was right behind her. I gave the driver double the amount he asked for and made my way inside the ballet studio.

I paused thinking if this was a good idea. It was a stupid idea but I needed to save Bella. For Edward's sake and my family's, even if that meant that I could die. Once Bella's scream reached my ears, I took that as my cue to walk in.

I rushed into the room to see James hovering over Bella who was thrown into a mirror.

"Stop!" I interrupted him before he could do any more harm to Bella. James immediately stood up and slowly turned to face me. A sinister smile made an appearance on his face. How could something so cruel be on a face that was beautiful?

"Well well. You came after all." Bella look at me horrified because she knew that we were both in trouble.

"I couldn't let you harm her." I walked further into the room as James started to circle around me.

"That's very noble of you or just plain stupidity on your part." I was now in the middle of the room when James stopped. He stood in front of me and looked at me as his next kill.

I knew that this could be the end for me. Risking my life for someone who didn't exist in my world but I couldn't regret my decision. I gained another family and I was more than willing to die for them.

I looked into the eyes of a hungry predator who wanted my flesh and blood. James smiled at me as if I was an old friend before taking a step towards me. I took a breath as I prepared myself with the thought that he could end my life for good.

Without warning, James sped to me and launched me across the room. I landed into a mirror and glass soon rained down on me. I was just starting to sit up when James was in front of me again and threw me across the room towards Bella. I landed right next to her and was breathing heavily through all of the pain.

I took out a shard of glass just as James slowly took his time getting over to me. I looked at Bella pleading trying to tell her that she needed to leave.

I soon find my self thrown into another mirror and this time a shard went deeply into my back. Which caused me to let out a scream. I look up to see James making his way back over to me.

I just wanted all of this to stop. So I screamed again because of the pain and wanting this to end when a mirror close to James explodes. The glass rains down on him and he looks just as shocked as me. He turns toward me with narrowed eyes.

I start to struggle to get up. I need to somehow get Bella and I out of this situation. My thoughts are dashed when James breaks my leg which caused another scream.

My gaze is hazy from all the pain that engulfs my body. Not to mention the blood that's started to leave my body. "This will really break all of their hearts."

"Leave them out of this" I just barely manage to gasp out.

"Why? They have everything to do with this. You a mere human raised in a household full of vampires. It's quite tragic really. How could they stand to being around you when your so breakable?" I didn't get to respond before he stomped on my already broken leg. I tried not to scream but it escaped my lips before I could stop it.

Then all at once, the pressure on my leg was gone. I managed to lift my head up to see Edward crouched in front of me. So he did make it. My happiness was short lived when James grabbed Edward and threw him into a wall. Ringing bells were going off in my head that it made it near impossible to hear their voices. I felt my body being moved and suddenly felt weightless. That soon came crashing down when I was ripped out of someones arms and come crashing to the ground.

My body was slowly becoming numb because of all the pain that's being inflicted over me. It wasn't until I heard yelling and a loud crashing sound that I felt the fire in my arm. To say it was excruciating would be putting it lightly. It was like fire was eating me from the inside out.

Ear splitting screams were reaching my ears. It only took me a couple of seconds to realize that the screams were coming from me.

"Sophie!" I felt as if angels were surrounding me. Was this how I was going to die? What would happen to me in my other world? Would I die there officially as well? It took everything in me to open my eyes. It felt like someone was glueing my eyes shut, to make it harder for me to open them.

"Sophie, look at me." I glance up to see Carlisle, Edward, and Alice surrounding me. All of them look terrified, terrified for me.

"B...Bella..." I manage to gasp out. I could hardly make any words come out at all. It felt like the fire was smoldering me.

"She'll be ok. Emmett has her outside in the jeep." I nodded.

"F...fi...fire..." Then I let out another ear piercing scream. All of them wince.

"He bit her."

"Carlisle is there anything we can do? She can't become one of us like this." I felt Carlisle look over me for quite a while. I felt that he was thinking of different options.

"I think you can save her Edward. The venom is spreading quickly so you need to do it now."

"Carlisle!"

"Edward, Carlisle is right. You need to get the venom out of her system. Unless you want her to turn."

"You know that I don't want that."

"Then we need to decide now." Another scream from me seemed to answer their question.

I looked up at Edward while he smiled gently at me. "It's going to be ok Soph."

Everything becomes more of a blur at this point. I feel pain as he puts his mouth on the bite James gave me.

Then I felt as if I was floating on a cloud. I felt weightless and dizzy. My vision got even more hazy that I barely noticed Edward taking his mouth off of my arm and looking at me.

"Her blood's clean. I couldn't taste the venom anymore. She's lucky that she isn't Bella. I don't think I would have stopped if it was her in Sophie's situation."

"Car...Carlisle." I felt a new hand come in contact with my head.

"It's ok Sophie. Rest for right now. We are taking you to the hospital with Bella."

With that I allowed my heavy eyelids to finally close. Happily welcoming the darkness as it overtook my body.
