"Why is his heart beat off?" Leah asked. She was laying on the bed the Cullen family had used for Embry's hospital bead. He was covered in bandages and had a ventilator on. She was carefully laying next to him and had his head on his chest. She was so scared to move… she could still hear his heart beat.

"Leah we don't know." Sam shrugged helplessly next to her. He was connected to Embry's blood bag giving him blood.

"Leah you have to eat." Sue begged but Leah shook her head.

"She's afraid if she lift's her head she wont ever hear his heart beat again." Edward answered. Leah growled at him.

"I am afraid if you keep going through my head I will rip yours off Edward. So get the fuck out of here. It was your kind who did this to him." Leah spat close to phasing.

"Enough." Jake ordered Leah as Edward left the room. Leah glared at Jake.

"Leah don't make me alpha command you to eat. You've lost some serious weight since all of this." Jake begged as Leah continued to glare at him.

"He will not die in the next couple of days." Alice answered making everyone sit up.

"You can't see that." Leah growled at her getting tired of false promises.

"She can." Carlisle spoke walking through the room.

"You all should be able to sense it by now. His heart rate has changed, his skin isn't as warm and he is unable to heal from his wounds..." Carlisle began to explain.

"Are you saying he is human?" Quill jumped up astonished. Leah's heart dropped. She didn't know why. It wasn't a bad thing… better a human than a vampire or dead.

"I can't speak as to what happened but he is for certain a human now. I have a theory but I've never experienced this phenomenon." Carlisle said astonished.

"Spit out the theory." Seth sighed knowing his family couldn't take much more of this bullshit. None of them especially Leah have ate or slept in months. Embry had been a vegetable for 2 months after withering in pain for weeks.

"The venom would have turned any human into a vampire. But when Quill was bit his slow heart beat kept the venom from turning his cells. It's all about how the venom is pumped through the veins. His genes saved him but at the cost of losing his werewolf genes. The venom killed his ability to heal which is why Sam is donating blood. I am hoping it can destroy any left over venom. Sam is the only match." Carlisle explained.

"Well I guess you guys are actually related." Collin quipped earning a growl from Sam, Jake and Leah.

"So he is human? But will he heal from this?" Sue sobbed.

"Time will tell. His body is healing but for some reason his mind is unresponsive at the moment." Carlisle answered.

"Prepare for the worst is what you are telling us." Leah spat earning a somber nod from Carlisle before he left the room.

"He will make it though." Leah affirmed earning sympathy looks from everyone. She believed he could make it through… as fate had it she would be right but at what cost?

Weeks Later

"Hey Embry… I don't know if you can hear me…" Quill started to say. The rest of the pack was sleeping downstairs. Only Leah was in the room and she was asleep next to Embry. She thought she would miss his heart beat if she went away. If she did leave it was to shower and pee which would take five minutes. She curled into him hoping to keep him warm. He was so cold now.

"I don't know what I am doing… maybe praying but not to God. Maybe just hoping you can hear me." Quill muttered tears slipping down his face.

"I know what you went through… to… to …. Save Claire…" Quil started to sob uncontrollably. It had been three months since they rescued everyone. Claire hadn't been the same and in fact no one had. The majority of the families had returned to their homes but the pack took turns guarding their families, sleeping and visiting Embry. Leah and Quill were the main ones that stayed at the Cullen house. Claire chose to stay with Quill.

"We need you to wake up… I can't live in a world without my best friend. Sam may be your brother but I think you know we are brothers as well. Maybe not in blood but we are brothers. I need you to survive. I can't have anyone else as my best man or my kid's favorite uncle. I can't live in a world where you don't fucking make fun of me or tease me about Claire. You helped me pass math in high school when I was so dyslexic the shapes danced. I can't imagine you not waking up. I need to be able to say thank you for saving Claire's life. You saved everyone and you are going to wake up so I can thank you…." Quill shook.

"Dude I am serious. I need you to wake up so I can thank you for saving her life. I also am planning on yelling at you too... because now Claire just wants to suck my dick and I don't know how to handle this problem…" Quill laughed as he cried. He began to wipe tears from his eyes when he heard a familiar laugh.

"A hot girl wants to suck your dick and you still complain?" The voice laughed lightly wincing. Quill jumped up and saw Embry slowly open his eyes.
