SOPHIE'S POV

Today was my first ever patrol. I was both excited and scared because it was a big deal. I had never done it before. I figured it was just running in circles for hours. But I was looking forward to it anyway. I sped out of the room wearing shorts and a t-shirt. In my arms were fresh clothes which I was going to put by a tree outside the house. Paul looked me up and down.

"Someone's ready for their first day of training." He smirked. I rolled my eyes.

"You gonna train me or what?" So he got up and headed outside with me.

I placed the clothes down and then focused on shifting. We both exploded out of our skin's. My fur was shorter and easier to move in. I moved my paws walking backward and forward for a few seconds. Paul barked with laughter. We then both headed into the woods.

What can you see? Paul asked.

Trees. I told him blankly. He rolled his large wolf eyes.

Look ahead. Can you see Emily's house through the trees? He asked. So I looked. Amazingly I could see all the way to La Push beach. But I focused on Emily and Sam's place.

Now the route goes round the edge of the cliffs all the way to their house. He explained. We go through the forest after meeting at their house.

And off we went. We were strolling around the route Paul had gone in the opposite direction so we could meet at Emily's house. As I ran I caught a scent. It was like bleach. I cringed at the smell

Vampire. Paul growled in my mind.

What do I do? I asked. Paul then started refusing my involvement.

Stay there. He ordered.

I didn't listen.

I stalked my prey like Diego in the water in Ice Age 2. I watched the vamp move. She had long gold hair. She turned to face me her red eyes scowling in my direction. So I jumped on her.

We were both scrambling to win the fight whilst Paul screamed in my head for me to stop. She leapt on my back. Immediately I knew this was bad so I jumped up and slammed my back on the floor. It left a dent in the ground. But she continued holding on. So I started spinning around in circles. Finally she leapt off grabbing a tree. I then stopped spinning but by that point it was too late. She was underneath my legs. She grabbed my back leg and snapped it twice at both my knee and my ankle. I howled in pain.

I'm nearly there sis. Stay calm. He tried to comfort.

I grabbed her in my mouth a chewed on her head finally tearing it off and spitting it on the other side of the woods. I then tried to pull myself up onto three legs and started heading towards Emily's house. Paul met me on the way.

You okay? I shrugged my large shoulders

That thing broke my leg. I explained. I should be alright.

We got to Emily's house and Paul barked. Emily rushed out with clothes and saw my leg. "Oh Sophie…" How dare she pity me? I just took out a vamp with one of my legs broken. She should be impressed. I grabbed the clothes in my mouth and walked off into the woods shifting back and changing.

Paul shook his head at me as I limped over my foot facing the wrong way and my knee bending slightly backwards.

"Next time I tell you to stop just stop!" He yelled. I rolled my eyes.

"I'm fine Paul." I tried to convince. Emily then grabbed me and helped me waddle in.

"Why have so many vampires come recently?" I asked.

Paul was still scowling. "Why is it you who always finds them is the real question." He insisted. I then remembered the first one was heading for the Cullens.

"The Cullens." I realised my eyes wide. Paul looked over at me. "The first one was looking for the Cullens." I told Paul. He seemed confused.

"If the Cullens had vamps visiting they would tell us."

"Not if they weren't invited guests." I reasoned. Paul then also knew what I meant.

"You think they are being sent to the Cullens house without the Cullens knowing."

"Well yeah. I thought that was obvious." Paul then jumped up and grabbed the phone.

"Sam? I need you at Emily's." He then hung up instantly. Turning to look at my leg.

"You need to get that looked at." I flinched as Emily touched it and then pretended it didn't hurt.
"I'm fine." I tried to tell him.

"I'll call Doctor Leech." I groaned. I was fine. My leg just happened to be… twisted? Whatever it was it would heal. Paul left the room with the phone whilst I waited with Emily. Then Jacob rushed in.

"What happened?" He panicked looking at me. He was shocked. "Wow." He commented on my new look. Then his eyes opened widely as he stared in horror at my leg. I just scoffed.

"I'm fine! You guys need to stop worrying." I told him. He rushed to sit beside me.

"That is not fine. What happened?"

"Another rogue vamp. I killed it. No big." Clearly it was big.

"Paul let you kill a vamp alone?!" He yelled.

Paul walked back in. "No I didn't. She completely went against my warning and now her leg is screwed up. That's on her not me." He contradicted.

So they all waited till Sam got back having to explain to him what happened as well. He wasn't pleased. I was scolded like a child for not listening to Paul and was now under the watchful eye of Sam the Alpha. Yay. Not. Doctor Cullen finally showed his face. I hadn't met him before but he seemed… decent.

He looked at my leg with pity. "I don't know why you risked yourself like that Miss Lahote." He told me. "You didn't need to."

"They were coming for you." I explained. That caught both Sam and Carlisle's attention.

"They?" Carlisle asked.

So I explained. "Some guy the other day said he was looking for you. And now this chick shows up. My guess is they want to talk or harm you. I think it's meant to be a surprise visit." I told him. "I guess the cat's out of the bag."

Carlisle looked worried by this news. After snapping my leg back into place he gave me some pain medication and left clearly brooding over something. I figured it would take a day or so to heal but I wasn't about to let it stop me doing anything. I got up off the sofa and began walking towards the door. I tripped and luckily Paul and Jake caught my arms to stop me falling on my face.

"I'll take you home." Paul declared.

Jake came with us clearly hanging around out of fear for his imprint. Great. Jacob insisted carrying me there not letting my foot touch the ground.

"They aren't both broken you know." I told him.

He grinned. "I know. But it gives me an excuse to carry you." I smirked and rolled my eyes. Paul just gagged.

"Knock it off you two." Paul commanded revolted at pretty much nothing.

Jake just smirked. "What you mean this?"

And then he kissed me long and hard.

It was weird. I had never been kissed so randomly before. My eyes were wide with shock. I was stunned to the point I couldn't actually move. But it felt kind of… good. I pulled away my face turning red. I looked over at Paul to see him grimacing and storming ahead.

"What was that?" I asked.

Jake just raised his eyebrows suggestively at me. "Just needed to get it out of my system."

"So how long is that gonna last you?" I asked grinning slightly.

"About a minute."

"That long huh?" I laughed.

He was such a cheese ball.
