A/N: Okay, here we go!

I was aroused for my warm, comfortable sleep by Jared's large body shifting out of bed and failing miserably to be quiet, like he was hoping. "Where are you going?" I rasped, and then sat up and cleared my throat.

"I have to go baby, I've got to start my patrol."

"It's five thirty in the morning." I groaned.

He chuckled. "Yeah, I feel the same way but that's what I get for having the night off. Jake wants to get some sleep before his morning with Bella." He kissed me on the forehead. "Go back to sleep. The people working on your house won't be here for about another hour. I'll see you later this evening."

I watched him jog into the woods from my window quietly and stretched my arms upwards. I was wide awake now, so I decided to get up and start my day.

After I showered and ate breakfast, the men that Sam had called arrived and apparently the wall wasn't as bad as I had thought. Maybe it was just because I was in a panic, but I swore it should have taken them longer than two hours to fix it. Nevertheless, I thanked them endlessly because the wall looked like nothing had ever happened to it and bid them on their way.

And then it was nine, and just as I was debating on what I should do, my doorbell rang.

I opened it hesitantly, remembering what had happened the last time someone knocked on my door when I wasn't expecting them. But my worries were put at ease, it was just Sam. He wasn't going to hurt me.

He smiled at me. "Good morning, Kim. How are you?"

"I'm great. Thanks for paying for the wall, it looks good as new."

"Well, it's nice being able to fix damage that hasn't been made by Paul. We thought we were going to have to start calling it the Paul Fund." I laughed along with him, silently wondering what he was doing here. "I'm here to escort you back to my place." He said, answering my unspoken question.

I raised my eyebrows. "Okay, what for?"

"We caught wind of the vampire and she's extremely close. Jared has insisted that I get you out of the house and put you with Emily so we know where both of you are. Quil is there too, he'll protect you both."

I was nervous about seeing Quil again, but I didn't want to argue with Sam or frankly, be alone when there was a vampire on the loose. So I followed him into his big black truck and into his house, where he kissed Emily and told us to stay put. And then he was gone.

Emily wrapped me up in a hug. "How are you feeling? I heard you were out in the cold last night. You're not sick now are you? Do you have a fever?"

"No Emily, I'm not sick but thank you for asking."

"I'm going to make you a cup of tea anyway, just in case." She insisted, turning on the kettle.

I turned my attention to Quil, who was staring at the table, trying to keep himself in check. He looked like he couldn't decide whether or not to be happy or pissed. I sat down next to him. "Hey, Quil…"

He looked up and frowned. "I almost killed you." He said outright.

I looked at him for a minute and nodded. "Yep."

"I can't decide whether this is the coolest thing that has ever happened to me or the worst. I'm sorry I almost attacked you. Oh, and I'm sorry for accusing you." He sent me a smile that reminded me of his old self… Back when we were good friends. "I broke up with Summer."

I frowned. "How did she take it?"

"Not too good. She accused me of being in a cult. And then she asked me if we all gang rape you, and if that's why you're involved." He chuckled once without humor and I cringed. "Yeah, she's pissed. But upset more than anything."

"And how are you handling it?"

"Other than ripping apart your wall, I've done pretty well."

"I meant about Summer."

He frowned. "I feel horrible. I mean she was the only one who was there for me before when Jake and Embry left me. But, I think I'll be able to get over it. I don't want to involve her in this insanity and besides, if I didn't imprint, it's not meant to be." I saw him nod to himself, like he was reassuring himself that his reasoning made sense.

My uneasiness about being around him melted away and I got up to hug him. "Don't worry, Quil." I told him. "You will find a girl that's perfect for you."

Emily handed me my warm cup of tea and I thanked her before sipping on it. It had a nice lemony flavor to it and I relaxed a little bit.

I wasn't sure how much time had passed between us chatting and Quil eating, but at one point, Emily's house phone started to ring. I watched her face drop when she picked it up. "Oh no, is it serious?" She asked worriedly. Quil and I both perked up. "Okay… No of course not. I'll be right there."

"Emily what's wrong?" Quil asked in a businesslike tone.

"Harry Clearwater had a heart attack." She whispered and my face dropped. Oh no, poor Seth… Poor Leah. I thought of Sue, who had been there for me when my father died and I frowned. "I have to go to the hospital right now."

"I'm coming with you." I said and she nodded.

"I'll go tell the others what's going on." Quil said and the three of us rushed out the door as fast as possible.

When we got to the hospital, Emily immediately ran to Sue's side and wrapped her up in a hug. I trailed along slowly behind her, to where her little baby-faced son Seth was sitting. But then I noticed he didn't look so baby-faced anymore. He was started to look just like everyone else and his hands were trembling.

He was only fourteen…

I sat down next to him. "Hey, Seth."

"Oh hi Kim." He mumbled. The only reason we knew each other was because our fathers used to be really close friends. "I haven't seen you around in a while."

He was making small talk. I did the same thing when my father died. "Oh, Seth I know exactly what you're going through." I whispered and I hugged him. He started crying and my heart broke in two.

"Kim, I have to tell you something. You have to promise you won't think I'm crazy okay?" He said desperately. "My dad's heart attack… It happened because of Leah."

I furrowed my brows at him. "Your sister? What did she do?"

He looked me right in the eyes, begging me to believe him. "She turned into a wolf."

I shot up out of my seat and ran over to where Emily was standing, dragging her away. I couldn't care less than I was being rude. She looked at my panicked eyes. "What happened?"

"We need to get in contact with the guys. Leah's a werewolf."

She let out a little laugh. "That's ridiculous. I know the stories upside down and there is nothing in there about female wolves." I stared at her, desperately and she stopped laughing. "You're serious."

My eyes frantically searched around the room for someone, anyone, who would understand. I saw Billy and I ran over to him. "Billy, we have a problem."

It wasn't Jared that showed up at the hospital, much to my dismay. It was Paul and Quil. Quil made his way over to where his old, wisp of a grandfather was sitting and Paul came over immediately to me. "Where are the rest of them?" I asked.

"Out trying to find Leah and calm her down. Well, except Sam and Jacob. The leech lover decided that she was going to jump of a cliff for fun and nearly kill herself. Not to mention that she did this the exact time that the vampire was swimming in the water." He rolled his eyes in irritation. "Anyway, I need to talk to Seth."

"Let me come with you." I said immediately. Sending Paul over to talk to Seth about his sister and werewolves? That's definitely not smart. I followed him over to where Seth was and took his trembling hand. He looked up, red eyes and attempted to smile. "We need to talk to you about something really important."

"What you saw wasn't your brain playing tricks on you." Paul said. "Your sister actually did morph into a giant hairy wolf. I do too, and so do Sam Uley, Embry Call, Jared Cameron, Quil Ateara and Jacob Black."

"But… How?" Seth mumbled.

"Genetics, I guess. All the legends are true. All those silly superstitious tales that you've probably laughed at since you were a little boy are all true."

"But Leah? I don't remember anything about females being able to turn into wolves."

"Well," Paul chuckled. "That is something we're still trying to figure out."

Seth hung his head and I put my hand on his shoulder as Paul wandered off to talk to one of the Elders. "Seth, I don't know if I'm supposed to be telling you this, but I don't want to you to be taken by surprise okay?" I mumbled, trying to keep my voice down. "There is a really big chance that you…"

"Kim…" Emily whispered, coming up beside me. "Can you come with me? Sue needs to talk to Seth."

I looked up and Emily had tears in her eyes. I could see Sue behind her, trying to stand tall. "Oh no…" I whispered, taking Emily's hands and walking away with her. We watched silently from the other side of the waiting room, next to Sam who had gotten here just in time to say goodbye, as Seth lost it and ran out of the hospital, body trembling.

Sam turned to us. "We have to go after him and help out." He said regretfully. "Emily, Kim, will you guys stay here with Sue until we get this figured out?" We both nodded and he kissed us both on the head before speeding out behind Quil and Paul.

Emily immediately rushed over to Sue, hugging her and trying to console her but I took a moment to collapse into a chair for a breather, and stopped to think. Three more werewolves in a matter of two days…

I don't know how long I sat there waiting for Emily, feeling like an intruder, but eventually everyone had left and she was sitting next to me. "Come on Kim, let's go back to my house and wait for the boys to get back."

Back at her house, we found Quil sitting alone. "I'm not much help when it comes to those two." He shrugged. "I'm not even a day old. I still don't know what's going on."

And then two oversized wolves burst through the door. "The Cullen's are back." Sam said.

Emily and I looked at each other quickly. "All of them?" She asked, rushing to his side.

"No." Jacob spat bitterly. "Well, I don't know. I don't even know if it's them or if she's even alive!" He looked about ready to pull out all of his hair. "Can I borrow your phone please?" He asked Emily, stiffly polite.

I watched him worriedly as he dialed her number. For his sake, I hoped she wasn't dead. I knew when she picked up, because his eyes drooped with relief. "No, it's me." He said stiffly. "Just making sure you're still alive." I heard her saying something, although I only heard a mumbling sound when he cut her off. "Yeah, I got it." And then he slammed down the phone. "It's the Cullen's. I don't know who, I don't know how many. But they're back."

Sam nodded to him. "Well, this changes everything. We can't go on their land anymore, and we can't protect her anywhere except La Push anymore. We need to go tell the others."

"Wait!" Emily cried, grabbing on to Sam's arm before he rushed out the door. "How is she? Leah, I mean. And Seth?"

He looked at her softly. "Seth is doing as well as expected. He's with their mother right now. As for Leah, well, we're working on her. Quil, Jacob, let's go."

And the three of them charged out the door again, leaving Emily and I sitting around again, waiting for their return.

A/N: Sorry that these are getting so short. I'm just trying to put the events in where they make sense and not shoving them all together in one chapter. Don't worry, the length will grow once we get over this hump of events and get back to some K/J loving.
