Listen to Ben Cocks 'So Cold' when reading first part

'Lil?' Paul called over to me

'Yeah?' I said not looking around, I had flicked paint everywhere, he didn't reply I looked around worried about him, he was looking out of the window, I walked over to him, I stood next to him.

'Look' he said softly, it was my Aunt and Uncle standing against the trees, he was burning hot

'They are on my land' he said in a deep voice

'NO Paul, don't' I said realising what was going to happen

'Go upstairs' he ordered me

'No stay here, please Paul' my voice getting tight almost panicked

'GO upstairs' he shouted at me a deep growl escaping his lips, his eyes fixed, staring hard I looked outside my Aunt and Uncle just stood there holding hands, looking normal, I wished they were just there usual human selves.

'Edward is playing with us ignore it Paul, they are not fair game!' I hurried pulling on his arm, he stood there as though made of marble

'Lily, I can't let them on our land we have laws, they could hurt you, kill you, HE could be in the trees' he said in a harsh time

'Paul if you hurt them I can't... I can't be here' I said tugging his arm

'Then go upstairs!' he shouted again, he was so angry, his teeth clenched, his hands in fists. tears sprang to my eyes I just looked away from him, I took one last look at my Aunt and Uncle, Paul was shaking I bolted up stairs, I heard Paul shout and swear before he phased, I just ran upstairs found my head phones and buried my head under the covers.

I didn't know how long it had been, I had just lay there, feeling sick and hurt, I felt someone touch my leg I jumped and looked up taking my headphones off, I looked around it wasn't Paul, it was my Aunt, I was so shocked

'Lily, come with me' she said reaching her hand out to me

'How do I know if it you?' I asked her

'It is me Baby, I wanted to see you but he, that Paul kept me away, spreading lies' she said looking around. I jut shook my head shying away from her I believed Paul more than anyone and loved him. She felt cold, her eyes flicking gold and Red

'Come on' she said forcefully

'I can't' I said quietly moving away from her

'Just take my hand and we can all be together, as a family' she said getting sterner and more forceful, I just shook my head praying Paul would come home.

'You bitch' she spat making a lunge for me I cried out, she was so fast she grabbed my ankle as I made my way across the bed.

'Fuck' I cried out scrambling away from her, I yanked hard, she snarled like a wild animal, her teeth red, my heart was pounding in my ears, I needed to get out of here fast, I felt trapped

'Paul! PAUL' I shouted as loud as I could

'Join US, Keep the family together! JOIN YOUR MOM' she cried out as though she was possessed

'What?' I said my back against the wall, she was almost circling me, so I couldn't get away.

'WHAT DID YOU SAY' I shouted a small smile on her face anger rising up from my stomach

'Join us, fight for freedom, fight with our master' she said holding her hand out, shaking slightly, dried blood over her arms.

'Paul, PAUL' I screamed as loud as I could looking for a way out, she flew forwards staring deep into my eyes.

'SHUT UP' She roared scaring me all traces of my Aunt gone, she really was a monster now, Paul was right, this was the war, us against them. My family all leaving me, where the hell was Paul?

I couldn't hear anything, was he hurt? did he need help?

'Where's Paul?' I asked her, she was keeping her distance as though she was here to collect me and keep me safe as she had let me go and hadn't attacked me the same way Edward hadn't attacked me.

'He is with us now, join us. Join your Paul, he is waiting for you, he was worried you wouldn't come with us' she said shaking more and more.

'No' I said shaking my head

'Yes' she almost hissed

'Never he hates you, your kind you don't belong here, you're on our land, he'll kill you' I said praying he would be here here. She stated to laugh, getting more and more, intense laughing showing her blooded teeth, and skin, her permed hair congealed, with leaves, twigs blood as it pointing out in every direction and crazy.

'You know nothing you human bitch' she called out

'Get the fuck away from me' I shouted raising my arms, courage coming from a place I didn't know existed, I couldn't leave Paul. She backed off slightly

'So you're maser, what does he want with me?' I asked trying to get around to the door

'Come with me, I'll take you to him' she said grabbing out for me I retracted from her as though she would infect me.

'ANSWER ME' I shouted down to her, my eyes wide and taking deep breath this woman in front of m didn't answer, she looked up her eyes a bright red, it shook me she then flew on me, knocking me over her body pinning me down, her hands keeping her up, snapping near my face, I pushed her away, kicking and screaming for help, he look in her eye crazy, nothing like my Aunt, she was so strong. The stench from her making me feel sick, like rotting flesh, it turned my stomach. Her hair falling in me face, I felt my arms start to shake, I couldn't get her away

'HELP, HELP' I screamed over and over again, my shoulder was not going to hold out much longer, she was drooling over me, making horrific noises.

I was still kicking, tears and drool dripping down my face, my heart still pounding adrenaline still pumping through me, I summoned all the strength I could have, for my Mom my human Aunt and Uncle, for Paul and for myself. I got both of my hands under her chin and with a loud grunt I pushed up as hard as I could her hands tried to get me off, she put her hand down, it landed on my throat, I took a strained breath in as though it may be my last, the pain was so much, my head felt as though it was going to explode, I pushed again as hard as I could, my eyes going in and out of focus, I didn't see the crack appear along her neck.

'FUCK YOU' I said as loud as I could, I had to stay calm her crazy eyes still looking into mine.

'Lily please' she said softly ignored her plea I kept pushing the pain my throat feeling as though it will collapse and fold so I wouldn't be able to breath again I took another long breath in. the crack getting bigger and bigger, my legs still kicking as I pushed. I heard the snapping and snarling the doors banging though the house the house almost shaking, a loud snarl, almost a roar.

Paul.

The large dark grey fur flew over me and my Aunt vanished from on top of me her hand left my throat, I took a deep gasp of air in and rolled over onto my front as she had taken me with her slightly as she was pulled away, Paul with the woman as though she was a rag doll smashed through the window, I just lay there taking the air in my throat, I kept my eyes hut, I opened them, there were spots, as though I couldn't see directly, I put my hand to my throat, my arms ached I ran my hands down to my shoulder and arms, I lay there breathing deeply aching all over. Tears bluring my vision, I wiped at my eyes trying to get them clear, I didn't realise that the drool had wet the blood from my aunt, in the struggle it was wiped over my skin, human, animal I didn't want to know, all I knew is that it was over me.

I heard screaming, snapping and snarling it sounded as though a thick pot was dropped then silence then there were more howls, the others were there.

'Paul!' I tried to call out in a now raspy voice from all the screaming and the choking I rolled on my side to try and get up.

'LILY?!' I heard him shout, almost in pain I just lay my head back down I heard his footsteps heavy as they ran through the house and up the stairs, he slammed the door open it banged against the wall leaving a dent, it didn't make me jump, I was still whimpering, tears streaming from my eyes. Paul fell by my side.

'Shit, Shit' He said in a blind panic looking at me, I just reached out and took his hand he kissed the back of my hand he helped me up I just clung on to him. Taking slow wheezing breaths

'I'm so sorry' he said into my ear over and over he was out of breath, he was holding me up I was so upset I couldn't even take in what had just happened. I just clung on to him he sat down and took me with him I sat sideways on is lap all wrapped up in him my face buried into his shoulder, climbing on.

'Oh my god' I said in a raspy voice shaking tears flowing I wiped them on his shirt

'You need to get checked over, what did she do, are you okay, I'm so sorry' he hurried not knowing where to start or what to do. I just leaned back looking at him, he had blood all over him,

'Oh God, you're covered, are you' I said trying to move of of him but his arms were fixed on keeping me close to him.

'Paul? Lily?' Jakes booming voice called out from downstairs, I buried my face back in to Paul, his hand came up and ran through the back of my hair, down to my back over and over again, soothing me.

'Paul, how is Lil-?' Jake said I just clung onto Paul he let out a protective growl

'How do you think?' Paul spat at Jake

'Alright well what do you want-' Jake asked the tears were still spilling out of me, I wasn't sobbing

'Leave us, I should have never left you' he said turning his head into my neck breathing heavy

'Sam and I will stay close, the others on patrol' Jake said and seemed to stay for a second then I heard him leave and close the front door softly.

'I should never have left you, I could have lost you' Paul said, his voice catching he held me tighter his head buried in my neck

'You saved me' I said my voice coming out as a strained whisper

'No I nearly lost you' he said his voice caught again

'Paul no, please' I moved my head slightly he was looking down, not at me

'You kept me here,' I told him, running my finger under his chin he just shook his head

'She could have killed you' He said as though I was unaware of what could have happened

'Where were you? I needed you' I asked him swallowing and wincing

'There were so many of them, it was an ambush, the others didn't get here in time, there were about 12 newborns all here for us, as though they had been waiting, I couldn't keep then back, it was terrifying and that bitch got here, in our room , on you, nearly killing you, Jake and Sam helped finish them off, I couldn't get to you, they were going to kill us, or turn us, I don't know which would be worse, I heard you, calling, screaming for me, I couldn't come to save you, I can't un-hear you, it's breaking my heart' he said in a long breath he raised his head, his eyes shimmering with tears, I just placed my hand on the side of his face and dipped my head, tilting my head, closing my eyes and feeling a tear roll down my face as I placed my lips on his warm lips. He pulled me closer to him, our lips parted but joined as soon as they left one another, I moaned softly against his lips as he let out another possessive growl, his hand still resting on my back, time seemed to disappear, just us. Our lips re-joined a few more times, we paused our lips close together, I licked my lips, my breathing heavy, my heart beating fast, Paul had his eyes closed tightly.

'You saved me' I told him resting my forehead against his, we stayed close for a while longer, not saying anything just being close together, as though it was helping us heal.

After half and hour, I sighed and looked at him, he gave me a small smile,

'Are you hurt?' he asked me for the hundredth time

'No. I just want to have a shower, are you okay?' I asked looking at him

'I'm fine, nothing will hurt me' he said with a slight smirk and that sparkle in his eye, I rolled my eyes and laughed softly. I slowly stood up from his lap, I looked over at the broken window, my knees seemed to buckle under me, he put his arm around my waist keeping me up. I just looked up at him, we walked in to him bathroom, he turned the shower on, keeping his hand on me the whole time, he started to turn around to leave, I just held onto him.

'Stay?' I asked him quietly he just stood there, he wrapped his arm around me and placed another soft kiss on my lips, making my stomach flip.

'I'll never leave, whatever you want' he said in a deep, promising voice. I tuned around and un done my dungarees and pulled my top off, keeping my bra and underwear on, the blood on my arms and stomach would wash off, I saw him looking me up and down over and over again, I just looked away embarrassed, he caught himself and cleared his throat.

'Do you want me to wait next door or get your clothes?' he asked once I was clean

'Yes please' I waited until he was out of the room, I took everything ff and climbed under the warm water letting it wash all over my body I raised my face up to the shower head, letting it hit my face, letting it wash away any remains on my body, I rubbed shower jell all over my body over and over again.

'Your clothes are on the chair' Pauls voice called out to me, I peeked my head around the curtains 'Are you having a shower?' I asked him he nodded and took his shirt off my eyes just widened as I went back around the curtain, I washed the shower jell of, feeling as though I had scrubbed a few layers of skin off of my body.

'Turn around' I ordered him, he did as I asked. I pulled the towel around me and took my clothes and took them too the bedroom, I never saw Paul look over his shoulder watching me walk away before he got into the shower, I changed into the leggings and underwear my shoulder was now really stiff I couldn't lift it to put the top on, I found a hoodie instead to pull on. The shower shut off as I had just put the hoodie on, I was upside down letting my arm fall to help me put it on. I stood up holding my arm close to me, I just looked at the floor where I had had the struggle, the room still stunk of the stench. I looked through the broken window plums of smoke rising high into the sky, I just frowned not realising they were the bodies of the new borns, I saw Sam in his black wolf form, strolling around. I backed away from the window, I turned and looked to see Paul walk out in just a towel around his waste, the water steaming off of his warm body. I was still shaking slightly, as the cold was coming though the smashed window, I looked away as he got dress, his arms wrapped around me from behind I placed my hands on his arms as he nuzzled into my neck.

'Come on' he said softly walking away from the room, the doors had slammed into the walls so hard, leaving dents in the walls. Paul had hit into the wall so hard and ran so fast leaving scratched in the floor, the front door almost hanging off it's hinges, paint spilt everywhere, the whole place was trashed.

'Paul your house!' I said shocked covering my mouth as I looked around at it all

'Don't worry, it can all be fixed' he said taking my hand away from my face. I just sniffed and turned into Paul resting my head on his chest, his hand went to my back in slow circles.

I stuck lose to Paul as he made us a drink and got something to eat. I had a sip and had small bites but I didn't want anything, the only thing going round in my head was;

'JOIN YOUR MOM' I was thinking about it non-stop. He sat next to me his hand on my knee.

'We can't stay here tonight, we'll stay and Sam and Emilys until I get this fixed up okay?' Paul told me I just nodded I was glad we weren't going to be staying here,

'So was that Edwards army?' I asked Paul

'That was the first wave, of 'scouts' to test the water to see what were made of and how we would react, they are all gone, I'll never let anything hurt you again, this shouldn't have happened I am so sorry' he said resting his head on my shoulder

'We'll be ready for the next wave?' I asked him braver now I didn't have to worry about seeing my Aunt and Uncle again

'Hell yeah' he said looking up at me his eyes stern

'I'll rip that mother fucker limb from limb' Paul said almost dripping venom

'Good' I said taking him in

'Are you okay?' he asked concerned suddenly

'Yeah, I'm over this, I just want him gone and all this over' I told him wincing as my shoulder struck out

'Me too' he said pulling me in for a kiss, Paul got me some pain killers.

That night we went to Sams, we just went straight upstairs, I didn't see Emily I don't think I could, I knew that I would break down, the same if I saw Seth or Sue. I just lay in the double bed, laying on Paul, he lay on his side, covering me his arms around me. I clung onto him nuzzling close to him.

'Are you going to sleep?' I asked Paul looking up at him his face stern

'How can I?' he asked looking down

'For me' I said worried about him

'Paul you need to rest, please' I said the events of today starting to play over and over, I just stayed close to Pauls chest, his heart soothing. He lent down and kissed the top of my head, I closed my eyes knowing I was safe.

I woke to the sun shining in, I stretched and moved about, I felt Pauls arms around me, I looked up Paul was on his back my leg over his, his arm around my back pulling me close, I looked over and at his peaceful face, I settled down as I didn't want to wake him up. the face of my Aunt with her haunting eyes and snapping teeth, flashed into my minds eye.
