Thank you all for the vies and supporting my story, love you all!

Eventually Paul started to stir, I hadn't slept very well, I kept waking up with the word about my Mom and that wild look in my Aunts eyes, keeping me awake. Every time that I woke up Paul was there, to comfort me, to talk to me and to get me back to sleep. He stirred more and more, I sat up and moved away from him, it seemed he was having a bad dream, his head moved from side to side his face was burning hot, he cried out and his eyes opened moving and sitting upwards, he felt to his side or me I wasn't there.

'Lily?' he cried out his voice sleepy

'Hey I'm here' I said softly to him he took some deep breaths and ran his hand over his face,

'It's okay' I said softly to him, moving over to his side, moving my hair behind my ear. He just pulled me towards him, putting his head against my chest and took some breath, calming himself down, I ran my hands over his head and through his soft hair, we stayed that way for a while, he was still burning hot. His hands moved down to my waist, I sat down on the bed, we were eye to eye now.

'Feel better?' I whispered to him, he cleared his throat

'Yeah' he sounded tired he pulled the neck of my hoodie down, his eyes went wide as he pulled the neck down further.

'Shit,' he said worried

'What is it?' I asked trying to pull the neck back up

'Your neck' he said not taking his eyes off of me I hurried away from him and went to the mirror, I pulled the neck down, it was a deep blue/purple

'Oh my god' I said feeling my stomach flip, I bent over and took my hoodie off so I was in my bra, I need to check my body, what if she had bitten me or scratched me, was I one of them?

I never even took a second thought that Paul was just behind me. I dropped the hoodie to the floor, there was bruising on the front part of my neck, my shoulder had swollen up I turned to check the rest of my body there was nothing else, just my neck I touched it softly, I flinched away, my breathing picking up, his was the reality, I swallowed it still hurt. I pulled my hoodie back on leaving my arm out of the arm hole, Paul was now sitting on the edge of the bed just looking at me. He looked exhausted.

I looked down, tears formed, I wasn't crying just my emotions on overload. I wiped them away with my good hand

'Oh Lil' Paul said sadly I just walked over to him straddling him and leaned against him, he wrapped his arms around me.

'Can't we just leave all of this?' I asked him he stayed silent

'We have to stay to help end all this' he said softly

There was a knock on the door, a loud growl came from Paul, something that used to scare me now made me feel secure. I pulled my hoody back on and over my neck.

'Only me' Sam said as he opened the door and walked in, he looked at us me sitting on Paul I felt him stiffen and become protective.

It was early morning, Sam must have heard Paul shout out. Pauls grip on my tightened slightly, i turned to face Sam,

'Thanks for letting us stay' I said to Sam appreciative of everything he had done for us

'No problem, Emily has made some breakfast, we are going out now, I'm dropping Em with Kim while the others go on patrol' Sam said to Paul

'okay, Cool, cheers' he said in his deep voice

'Thank Emily for us' I almost called out losing my voice halfway I covered my throat Sam just nodded

'I will' he smiled then left closing the door behind him.

We walked downstairs I was behind Paul, the kitchen smelt amazing, Emily had set it all up for us, I ate more than I thought I would, I must have been hungry, also it would have been rude not to eat what Emily had made us, Paul tucked in making sure that I was eating as well. I just sat there looking down at my plate, pushing the food around my plate after a while feeling full as Paul was loading his plate up again

'Lil?' Paul asked placing his hand on mine, my mind had drifted off, thinking and daydreaming.

'I don't feel good' I said to him in a small voice, looking over to him, worried

'Right' he said getting his phone out and held to his ear, keeping his hand around mine the whole time, giving it a soft squeeze

'Sue, it's Lil, we are at Sams, can you get here?' he said looking at me giving me a reassuring smile

'Okay, thank you' he said hanging up

'Sue will be here soon, you'll be alright' he tried to comfort me as he did so my stomach lurched feeling the bile rise up my sore throat, I stood up quick knocking the chair backwards and the water over the table, I sprinted for the toilet, I bent over as I threw the bile up, I kicked the door shut and flushed the toilet, hanging my head over the bowel, my stomach kept lurching, I spat out a few times closing my eyes. I coughed as I then threw up again, it hurt my throat almost burning it, I retched a few times, I spat out and flushed the toilet again, I could tell Paul was close by.

There was a knock on the front door, I heard Sues voice talking to Paul. I herd her knock on the bathroom door.

'Sue?' I called out she walked in and closed the door behind her.

'Oh my baby girl' she said kneeling beside me wrapping her arms around me I just lent into her, she was the closest to a Mom I had. She soothed me giving me a glass of water to rinse my mouth out with.

'Sue it was horrible, it was' I had to stop as I retched again

'I know I know' she soothed me rubbing my back

'I thought I was going to die. Alone' I said into the toilet

'Paul wouldn't let that happen' Sue reassured me I knew it was the truth

'I just feel sick' I told her shaking

'It is the shock my love' she said still rubbing my back she placed the blanket around me and tried to warm me up.

'Why us, why come after us?' I asked her just wanting answers

'Probably because it was your aunt and uncle to use against you, but you were too strong' she said not leaving my side

'that woman said about joining them and my Mom' I said spitting and rinsing my mouth, before flushing the toilet I leaned back, my stomach making noises I wiped the sweat from my brow, Sue pulled the blanket around me again, she passed me the water.

'Thank you' I looked at her kind face

'That's okay love, I'm just so sorry all this is happening' she said her eyes flicking down momentarily

'It's okay, we just need to put a stop to Edward and his army' I looked at her

'That's my strong girl' Sue said placing a kiss on my head before standing up

'Sue?' I asked

'Yes?' he looked around

'Don't let Paul in' I said she pulled her lips tight

'I'll try' she sighed and slipped out of the room. I tried to gather myself together I heard Sue talking to Paul who was raising his voice, I stood up and placed my hand out to balance myself, I closed my eyes and took a breath, I checked my refection I washed my face and dried my face, I hadn't made any mess, I opened the door, my face pale. I looked Paul was talking to Sam at the front door Quill was there as well.

Quill looked at me, his eyebrows bunched together before he glanced away then looked me up and down, his face dropping, Paul turned and saw me a looked flashed across his face, I gave him a weak smile and started to head upstairs slowly.

I undressed slowly, I looked at my neck and my shoulder, he would pay for this, I was like this because of that bastard, the curtains were drawn, there was an en-suit I dropped my clothes to the floor and went to the shower, I sat down in the bath tub letting the shower run over my body and my hair, I pulled my legs up and hugged my knees. I just sat there for a while.

'Lil?' Paul said he was at the bathroom door

'Hey' I said to him the water hitting my back

'Can I come in?' he asked still at the door

'Yeah, I'm sorry' I said letting the water run over my shoulders

'Hey Hon, how you feeling?' he asked kneeling on the other side of the bathtub

'Better than before, but still horrid' I said truthfully

'Can I do anything?' he asked

'No you've done so much for me' I said to him leaning my head back feeling the warmth cover my face, Paul stayed where he was chatting to me for a little bit, after a while he stripped off to his pants and rubbed the shower jell all over my back and massaged my body, making me feel so much more relaxed.

I stood up and shut the shower off he had stayed silent for a while, Paul had got out a few minuets before I had stood up, I peered around to see where the towel was and if he was there, he was leaning against the door frame, the towel hanging up, I reached out to try and get it, it was too far away. Paul was looking out the window, I stepped out quickly, and grabbed the towel covering myself quickly. I shivered feeling cold. Paul looked at me, he still looked so sad. He was keeping something from me, I walked over to him to pass him. I went and found some warm clothes to change into, I got my blow drier I pugged it in and used my good arm to start drying my hair, Paul still just stood there watching me. I continued to dry my hair, I wanted to put my clothes on.

'Fuck it' I muttered under my breath and dropped the towel which was slipping and sliding as I tried to keep it covering my body up, pulling my pants on, my back to Paul, I pulled my sports bra on slowly I felt his warm hands help pull the back down, I thanked him as he helped me when I needed it holding my arm softly. I looked around at Paul, he was now standing ready to move by the looks of it. He still looked so sleepy, I walked over to him and snaked my arms around him as he pulled me closer to him, I just felt ready to get revenge and put a stop to all this.

I looked up at him,

'What's going on?' I asked him scrunching my face together

'Sam he has seen the Cullens and it's just shit' he said looking down at me

'Talk to me' I said he placed his hand on my bad shoulder softly

'Is it hurting?' he asked I nodded, he didn't look happy

'I'll go home and get your pain killers' he said suddenly

'Don't leave me' I said quickly grabbing on to him,

'I wouldn't' he said kissing the top of my head.

Paul led me to his truck we drove to his, he was on high alert he phased when he got out of his truck, Paul was magnificent, he padded over to me I stuck close to him, he was sniffing constantly and his ears were swivelling around we went into the house Paul stood by the door while I went in and got my pain killers, the images of last night flashed in my mind, I pushed them down, I grabbed the tablets and walked back to Paul, running my hands along his soft fur as I walked beside him, he was rigid, I just stood near his shoulder my hand on his body, deep under his fur, the painkillers in my hand I had already taken a couple. I just stood still beside him, my stomach flipping. I looked around, I couldn't see or hear anything, I glanced back into the house, still and silent, I moved my fingers against Paul. He took a deep breath and relaxed he looked back at me as we then walked back to the truck. He phased back and drove us back to Sams, he held my hand all the way back. Emily was there when I got back, she just looked at me lost for words, she brushed a tear away as it fell.

'Oh EM' I said moved by her reaction I took her in my arms, gritting my teeth as the pain throbbed in my shoulder

'I'm so sorry you poor thing' Emily said I could hear how sad she was I held her tighter

'It's okay, we are all okay, we'll put an end to all this okay?' I told her feeling as though I was in control, and in charge almost the most mature.

Emily wiped her face dry, Paul put his arm around me

'Look at you two' Emily said clasping her hands to her chest I just rolled my eyes at her and smiled

'You are the soppiest' I teased her Emily was cooking some dinner for us, I was feeling hungry now, I glanced up at Paul as he gave me a wink.

Paul and I sat on the sofa the T.V on in the background

'So what's happening then?' I asked I had my legs over his he looked at me and sat up properly, resting his hands on my legs,

'Well, the Cullens want to work with us, the Cullens would never come on our land, or change a human let alone both, they need to put a stop to Edward, he is already out of control, this means that we will be training with them' Paul said turning his nose up at the though of it.

'That's good though they have a chance to stop him with the pack behind them' I said feeling confident Paul didn't seem too sure about it all

'Did Bella go and see them?' I asked him running my fingers over his hands

'No Jake asked and she seemed too scared' Paul said looking pissed off.

'Oh, well you can't force her' I said softly looking back as the T.V as I asked a few more questions

Paul got up to get us some drinks, Sam came back and took Paul away to talk, I helped Emily set up the table, we chatted but it was different at the moment. She started t dish up the food, I helped her wash up, she seemed so sad, Emily went to go and sit down.

'Em, what's going on' I asked her getting worried

'Nothing' she gave me a fake smile

'It isn't, everyone seems to be acting cautious' I told her, I needed her to be real with me.

'I better get the guys' she said avoiding the questions

'Em' I called out to her, she paused for a second

'Please EM' I asked her walking towards her, she turned more tears spilling down her face, she tried to wipe them away.

'Oh my gosh' I pulled her into a hug as she started to sob onto my shoulder

'Hey, Hey, come on now' I whispered to her trying to sooth Emily, she was trying to talk but I couldn't make out what she was trying to tell me. I just softly rocked her holding her close, I didn't want Em to be sad, who had upset her.

'Talk to me' I said to her she sniffed and stood up wiping her face taking some deep breathes, I got a tissue from the counter and passed it to her. She wiped her eyes and blew her nose

'Sorry, just I feel so sad about what you've gone through, it is so unfair' she said blowing her nose again

'You silly goose you, I have never known anybody, so kind hearted' I said rapping my arms around her again.

'I'm okay my sweet, I just want to end that mother fucker, okay? It's all okay I promise I've got the pack and you and all my loving family' I told her softly trying to get Emily to settle, Sam came back into the room, with Paul behind him, when Sam saw Emily he rushed over to her side as quickly as possible.

'Babe?' he said to her a few times, yet Emily didn't respond

'Em?' I asked

'Sam you have to tell Lily' Emily said as she left my arms and clung on to him, one hand on the back of her head, as Sam comforted Emily, I just gave Sam a worried look, and looked to see where Paul was standing, he was staring at Sam hard, and shaking his head

'Tell me what?' I asked into the silent room

'EM?' I asked getting scared, she just looked up at Sam.

'Paul?' I asked he would tell me surly, he just glanced away from me. I started to feel angry what were they keeping from me.

We all just stood there, my phone buzzed, I pulled it out it was Seth, I answered it and held it to my ear

'Hey' I said shooting Paul a harsh look and turning my back on them all

'Hey Lil, are you free, I'm outside' Seth said

'Sure' I said and hung up the phone I just walked out. They all called me back I just carried on walking out.

'Wait, Lily' Paul called I looked over my shoulder at him and carried on walking, I opened the door, Seth was standing there, he walked over and met me half way.

'You alright?' I asked him giving him a small smile

'Yeah, I just wanted to see you, I've missed you and been worried about you' Seth said shuffling his feet

'I've missed you too' I said nudging into him

'Really?' he asked almost surprised

'Yeah iIve missed having someone to make fun of' I said he threw his head back and laughed

'Thanks' he said and placed his arm around my shoulder

'So what are you doing around this way?' I asked him

'Well, on patrol, if Sam caught me he'd kill me' Seth peered into the house

'Well, I'm glad you came to see me' I said turning to him and gave him a hug

'I'll always be worried about you' he said I closed my eyes. He let go and gave me a wave before jogging back into the woods. I watched him leave.

I turned to go back into the house, I heard a yelp, it was Seth, his wolf yelped, I turned

'Seth?' I called out, I heard the front door bang open, Paul was running, so I was I, I was heading in the same direction Seth had run, my shoes hitting the floor hard.

'SETH!?' I called out again, I entered the woods I heard another yelp. I heard the growl behind me from Paul, in a small clearing I could see Seth, I saw Edward.

'BABY!' he cried out when he saw me the sound from Paul gave me chills Seth was just lying on the floor.

'What did you do?' I asked him not taking my eyes from Seth, I felt Paul behind me, his hackles up

'How is your shoulder?' he asked me

'WHAT DID YOU DO?' I asked him again

'Your pet mut doesn't think much of you being here' he told me staring at Paul with a wicked smile on his face as he searched his mind

'Tut, tut, tut, they are not nice thoughts about a lovely lady like Lily' he said glancing at me my face still hard, I wouldn't let this roach get to me, I was Safe while Paul was here, Edward was on the tribe land

'Let Seth go' I said to him

'Say please' Edward said lapping up the power he had

'Let him go' I said moving closer to Edward. Paul let his thoughts known. The look in Seths eyes was pure fear.

'Why run around over pathetic strays like this when you can join my army?' he asked his face turning to me, all his attention on me.

'You wonder why Bell left you,' I said with a small laugh hoping to get into his head.

'Bella never loved me, it was a waste of time' he said dismissively, I felt sorry for Bell, Jake had told me how much she loved Edward and he never really responded to it.

'What are you doing here?' I asked him

'I came to see how you are baby' he said in a sweet tone

'Don't call me that. Leave me alone, you are a disgrace' I told him moving back to Paul

'Baby, show some respect' Edward said moving closer to me Paul rumbled behind me.

'Your dad was right about you' Edward said with a chuckle

'Shut the fuck up' I shouted at him

'Baby' he said that was enough I lunged for him shouting he just stood there I pushed into his chest hard with both hands, he fell to the floor Paul stood over him snapping in his face

'You, don't deserve her' Edward said punching Paul sending him backwards

'What do you want? why are you here?' I said moving over to Edward we were eyes to Eye, Seth was snarling now, still on the floor

'Lily, you belong to me, to our army, you're powerful' he said reaching, touching my face, Paul was losing it I held my hand up to him keeping him where he was, he was just making a lot of noise, I flinched from his touch.

'I'll have you one day' he smirked and zoomed off in a flash. I ran over to Seth, I fell to my knees looking him over, he phased, he was breathing heavy.

'Shit, Seth are you okay?' I asked him looking him over

'Yeah I'm okay' he said sitting up slowly, I helped him up Paul was still standing there, hackles up, snarling drool dripping room his muzzle.

'Come on' said to Seth and helped him to Emilys as I passed Paul, I kissed his muzzle near his cheek I hand his arm over my shoulder, Sam was out Emily took Seth in and sat him down, getting some things out of a box, it seemed that she was used to this. Before Emily got back I was out of the door again, Paul was standing there calmer this time, I ran my hand along his fur, I went around to his face.

'Hey' I said running my hands over his fury face his eyes moved to mine, I felt my chest pull towards him.

'Please phase' I asked him he just held my gaze he phased I looked up at him, he was still rigid from being so angry his fists clenched hard, his jaw clenched.

'Paul?' I said to him he looked down, I placed my hand on his cheek pulling his down, I placed a kiss on his lips, then another, I looked his eyes were now closed, I ran my hand up the back of his neck, the other pulling him closer to me, his arm came around my waist his hand holding onto my waist tightly, his hand came onto my cheek, as he deepened the kiss, I let the warmth take me away, I felt his tongue run along my lip, I opened my mouth out tongues running over each others, our breathing picking up, he was holding me tighter and tighter. We broke apart his eyes were squeezed tight,

'Paul?' I said slightly out of breath

'I- I can't I-' Paul stuttered his deep voice making me beg for more of his attention

'Go, go after him' I said understanding his frustration his eye opened, they were almost black I just looked up at him.

'Go in and stay near the pack' He told me kissing the top of my head

'Be careful' I said my chest hurting

I watched as he phased and ran of to get Edward. I went back to the house, Seth and Sam were chatting Emily was looking out of the kitchen window.

'Lily!' Seth almost cried out and ran over to me

'Are you okay?' I asked him he just nodded

'Good job we have EM' said looking as she blushed I smiled at her and looked at Seth

'Where's Paul?' Sam asked

'Gone after Edward' I told him pointing behind me, Sam just nodded a worried look flashed across his face it vanished as fast as it appeared.

'Lily' Sam said I looked as he motioned for me to go with him, I just followed him, after Emily passed me a hot drink I thanked her, Sam lead me into a back room, it was more of an office, papers on the desk some chairs around the room, he sat down near the window, I sat opposite him sipping my drink, holding it close to me keeping me warm. Sam had aged before his years, he looked rough, tired, the stress he must be under as Alpha was taking it's toll. He looked up, a look i his eyes that gave me goose bumps.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy new Year! Let the games begin!
