Hey guys!

tiffanythibedeau - I'm glad you're enjoying the series! And that you don't mind the constant changing; I was trying to get the whole different point of view thing without just sticking to the 1st person from one character.

SwedishFanFictionLover - Yup, did ever have any doubt that they would? And yea, Gareth is a bit of a creep; even as I was writing him I found myself disliking him. We'll have to see when she wakes up.

Alright so this like a lot of the previous chapters will go back and forth between characters. Just to make things clear when everything is in italics it's a memory, and if its not then it's the pack talking as wolves. I'm sure you've caught on but I just thought I'd make sure.

Disclaimer that I own nothing but my OCs


Tiffany, Sue and Emily stood at the front door with Leah and Embry. When Leah had explained where they had found her, they realised that they would not be coming from the woods behind the house; so Embry stood with his mom, they held each other. They were so worried about Sully, Sue stood with Leah and Emily. Emily held the patchwork quilt she had made for Sully, from what Leah had said to in confidence, away from Tiffany, she was going to be cold. Leah perked up slightly, shouting as she saw Seth run towards them, Jared and Sam close behind with Paul behind them. This was a sight to be seen, Paul held Sully bridal style. Sully was shivering and had her hands resting on her stomach, close to Paul's body. She drank in the heat radiating from his body, Sam had said she was not conscious, she may hear things, see things; but she wasn't altogether there right now.

Paul moved closer, bypassing Emily and the blanket and Tiffany moved out of his way. Paul walked through the house to her room again for the second time in days. He placed her on her bed, he was aware that Tiffany had came in behind him and shut the door. Paul had Sully so she was sitting up and leaning against him, his heat drew her in closer. Tiffany stood at the bottom of Sully's bed and watched as Paul took off her shoes and threw them to the floor. Next were her socks, her hoodie, her top and her jeans. Tiffany knew how Paul was before the imprint and for a second was angry that he held Sully so close as she wore so little. Paul turned his head a little,

"Does she have...a jumper? Or...whatever chicks where to bed?"

Tiffany walked over to the other side of the bed and picked up a large football top. On the back was 'Call' and the number 17; it was Embry's top and at first Paul wasn't happy about allowing Sully to wear it, until he had it in his hands, it didn't smell like Embry, it was Sully. It was just Sully, Paul put the large top on her. Tiffany didn't have any pants for her, so Paul lay her down. He brushed her damp hair away from her face, and pulled the blankets over her. Tiffany walked over to the door, now that Sully was covered. And the pack entered along with Sue and Emily.

"You're not going near her."

Paul growled at Embry who had tried to move closer to Sully.

"Paul, man...come on...I..."

"Did you not hear me?" Paul looked viscous, as he moved closer to Sully. One of her hands curled around his wrist, keeping him close. "You. Are. Not. Going. Near. Her."

"Leave her for now Embry," Sam said, "You can see her tomorrow."

"No." Everyone turned to Paul. " You're not coming near her until she says it's fine. I want to hear the words from her mouth, then you can see her." Paul said possessively, before he turned to Tiffany, "Is it okay with you, if I stay with her Ms Call?"

Tiffany, who was still in shock by all this, nodded. She walked out of the room in shock, taking Embry with her. Sam and Emily waited in the living room with Seth and Leah; Leah left the group and phased. Although she still hated to admit it, Sam was right. Whatever Jake found, Tiffany did not need to hear it. They would talk at Jake's tomorrow, if anything, Sam wanted Billy's counsel on this.


When Paul woke up again the sun was beaming through the curtains; for a moment he was confused, this wasn't his room. Then he smelt her and looking down she was right where she was last night, Paul realised it had only been a few hours since he lay down with her. Paul looked down at her sleeping form as Sully groaned in her sleep, and turned onto her side, rolling closer to him. Her hair was still slightly damp and in all the commotion of the night no one had thought to check her injuries. The thought had never even occurred to Paul, he had just been so glad to have found her but now looking down at her and seeing the scratches on her arms, he could feel himself getting angry, he shook.

"No...p-please..."

Paul stopped, at first he had thought she was talking to him and then he realised she was still asleep. She was reliving the night in her sleep, where Paul couldn't help her, where he had no power and could only watch as her peaceful sleeping face changed, and he saw her fear.

"Leave me alone..."

"Shhhh...shhh...it's alright. I'm here"

Paul couldn't stand to hear her scared little voice; it made him both sad and angry. All Paul wanted to do was make these nightmares away, he hadn't made the blood sucker go away, and although Paul was the one to get her off the cliff, he felt like he'd failed her. He hadn't made the vampire run, he arrived after that.

Jake had took Quil, Brady and Collin after the vampire. Embry and Leah had ran off to alert everyone that sully was fine; that left Sam, Jared, Seth and Paul by the cliff edge. Jared was on his knee's trying to guess how far down she, it looked like could just jump down, but it didn't look like the out cropping was very stable. Sam was trying to figure something out between the four of them. He could send Seth back for rope or..

"Paul!"

Sam almost didn't want to turn back to the cliff side as he heard Jared call out but he did. Paul was no longer on the cliff, and as Sam came closer to the cliff edge and saw the Paul had jumped down onto the outcropping, he sighed and knelt down. Paul checked she was okay to move, that was one thing that was good about having a nurse as a mother. When he knew it would be okay, and heard the slight crumbling of rocks, Paul knew he had to get her off this before the whole thing went. Paul lifted her, making himself as tall as he could be to life her up as Jared and Sam lay as low as they could on the ledge ; it took a few go's before they caught hold of her and pulled Sully up. Sam lay her down and Seth moved over her, the mud and rain had made things difficult.

"Sam , Jared...pull me up!"

The two boys leant down again and Paul jumped up; they caught him as the outcropping fell from beneath him. They heard the splash and pulled him onto the ledge. Sam watched as the second Paul was on the cliff edge he started to move towards Sully. Seth moved to the other side of her and wiped her hair out of her face, Paul looked down at her. She was still unconscious and now he wasn't sure what to do. He thought for a second to phase back into a wolf and have one of the boys put her on top of him and he would run the Call house, but he had seen the fear in her eyes as Brady and Collin had attacked the vampire. Paul had glanced at Seth as he scooped Sully up and turned back Sam and Jared. They didn't need to hear his thoughts, and they all took off running to the house. Throughout the whole run, Sam and Jared and even Seth at one point had offered to carry Sully, but Paul wasn't going to let go.

Now as Paul looked down at Sully, who huddled into him, he wondered if the two wolves had scared her. It wasn't fair that things were happening this way. And he hoped that she wasn't scared of them, but if there was one thing he knew it was that he wasn't going to let her out of his sight as long as this blood sucker was about.


"So? What happened?"

"We tried to follow the vampire, but the storm made it difficult. We lost his trail not long after leaving you guys, so we did a perimter runs for the rest of the night to make sure."

"Nothing?"

"It's wet, the rain washed away any scent there was."

"So now what?"

"I don't know Sam. I was thinking...maybe I could go to the Cullens. Ask them about the vamp, they might know him?"

"Oh, how nice. They have a friend visiting." Jared said.

"That's not what I meant." Jake defended himself. "I just mean that between them they know a lot of vamps, one of them might have run into him once upon a time and they might be able to tell us about what we're dealing with."

"Makes sense." Sam pondered, "Alright Jake. Go, now."

Jake nodded at the group and then at his father before leaving to go to the Cullens. Sam sat down on the porch close to where Billy had his wheelchair pulled up, the rest of the pack watched their alpha. Sam was under a lot of pressure, it had been a while since they had had any vamp activity and suddenly one appeared and attacked an imprint.

"How is she Sam?" Billy asked.

"She was still sleeping when I left." Embry answered, "Paul's with her. He refuses to leave her."

"I don't blame him." Jared said.

"I don't think she'll wake up for a while," Sam said. "She's been through a lot, she saw Brady and Collin as wolves Billy."

"It'll be okay, when she wakes go and ask her what happened. Don't you say anything about the two though, see if she mentions it."

"I don't want to bother Ms Call."

"You don't have to. Mom said she couldn't get time off work. Me or Paul have to call Sue when she wakes up so Sue can check her over." Embry explained, "I'll call you when Sue gives the all clear.

"Right."

"Look...I gotta go. Paul's with her but I..."

"Go. It's fine Embry."

Embry left and little by little the whole pack left, leaving Sam sat with Billy.

"I don't know what to do."

"You lead. You told me everything, Paul, for once, had a point. What would you have done if it was Emily? Don't treat if differently. Sully isn't a part of the tribe but she is a part of this family. Now she's Tiffany's daughter, she's Embry's sister and now she's Paul's imprint. She is a part of this family, like Emily and Kim, like Claire and like Nessie. Do not think it is different, because it's not."

Sam thought over Billy's words, he knew he was right. Sully was their family now, she was his family; and he protected his family, the whole pack was. He had to go about this like it was Emily. If Emily was in danger, in reality she was. There was a vampire out there, but his prey was Sully. And from what Sam had seen vampire's would stalk their prey until they took them down. Sully was still in danger; but for now, Sam just wanted to make sure Emily was safe.


Sully's eyes fluttered open, she felt warm and was surprised to see Paul lay so close to her. Her slight head movement caught his attention, he gave her a small smile as he saw she was awake.

"Hey sleepy head," Paul said softly, playing with her pink strand of hair. "How are you feeling?"

"Honestly?" Sully answered in a quiet voice. Paul nodded before she continued. "I feel kind of hungover."

Paul laughed, "Pretty sure you're not even legal to drink yet."

"Bet it never stopped you."

"Fair enough." Paul smiled. "Do you remember anything?"

"Can I have some water?"

Paul stood, and after making sure she was perfectly fine at least five times, he went and fetched a glass and a large jug of cold water. After a few cups of water, and pumping her pillows up so she could sit up, Paul sat on her bed again.

"You okay?"

Sully nodded, and rubbed her arms, "I'm cold. Could-"

"I'll get you another blanket."

"No...could you sit beside me again?"

Paul nodded and sat beside her, wrapping his arm around her. "So?"

"I...uh...what were we talking about?"

"I asked if you remembered anything."

"Oh...there was a guy...and..." Sully could remember but, "It's a long story."

"I've got time."


There you are! I think this is the longest chapter so far. The next chapter will be mostly Paul and Sully, but with Sully filling Paul in on the blanks, so there will be a few repetitions of the flashbacks you got of Sully before or Jake's visit to the Cullens, or both lol. I'll have to see, but it will be another long chapter!

Hope you're all enjoying this so far =] And yey we had some more Paul/Sully fluffness in this chapter =] yey! Can't say you don't like the fluff and looks like Sam is starting to feel the pressure, but at least he's getting a little help from Billy.

Review guys!
