Hey guys! Don't know if you noticed but I took another small break there! It wasn't intentional but I've just been going out with a friend or two a bit so haven't had the time, but I'm back! I can't promise the crazy fast updates again but I will try!

Anon - Thanks for reading! And Glad you're enjoying it =]

Tiffanythibedeau - Happy you're still with us, and enjoying it! Don't worry Sully and Embry make up very soon! I've been jotting down ideas for when they're friends again and I think their disagreement has went on long enough, and Sully needs her best friend there now! Embry knows he's done wrong, so things will be set straight soon! As for what Paul told her, while he did explain about the spirit warriors, he didn't say that they were true. He said it to test the waters, and Sully took it as a joke so he went along with it. She does know that Paul saved her from the cliff now and that there are big wolves roaming about but she still doesn't know/believe that it's anyone from the tribe.

SwedishFanFicitionLover - Thank you! Glad you think he's been in character! And you think he'd be kinda soft with his imprint too! Yey Pully! Glad you like how the Cullens are with Jake! I wasn't too sure how I should do that, but I figured they'd be nice to him because of Nessie, even though Esme is always nice! I'll let you in on a little secret...I didn't even know I wrote about the kiss til after! But it kind of went with how they were playing!

Laura - Glad you're enjoying it!


Sam joined Embry and Paul in the living room after he had spoke to Sully; he had gotten the details from Embry, but he needed to make sure he had every little detail if they were to catch the blood sucker. Sully had been exhausted when she was done telling Sam her story and answering all of his questions and fell asleep. Sam was about to ask Paul to do something he knew the hot head would refuse, but Paul was one of his best trackers.

"Paul, I need you to..."

"No, I'm not leaving her Sam."

"I thought you'd say that, so here's the alternative. You phase, but you keep an eye on the house. You track or you protect."

Paul did want to find the vamp and kill him for putting Sully through this, but he couldn't leave her unprotected, she had Embry but Paul had some serious issues with Embry; he knew deep down Embry didn't mean anything and he had to lean off a bit. "Fine, I'll phase. Sam I'm staying here."

Sam nodded and watched as Paul kicked off his shoes and ran outside before disappearing in the tree line. "Embry..."

"I'll do whatever Sam, but I need to talk to her."

"She's asleep."

"It can't wait."

Sam nodded, he knew just how much it was hurting Embry to be like this with her. "Alright, I'm getting in touch with the rest of the pack. Jake said he was spending the day with the Cullens, can you fill him in?"

Embry saw Sam out and was about to move on down the hall when a large grey wolf emerged from the tree's, Embry knew this was the best time to go see Sully, despite the menacing glare in Paul's eyes; had Paul been in the house Embry would not have this chance. He took a deep breath and looked away from Paul before moving on and walking to Sully's room. He crossed to the end of her bed as she began to shift in her sleep.

Embry had felt so bad; he knew that if he had just kept his mouth shut then she wouldn't have ran off, and if she didn't run off then she wouldn't have become the prey of that bloodsucker. This was all his fault, she had went through hell because of him; and when she had been found, when she'd been safe at home he was torn. He knew Paul wasn't going to let him near Sully, and Embry for a little while had been glad. And that made him sick to the stomach, he shouldn't be glad but he felt so guilty but he also wanted...no, needed to apologise. Embry was pulled from his thoughts as she stirred, rolling on her side and whimpering. Within seconds he was by her side, placing a warm hand on her shoulder and shaking her awake.

Sully opened her eyes and saw a blurry figure in front of her, she could make out two onyx, worried eyes which were focused on her and for a second she thought it was Paul, until everything came into focus. No, not Paul. This was Embry.

"Em?"

"Hey, you were having a bad dream."

Sully nodded. "Why me? Em, I wouldn't wish that upon another living person, but why me? What made me so special?"

"I don't know." Embry shifted uncomfortably."Sully? I need to talk to you."

"You're doing that already silly."

"About what you heard at garage."

"Oh."

If she was honest, she didn't want to talk about it. She want to forget about it and let things just be alright and just pretend it never happened, never think about it; She knew that couldn't happen with Embry. He had come in here to talk, to explain and it would be cruel of her to cut him off like that, so Sully would listen.

"Look, I'm so sorry about what I said. I didn't...I shouldn't have said any of it. I was angry." Embry looked at her to find she was now sat up and staring down at the quilt. "I'm sorry Sully, but you have acted like she's going to walk in and everything will be fine..."

"I know. I wasn't ready then, it was a shock."

"Ready?"

"To face facts, saying it will make it real. I have grieved and I've mourned but making it feel like she was going to come back made me forget, but it's real isn't it Embry? Mum, she's not coming back," Sully hesitated for a moment, and looked up at Embry, who watched her with careful the both knew that her next few words would have such an impact, and they wanted to be ready. It had to be the right time, she had to be ready to say it and after the whole Gareth thing, she felt she was. As for Embry, he knew that he had to be there for her this time. It would be him comforting her, not Paul. "She...she's gone. Not coming back."

"Sully?" Embry couldn't stand hearing the pain in her voice. "You don't have to..."

"I do. I need to get over this, I need to say it, to make it real. I didn't want it to be real, I didn't want to say that mum is dead. I just..." Sully cut off, realising what she had said and looked Embry dead in the eyes.

Embry reached across and pulled her into a warm hug as the tears started to flow. He held her close and she began to weep and sob. This is what a brother done right? He protected and comforted his sister? Whether that was the case or not, whether Paul came in and demanded Embry get away from her or not, Embry knew he wasn't going any where. He had almost lost her once because of his stupid ass words, he wasn't going to mess up again. She may be Paul's imprint, but she was his sister.


"Yea. Yea. She's okay? Yea, I'll explain. Okay. I'll stop by later. Yea. Bye."

Jake hung up the phone, he'd been pushing Nessie on her swing and even the bronze haired child knew something was wrong as she scraped her heels into the dirt to slow down and stop.

"Jake?" Nessie asked, "Was that about your friend? Is she okay?"

"Yea, it was about Sully. She's getting better Ness, it was a scare for her. Not all vamps are as nice as your family."

"Oh, Jake. Didn't know you cared." Edward said sarcasticly. "So, she woke up?"

"Yea. Where is everyone?"

"Esme and Carlisle are hunting with Alice. They'll be back soon."

Jake thought for a moment, it would be easier to just tell everyone together but they needed answers. The tribe was worried, he could imagine the hell Paul was going through, and Embry for that matter.

"Jake, just tell me. I'll fill everyone in."

Jacob nodded, and let loose on every detail that Embry had said. It still wasn't much but the Cullen's were well connected, perhaps one of their friends knew something. And if not they could at least keep a look out.

"Alright Jacob; I'm going to the house to tell Bella and Rosalie."

Jake watched him leave, and fell on his behind on the forest floor. He had phased since that night, but he could still feel the pain and fear of not one but two of his pack brothers; and Jake wouldn't admit it to anyone but it choked him. He was glad to feel two small, porceilan arms wrap round his neck and pull him into cuddle. Jake hugged Nessie back, his head on her shoulder and her bronze locks tickling his nose. He sniffled and the little girl squeezed him a little tighter.

"It'll be okay Jakey."

"Thanks Ness."

"Sully is special?"

"Yea, she is to Paul, what you are to me."

"Does she know about you?" Nessie asked innocently, pulling away from Jake.

"The wolf thing? Not to my knowledge. It's up to Paul to tell her."

"Oh. I think it will be okay."

"Soon. She's scared."

"But Paul will keep her safe? Like you keep me safe?"

"Yea."

"Good." Nessie smiled at him and Jake couldn't help but smile back the the girl.

"Thanks Ness."


Hey guys!

So I haven't updated in a while, and I am sorry. Laptop broke and computer is crappy. I am trying to write chapters in bulk but I thought I'd write you something for now, not sure if I'll update more soon, we'll just have to see.

Sorry this wasn't very long but it was something at least!
