Warning: This is a yaoi story which means there will be guy on guy, but beyond that there may be violence, rape, or anything else along those lines. I'm not completely sure yet, but I will put in the summary for the chapter if there will be rape, violence and what not. If you don't like anything like that, you probably shouldn't read this story. Although, I assume that if you are looking at this, then you will most likely not mind any of that.

Jacob's P.O.V.
I don't really know how long I hesitated behind Edward just outside of the camp site, or at least were we assumed that they camped out. Not only did I feel slightly guilty about what Edward and I had done just a little while before, but I felt guilty because I had been the one to cause Edward to become a human again. It was weird to think that Edward was human, but it was what happened and I didn't know how to change it.
Sighing to myself I finally forced myself to walk over to the clearing, where three tents were set up just like they had been a few nights ago. Although, this time, they were huddled close together and one had a bunch of chairs surrounding it. No one was outside, but we knew that they knew we were here. There must have been something really bad happening and then I remembered what the dragon had told us when it had come back.
"Why no dear. They put up a mighty fight. I was only to harm one. I believe her name was Emily something or other. She stopped me from killed one of those wolves. Foolish girl. She should know that wolves don't make good pets."
Her voice rang in my head and I looked at Edward then at the tent. He nodded, and motioned for me to go. I instantly ran into the tent and straight through the crowd of people. There, lying on a few sleeping bags was Emily, broken and bleeding. Her eyes were closed, but I knew that she was in pain, simply by the expression on her gentle face. Her skin was way too pale and she was clutching Sam's hand. He looked like he had been through hell and back. His cheeks were stained with tears, his back was curved so that he was hunched over Emily, he looked sick, and he was shaking, not violently, but enough that I was a little concerned that everyone in this tent was in danger.
Not really caring that ten other people were in the tent I sat down next to Emily and grabbed her free hand. Her hand was as cold as any vampire and it frightened me. She would need blood put in her along with some stitches. Although we had a doctor with us, there was nothing he could do for her. He had no stitches and these wounds were so deep that the clothes they had tied over her wounds to slow the bleeding didn't seem to help.
I glanced up at everyone that was standing, which was everyone besides Sam, Emily, and I, and motioned for them to leave the tent. At first they just stared at me, but after a few seconds, they left the tent, head hung and eyes hungry, or at least the vampires looked hungry.
"Sam, I'm sorry. We didn't tell her where anyone was. She must have followed our sent. I'm sorry." I pleaded, shifting so that I was sitting next to him. I didn't get an answer. Sam just sat there, starring down at Emily with sad eyes. "Sam." I didn't know what to say. All of this was my fault and there wasn't shit I could do about it.
Gritting my teeth I got to my feet, placing a hand on Sam's shoulder. This time, he looked up at me, but the smile he tried to force onto his face simply brought more tears to his tired and sad eyes. It made me want to wrap my arms around him as if he were a child and comfort him, but I knew better. He would simply bark at me to get the hell away so I just patted his back and looked down at Emily. When she let out a shaky breath, both Sam and I moved forward, wondering if she had woken from her sleep. She hadn't so we both let out a sigh of relief. Yes he wanted her awake, but there would be less pain if she slept.
"I'll be back in a second Sam. Lay down next to her and keep her warm. She is as cold as ice." Sam didn't move, but I knew he would once I left so I quickly left the tent, letting Sam be alone with the women he loved.
Outside everyone was starring at Edward, not moving, probably not even breathing. They didn't look shocked, but they didn't look pleased. I wanted to go jump of a cliff that was over a mile high so that I would die and not cause anything like this again.
"Carlisle, we need to get Emily home. Do you think we can move her?" I asked, looked at Edward's step-father, hoping we could.
"We could, but it might be more harmful the helpful. Her wounds are deep and if we move her, we might make what part of the wounds that have closed open once again and cause her to bleed to death, but I do agree with you when you say we need to get her home. I don't know how to get her there though." His voice was full of sorrow and his eyes were just as sorrowful. He thought she was going to die, they all did. I didn't want to let her die. We had to find a way to get her home.
I looked at Edward with a pleading look and I watched him let out a deep sigh. As he came to me I realized he too thought it was hopeless. They all did. I almost collapsed, when I realized that they were all in there probably to say good-bye to her.
Edward's arms wrapped around me and I instantly clung to him, not caring anymore, what anyone else thought, what Bella thought. She would have found out eventually, might as well get it out of the way. Although she didn't seem too noticed because she was talking to Jasper, probably trying to calm down.
Sighing, I rested my head on his shoulder. It wasn't until that moment that I realized that I had started to cry. Emily may not have been the girl I had imprinted on, but I had loved her like a sister. She always took care of me and now that she was dieing in that tent I found out how much she meant to the pack. She took care of us and did whatever she could to keep us in line.
All of a sudden we were a scream and I swear that everyone jumped. Both Seth and I knew who it was and we ran back into the tent to find Sam on the ground, now bleeding heavily. Emily was in the corner on all fours, her eyes a bright gold, her body tense and arched in a way that looked like she was possessed, her teeth were bared, showing all of her teeth that were sharpened to a point, her skin still pale and sickly looking, but there was something else different that I couldn't quite put on my finger on, and there was blood, dripping from her lips onto the floor and onto her arms.
"Get Sam out of here." I ordered Seth.
"O-Okay." As Seth made his way to a withering Sam, I positioned myself so that I was between the two members of my pack and Emily, who was now hissing at me. Her eyes reminded me instantly of a snakes eyes and it almost hypnotized me. I took a step towards her, unable to stop myself until Seth screamed at me. "Jacob, let's go!" I shook my head and glanced at him. He was by the door, Seth slung over his shoulder. I didn't hesitate when I bolted out of the tent after him. Although I didn't follow him very far. Right now, I had to keep Emily from coming out of the tent.
"Change of plans." I hollered at everyone.
"What?" Emmett said, looking at me, panic in his eyes. Everyone else was looking at me the same way, except Edward, who looked calm and collected. Damn he was good actor.
"We need to get out of here, now. Forget all of the stuff."
"Forget our stuff?!" Rosalie shrieked.
"Yes princess, forget our stuff." I sneered.
"Hell no. I am not leaving any of my things in the middle of the forests!"
I looked over my shoulder at the tent. I could hear Emily moving around in the tent, but because the door was mostly closed I couldn't see what she was doing.
"Rose, you have to leave it." This time Alice was talking. Her body was shaking and her eyes were filled with fear. "If we don't leave most of us will die."
"But…"
"Rose!" Everyone yelled together. This time she gave in and nodded her head.
"Humans' go first, along with Seth and Sam since he is hurt. Vampires, since you are the strongest you go behind them. I'll follow behind and if I have to, distract Emily." I could see both Edward and Bella try to protest, but I knew neither of them had a better idea. "Go!" I screamed.
Carlisle didn't hesitate, he ushered everyone out of the camp site, towards home. Although, I started to think and I quickly ran in front of them, waving my arms.
"Emmet please carry Sam, Seth shift into a wolf, Carlisle please carry Edward, and Jasper please carry Bella. We need to get out of here as soon as possible and this is the quickest way." Once again Carlisle didn't hesitate; he picked up Edward and began to run. Emmet followed him, taking Sam from Seth's hold. Jasper waited for me to move out of his way before be and the three girl vampires took off. Bella hadn't really gotten herself ready because I heard her shriek as Jasper picked her up and ran off. Seth on the other hand did hesitate.
"I'm going to stay here with you Jacob. Give them a little bit of a head start. We can catch up later." Seth whined, not moving from my side.
I looked at him and gave him a smile. I wanted to tell him to go away, but I knew better. He wouldn't listen to me. He never did.
"Fine, but promise me one thing."
"What?"
"If things turn out to be in her favor, run to catch up with the others. I want you to be able to protect them"
Seth hesitated before nodding his head. "Fine."
With that I took of my pants and threw them over a branch. Then, with one glance towards where everyone was going I shifted.
That's when I heard her. The song she was singing was sweat and innocent, but the words were not to the song itself was horrible. The tone was eerie and it made me shudder. Glancing at Seth, who had also shifted, I motioned my head towards the tent. Emily was on her way out of the tent. The only way I knew that was what was happening was because her singing was slowly getting louder.
Run and Run
All day
Killing you is so much fun
Rip and rip
Your heads will roll
Listen to the crack of my whip
Death and die
Bleeding out
Watch all of your friends cry
Listen well
You will not live
Now let's see how far you fell
Run and Run
All Day
Killing you is so much fun
Once the last word was out of her mouth, she came out of the tent, her eyes wide and her lips curled up in a wide smile that made her look completely and utterly insane. The laugh that escaped her lips was something straight out of a horror movie and it made me take an involuntary step back.
"Oh Jakey, where did everyone go?" She asked, her head tilting to the side. I didn't do anything, but Seth let out a low, threatening growl that just earned a giggle from Emily. "Now now, be nice."
'Seth, stay behind me ok? I don't know what she is capable of, but if she is anything like the girl that did this to her then we are all screwed.'
'What? How can that be? You got away didn't you? That means that you can beat her. Just tell me what to do.'
'Seth, you dumb ass, that was different. She was full blood dragon. She had a child and she was trying to protect it at the time when we got free. This time, there is no child and this time the girl has completely lost her mind!'
'Oh shit.' our conversation came to an end when Emily laughed again, moving over to us quickly.
"So boys, what are we going to do? Dance around?" As she spoke she twirled around, giving me a perfect chance to tackle her. I didn't think about it, I simply lunged at her, hitting her square in the back. She fell to the ground, but she laughed instead of screaming like a normal person.
I growled and closed my mouth quickly next to her ear, hoping that it would scare her. Sadly, it didn't. She once again laughed.
"Jakey, that's not fair!" She squealed, pushing me off with just a flick of her wrist. I whined when I hit a tree hard, making my head snap back. Seth came to my side and pushed my head with his muzzle.
'I'm fine.' I muttered, forcing myself to my feet. Seth didn't say anything, just looked over at Emily with a pleading look. It didn't faze her. She simply smiled and brushed herself off. I didn't want to hurt her because I could see that she was still bleeding from her other wounds, but I knew that it was either her or us. I thought of Sam, but then I thought about Emily's song. If I let her live then everyone would die and I knew Sam well enough to know that no matter how much loved Emily, he would rather kill her then let everyone die.
'Seth, I need you to distract her. I'll have to at least wound her. Once she is done, run like hell. I'll be following.'
'Right.' With that, Seth ran forward, throwing himself against her. She hadn't expected him to charge, or at least it seemed that way, because she stumbled back and gasped. When he ran towards the opposite way, she turned to look at him, a confused expression on her face.
I didn't let myself hesitate; I jumped on her again, only this time I bit down hard on her shoulder, earning a shriek form her. It was loud and it hurt my ears, and it probably made them start bleeding, but I didn't let her go. I didn't bite down harder; I just made sure that Seth was running.
'Seth!'
'I'm running I'm running! Get your butt over here with me!'
'Are you running towards home?'
'No dumb shit, I'm running the other way. Of course I'm running home!'
'Well, go faster!'
'I'm running as god damn fast as I can!'
'It's not fast enough!'
Cutting off the conversation, I let go of Emily and started to run towards home as well, but I didn't get very far. A large shape came in front of me, making me skid to a stop.
It wasn't until a few seconds pasted that I realized a large dragon was in front of me, blocking my way home. Its pure white scales stood out against the dark forest, but its dark wings and eyes matched perfectly. Clothe shreds hung from different places on the clean scales, telling me who this was.
Emily had just changed into a god damn dragon. This was not good. Not good at all. Just as I turned to run the other way, Seth's thoughts came into my mind.
'Jacob, I'm coming back to help you!'
'Like hell you are! Run home! What did I make your promise me?!'
'But Jacob…'
'Seth, do as you are told! Run home!'
Seth was quite for a moment before I heard him say something again.
'You better come back home in one piece.'
'I will, now hurry your ass home!'
The conversation was over and I knew that it was probably the last thing I would ever say to Seth. Emily was over my head now, and she was a lot faster then I was. The only hope that I had of surviving was if Emily bled to death and I didn't see any wounds on her anymore. The chances of her bleeding to death were slim. Actually, there was no chance, but I had to think that there was for Seth's sake. I could hear him whimper and I knew that he was still in my thoughts.
'I'm sorry Seth. Please take care of Edward.'
With that, I started running, not for my life, but to get the dragon further away from my friends. I was now running to my death.

Alright, here is chapter nine. I hope you liked it! I kind of strayed from my original plot, but I have so many more ideas this way so sorry if you are getting annoyed with me. I'm just kind of going every which way with this. Oh well, if you don't like it you shouldn't be reading it, but if you don't like it; please tell me why you don't like it. I won't be mad or anything, I just wanna know what you think it's bad or weird or whatever. Well, I guess that's all I really have to say. Please review! - Nikki
