A/N: I was gone for so long, but what can I say-a girl is busy this time of year. So the story is winding to a close, I know, muffled tears, but guess what that means? An epic fight/battle scene where they fight the newborns. Spoiler alert, too late?

I was invisible. I was invisible. No matter how many times I said the words, they just weren't registering. Damit! I'm invisible!

"Gotta see it to believe it," I muttered to myself. I shoved my feet into my muddy shoes and fixed the jeans and t-shirt I was wearing. Someone must have changed me. A blush spread across my cheekbones and I banished it away, just add it to the list of things to be embarrassed about.

The door squealed open, "Tess?" Jake smiled at me that stupid smile that made me want to kiss him and punch him at the same time. Talk about complicated relationship.

"Yeah, I was just," I groped for a word that suited my feelings, "coping. With everything, you know? It seems like everything just hit at once. When it rains it pours, but this my friend was a monsoon."

He chuckled and closed the space between us, "I was stupid."

I nod, "Yes you were."

"I was insensitive," Jake whispers leaning his forehead against mine.

I laughed and it filled the air happily like oxygen, "That too."

"But," he stopped and cupped my face with his hands, "I love you indefinably and you scared the crap out of me. I thought you had died and it was all my fault. I don't know what I would do without you."

Hope filled my chest, "Say it again," I requested then added on, "please."

Confusion passed through his eyes, "I don't know what I would do without you? It is true you know."

"I know, but the first part. Again please," I said. I love him, I love him, my heart sang. He loves you back, I told you so.

Jake grinned and kissed my lightly on the nose, "I love you." He kissed me again, drawing his arms around my waist and slamming me against the wall. I felt nothing, but love and passion coursing through my red hot veins. His hands in my hair, my arms around his neck. Everything was the way it was supposed to be, this was my happy ending. Almost.

He broke apart and set me down uneasily, "Sorry," he gasped and started to tug my hand to start to pull me towards the door.

I smiled, "I would say I was sorry, but I would be lying."

He laughed, "Of course because I was lying too."

1 Week: 2 Hours: 5 Seconds Later

Sam slammed his hand on the wooden table making all the wolves flinch, "We will kill all of those newborns," spit hit Embry in the eye, "all of them. You see one, you snap it's neck. There is no second thinking. They are all monsters. All of them!" Emily stood in the corner polishing a mug with both of her hands worriedly. Her black hair fell forward to cover the scarred part of her face and if you didn't know any better, you would say she was the prettiest girl you've ever seen.

Sam looked around the room suddenly noticing Leah's absence, "Where is Leah?" No one answered. "Where is she?" I could hear the metaphorical crickets chirping loudly. Sam was switching into Alfa command tone, "Tessa? Where is Leah?"

I gulped as the answer sprayed from my lips, "Hunting." I covered my mouth with my hands, I hated it when Sam told me what to do. It made me want to scream and yell. I didn't move.

Sam shook his head then looked at me again, "You find her and bring her back," he cut off my protests, "she likes you the best and your the fastest out of all of us. Go."

Jake looked angry, but he kept his lips sealed and nodded at me as I brushed by. Love you, I mouthed. His eyes twinkled and he mouthed back, Back at you, babe.

Finding Leah was easier then watching TV or reading my favorite book. I raced after her, couldn't she just slow down? Everyone knew she was the fastest in the pack, but did she really have to prove it?

"Leah, listen to me!" I shouted through the link.

She turned and growled, "You aren't Tessa anymore."

Even in wolf form I stumbled back and felt invisibility crawl up my appendages. Ever since, I've been working on controlling my powers, but when hit by emotion it was hard to control.

Leah must have known she crossed a line. She backed up and sprinted back into the cover of trees where she was safe from me. I shook my head and followed suit.

"Sam wants you home Leah," I told her tightly knowing that using Sam against her wasn't fair, but life wasn't fair. Was it? Her wolf stopped and she looked around at me. Betrayal was clear in her eyes.

She whispered, "We aren't friends, but Im going home."

I sucked in air, "Alright then, consider us done." It was like breaking off a piece of my soul.

A/N: In the next chapter we have the fight. Scary, I know, but totally worth the wait. Below I pasted the teaser from the next chapter. xoxo-ggbrownie

I was so tired, but I felt it through the bonds. He was in trouble. She was in trouble. The two people I loved most in this world were in trouble. I wouldn't let them get hurt I couldn't.

Not like Nick.

So I jumped and everything was pain.
