Author's Note: I know that after you finish reading this chapter you will want to kill me, and I won't blame you. But in my defense, I'm still not done. There's still one, maybe two chapters left of this story still to be written. Please review. Thanks for reading

Don't you hate the feeling you get when you know someone is in trouble but you don't know what you can do to stop it? Or worse, you don't know if you will get there in time to try to fight? That was exactly what I was feeling as we raced on foot at an impressive speed to LaPush. The anxiety I was feeling seemed to be aging me by the minute, even though I knew I couldn't age. My whole family was with me apart from Edward, who felt the need to stay at home and protect Bella. I couldn't blame him.

Alice must have noticed my panic because she was running right next to me. "Don't worry, Rose. I'm sure Embry will be fine. He'll stall them until we get there." She tried, unsuccessfully, to calm me down.

I shook my head. "If I'm too late I swear . . ." I couldn't even finish my sentence because I was choking up.

Once we had finally made it to LaPush, I led the way to Embry's house. I didn't take us much time to be able to smell the scent of other vampires. I knew they had beat us here. I felt my heart sink.

When we made it to the house, everyone but me hesitated by the door, not sure about breaking and entering.

I groaned impatiently. "Like breaking the law has ever stopped us before!" I said in frustration and proceeded to kick down the locked door.

"Embry?" I called loudly throughout the house, searching madly. "Embry, are you here?" When I heard no answer I decided to search upstairs in his room.

I kicked down the door, not bothering to turn the knob, and looked around for any sign of presence. Nothing. I groaned. I searched in his closest and under the bed, even though I doubted he would have any reason to be under there. I was unsurprised that there was no sign of him.

I was about to leave the room and begin my search out of his house when something on the bed caught my eye. I walked back over to it. On the pillow, was a piece of paper, a letter. It was addressed to me. I gulped and read its contents out loud to myself.

Dearest Rosalie,

I know the wild vampires are here; I have a pretty good nose when it comes to stuff like that. And if I know you like I think I do, you've come to find me and make sure I am safe. That would mean a huge fight between your family and those savage vampires. The last thing I want for you is a split family. I've seen how protective Emmett is of you and I know he would sacrifice himself for you as well. But I don't want to take that risk. I know Emmett makes you happy, probably just as much as I can make you happy. I never wanted to be a home wrecker, so just let Emmett know that it wasn't anything personal. That's why I want to take myself out of the picture. By removing myself from your life, I give you and Emmett the opportunity to be happy again. That's all I want, Rose. I'm proving to you and everyone that I love you more, because I'm letting you go. One more thing, please don't go after the vampires after you read this. For me. I don't want to make this harder than it has to be. Rose, please know that I will always love you with all of my heart. You are my life and my soul. Good bye, Angel.

Love Always and Forever,

Embry

I didn't know everyone came in until I heard sobbing behind me. My whole family was in the room, looking sorrowful. Alice and Esme were holding each other in the corner, sobbing quietly and tearlessly. But none of them knew of the deep despair that I was feeling in every inch of my body. The letter slipped out of my hand and I felt to the ground, ignoring the deafening sound I made when I hit the floor. I felt a pair of hands instantly on my shoulder. I turned and saw Emmett's sad face.

I allowed myself to lean on him when I stood up, I buried my face in his chest and made hysterical sobbing sounds. If it were anyone else in my place, I don't know if I could even bear to hear such a noise.

Emmett squeezed me tight and yet he was still completely gentle with me, he whispered comforting things in my ear that I couldn't even make out.

After a few minutes of this, I looked up to see Esme coming toward me and put a hand on my cheek. "We should get you home, away from here." She said softly.

I shook my head, I knew she was just trying to help but she didn't understand that nothing would help, but there was something else that I knew I had to do. And it did not involve going home. I looked up to meet her gaze. "No, I can't go home. I have to do something first."

Esme frowned. "What could be so important that it can't wait?"

I sniffed. " I've got to kill the bastards who did this to my Embry." I said fiercely despite myself.

Esme shook her head frantically. "No, sweetheart. That would be dangerous." She tried to reason with me, but I knew she could see that it did no good. Before anyone else could protest further, I was out of Emmett arms and out the door of Embry's house.

What was waiting there caught me off guard.

"Looking for something? Or perhaps someone?" I saw the wild looking female vampire's lips curl back to reveal her razor sharp teeth.

There were two of them, a couple, no doubt. The woman who had spoken had shoulder length black hair which was wavy. Her eyes were a piercing shade of red. Her attire consisted of a long white shirt with long sleeves which was almost see through. It had patterns of gold beads in different places. She was wearing a mid length skirt that came down to just above her knees. It was leopard print. She was not wearing any shoes, but her toe nails were a blood red color, as were her finger nails. The man had short, dark hair that desperately needed to be combed. His eyes matched his mate, equally as hungry looking. His tee shirt was white and wet, so you could see his abs and his perfect muscles. I noted mentally that Embry and Emmett's abs were much hotter. He had on a pair of loose jeans that had random rips and tears everywhere. He, too, was wearing no shoes.

The woman smiled maliciously at me. "You must be the girl of whom that foolish boy spoke." She waved her hand dismissively.

I growled viciously. "What have you done with him?" I spat at the both of them.

The man put his hands up defensively with a mock innocent expression. "Hey, we were just doing him a favor. He asked for it."

"You son of a bitch!" I yelled and threw myself at them, but Emmett and Jasper caught my arms, restraining me. "Let me go." I yelled, still glaring at the couple.

Carlisle appeared and put himself directly in between them and me. He put his hands up, peacemaking. Then he turned to the hungry vampires. "You're not wanted here, you should go, far away." He said calmly but still firmly.

Both pairs of red eyes stayed on my face. "No." I said through my teeth. "We have some unfinished business to attend to."

Both of them smiled excitedly, preparing themselves for a fight. "Then first we shall properly introduce ourselves." The female said. "My name is Jezebel and this is my mate, Lucas."

Lucas nodded. "Shall we fight then?"

I growled once more and pulled out of Jazz and Em's hands, getting myself into a crouching position. Despite their unwillingness, my whole family except Carlisle, who was still looking as though he wanted to sort things through without violence, which did not surprise me.

Jezebel and Lucas's faces looked a bit surprised and concerned as my whole family prepared for battle. I guessed they didn't think they would join me. "Perhaps we should be going then." Lucas muttered cowardly.

Jezebel shook her head while I said, "why leave now when the fun is just beginning." At that moment, everyone attacked except Carlisle and Esme who were hesitating.

They didn't stand a chance against us. Even without Esme and Carlisle in the mix, it was still four on two, giving us a major advantage. Limbs were being torn every second, something that would have made me feel slightly uneasy if the vampires hadn't just killed my Embry. I heard screams that were deafeningly loud, but that did not stop our attack. Alice pulled away and quickly started a fire and we all took turns throwing detached body parts from both vampires in the blazing flames. The job was so easy it wasn't even fun, and it couldn't even be considered a fight because I wasn't really putting in much effort. We all stood motionless, watching the pieces of the vampires burn to the ground.
