Hiyaaaaa!

Well, as the author's note before this suggests, I was done for an extremely long time, and I am HORRIBLY sorry for that. I really am, and now that everything's finally settling down and I've been getting some-not all, sadly-of my inspiration back, I've been slowly working away at the chapters that I have neglected to post. Again, I AM SO SOSO SOSOSOS SORRY! DX

Before I go on with all the normal stuff, I just want to say two things: First off, I've realized that I've been putting up a lot of author's notes and such, and I am also sorry about that. I'm now going to try to put less of a babble-a-thon when I type up my long author's notes. And as for my introductions (like this one) and my endings or whatever, they are going to be shorter. So, thank you for dealing with those lengthy sons-of-biznatches and thank you so much for dealing with everything that I've been doing to you guys. Thanks. :3 I love you all. -huggles- You all deserve more then that, but I can't really do anything more but Internet hugs and updates.

ZOMG, you guysssss, thank you so so so so much! 119 reviews? YOU GUYS ARE THE BESTEST PEOPLE I HAVE EVER MET IN MY ENTIRE LIFEEEEEEEEE, AND I LOVE YOU ALL SOSOSOSOSOSOSO MUCHHHHHH! (Non-creepy, you all know that. XD)

Thank you all, again! -dances around happily-

Oohh, one last thing! Since Renny fainted last chappy, this chappy is in Nikki's POV! YAY FOR MY INSANE RED-HEADED DEMONNNNN XD

ONWARDDDDDDDD YAY!

I watched as Renny's head hit the concrete as I quickly ducked from whatever had launched itself at the black-cloaked guy, and I threw myself back on to my shaking feet, whipping my head so that I could try and see what was going on. I threw my hair over my shoulder as I twisted my body toward the dark, shadowed, evergreen pine trees, staring toward the scene I that saw, my eyes locked. Even though I didn't want to admit it, I was scared shitless as to what I saw.

A giant wolf. Over the guy that had been trying to attack us. The red-eyed freak was fighting back, throwing punches at the giant, sandy colored wolf dog, his canines snapping inches away from the red-eyed guy's face.

I couldn't help it. The shock made my lips part and a shattering scream filled the air. My scream. Ivy's sudden shriek echoed mine, slightly higher and more melodic. Her hand grasping at my forearm, trying to yank me away from the scene before me, but my feet were glued, my eyes trained, and my body shuddering, yet a feeling of numbness completely trembled through my limbs and down my spine. I could only move my broken hand now, to cradle it against my chest as Ivy's feeble pulling finally succeeded; she managed to drag me a few steps before yelling, "Nikki!"

I only turned my head a tiny bit, but that was enough. I could see something blurring in the edge of the trees, and that was enough to turn the wolf's attention to it as well; the red-eyed guy kicked at the tan wolf that had pinned him, and the wolf went flying in the other direction, crashing to the ground with a sickening thud at least ten feet away from us. A strangled howl thundered through the air from the collapsed wolf, and it rung in my ears as with inhuman speed, the freak was standing once more, a new person at his side. Another male, this one with blond hair and a taunt face, crimson, blood-red eyes locked on us, watching carefully, his hungry, demonic gaze slipping from me and Ivy, who was cowering behind me, to Renny's completely limp body that was crumpled on the ground.

"Oh, Tyrone, please, brother, can we feed yet?" the blond haired male asked the coal-colored haired male.

"Yes," the dark-haired male replied with a wicked grin on his lips, watching as the sandy colored wolf got to its feet once more, shaking out its fur and a wicked snarl echoed through it's bared teeth. It seemed as if the wolf was debating on lunging once more.

"Ohfuckohfuckohfuck." Ivy's words were blurring together as her grip on my forearm got tighter, and pain started to throb there.

My good hand balled into a fist. Anger and fright shaking through my body. I wasn't about to let some pair of assholes try to scare us into believing they were some sort of demonic brothers of some sort. They weren't going to get away with trying to threaten my best friends, they weren't going to get away with anything they were planning to do in those thoughtless, stupid-ass minds. They were bluffing us-probably just wearing some sort of contacts to throw people off, or maybe they had gotten the date wrong and had thought it was Halloween. And of course they couldn't actually "feed" on us. It's not like they were vampires or anything, right?

Well, call the bluff. Play them off, tease them with their own game. Ha, that'll teach those bitches to mess with me, Nikita Katrina Jones.

Even though I was scared out of my blue lacy panties, I wasn't about to let them play with us.

My jaw set, taunt, I stepped forward, Ivy trying to hold me back from moving, and I said. "Yeah, that's right. Feed all you want. Just try and get your skinny little hands around my neck. I dare you."

"Little girl, don't you understand? I already broke your hand. I could snap your dainty little neck to pieces." The dark-haired ass laughed.

"Try me."

"Nikita!" Ivy's voice shattered with pain.

As I was keeping him busy, the sandy wolf's snarl continued as it started forward, but theblond male shrieked out a growl, and the wolf launched itself once more, claws reaching for the blonde male's chest, it's fang-like canines aiming for the man's throat. Just as the wolf had managed to pin the blond male, the dark-haired one was out of sight, and I couldn't see anything before I felt an ice cold fear trickle down my spine and an equally cold hand wrapped around my neck, squeezing with pressure I had never felt before. Pain shattered through my neck, but I felt no snapping or breaking yet; just unbearable pressure that would soon knock me out. I could only see the pale face of what seemed like my sudden death.

"NIKITA!" Ivory screamed in anguish as she was thrown a few feet away by the dark-haired male's other hand, where she landed beside Renny, and went to get back up just as quickly as she had been knocked down.

Then, my inner prayers had been answered. Four more snarls echoed off of the sandy wolf's snarl, and the dark-haired male dropped me, and I gasped for air as my knees buckled under me, causing me to fall to the gravel ground, inhaling as deeply as I could. Everything shaking around me until I couldn't focus on the blurs of color that launched themselves at both the black-haired male and the blond one. Sharp, shrieking noises were heard, like metal being torn apart, and only a small scream echoed through the air that didn't belong to a male.

It was Ivy's terrified-no-horrified scream as the wolf's tore at the males, pieces of white flying into the edge of the trees, just hiding in the fringe there.

Shuddering sobs then followed Ivy's yelp, and I turned to her, only to find rivers of tears streaming down her face, her sensitive nature completely frightened and scarred from this experience. Completely and utterly scarred. Scared out of her wits. Nothing, not anything, could make Ivy sob this much, and my own shaking body tried to reach for her, holding my good arm out to her, showing her that I was alright and ready to comfort her if need be.

Ivy threw herself into my arms, carefully situating us right beside Renny, so that one of Ivy's shaking hands could try and take Renny's pulse. I grabbed it, completely silent, the very small and hidden part of my whole personality, my quietness, finally coming out. I took my own good hand, quickly feeling at the skin of her neck. Yes, Renny was fine. Her pulse was actually very good, if she had been awake and functioning. But she was still showing no signs of waking up. But I knew, no matter what, we had to get the hell out of there. The wolves were still tearing at our frighteningly monsterous enemies, and were seemingly forgetting that we where there.

We had to get out of there. Right now, at the instant, at the second.

Cool collected calm fell over me, shielding my fear from taking over once more. I let go of Ivy and nodded for her to go, and she sat there a blinked at me a few times before I grasped at Renny's shoulder, yanking her into a sitting position, her body flopping like some sort of rag doll's. Ivy helped me quickly, grabbing Renny's waist to get her into a standing position, Ivy completely supporting Renny's body with her own willowy one. I remained crouched, and Ivy made no move to speak, but I whispered softly, "On my back. I'll piggy back her."

Ivy heaved Renny's body to flop against my back, and I hook my good arm around her knee, her head bashing against my shoulder, pain radiating through my injured wrist and my shoulder. I winced a bit and slowly stood straight, my knees trying to buckle on me and cause me to flop to the ground once more. But I managed through sheer will to stay on my feet, and I began to trudge through the sand, Ivy staying at my side, salty tears still streaming down her face, ready to help me carry Renny if need be. My heart pounded uncomfortably, and Ivy's shaking body made it even worst because I knew I was going to have to both comfort Ivy and be Renny's body, moving for her, relocating her to a safer location. We didn't look back, only sprinting as fast as we could until we were on the main La Push road once more, gravel crunching under our feet, shaking legs carrying us with adrenaline I didn't know I had deep inside of me. Sprinting for five minutes straight had taken it's tole on my already weak body; I was getting slower, and it was a good thing we were farther away. Finally, I knew I was going to be able to slow down; no wolves would be stupid enough, idiotic enough to try and follow us.

All of my emotions were in a complete pile; I couldn't tell what I was feeling anymore.

Ivy was panting at my right side, blond hair frazzled and disruntled, as she let it fall in her face this once. "N-N-Nikki, what was that?" Ivy stammered.

I grunted as I continued forward, not bothering to look back, not wanting to see what was going on. Just keep going. Just keep walking, just keep walking. "I don't know, and I don't fucking care."

"D-don't care?" Ivy whispered, her salon-colored lips still trembling.

"No. It wasn't us. I don't care. We just need to keep going."

"Nikki-"

"We're not getting help, Ivy. We can't."

"But-" She started.

"Nikki!" A sudden voice called out, and it's comforting sound made all of my body give up at the same second. I was on my knees, Renny being caught by Ivy's waiting arms.

Paul.

"Ivy!" A softer voice, but still as rough as the first.

Embry.

"Renny!" This one was the most pained, straining on Renny's name.

Seth.

We were saved.
