With a hard suck, Victoria drew blood from Lucy's arm and gulped as it slid down her throat. All she got was one large mouthful before Edward was able to rip her off, along with a medium sized portion of Lucy's skin. The pain was indescribable. She watched as Edward ripped Victoria's head off, fresh blood spurting from her neck and painting the snow. It was sickening to watch. Before Lucy could blink again Edward had pulled the make vampires body parts out from under Seth and thrown them, along with Victoria, into the fire. Seth ran up to her and helped guide her to a tree she could lean against before staying at her side. Lucy took of her sweater and pressed it against her wound, trying to stop the blood flow. Seth nudged her arm, he wanted to see it, and suddenly Lucy remembered that he was a fourteen year old boy with hopes and dreams that he might never be able to fulfill because of his genes, and she was tremendously sorry. She let Seth see her wound and he began gently lapping at it. Lucy gave a quick wince and a sharp intake of breath but he continued. Once he stopped she realized that he had cleaned the area. He put his head in her lap and she went back to pressing her sweater against her arm.

"Am I going to turn?" Lucy hadn't realized how raspy her voice, she also hadn't realized that she was crying, "Am I going to turn into one of you?"

Edward turned towards her. He was across the clearing, as far away from her blood as he could get and holding Bella tightly, "No. Victoria sucked out her own venom but you're losing quite a bit of blood, you're going to need a blood transfusion. We should go see Carslile and the others. Their battle is done too. And yes. They're all ok and very nearly home."

"Seth?" Theo sandy wolf raised its large head to look at her with tired eyes, "Seth, I need you to go home."

The wolf whined and shook his head, it needed to make sure that its pack sister was ok.

"Seth I need you to do this for me." Lucy swallowed hard, "Tell Sam what happened. Only Sam or Jacob. You can't tell Paul, have either Sam or Jacob tell him. Tell Jacob to get a spot at his house ready for the blood transfusion. Please?"

The wolf whined once more but stood up. It nudged her arm again and she gave it a little scratch behind the ear.

"Really Seth, I'm fine. You did great today. I owe you my life." Lucy gave him a small, thankful smile and watched as he disappeared into the forest.

Edward came over and gently picked her up, Bella was already on his back. She knew they were going to see Carslile. Edward nodded at her, confirming her thoughts then suddenly he was off and she could feel the cold wind slap her on her exposed skin and she wanted nothing more than to be wrapped up in Paul's warmth. And maybe a blood transfusion. As the vampire family came into view Lucy started to lose her grip on reality. She felt like she was swaying, even thought she had been put in the steady arms of the doctor. Everything sounded like it was far away. Lucy was scared. Suddenly she was transferred again, to Rosalie this time, and tucked behind a wall of Cullen's. She could see the three vampires emerge from a small gap in between Edward and Bella. From what Bella had told her when she returned from Italy, Lucy knew that this was Jane. Lucy had a hard time following the conversation but she was able to pick out a few key points.

"We decided to take this opportunity to check on your progress. Obviously neither girl has been changed." Jane's voice was like ice down Lucy's shirt.

"The date has been set." Alice's voice was much harsher than Lucy or Bella had ever heard.

"Ah yes, we received your wedding invitation. However, we will not be in attendance. Someone will be return shortly after to make sure both sisters have been turned. And remember, we don't give second chances."

Lucy had never been a fainter but as she watched the three vampires walk away she blacked out. Only one thought rang in her mind. To make sure both sisters have been turned.

Hours later Lucy wakes up in Jacob's room to yelling on the other side of the door. Her arm has been stitched up and there is an IV in the crook of her elbow. Her head is pounding but she does her best to decipher the voices, although she's pretty sure she knows who it is.

"Let me fucking see her!" Paul yells from outside. Lucy can hear his feet shuffle, someone must be holding him back.

"Not until she wakes up, Paul." Sam sounds tired, like he's already said this a hundred times before.

Lucy does her best to find her voice. After several tries to call out to him she finally makes a sound. It's quiet and raspy but she knows that, with their sensitive hearing, they will hear her. "Paul?"

There is silence on the other side of the door as the pack freezes at the sound of her voice then Paul runs in. the sound of the door slamming against the wall makes Lucy wince but she is so happy to finally see him that she doesn't care. Momentarily she looks past him and see's some of the other wolves. Sam, Jacob, Seth, and Leah all smile softly to her and wave before Paul growls at them and shuts the door. He doesn't want anyone else looking at his mate until he knows she's ok and especially not in her current state. Rosalie had to take off her shirt to put the IV in and he doesn't want to the pack to see her in her underwear. In a bag in the corner of the room lay her blood stained clothes and all Paul wants to do is burn them. Paul goes and lays on the bed with her, holding her, smelling her, doing all he can to calm his wolf but Rosalie has told him everything.

"They told me that," Paul chokes on his words and realizes that he is about to cry, "That they might have to change you."

"I know. But they won't." Lucy tries he best to reassure him, "I'll think of something."

The rest of the day they spend in bed together, sleeping, joking, laughing, loving.
