Too Late

My mind was still trying to comprehend what the hell was going on as The Four started walking closer to me. They all had smirks on their faces as they circled around me, surrounding me.

"Surprised?" Ulf asked me tauntingly as he stood directly in front of me.

"A little, yeah." I replied. "I figured after getting your asses handed to you last time, that you guys would have just given up trying to get me."

Ulf's smirk dropped after I made that comment. I could still see some fading bruises on his face from when Edward beat him up, and he was still wearing the eye patch where his eye used to be. I couldn't help but smirk at that.

"I see you still have a nice souvenir of what I did to you back in Paris. How's that eye of yours, Patch?" I teased him.

I guess that made Ulf mad, because right after I said that, the fucker smacked me in the face! I looked up at him with the deadliest glare I could give him. He was seriously pissing me off. I also couldn't understand why James teamed up with them, or how.

"So why are you guys teamed up with James? Are you guys such wussies, that you had to have a vampire do your dirty work?" I asked Ulf.

Ulf's face grimaced in anger at my calling them wussies, but he quickly calmed himself, then he answered.

"Actually, we crossed paths with James not too long after you left. We went to your house to finish you off, only to find out you were gone. Well, James here showed up only seconds after we did; we got to talking, turns out we have something in common." He smirked at me as he finished, "So we made a deal."

My eyebrows furrowed, "And what, pray tell, is this deal?"

Ulf let out a dark chuckle before he answered, "He lets us have our fun with you, then we get to watch him finish you off."

I growled at him, "Is that so?" I raised one eyebrow at him.

Ulf leaned slightly towards me as if to intimidate me.

"Yes." He replied confidently.

"Good luck with that." was all I said before I punched him square in the nose.

He was caught off guard by that, he held his hands up to his face, giving me the chance to kick him right in the groin. Ulf collapsed to the floor in agony as the rest of the Four ran towards me to attack. I jumped up in the air, flipped over their heads, and landed on my feet so I was now behind them. They quickly turned around to face me; Finn was in front of me, so I kicked him in the chest causing him to fall back on his ass. Willem was at my left, Gregory at my right, so I jumped up and did a split kick, kicking them in the faces.

Yes! I was finally getting the upper hand in the fight. Ulf was able to recover from his pain as he got up from the floor and ran my way. To say he was pissed would be an understatement. I don't think there's even a name for it. But I do know that his facial expression was deadly, he probably would have melted my face off if he had the ability.

I just smirked as I started running straight for him, playing chicken. We were running even faster until we both jumped up in the air at the same time, colliding with one another. We landed on the floor, I was on top of Ulf. I started punching and clawing his face like there was no tomorrow. He of course tried to get some punches in, but I dodged them in time. Before I knew it, I was being roughly yanked backwards by my hair. I looked up, and I saw James standing over me with my hair in his fist, and a dark smile on his face.

He yanked me up off of the floor so I was standing up. He grabbed me by the throat and held me up in the air. I tried kicking him, but he just tightened his grip on my throat, cutting off my oxygen. I could hear the Four walking towards us, laughing at my pain. James continued to smile in amusement.

"I'm really going to enjoy this." He said as he tightened his grip.

I was nearly out of air, but I continued to fight him, kicking him and clawing at his hands as hard as I can. I can feel my eyes begin to roll to the back of my head as I was about to lose consciousness. Just when I thought my time was up, I felt myself drop to the floor as I heard a crash. I coughed as I opened my eyes, my vision going back into focus as I saw my rescuer.

Edward.

He came for me! I may have kept telling him I could defend myself, but I have never been more happy to see him than right now. He met his eyes with mine. His face was twisted with guilt and sadness. Knowing him, he probably felt guilty for the situation, or for not being here sooner. I would have to tell him otherwise later. Edward was about to walk over to me, only to be pushed to the side by James.

James grabbed Edward by the throat, and pinned him against one of the unbroken mirrors. Does that asshole have a fetish for choking people or what?! I stood up and tried to get to Edward, but leave it to the fucking Four to jump in and try to fight me. Ulf grabbed me from behind, pulling me with him. I lifted my right leg straight up and kicked him in the face, causing him to loosen his grip on me. I looked for Edward, finding him and James fighting each other.

Well, since Edward was taking care of James, I turned back toward the Four. I had enough of doing simple human combat…I was ready to play dirty. I ran towards them at a short distance, then I jumped up in the air, feeling the change happening. I saw the Four do the same thing. My arms and legs were extended, my whole body's glowing as the change begins to take over. I landed on the floor in my pure white wolf form. The boys landed in their dark colored wolf forms.

Ulf's fur was pure black with some faint white steaks. He looked like a Hellhound. Willem was light brown and dark grey; Finn was dark red with faint black streaks; and Gregory was dark grey and black. They all looked vicious, but I was just as vicious. We snarled at each other, bearing our teeth, prepared to show no mercy. There's a good possibility that I wasn't going to make it out of here alive, but if I'm going down, then in the words of Bon Jovi… I'm going down in a blaze of glory.

I let out a fierce growl as I started running toward them, ready to attack. They started running toward me, I jumped at them, and landed on Ulf, sinking my teeth into his throat. I could hear him let out a small whimper from the pain. He kept on wriggling, trying to shake me off of him. The other three started attacking me, trying to get me away from Ulf. I had no choice but to let Ulf go. I started biting and clawing at them, Gregory stood on his hind legs, trying to tackle me; but I was quick and stood on my hind legs, facing him so we were clawing each other.

The rest of them continued to swipe their claws at me, one of the fuckers bit down hard on my tail, causing me to turn around on them and bit down on their ear. I couldn't even tell who it was I bit, because all I was seeing was red. Red from the anger, for everything they did to me. For killing Aiden, for trying to kill me, for trying to take me down with their cruel words. I was too caught up with fighting that I didn't see James quickly walk toward me, with a silver blade in his hand.

Then, before I could do anything, I felt the worse pain imaginable in my side. I let out a loud whimper as I felt James pull the knife out of me. The Four backed away from me as I collapsed on the floor. I could feel my body slowing changing back to my human form. I looked up and saw Edward pinning James against the wall, his face twisted with rage. My body starts shaking as I feel the silver getting into my blood stream.

The Four were still gathered around me, watching me suffer. I then saw the rest of the Cullens, Aunt Hope, Coban, Jake, Leah, Seth, Sam, and Quil rush into the studio. The Cullens actually jumped from the ceiling where there was an upstairs attic or something and onto the floor. Carlisle, Jasper, and Emmett rushed to Edward and James while Alice, Esme, and Rosalie rushed over to me. Aunt Hope and the rest of them were quaking with rage. I saw them run after the Four as they changed into their wolf forms. Then my vision started to get blurry. I was shaking even harder from the silver in my body.

Alice, Esme, and Rosalie looked upon me with fear and worry…yes, even Rosalie. I knew they were trying to calm me down, but I couldn't hear any of it. Then I faintly heard Alice yell for Carlisle. They may have been talking louder, but they were whispers in my ears. I couldn't see, but I could feel Edward kneeling next to me.

"There's too much silver to suck it out, Edward." I faintly heard Carlisle say.

"Vivian told me there was an Antigen to get rid of it." Edward replied softly, at least to me.

"There's no time, Edward! The silver is in her bloodstream, she'll die." Carlisle exclaimed.

He was right about that. I can feel the silver throughout my body, it felt like the worse kind of acid that was slowly eating away at my body.

"What do you want me to do, Carlisle?!" I could slightly hear Edward ask.

"You can bite her, try to change her. That's the only option I can think of now, or let her die." Carlisle replied. His voice sounded even weaker to me.

"Carlisle I can't do that! We don't even know if it will work, she's already not human!" Edward exclaimed.

"It is the only choice we have! That is just the risk we will have to take. You must decide now." Carlisle shot back.

I didn't want to die. I may have been willing to sacrifice myself for people I love, but the truth is that I'm not ready to die. So I used what little bit of strength I had left to speak to Edward.

"Please…" my weak voice caught their attention, "Help me."

I didn't hear anything else for what felt like forever, until I felt Edward lean toward me. His hands held my head up, his forehead pressed against mine as I could hear him whisper…

"I'll make it go away, Vivian. I love you."

Those were the last words I heard before I felt him sink his teeth into my throat.

Standing there by a broken tree
Her hands are all twisted, she was pointing at me
I was damned by the light, coming out of her eyes
She spoke with a voice that disrupted the sky
She said walk on over here to the bitter shade
I will wrap you in my arms and you'll know that you're saved
Let me sign
Let me sign

I was out for a drink in a soho bar
The air was smoked out liked a cheap cigar
She rose out of her seat like a painted ghost
She was the woman that I wanted the most
As she reached for my arm I gave her my hand
I said 'Lay me down easy let me understand'
Let me sign,
Let sign,
Can't fight the devil so just let me sign.

As I walked through the door she was still in my head
As I entered the room she was laid there in bed
She reached out for me all twisted in black
I was on my way down, never coming back
Let me sign, let me sign, can't fight the devil so just let me sign.
Let me sign, let me sign, can't fight the devil so just let me sign.

Let Me Sign
