Thanks for all the reviews! No, Michelle isn't a vampire.

This chapter's a little weird and I tried to fit it in with Eclipse because this is kind of when my whole story takes place. ALSO, do any of you guys know when Collin and Brady come into the Twilight series? I'm tired right now and I can't remember if I've used them already in my story. If you know, PLEASE leave a review because I want to use them later in the story maybe. ENJOY:)


PAUL'S POV

The trail went all the way to Seattle. If it were up to me, we would have continued following it. If it were up to me, that Bella chick would be dead and if it were up to me, we wouldn't be fighting this stupid ass war in the first place! We would be finding my damn imprint! But NO. Sam has to go all alpha on me and order me to join in the fight. We had been searching for twelve hours and he promised that as soon as the fight was over, we would go looking for her again.

"It's the big day Paul," Seth said cheerfully, rubbing his hands together. Dumb kid, always so happy.

"Fuck off," I growled, walking away. He wasn't even going to fight.

"Paul," I heard Sam yell, but I ignored him, "PAUL! Stop!"

I froze and turned around, seething. Sam ran up to me, looking pissed. He looks pissed? He isn't forced to follow orders from an asshole.

"What?" I growled.

"Listen," he began softly, "I know you're worried about Michelle, but we will find her. As soon as this whole mess is over, we'll search for her. Everywhere."

"But she could be in danger," I yelled, punching a tree.

"Paul, if she were in real danger, you would feel it. Is your heart telling you she's in danger?" he asked.

I didn't answer, grinding my teeth.

"If she's in real trouble, then you'll know and I will give you permission to leave the fight and go find her," Sam sighed.

MICHELLE'S POV

I grunted as I was thrown against a wall for the hundredth time that day. Stupid fucking ass vampires, can't control their thirst. Apparently, this Riley guy thought it would be a good idea to keep the human with a bunch of bloodthirsty newborn vampires. Genius right? But now, Jesse has to save me every time one of them gets too close. Apparently, Jesse has never learned the word gentle.

I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing here, or what they want with me. Something about bate? They know I'm in the "pack," so that's why I'm still a delicate human.

"You, human," I looked up at Riley. He knew my name, the jerk, he just liked feeling superior, "Walk."

I rolled my eyes but stood up. I learned about four hours ago not to mess with a vampire, hence my broken wrist. Well, I assume it's broken since nobody would take me to the hospital. It stung painfully, but I ignored it.

I began walked, but was surprised when Jesse picked me up. My eyes narrowed ad I crossed my arms, looking away.

"You humans are to slow," Jesse laughed rudely.

"What did you get us into Jesse?" I asked.

"Hey, being a vampire is great! And some of the blood I've drunk is like a gazillion times better than most of the stuff I smoked. Plus the speed, super hearing, smell. Well, except for you cuz you smell like dog," he rambled on.

We reached the woods and then all the vampires were running at lightning speed. I shut my eyes, trying not to be sick. We ran for ten minutes before Riley stopped us.

"This is it," he whispered menacingly, "Remember, get the girl and all the blood can be yours. Follow that path, I'll meet you on the other side. Jesse, you know what to do."

My brother nodded and followed the vampires, who seemed to be going crazy over some trees. I gagged when I realized it was blood. I could see a little clearing ahead, but before we reached it, Jesse ducked into some trees, still holding on to me. The rest of the vampires went to the clearing quickly.

"What the hell is going on?" I asked loudly.

Jesse clamped his hand over my mouth, "Just keep your mouth shut!"

It was a matter of three seconds before the screaming started. It was all coming from the newborns. That was followed by the howls. Like wolf howls. I squirmed in Jesse's arms. I could recognize Paul's howl anywhere.

"PAUL!" I screamed, put Jesse put his hand back over my mouth.

"Keep quiet fat ass, it's not time yet," he hissed in my ear.

I continued to scream myself horse, but no sound came out. No matter how much I wiggled and squirmed, there was no way out of Jesse's grip. We waited in the brush for something I didn't know. The screaming continued, more howls. I picked out Paul's every time. Soon, the smoke came. Billowing towers of dark purple smoke filled the area. That's when Jesse stood up.

He set me on the ground and I tried, stupidly, to make a run for it. He let me go and I headed straight for the clearing, where I knew my wolf would be to protect me. I was stupid enough not to think Jesse could catch up to me in a split second.

"HELP ME!" I screamed, bursting into the clearing.

There were so many vampires and I didn't know which ones were good and bad. There were wolves, too and I picked out mine straight away.

"HELP!" I yelled again, sprinting towards him. His eyes widened when the set on me. He took a step forward but then a step back in fear.

Jesse grabbed me by the shoulders again, "Hello," he began.

The wolves barked and growled, but didn't go anywhere near. The reason why dawned on me quickly. His hand was at a position where, with just a flick of the wrist, he could easily break my neck. I gasped, would my own brother kill me?

"I want to request a trade. Girl for a girl. Give her to me, and you may have the wolf girl back," Jesse said. That asshole! He knew my name, too! Why couldn't he just say Michelle? It's two syllables, really not that hard. His name was freaking two syllables.

Fear makes me nuts.

"It's over," Carlisle, I recognized, whispered.

"It's not over," Jesse laughed.

"But it is," Carlisle said, "My son killed Victoria and Riley. They are both gone, the fight is over. Edward and Bella will be down soon."

"It's over…" Jesse mumbled, sounding weakened for the first time in his life.

"Yeah, so that means we get to fucking kill you," a burly vampire said gleefully.

"I think you're forgetting who is in the position to make threats," Jesse said, "One step closer and I will snap her neck."

Paul growled loudly and Jesse's hold tightened around me. My wolf's growl turned into a whimper and knelt to the ground in defeat.

"You," Jesse spit, turning his attention to a vampire I recognized, "What are you doing? We're gonna get out of here, you can have this girl."

"She surrendered," Carlisle said calmly, "Now I suggest you hand over Michelle and we can be on our way. We will let you live, just hand her over."

"Like I'm gonna fucking believe you," Jesse snorted, backing away slowly towards the woods with me.

And then I was being thrown across the forest. A wolf jumped out of the trees and was tackling my brother to the ground. Only this time, my brother stood up and headed straight for her.

"Leah!"
