A/N:

I totally forgot to do this so here it is:

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight.

There, and thats for the ENTIRE story, OK? Great.

Lacey's POV

I ran a hand through my auburn hair and started to pace again while Max leaned against the wall.

"Come on, Lacey. Just spit it out!" Max laughed.

"This is serious! OK, um, you know how I let you and Amanda, I mean Claire, get on the lifeboat instead of me?" I asked.

"Yeah..."

"Well, Dameon was not very happy about that. So, he wants to take us to a woodshop and kill you two while I watch."

"Wow, he is sick!"

"I know. What can we do though?"

"I don't know!"

"Dude!"

"OK, let me think."

I tapped my foot impatiently as Max thought.

"I'm not getting any younger here!" I complained.

"Wait, why are you currently living with shape-shifters?" Max asked.

I explained Victoria's plan and how a large coven of newborn vampires now lived in Seattle planning on attacking the Cullens. Then I told him how we needed the werewolves help.

"What if we wait to deal with this problem? You know, one problem at a time." Max insisted.

"I don't know...You know I hate putting off things like this." I gulped.

"Come on, Lacey. Pleeeaaase?" Max begged.

"I hate you."

"Does that mean we're putting it off?"

"Yeah, against my better judgement."

"YES!"

I sighed shaking my head and chuckling.

There was a knock at the door.

I opened it and saw Embry.

"Hi Embry. What do you want?" I asked.

"We need to talk. Can we go on a walk?" Embry asked.

"N-

"Yes. Go." Max ordered pushing me out.

"Hey! You aren't the boss of me!" I protested.

"You know, I vaguely remember a scene very much like this one. Don't you, Lacey?" Max asked.

I remembered the time Amanda and William had been fighting on the Titanic.

William was staying in my cabin and Amanda was with Dameon.

Amanda came one night and wanted to talk about what had happened and before William could say no, I pushed him out.

I always knew that would come back and bite me on the butt.

Dang it!

"Fine, I'll go." I muttered pulling my shoes on.

Embry and I walked to the beach in silence and sat on a piece of drift wood.

"Why do hate me, Lacey?" Embry asked looking out over the ocean.

"I don't hate you. You drive me crazy though." I answered.

"Why?"

"Because you just don't tell your mom where you are, what you are for that matter! She cries every night because she is worried sick! And Embry, she's given me something I never had and it feels horrible to keep something like this from her and-"

"Wait, you knew before today?"

"Uh..."

"It was the leeches wasn't it!"

"No!"

"How did you know? And do you know what the Cullens are?"

"Yes!"

"How?"

"Embry-"

"Did they tell you?"

"No."

"Then how do you know?"

"Uh..."

"Lacey!"

"OK! I'm not human!" I exclaimed.

"What?" Embry asked, his head snapping to me.

"Um...I'm not human?"

"I knew it!"

"Really?"

"No."

"Thought so."

"If your not human, what are you?"

"Uh, he-he, I'm a cambion?"

"What the heck is that?"

"My dad's the devil."

Embry's eyebrows looked like they were trying to escape his head.

"Thats not all." I muttered.

"What else is there?" Embry asked.

"Claire and Max are also cambions."

"Oh, god."

"Yeah, thats why I didn't really want to come here."

"Why?"

"Because it was secret and I didn't really want to tell you. I was going to tell Quil when no one else was around because Claire's basically his world but I wasn't gonna tell you and...now I'm rambling."

"Wait, you knew Quil imprinted on Claire and you aren't really mad?"

"Should I be?"

"Uh, no..."

"Alright, uh, yeah, thats why you've never met your aunt. She died when I was born."

"I'm sorry."

"Yeah, same with Claire and Max. Every cambions mom died. Mitzi and Drew's mom died before labor though, because she was carrying twins."

"Wait, so those two brats that you hang out with are also cambions. OK, how did we not realize this?"

"Cause you guys are idiots!"

Embry glared at me and tried to punch my shoulder but I caught his hand before he could.

"See, if you were smart, you would know that A: I'm stronger and B: faster."

"I am too smart."

"I saw your last report card. Not your best work."

"Ugh. Wait, does this have anything to do with you and Claire getting burned, literally?"

I stared at my now shuffling feet.

"Yes. You see, when we're first born. We don't have pulse or breath. In fact, we won't gain these things until we are of seven years. Since we are incapable of blending in we live in the Abyss. The Abyss is a place where demons rule and there war and betrayal and humiliation and suffering and...horrible things. Down there we're treated as slaves. And if we mess up, which we usually do because we're so young and don't understand what they want, a shapeshifter that turns into a wolf and looks remarkably like you guys burns us with a torch. Hence my fear of fire." I said as tears slipped down my face and into my opened hands.

Without saying a word, Embry hugged me in a brotherly way and I cried into his shoulder.

"I'm so so so so so sorry, Lacey." Embry muttered.

"What are you sorry for?" I asked confused.

"I thought you were mad at me for no reason but you had a really good one."

"No, to tell you the truth, I do admit that I pushed things a bit too far. Blame the genes."

Embry chuckled and I wiped my eyes.

We walked back to the wolves house chatting about random things and my mind was brought away from what I'll have to face after the war.
