Recap: "Listen Embry, you're never gonna see me again. None of you will. So please look after Charlie for me, okay? And tell the Pack I love them." I paused as a sob passed through my lips. "I'm going to miss you, Em. Love you," I said, and pressed the 'end call' button. This was it, I repeated in my mind. This was my final goodbye to Embry, maybe forever.

Chapter Six – Kim's POV of Friday Night

The night had a disastrous ending. Harry Clearwater had passed away. Melody Saunders, the birthday girl, had managed to get Bella to drink, which lead to Embry being very angry with Bella, and when she woke up she'd be pretty upset. Oh, and then there was the fact that Bella was passed out. How could Embry have been so stupid to leave Bella alone with Melody? He knew what kind of reputation she had. Idiot.
Bella woke up, and I told her about what happened earlier. She seemed only a bit upset. I watched as Bella stumbled over to the fighting Embry and Paul. Clearly the girl had forgotten how dangerous two angry young wolves were.

"Damn it Bella, what the hell were you thinking? Something bad could've happened!" Embry yelled from where he was standing. Bella's reply was too soft for me to hear. "Sorry isn't going to fix this!" Embry yelled again and I saw Bella shrink back. What the hell was that asshole's problem? He was the one who invited Bella to Melody's party, and he was the one who joked earlier about Bella getting drunk. I swallowed down my annoyance when I saw Paul pulling a teary Bella into his arms. I quickly stood and brushed the dirt off of my jeans, and then made my way to Embry. "What the hell is wrong with you?" I hissed at him.

He ran his hand through his hair and sighed. "She was acting stupid," he murmured angrily, "What was she thinking?"

Anger surged through me and I shook my finger angrily in Embry's face. "Oh no, you can't go around blaming Bella! You were the one that abandoned her in a strange place to the mercy of Melody! Effing Melody Saunders! No wonder the poor girl ended up drinking," I snapped at him. I shook my head and walked over to Bella and Paul, not bothering to wait for a reply. When Bella turned around I told her, "I'll drive you home." Paul nodded at me with a thankful look and left. I gently grabbed Bella's hand and pulled her to my Toyota. The drive was silent except for the background music and the occasional sniffle from Bella, which I pretended not to hear. We soon arrived in Forks and I parked my car in Charlie's usual place. I helped Bella out of the car and waited while she unlocked the door. I followed her up the stairs and into her room. She immediately fell down onto her bed and breathed in deeply.

"Are you feeling better, Bella?" At her nod, which I didn't really believe, I added, "I'll phone Jared and tell him we've arrived and that they can send one of the boys to keep watch."

She gave a nod but said, "You don't have to."

I glared at Bella. What was she playing at? Maybe the alcohol was still messing with her brain. "Yes, I do," I replied in a hard voice.

"Or," Bella said quietly, "You could stay with me. Keep watch while I slept, you know?"

Now that she mentioned it, it did sound pretty nice. I knew Jared would be so mad at me, but he would get over it. I could be very convincing if I wanted to be. "That would be nice," I finally said. "But I don't have the superhuman strength and speed," I reminded her.

Bella gave this weird little shrug thingy. "So? It's not like anything is going to happen, Kim, and you know it."

"Jared and the pack will be really angry," I said, feeling a little bit uncomfortable. What if something did happen? They would blame me for sure…

Bella, seemingly reading my mind, said, "Kim? Quit worrying. Tell them I forced you or whatever."

After a few more minutes I caved and agreed to stay the night without telling the pack. Bella gave me a pair of really warm sweatpants and a t-shirt that said "I HEART Forks" with a little wolf underneath. It was sort of cute. We chatted for a while about our lives until Bella fell asleep. I leaned over her and put out the light. Her room was dark and I felt a little awkward as I slowly lay back down again. I could feel Bella's body heat and with a frown I realized that she was super hot, almost as hot as the Pack boys. I went over the last couple of days in my head. Bella's been feeling really sick and kept complaining about it. I felt concern for my friend. Was she okay? That was the last thought I had before drifting off into the dream world.

I sat up groggily. Something had woken me but I didn't know what it was. I heard talking and looked up and saw an eerily pale Bella standing next to a gorgeous red-head girl, who was – strangely enough – outside the window. "Are you okay?" I asked Bella sleepily, my eyes still half shut. Bella gave a jerky nod. Jeez, what was the girl's problem? Bella gave me an intense look, as if she was trying to tell me something, but my mind was still too sleepy to make sense of anything. I pushed my hair behind my ears and said, "What's your friend doing outside the window? Invite her in." I yawned and added, "She's pretty."

Bella didn't reply and instead she kept gazing at me with that intense look. I shook my head, hoping that it would help wake me up. It did. I once again looked at the girl and realized what was wrong with the picture. Firstly, she was outside. Secondly, she had deathly pale skin; and last, but not least, her eyes were blood red. As in oooh-I'm-a-vampire-and-I-wanna-suck-your-life-juices red. My whole body froze and a chill went down my spine as I met her eyes, freezing me in place. A shrill scream escaped through my lips and, embarrassingly, I fainted. When I once again regained consciousness we were travelling through the woods at impossible speeds. The wind was ice cold and I began crying. This vampire was going to kill us and it was all Bella's fault! We were going to die. I knew I was thinking irrationally and that it was in no way Bella's fault, but I couldn't stop my panic-filled thoughts. So if it wasn't Bella's fault, then it must be… the Cullens' fault! Yes, the damn vampires were to blame.

Unfortunately I still couldn't stop crying. Bella also started crying now and she kept apologizing. We cried together and, with difficulty, I clutched one of her hands in mine. We were in this together.

The running seemed to go on forever but eventually we did stop. The vamp dropped Bella and then me. I landed painfully on my elbow which brought even more tears to my eyes. I glanced over at Bella, but she was looking around us thoughtfully. I wish I could catch her eye to tell her, one last time, how much I appreciated her being my friend. Even though we hadn't known each other for too long, she was always there for me when I needed her. I could ask her questions about the vampires without the stupid prejudice that the wolves had. She was there for me when Sam yelled at me, or when I had a fight with Jared, or when my parents kicked me out for being pregnant (they accepted me back though after a week). Bella was the only one that knew the real reason I was attending Forks High now, and for that I was really grateful. I've only been pregnant for a short while now and thankfully nobody had noticed. Then I realized that Jared would never find out that he had a child. He would never get to have a baby, and it was all to blame on the Cullens. I was broken out of my thoughts as the beautiful red-head vamp appeared next to me. "Goodbye," she whispered with a small smile and bit into my neck. Her teeth were razor sharp and I let out a piercing scream. It was pretty hard to explain how it felt when your blood was forcefully being drained out of your neck. It was painful, yes, and it was completely terrifying. It felt wrong and unnatural, but somehow it calmed me down, too. I knew that this was my end, and I accepted it.
Suddenly the feeling stopped and the vamp's teeth slipped out of my neck. I screamed as the calmness ebbed away and the pain suddenly increased ten-fold. What was happening?

I heard growling in the background but I was unable to focus on it. The pain was demanding my attention. The venom was spreading slowly through my veins now, and it was absolute torture. My body spasmed with the pain and I allowed another gut-wrenching scream to escape through my lips. What the Hell was happening to me? But then it hit me. A vampire had bitten me to drain my blood. It was interrupted, and its venom was now flowing through my veins. Its venom was changing me into one of them-a soulless bloodsucking monster. Fear clenched my heart. The pack; what would they think of me now? Would they accept me? Would they…kill me? The thought was impossible to even imagine. The pain intensified yet again. I let a strangled gasp escape through my lips. I thought I heard voices but the pain was too excruciating to focus on else. After a while I had the distant feeling of something incredibly warm lifting me up, and then all was lost to me as I succumbed to unconsciousness.

The next time I was back to the world of the living it felt as though the pain had mellowed out a bit. It had left my finger tips and my feet and was slowly but surely making its way to my heart. It was hard to think through the pain but somehow I managed it. Was I going to be alright? Where was Bella? Did the pack know what happened to us? Did they find Bells, and was she dead or alive? My thoughts were interrupted as the venom started attacking my heart and I screamed. I kept on screaming for what felt like forever without even pausing for breath. I sensed other presences in the room with me but that was the least of my problems – and a little while later I could sense them leaving again. I knew without a doubt that my transformation was nearly complete. My scream cut off as my heartbeat stuttered. It beat two more times. Then all was completely silent.

The pain had completely left my body, but I was too scared to open my eyes; too afraid to move as if it would bring the pain back. I breathed in deeply through my nose and immediately wished I hadn't. The room reeked of a wet dog smell and it tickled my nose. Faintly I could also smell a delicious scent that sent my throat on fire, and I knew that it must be human. I jumped up from the bed I was in and I moved so fast that it took my mind a while to process the movement. It sort of freaked me out.

I glanced around the room. It was a pretty basic room decorated in dark wood. On the chair placed near the bed was a book called WISH me DEAD by someone named Helen Grant. I lifted it up to my nose and took a hesitant sniff, then jerked back immediately. A human must've read it quite recently because their spicy scent was all over it. I glanced out of the large window the room had and saw that it was dark, not that it bothered my new vampire eyes. I heard a laugh and my head snapped up, looking for the person from who it came, only to find no one. I felt a little confused as I made my way to the open door and peeked out. The hallway was dark and empty. I followed the sound of laughing down the stairs and into a large room. There were two women and two men in the room, chatting.

The one woman looked upset, while one of the large men was seemingly comforting her. "Listen Callie, Bella is going to come back, alright? She's just upset," he told her quietly. Bella? Could it be my Bella?

"I know Jason, I just… I should never have brought up Forks. She'll never be able to see her friends or family again," the woman – Callie, I reminded myself – said sadly.

I smiled. This was definitely Bella Swan from Forks. But then I frowned, remembering what the Jason guy had said. Bella was going to come back? From where? And more importantly, who were these people? Bella had certainly never mentioned these Quileute look-alikes. Frowning, I opened my mouth to ask what the heck was going on, when a gentle breeze carried the two women's scents) over to me. Immediately my throat was on fire and, without even thinking about it, I charged into the room with my eyes focused on Callie's jugular.
