September

Warnings: None

Copyright: I do not own any Twilight characters or locations. I do own Davina Mikelson and Marcel. I also own the backstory for my OC. I do not condone any copying of this.

Davina P.O.V.

I rushed into the hospital, specifically Carlisle Cullen's office. "So sorry I'm late Doctor." I said, dashing to the file cabinet so that I could grab the work I was supposed to be doing. "I had a timed test for one of my classes and I only just got it done."

Carlisle laughed, "It's not a problem Davina. You're only five minutes late."

"Five minutes and it's my first day." I pointed out, breathing hard as I sat down gently on the couch, trying not to flop down.

I had graduated from Forks High School last May and had applied to some online courses so that I didn't have to go in person to college. Carlisle thought it was him that was keeping me from having 'real life college experience', but it wasn't. I just didn't feel like leaving the small town that was like a whole world of its' own.

I had also started being a bit more than an intern at the hospital, but as I still wasn't a full fledged doctor, I was still considered an intern. But now, I was allowed to work with real patients- if it wasn't serious- and also learn more about medicines.

Not to mention I was also the mother of vampires and werewolves.

Yes, vampires and werewolves. None of them were actually my biological children- vampires being created by venom and werewolves having real parents- but regardless, I was the mother of both groups.

On the vampire side, it made sense. Carlisle was like the father of Rosalie, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, and Edward and his sister Esme was like their Aunt. So, as I was dating Carlisle, it sort've made me the mother.

With the werewolves on the other hand- there were only three: Jared, Paul, and Sam. Sam was my brother and he was also the leader of the werewolf pack. But somehow, I had become a mother figure to Jared and Paul. They always came to me about problems- Paul had a lot of them- and so there was that.

Not that I minded. I really liked my position in the vampire and werewolf tribes, even if they weren't very traditionally. Dating a vampire. Being a werewolf's sister. . . even if we weren't related.

"How did the test go?" Carlisle asked, looking up from his work. Merlin he was so hot in his white coat and light blue shirt.

"Uh a 95.6%." I said with a slight frown, "They didn't tell me what I got wrong though so that was a little annoying."

"That's a good grade." Carlisle said. "Good job."

I tried not to beam with pride.

"Oh yeah, were you able to get Bella's birthday present?" I asked after a few minutes. I had forgotten what had been nagging me and this was it.

"Yes I did." Carlisle said with a smile.

"How much were the tickets?" I asked, looking up at him.

"Don't worry about it." Carlisle said.

I tsked, "Carlisle, it's not a present from both of us if I didn't help pay for it."

"Yes it is." Carlisle argued. "Besides, I don't mind."

I hesitated but didn't really feel like arguing if he truly was fine with taking the bulk of the payment for the airplane tickets. Plus, Alice gave me a $5000 dress as a gift so I supposed $828 dollar plane tickets was pocket change.

Alice also never let anyone wear anything twice in her family. So, I would take the mens' clothes, wash them several times before putting them in boxes in the attic. I planned to give them to Sam after a few months so that one, the vampire smell would be out of them after some time and two, Sam would be able to give them to any of the boys who started having no clothing due to wolfing out so much.

For Alice, Rosalie, and Esme's clothes- I kept the ones I liked and fit. The others I made money off of at the thrift store. The really pricey ones I sold on Amazon.

I finished my work quickly, filing it away before kissing Carlisle good-bye and headed back to the Cullen house.

Once home, I headed up to Carlisle and mine bedroom- well really more mine as Carlisle didn't sleep- and looked for something to wear tonight for Bella's birthday.

I wore a white, thin sleeved shirt with a pleated plaid skirt. I wore a cream coloured sweater over that along with similar coloured shoes with dark brown laces. I did my own makeup today, doing a light covering before curling my dark brown hair into the curls that Carlisle loved so much.

[Ignore basically anything that wasn't in above description]

It was late, Alice was decorating downstairs. Carlisle had come in at some point, leaning against the doorframe to watch me curl my hair. I ignored him so I didn't burn myself and only turned to acknowledge his presence once I'd unplugged the curling iron.

"Hey love." Carlisle said, holding out his arms and I eagerly walked forward into his embrace.

"Hey Ravenclaw." I grinned. I had made all of the Cullens take Pottermore tests and Carlisle- as expected- was a Ravenclaw. It was now my nickname for him.

"Alice is going slightly overboard." Carlisle said with a sigh. "I'm afraid Bella might have a stroke."

"Well, good thing there is a doctor at home." I said, standing up on my tip toes to press my lips to his. "I'll be downstairs in a moment, okay?"

"Yes." Carlisle said and he was gone without even the slightest ruffle of a breeze.

I grinned at myself in the mirror, wiping away some excess blush and then headed out of the bedroom.

I heard voices and I headed over to one of the other rooms where Edward and Bella were standing, gazing at one of the pictures I hadn't had a chance to look at yet.

". . .thing to royalty my world has." Edward was saying.

Bella looked at the picture and then asked with slight hesitation, "Is that Carlisle?"

I moved so that I could see the painting. It was rather large, taking up room almost floor to ceiling, though not wide.

It depicted a scene of three vampires looking out over a balcony, one leaning against a pillar standing a respectful distance back: two blonds, two black.

While the three wearing more extravagant clothes looked rather proper, tall, and proud, the one in the back looked uncomfortable and small, looking pained about the humans dying beneath him.

I knew the one in the front was Aro. The leader of sorts while the one standing to the back and left of him was Marcus, his hair longer and curlier. The blond was Caius and to me, he looked a bit like Lucius Malfoy, just with red eyes and not nearly as handsome.

And of course, the vampire leaning against the pillar was Carlisle. The love of my life. He wasn't wearing extravagant clothes, but he still looked more handsome than the others. His coat was brown, the white cravat around his neck, the shirt underneath a dull yellow that matched his pants. And of course, because of the time period this was painted, they had the knee high socks and black pilgrim shoes as I called them.

"Yeah. He lived with them for a few decades." Edward answered. "Described 'em as very refined. No respect for human life, of course. But a respect for the arts and the sciences, at least. And the law. Above all, the law."

"Vampires have laws?" Bella asked.

I continued to gaze at Carlisle's figure, almost as though it was moving, his head turning from the crowd below.

"Not very many." Edward replied. "And only one that's regularly enforced."

"What is it?" Bella asked.

"That we keep the existence of our kind a secret." Edward responded. "We don't make spectacles of ourselves. And we don't kill conspicuously. Unless of course, you want to die."

"You got to stop talking about that," Bella said, and I took that as my cue to leave.

I quickly hurried through the hallway, vaulting off the stairs. "Em Bear!"

Emmett was there in millisecond, catching me before I could crash on the floor. "You gotta keep doing that Mama bear. You're going to give Carlisle a heart attack."

"Don't you mean stop doing it?" I questioned with a laugh as Emmett set me down on the floor.

"Nope because I would love to see if vampires actually can get heart attacks." Emmett teased.

Emmett was wearing a gray shirt with a tight black vest over it and black dress pants. I looked him up and down and said, "I approve. Did Ali force you to dress that way or Rose?"

"Neither. I know how to dress myself for special occasions." Emmett protested.

I raised a skeptical eyebrow as Carlisle zoomed behind me, putting his arms around my waist.

"Alright, maybe Alice pushed me in the right direction." Emmett complained.

"Mmmm." Was all I said as Carlisle rested his chin on my shoulder.

"Please don't launch yourself from high places." Carlisle muttered in my ear.

"Aww." I said, turning around to press my forehead to his. "Don't worry Carlisle. I would've landed on my feet."

I felt a growl start up in Carlisle's chest and I pressed my lips to his quickly before pulling away.

Esme, Rose, Ali, and Jaz walked into the room at that moment.

Rosalie was wearing a simple black dress and a gold necklace, walking over rather dejectedly to stand beside Emmett who looked ecstatic to see her. I smiled. Alice meanwhile darted up the stairs to get Bella. Jasper stood by himself and Esme gradually came over to stand with me and her brother.

"You look beautiful Esme." I said, taking in her red hair and purple dress.

As everyone else was wearing dresses, I felt sort of out of place wearing the rather normal skirt and shirt. Oh well.

"So do you." Esme said, giving me a hug.

Alice led Bella down the stairs, Bella stopping at the top when she saw the living room.

It was a bit much in my opinion and I was so sincerely glad that I had never told Alice when my birthday was. Carlisle and I had gone out on a secret date instead.

There were candles on every desk along with these large bouquets of flowers. Carlisle looked at me with a knowing smile at Bella's face. I smirked back.

Carlisle and I approached Bella first and he said, "Sorry about all this. We tried to reign Alice in." He took her hands, squeezing them.

"As if that were even possible." Esme and I said together. Esme hugged her first, and then I did.

"Happy Birthday Bella!" Esme said.

"Thanks." Bella sounded so over her birthday already.

Everyone turned as there was a clicking noise and Alice said apologetically, "I found it in your bag. You mind?"

"Dating an older woman. Hot." Emmett said to Edward.

I snorted, "Em bear. . ."

Things got awkward quickly. It seemed only Alice had an enthusiasm for tonight, dancing around to get a present, pretty much forcing it into Rosalie's hand and saying, "You first Rosalie."

Rose quickly held it out to Bella and said, "It's a necklace. Alice picked it out."

"I want cake." I muttered quietly so that only the vampires can hear me, and Carlisle and Jasper chuckled.

"Thanks." Bella said.

Alice dragged Edward over to take a picture of the two of them together and I turned to Carlisle, putting my hands on his shoulders. I stared up at him with a small smile on his face, tuning out the world behind me.

Until Alice said, "Open Davina and Carlisle's."

I turned, coming to stand by Bella's side, bouncing up and down on the balls of my feet.

"Just a little something to brighten your day." Carlisle said softly.

"Yes, because you've been looking kind of. . . pale lately." I smirked. Emmett laughed behind me.

Bella had difficulty opening it up, and when she finally did, she let out a little 'ow', holding up her hand to show blood running down her finger. "Paper cut," was all she said before turning back to open up the airplane tickets.

I felt my body stiffen because there was now blood exposed. I turned to look at Jasper- because he was the one I was most worried about with bloodlust being an emotion- and saw that his eyes were slowly darkening.

Only Edward seemed to notice as I went to stand in front of Bella. He pushed, missing Bella, hitting me, sending me crashing into Bella, both of us slamming into the back wall. I was on my feet in an instant, ignoring the glass in my wounds. Edward slammed Jasper backwards so that he crashed into the piano, breaking it.

Carlisle went to grab him, missing, though Emmett managed to wrap one arm around Jasper's waist.

And then I was there, right in front of Jasper, holding his face in my hands. "Jasper." I said quietly. "Jasper look at me."

Jasper tried to focus his eyes on me. "Don't breathe." I whispered. "Close off that sense. Keep your eyes on me."

Blood steadily dripped from my arm from the glass, making Carlisle's eyes flicker a little.

"Jasper, look at me." I continued as Edward zoomed to Bella's side. "Emmett, slowly let go of Jasper."

Emmett did as I commanded and I started moving forwards, pushing Jasper a little until he was walking backwards on his own and we were out of the house.

Once we were out in the fresh air, the tension seemed to disappear and I pulled Jasper into a hug. "It's alright Jaz, you're okay."

Jasper let out a stuttering breath. "I am weak Mama."

"No, no you're not. You're new. Carlisle has had three hundred years of practice and everyone's blood tests someone differently. Carlisle almost lost it with my blood in there too. It's practice Jasper. Practice makes perfect. If it takes you ten years, twenty years, another century, it doesn't mean you're weak. You have your own difficulties to deal with. All the other vampires in there had to deal with the lust of Bella's blood too. It just heightens yours as well."

"You're bleeding." Jasper said softly.

"Yes, but I'll be alright. My blood only seems to tempt Carlisle. You don't want to drink it, do you?"

Jasper paused, giving a tentative sniff, before shaking his head, "It doesn't. . . it doesn't appeal the way it should."

"You okay?" Alice asked, coming to stand out as well. Rosalie, Esme, and Emmett disappeared out into the forest.

"I'm going to go see Carlisle, you can take things from here." I told Ali, kissing Jasper's cheek.

Edward came out too, looking dead inside. I went to touch his shoulder but he was gone in a flash, leaving me hurt and confused.

I made my way up the stairs as I heard small clinking sounds coming from Carlisle's office. I stopped outside the door, listening.

". . . been away from human blood as long as the rest of us." Carlisle explained softly.

"How do you do it?" Bella asked.

"Years and years of practice." Carlisle sighed.

"Did you ever think of just doing it the easy way?" Bella asked.

"No." Carlisle said simply.

I looked into the office and saw Bella gripping his shirt, her arm extended. He was busy stitching up her wound.

"I knew who I wanted to be. I wanted to help people. Brings me happiness. Even if I am damned regardless."

He had never told me that. That he feared he was damned.

"Damned? Like hell?" Bella questioned.

Carlisle didn't answer.

"Carlisle you couldn't be damned. You couldn't. It's impossible."

"Thank you, Bella. You've always been very gracious about us." Carlisle said.

"So that's it?" Bella asked after a moment. "That's why he won't change me?"

"Imagine the situation in reverse." Carlisle touched her chin, making my heart clench in. . . was that jealousy? Surely not. . .

He moved away, grabbing a stick, lighting it on fire, and dipping it into the bowl of blood and gauze.

"If you believed as Edward does, could you take away his soul?"

I stepped away from the office, moving quietly down to the bedroom.

Carlisle P.O.V.

I knew Davina heard every word between us and when I touched Bella's chin, I heard her heart skip. I hoped she didn't think I didn't love her. I did. I loved Davina immensely.

Davina's footsteps moved away from the office, moving upstairs towards our bedroom.

Edward came back to drive Bella home and I went upstairs to the bedroom.

"Davina?" I asked, stepping into the room.

She looked up from her position on the floor. She was sitting near the footstool, a pair of tweezers in her hand, pulling the glass from her own wound, dropping it into a small bowl like the one I had used with Bella.

"Hey." She whispered softly, putting the tweezers down, running a wet cloth over the wound to clean it before she reached for a needle and some thread.

I was by her side in an instant, "I hope you weren't going to try and stitch it up yourself."

Normally she would make some sort of joke, give me a teasing smile. Instead, she simply shrugged, leaning her head back. That troubled me and I picked up the needle, starting to work gently on her arm.

I smelled something different, salt water, and I looked around for the source and saw Davina had tears running down her face.

"Davina!" I asked in alarm. "Are you alright? If the needle-"

"It's not the needle." Davina murmured, opening her dark eyes to meet mine. I finished off the stitches, lighting the blood and such on fire, feeling I could breathe easier now.

"What is it?" I asked as she climbed into my lap, wrapping her arms underneath mine, squeezing my hips with her legs, burying her head into my shoulder.

"Do you. . . do you think you are damned?"

"I believe that if I redeem myself, then no, I am not damned." I said softly.

"What could you possibly have to redeem yourself from!" Davina cried. "You're perfect. You've never killed a single person. You save people in hospitals. You try and help people! You do help people! If you think you're damned then I have no hope."

I was surprised by this outburst. I wanted to tell her that there was nothing she could've done in her life that would condemn her to hell- except becoming a vampire- but I knew I didn't know everything about her.

"Davina. . ." I said softly, stroking her hair back behind her ear.

"Carlisle." Another voice said and we both looked up to see Edward there. "We need to speak. As a family. Davina, you should go home."

Davina's face showed a little hurt and confusion. They all called her mom or equivalents. Never Davina- not after she accepted to be their mom anyways. This wasn't good.

I kissed her firmly and said, "I love you."

"I love you 3000." She said with a small smile.

"I actually got that one." I muttered, standing, helping her to her feet.

She grinned, "Marvel fan eh? Should've known. I'll see you at work tomorrow." She kissed me cheek, touched Edward's shoulder gently, her face dropping slightly when he didn't respond to her, and then walked down the stairs.

"Edward-" I started but he cut me off.

"We need to leave." Edward said.

"I'm not leaving Davina." I said sharply, vamping down to the living room where the rest of the family was waiting. Jasper was standing next to Alice, looking upset. Emmett and Rosalie had already packed. Esme looked torn.

"Carlisle, you know we have to leave." Edward said. "Bella and Davina will be better off if we leave."

"Whoa wait." Emmett said. "We're leaving Mama bear behind?"

"We have to Emmett." Edward said. "They'll be better off."

"Edwards right." I muttered. Everyone's heads spun to me.

"Wait, what?" Rose asked. "I don't like Bella, but mom-"

"We're leaving." I insisted.

'WHOA NO WE AREN'T!!' Lord shouted inside of me. 'WE'RE NOT LEAVIG OUR MATE!'

"Carlisle." Esme warned.

"What happened to Bella could've been Davina. In fact, it did happen to Davina and it would've been worse if Bella hadn't softened some of the blow. We're leaving tonight and we're doing it to protect both of them."

"I'll tell them at the same time." Edward said. "After school tomorrow."

I nod, "Tell her- Davina- that we'll keep in touch, I'm not breaking up with her. I have her phone number after all. And that I'll come and visit before spring break hits."

Without waiting to see if Edward would listen to me, I made my way up to the office so that I could cover my art pieces and furniture.

Davina P.O.V.

I didn't have work at the hospital and I got a text from Edward that said he wanted to meet me at Bella's house.

I frowned, but told Bella I'd follow her home. Upon arriving there, Edward was still in the clothes that he had been wearing at the party last night- a dark blue button up shirt with black dress pants and a black dress coat- and I realized that he wasn't here to deliver pleasant news.

"Hey." Bella said.

He wouldn't look at either us, shifting his head towards the forest and said, "Come take a walk with me."

Bella and I walked after him, deep into the forest, but not to far, just enough that we could just make out the path back towards the house.

Edward stopped walking finally, not looking at us still. After a few moments of awkward waiting he said, "We have to leave Forks."

Well, that was fine. I was doing online college so I could do my college while traveling. It might mean that I would have to reveal my secret before I was ready so that they understood the hate or the love I got from people but that was alright if it meant that I got to keep Carlisle. I didn't really have any other family besides Sam anyways so it didn't matter to much if I had to leave.

"Why?" Bella asked.

"Carlisle's supposed to be ten years older than he looks." Edward said, putting his hands in his pockets. I leaned against a tree, glad for the thick blue rain jacket I was wearing that protected my clothing from the moss. "And people are starting to notice."

Okay. That made sense. Was he really trying to pose as forty-three though? I don't know. He looked like he should've said he was twenty-five.

Edward was finally staring Bella in the face, completely avoiding me and I suddenly had a very bad feeling about this. . . why hadn't Carlisle come to say this to me? Why was Edward having to tell both Bella and I?

"Okay. . ." Bella sounded confused, but still steady. "I've got to think of something to say to Charlie."

When Edward didn't answer, it hit her and me both. "When you say 'we'. . ."

"I mean my family and myself." Edward finished Bella's statement.

"Edward, what happened with Jasper, it's nothing." Bella protested.

"You're right. It was nothing." Edward said, staring at a spot on the forest floor that was between her and me. "Nothing but what I always expected. And nothing compared to what could of happened." He finally glanced at me, "Carlisle agrees. You two just don't belong in our world."

I found I had nothing I could say but Bella did, "I belong with you."

"No. You don't." Edward continued.

I took a step back. That was why Carlisle hadn't come. Carlisle had never struck me as a coward. But he didn't even have the courage to tell me he no longer loved me to my face.

I could pretty much feel my heart breaking in two and now, I was certain of why I felt sick the way I had all day. Because Carlisle was gone and the soulmate bond knew it, even if I hadn't. And somehow, the knowledge of it seemed to hurt even more because of it.

"I'm coming." Bella gritted out.

"Bella leave it." I whispered out. Why would she go if he obviously didn't want her?

"Bella. . . I don't want you to come."

I wanted to leave, but my feet didn't seem to want to move.

"You don't want me?" Bella asked, trying to sound out the words.

"No."

"That changes things. A lot."

"But if it's not to much to ask. Can you just promise me something? Don't do anything reckless. For Charlies' sake. And I'll promise you both something in return- this will be the last time you see any of us. None of us will come back. And you can go on with your life without any interference from us. It will be like. . . we never existed. I promise."

Bella couldn't seem to accept it. But I had accepted it the moment we'd come into the forest. "If this is about my soul, take it. I don't want it without you!"

"Its not about your soul. You're just not good for me. And Davina terrible for Carlisle."

"Not good enough for you." Bella changed.

"I'm just sorry I let this go on for so long." Edward said.

Sound seemed to stop working in my ears. The way that the sound had stopped when the bombs had gone off. Like my eardrums had ruptured.

Pure silence, pure bliss. There was a haze swimming in front of my eyes, a pain stabbing me in the stomach.

No.

I had sworn I would never let myself get hurt like this again! NOT AGAIN!

I looked up and saw both Edward and Bella were gone. Edward- my son, my youngest son- had left no footprints. But Bella's led deeper into the forest.

Looking up, I saw the sky had grown darker. Ah shit, I had been out of it for a long time.

I struggled to my feet. Alright, I would go and find Bella. I had to find Bella and bring her back before Charlie sent out a search party for her.

I struggled forward, my eyes glued to the prints of her rainboots. Thank Forks for constant mud even when there was no rain.

After some time though- I had no idea how long as the pain in my stomach made everything seem worse- the prints started to disappear and I looked around wildly. I was hopelessly lost.

"Shit." I cursed. I was so angry, I wanted to punch something. I was angry at Carlisle for leaving me. I was angry at Bella for trailing farther in. I was angry at Em, Rose, Jaz, Ali, and Eddie for leaving me- their supposed mother. I was mad at Esme for not convincing her brother to stay. I was mad at myself for falling in love.

I was mad at myself for not dying when I should've.

"Bella!" I called, trying to find her. It was starting to rain again, tears and water rushing down my face, obscuring my vision. I pulled the jacket around me tighter, tripping over a log and falling flat on my face.

Part of me just wanted to lie there, stay there, but I couldn't. I wiped mud from my face, anger spiking up inside of me. It felt hot. It felt like something, something animal-like, wanted to burst from my skin.

And then another spike of pain washed over me, making me cold again and I continued on.

Finally, I spotted her, curled up in a ball. Thank God she was wearing a yellow rain jacket.

I slid down the muddy bank. My shoes were totally ruined, my hair a mess, mud covering my entire front. I was so glad I hadn't worn anything nice today.

I heard growling and froze, pulling out my pocket knife like that would do anything, looking around wildly, inching closer to Bella.

The black wolf appeared and I let out a sigh of relief, putting the small blade back in my pocket as Sam morphed back. I looked upwards as he put his jeans on.

"Davina, are you alright?" Sam asked, looking my body up and down and the mess that I was in.

"No, not really." I said, trying not to cry. "Sam. . . Carlisle left."

I swallowed hard, taking in a shaking breath and wiped under my eyes. "And Edward came to tell the both of us and I think she chased after him."

"Davina, I'm sorry." Sam said softly.

I shook my head, "No. It's my fault. I should never have fallen for him in the first place. I swore I'd never fall for someone again and I did so it's my bloody fault."

Sam knelt down to scoop Bella up in his arms.

"Just follow me. Don't fall okay?" Sam asked.

I nodded, following him. He found a shorter route out of the forest, ending in front of Charlie's house were lots of people had gathered for a search party. Charlie ran over.

"She's all right." Sam said in an authoritative voice as Charlie tried taking Bella into his arms, "I've got her. Thank you Sam."

I stayed by Sam's side, watching as Harry Clearwater gave him the slightest of nods.

"Let's get you home." Sam muttered.

"My bikes in the driveway." I whispered.

I climbed on behind Sam and he drove towards my house. I now had a pounding headache too, along with the pain in my chest.

"Sam, pull over." I groaned. "SAM!"

He pulled over with a screeching halt and I fell off the bike, the pain exploding and I threw up several times.

"Davina!"

I held out a hand, testing to see if I was going to throw up anymore. "Sam. . . I don't. . . I don't feel good. The soulmate bond. . ."

"Soulmate bond?" Sam questioned, holding my face in his hands. "What soulmate bond?"

"Jasper. . . he said that Carlisle and I had something called a third tier soulmate bond. It's the. . . the strongest bond. And that a separation of great distance would cause the female and the male pain, but the female more. . . I don't remember everything exactly. But there is so much pain Sam." I started to cry.

Sam gathered me up in his arms, climbing back on the bike, zooming faster towards my house.

He parked the bike sloppily, opening the door and rushing me upstairs. I wasn't entirely sure what was happening until he sat me down on the edge of the tub, turning the water on, plugging the drain so that it would fill up.

"Do you want me to stay?" Sam asked.

"It's okay." I murmured, "We both know. . . yes please stay."

Sam pretty much had to undress me because I was slowly losing it. I wasn't sure why. I had never felt anything like this before. I mean, I had felt heart break but I hadn't reacted like this before. Last time had just been a lot of anger, feeling red hot- sometimes almost getting as hot as Sam felt- before another emotion quickly set in to make it go away.

"S-Sam?" I choked out as he slid me into the hot water.

"Yes?"

"When you. . . the first time you transformed, what did it feel like?"

Sam was quiet for a moment and then said, "I. . . I felt this pressure building up inside of me. I was scared, terrified. I had no idea what it was. I didn't know if it was hormones or what. And then I got angry and I turned. I spent three weeks as a wolf before I turned back. Though I'd gone crazy. Then the council leaders met with me, told me what had happened, why I had become what I am and that was because of vampires. If there's a vampire, you need a werewolf. To keep balance."

"I see." I responded, shivering despite the warm water. The headache was even worse now and I cried out, pressing my fingers to my temples on either side of my head like it would make the headache go away.

"Davina!"

"It hurts so badly Sam." I cried weakly. "How am I going to keep going? I've only felt like this for a few hours and I just want to fall asleep and not wake up! How can I go like this for weeks! For months! Will it be like this for the rest of my life?"

Sam's eyes were tortured, staring down at me. He smoothed my long hair back. "It's okay. It's going to be okay. I'm here."

I don't know if I fell asleep in the bath tub or if I passed out. Regardless, the next day I woke up in my bed, Sam asleep on the floor next to me. A week passed of pain, crying, screaming, and Sam's tortured eyes, trying to get me to eat and drink. I wanted to- but it was like I physically couldn't.

And then after a week- the pain stopped.
