A/N: This one gets pretty sad, but the ending makes up for it I promise! I did venture a little out of my comfort zone for this one but I hope you guys still like it!😊
She could feel her heart pounding.
Hard pants leaving her lips as she ran.
The sounds of her footsteps pounding against the concrete sidewalk.
The monster watching her run, laughing at her feeble attempts to get away.
She knew it was useless, god was she stupid.
A gargled cry left her lips as the creature grabbed her arm roughly, a crack echoing through the empty streets as it snapped.
The scream about to leave her was cut off by a hand wrapping around her throat, squeezing roughly.
“Too bad the mutts couldn’t save you.” It teased.
It wasn’t supposed to end like this.
A tear rolled down her cheek as a single thought crossed her mind.
Y/N walked into Emily’s house carrying five boxes of pizza, Paul trailing behind her carrying another eight. “We brought food!” She called.
Sam came over, grabbing a couple of boxes as Jared and Embry did the same.
“You’re a life saver Y/N.” Emily gushed as she hugged the woman.
“You need a break once in a while.” She responded.
“Paul you’ve got the best imprint!” Quil commented, mouth full of sausage pizza.
“Trust me I know.” Said man chuckled and wrapped his arms around Y/N’s waist, resting his head on her hers.
“You guys aren’t going to eat?” Sam asked as he grabbed some slices for himself.
“We went through three boxes already.”
“You went through three boxes.” Y/N laughed rolling her eyes. “I had a sub.”
“Thank you Y/N!” Seth said as he grabbed a box to share with Leah.
Leah sent the girl a smile and a nod before she dug in as well.
A chorus of “Thanks!” And “You’re the best!” erupted from the group.
“No problem you guys.” Y/N said before giving Paul a quick peck. “I’ll see you in a bit, yeah?”
“You’re leaving already?” Leah asked.
“Yeah, I’ve gotta get to work. Those pizzas didn’t pay for themselves.” She joked.
Paul frowned and hugged her tightly. “Why can’t you call out? Just for today?” He nuzzled himself into the crook of her neck.
“It’s only a six hour shift today. You’ll see me when I get out.” She ran her fingers through his hair.
“Gross get a room!” Embry yelled.
Y/N rolled her eyes before gently pushing Paul away. “I’ll see you at home.” She said before waving goodbye to others and leaving the house.
Why didn’t she stay with Paul? Why didn’t she call out of work?
Her good arm trembled as she tried to reach for her phone subtly, the hand around her throat tightening.
“What do we have here?” She whimpered as her last shred of hope was crushed, her phone ripped away from her hand and thrown against the ground, shattering like her heart.
“Oops.” The vampire taunted.
Y/N grabbed the other half of the sub she hadn’t finished from earlier from the mini fridge in the break room, putting it into the microwave as she grabbed her phone.
She dialed the familiar number of her boyfriend, the phone ringing twice before she heard his smooth voice on the other end.
“Hey! I’m on my break, thought I’d give you a call.”
“A pain in the ass. Can’t wait for cuddles.” She sighed grabbing her plate from the microwave and sitting down.
“No I only have 10 minutes left, I was a little late.” She hummed as she bit into her sandwich.
“Are you walking home today?”
“Yeah, I’ll be okay though. It’s only a couple blocks away. You have patrol, don’t worry about it.”
“Alright be careful. You don’t know what’s out there.”
“I’ll be fine.” She waved him off, though he couldn’t see her.
“I know I just... I worry.” He sighed.
“In a few hours we’ll be cuddling together before you know it.”
“Love you too.” She responded, hanging up the phone and quickly finishing her lunch.
She cleaned up and stretched her legs before walking back to her cubicle.
The vampire exposed her neck, breathing in her scent as he rubbed his cheek against her bare skin.
Y/N snapped, the fear she felt quickly dissolving into anger. “Let me go!” She growled, squirming in his grasp. “Somebody help me!” She screamed.
“Guess you’re not into foreplay. Too bad, I like playing with my food.” The mans fangs tore through her skin, an agonizing screech echoing throughout the block.
Her legs gave out beneath her, his strong arms holding her up as he groaned against her neck.
She could feel the blood leaving her body, her mind becoming blurry. “S-stop... please.” She whimpered.
A black spot clouded her vision. She was going to die. This was it.
The spot began to get bigger, almost like it was running towards her. Wait... that’s not a spot, that’s a wolf!
“Sam...” she mumbled, the vampire quickly being torn away from her. She fell to the ground, her head smacking against the concrete.
She was met with the golden eyes of Carlisle Cullen. The feeling of his arms lifting her up faint. “Y/N I’m going to help you okay?”
She could barely recognize the world spinning as the once dark alley turned into a room. Carlisle laid her on the bed a sigh escaping him. “Emmett!” He yelled.
The dark haired vampire entered the room.
“Hold her down. I’m going to try and extract the venom.”
Emmett nodded, gently grabbing the girls wrists.
“W-what?” Her eyes widened as Carlisle opened his mouth, his fangs glistening. “No please!” She cried, using the last of her strength to feebly break free.
“This will help you.” Carlisle assured, his fangs filling the empty holes in her neck.
The familiar feeling of her blood leaving her body had Y/N crying. Her eyes closing shut as she succumbed to darkness.
Edward rushed into the room, putting his hand on Carlisle’s shoulder. “It’s to late.”
Carlisle reluctantly retracted from the young woman, Emmett gently letting go of her wrists.
“W-what?” Paul felt bile raise in his throat as he processed the new information.
“It was too late. We can’t stop the transformation.” Edward repeated solemnly.
Embry let out a growl. “You didn’t try hard enough! You did it with Bella! Do it with Y/N!”
Seth let his head fall as he rubbed away the oncoming tears.
Sam gulped, the image of Y/N’s face scrunched in pain as he watched that monster try to suck her dry. If only he’d been there in time.
“It’s not your fault.” Edward reassured.
Sam shook off the stares from the other members as Jared spoke up.
“There has to be another way.” He pleaded.
“You want us to kill her instead?” Rosalie snapped. “You’re lucky we got there in time.”
“It was your kind that did this to her!” Paul yelled, his body shaking.
“Paul calm down.” Sam put his hand on the young mans shoulder.
“Calm down!? Y/N’s a blood sucking monster!”
“She’s still Y/N!” Leah sneered.
“Not anymore.” Paul retorted.
“Are you serious right now? That’s your imprint and my friend that you’re talking about.” Leah scoffed
“Maybe I don’t want her as an imprint anymore!” Paul huffed.
“I agree with Leah, you’re being selfish.” Sam reprimanded.
“She was just attacked and all you can think about is the fact she isn’t human anymore!?” Rosalie clenched her fists.
“She fought until her very last breath. She was scared and alone in a house full of creatures like the one that just took away her life. You want to know what her last thoughts were? They were of you Paul. Think about that.” Edward stalked off, Rosalie following behind as she gave Paul a disgusted look.
“Tell me when she’s awake.” Leah huffed as she left the house, Seth following close behind.
Paul let out a grumble as he left soon after, phasing as soon as he walked off the porch.
“Paul!” Quil wheezed as he ran up to him.
“What?” Paul sneered giving his pack mate a once over.
“There’s a couple of girls on the beach! Hot girls dude!” Quil put his hands on his knees as he caught his breath.
“So? We have patrol in an hour.” Paul rolled his eyes.
“Did I mention hot?” Quil nudged Paul’s shoulder. “Come on! Atleast be a wingman! Just this once I promise!” He whined.
“Whatever dude, you owe me.” Paul let out a sigh as he followed Quil to the beach.
A couple minutes later the boys were walking up to a couple of girls. One of them had Y/H/C colored hair and Y/S/C skin. She was holding a volley ball in her hand as she chatted with her friend. The smile on her face made Paul’s heart race.
“Hello ladies!” Quil strutted up to the pair, putting his arm around the pretty girl Paul had noticed.
She shrugged off his arm, “No thanks.” She mumbled turning back to her friend.
Quil didn’t let the rejection stop him as he wedged his way in between the two. “I’m Quil, and the loner over there is Paul. You are?”
“Ouch.” Paul snickered, shutting his mouth when the the girl gave him a glare, their eyes meeting.
The world around him shifted and all he could see was her. He could hear her laugh and feel the warmth of her arms around his neck. Her soft lips on his and her hair tickling his chin as she cuddled up to him. The air in his lungs dissipated as he came to the realization that she was his imprint.
The image of Quil’s arm around his imprints shoulders angered beyond belief. “Quil get off of her.” He growled, the boy quickly moving away from the girl.
Paul wiped his sweaty palms on his shorts, suddenly feeling self conscious about his choice of clothing, or lack of that is. “I-I’m sorry about him. I’m Paul Lahote.” He held out his hand.
“Y/N.” The girl said slowly as she shook his hand.
“I don’t usually do this but, how about I take you out as an apology.” He rubbed the back of his neck, looking towards his friend who gave him a thumbs up.
Paul sat down. How could he be so stupid? Why would he even say that about the love of his life?
A whimper left his lips as he thought of Y/N scared and alone. He wasn’t there for her, he should’ve been there for her. He growled before getting up, letting himself shift back as he grabbed a pair of shorts hidden in one of the tree trunks that surrounded him.
He wiped the dirt off of himself as he made his way towards the Cullen residence.
A few minutes later he made his way to the door, knocking lightly.
Alice answered with a smile. “I saw you coming!” She gushed as she grabbed his arm and all but dragged him into the house.
“Is she awake?” He asked, ignoring the iciness of Alice’s hand.
“Not yet. You can stay out here if you want to wait for her.”
Paul shook his head. “I wanna see her.” He mumbled.
Carlisle cleared his throat as he appeared beside the two. “That’s not a good idea. Her blood lust will be powerful, you’ll be in danger when she wakes.”
“I’m not asking.” Paul warned.
“He’ll be fine.” Alice chimed in knowingly.
Carlisle nodded as he led Paul into the room Y/N currently laid in. His breath hitched as he took her in. Her usual eye bags from working late hours were gone, the few stress marks she had, vanished. Her hair was fuller and healthier as was her nails. The scar on her leg she’d gotten from messing with Embry a year ago was barely visible. She looked more alive than she did when her heart actually beat.
Carlisle walked out of the room, leaving Paul to his thoughts.
Paul pulled up a chair, cautiously grabbing Y/N’s hand, not in the fear of her new found self but in the fear of breaking her in such a fragile state.
“I’m sorry.” He mumbled, eyes watering as he rubbed her ice cold fingers. “I didn’t mean it. You’re the only imprint I want, I couldn’t ask for anyone better. I was... I-I’m just scared. It’s selfish, because you’re probably terrified.” He shivered at the thought.
“I don’t know what you’re going through but I want to help you in any way I can.” Paul wiped away a few tears as his voice cracked. “I remember how your face lit up when Jacob told you about Bella’s wedding. You told me our wedding just had to be outside as well. And no matter how much we disliked the leeches you wanted Alice to help you with your dress because Bella looked amazing. I think you’d look gorgeous in anything if I’m being honest.” He let out a watery chuckle. “I’m sorry if I don’t show you enough love. God, I love you so much, more than you’d ever know. I couldn’t ask for anyone better to share my life with.” Paul let out a few sniffles.
The vampires in the house gave eachother solemn glances as Alice walked towards the room, lightly knocking on the door.
Paul quickly wiped his eyes and dropped Y/N’s hand before clearing his throat. “Come in.” He called.
Alice walked in, giving him a sad smile. “She’s going to awake soon. You’ll want to go.”
“I-I can’t leave her.” He pleaded.
“She’ll be okay. We’ll call you when you can come back.” Alice lightly pat his arm as he relunctantly got up.
He got up to leave before turning towards the short vamp. “Thank you.” He hummed before leaving the house.
It had been almost half a day when Paul got the call, his anxiety skyrocketing as he made his way to the Cullen residence. He took a deep breath before knocking on the door Carlisle answering.
“She’s in the room.” He said letting Paul walk past.
He took a deep breath as he stood outside the door, slowly opening it.
He was met with the sight of Y/N sat on the bed, a cup of red liquid in her hand as she met his eyes. “Hi.” She rasped.
“Y/N...” Paul mumbled running up to her and squeezing her in a hug.
She hesitantly hugged him back, squeezing just a little too hard. He grunted as she apologized.
“I’m sorry I wasn’t there.” He mumbled as he nuzzled himself into her neck.
“You’re here now and that’s all that matters.”
