It took three hours of sniffing out the leech and Celeste for them to find her. Closer to Forks than the club where was hours ago. It was clear that it was late the smell of venom and heavy and sickly. Sam sighed and picked the girl up her body lightly shaking.

"What do we do now?" Leah asks as the three of them head towards Forks.

"We take care of her." Paul said. "She's family."

"And her family? Bella and Charlie?"

"They both know. They just don't know the other knows." Paul says. "We tell them separately and tell them not to tell each other. Then we deal with this."

"And after she turns?" Paul flinched.

"She's family. Vampire or not. She's family." Sam says. "We made a treaty with the Cullens we can make one with Celeste."

"Good." Leah says after a while. "But there's one more problem." Sam looks at her to tell the problem. "What if she doesn't want to live as a vampire?" Paul flinched again, it was too much, too fast.

"We'll cross that bridge when it comes to it." Sam says. "For now, we'll go tell Charlie and Bella, then we'll go to the elders see what they say."

"What do we do with her body?"

"Turning takes three days. We'll leave her by the border and Logan can take watch." The two nod back and they continue on in silence.

Many many miles away.

The vision hit Alice like a truck, the decision made to last minute for her to see it before and only left to see the consequences. A red eyed Celeste, smiling at Aro. She gasped making everyone in the house, but Emmett who rarely moved and Edward who wasn't there look at her.

"What is it?" Jasper asked coming to her side. "What did you see?"

"Nothing, we can change its too late." Alice said, mind reeling at the fact that no matter what that's where the vision ended. "Too late."

-

All Celeste knew was burning. The beginning end and middle of the story was like hellfire they mention when they talk about hell. She might even prefer he'll at the point the burning only getting worse with each passing second or was a minute. Maybe it was an hour or a day. For all she knew it's been years and she's just been burning.

-

"What the fuck?" Bella yelled jumping up. "Where is she? How who did it?" She asks pulling on a pair of pants not caring for indecency with Sam and Alex in the room. "Answer me!"

"We don't know who. They got her at the club and left her body near Port Angeles." Sam says. "Calm down I can hear your heart beating."

"Don't tell me to be calm my sister was attacked!" Bella raged throwing a shoe at him.

"I'm gonna let that slide, moving on, don't say anything to Charlie. We told him she's staying the week with Emily and Leah Wedding planning."

"Of course I'm not gonna tell him, that'd do nothing but give him a heart attack." Bella says scoffing. "Now take me to see my sister."

In the Quil residence a very different conversation was happening.

"So what do you want to do about this?" Old Quil asked Paul, Leah and Jared.

"We were thinking a treaty of sorts, assuming she wants to consider to live when she wakes up." Leah says. None of them were looking up, shame a guilt bubbling in them. "She knows the rules and despite her problems with authority we also know she cares way to much about her family to ignore or risk breaking them."

"Going back a little. What will you do if she doesn't want to live as a vampire?" Billy asked looking specifically at Paul.

"I don't know." He answered after a minute his voice thick. "It's not up to me."

"But if she asked for death, you would have to be the one to do it." Billy says. "No other shifter can harm another's imprint, even with permission."

"I know." He says still not looking up.

"Well of the pack agrees, then you can offer her a treaty. She'd also be allowed on the Rez because she is an imprint." Leah's dad, Harry, says. The three look up at him in shock. "You'd be responsible for her though."

"Of course." They says.

"And Charlie?" Billy asks.

"We were hoping you would tell him." Paul says. "He knows the truth, he overheard them once. We have to watch the body."

"Fair enough, we'll call him over tomorrow. Good night and get out." Harry says smiling at them they go to leave when Old Quil calls out.

"Paul." He stops to look back. "It's not your fault son." He nods and leave the house.

"He's right. No one could've seen this coming." Leah says wrapping an arm around him. "Besides Celeste is a tough bitch. If anyone can do it, it's her." Paul nods leaning into Leah.

"And we've got her. Always." Jared says.

"Always."

It's been the longest 3 days of their lives. But now everyone was watching and waiting as the transformation was finishing. The whole pack and all the imprints minus Emily who was comforting Charlie who has been beside himself since he heard the news. The imprints and Bella stood five feet behind all the wolves who stood as a barrier between Celeste and the towns people.

They heard her heart speed up for it's final run, before it stopped and finally Celeste swan was officially dead. They held their breath as Celeste took one and sat up gasping clutching her chest. Her eyes now blood red dashed from place to place not landing for more than a second, but seeing everything.

She continued to gasp and panic not understanding what was happening. Paul approached first, slowly hands up to show he wasn't a threat.

"Hey hey it's okay." Paul said trying to soothe her as he walked towards her. "I got you." Once Celeste calmed down she took a deep breath and then her nose scrunched.

"Dude you reek." She muttered and everyone laughed. "Oh my god. I'm a vampire, my hearts not beating I can hear your heart. Oh my god."

"Alright it's alright calm down."

"Bitch I'm a vampire!"

"And I'm a werewolf." He says smiling at her. "Now you need to hunt and then we have a lot to talk about."

"Hunt? Like animals?" She asks him and he nods. "But Bambi." Everyone laughs again. "I can't."

"You can now let's go." He shifts and so does Leah.

"They said race them." Sam says smiling at her. "Go." The three of them take off with almost no hesitation. Celeste getting ahead in almost no time.

"Catch up losers." She tells taking off leaping through the trees and foliage. Eventually she stops and then dashes right. When the wolves catch up they see Celeste draining a mountain lion. They were surprised she found one. Once she was done she dropped the carcass. "I think I'm gonna vomit." Paul barked a laugh and nudged her leg with his snout. "Are we okay?" Leah made a show of grabbing the carcass and then taking it and leaving them alone. Paul shifted back, neither him or Celeste caring that his junk was out.

"Are you okay?" Paul asks not getting to close, his meat was out.

"I'm I don't know." She says sighing. "I didn't think I'd end up here."

"Yea I can imagine."

"Are we okay? Aren't we supposed to be like mortal enemies?"

"Of course we're okay. Me and you, we're solid kid. Until the end of time."

"Promise?"

"Pinky promise." He says holding out his left pinky, Celeste locked pinkies with him and they both kissed it. "I got you."

"Thank you."

"Anytime. Now go find a deer and then you can go see your friends and family."

"What if I get to thirsty?"

"I got you. Now race you." He says shifting and running back. Celeste chokes on a laugh and runs back.

She takes in everything around her, the life and smells. It was amazing and insane and fuck her life just changed again. They make it back to the pack and Bella immediately runs forward and into Celeste's arms.

"You have the self preservation of a fucking fly." Celeste says holding her sister tight. "And you smell like sadness."

"Well fuck you too." Bella says letting go of Celeste. Only for three more bodies to fly at her.

"You idiots too!"

"We love you bitch. Take our love." Conner argues, Celeste inhales deeply just to smell home.

"Alright let's take it slow alright." Celeste says. "Let's not push my limits today."

"Your doing good though." Leah says. "Don't worry we got you."

"Thanks."

"Anytime."
