Rosalie's POV.

"I don't know what that creature was but it's dangerous." I told Charlie.

"I'm sorry but I have to tell Dash about this." She told me.

Before I could respond Penelope, Angelo and Shaun stormed in.

"You're alive!" Shaun beamed pulling me into a bone crushing hug.

"Yeah." I got out of his arms not wanting to be touched.

"I'm glad you're here." Penelope tried to hug me but I took a step back making her halt in her action, I could tell she felt hurt but I could care less at this point.

"Are you fine?" Angelo took in my dirty/bloody form.

"Like you care." I retorted and he sighed.

"I think you need a checkup." Shaun told me but I shook my head.

"I don't need a checkup I just need my friend to be ok that's it." I demanded.

"Ok, calm down." He told me.

"Don't tell me to calm down." I scoffed.

After a few minutes Charlie returned with Dash behind her. Closing the door everyone took a seat except me.

"Rose-"

"It's Rosalie." I corrected Penelope who was about to say something.

"Rosalie." She took a deep breath obviously trying to hold back her tears. "At least take a seat."

"I don't want to." I snapped. "Can we just get to the point."

"She says her friend was attacked by an unknown creature." Charlie told everyone.

"What does it look like?" Shaun asked.

"Like a human but with crimson eyes and fangs and smells like a vampire/witch hybrid." I told them.

"Did you try giving her an antidote for vampire/witch hybrid bites?" Angelo asked.

"Yeah, didn't work."

"Are you sure you mixed it right?"

"Yeah, 100%" I sighed.

"Maybe you just didn't know what it was." Penelope spoke.

"That's exactly why I'm here."

"What do you want?" Dash finally spoke not daring to meet my gaze.

"I want Charlie to help me find a cure and know what the fuck attacked Martha." I spoke in monotone.

"Why here." His eyes bore into mine.

"If had anywhere else this would be the last fucking place I'd come." I snarled.

"How sure are we your "friend" isn't dangerous or better yet a creature like the one you claim not to know?" He challenged.

"Because she's not and she was fucking attacked." I snapped.

"Why was she attacked, why not you."

"You fucking bastard!" I snapped. He was trying to get to me and I was letting him.

"Better yet how do we even know what creature this is-"

"I have samples of it in the car, I'll show you." I left the office with Shaun behind me.

"Hey." He held my hand and I flinched.

"What." I sighed opening the boot.

"Don't let him get to you." He said and helped me get the containers out of the car into Charlie's office.

"This thing looks huge." Charlie gasped at the pictures I had taken of it.

"How did you manage to kill it?" Shaun looked at me then the picture.

"I ripped his out to of his chest." I spoke glaring at Dash who for the first time I actually felt like I could kill the same way I did the creature.

"You're kidding." Everyone gasped.

"No, now do you by any chance know what it is?"

"No, but I'll have it taken to the lab for evaluation." She stated.

"I can't wait that long, she'll die." I run a hand through my head. "You have to have another way please."

"There's no other way." She sighed "unless" her gaze fell on Dash.

"Alpha blood."

I felt powerless at this point, knowing fully well that he wasn't going to help me, this bastard enjoyed seeing me suffer.

"Fuck."

Powerless I walked out of the office and dragged myself to Martha's bedside. Her body was attached to IVs and one hand had a drip of blood while the other had water.

Seeing her almost lifeless broke my heart. I couldn't hold back my tears anymore, taking her hand in mine I cried.

"I'm sorry." I kept repeating.

"We need to examine her." Jake told me but I didn't bother moving.

"Rosalie, I need to examine her again." He tried to pull me off.

"It's pointless, let me have the little time I have left!" I yelled as tears rolled down my cheeks like a waterfall.

"He still needs to examine her." Shaun pulled me away and dragged me out of the room.

Unable to stop crying, I sat on the cold floor wrapped my arms around myself and cried like never before.

"Mummy." The small voice I had missed so much called.

Looking up I saw my son staring down at me.

"Baby." I pulled him into my arms and hugged him tightly.

"I missed you." He hugged me back and those simple words made me cry even more. He said he missed me not that he hated me but he missed me.

"I missed you too." My voice broke.

After finally pulling myself together I wiped my tears away.

"Are you ok" Cage asked tracing my swollen knuckles.

"I'm fine, just extremely tired." I confessed.

"Come, let's go home then." He got up offering his little hand.

"I can't baby, aunty Mars is in there and I can't leave her alone."

"Why, what happened?" He frowned going into the room where she was laying.

"She was attacked by an unknown creature." I explained following him.

"Is she going to be ok?" He turned to me with his big eyes welling with tears.

"Yeah, she's going to be ok." Shaun gave his and my shoulder a gentle squeeze. "She's in safe hands."

"I hope so." He took a deep breath, turned to me and took my hand into his. "Why are your knuckles swollen?"

He gently traced my now purple knuckles that were taking more time to heal than they should have.

"I took down the monster that attacked her."

"Let aunty Char take a look and clean them up."

I refused at first but he kept insisting till I agreed. Charlie cleaned and bandaged them up swiftly.

"I managed to come up with a tonic that would help her, she's got 2 days tops." She told me.

"Ok." I pulled my left hand out of her grip the second she finished with it.

"We can find a way to-"

"It's ok." I stopped her knowing exactly what she would say. "I'll figure it out myself."

Getting up I made my way back to Martha's room where Cage was seated with his small hand on hers. Due no having any knowledge on the creature and it's poisonous bite she had been isolated so they could do more research.

"Hey." I pulled him close to me.

"Hey." His voice barely audible indicating he was sad.

"She's going to be just fine baby." I spoke while holding his face in my hands. "She's a fighter and that filthy bite can't put her down, and if she were here she sure as hell would have smacked your head straight for even opting to worry or cry."

Noticing his face was still low I kissed his face till he begun to laugh.

"I missed you so much mummy." He hugged me. "Please don't leave me ever again."

"I won't my baby." I placed a kiss in his now overly curly hair.

"Pinky swear." He lifted his little picky as he stared into my eyes.

"Pinky swear." I linked my pinky with his and we both smiled.

At this moment I made myself and my son a promise, come what may absolutely nothing and no one was ever going to separate me from my son.

I was so overwhelmed with joy at sweet moment my son and I were sharing I never noticed someone enter the room till...

"Daddy!" Cage jumped out of my arms running to his father.
