THE EARTHY SMELL OF THE WOODS HIT ME LIKE A WAVE AS I EXIT THE CULLEN'S HOUSE. I close the door behind me and step towards the green woods. My red dress clings to my body as I walk, I haven't changed yet.
I can hear everything, the quiet chirps of birds, grass swaying in the wind, rain trickling down branches and falling down leaves. It's peaceful. My throat no longer burns and I walk further into the woods, only to be greeted by the smell of a wet dog.
I pull a face and step to the side as a large dog pounces at me. I stagger backwards, and the dog freezes. I hold my hands out, and it flashes its teeth at me. "Woah, good dog." I say and it takes a step forward. I look at the black wolf, and the memory of being at La Push enter my mind.
"Did you know that Quileutes are supposedly descended from wolves?"
"I'm I on Quileute land?" I ask the wolf lifting my hands to a surrender. "I woke up a few minutes ago, I don't know much about the treaty." I tell the black wolf and he stares into my red eyes.
"I'm on my own now, the Cullen's left. I promise you, I won't be a danger. I've just got to learn how to deal with this on my own- and I need to know what the treaty is, because I don't want to accidentally breach it or something." I ramble and let out an embarrassed laugh.
"So, are you like a person? A shapeshifter or something?" The wolf nods its large head. "Ah, okay then. I'm guessing you don't trust me enough to change back?" The wolf nods again and I clear my throat.
"Okay, so I'm Tallulah. I am- was, staying with the Cullen's, but they're gone now. Um, I was bitten- what day is it again? Yeah, so I was bitten on the Thirteenth of September, I don't know the date today, like I literally woke up twenty minutes ago." I look down at my hands and let out a small sigh.
"Oh! I can read minds too, and move stuff so like telekinesis, which is really cool." I say and lift a hand, watching as scarlet energy circles my fingers. It fades and I look back at the wolf. "So, you could just, ask questions in your head, and I'll answer them, or if I ask questions, you can answer them. Is that okay?" The black wolf nods.
"Who bit you?" He asks me and I listen to a quiet thought in his mind, he tries to hide it. "If a Cullen bit her, they broke the Treaty." I listen carefully and click my tongue. "A vampire passing through. I didn't know who." I say to the wolf and fold my arms over my chest.
"What's the treaty?" I ask the wolf. "The Cullen's don't kill, or bite a human. And to not hunt or trespass on Quileute land. If the Treaty is broken, we can attack." I nod and look at the floor. We? I think and glance back at him. "So, am I on Quileute land?" The wolf shakes his head. "Was I on Quileute land, is that why you attacked?" The wolf nods his head.
"Okay then, so no going on your land, and no killing or turning humans?" The wolf nods and I hear another howl. He looks between me and the distance. "You should go, sounds important." The wolf runs away and I walk deeper into the woods.
I can hear something, a heartbeat. My throat burns and I rush forwards. Bella's White House stands infront of me, I stare at it. At Bella who looks numbly out the window. Her heart beats loudly in my ears, causing my throat to burn and ache, like I've swallowed fire. Wait, could I swallow fire now? Would it permanently kill me?
I shove away my curiosity and lock eyes with Bella. She moves sluggishly to open the window. I take in a breath and speed over, jumping upwards, and landing inside her room quickly. I stare at her, her brown eyes locking with my red ones.
She looks at me, debating if I'm real. She wraps her arms around me and I hug her back instantly. Her blood doesn't bother me. "You're here." She mutters and hugs onto me tightly. "How long was I gone?" I ask her, and hug into her warm body. "A month." I let go with wide eyes, gaping at Bella.
"A month?" I ask and she nods. "A month." She replies and I blink, rapidly, even though there's no need for me now. "I didn't know if you were ever going to wake up." She says and her eyes well with tears.
I take her hand, giving it a gently squeeze and give her a small smile. "I'm awake now, and that's all that matters, I'm not leaving. I promise Bella. I'm not going anywhere." I promise her and she pulls me into another hug. I understand Bella, I understand what she's feeling, because I'm feeling it too.
We are only two destroyed hearts grieving together.

I also want to give a slight spoiler, because I know some readers may be confused how Tallulah's restraint is so good.
As a human, Tallulah suffered with an eating disorder, anorexia, and therefore, as a vampire, her control is much better and she doesn't need to feed as frequently.
