"She's becoming hypothermic! Cover her!" Carlisle grabbed a throw blanket from a chair in the living room of the Cullen's house and threw it over Arsyn's shaking body.

"What's happening to her?" Seth asked as he grabbed a blanket from the pile Rosalie brought into the room. Carlisle continued to wrap Arsyn's exposed skin. "Guys," Edward called from the left side of the couch where he was at. "Look."

Emmette, Rosalie, Seth and Carlisle looked over at Arsyn's pale face. Her skin settled into its usual soft white, her eyes opened suddenly as she sucked in a huge breath- her eyes were consumed with a piercing red color it usually is. Arsyn sat up on the couch and let the air escape from her lungs. She calmed herself down and looked at the blankets that were covering her body.

"What happened?" Her voice was quiet, and her throat felt almost rustic when she spoke. She looked up at the five pair of eyes that watched her worriedly. "Tell me!" Arsyn's voice was unusually loud and it made even her flinch back at the octave. She touched her throat and swallowed dryly.

"You shifted," Seth spoke softly. He walked around the vampires until he sat at Arsyn's curled legs. "Don't you remember?" Seth's large hand covered Arsyn's shaking one. It was oddly cold and smaller than his own.

Arsyn looked between Seth and the rest of the four before shaking her head. "I don't-" Arsyn's hand clamped over her mouth when everytjing from the night before came rushing back to her. She remembered the pain she felt, the sacrifice she witnessed, and the shift, but most of all; she remembered her enhanced feelings for Seth. Her eyes wandered from the tingling feeling in her and Seth's connected hands, to Seth's worried expression. He was suddenly more handsome than before, his quirky habits of reminding her how much she meant to him suddenly became clear to her. The girl removed her hands from her mouth and from Seth's palm. "I remember."

Everyone felt relieved when Arsyn said that.

"I'm a Queen."

The relief was replaced by a feeling of uncertainty and confusion.

"That's right," Seth smiled at Arsyn as he stood up from the couch. "How are you feeling?" Arsyn sighed and looked at all the worried faces that surrounded her. "Hungry."

"Esme can cook you something-"

"No," Arsyn interrupted Carlisle. She reached up to her throat, feeling it vaguely before almost throwing up at the thought of having to drink more animal blood. "I don't want animal blood either," Arsyn spoke as she stood up. She tore off the blankets from her, but she somehow managed to throw them across the room, until they completely knocked down a lamp from where it sat on a desk. Arsyn looked down at her arms, she began to feel the way she did when she first turned into a vampire. Hungry, powerful, and clueless.

Arsyn began to make her way out of the house when a hand gripped onto her shoulder, sending unusual vibrations through her body. Slowly, she spun around and faced a worried Seth. His grip on her shoulder tightened unintentionally when her red eyes locked with his brown ones. He pushed away the overwhelming feeling to kiss her and removed his hand from her.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"To find something to eat." The words rolled off too easily from Arsyn's tongue, never in her life as a vampire had she ever said that. Look for something to eat, as if humans were nothing- but they were nothing. At least right now; they felt like nothing, but food. The four men and Rosalie followed Arsyn outside of the house, all sharing the same confused expression. Arsyn looked down at her body, just now noticing the only thing she wore was a long grey shirt, and it must have been one of the guys' because it didn't fit her at all.

"I should change."

Arsyn was out of sight in an instant,  almost scaring everyone if they hadn't already been used to vampire speed.

"We can't let her go out and kill people for blood," Seth whispered to the group.

"It doesn't matter how low you whisper, she could probably still hear you," Rosalie rolled her amber-colored eyes.

Seth ignored her and looked to Carlisle for help. "I can't stop her. She's the Queen, I'm not supposed to even be near her right now. Billy would-"

"Billy would what?" Jacob pushed his father's wheelchair as they approached the Cullen's house. "Nothing, Sir," Seth bowed his head to his Chief.

"I went to get him after we brought Arsyn back," Jacob told the group who hadn't really noticed his absence. "Where is she?" Billy looked around the group until Arsyn appeared in front of him, the anger she felt yesterday still very evident on her face.

"Hello, Billy." She was now dressed in her usual attire, black jeans, black tank top, and a leather jacket.

"Queen," Billy grabbed Arsyn's left hand and kissed it delicately. After, he handed her hand to Jacob- who took it without hesitation. "Queen," he repeated after his dad and he too kissed her hand just as gently, all while Seth watched with a frown.

Arsyn put her hand back to her side, pleased with the treatment she was recieving, even though she knew in the back of her head that she wouldn't have liked this yesterday. But today Arsyn felt different, careless. She almost felt dangerous. She didn't know what it was, but she honestly felt like nothing really mattered but being Queen. Being the leader of hundreds, it sounded amazing at this very moment.

"How are you feeling?" Billy asked. Looking down at him, Arsyn managed a smile. "Fine. But your decisions will not go without consequences." Arsyn surprised even herself as she said this.

"My decisions?" Billy looked back at Jacob in confusion.

"Yes, you've failed to inform me about what you were planning last night, you caused me a lot of pain. I don't like to be in pain," a small smile fell onto Arsyn's lips again.

"From now on," Arsyn looked around at the people that surrounded her. "Those who cross me will suffer a great deal. Starting with Billy."
