He looked up and screamed for Carlisle as his tears rained down on my face. As Carlisle walked into view pain shot through my body starting from my side and I couldn't even scream before I passed out.

What felt like seconds later, I was flying through the trees with Jacob the wolf at my side. I stretched my arms out and threw my head back feeling the wind on my face. Then I noticed the blanket that covered me, arms that held me, Carlisle was carrying me. This is just like the blanket I keep in my car I thought before the pain radiated through my body and I passed out again.

Minutes later I opened my eyes and it was like déjà vu. My angel and my giant were, caring for me with worry in their eyes. The pain was gone, which made it easier to stay conscious. Actually I didn't feel anything. Was I really bitten? I thought I remembered changing and the fight, but I also remembered flying. I reached for my side wondering if the whole thing had been a nightmare but Jacob caught my hand.

"Don't," was all he could say before his eyes filled with tears.

"It has been cleaned and bandaged," Carlisle finished for him. "I gave you a small amount of morphine straight into the wound to help with the pain. It looks like it worked because this is the longest you've stayed awake."

"I feel numb but that makes it easier to think. My stomach feels like it wants to turn itself inside out though. You got anything for that Doc?" I smiled but all I really wanted to do was take a long bath and sleep.

Carlisle looked up at Jacob and Jacob stared at the wall, past him refusing to make eye contact with anyone. "We're not going to give you anything for the nausea. I just gave you the small dose of morphine so that you could be conscious before..."

"Before?" I wanted him to continue but then I looked around. There was an IV bag set up next to me containing a clear liquid and on a table nearby was a large syringe filled with a translucent, yellowish substance. It all clicked into place. I wanted to wrap my arms around Jacob and kick everyone else out so that I could curl up in a ball and cry

"You wanted me conscious before you tried to cure me so I can say my goodbyes just incase the cure doesn't work and I never wake up. OK."

Carlisle stayed quiet and Jake was still staring at the wall with puddles in his eyes. I looked over at the doorway where Esme, Renesmee, Alice, Emmitt, Seth and Leah stood. Leah and Seth were crying and the other facial expressions told me that if vampires could cry they would be. I thought I saw a smile in Renesmee's eyes

"Stop it, now," they all looked surprised. "I am not dying. Not today, tomorrow or the next few decades. My grandmother died from this and so did her mother but I'm not them. I am surrounded by some the most powerful friends in the world and another very powerful, very wise woman told me recently that I am a survivor. I am surviving this. In a few days I am going to wake up and be amazing and you will all be jealous," I smiled. "Have a little faith people."

I looked up at Jake who was holding my hand but refused to look down. "Jake, look at me." I softened my voice. "You met N'Mai, you saw what she is and you heard what she said. So, how dear you be so sad. I love you. I will see you in a few days." I brought his hand to my lips, kissed it savoring the feel and smell of his skin.

"So Dr. Cullen," I turned to Carlisle but kept a tight hold on Jacob's hand. "What procedure will you be performing today?" I forced a convincing smile.

"This," he said pointing to the IV bag, "Is morphine. It is a painkiller that will put you to sleep. We have only ever used it with Bella but she said it helped. We're going to leave it on a drip and we figure that when you're ready to wake up it won't be able to keep you asleep."
