And I tried to hold these secrets inside me
My mind's like a deadly disease

I'm bigger than my body
I'm colder than this home
I'm meaner than my demons
I'm bigger than these bones
And all the kids cried out,
"Please stop, you're scaring me."
I can't help this awful energy
Goddamn right, you should be scared of me
Who is in control?



Ellie:

Hot.

That's all I feel. My flesh is literally on fire. I can't open my eyes yet but I'm burning. I try to move my limbs, my fingers, my lips, anything.

But nothing moves. Not because they won't but because they can't. My limbs are bound and I quite literally can't move even though I want too. I have to move, I'm on fire. I take a deep gasp of air and open my eyes.



Taking deep breaths, I look around. I'm in the Cullen's house. I've only been here a handful of times but I recognize it. I'm in a hospital bed and my arms are bound. I'm covered with blankets but I need to get them off. My skin is on fire.



"Jake!!" I yell.

I frantically try to free myself. I don't know what's wrong. My body starts to shake and I'm not controlling it.


"Jake!!" I cry again, not even caring if it's him at this point; I just want someone to come help me. My breaths start to become shaky and I only get hotter. It feels like my skin is in flames.


A few moments later, Dr. Cullen, Sam Uley, and Jake walk in. All of them look defeated.


"What's going on?" I cry, not being able to stand the fire in my bones for much longer.


"Elizabeth," Dr. Cullen says, "I need you to calm down before we proceed."


"What? Proceed with what?" I cry.


"This is bullshit!" Jake yells, "You're torturing her!"


He tries to walk up to me but Sam stops him.


"Jacob." Sam growls in a scary voice that makes me want to hide, "Not another step."



"Jacob, she's a medical miracle, we can't go into this guns blazing." Dr. Cullen tells him calmly.


"You have no idea what she's going through." Jake growls, "I do. The whole pack does. You're doing this wrong."



"What's going on?!" I cry.



"Seth bit you." Jake tells me.


"Jacob! Out. Now." Sam snarls.


Jake gets in Sam's face, "She's my imprint. Someone had to tell her before she phases on the bed!"


"Phase? Bite? What?" I ask frantically, "Someone please tell me what's going on."


"You fell down and hit your head. The aneurysm was about to explode but Seth saved your life by... by changing you. I've only heard of a few cases around the world and most of them haven't worked but you lived. You're a shifter. It saved your life." Dr. Cullen tells me calmly, "Figuring out your new form is going to be long and painful. But you have Jake and your new family, the pack, to help you through it."
