Anger, like seeing red, flashed though those malicious green eyes, a snarl on chapped lips and alcohol drenched breath. The girls' stance was strong against the monster that barred upon her, his anger emphasized with a quick snap of a fist against a small and delicate cheek. Hate spewed like rabid froth from grimy clenched teeth, yet her strength did not waver, she could not be weak, not now.

"Where is she?!" Silence, no words or cries spilled forth, only determination. Another blow, harder then the last, and the cold floor greets her. Stars are dancing like flickering lights behind her eyelids and the ringing of her ears becomes deafening. Harsh hands, insistent and angry, grip at her, clawing in desperation. Breathing labored as he demands his answers, but she will not reply. Her body slams the ground again, and again, but she gives only a small cry of anguish. He leaves, the door slamming behind him with an echo of malice. She stands, her body shaky, and runs, a shot echoes in the silence, and then darkness.'

Alice jerked from her thoughts as the images stopped flooding in, her gaze snapped to the girl still laying in slumber on the bed.

"Rosalie." A small whisper from her lips, but the blonds head snapped from her inspection of the closet and its treasures of clothing and material possessions any little girl would dream too have. One look at the small tense form of her sister had her abandoning her inspection. She was beside her in an instant.

"What have you seen?" Alice shook her head softly, her gaze turning back to the girl on the bed.

"He is going to find her, and soon." If a vampire could growl like a beast, then that was the sound Rosalie made, her teeth bared tightly.

"Impossible, I would never allow it." She said with finality. Alice's face went slack for a moment, her eyes once more searching a future that only she could see before her face once more fell.

"There are no other options…nothing else comes, it's like it is the only outcome. The decision is set, whoever has made it. It will put her back in his clutches." Rosalie glared harshly before turning back to Sky, who mumbled in her sleep.

"When?"

"Soon."

"Then I'm not leaving her side." Alice gave Rosalie a soft smile, but the sadness lingered in her eyes.

"You will have to hunt." She reasoned

"Then one of us will stay, always." Was her reply from the blond beauty that now stood next to the window.

"Rosalie…we can't change this." A small gasp of unneeded air left long dead longs as she found the taller vampire glowering above her, her face angry and set.

"We can, and we will, you just haven't seen what we can do about it yet." Alice nodded, but she knew better, the future was still the same, even with them knowing about it, but she would allow Rosalie this one comfort.

"I will tell the wolves, maybe…" She trailed off, Rosalie tensed once more.

"Those mangy mutts have no right to be near her." She hissed. Alice slumped in defeat. Rosalie had taken the stance of hovering mother, and no amount of reason on anyone's part would make the motherly beauty change her mind. She didn't want Sky anywhere near the pack, and had taken too doting on her like any mother would. Every time the girl awoke from her restless slumber it was Rosalie who was there first. for every one the nightmares that came creeping in on her dreams causing her too toss and turn, Rosalie whispered words of comfort. Her every cry of fright was like a knife to the long dead heart of the beautiful vampire. She had held her for long nights over the past two weeks, singing lullabies in hour long succession until slumber once more took hold of her young charge. Leah had only returned a few times. Always shifting at least once before she left so Sky could scratch at her, giggling with delight every time the she-wolf would lap at her face. She had informed Sam of Sky, but they had yet to tell Paul. They were waiting to ease him into it, but it was decided that it must be soon. Rosalie hoped he reacted badly, she hoped he struck out in anger, that he would deny his imprint, anything to make sure she could lay claim to the girl unchallenged. Alice knew better though. Paul may hate what he is told, he may choke on every word that Leah and Sam tell him, but he would not be able to deny Sky all of his affection, sooner or later. Rosalie hoped he would though, she hoped he made just one wrong move; planning to use his reaction against him to turn the rest of the family to her side to claim the girl, and the sad part was…she could very well succeed. Jasper reveled in the calm the girl seemed to emit. Carlisle was fascinated by her breeding, and her abilities, Esme was the doting grandmother, Emmitt enjoyed her soft laughter at his antics when she was awake, the fact that she showed no fear around him, and had actually started referring to him as 'brother bear' since the day she learned he preferred to hunt bears. Alice enjoyed their talks; it never failed to amaze her how perceptive Sky was, while all the while maintaining her childish curiosity and antics, in fact, the only one who maybe fight for the wolves side, was Bella, but they would not be back until next week, and Paul would have plenty of time to thwart Rosalie's attempt at claiming his imprint. None of the Cullen's would let the girl go very easily, but they would not fight the imprint, only Rosalie had the intention to do so, and if she found justifiable cause, the rest of the family…including Alice herself, would fight the wolves if need be.

"Mommy?" Alice was snapped from her thoughts as Sky mumbled for her mother again. Rosalie sat beside her, running her fingers through her raven locks, humming softly as Sky snuggled closer to her.

"Mommy." She whispered again, Alice did not have to have Jaspers powers to feel how much Rosalie relished in the sound of that word being whispered to her, even if it was only in sleep.

"I'm here." She cooed, stroking more of the wild bed head from Sky's face. The girl smiled slightly.

"I love you mommy." A choked sound erupted from Rosalie's' mouth as a dry sob hiccupped for a moment. Alice looked on with sad eyes as her sister comforted the girl. She didn't want to loose Sky either, but her vision was absolute, and Rosalie could not stop it, no one could.

"Alice." The smell of dog flooded in as Leah climbed in through the window.

"We have a door you mangy mutt." Rosalie hissed, but never stopped her soothing stroking of Sky's head. Leah just made a childish face behind her and turned back to Alice.

"We are telling him…today, we were wondering…well I was wondering…maybe we could ask Jasper…" She trailed off, but Alice understood. Leah wanted Jasper to keep Paul calm while he was told, fearing how he would react.

"You drooling fur balls need to do this on your own, handle your own pack, leave us out of it." Leah growled lowly, but Rosalie paid her no attention.

"You sure didn't mind watching 'Our' Sky for us, and she is 'Pack." Leah hissed her emphasis out in a guttural growl. Rosalie was in front of her in an instant, her cold marble hand clamped around Leah's' throat.

"She is NOT yours." He grip tightened as she spoke.

"She is Paul's, she is ours, and you need to get over it." Leah hissed back, her body shaking violently. Alice clasped a strong hand on Rosalie's wrist.

"If you make her phase here, you could both hurt Sky." She reasoned. Rosalie slowly released her hold on Leah, who stopped shaking. With a sigh of defeat Alice turned to Leah.

"I'll go get Jasper." Rosalie let out an inhuman choked sound. Alice didn't have to see her face too feel her glare on her, or the feeling of betrayal Rosalie emitted.

"I'm sorry Rosalie…but she's not ours…Leah is right." Leah gave a smug look to Rosalie, but Alice sent the female wolf a glare.

"She doesn't belong to anyone." She clarified. Leah looked taken back.

"She is a person." Alice hissed.

"Not a plaything…and I am sick of everyone claiming her like she can't make a choice on her own. I will help Paul keep his anger in check, but not so he can claim her like some toy, but so he won't hurt her. She is a little girl, not an object." With that said Alice stomped out of the room, her sight glancing to Sky once before softly closing the door behind her. She found Jasper easily, considering her was at the bottom of the steps, his face etched in concern.

"You are angry." No sooner had he said it that Alice felt the first wave of calm hit her. Her shoulders relaxed a bit and she gave him a grateful smile. He embraced her quickly His hand delving in her short locks, soothing her. Had it been any other time, she would have pulled away and chastised him about mussing up her hair, but at the moment, she was just grateful for his support.

"They are all having a pissing contest, trying to claim her like some toy or object that should be owned. It's like they don't care that she is just a little girl. Hasn't she been through enough?" If she could cry, Alice was sure her cheeks would be running silent tears like rivers, but she could not cry, and she hated it. Someone should be able to cry the tears for the broken little girl upstairs. Someone should be able to cry for her…but even though she wanted to take her, and hide her away. It was not her place.

"Everything will be alright." Jasper soothed, his golden eyes bright and pleading, trying to console her.

"I had a vision." She felt his body tense. She pulled away enough to stare up at his gaze.

"It's not good Jasper." A shudder of concern swept through his bond to her, disturbing the calm for but a moment before he regained himself. He did not ask, and she was relieved that he would not. He knew she just needed consoling right now. He would ask later though.

"They need you…the wolves. To keep Paul calm when they tell him what she is, when they tell him her story." He looked at her, his eyes piercing her soul and basking in it before he nodded. He could not deny anything she asked.

"Leah is waiting for you, I'll tell her to meet you outside." He nodded again, sending one last push of calm to her, before flooding her with the love he felt for her. She smiled at him, pulling herself on her tip toes and placing a chaste kiss on his lips. His eyes shut for a moment, letting the world fall away so that only they existed for a moment, before she pulled away.

"I'll be outside." Alice nodded and watched him go before climbing back up the stairs. Rosalie was once more sitting by Sky. Leah looked on with evident distaste as Rosalie stroked and cooed to the sleeping girl.

"Jasper will meet you outside." No sooner had she let the words travel past her lips Leah was out the window again.

"I'm sorry." It was but a whisper, but Alice's' sensitive ears caught it.

"You are right, we shouldn't be fighting over her…but I don't want her to leave here, I don't want her hurt, I want…I want to protect her…forever." Alice nodded. Rosalie had always wanted children, hell she was the one who came to Bella's' aid when they had found out she was carrying Nessie and Edward and Carlisle had wanted to terminate the pregnancy. Now she had a little one who clung to her every word, even called her 'mother' as she slept, and who needed a mother now more then anything. Of course she would not want to let her go, but she seemed too forget, she was not Sky's mother, the girl already had one. One who would be returning to claim her sooner or later. Sky would always be mingled in their lives, she had seen this already…if the vision never came true that is. She could no longer find her in her precognitive gaze at the moment, something had happened, something that altered everything to cataclysmic proportions, she was not sure what event was the catalyst, but she hoped to correct it soon, She wanted too see Sky in their lives once more.

"I have to go…Jasper..."

"I know." Rosalie gave her a wavering smile in understanding.

"I have to tell the pack…what I saw…we have."

"I understand...if it will stop it, if it will keep her alive…then tell them…help me protect her Alice." She pleaded. Alice could only nod, her gaze resting on Sky once more. In a month, this little scrap of a broken girl, had turned their world around and upside down, but Alice would not change it for anything. She loved her too much already to give her up, and she was prepared to fight fate to save her.

Paul paced, his paws kicking at the snow. Sam stood nearby as they waited for the rest of the pack.

'I don't see why we need a meeting all of the sudden.' He growled in anger. Sam glared at him, but Paul simply glared back, something almost akin to hate marring his features. Sam had become used to it over the last two weeks though. He had forbidden Paul from visiting Sky, the passionate wolf had of course, reacted very badly. It did not help that he could not tell Paul why; but he was about to remedy that, he could only hope Paul took it well; it was a foolish hope though, and he knew it. But when Leah had told him what Sky was, he just could not risk anyone letting it slip to Paul until it was time. If Sky ever talked to him…if she ever mentioned it, He could snap. Looking back at what he himself had done to Emily in his rage, and having to see it every day, broke him a little on the inside, taking pieces of his soul with every scarred smile she still graced him with, with every look of acceptance she showed him. Paul would never be able to live with himself if the same thing happened with Sky. He would get over what Sky was eventually, he would have too, but he would never be able to get over hurting her…never.

'I know you are angry Paul.' He tried.

'Angry?! Angry?! I'm furious! She is my imprint! How would you like it if someone took Emily away huh? And only let you run outside where she was once a damn day! You're damn right I'm pissed!' Sam nearly recoiled. He knew Paul would not attack him out right...or he didn't think he would, he knew there was no point. He could not challenge the Alpha, but if he could, Sam was sure that his second in command would tear him bloody.

'When the pack is gathered, we will explain, and depending on how you take everything, you can see her again.' Paul stopped pacing, his head snapped in Sam's direction, confusion and hope warred in his dark gaze.

'What are you not telling me? What have you been hiding from me?!' Sam sat on his haunches, his head cocked to the side.

'It's about Sky…and her Anomalies.' No sooner had he mention Sky's name Paul charged.

'Paul.' He growled, his Alpha voice threaded in, causing Paul to slam down almost immediately, his form submissive, but his eyes still spilled his emotions in torrents. Rage, hurt, and confusion were at war in his gaze.

'What did we miss?' Collin trotted up, his tongue lapping at his nose, catching the snow that had accumulated on it. Jared and the others soon joined, nearly twenty strong.

'Nothing.' Paul growled in defeat. Sam released him from his Alpha hold and Paul rose on shaky paws, his head low, but his eyes still looked up in defiance.

'Anyone else smell bleach and something sickeningly sweet?' No sooner had one of the young wolves asked, Alice and Jasper, accompanied by Leah, walked into the clearing. Growls erupted in every direction as the younger wolves fought off the urge to attack and destroy.

'They are our allies, do not attack.' It was an Alpha command, its strength tethering the wolves in place. Sam gave Paul one last look before he stepped forward. Alice and Jasper moved forward as well, like opposing generals meeting on the battle field before war.

"Jasper will do what he can." Alice whispered; her eyes still sad from the events prior. Sam nodded.

'As many of you know…Paul has imprinted.' A chorus of yes's passed through the telepathic bond. Sam turned his head to Alice, signaling her that he was about to let the truth out. She gave a quick tug on Jasper's sleeve, and immediately the effect was felt. Waves of calm engulfed the entire pack. Hair that was once raised in readiness for a fight, soothed down, and a few whimpers of content filled the clearing.

'Paul.' Almost instantly Paul was in front of him, his eyes searching Sam's gaze.

'Sky…has already been spoken for, by a vampire.' Even with the Calm Jasper was pushing into them, Paul still growled loudly.

'She is mine! I will rip the leech to shreds!' Jasper had already heard the growl though and soon Paul's angry words turned to whimpers and the calming became almost stifling.

'Paul…She is the daughter of a half breed, the blood of a vampire runs through her.' Calm or not, Paul let loose a howl that crashed into Sam's heart. Anger, disbelief, sorrow. They ran rampant through Paul's shaking form.

'No...' He hissed in disbelief.

'She is perfect…she could never have that nasty leech blood in her…she couldn't…she…' The longer he looked into Sam's' pleading and saddened eyes, the more the realization that his Alpha spoke the truth dawned on him.

'She is still perfect Paul, she is still Sky…' Sam tried to reach out to him, but the other wolf had shut down.

'I won't accept it.' Sam cocked his head to the side.

'The fact is still there Paul…she is still a quarter, you will have to accept it.' Paul shook his head, his eyes leveled in a glare.

'I accept the fact that you are telling me the truth.' Sam recoiled at the malice in Paul's voice.

'I don't accept 'It' as my imprint, I would never imprint on a leech.'

'Paul!' Leah's voice rang through Sam's shock and disbelief.

'You don't mean that Paul.' Leah approached with guarded steps, her head bowed, trying to be less of a threat.

'I do.' He said with finality. Leah looked to Sam, Her eyes pleading. He turned his head away; there was nothing he could do. He could not command Paul to accept her; the Alpha command didn't work like that. He could control his actions, but Paul's thoughts and emotions were all his own. Seeing that Sam was a lost cause for help, she turned once more to Paul, taking a stance in front of him. Her head no longer bowed in submission, but high and defiant. Her eyes blazing with a fire that had once captivated Sam, until Emily had stolen his heart with one glance, and an imprint.

'You are still the biggest idiot I have ever met.' Paul's head snapped to her, his eyes holding surprise at her words.

'She needs you Paul…She needs all of us.' His gaze hardened.

'You protect the leech, I don't want the filthy thing.' Leah gasped before growling.

'Take that back.' She hissed dangerously.

'I would if I could, I would take back this imprint and shove it down your throats!' Leah pounced then. Her teeth finding purchase in Paul's fleshy shoulder, all the while screaming things to him in her head. They bit, kicked, tore, and slashed with dangerously sharp claws until Leah came out on top. Her paw held her opponent down by his throat. Sam was shocked to say the least. Leah had never bested his passionate Beta, but there she stood in all her bloody glory, barring teeth down at Paul who didn't even growl in reply.

"She is going to die." Alice's voice swept through Sam's body like ice. His lungs locked up for a moment before his gaze looked to Alice, searching her gaze.

"This was the Catalyst moment…the one that would decide…she is going to die." Sam shifted, unaffected by his nudity.

"Alice?" He hated how he whimpered. Alice looked to him, the sorrow he has seen in her eyes intensified.

"Do none of you realize that she is still just a little girl?" Alice almost pleaded. She turned to Paul, who was still pinned by a shocked Leah. Even in her wolf form, Alice could see the questions in her eyes, almost loud enough too hear, the pleading for her to say it wasn't true, too take it back like a bad dream; but she couldn't.

"It's your fault…" Her eyes bore into Paul's "You are the catalyst I was looking for." Anger, bidden in passion, stirring a heat in her cold words. Sam was sure that if by some twist of fate, Alice had been born like them; she would have exploded into her wolf form with the anger that laced her words.

"She's just a little girl!" She reiterated once more.

"So what she has our blood in her?! She didn't ask for it! She didn't ask to be treated like some freak, like a demon! She didn't ask to be beaten and chased and shot! She didn't ask to have to be the one to have to save her mother and little sister by sacrificing herself! She just wants to be a little girl! She is not an object…she is not an 'IT'! She is Kree dona, Archainama ,Shelfton! She is Sky! She is a living, breathing person! She cries in the night because of nightmares...did you know that?! I have to hear her gasp from breath, sobbing, from seeing things that no one should see! I have to watch her jump every time we close the door too hard! I have to hear her cry out for her mother every night! You may not see her as a person…but I see that little girl, I talk to her…God do you even realize how smart, and beautiful, and innocent she is?!" Alice let out a choked sob, her eyes trying to cry tears that were long dried up. Even Jaspers waves of calm glanced right over her.

"And now…now she is going to die…because you…you can't just love her like I do?! Like Rosalie does?! Like she should be loved…protected…adored? Like the little girl she is? She…IS NOT…a monster…she is Sky, and she is more then you deserve by a landslide." Sam buckled, his knees hitting the powder snow, his head hung in shame. Alice was right. They had been arguing and treating Sky like she was a 'thing' and not the little girl they saved. They were so caught up in their drama over her…that they had completely forgotten about her as a person. Only the Cullen's…Only Leah, only they saw her like she should be seen. Shame filled him as he shifted. His own shame, the shame of the pack…

'Leah…let him go.' Even though he could not command her to do so, Leah relinquished her hold as if she was still his pack. Paul stood on shaky feet, his head hung in shame.

'I can't accept her Sam.' His voice whimpered.

'I just can't.' Before anyone could speak, he darted into the forest.

'Sam! Call him back!' Leah pleaded, but he couldn't. He couldn't force Paul too accept it, and forcing him to stay there would do no good.

'I'm sorry Leah..." He whispered sadly.

"Sorry…SORRY!!! FUCK YOU! If you won't go get him and beat some sense into him…THEN I WILL!' Before he could say anything back Leah had already darted in the direction Paul had gone.

'Everyone…go home…Jared…Collin" Sam turned to his oldest pack brothers.

'Go on patrol…find the scent of the one that hurt Sky…follow it…but do nothing but watch…everyone take shifts….make sure…make sure he never finds her.' Sam didn't need Alice to tell them how Sky would perish; Leah's words about her 'father' were enough for him to draw the conclusion. When the last wolf had wondered of to do his biding he shifted again.

"Alice." His words stopped there. What was he supposed to say? How could you tell a precognitive that even though she saw someone she loved dying in a future that seemed set in stone, that everything will be alright?

"Keep her safe." He finished lamely before phasing again to join Jared and Collin, his prayers rested with Leah, and her ability to make Paul reconsider.

"Jasper…" Alice whispered out. Her mates' arms were around her instantly. She never needed to say much, he always knew not only what she was feeling, but what she was thinking.

"I know it may not be true…but lie to me Jasper…please?" He nuzzled her neck softly.

"It's going to be alright Alice; we are going to figure something out. Nothing is going to happen to her, I won't let it." The way he said the words, with so much determination, made her forget the vision for that moment, and just put her faith in chance.

"I love you." She whispered. He didn't say anything back, but the love he pushed into her was his own, he let her feel what his words could never express. He would tear the world asunder to make sure she was happy. If he had to hunt down one measly human and dispatch of him just to save her…he would. Yet he knew that's not what she wanted. She didn't want him to be a killer, so he would find another way. They would find another way.

"We are going to save her Alice." She nuzzled his shoulder harder.

"We aren't the ones who are supposed too." She whispered back in defeat.

"Nothing is set in stone." He comforted. Alice remained silent, letting herself bask in his promise.
