Hey guys! Look, it's another chapter! Yay!

I swear I was going to have a chapter up yesterday, but life got in the way and I'm super stressed out, so I finished writing this about five minutes ago... So yeah... Don't kill me. Thanks! :)

Okay, so this chapter we'll find out what happens, but I'm warning you now, you won't know why yet. I'm keeping that for next chapter to make sure you keep reading, but I did put a hint in the chapter about why.

Okay, I'm going to shut up now. I don't own Twilight, that belongs to Stephanie Meyer.


Haylie's POV

I was sitting in third period when my eyes started to droop closed. I leaned my head against the palm of my hand and put my elbow on the table. It seemed like the most subtle way to close my eyes and not bring attention to me.

As soon as I put any weight on my arm though, it started trembling, so I sat back up.

My head was killing me. I had a throbbing headache, and it hadn't gone away. I got it halfway through first period.

I felt awful. I probably looked awful too, which is why for once in my life, I had taken my hair down. That way I could hide in it.

"Haylie? Are you feeling okay?" Someone asked from next to me.

I turned to look over and saw that it was one of the boys Embry hangs out with, I didn't know which one though. Jared maybe?

I just nodded, but I could tell by the look he gave me it wasn't believable. Guess I'll have to work on that sometime.

He shook his head. "No you aren't." He stated and raised his hand.

It didn't take long until the teacher called on him.

"Yes Mr. Black?"

"Haylie isn't feeling good, can I take her to the nurse?" He asked.

I had to hide my shock and slight anger and just looked down at the wood my desk was made of, studying the patterns like they were the most important thing in the world.

"I suppose." The teacher said.

Whichever of Embry's friend it is stood up and so did I. I didn't want to cause a scene or anything. We walked out of the room, going pretty fast, but not fast enough to make us look stupid.

He turned one direction in the hallway and I followed. I could feel my arms and legs shaking just a little and it made me nervous. What if he notices, now that there aren't any other kids around to hide me?

He looked back at me, and looked concerned. "Are you okay?" He asked.

I nodded. "Fine." I mumbled, but my body didn't agree with the words I said, and as I took another step, my legs started to collapse. Somehow he caught me though.

"No you aren't." He said, and he scooped me up into his arms.

I groaned, but was too tired to complain or protest. Instead, I found myself leaning into him and closing my eyes. All of a sudden my head spun and I was engulfed in blackness.

Jake's POV

"No you aren't." I told her and immediately picked her up into my arms.

She groaned, but that was all. She curled up a little closer to me and I saw her closing her eyes. I held back a laugh and knew that if Paul ever knew about this, he'd probably try to kill me even though I'm helping Haylie.

I was only partially paying attention to her when her heartbeat sped up for a few beats before becoming pretty slow.

"Haylie?" I asked, wanting to make sure she was okay. If she wasn't, Paul was going to flip.

She didn't respond.

I bounced her a little. "Haylie, wake up. Seriously." I said.

Still, she did nothing, and now that I thought of it, she seemed a little more limp than before. Well, maybe she's just a heavy sleeper. That didn't explain the weird heartbeat though.

I shook her a little bit harder, but not hard enough to hurt her. "Haylie, are you okay?"

Still no response. I don't think she's asleep...

I sighed and sat down on the floor of the hallway with her still in my arms. I pulled my phone out and texted Embry, at the last minute deciding to text Paul too. I sent them the exact same message, telling them where I was and to get down here.

I didn't get a response, but I figured they were coming.

Embry came first, knowing Paul he was probably walking as slow as he could.

When Embry saw me there with Haylie, his eyes widened and he started running.

"What happened?" He asked me, obviously worried for his little sister.

I shrugged. "I don't know. I looked over at her in Physics, and she didn't look very good. I was bringing her to the nurse and I asked if she was okay. She said she was fine and immediately tripped. I caught her and started carrying her. She curled up a little into me and then her heart started beating really fast for about ten seconds or so before it slowed down to this. She won't wake up."

Embry frowned. "It took her awhile to get up this morning too. I suggested she stayed home but she said she was fine. Then she got up and tripped." He recalled. "Do you think she-" He started, but was cut off by pounding footsteps running toward us.

"Is she okay? What happened?" It was Paul.

I shrugged. "We don't know." I said, and explained what happened again.

He frowned, obviously fighting with himself about the imprint again. We'd heard it enough while we were in wolf form already.

I sighed. "We should call Sam. This doesn't seem normal." I suggested.

Embry nodded and took out his phone and started dialing. I could hear the entire conversation with my enhanced hearing.

"Hello?" It was Emily.

"Hey Emily, it's Embry, I need to talk to Sam." He told her.

"Alright, hang on." She said. There was some moving around on the other end before Sam started talking. "What do you need Embry?" He asked.

"Something is wrong with Haylie. We don't know what though. She seemed off this morning, and right now she's lying in Jake's arms, eyes closed and a really slow heartbeat. Do you think she passed out or something? She's not responding when we try to wake her up." Embry told him.

There was a pause. "Get her checked out of school. I want you and Jake to come to my house. I know Paul's there too, so he can come if he wants. I have a feeling he might be a big part of this." Sam said.

Embry and Paul both looked as confused by that as I was. What does he mean by that?

"Alright, we'll be there soon." Embry said, and hung up. He sighed. "Let's get her to the nurse, we can check her out there."

We nodded and I sighed when I looked at Paul. He looked pissed, and worried at the same time.

"You okay?" I asked while we walked.

He looked down at Haylie, looking at her the same way Sam looks at Emily. He took a shaky breath. "I will be." He said, and started walking a little fster, probably to get away from me.

I sighed. "Paul." When he turned around, I continued and held Haylie out to him. "Take her, it'll make you feel better." I told him.

He looked at her in my arms for about thirty seconds before taking her from me.


Yay, another chapter! Love the response from last chapter too! Keep it up! Reviews make me really happy, and they make me want to write more.

Oh yeah, and I'm going through a slightly tough time right now, so if you guys would give extra reviews, that would make it just a little bit better. So yeah, give me reviews so that I don't feel so awful? Thanks.
