I woke up later to the very annoying beeping of a heart monitor. I figured that I had to be in the hospital, because vampires do not have a heartbeat, therefore the machine could not be hooked to me. But as I tried to sit up, I found out otherwise. I couldn't sit all the way up because my arms were throbbing painfully. They were wrapped from nearly my shoulder all the way down to my hands. I was sure that it would leave terrible scars but that was the last thing on my mind. I wasn't in the hospital, I was at the Cullen's house, in the E.R. room as I had often called it. This was the same room Bella was changed in and Nessie was born in. I felt for the bite mark in my shoulder and the sudden flash of pain sent my heart monitor into a frenzy. A few seconds later Carlisle walked through the door, but apparently I wasn't supposed to be awake yet because he started when he saw me partially sitting up. "Cassandra, how are you feeling?" He asked checking my bandages and the bite mark before giving me something for pain. "Just a bit sore, and kinda lazy. I really want to get up, can I Carlisle?" I asked giving him my best begging voice. He relented and helped me to stand up. "So doc, what's the damage? And how come I'm not a vampire?" I asked in a somewhat low voice. I had to force myself to say the word vampire, that last call was way to close for my likings.

"Willow is dead, ripped apart and burned to ashes. You have two long gashes, one on each arm, and a total of 300 stitches." I felt my mouth fall open. "You are not a vampire, because Jasper sucked the venom out of your blood." I was stunned, Jasper was the newest vampire in their coven, and I had never expected that. "He was very drawn to your blood, but was able to hold himself back because he still thinks of you as his little sister." Edward said walking into the room. I smiled at him. He read my mind and suddenly I could hear everyone's thoughts. The entire pack was here including Leah. I smiled, "It feels good to know what everyone's thinking again. No more surprises." I said giving Edward as much of a hug as I could stand at the moment. I looked at Carlisle and he nodded, with his permission I left the room in favor of the living room.

When I walked into the living room I was instantly captured in Embry's warm grasp. "Cassandra, I'm so sorry. I should have never left you alone. I thought, I thought." He couldn't finish what he was saying, he was crying against my neck, but I didn't care. I maneuvered him to sit on the couch. "Shh, Embry, it wasn't your fault. And I'm fine, I couldn't die yet anyways. I think someone made a promise to move in with me?" I said with a smile. He lifted his head from the crook of my neck and I wiped the tears off of his beautiful face. "Embry, stop crying. Your too beautiful to be crying." I said twisting the words he had used on me once before. It caused him to laugh, and I was so ecstatic to see him smile again. They weren't kidding when they said that this imprinting stuff was strong. I gave him a kiss but was interrupted by Sam clearing his throat. I turned to look at him and he wouldn't look me in the eyes. "Cass, I'm the one who left you home alone, and I'm very sorry for that. I want you to know that no matter what you choose, we'll be happy for you." What he said was completely confusing to me so I dipped into his mind just a tiny bit. 'I can't believe they would want her to leave her home, Embry will die if he cant see her.' It was all I could stand to listen to before I pulled out of his mind. I looked over at Carlisle and Esme, they both looked hopeful, but I couldn't do it.

"Carlisle, Esme, I'm honored that you would want me to stay with you. But I have a new home, and more family. I still love everyone of you, and you are still my family, but I cant leave Embry. He is the love of my life, my imprint, my singer." I was trying to make it so that everyone would see just how strong the bond between us was. "I have to stay on the reservation, it's my home now." I said hoping they would understand.

I didn't know what to say, but Alice came to the rescue. "Don't worry about it Cass, we understand. Besides we'll be back soon enough." She said hugging Jasper close. I tried to read her mind but she was dissecting Romeo and Juliet and then translating it to Latin. "Alice, what did you see?" I asked hoping to be persuasive. It was working until Jasper change the mood from persuasive to annoying. Alice became annoyed with my trying and huffed before leaving the room. "That's not fair Jasper!" I called after them. I was a little worried though. Jasper and Alice had both just used their powers on me and I was sure to absorb them soon. "Rosalie, may I borrow a pair of long gloves?" I asked looking at the beautiful blonde. She nodded and Emmet ran upstairs only to return seconds later with a pair of pure white satin gloves that would cover my entire arms. "Thanks, sis." I said smiling at her and Emmett. "No problem, little sister." Rosalie smiled at me and I felt extremely happy. I went from having no family at all to having one very big, loving family, and I couldn't be happier.
