"GO BACK TO BED, SUNSHINE." Charlie told his youngest–daughter who had woken up to Bella's screams. "She's alright, she will be alright." He says persuading her to go back to her room. Elizabeth gave in to a little sigh before heading back to her room, she was worried about her sister, but fell back asleep like her dad had asked her to.

The next morning, Elizabeth, Bella and Jacob were in the truck. The oldest brunette had dragged her out so early in the morning just to go collect Jacob and the bikes. The blonde girl was extremely nervous about this, this seemed like a bad idea. But Jacob had said they were ready, as long as she stayed in the car, she'd be fine. She knew that.

Right now, the younger swan sat in the back of Bella's truck. Jacob and Bella were in the front as she drove to a private road, she kept going over little bumps on purpose knowing her little sister was worried. Elizabeth stares out the small window's next to the one seater – backseat, she could hear the bikes rattling in the back, her emotions were everywhere.

She tries to take her mind off of it, thinking of the week before when she reunited with Embry and Quil. She had missed them, she wished that she was with both boys at this moment, she didn't want to be with her sister. Not when she was like this. It scared her, it brought memories back of their mother, she was scared.

All of a sudden, Bella swerved on the road causing her to jostle out of her head and onto what was happening in the present. Her attention was on what the two in the front were looking at, "did you see that?" Bella exclaims. She climbed out the car causing the boy to follow her, Elizabeth stays in the backseat listening from Bella's open window.

She could hear the men on the cliff shouting from a distance, she recognised them as the ones that walked into her Uncle Billy's house. "They're not really fighting, Bella. They're cliff diving." Jacob laughs, he leans upon the truck, "scary as hell, but a total rush."

Elizabeth watches one of the men fall with a shout, "most of us jump from lower down, we leave the showing off to Sam and his disciples."

"You have some kind of beef with him or something?" Bella walks back over to Jacob, as he continues to stare out. Elizabeth was curious, but tense, she could feel a nagging in her chest, some sort of pull to the cliff.

"I don't know." Elizabeth turns her head back to Jacob. "They just think they run the place, Embry used to call them hall monitors on steroids, now look at him."

The young blue-eyed girl gasps, "Embry?" Her little whisper echoed throughout the wind that seemed to be blowing harshly towards them. She thought she seen him look her away. Must have been her imagination. "Jake, w-what happened to him?"

Jacob turns to the small girl, "he missed some school. Now, all of a sudden, he started following Sam around like a little puppy. Same thing happened with Paul and Jared."

Paul? Jared? Those names brought butterflies to flutter inside her tummy. She got a shivering feeling raving up and down her spine, she's never met them before, but she wanted to. They seemed to intrigue her, she shakes her head and turns back to see Embry diving off of the cliff.

"You should avoid him." She heard Bella whisper as her older sister stares towards Sam who also jumped. Elizabeth ignored the feeling she got from all of them and listens as Jake leads Bella back to the truck to continue their outing.

Elizabeth stood around with her arms wrapped around her waist, she watches as Jacob unloads the bikes from her sister's truck. She bit her lip nervously and her eyes slowly meet Bella's form, her sister was muttering to herself, she shakes her head. "Okay." She says as Jacob stands with the bike next to her, he holds it still as she climbs on.

She could hear Jacob explaining to Bella on how to work and which of the gears were which. She turns her head away, frightened that her sister was going to fall off, then it would be all her fault, her mother would kill her and she'd never get to see Charlie ever again.

"Elizabeth." Bella hissed. She snaps her head towards her sister, "get on." She could hear Jacob protesting, but both girls ignored it.

"I-I c-can't!" She exclaims to Bella who was having non of it. "B-Bella, it's not s-safe."

"Be a good sister." She smirks at Elizabeth's distraught face. She knew all the right words to say to her. Bella watches as Elizabeth hesitates to climb on, but she hauled her up, and took control of the bike, her face turned into disgust when her sisters arm tightened around her. What a weakling.

The engine starts, Elizabeth let out a squeal as Bella took off. "B-Bella, stop! Please, stop! I'm scared!" She rushes out as tears began to form her eyes, a wail caught in her throat as Bella didn't listen. Elizabeth's heart pummelled throughout her chest, her breathing became harsh, she could not stop, she screams loudly as Bella crashes into a rock. She grunted as she was flung across the muddy road, she couldn't lift her body up, everything hurt.

Her knees, elbows and hands were scraped. Her head had a small gash that seemed to have been bleeding. Big fat tears fell down her flushed cheeks like two small waterfalls, she whimpers when she moved her left hand, she seemed to have fell on it to catch herself from falling.

"Ellie!" Jacob rushes over as soon as he noticed she wasn't moving. He left Bella his shirt upon her bleeding head, "Ellie? Firefly, can you hear me?"

He panics, he was going to take them both to his dad. He picks the smaller girl up, her semi-conscious form clinging to him, "Bella, I'm gonna take you guys to my dad, I'll drive." He had put Elizabeth on his lap as he drove all the way to his house.

When he arrived to his house, he had ran in with Elizabeth forgetting Bella was even in her truck. He banged his door open he saw Harry Clearwater and his dad sitting in front of the tv. Once they turned around, they panicked and got straight to healing her up. What Jacob couldn't understand was the fear that he saw in their eyes of Elizabeth being hurt.

"Do you think she'll wake up?"

"Sue said she'll be fine, Charlie."

"Bella, what the hell were you thinking! Your sister is too small, too fragile to be on that death machine! So are you!"

Elizabeth could hear muffled shouting of both Bella and Charlie, she wanted to tell them to stop, but she didn't have the energy to get up. Her limbs were limp, her body ached, and her head pounded. She could hear Billy intervene on the family feud, she knew she must be still at the reservation.

She could feel warmth all around her. She could feel the pull, this time it was stronger, like whoever the pull belonged to was here in this room with her. Her heart skipped a beat, she lay frozen, maybe it just wasn't her time yet. The little Swan let's sleep take over, her breaths became even again, she could hear Charlie start on Bella again.

Moment later, Elizabeth had yet again, woken up due to light chatter. She was able to move her fingers this time, she just couldn't move her left hand, the one she fell on. She slowly opened her eyes, the dim lights caused her to squint slightly, she moved her head to the side and connected eyes with Billy. She squeezed her eyes shut at the thumping pain in her head, she could hear him wheeling himself over to her.

"How are you feeling, Tala?" His voice was soft, she smiles at him.

"I'm a-alright, headache." She mutters, she rolls herself into a small ball.

"You are very lucky," he sighs. "What made you think it would be okay to hop on a death machine like that?"

"B-Bella asked," she frowns. "I had to be a good sister.." she trails off remembering what her sister had said and the threats her mother had pulled. "I'm sorry I worried you."

"Don't be. Just don't do that again, everyone was worried sick." Elizabeth smiles at the funny face he creates, she just didn't see that it was an angry expression.

Elizabeth steadily sits up with the help of Billy, she moved some hair out of her face with her injury free hand. She grimaces at the feeling of dry blood near her head, she stares down at her wrapped hand and sighs. This was all her fault, she and Bella were injured because of her.

A woman with scars along her face handed her a glass of water, the scars made her even more beautiful. She blushes slightly and smiles, "thank you."

"You're welcome, sweetheart. Glad you're up." The woman said handing the smaller girl some painkillers, "take those, you will feel better." She placed a soft hand upon her thigh.

Elizabeth was washed over with warmth, this woman gave off a motherly feeling, she just wanted to lean into the touch and cuddle up to her. She blushed even darker as she kept the thoughts going, she took the pills and let the cold water damp her sandpaper like throat. She smiles shyly, "I'm Elizabeth."

"I've heard nothing but good comments about you, my name is Emily." The Native woman stares softly, her eyes show nothing but kindness. "You must be hungry, I've just made breakfast."

She moves away to go grab an extra plate, Elizabeth's nose scrunched up, breakfast? But it should be dinner time by now? Billy notices her confusion and chuckles, "you've slept a whole day."

Her eyes widen, "oh goodness." She nervously picked at the hem of the jumper she wore. "Is Bella okay?"

"She's fine, just a bump to the head. You got the brunt of it." His eyes harden as he heard her ask about Bella. Jacob had told him the truth after he did try to lie, but when it came to Elizabeth, he wanted the truth. Not because two wolves imprinted on her, but because she was too innocent for this world.

"I'm sorry," she looks down ashamed. "I didn't mean to cause so much trouble for everyone."

Billy's eyes soften, his eyes connected with the Alpha who had heard everything. Emily frowns when she heard her words, she turns to Jared who's eyes were hardening at each thing she said. "Tala, nobody mad at you. You've done no wrong, you were forced into something you didn't want to do."

Her blue teary eyes met with his darker ones, she knew that Billy knew about her mother favouriting Bella. He knew she was being secretive, but she didn't want to get in trouble, "I-I wasn't forced, I was being a good sister."

Billy held a knowing look within his knowledgeable eyes. "Elizabeth." She stares at him with wide eyes, "did your mother say you had to be a good sister?"

Elizabeth did not answer, she stares down at her lap, biting her lip gently. She wanted to curl away from everyone's prying eyes, she hears Billy mutter a few things, bad things about her mother.

"What nonsense has she filled your head with?" Billy states, but Emily came back down to her with a plate filled with sausages, bacon, eggs and beans. "Elizabeth, remember you're not alone. If you ever need to talk come to me."

"Okay." She whispers quietly. Billy was soon given a plate and everyone began eating in silence, she noticed two familiar half-naked men in the room, she was nervous and tries to keep quiet.

Billy clears his throat to start a conversation within the tense air, "Tala, this is Sam Uley and Jared Cameron, you've already met Emily Young." Elizabeth lifts her head slightly and smiles, "– everyone this is Elizabeth Swan."

"N-Nice to meet you."
