Focus, Jacob, Quil said. You want him, you got him, but do it now.<br />

Jacob shook himself and growled again. Quil, Embry, help me get him. Seth . . . He wasn’t sure he<br />

could trust any of his pack to take care of Renesmee until the Bloodsucker was dead.<br />

I got this, Jake. I’ll get her somewhere safe. Trust me. Seth stepped up beside his alpha. Trust me.<br />

“You’re too late,” Caius said with a calm façade. He moved slowly around the table, putting it<br />

between himself and the Shifters. “She’s already been injected. Is it really worth it now? Very soon,<br />

she’ll either be dead or a half-human Bloodsucker. A few days perhaps will tell us if it’s worked.”<br />

Jacob couldn’t let himself look at her again. Not when all he wanted to do was shift and carry her<br />

away himself. It was too dangerous still. He shook himself again and lowered his ears. Quil, Embry,<br />

follow my lead. Seth, get her out of here as soon as we’ve got the fucker out of the way.<br />

The pack acknowledged the command. Seth stepped back and let the others do their job. Caius’<br />

smile disappeared when the shifters came toward him. He jumped to the ceiling and dug his fingers<br />

into the wood, clawing a hole to slip through. Pieces of lumber fell to the floor, just missing the table<br />

Renesmee was on. Jacob cursed. He wasn’t going to let Caius get away again. The three Shifters<br />

went after him, catching up easily this time.<br />

Once they were out of the room, Seth shifted and walked over to Renesmee. She was crying silently,<br />

holding her arm as though it were broken. He put his hand on her shoulder, and she jerked away,<br />

looking up at him with frightened eyes.<br />

“Hi,” he said. “Remember me? I’m Seth. I’m going to get you out of here.” He picked her up. She<br />

was shaking and tense. “You’re safe now, okay?”<br />

Renesmee could just barely make out what he was telling her. She knew who he was and that he<br />

wanted to help her. She tried to relax, but the burning had already spread through most of her body.<br />

It hurt in a way she had never experienced before, like she was literally bursting into flame on the<br />

inside. Seth carried her out of the cabin. In the distance, she heard the Bloodsucker’s screams.<br />

She cringed and tried to cover her ears. She pressed one ear to Seth’s chest and listened to his<br />

heart. The rhythmic thumping didn’t do much to block out the other sounds. She wasn’t sure where<br />

they were going or how long it would take to get there. As the pain spread further and deeper, she<br />

began to feel woozy. Her head started to spin. She clutched at Seth’s arms to keep from falling,<br />

even though he had a steady hold on her.<br />

“You’re okay, Ness,” he told her. “I’ve got you.”<br />

It was the last sound she heard before everything went black.<br />
