Elizabeth, better known as Lizzie, was a Winchester by birth but a Cullen by nature.
Growing up as a Winchester was never easy for her, she couldn't remember a time where she wasn't dislodging some poor monster's head from the rest of its body. Not...

The sun was slowly setting by the time Lizzie and Edward arrived at the campsite. Jacob was setting up the last of the things while Bella sat on a rock and watched him. She instantly perked up when she saw the two Cullens and Jacob immediately felt at ease when he sensed his imprint near.
"Hey, beautiful," Jake smiled.
"Hi, handsome," Lizzie said and left Edward's side to walk up to her boyfriend's instead.
Bella also stood up from where she was to almost trip over a small tree root and land in Edward's overly cautious arms. He hugged her tightly and kept Bella's hand in his grasp as a sort of anchor.
"You okay?" Jacob asked.
"Mm," Lizzie nodded and smiled. "I'm fine."
He used his hand to push the hair out of her face and behind her ear before he cupped her cheek and planted a kiss on her forehead. Lizzie closed her eyes at the affection and found herself instinctively melting into Jake's embrace with his arms protectively wound around her waist.
After a minute or two, Edward and Jacob meet each other's gaze and nodded. As much as the wolf hated when the vampire read his mind it was the easiest way to communicate what he needed to without making Lizzie and Bella more worried than they already were. Edward shook his head in confirmation and Jacob let out a breath.
Everyone was beyond anxious at this point.
"We should get inside the tent before the storm hits," Jake stated once nightfall was finally surrounding them.
They couldn't make a fire because the smell would attract attention once the newborns and Victoria arrived. So all Bella had to keep warm were the layers she was wearing and the blankets Edward had packed. Initially, the tent they were going to bring was only big enough to fit two people, but when it was official that Lizzie would be joining them, Alice insisted on getting a bigger one. And it was lucky they did, too, since the pack sent Seth to the mountains as well.
"Babe, you're burning up," Jake said, a worried expression on his face.
It was somewhere after midnight already, Bella was asleep beside Edward, and Seth was curled up in the corner of the tent nearest to Jacob and Lizzie. The youngest wolf felt calm whenever he was with Lizzie and since his sister and Damon weren't with him, she was the closest feeling to comfort he had. Jacob didn't mind and even offered up his pillow and sleeping bag to Seth, who was more than happy to take them from him.
Lizzie held a hand to her forehead and cheeks. "I'm fine," she shook her head.
She really was running a fever, but she guessed it had to do with the period she was still unluckily suffering from. She didn't think too much about it and was more concerned about her cousin, who was starting to shiver with the symptoms of hyperthermia.
"Bella's getting too cold," Lizzie said voicing what Edward was panicking about in his mind.
