PROILODGY

The first time I laid eyes on his face, my attraction started. Then I
did not realize there was a connection between us, one that I could not
just fight. I don’t know if it was his ambiance, or the fact that he didn’t
have a heart beat but which ever it was, I was addicted.
It started out as a normal day in my college life. I was in my final
year of medical school for the second time; I was just about finish holding
a B minus average. My days were long and my nights even longer, seeing
how I didn’t sleep. I walked into my class late and there he was so pale,
his scent was the first thing that fascinated me about him, it was so
captivating. I told myself I wasn’t going to take a seat anywhere near him
but it was like I couldn’t control my legs and before I knew it I was sitting
right next to him. When I say besides him I got a better view of him, he
stared at me, and his blue eyes were beautiful, crystal blue like the ocean.
I couldn’t even listen to the lecture the professor was giving. I didn’t know
what I should say or even if I ought to say anything. I just inhaled his
scent deeply, I felt as if I was intoxicated.
It seemed as if after that day everywhere I went he was nearby,
there just watching not ever saying anything. I tried my best to leave
whenever I saw him but I was drawn to him, drawn to him like a moth to
an open flame. I didn’t learn his name until 6 months later, and now that
name was embedded in my skull, Edward.
“Why are you stalking me,” I was sitting in the library when he came
up to me.
“Are you seriously asking me that,” my jaw dropped, I felt my angry
increase.
“You’re always in my face, aren’t you?” I stood up because I knew
he had to be out of his mind.
“Hold on sir! Don’t you come over here talking to me like that!” the
librarian shhh me. I lower my voice. “I didn’t even know you were here” I
lied; he was here with his adopted brothers.
“Yeah sure,” he came closer.
“Get out of my face,” my hands started to shake. I was losing it.
“Oooo, you know this is the first time I’ve ever heard you speak.
You have a sexy voice.”
“Really? You know, my fiancée tells me the same thing, now if you
don’t mind,” I gathered my belongings.
“Nice,” he moved closer to my face this time.
“Where’s Bella?” I almost laughed at the way his face changed. Bella
was his wife, yeah you heard me right, his wife, and they were married for
a few years now from what I understood.
 “That was a low blow.”
“I don’t play fair,” I took my things and started to leave. He grabbed
my arm.
“I’ll see you later, I’m sure,” I tried to yanked away but he didn’t let
me go.
“Let me go Edward,” that was the first time; I had said his name out
loud. It felt as if that name, as if I sang it and with that he let me go. I
walked almost ran away.

The way she said my name, I knew I was playing with fire but I
wasn’t going to let her run away so easily, I had to see what it was she
was going to do. I followed her out she was walking at top speed I had to
almost run to keep up with her, she was in the parking lot, I watched her
go to her car and drop her bags off, she looked around and before I knew
it she took off into this large grass field. She was running at top speed,
and then she stopped. As she started running the rain began to fall, soon
after thunder and lighting followed.
“Why are you following me Edward?” she turned to me.
“How….” I knew how, I just wanted to hear the words from her
mouth.
“How are you even able to keep up with me?”
“Your smell…”
“Why are you following me?” she signed. “I just need to run.”
“Are you a vampire?”
“Are you?”
“Yes,” I answered as she charged me good thing there was a
thunder storm because she hit me so hard there was a loud BOOM. “What
are you doing,” she hit me again and ran away, this time at top speed, I
could keep up with her easily but I didn’t want to run her off so I kept a
safe distance behind her.
“You’re pretty fast Edward,” she said stopped again.
“So are you and your fiancée one or is it just you.”
“Just me,” She turned to me; it looked as if I hit a sore spot.
“Dana…”
“What do you want me from Edward?” she thought, the rain still
falling, I could see through her clothes and I’m sure she could see through
mine.
“What do you eat?”
“You, if you don’t leave me alone.”
“I’d like to see you try,” I sneered at her, she smiled.
 “This should be interesting,” she charged at me without warning.
We hit the ground hard causing the earth to quake, she laughed as got off
me. “Come on now! Don’t tell me you’re hurt, I was holding back with that
hit” she laughed hard, I ran towards her and she jumped into the air, we
were both going at each other throats for the good of the night. The sun
was starting to rise when she told me, we needed to stop.
“Man! Where did the time go,” I said.
“Well looks like wife is going to be upset about this.”
“You’re probably right,” I looked at her. “What about you?”
“Nope, I’ll just tell him I got a craving.”
“You never answered my question.”
“I know.”
“Dana, don’t be like that.”
“I don’t eat humans if that’s what you think.”
“I wasn’t, but you were thinking it.”
“Why am I even talking to him? You need to leave Dana.”
“You don’t have to go,” she looked at me.
“How in the world.”
“I can hear you Dana, it’s my talent. I can hear what people think.”
“Can you really, well you should know why I don’t want to be
bothered,” I closed my eyes listened to the thoughts running through her
head, she was alone in this world. She thought she was the only one of
her kind left until she met me; she had an attraction for me, one she
couldn’t deny but was trying her hardest to fight. She’s lost anyone she
held dear to a werewolf, she hates her kind but doesn’t have it in her to
kill her or have herself killed.
“That is enough Edward,” her eyes were gloomy.
“You got any special talents,” I asked as she smiled.
“Yea I do and get out of my head because I’m not going to think
about it,” but she couldn’t help but think about it.
“You can really do that.”
“Without them even knowing what happen,” she smiled.
“I’ve never seen it happen before, I’ve never even heard of it,”
“My mom use to tell me I’m one of a kind.”
“You got to come home with me!”
“There are more of you?”
“Yea, will you come?”
“I don’t know Eddie.”
“I like that.”
“What?”
“Eddie,” she smiled.
 “Ok, give me an hour, got to go and check on the future hubby.”
“You better come.”
“Or what,” she challenge.
“We may have called it a draw but that’s because I was holding back
on you but there is something difficult about fighting with you, it’s like you
fight with your heart and not your head.”
“What is that suppose to mean?”
“I can’t read people hearts.” she smiled.
“If I didn’t know any better, I’d have to say you were flirting with
me Eddie,” and with that she took off.
“You’d be right, Ms. Williams,” I took off home.

“Edward what were you thinking!” Jasper yelled, I looked at the

faces of my family members, not one of them seemed pleased.
“She’s all alone in this world, what else am I suppose to do, I can’t
help but hear her thoughts, she’s lonely and she’s never even tasted
human blood.”
“If I didn’t know any better, I’d say you liked this girl Edward,” Alice
came up behind them.
“I do,” Bella coughed. “Bella I know you’re not threaten,” she
smiled.
“I know where you're heart is,” she smiled. “And how to get to it,”
she flexed her muscles.
“She’s here and smells like she brought her pet,” Rosaline said.
“Hey! That use to be me!” Bella threw a pillow at her.
“Edward, come out first. Can you hear me?”
“I’ll be back, you guys be nice.”
“Hey!”
“He just wanted to drop me off, don’t worry he’s not staying,”
Edward watched them; they reminded him of him and Bella not so long
ago.
“I’ll be back,” she kissed him.
“Does he know?”
“About me, yes about you guys no,” they stopped at the front door.
“It’s not my place to tell him or anybody else for that matter,” we enter
the house. “Are you the only one who can read people minds?”
“Yes I am the only one who read people minds to answer your
question.”
“Ok good,” they walked into the room.
 Their house was beautiful, beyond beautiful. Everything decked out
in all white, even every member of the family. They all looked at me
surprised.
“Hi Dana,” the oldest male, introduced himself as Carlise. He was
sexy, as a matter of fact they all were, but none of them had anything on
Edward. He laughed.
“I forgot you were in my head.”
“You’re black,” the one with short black hair said, who I later found
out was Alice.
“Oh my Gosh,” Bella said, I recognized her from school.
“What gave it away? Here I was trying to hide it,” they all smiled.
“Hi, I’m Esme, the mother,” there was something about her, she
reminded me of the things I missed most in my mom. I liked her from that
moment. Everyone else introduce themselves to me.
“Edward tells us, you have an interesting talent,” Carlise said.
“Is there anything you didn’t tell them?”
“Sorry,” I cut my eyes at him.
“No, I'm sorry if you don’t want to talk about it, that’s acceptable.”
“No it’s not that. Its just it’s been a while since I’ve seen or been
around vampires,” he smiled.
“What exactly is it that you can do,” the beautiful blonde asked.
“I can control people sort of,” they all looked confused.
“It’s more than that and you know it,” Edward said.
“You are getting on my nerves,” he laughed.
“She can take over a host and the host being us,” all their eyes got
wide.
“Will you give us a demonstration?” Carlise asked.
“I don’t know, usually when I do so, I get all there memories and
thoughts they were thinking at that particular time. I don’t know a lot of
people who like to share their past.”
“You’re right but I do want you to do this. I never met anyone like
you or even heard of it. Would you mind answering some questions?”
“No problem.”
“When was the last time you did it?”
“Three years ago,” the memory of my mother came back as soon as
he asked the question; Edward looked at me with pity.
“Are you powers limited to vampires or can you do humans too?”
Carlise distracted me.
“I can do anything, humans, vampires, animals, werewolves, and
the whole nine.”
“That’s astonishing!” I couldn’t help but smile at him.
 “What happens to the host when you take over?”
“Well I can hear them and if they are very strong, I’ll even act on
their last act but once I leave they go back to doing what it was they were
last doing.”
“How long can you stay?”
“I’ve never stayed longer than what I need to defend myself.”
“What happens to your body while you in someone else.”
“It usually falls over.”
“Ok I have to see this for myself!” I couldn’t help but laugh at him.
“But I do have one more question.”
“Ok.”
“As you know Edward read minds,” I nodded. “If you take over his
body, would you be able to read people thoughts, like when you take over
your host, do you take over their powers as well?”
“Yes.”
“Edward would you?”
“Carlise…..” I wasn’t sure about this.
“It’s okay Dana, I would love to see this, well be apart of it,” he
smiled.
“Ok but be sure to clear your head, I don’t want to take over and I
just go over and kiss Bella,” everyone laughed.
“Well let me get that out of the way,” he walked over to her.
“I can’t watch this, Dana why are you tripping they’re married!”
Edward turned and stared at me. “Sorry,” he smiled and I didn’t feel as
bad.
“Are you ready?” he just nodded. “Attack me.”
“What?” he looked puzzle as did everyone else.
“Attack me, and give me your all.”
“Why?”
“My powers work best when I'm upset but I need you to really hit
me Edward, none of that little playing holding back, it is necessary that I
am upset.”
“I can’t attack you.”
“Why not?”
“He can’t think of ways to kill people he care about; believe me I
know all about this,” Bella spoke.
“Why don’t I just talk about how you were stalking me, acting so
pathetic, like a lost puppy, you want to talk about that Dana?”
“Come again?!” I yelled as Rosalie snicker.
“She wasn’t Edward,” Emmet joked.
 “You should have seen her, it was just pitiful. Hey Dana, why don’t
you tell everybody what really happen to your mother.”
I felt bad for doing this to her but I know it’s what I had to do to
make her mad.
“Go on Dana, tell them how you killed your mother, I hope you have
improved your control of your powers this time,” I saw her eyes go black.
“Edward, maybe you should back off,” Jasper warned.
“For what, she’s a nobody who has nobody.”
“I don’t want to kill you.”
“Edward?” I heard someone call; I opened my eyes to see my body
fall over.
“Guess again.”
“I am truly sorry Dana; it’s what I had to do please understand.”
“Dana,” Carlise called
“Yes.”
“How do you feel?”
“I’m trying to calm down,” I listen to myself breathe and before I
knew it. I was hit with everyone on the room thoughts.
“Wow.”
“This is truly amazing.”
“How are we suppose to control this?”
“What a magnificent addition she would make to the family.”
“Is Edward ok?”
“Could everyone please stop thinking so much, jeez? His memories
are hitting me like a bat out of hell” I got more than a thousand sorries, it
felt like. There was a silence throughout the house.
“Is Edward ok?”
“He’s fine Bella, don’t worry I won’t let any damage come t o him,” I
opened my eyes. “Wow, he’s tall,” they all laughed.
“This is incredible Dana.”
“It’s something.”
“You mind running for me?” I looked at him confused.
“Sure,” I took off; he was in actuality very fast. I thought I was fast.
I came back.
“How do you feel?”
“I’m all right,” I walked over to my body, and lifted me to myself
and placed my body on the couch.
“I’m beautiful,” Rosalie laughed.
“Talk about shallow”
“Sorry”
“You are never lying” Emmet thought. I turned and smiled at him.
 “Thank you” he blushed.
“Can I go back into my body” I looked at Carlise, he nodded. The
transaction took places with no trouble.
“Edward, are you okay” Bella asked.
“Did it happen?”
“Yea” Dana answered. “He really loves you Bella” she laughed.
“Thanks”
“The yearning, the desire is the one thing that stands out, I just
about want to come over and kiss you right now”
“So even after you leave the body you still feel their strongest
emotion?”
“Yea, sometimes.”
“Fascinating.”
“You guys have a daughter,” she looked at Bella and I.
“Yea,” Bella answered “We wanted to keep her…”
“Safe, I know. You don’t have to explain. I already know and would
have done the same thing. She looks more like you if you ask me though,”
a memory of Neese popped up in Dana’s head, from when she was 2
years old.
“Dana….” Jasper whispered, who had been just about completely
silent the entire time.
“Don’t worry Jay, she’ll be joining us soon enough,” Alice smiled,
Dana looked at her
“She does that a lot” I thought.
“I can hear you in my head” she said to me.
“How is that possible?”
“Can you hear me?”
“Yeah, I can”
“It’s just temporary, don’t worry it’ll fade away”
“Will you stay the night?”
“No, I need to be going anyway”
“I should be heading out”
“Won’t you hang around for a while?” Bella asked.
“Yeah!” Alice agreed.
“I have to get back to Charles; he’s most likely worried sick.”
“He’s sleeping, come on Dana”
“Maybe a few more hours,” Alice and Bella squealed.
“Where do you shop?”
“Paris,” they all laughed as the three of them walked up the stairs.
As soon as the coast was clear, the remainder of us got to talking,
we walked into the kitchen.
 “She’s more powerful than she understands” Carlise said.
“She has to join our team before the Volutri find her” Jasper said.
“I agree”
“What about her mate, I doubt she will leave him and he makes us
vulnerable, we don’t want to be in the same place we were 4 years ago.”
Rosalie said.
“She can change him” Emmet answered.
“That’s not going to happen for two reasons. One, she doesn’t think
she can control herself and two he doesn’t want to be changed. The whole
immortal doesn’t fit him”
“How long has she been alone?” Esme said.
“Three years”
“What happen to her mother” Carlise asked.
“They were being attacked by werewolves, she took control of one
who was attacking her mother and somehow his angry overtook her and
she killed her mother but once she took control of him and realize what
she had done she explode him from the inside out. She killed six
werewolves that night all by herself.”
“WHAT!” Jasper was really getting excited about her.
“There is one negative aspect about her” they all looked at him.
“She hates werewolves and has vowed to kill anyone of them on sight”
Rosalie smirked.
“Maybe the two of us, will get along great” the doorbell rang.
“That must be Charles” Dana came running down the stairs. “Ugh, it
smells like a wet dog” we all took off; I was the first to make it to her.
“Dana, wait!” her eyes were already black.
“What’s the matter” Bella and Alice asked.
“Long story short, Dana’s going kill Jacob”
“I’m going to blow this dog to pieces”
“I’d like to see you try” Jacob responded as Bella stood in between
them, she protected Jacob.
“Bella please move” her eyes never left him; Emmet and I were both
holding her back.
“Dana please calm down” Carlise pleaded.
“Jacob, please try to work with me here, a werewolves killed her
mother.”
“Paul’s coming up” he spoke as Paul, came up the stairs, Bella put
him inside of the shield.
“Who’s this …..” he went off into a dazed.
“Uh oh” Jacob said as Emmet took Dana into the back.
 “What?” everyone asked but me because I had already read his
thoughts.
“This cannot be good!” I said aloud.
“What is it son”
“He’s imprinted on her” the house fell silent.
“Dana would you cool down”
“Emmet. I highly recommend that you let me go before I take
control over your body and do some real damage” he laughed at me.
“Dana, around here werewolves are a big part of our lives. You can’t
kill one without putting our entire family in danger” I calmed down; they
hadn’t been anything but nice to me it wouldn’t be fair if I put them in
danger.
“Just let me go. I need to clear my head”
“I don’t know if I believe you” he laughed.
“What does imprint mean”
“It's what happens when a werewolf finds its mate”
“WHAT!!!!”
“What?”
“I read Edwards thoughts, can I please leave.” He released me and
with that I took off. I couldn’t believe a freaking werewolf imprinted on me
and the Cullens walk around with these werewolves like everything is cool.
I had to leave.
“Dana don’t go” it was Edward.

There wasn’t one move in the house, until Emmet came back into
the front.
“Edward what were you thinking about man, she took off”
“Paul imprinted on her”
“How is that even possible? She’s a vampire, I thought we were
your mortal enemies” he laughed,
“I imprinted Neese” Jacob spoke.
“What’s her name” Paul asked.
“Dana, I advise you stay away from her Paul at least for a while, this
girl is dangerous and she doesn’t even know how risky she is” Carlise
warned.
“Easier said than done” both Jacob and Paul said at the same time.
“She’s about to leave”
“Where’s she going?” Esme asked.
“I don’t know and neither does she. But you’d better stay away from
her. She’s still close because I can hear her thoughts but she’s going fast”
“Edward cant you talk to her” Esme said.
 “Dana don’t go”
“Are you serious that dog imprinted on me?”
“Dana come back”
“That is okay but you tell that mutt if he comes anywhere near me.
I’m going to make him rip his own head off”
“They can’t control it Dana”
“Well he better learn”
“Edward you have to find her, she’s going to run into a lot of
trouble, if we don’t help her” Alice said, it had been three days since Dana
had ran away.
“I don’t know how” I couldn’t lie about not seeing her or even
hearing her.
“She’s in Paris but she’s coming back. Part of her wants to be apart
of this family but the other part wants to kill werewolves.” She looked at
Paul, he looked ill.
“I’m all right” he said, but I was in his thoughts and I knew how
much he missed her, how much he needed her and how worried he really
was.
“You can’t go looking for her, not right now” I tried to reason with
him.
“I know how hard it is believe me but she’ll kill you and then you’ll
never know what could have been” Carlise tried to be rationale with him.
“But a bloodsucker, I imprinted on a bloodsucker” he put on his hard
act for Jacob but I knew better. “’What’s my pack going to say, when I
transition they’re all going to know” Jacob laughed at him.
“That’s the least of your worries, just wait a couple more days;
you’re going to be sick without her.” Jacob laughed but he knew in a few
days he’d be feeling sorry for his friend.
“Do we need to warn Sam about her” Jacob asked.
“No she’s not going to attack any of you; at least that’s what she
was thinking when she left. She doesn’t want to put the family’s safety in
jeopardy.”
“I still think its best if we do, just in case she just so happens to
change her mind” there was a knock at the door.
“Hmmm, I smell human” Alice said.
“Its Charles, he’s looking for Dana” I went to answer the door.
“Hi, can we help you” he was upset.
“Where’s Dana”
“I don’t know”
“Stop lying to me, I know she’s in there. I haven’t seen her since I
dropped her off here!” he was yelled.
 “Things got out of control here the last time she was over here, she
ran away. We haven’t seen or talk to her since and we have been looking
for her also. Please come in” he came in and as fate would have it, he sat
right next to Paul. The two of their thoughts were driving me insane. Both
of them thinking about nothing but her.
“Whose he” Bella asked as she inhaled deeply. “Human?” she
thought.
“Yea he’s Dana’s fiancé” I saw Paul get angry, Jacob got up and
moved closer, it was no secret that he was a hot head.
“I'm going to kill him” were the first words to come across his mind.
“What happen here to make her want to leave? Did she lose her
temper?”
“So what if she did” Paul defended her.
“She loses it when she does, that’s why I gave her a few days but
she’s never been gone this long. She’s nearly killed me before countless
times”
“I’m going to rip his head off, you don’t deserve her. She’s special!”
Jacob jumped on Paul before things went too far.
“She’s got to you” he laughed. “I don’t have any friend because they
all fall for her, looks like you got it bad” he was really laughing.
“I think its best if you leave” he was starting to irritate me with his
thoughts.
“Well tell Dana when she comes back, I'm looking for her.” he
walked to the door.
Alice came running down the stairs, “She’s on her way with
someone close on her heels she doesn’t know if she should come back
here, she’s afraid. Too many human around to kill her followers” I was
worried.
“What do you mean followers” Paul said. “How many are there”
“I don’t know, you know I can’t see your kind”
“I’m going to get the pack; you guys might want to get ready”
“Alice, go get everyone, we need to talk”
“Be back in a sec” she took off.
“Paul and I will be back soon”
“Why are they following me?” I didn’t know what to do or who to
turn to but I know I couldn’t kill them all by myself; they seemed to know
about my powers. Who could have told them? I didn’t have a choice but to
go to the only people i knew who could help me, maybe they could tell the
who and what exact it is they want from me.
“Edward, I hope you can hear me. I don’t want to bring trouble to
your home. Can you meet me at the field where you were fighting? Make
sure you haul ass too, I’m going to be there within minutes and I can’t
stop for too long. Thanks a million Eddie” I stopped at my car and waited
for him to show. I watched as Edward showed, I started to walk over
towards him when I saw that damn mutt. I had to swallow my feelings
because I knew they would be here soon. I walked over to him.
“Did you have to bring the mutt” I looked at him and he smile, I
rolled my eyes.
“Be nice, they’re only here to help”
“They’re? You brought their pack?”
“And my family is on the way, Dana you may not know this but the
day you walked into that house, you became apart of my family. Esme has
really taken to you” I couldn’t help but smile thinking of her.
“I don’t want to get you all involve in this”
“Don’t worry about it but you owe me” I couldn’t help but smile at
him.
“Thank you”
“You owe Paul a thank you too” he pissed me off, even though I
knew he was right.
“I don’t owe him anything; it’s werewolves that are after me.”
“Why would they be after you?”
“I did kill a pack three years ago”
“Its not me Dana, I wont let any harm come to you” I looked into
his face, he was cute there was no denying that with his long hair now cut,
black eyes but he was a werewolf.
“Thank you” he smiled. I turned as the rest of the family arrived.
“Are you okay?” Esme asked.
“I’m fine mother!” everyone laughed.
“So you’re going to join us now?” Jasper asked.
“I’m seriously thinking about it” I admitted truthfully. “But it’s not
likely; I bring a lot of drama”.
“We don’t care, there’s always drama with us” Edward said.
“Please, get out of my head” I half joked as a werewolf came.
Jacob came over to us in his werewolf form, I grabbed Dana’s arm.
“I'm okay” she back away not because she was afraid but as a
precaution.
“They changed courses when they realized how big our packs are;
tell her we still need for her to remain close just in case although. We
don’t know if they’ll be back”
“What’s he saying Edward” Esme asked.
“Dana, they’ve changed courses but you have to stay for a while”
“Have to…”
 “Just for a little a while Dana” Esme said she put her head down.
“Ok I’ll be back” she took off.
“Don’t worry Esme, she’ll be back” Bella looked at me confused, I
just shrugged my shoulders. Paul transformed and took off. “She won’t
hurt him Jacob”
I had to stay, it’s not like I didn’t want to leave but I didn’t want to
stay, I was so confused, I didn’t want to put myself in their mix and end
up losing them. I ran into a forest, as I ran I started to smell the ocean,
there must be a beach was, the beach is where I wanted to go, the ocean
is what I wanted to listen to. This forest smelled like wet dog, so I knew
there were werewolves hidden somewhere in there but what could I do, I
just ran, I ran until my feet were in the waters. I let the wind blow my
long black ebony hair; I spread my arms outwards and the wind takes me
to a place I so long to go away from anybody away from any emotion
away from everything.
“Don’t come any closer” I had heard him panting like some animal in
heat.
“You don’t understand Dana” I didn’t turn to him, I couldn’t.
“What is there to understand?”
“I just want you to be secure and happy and I know you won’t find
it without me”
“Is that so” I turned to him, and I saw him standing there with no
shirt on, his bare chest was smooth like caramel.
“Just let me protect you” I ran into him, the both of us hit the
ground; I lay on top of him.
“What makes you think I'm the one who needs protecting” I
laughed, he didn’t even protect himself. I got off of him.
“You do”. I ran into him again this time harder, I heard a bone
crack.
“You know this is no fun if you don’t fight back” he just smiled in the
mist of all his pain. “You're so trusting, what makes you think I won’t kill
you right now” I was still on top of him, he didn’t said anything.
“I don’t know but you know what Dana, I don’t care life without you
will not be worth living anyway” I let him go and stood up.
“You don’t even know me” he got up; you could see it was his arm
that was hurt.
“I don’t need to know you to know that you’re my soul mate. It’s the
whole imprinting thing”
“I’ve heard of it” I took a step closer. “You know had this been any
other day, I would kill you and not even think twice about it”
 “And had you been any other bloodsucker, I’d rip you to pieces and
burn the remains” I smiled. He took a step towards me it was his arm that
was hurt, I backed away from him. I turned to the water. There was a
silence between us.
“You should go get your arm checked out”
“I'm a fast healer” I shook my head.
“Have you ever just listened to the ocean?”
“Never” I turned back to him.
“Maybe you should”
“That’s not my thing” I couldn’t help but laugh. “Why are you
laughing?”
“I don’t know, I thought you’d be nicer to me seeing how you're
trying to get me to marry you and send the rest of my immortal life with
you”
“O” I laughed again, he was cute.
“Is there anyway I can get rid of you”
“Not likely” I just shook my head.
“Do me a favor, no transiting for now. It’ll take me some time before
I can get use to that and if you do don’t do it around me”
“No problem” I took another step closer to him. He reached out his
hand for me. I looked down at it. I took off.
There was a banging at the door, no one was sleep of course but
the house was silent. I was over to there door, and opened it. Paul was
standing there, apparently in pain.
“I almost had her” I went through his head and saw what went
down.
“I’ll go get Carlise for you” he nodded. We came back together,
Carlise had his doctor bag. He shook his head at Paul.
“At least she didn’t kill you” he shook his head and smiled.
“You must be tired” I said.
“I am but how can I sleep not knowing if she’s safe or not. I wanted
to follow her but something in me told me that was a bad idea.”
“Probably would have been” I walked over to him, Esme walked
down the stairs.
“I thought that would have been Dana”
“Seeing how easy you guys heal just put your arm in this sling, you
should be okay by morning. It isn’t shattered, just broken”
“I was just about to ask for you to come here” I said to Esme.
“I'm going to go lay down for a while as soon as she comes promise
me you’ll wake me” I nodded.
 “I know about you and Glesela” Esme face didn’t budge, they rest of
the family came into the living room along with Jacob.
“I figured it would be a matter of time before you knew” she smiled.
“Glesela was my best friend from when we were kids but she was black
and a slave. Dana looks exactly like her. I knew she had a daughter. I
can’t help but feel like a mother to her”
“How did she become a vampire” Carlise asked.
“I don’t know, I don’t even know if she's really Glesela’s daughter
but I do want to help her and I will”
“You really knew my mother” Dana stood there. I knew she was
there of course as did Alice but she needed to hear what Esme was saying.
She stood up and walked over to Dana.
“Yea I did, she was lovely and the best friend any girl could ask for.
She use to beat up all the bullies for me” she put her arms around Dana.
The two of them talked from the late night till the morning, I
couldn’t get one second with her.
“Eddie” its was about time.
“Hey” she smiled sweetly.
“You gonna stay?”
“For a while” I couldn’t help but smile.
“Charles came by here looking for you”
“Was he an ass?”
“….yea, Paul almost ripped his head off”
“Paul?”
“The mutt?”
“Yea” I laughed. “Did you have to break his arm?” she smiled.
“He’s lucky that’s all I did”
“Why did you run from him” her smiled faded.
“I feel like I'm betraying my mother by even considering a
relationship with him”
“But you can’t fight your feelings forever Dana”
“Don’t start”
“Ok ok” I put my hands up. “Well Bella and I are going home; you’ll
take over my bedroom”
“Ok, which one is that?”
“Upstairs the last room on the left” I knew it wasn’t my place to
interfere but she was being stubborn. “Bella’s lying down in the bed, tell
her to come on” she nodded and left.
“I know she isn’t sleep, I don’t even understand why she's in the
bed, I couldn’t deny that that was one of the things I missed most about
being human” I went into the room.
 “Bella” I shook her lightly. “Ugh, that damn Jacob dude must be
close” I shook her again. He turned. “I’m going to kill you Edward”
“Is she back?” he asked
“Yeah, I’m here,” I can’t lie, he touched my heart. He sat up, and
just stared in my head.
“You're so gorgeous”
“That much, I know” he smiled.
“I didn’t expect to you tonight”
“You can thank Edward”
“Can you tell me what happen tonight?”
“I don’t know….” I sat on the bed. “I feel like I’m betraying my
mother for even having the inkling of a feeling for you”
“Dana, give me a chance”
“This is too much Paul”
“You said my name” I turned my head.
“Yeah”
“It’s never sounded so wonderful”
“You're too much pup” I was just trying him to see if he could stand
I, if he wanted to be with me, he would have to be able to take my
tongue-lashings.
“But not enough bloodsucker” I laughed.
“Go back to sleep Paul, I’ll be here when you wake up”
“You’re going to stay?”
“It’s still up in the air but I'm not leaving tomorrow”he just stared at
me.
“Don’t hurt me okay”
“I promise” those were the last words he said before he drifted off
into a deep slumber, as he slept in the bed, I watched him. What he was
dreaming about, I wondered. What was I doing, I walked out the room
and down the hall. Alice was twirling around downstairs, I watched her
from the balcony. I heard a male laugh, Jasper was watching. I couldn’t
help but feel envious of her. As a matter of fact, I was envious of them all
Rosalie, Esme, Bella and Alice; they all had someone who would be with
them forever.
“Dana” she startled me.
“Hey Alice”
“Why don’t you come downstairs and join us” I started down the
stairs.
“I'm sorry, I didn’t mean to disrupt you guys” she smiled. “Hey
Jasper” he waved.
“Hey Dana” I sat on the couch across from him.
 “Jasper you mind if I ask you a question” I ran my fingers through
my hair.
“Sure, what’s on your mind?”
“Why is it, you want me apart of the ‘team’ so badly?”
“You're powerful, like Bella, Edward, Emmet, and my Alice”
“What about you” I looked him in the eyes.
“I do have a talent”.
“Which is?”
“I feel people energies and can kind of control them”
“Energies” I looked confused.
“Yeah, their emotions sort of”
“Really? What's my energy?”
“Confusion” he hit home with that word because it was exactly how
I was feeling. “I'm sorry” I laughed at him with his deer in headlights look.
“It’s fine, I'm not that hard a person to read” I suddenly felt a wave
of peace throughout my body. “Wow, did you do that” I looked at him
truly amazed, he just smiled.
“You mind telling me more about your power” finally something to
take my mind off Paul.
“Sure, shoot”
“What happen the first time it happen, you was the first person it
happen to, how did you even do it?” I smiled at him.
“It was my mother” they both laughed. “Yeah believe it or not, I
asked her for something, I can’t remember what it was exactly but she
said no and I got so mad at her the next thing I knew I was looking at the
world through her eyes.”
“How long have you been a vampire?”
“13 years”
“How old is your body”
“21”
“Your powers, you can take over people and blow them up from the
inside out”
“Pretty much”
“How’d you learn to control it?”
“My mom took me to this old man, an old wise vampire. He taught
me how to control it”
“Wow”
“Yeah but he never finished”
“Enough already Jasper” Alice was still twirling; she had such a
liberated spirit. You couldn’t help but like her little peculiar personality.
Rosaline and Emmet entered the room.
 “Hey Dana, didn’t know you were still here” Emmet said as him and
Rosaline sat down on the love seat.
“Yup, still here.”
“So Rosaline, what’s your power. Beauty?” she smiled.
“That’s no power” Jasper said.
“According to you, I don’t know one thing that can control a man
better” she smiled even harder.
“I try to tell them that” she played in her hair.
“How did you become a vampire Dana” Emmet asked.
“My mom turned me”
“What made her turn you?”
“She had a dream and turned us that very next day”
“A dream”
“Yeah my mother use to dream thing that would happen”
“Psychic?”
“I guess you could say that”
“How did she have a dream, when she didn’t sleep?”
“I still don’t understand why she called them dreams” they all just
nodded.
“How did she become one?”
“I don’t know, she never told me” we all sat on silence. The couples
paired off before me. “You want to know, what I don’t understand about
you guys” they all looked at me. “You guys are so trusting, I mean I could
be trying to kill you all, I'm not, don’t get me wrong but I could be”
“It’s not that we are trusting Dana, but I see your future and
Edward reads your mind. If you wanted to do us harm, we would know by
now” I nodded.
“Well I’m going to retire to the bedroom, I’m feeling kind of like the
fifth wheel here” I halfheartedly laughed.
“Dana…..” Alice rose.
“It’s fine; I have a pup upstairs to keep me company”. They all
looked at me suspiciously as I walked up the stairs. I opened the door and
made sure to close it behind me. Paul was still asleep, snoring loudly. I lay
next to him, and laid my head on his chest just so I could listen to his
heart beat.
“Bella honey are you okay”
“Fine, why’d you ask?”
“I was just wondering how you felt about this whole Dana situation”
she smiled at me, that smile that had trapped me the first time I laid my
eyes on her.
 “I understand you want to help her, I like her. She’s funny, nice, and
stubborn”
“Are you worried about her being around Paul and Jacob?”
“A little bit, but not so worried that I'm going to walk with them
24/7 when she's around. Does she know my power?”
“I'm not sure, but she does know everything about me and since
you're a big part of me. I'm pretty sure she does” she shrugged her
shoulders.
“You ready?”
“Where’s Neese”
“With Jacob of course”
“Then let’s go” we arrived at my parents house within minutes of
course. Everyone was up and about just doing normal things, I saw Neese
on Jacob's lap I walked over to her and kissed her forehead.
“Where’s Dana” Bella asked taking the questions right out of my
mouth.
“She's still upstairs with Paul”
“Are you guys sure that’s ok” she looked at me, I listened.
“He’s still sleeping but I don’t hear anything from Dana.” Me and
Jasper ran upstairs and her body was there laying still she almost looked
like she sleeping.
She's projecting” Carlise said, we both turned to him. “She came to
me last night and said she wanted to fly so I suggested and well she
hasn’t been back” Paul opened his eyes and saw her lying on his chest.
“What are you guys doing in here staring at me like that?”
“Were not looking at you” he eased up.
“Wait a minute! You guys don’t sleep! What's wrong with her?”
“Nothing, she projecting”
“What is projecting!” he was yelling by now causing everyone to run
upstairs.
“Do you have to scream? Jeez that is my ear you’re in!” Dana came
back.
“Where were you? I was worried”
“Did you hear him” Carlise asked
“Indistinctly but I yea I did” she cut her eyes at him.
“Did you know you could hear the thing your body heard” Jasper
asked.
“No but it’s usually loud when I'm projecting and I've never been so
far from my body”
“How was it” Carlise asked.
“Therapeutic”
 “My hair smells like a wet dog” she looked at Paul, he looked down
and she smiled. “Don’t tell me you're getting sensitive” she laughed.
“You can guess again, you don’t see me complain about my clothes
reeking of vampire juices” she hit him in the arm lightly but it was still
hard. “Ouch”
“Sorry forgot you were so tender” she looks at his arm in the sling.
“Sorry about that by the way”
“So whose body did you take over?”
“An eagle”
“What did you see” Jasper was very interested in her.
“Any and everything.” She looked me into my eyes.
“Really?”
“Yea, it was great” she looked around the room. “So what’s on the
schedule for today?”
“Nothing, really. We do have class” she rolled her eyes.
“No, that’s ok. I don’t feel like school”
“Paul, Sam’s looking for you so you may want to head down to La
Push” Jacob said. He looked at Dana and she looked back at him.
“What?”
“You want to come with me” he asked.
“Paul that may not be the wisest decision” Jacob looks at Dana.
“Don’t worry about that, I wasn’t going anyway. I'm not about to be
flocking around with a bunch of dogs. I’ll just go to class and then maybe
I’ll go shopping” that peaked Rosaline, Alice, and Neese interest.
“Maybe we can join” Alice smiled.
“That would be lovely”
“Mommy are you going to come too” Neese asked Bella.
“Sure” Bella still wasn’t keen on shopping.
“I don’t think we’ve been properly introduced” Dana looked for
Neese and when she emerged from crowd. “Oh my gosh you're four!”
Dana stood.
“Give or take” they both smiled, and made a connection, I didn’t
understand it. Neese reached out for Dana’s cheek and touched her lightly.
She took Dana through her history.
“Wow” was the only words that escaped her lips. “That’s amazing”
“I'm one of a kind”
“Me too” they both laughed. Bella looked at me. I shrugged my
shoulders.
“You do look more like Edward” Dana looked at Bella. “Sorry”
“Its something I’ve learn to realize” they both laughed.
 “I love your hair Dana” Neese ran her fingers through her. “Its thick
and wavy but smells” everyone started out the door.
“Dana” she turned back to me and stared in my eyes, I didn’t know
what to say or even how to say it. She smiled.
“I’ll see you tonight. Meet me at the lake when the sun sets” I could
no longer hold back my smile. She zoomed away with the rest of the
bloodsuckers.
“You going to come with me to La Push” I looked at Jacob. “I'm
going need some back up when the rest of them find out” he laughed at
me. “Ok here I come” together they walked outside and transition
together.
“Paul where have you been!” he heard his alpha demand.
“I'm on my way” I transitioned back I didn’t want them all in my
head the entire way there and I wasn’t looking forward to this meeting
anyway.
“Lets walk there”
“Whether we walk or transition, they’re going to know Paul” he
looked at me with pity.
“Just give me this walk” he shrugged.
“Leah knows”
“WHAT!”
“She transition one night when I was worried about you”
"Now I know you're whole packs knows! If not mine!"
"Your pack doesn't know, I told her not to tell anyone and that that
went for everyone"
"I don't know what to do Jacob, she's going to drive me insane!"
"She's warming up to you though" yea that was true even calling me
Paul. We walked in silent until Sam's house was eye view.
"I may be joining your pack Jacob" I half joked.
"You're more than welcome, you and the misses" he hit my
shoulder. It smelled like someone was cooking, we knocked and
entered.
"Well long time no see!" She smiled as I looked around; everyone
was there, both packs. I spoke to everyone.
"Where have you been Paul" Sam asked. "It’s not like you to
disappear with Jacob for days". I didn't say anything. I didn't know
what to say. He looked at me strangely. "So what's this news Jacob
tells us you have to tell everyone" he smiled. "Did you imprint" he
laugh.
"Yea" everyone cheered.
"Is she outside?" Quil stood.
 "No, she isn't here"
"Well who is she? Where did you meet her" Sam asked. I couldn't
even look in his eyes. “Jacob what's going on? I'm not
understanding this"
"Just tell them" he put his hand on my shoulder. I closed my eyes
and pictured her standing in the water, her arms up, the wind
blowing in her hair. The way her eyes soften when she looks at me.
That smile...
"Her name is Dana, she's a vampire" there was a silence throughout
the room. "I don't know how it happens! I didn't know it could
happen but it did and I love her. I'm in love with her" I didn't look
up for a second, there was just a silence, a dead silence, I looked
up, all of them in shock except Sam, he look upset, beyond that. He
ran out the house and a few minutes later, we heard a loud howl.
By the time, the sun was setting Sam still hadn't returned and
everyone else had come to terms with the idea. I felt a little better
but I still wanted to know what Sam thought. I said my goodbyes to
everyone and left. I still had a little time left so I transition; it had
been a while since I let myself go and when I did. It felt good, felt
better than good.
"Paul" it was Sam.
"I'm sorry" those were the only words I could think of, even though
this was something, I couldn't control.
"How did it happen"
"It’s not anything I can control Sam! You know how this works! You
think I wanted this! She hates our kind as much as I hate hers but
you know what I rather her kill me than live without her" he didn't
say anything. I made it to the lake. There she stood so beautiful and
peaceful. "She's so beautiful" that was my last thought before I
transition back. I walked over to her, she sat at the shore line her
feet in the ocean.
“What are you thinking about?”
“You, me, my life” she answered as she looked back. I sat next to
her, she moved closer to me. “Tell me why me” she looked at me.
“It’s not something I chose, it was predestined.”
“Predestined” she laughed lightly.
“You are different, you know”
“I know”
“Dana” I held my hand out for her, she looked down at it and lightly
placed her hand. There was something between us and I knew she felt it.
“We are Romeo and Juliet” she smiled.
 “Soul mates divided by who they are” she laid her head on my
shoulder. “I'm not going to kill myself for you” I couldn’t help but laugh.
“You won’t have to”
The next few months, you couldn’t separate us; I had fallen head
over heels for him. The smell I was getting use to, and while he slept I
projected into animals, exploring the world in the eyes of theirs. I was
learning to master my powers even the exploding. Paul wasn’t transiting at
all, and I couldn’t help but feel bad about it, I mean if I truly loved him, I
had to love all of him. So tonight I planned to see him. There were a
couple of small problems with us though, we kiss intensely but it never
went further than that. I didn’t want to hurt him and he didn’t want to hurt
me. Another one was Paul wasn’t sure how his pack would accept me so
we didn’t hang with them; he went from time to time. I wanted him to be
happy and if that meant I had to take some evil comments from a couple
of mutts then I would try my hardest.
“Dana are you sure about this”
“No but I need to see you, and that means all of you” we stood in
front of the Cullen’s home. Emmet was near by just on case I went crazy
but I doubt I would.
“Ok….” Edward came out of nowhere.
“Hi Eddie”
“Dana I need to talk to you”
“Can it wait, were kind of busy” and there it was, there he was, my
Paul, a beast in front of me. I took Edwards hand.
“He wants to come near you” I took a step toward him but never let
go of Edwards hand. “He doesn’t want me to come” I looked back at him
and let go of his hand. “He didn’t like you grabbing my hand” I looked him
in his eyes. His gray fur, I touched the back of his ear.
“Always so jealous” I placed my head on his. “I love you always” he
whimpered lightly. I looked back at Edward.
“He loves you too”
“Ok go play; Edward has some bad news for me”
“How do you know its bad news?”
“It is, isn’t it?”
“Its okay Paul, she’ll be fine”
“Go Paul” I hit him, he snarled at me and I blew him a kiss. “So tell
me what's wrong”
“There's nothing wrong, we miss you”
“Me and Neese but you know Jacob doesn’t let her out of his eye
sight even for the shortest amounts of time.” I laughed.
 “Then she if anybody understands what I'm going through. Only
break I get is when he’s asleep”
“How about me meet up tonight” I looked at him strangely. “I just
want to talk, no harm done”
“How about tomorrow’
“Ok” he seemed disappointed.
“Where”
“How about England”
“How about somewhere closer, I’ll meet you at your house and you
can follow me to a secret location” he smiled strangely, I looked at him
confusingly.
“What is up with you Edward” he just looked at me. “You are acting
very strange” Alice came up behind us and called him over. I followed, its
like the two of them were talking with their brains and I was beginning to
feel left out. So I walked away.
“Dana” I turned to her.
“Yes Alice”
“You mind if I ask you a question”
“Anything, shoot“
“It’s nothing Dana, Alice is just being a pest” he cut his eyes at her.
“I guess” and this time I made sure I got away before either one of
them could catch me.

“What are you trying to do?” Alice snapped at me.

“What”
“I saw you! What you're trying to do to her, with her!”
“I'm not going to do anything”
“I’ll tell you this! If my vision comes to past, expect a lot of trouble!
Think about Bella and Neese. Think about what it’ll do to Dana and Paul!
She finally happy! I know you're in her head constantly! Don’t be so
selfish!”
We sat in our usually spot, not exchanging words no words were
needed, we both knew how we felt about each other, we both knew what
we wanted but there were so many what if factors. She leaned over and
looked in my face, I kissed her, and I kissed her deeply. She allowed my
hands to roam her body, she allowed my tongue to massage hers, and
there we were on the shoreline of the beach just the two of us…
“Dana” I looked up and saw Alice
“Yes” I was playing the video games against Emmet and Jasper.
“I need your advice on something” I dropped the controller.
“Guess I’ll have to finish this ass whipping some other time”
 “Ok sure what's up” we both went upstairs and in to her room. We
walked into her closet; she had the biggest closet in the entire house and
for good reason. I sat on the small couch she had there.
“Your meeting Edward tonight”
“Aw yea, good thing you reminded me I almost forgot but I guess
so, why do you ask”
“Just wondering. How are you and Paul?”
“We couldn’t be better!” she looked at me and smiled. “Why do you
ask about Edward, does this have anything to do with what you two were
talking or not talking about yesterday” she didn’t say anything. “Spill it
Alice”
“Edwards never going to forgive me” she looked me in the eyes. “Ok
I had a vision” I just listen. “Of you and Edward kissing not only that but
Edward kissing you. I saw it leading to more….” I felt my mouth drop.
“What!”
“Yes and when I tried to talk to Edward about it, he just…..he didn’t
say anything just told me to mind my business” I couldn’t believe what I
was hearing, my head was going a mile a minute, I didn’t know who I
should be upset with or even if I should be upset. “I'm just telling you this
Dana, because he has a family and for some reason Edward isn’t thinking
right.”
“Thank you Alice” I stood up. “You don’t have to worry about that
happening; I'm going to deal with this”.
It took me some time to realize what I was going to do. I knew I
wasn’t going to meet him alone. I knew I had to think of something, and
that’s when it came to me.
I was playing the piano and Bella was reading a book when I heard
Dana, I didn’t stop playing I just looked around. I was losing my mind.
“Edward” now I knew I wasn’t going crazy. I stopped playing and
looked around.
”Where are you” I whispered.
“Over here by the window, go back to playing the piano before Bella
comes into the room, I just need you to listen” I looked at the window and
there she was a in a humming birds body. I sat back down and started
playing again. “Edward, how could you? Try to trap me like you did, you
know I have an undying attraction for you. I thought we were friends, I
thought we were better than friends but not more than friends. I mean
what you were going to do. Kiss me; maybe even make love and then
what! I'm in love with Paul and you're madly in love with Bella! That was
not fair at all Edward.” I wanted to respond but what could I say, I
continued to play. “I don’t ever want to speak to you again Edward, this is
the end of our friendship. The only reason I'm not leaving is because of
Paul, Neese and Esme! You are so selfish. I never thought of you as that
guy. I feel sorry for Bella and more importantly Neese. Goodbye Edward”
“Dana wait!” I saw the humming birds body explode and I knew she
was gone, not only had I lost my escape from my life but I had lost a
valuable friend and for what. Because of who? Alice!
I didn’t know where to go, I wish I could cry even if it was only one
tear, I had just lost my best friend and for what. Maybe it was for the
best, maybe it wasn’t but now I’ll never know. How could he be so selfish,
how could he be so stupid.
“I did it because, I wanted a deeper connection with you Dana,” I
looked up and saw him standing there just as beautiful as the day I had
first laid eyes on him.
“Do you not understand what it is you have done, if we kiss if we
touch, I will never speak to you again” he looked in my eyes deeply.
“I love you” he whispered ever so lightly.
“You do not!” he took a step closer to me, his scent so intoxicating.
“Yours is too. Emmet and Jasper agree”
“Maybe its part of my charm, trapping male vampires.” I moved
slowly.
“Like Paul”
“That was a low blow” I moved away from him. “I love you Edward
but as a brother, but this is the end of us” I took a step closer to him and
kissed him, I allowed myself to get lost in the kiss. “Paul is my heart, and
Bella has yours” I left him standing there.
I didn’t talk to Edward for months, nine months to be exact, we saw
each other. The first few weeks he begged for me to reconsider. I did miss
him terribly and I knew he knew it. Every time we were out, it popped in
my head like something I couldn't control. He never gave up, even
convinced Alice to talk to me I wouldn't budge I knew what was best. Paul
and Bella even started asking questions about what happen between us, I
never answered not because I was being mean, I didn't know how or what
to say.
"Dana, why are you being so evil to our brother?" Jasper and Emmet
asked
"I don't know what you guys are talking about". I looked through
their video game collection, it was huge.
"He asked us to talk to you" Emmet admitted.
"I feel the tension between you two....the sexual tension. I can't keep
my hands off Alice when you two are around" I stopped on my tracks. I
turned to Jasper.
 “Is that so” I walked over to him. “What do you feel right now” I
was two seconds away from slamming him into a wall. “Did he tell you
that he tried to trap me?!” I back away from him so I could make eye
contact with both of them. “About how Alice had a vision about him kissing
me and even taking it a step further and how he wouldn’t have stopped it
if I’d let it gone further, he's in my head constantly he knows; I can’t
control my emotions like that”
“He told us” Emmet said.
“Dana, can you blame him, you're beautiful” Jasper said as I
laughed.
“Every one of us are beautiful, he's selfish”
"I don't understand you guys, do any of you communicate. I don't
have anything to say to Edward, he means nothing to me and I'm nothing
to him. Tell him to stop sending you guys to talk to me" they both looked
at me. "I'm sorry but he's making you guys think it’s my fault when its
not".
"That's not what I'm trying to do Dana seriously, I just miss you
something terrible" I didn't say anything. "It’s almost been a year. I think
about that kiss all the time too. You're right, its wasn’t" I looked at him. "It
wasn't what I thought it would be." I turned completely to him.
“You want to go there" I balled my fist.
"There's nowhere to go" I felt my body going hot.
"Edward, I’d advice you'd stop talking" I was trying to calm myself.
"What are you going to do" he was toying with my emotions. I just
walked away.
"That's not going to work this time" I turned to Emmet and Jasper,
who tried to pretend like they weren't paying attention. "I’ll see you guys
later" and with that I walked away.
I was running out of option, it looked as if the stunt I pulled a few
minutes ago didn't do anything but push me further backwards. Once she
was out of ear shot. Jasper and Emmet started laughing they were
laughing at me.
"She’d rather have sex with a dog than you" Emmet said his words
were harsh but true.
"I've tried everything with her. Those are the most words she's said
to me in nine months".
"A word to the wise, you young men may want to find a more closed
place to have this conversation. If Alice or Rosalina would have heard you,
I'm sure they'd be at Bella’s already, if Esme finds out you're the reason
Dana wants to leave, she's going to be very upset with you. Do I need to
go on?" Edward knew he was getting careless but he couldn't help it.
 "She's going to Alaska?"
"Yea, her and Paul" I didn't have any animosity against Paul, how
could I. Just then Paul and Jacob came into the room smiling.
"What's up with you two?" Carlise asked smiling at them.
"No" I said to myself when I heard what they were thinking.
"Paul’s going to ask Dana to marry him"
"A wolf and a vampire married" Jasper said. "That should cause a lot
of chaos but congratulations!" He gave Paul a brotherly hug.
"I would say welcome to the family but I already consider a part of
us" Carlise smiled.
"Congratulations man!" Emmet said. Paul was smiling ear from ear. I
was too stunned to say anything. Jacob shot a look at me which snapped
me out of my trance.
"Congrats Paul" I shook his hand.
"You guys are the first people I've told. The real troubles going to come
when Sam finds out" I let out a breath of relief. There was no way he was
going to go for this.
There was something in the way Edward was acting that didn't sit right
with me. He acted as if he had a problem with this, if anything I thought
he'd be happy for us especially since he is Dana's best friend, maybe he
knew something I didn't know, maybe Dana wasn't happy on some level.
She did seem a bit more moody than usual.
"When are planning to tell your pack" he asked
"It'll be a while, after I save for a ring and stuff. I want to get her the
ring she deserves."
"Nonsense!" Esme approached with a smile on her face. "I’ll give you
the money" she looked at Carlise. "We'll give you the money, it'll be our
honor"
"Money for what?" Alice asked as Rosalina, Bella, and Neese entered
the room. Everyone looked at me.
"I'm going to propose to Dana" they all squealed even Rosalina.
"Oh my gosh! We have to do this right for her! We'll have a party and
you can propose in front of everyone" Alice was going a mile a minute.
"I wonder whose she's going to pick to be her maid of honor" Neese
squealed.
"You, of course but she's going to ask the three of us to be bridesmaid"
they all started laughing when Dana enter wearing a red strapless dress; it
was my favorite to see her in.
"Ok, what's going on. Who’s having a party!" she started dancing.
Everyone looked at her.
"What!?" She looked at her dress. "Did I get a spot on my dress?"
 "You look perfect" she smiled.
"I thought so" I smiled.
"So what is everybody celebrating?"
"Nothing, we’re throwing a party" Neese answered.
"Who’s having a party"
"Your family....my family…..our families" I answered and hoped she
caught the hint.
"You mean my vampire and your werewolf" I nodded.
"What's the occasion"
"You" she smiled as she walked over to me and kissed me.
“When is this so called party” she looked at everyone’s face.
“Its still in the works if you don’t mind” she placed her hands in the
air.
“Dana” Neese called her over; she walked over to the females. I
heard them all squealing and laughing, I felt someone burning a hole in
my face, I looked over and caught Edward’s eye.
“You mind talking to me for a second” his face softens and we
walked outside.
I didn’t know how I should feel anymore, Dana was truly happy and
I should be happy for her but I knew I was losing her and the more I lost
the more he gained, I couldn’t help but feel a little resentment towards
him. I sat in silence as I listened to him and his thought; I knew what had
to be done even though it would be hard. It was time for me to let go of
Dana.
“Did I do anything wrong, did she tell you something I don’t know”
“No, as a matter of fact from reading her thoughts she's the
happiest she been in a very long time” he smiled.
“What's going between you two?”
“I was being a jerk and may have lost my best friend”
“I'm sure it will blow over”
“I don’t think so but seeing her tonight how happy she was made
me realize a few things, do me a favor and tell her I'm sorry”
“I forgive you, it’s about time you came to your senses. I've missed
my best friend” I looked upstairs at the house and saw her standing in the
window smiling. I wanted to rush and up hug her. “Hurry up and finish”
she smiled.
“She loves you Paul more than you realize, trust that” we walked
back into the house. Everyone laughing and joking enjoying the company
of each other this was my family. I went upstairs before she could make it
downstairs, I wanted this hug to be just the two of us. My old room, I
laughed you never would have thought this was my world room not
looking like this.
“Wow, you’ve really turned things around in here”
“Don’t be mad because I brought life to this room” we both smiled
and she ran into my arms and hugged me, that hug gave me all I was
missing from her in these last nine months, it almost made it worth the
wait. “Thank you” she whispered in my ear.
“Why are you thanking me?”
“Alice told me what was going to happen between you and Paul, she
told which ways you could have taken it and she showed me which way
you did, the complete act of selflessness and I thank you completely” she
held me tighter she kissed my cheek.
“Thank you for forgiving me”
“If you weren’t married then maybe we could have been but I love
Bella Neese and you” she joked. “That’s the truth”
“And if you weren’t madly in love with a mutt then maybe I’d give
you a go”. She released me.
“I’ll meet you downstairs”
“What's wrong” I looked in her face and knew something wasn’t
right.
“Edward please go, I’ll be down in a second jeez” she pushed and
pushed and started thinking the ABC’s in her head.
“What are you hiding Dana”
“I’ll tell you later” I opened the door and she left.
I went downstairs; Alice was smiling at me, everyone else in their
own little world. I just sat down one the couch, Bella came and sat down
next to me.
“What's wrong Edward?”
“Dana’s hiding something, she just ran out the window thinking the
ABC’s so I wouldn’t know”
“She's probably fine, don’t be so overprotective” she smiled.
“It’s just not sitting right with me”
“Where's Dana” Alice smiled.
“She left, can you see where she went” she closed her eyes.
“I can’t see her, you know what that means” the party seemed to
die down.
“Can’t see who” Jacob asked.
“Dana” she answered all eyes on Paul.
“Where’d she go?” he finally spoke
“We were upstairs; she kicked me out and ran out the window”
 “I'm sure she's fine” Esme said but in her mind things were going
for the worst.
“I'm going to look for her” his hands were shaking by this point.
“Wait Paul!” Neese yelled as she stood in front of him, Bella jumped
up to her side in fear that Paul was about to lose it. “She made me
promise to keep you here. You, Jacob, Dad, Mom, Aunt Alice, Aunt
Rosaline, Uncle Emmet, Uncle Jasper, grandma and Granddad. She said
she needed until morning”
“Where's the letter” I said, she was holding back that bit of
information.
“No Dad!” she yelled but I was already going through her book bag
and there it was under the bottom. I pulled it out and read,
Edward,
I know you didn't listen to Neese, you're so stubborn! You and
Paul tell him I'm doing this for him and that I love you all and trust me.
Jasper and I have been working on my defense skill if I need to I will kill
these mutts. I'm sorry I didn’t tell any of you but it this needed a little
feisty. If I'm not back by morning, Neese knows know to find me.
Not to far from home,
Dana.
“How do you find her” Paul raged.
“Look Paul, calm down. I don’t know! And I don’t want to know until
morning!” Neese put her hands on her hips.
“She doesn’t Paul but knows it’s something she'll have to find but
won’t stay looking until morning”
“Well, I'm going to leave”
“No you're not!” she yelled at him. “If she wanted to be found, she
would have told you where she was going. Trust her. Jasper does she
need protecting. I’ve watched them practice” he looked at Jasper.
“She's really strong Paul, I feel bad for anyone who crosses her and
pisses her off”. He still wasn’t convinced and neither was I but what could
we do.
There was nothing but silence throughout the house, everyone
worried, we waited until the sun started to raise, still no Dana. I looked at
Paul, he looked sick; he angry had changed to worry within minutes of us
waiting. Neese was asleep on Jacob’s chest and he was zonning in and
out. Paul was extremely tired but I knew there was no way he was going
to sleep.
“Hey Edward” I looked around. “I'm upstairs, I need to talk to Paul,
tell him to come upstairs please” I went through her head and saw what
she was about to do and why. I wasn’t going to send him upstairs without
talking to her first but I needed a distraction.
“Jacob, you and Neese go upstairs. She's really tired. I’ll come with
you” we walked up the stairs. “Neese baby, wake up. Dana needs you”
she lifted her sleepy head.
“Where is she?” Jacob put her down.
“Should I leave?” he asked.
“No, she’ll need your opinion too. She's about to make the biggest
mistake ever” they both looked confused as we entered her room.
“What are you guys doing here, Edward, I wanted Paul”
“I know what you wanted and why you wanted him. That’s not fair
Dana” she looked at me, her eyes so full of hurt.
“What's not fair” Neese asked.
“She's going to leave Paul because Sam said that if she doesn’t,
there going to exile Paul”
“WHAT!” Jacob yelled.
“Would you please be quiet!” she hushed “This is not either of you
guys fight as much as I love Paul, I want him happy”.
“Dana, that’s not fair” Neese said as she came over to her, she
placed her hand on her back. “It’s his choice to make”.
“No its not!” her voice cracked. “If he makes the choice he’s going
to choose me and resent me for it. He needs his family!” she ran to the
door. “It is not any of your places to say anything to him! And if you do, I
swear you'll regret it” she ran down the stairs. We were close on her heels.
“Paul, I need to talk to you” her first words to him.
Her eyes weren’t right, I knew whatever she had been, its wasn’t
going to end good for me.
“Where have you been?” I was still upset.
“I want you to leave” I heard my heart drop. “We’re never going to
work and I'm tired of trying. Get out of here now!” I felt a lump develop in
my throat.
“Why are you doing this?”
“Because….because I want to!” she walked over to me. “I never
loved you, I hate you, you’ve got all of my clothes stinking” her eyes, she
seemed more hurt with the words she was saying than me. “Are you not
hearing me?! Leave!”
“No!” was I had to say.
“This is not a question, either you leave or I make you leave”
“Well that’s what you're going to have to do because I'm not
walking out of here!”
“O yes you are” she charged at me and we flew into wall.
 “You're going to have to kill me Dana because I'm not leaving” I felt
tears falling down my face. She raised her fist and it started to tremble.
“That’s enough!” Esme said in a stern voice.
“I love you Dana” I kissed her lips.
“Stop” she grabbed me by my neck. I saw Emmet, Jasper and
Carlise start to come over, Edward stop them.
“This has to happen”
“Don’t do this to me, please just leave” she whispered.
“Why are you doing this” that made her look away, she stood up.
“Dana, don’t!” she turned and just looked as Alice shook her head
no.
The scene in front of me, I didn’t know what to do or what to say. I
saw Dana project into his body and hers fall over.
“Are you ok Dana” Neese walked over and hugged her.
“He loves me so much”
“I don’t understand Dana” Bella said. “Why are you doing this?”
“She feels as if she has to, Sam…”
“Stop it Edward!” she yelled.
“Dana….” Esme walked over to her. “Honey what are you going to
do with his body”
“I'm taking his body to La Push” she sat down, he’s so tired so hurt
and then I saw it, she cried. I walked over to my friend and held her close.
She just released on my shoulder. “I don’t know how I'm going to let him
go”
“You know you don’t have to” I wiped the tears.
“Yes I do.” She stood. “Jacob tell him I love him” Jacob nodded. She
looked at me.
“What”
“You stink” she smiled, I smiled back at her.
“I'm leaving. I’ll see you guys soon” when she was gone.
“What’s going on Edward” Esme asked.
“I cant” I looked down. “I just got back into her good graces” they
looked at Neese next.
“Goddamn werewolves” Neese said.
“Watch your mouth” Bella said.
“But ma! It’s their fault all this happen. Sam told Dana that if she
didn't end her relationship with Paul, they would exile him” she looked at
Jacob. “Is there anything you can do about this? You saw how hurt they
were and how hurt their going to be.”
“She's going to run” Alice said
“I’ll get on it” Jacob said.
 “Why didn’t she just tell Paul” Rosalina asked.
“She knew what he would have chose and family is big to Dana, she
feels he needs them more than he needs her”
“That’s not her chose to make” Jasper said.
“In whose eyes” Alice said.
The next five months were torture to watch, I saw Dana emotions in
my head even though she put on the front that she was ok and I saw Paul
in Jacob’s head. I didn’t know what to do or even who to talk to. Jacob
told us every other day that Sam was not budging on his decision and that
he figured Paul would get better with time. I didn’t see that happening.
Dana would take over human and animals so she could cry, every since
that day she cried in Paul’s body there hasn’t been a night she hasn’t
cried. Paul’s never stopped by and that Dana wasn’t expecting him not to
show so that in turned was killing her slowly. I had to do something, I
didn’t know what but something had to be done. So I told Jacob to set up
a meeting between the two of us, I wouldn’t tell him why but I wanted to
know why he hadn’t stopped by at least once. He stood in front of me, he
looked horrible.
“Hey Paul, how have you been”
“How do I look” he snapped, he was angry with the world not to say
I didn’t blame him.
“Why haven’t you been by the house” his looked at me like I was
insane.
“Is that why you wanted to meet, to find out why I haven’t came
back to beg” he laughed a menacing laugh. “I haven’t come back because
I have nothing to come back for. Sam warned me this would happen” Sam
had been poisoning him.
“No reason at all huh, not even Dana” he looked at me and his eyes
soften.
“How is she” he thought but said. “Not even her”
“She cries every night”
“Bloodsuckers can’t cry”
“She found a way; she projects into animals and human so she can
cry”
“But she did this”
“She did it for you”
“For me!” he got angry as he went into transition. “She did this
because she has no emotions” and with that he ran off.
At least now I knew why he hadn’t been by, Sam was in his head. I
didn’t know how I would even handle this but something had to be done.
When I got back home, Dana was lying on the couch; I figured she was
projecting until I heard her moan.
“What's wrong Dana?”
“My stomachs hurting” she placed her hand over her stomach.
“How long have you been hurting Dana”
“A couple of months”
“Dana!”
“I know, I didn’t think it was anything but now I'm thinking I'm….”
she didn’t have to say anything because I knew. “Pregnant”.
“I'm going to get Carlise” she didn’t say anything, I ran off. He did
his examination and sure enough she was.
“How is this possible, I'm pregnant with a half werewolf, half
vampire baby? I want this thing out of me” Bella and Neese came into the
room.
“What's wrong with you Dana” Neese asked.
“She’s pregnant” Carlise answered.
“Oh my gosh!” Neese screamed.
“What” Jacob asked as he entered.
“Don’t worry I'm getting rid of it”
“Are you sure that’s what you want to do Dana” Bella asked.
“She can’t anyway she's too far along” Carlise said.
“But I'm not getting bigger” she stood and she wasn’t noticeable big
but she was bigger.
“Dana, we’re going to have to kill it once it’s born” she didn’t like
that idea; she didn’t like it at all. “Tell him he needs to be here” I looked at
her.
“Jacob, go get Paul” they all looked at Dana. She just turned on the
couch. “Don’t tell him what's wrong just yet. Just that she needs him”
Jacob left. Bella was talking to Dana, reassuring her that everything would
be fine.
“Wait! Go get Jacob, I’ll go myself. Just tell him to lower him away
from those anti vampire grounds.” She stood and she was dizzy. “I'm fine.
Go ahead you're the only one who can catch him”
“Why are you doing this, just have him meet you here”
“He won’t come, if I know Paul, he will not come” I took off.
I was sitting in Sam’s living room eating ribs when Jacob came
through the door out of breath.
“What's wrong” I sat up.
“Dana” I sat back down “She's in trouble Paul, life or death” I
couldn’t pretend like I didn’t care anymore.
“Where”
 “The lake, she wants to tell you herself” I swallowed hard.
“I don’t care; I can’t meet her face to face”
“There’s a life in the balance Paul, she needs you” as much as I
wanted to pretend like I didn’t care I was out the door. I made it to the
shoreline before Jacob and there she was she looked bad, sick. I walked
over to her.
“What's wrong” her eyes low, she didn’t look me in my face.
“I'm sorry Paul” I took a step back.
“I didn’t come down here for this; Jacob said there was a life in the
balance. You look horrible but I doubt your life is in the balance”
“It’s not my life” she sat down on the beach.
“Well I'm leaving”
“I still love you, do you love me still” I turned and saw her so
unprotected, her guard let completely down.
“No” I saw her heart break.
“Well this shouldn’t be a long conversation” she stood, I wanted to
help her up but couldn’t.
“What” I started to walk away.
“I'm pregnant.” that stopped me in my foot steps.
“What did you say?”
“I'm pregnant but you don’t have to worry about it. I'm going to get
rid of it”
“But you can’t and you know it” Edward came down with Jacob on
his side.
“She’s too far along to get rid of it” Jacob looked at me, neither me
or Dana said anything.
“How did this happen!” I didn’t know what else to do.
“Um let’s see I don’t remember you putting on a condom!” she
yelled.
“What are you going to do then?”
“What am I going to do?! What am I going to do?” I knew this face
and I knew what was coming.
“You heard me!”
“I'm going to kill him!”
“Good” her knees gave out and she fell to her knees. Jacob and
Edward both went into defense mode.
“You got no right to talk to her like that” Jacob said. “You really
don’t even have a reason to be upset”
“Jacob no” she said weakly. I was confused.
“He needs to know Dana” Edward picked her up.
“No Jacob please” she reached out for him.
 “Sam did this to you” what is that suppose to mean! Jacob went into
his pocket and handed me a letter. I opened it
“What's this?”
“This is the letter Sam gave her before he told her if she didn’t leave
you; he would sentence you to exile”
Dana,
Paul is losing everything because of this relationship,
I need to meet with you so we can
Make a compromise somewhere.
“Jacob why!” she put her arms around her stomach. “Take me home
Edward” I didn’t know what to say, what to do! What had I done!
“Edward” I called.
“I need to eat” she said.
“Dana” I called
“Don’t” she said with force. “Edward, take me to eat now!” he took
off with her still in his arms. I felt nothing, absolutely nothing, what was I
going to do. Jacob was still standing beside me.
“What am I going to do” Jacob didn’t say anything. “I’ve lost her!
I’ve lost her!” I dropped to my knees, knowing that she did this all for me
made me sick to my stomach. “My first born, I didn’t even think I would be
able to have kids and she's carrying my first born. What am I going to do”
I looked up at Jacob.
“I couldn’t tell you Paul but you better fix it.”
“You don’t know her, you don’t know Dana. She's never going to
forgive me”
“So what are you just going to give up?”
“No” I wouldn’t, I couldn’t. I was going to fight, no matter what, no
matter how long it took.
She had already drunk six cups of blood, and was still going but with
every cup she got better, she was smiling for everyone in front of her but I
knew she was hurting deeply. She wanted to be alone; she wanted to talk
to her baby…
“How’d it go with Paul” Alice asked as she reentered the room. Dana
laughed weakly.
“As good as can be expected. It’s just going to be me and little
Kendall” she had already told the story to Neese, Esme and Bella when
Alice had came back
“You planning on keeping him” Bella smiled.
“If I can, yes I do”
“And if you can’t….” Paul was standing at the door; she didn’t even
look his way. There was nothing but a silence. Alice, Esme, Neese and
Bella all looked at Paul like he was the enemy. He just stood in the
doorway, almost too afraid to make a move. The women around her like
her own personal security. “I'm not going anywhere Dana” he took a step
inside and came to her side.
“Do you want him to leave” Neese had the most hate for him next
was Esme.
“I don’t care what he does because he's dead to me and my child”
she put a emphasize on my.
“You don’t have to talk to me” he was going to regret those words.
“Just let me be here for you and our” she turned her eyes to him. “The
baby”. She turned away from him. I took sympathy for him as did Alice
and Bella.
“How far along is she?”
“7 and half months” Bella smiled. Carlise entered the room with
Emmet and Jasper, both of them upset with Paul for leaving Dana.
“When did you decide you want to be a daddy” Jasper sneered. Paul
didn’t say anything.
“My baby doesn’t have a daddy” Dana snapped
“Behave you two” Carlise sat his doctor bag next to where Dana was
sitting. “How are you feeling?”
“Better but I've got a craving for a steak” she smiled, I felt how her
smiled warmed his heart, and he took a step closer, Bella moved aside so
he could be closer.
“Steak?” Carlise asked.
“Yea for some odd reason, I haven’t had a craving in years”
“You want to try some human food” she looked at him confused.
“Sure”
“Alice got get her an apple” everyone’s interest was peaked
including mine; she came back with a donut.
“Oooo, I love you so much Alice if this works”
“It will” we all laughed at her. She took a bite of the food.
“Oh my gosh!” she rolled her eyes in the back of her head. “This is
the happiest I’ve been in months!” she admitted, everyone laughed.
“Now we can go out to eat!!!” Neese was as excited as her.
“It’s been so long since I've had food!” Paul smiled at her.
“What, I don’t understand is why you’re not bigger” both their faces
covered with worry. “Is there something wrong with my baby?
“The baby is going to be fine” he smiled reassuringly, “Now that
you both are, I think its time we talked about if this ends badly”
“Alice, can you bring me another donut” Alice smiled. “I'm going to
do whatever needs to be done in this situation well not me but you
understand” Dana closed her eyes, Paul took her hand and she snatched
away from his grasp. Carlise tried his best to keep a smile on his face but
he couldn’t relish the thought of killing an infant.
“Wait a minute now, there must be another way” Paul spoke.
“I've never known a baby to be born half vampire, half werewolf but
we shall see” Carlise said as he stood. “Everyone, I think its best if we give
Dana and Paul some privacy to talk things over”
“Hmmm no we shouldn’t I don’t have anything to say to him.”
“You don’t have to talk just listen” nobody budge, she didn’t even
think anything; it was like he hadn’t even said anything.
“Dana do you want me to leave” Neese asked.
“Nope” she smiled as Alice brought the box of donuts.
“Hey those are mine!” Dana stuck out her tongue.
“I’ll just talk in front of them. I don’t care” he said. Dana touched
her belly.
“A word to the wise” I butted in. “She's not going to say anything to
you Paul, not a single word. Just talk, that’s your best bet because she's
going to pretend like you’re not even around.” He nodded.
“Dana, I love you”
“Neese what restaurant should we hit first” she completely ignored
him. Neese didn’t say anything to her, she just looked at Paul.
“Why didn’t you tell me Dana? That was my choice to make, not
yours! I love you more than that damn pack! Don’t you understand that?”
she contunied to eat the donuts. “I love you, and I know you love me. You
don’t ever have to say anything to me again, but I'm not going anywhere.
I’ll be here every night, if you won’t let me in the room I’ll sleep in front of
the door. I'm going to protect you and whatever you decide to do with our
baby” he put an emphasize on our. “I'm going to support you”. She stood
and walked out, the donuts completely gone.
“I want to go to Ihop first, it was my favorite restaurant. I'm going
to change, get sexy we may meet some fine men along the way” and with
that said she walked away.
“She heard you Paul” Neese said. “But you know her, she's so
stubborn and you do kind of deserve it” she touched his shoulder. “Tell
Dana, I ran home” she zoomed away leaving the rest of us alone. Each
and every one of us felt sorry for him but didn’t know how to even
approach the subject.
“Can you talk to her for me” he looked at me. I didn’t want to be
caught in the middle, this wasn’t fair. I went up the stairs, I knocked on
the door.
“Who is it?”
 “Eddie”
“Come in”
“Hey” she put on the red dress she had on the last time she saw
Paul.
“Hi, he asked me to talk to you”
“I know”
“What are you going to do” she laughed.
“You’re in my head I’m sure, shouldn’t you already know the answer
to that”
“I got nothing”
“Then neither do I” she laughed.
“Can you forgive him?”
“No”
“Yes you can”
“I probably can but wont”
“Why”
“I don’t need a reason”
“You are so stubborn”
“Like you didn’t know” she laughed.
“You and Bella want to come to the restaurant with us?”
“Dana stop avoiding this”
“I'm not avoiding this; I'm not dealing with this. Paul chose this even
after he found out I was pregnant, he still wanted me to kill him but now
its I love you so much” she rolled her eyes. “I don’t want to talk about this
right now”.
“You still love him” she turned and stared at me in my eyes.
“Yes I do but I deal with pain quite well”.

“Do you ever stop eating?” Edward poked fun at her.

“Shut up!” she was over due and still eating nonstop, her stomach
even stretched she was really beautiful, still hadn’t said one single word to
me.
“Dana, I think were going to induce labor” Carlise said, she nodded.
“When?” She looked worried.
“Tomorrow” she didn’t say anything.
“My last day as a pregnant woman. I'm going to hit ever restaurant
I can” everyone laughed.
“We could cook a big meal” Esme offered. Dana smiled.
“Yea! Believe it or not, the waiters frown when you ask them for a
side of blood” she was so full of life, laughing and joking. She seemed so
happy!
 Even though Jacob, Neese, Dana and I were the only people who
actually ate food, there was food everywhere, mountain on top of
mountains of food.
“Wow, don’t you guys think you’ve over done it” Neese laughed.
Dana entered the dinning room and her mouth drop.
“Oh my gosh!” Esme put her head down. “I'm in heaven!” Esme
lifted her head, she smiled. “Good thing I don’t sleep” she went into the
dinning room and grabbed a plate. I looked around, there was everything
a man could want, my mouth started to water. There was a giant glass of
red juice
“Is this punch” Dana laughed.
“Sure, why don’t you give it a taste, it’s my special batch” everyone
snickered.
“Behave Dana” Carlise said. “It’s blood” he said it but I was still
caught up on the fact that she spoke to me made me smile. Dinner was
wonderful, conversation was easy, and Dana was eating nonstop. I
thought she was going to burst.
“Ummmm” the table went quite for some. “I think I just peed on
myself” nobody moved.
“You guys pee?” I asked.
“Emmet, pick her up and bring her into the living room”
“No! I got her” they looked at Dana.
“Something’s not right” she looked at Carlise.
“What do you feel?”
“Oh my gosh!” I picked her up, she grabbed my neck. “He’s clawing
me from the inside” she screamed.
“Put her down right here” Carlise order, she screamed again. I
placed her down; she grabbed me by my collar.
“Carlise, hurry up” she yelled but never let me go; Alice came back
with his doctor bag. “He’s going to open me, I feel it. Don’t kill him until I
see him if that means I have to die so be it”
“NO!!!!” I yelled along with Edward. “You are not going to die, you
cant you're a bloodsucker” she laughed in the mist of all her pain.
“Oh god!” she yelled again.
“Carlise, what's going on with her” Neese asked.
“She's going to be fine as soon as I get his head” her legs up as he
went inside her.
“Dana baby look at me” she turned her head to me, her hands still
around my neck.
“He’s going to kill me” those word hurt me, if he killed her, I would
kill him.
 “No! I won’t live knowing you’re not okay”
“I love you Paul” a tear fell from my eyes onto to her face.
“I know you do, don’t leave me Dana, please.”
“He’s going to be so strong” she smiled.
“The cord is around the baby’s neck. I can still save him. Dana don’t
you worry”
“Save him” she kissed me…

There he was, just as beautiful as I imagine, he lay sleeping in my

arms, so quiet. There he was Kendall, my Kendall. As hard as I tried I
couldn’t fight the connection between me and my son. His eyes were
Paul’s, his nose and lips were mine.
“Dana, do you mind if we run our test” Carlise said. I wanted to say
no but I knew what had to be done. He took my baby from. They clipped
his finger nails. They gave him a bottle of milk, he drank it, and my baby
drank his milk! They opened his mouth, no teeth no nothing but gums.
“Ok Dana, we've got to give him a shot” I wanted to stand but felt too
weak.
“I need blood but ok” Alice left and came back with a cup of blood. I
close my eyes as I let the blood take it course, and then I heard my baby
scream. I smile, and then I open my eyes and heard glass shatter. “What
happen” I hopped up.
“He’s strong but his skin isn’t like ours” Carlise said as he stood and
let the glass from the needle fall to the floor. “I'm going to need a sample
of his blood”
“Do it again” I walked over to him.
“Alice get me another needle”
“Kendall” his eyes followed my voice. “Don’t you break that needle”
he started to cry. “Mommie needs it so you will get better. Be a good boy
for Mommie ok” I grabbed his hand, he was burning hot.
“His skin is hot”
“So is mine” Paul said and I nodded. Carlise took another shot of his
blood, Kendall squeezed my hand.
“Hey you” he looked up. “Mommie loves you” I kissed his little
fingers. Esme took Kendall from Carlise.
“He looks just like your mother”
“I know” I smiled; Paul came over and grabbed my hand. “I'm going
to miss not being able to eat” he yanked my arm. I looked at him, I knew
he wanted to talk but I still didn’t know if I was ready to talk to him.
“Please”
 “Don’t worry Dana, he's in good hands” Edward said as I looked at
Kendall, he was smiling in Esme’s face.
“Ok c’mon”

This was my time to shine, my time to give her my all and hope it
would be enough for her to forgive me. I didn’t let go of her hand as we
walked outside, we didn’t say anything as we walked hand and hand until
we made it to the beach, our beach. She sat down and I sat next to her,
we never said anything, our hands never left each other.
“I love you” she looked and me with the look she use to give me
when I’d tell her that, like that was all that mattered. “I know I was wrong
for telling you to kill the baby”
“Our baby”
“Our baby” I smiled. “I want him to have a family. A mother and a
father. I understand what you did and I even understand why you did it
but Dana this is my life and I chose you first. I chose you over Sam and
his pack. I've join Jacobs pack anyway” she looked at me. “You’re my
family you and Kendall” I turned to her. “I’ve never loved you more than I
do right now” the smile on her face, made me warm. “Lets get married
Dana. I was going to ask you before everything went down but now I cant
hold it back anymore” her hand tremble as I lifted it and placed the ring
Alice, Neese, Esme and I agreed on, although it took days to find it, it was
well worth the search. I placed it on her finger. No words came out of her
mouth. “Baby, say something”
“What is there to say? Of course I’ll marry you” she jumped on me
and kissed me softly. “Now let’s get back to our son” we stood and walked
back to the house together.

Alice had everything in place for them; she had had a vision three
days ago about what was going to happen. I was still iffy about the whole
marriage thing, the entire time Paul was gone. Dana and I spent countless
of hours together. Bella didn’t mind because she knew how Dana had to
be feeling. It was nice to find things out about Dana through her mouth,
instead of poking around through her head. I knew once he came back,
our visits would become less and less. I made her promise that we would
always have each other. Our relationship was strange, we kissed on the
regular but that’s all those kisses were, they were just kisses. I was still
selfish with her, but she helped me realize the place I had with her and
the way she broke it down made me ok with it. There was a knock at the
door, which was strange because Dana didn’t knock anymore, everyone
looked at me but I didn’t get anything not a voice or anything. Carlise
walked over to the door, I wasn’t far behind him. I looked and saw Charles
but there was something different about him, something very different.
Carlise invited him in.
“Is Dana home” he asked almost like he knew the answer to the
question, he sat down on the couch. Bella came in, something wasn’t
right, she felt it.
“Should I put up my shield?” I nodded, Bella has mastered her
talent able to project it into shapes and around her attacker and she did
so.
“No, she isn’t. Can we help you with something” Esme came in with
the baby in her arms. She was followed by Alice, Jasper, Rosaline, Emmet,
Neese and Jacob.
“Don’t you guys look like the blended family” he almost laughed.
“I'm going to kill him” Rosalina thought.
“Stay calm” I said to her.
“You know that’s really a pretty baby” he got up, Emmet stood in his
way. “I'm not going to hurt him”
“It doesn’t matter, you take one more step and I'm going to kill you”
Neese said.
“What's going on” Dana and Paul entered the room.
“I've been waiting for you honey drop” Charles said as he charged at
her. The hit was loud, almost as soon as he hit her, we jump to her
defense.
“Esme get Kendall out of here” she screamed, I didn’t understand
why she was in pain.
“But Dana….”
“Esme!” Esme was fighting with two demons, she didn’t want to
leave Dana but the baby needed to be protected. “Now Esme!” Kendall
turned when he heard her voice. He started howling. I didn’t even notice
when Paul transition but he was in werewolf mode and ready to attack but
when he heard that he turned, all of us did and saw Kendall change, he
transition right there in front of our eyes. He didn’t change into a werewolf
completely though, he still looked half human, his teeth looked liked
vampires, his skin still human, not even covered in hair. He had claws on
all his hands and feet. It was amazing to see and now I could read his
thoughts, which were only of protecting Dana. “Bella don’t let your shield
up from around him” Dana said, Charles still on top of her.
“Don’t worry Dana, I’ve got him” Paul looked at me.
“Paul said let him go”
“No! You know what I'm going to kill you” then out of no where, she
kicked Charles off of her, he went flying into the ceiling.
 “Dana!” Carlise yelled. “Don’t kill him, project into him and see
what's going on. Edward are you getting anything from him” I shook my
head.
“I’ll kill him if I project into him, I know it” she walked over and
picked up her little monster, her thoughts not mine.
“Alice do you have anything” she also shook her head.
“Emmet, Rosaline, and Jasper take him as far as you can before he
wakes up” they all nodded as Emmet grabbed his body. “Do not kill him!”
they didn’t say anything as they all ran out the door. Paul transition back
as did Jacob.
“Jacob did you hear his thoughts” Jacob nodded in agreement. “I
heard him too” we all looked at him, Dana had him in her arms.
“You were trying to protect your Mommie” she played with him and
before our eyes, he changed back. “That’s a good boy! Not even a day
old! ” She looked at us. “What was he thinking?”
“Only of protecting you, he was actually telling us what to do, a plan
to get him off of you” Jacob answered sounding astonished, she smiled.

Once everyone was back we all sat in the living room, those of us
who could anyway. Paul and Kendall were upstairs sleeping; Neese and
Jacob were in the basement. The rest of us sat down waiting for the
return of Alice, Emmet and Rosaline.
“Dana, go talk to Esme, she feels horrible for just standing there.
She was caught between…”
“You don’t have to explain, I know” she got up and walked over and
hugged her. Just then our missing family members walked back into the
house.
“It took you guys long enough! You had me worried sick!” Esme
said.
“When we got out of the state, Alice had a vision but she said it was
clouded” everyone looked at her.
“He was bitten by a vampire”
“Great” Dana said.
“But that’s not everything” Rosaline said. “When we started to ask
him about it, he said he was bitten by both, said he's like your son” then
he tried to attack us. We all looked at Carlise.
“What does that mean” Dana finally spoke.
“I'm guessing he's half vampire, half werewolf”
“How is that possible” Jasper asked.
“I don’t know son but I do know who may be able to help us” we all
looked and waited for his answer.
 “We can’t go to them” I spoke when I heard what he was thinking.
“They already thought we were too strong when it was Bella joined. Now
we have all this power, it’ll be a war for sure” everyone had caught on
except Dana.
“What are you guys talking about?”
“The head vampire counsel, they tried to kill Neese when she was
born”
“What if they try to kill Kendall?”
“Then we’ll kill them” Rosaline said.
“I don’t want to put you guys through more than you’ve already
been through. Kendall, Paul and I can leave”
“And do what; be on the run for the rest of your life. I think not”
Esme said.
“It has to be done Dana” Alice said, she still hasn’t feeling it.
“We are stronger than them Dana” Carlise said, she put her head
down.
“Can we wait until he's at least a year old?”
“Yes we can” Carlise said.

By the time 6 months came around, Kendall was walking around but
just barely. He grew faster than normal human babies but not as fast as
Neese. Dana and Paul were adorable with him. They were adorable
together. Although we did stop hanging around so much, we still did make
time for each other. The kisses weren’t as frequent but I snuck one in
whenever I could. Charles hadn’t been back since that day. Everything was
actually going back to normal, our blended family was actually working we
were all sitting in the living room when Carlise and Esme came in.
“I think it’s time that we make the move to Alaska everyone” Carlise
spoke, there was a silence. “We’ve been holding it off for long enough, its
now time.” he held Esme’s hand.
“We do hope everyone comes” she looked at me and Bella then
Dana and Paul.
“Count us in” Emmet said as he grabbed Rosaline.
“Us too” Jasper said. I looked at Bella, I left the decision to her, I
knew she would have troubles leaving Charlie, and then at Jacob, I knew
he would follow Neese to end of the world but was he willing to leave his
pack for her.
“We’re in’ Bella smiled, she loved her new family and didn’t want to
give that up, “We can always visit Charlie, right?”
“I'm in, if you guys are going” Jacob said.
 “Of course honey” now everyone looked at Dana and Paul, she was
already packed in her mind but she had to know what Paul wanted to do,
he grabbed her hand.
“If this is what you want to do” she smiled. “Then we’re in too”
everyone smiled. So it was set everyone was going to Alaska.

ALASKA
Alaska wasn’t forks, my home town, but it was nice, especially at
night. We hadn’t been outside much, so what the people were like I
couldn’t really tell you. I did miss my family and friends terribly but I
truthfully wouldn’t change my decision to be with Dana and Kendall for the
world. I've never been happier. Although it had only been two weeks, it
felt more like years. Dana was extremely happy, she told me she had
never seen snow before, her favorite part of being here though was
dressing for the weather, even though we could feel a thing, she still
dressed us for the whether and today was no different.
“What are you thinking about” Alice came prancing into our room.
“Dana” I admitted, she smiled.
“Of course” she smiled. “Tell Dana, I want to borrow this hat for
Jasper” I nodded, she walked out of the room and I was alone again,
looking at myself in the mirror. Dana had me dressed in all white today;
she wanted us to coordinate everyday. I didn’t complain because I would
just wear a t-shirt and jeans if wasn’t for her but this made her happy.
“You look sexy” she walked up behind me and placed her arms
around my waist.
“White is not my color”
“I know but you look good, you're going to make the humans go
crazy…..maybe I should make you change”
“Oh no!” I knew if she started we’d be here another hour waiting for
her to chose the most perfect outfit for me. I walked out the room and
down the stairs.
“You guys ready for school” Bella said jokingly.
“Oh yea” I rolled my eyes.
“We’re going in as junior” Edward said.
“All of us?” we were all in the living room waiting for Neese, Carlise,
and Esme.
“Me, you, Dana, Bella, Jasper, Alice and Jacob” Edward answered.
“Rosaline and Emmet will go in as seniors and Neese will be a freshman” I
nodded.
 I was not looking forward to going to high school, I drop out the
first time because I thought it was a waste of my time, but if it had to be
done in order for us to be here for a couple of years so be it.
“Don’t you look bright?” Jacob teased.
“Shut up!” he was dressed in all black.
“I think, he's in style” Dana kissed my lips. She handed me a vest, I
made a face.
“What?” she put a hat on my head. “You have to play the human
part”
“You guys ready for school” Neese beamed coming downstairs
wearing a grey jogging suit.
“What's your problem” Dana asking, taking the question right out of
my head.
“She's never been to school before” Edward explained, I rolled my
eyes.
“Remember everyone, your last names are Cullen” Carlise said.
“I hope we have the same lunch” Neese said.
“I’ll do my best to make that possible” Carlise promised.
“Breath Neese” Bella said as everyone laughed at her as we walked
out the door.

“Baby, I really don’t want to go to school” Paul was still complaining,

I was starting to regret even volunteering my car to them.
“Paul, please! God! We've got to do this. Stop being a baby!” I
laughed under my breath; he was getting on her nerves. She looked at
Kendall, “Tell your daddy to stop being a baby, that’s your job!” Kendall
laughed.
We arrived to the school in three vehicles, my silver Volvo, Emmet’s
jeep and Alice yellow Porsche.
“I've got to get a car” she looked at our location and laughed.
“Doubt I’ll be able to do that anytime soon”
“You can have my dark blue Mercedes Dana” Alice said.
“How did you!” she squealed. “Really?”
“Of course!” she hugged her.
“Thank you so much!!!!”
“It’s fine Dana” Alice laughed. “The car is just sitting there”
“Still” we walked into the school. We didn’t say anything as people
walked in and out of the office with the ‘who are they look’ the main
office. Carlise and Esme were escorted back into the counselor’s office.
“We should get at least good eight years out of this place” I noted,
thinking about how long it would take Neese to graduate college.
 “So I'm 17” she handed Kendall to Paul and pulled out her new ID,
in walked two girls, no doubt about it, they were related, both of them
blondes, thin and tall, sharing the exact same pointy noses and blue eyes.
“Man, it is hot in this school” as soon as those word escaped her
lips, every last one of us started opening and pealing off our outer layers,
she looked at us strangely. “Oh! You must be the Cullen’s” she looked
around admiring the men. “I'm Catherine, student body present”
“I'm Rosella” the next girl said to her. “Her younger sister” her eyes
also admiring the men. “Oh my gosh! What are your names, no need to be
shy” she smiled.
“I'm Edward, this is Bella” they shook our hands.
“Hummy” one of them thought, I smiled.
“I'm Emmet, this is Rosaline”
“Oooo, I think I like” I coughed.
“I'm Neese and this is my Jacob” she beamed.
“Jeez”
“And I'm Dana and this is Paul and Kendall”
“This should be an interesting year” Catherine said aloud this time,
she shook Dana’s hand but her eyes never left Paul.
“What did you say sweetie” the girl didn’t respond or even take her
eyes off Paul. “She must want me to kill her”
“Ease up Dana” Neese walked over to her, and Dana let her go.
“Well, we’ll see you guys around” Rochelle said as they left.
“Don’t need to ask Edward what they were thinking” Bella said,
everyone laughed as Carlise and Esme came back into the room smiling.
“Well you guys have a wonderful day” Esme walked over and took
Kendall from Paul.
“I got you guys the same lunch” Carlise beamed, she loved spoiling
Neese as much as Esme.
“Oh! Thank you Grandpa!” she jumped up and hugged him.
“Grandpa?” the counselor came back into the main office with a
confused look on her face.
“That’s an inside joke we share” Carlise quickly lied.
“Oh!” she smiled. “I’ll give you guys a moment” she left, they all
looked at me.
“Yea, she listening” I whispered.
“I'm sorry” Neese whispered.
“I worked it out; you all have every class with at least one of your
brothers or sisters”
“How much did it cost you” Rosaline asked.
“Not as much as I was willing to pay” he smiled, they left.
 The first class me, Paul, Jacob, Emmet, and Jasper shared, it was
auto class all men except Rosella. She came directly over to our table.
“Hi guys” she said never taking her eyes off Jasper.
“What are you doing in this class” Jacob asked as he sat back in his
seat.
“What better way to meet men” I smiled.
“I needed an elective, they stuck me in here” she lied. None of us
said a word
“You guys are really cute” she looked at all our faces. “I mean really
cute, like models” we all smiled. We all wore a wedding band except Paul
and Jacob, she didn’t look down at our fingers, and I doubt she would
have even cared.
“What are your names again” we all recited our names to her.
“It’s going to take a minute before I remember but I promise I will
know them by heart” she flirted.
“Rosella” the teacher called. “I believe your seat is up here” she
rolled her eyes.
“Nice talking to your guys” she stood, she flipped her hair. “Bye
Jasper”
“Looks like trouble in the near future for Jasper” I said, they all
laughed.
“I know right” Jacob flipped his hair the way she did, we all laughed
louder.
“You too Paul” Jasper said trying to get the attention off of him.
“That girl better watch out before Dana eats her alive”
“Literally” Emmet said. The teacher walked out of the class, Rosella
got back up and started back over towards us.
“She’s persistent” I said.
“Watch this Eddie” I looked at her, it was Dana. It took everything
for me not to start laughing. She walked over to Jasper sat on his lap, the
whole class was quite, she whispered something in his ear and he started
laughing. Then she walked over to Paul sat on his lap and kissed his lips.
He pushed her off.
“Dang Paul, that hurt!” she said.
“Dana?” she gave him a look.
“No my name is Rosella” she smiled; she sat back in the same seat.
“Neese and Alice were bugging me to come and see what you guys
were doing” she swayed back and forth in her seat.
“Damn Jasper, she really wants you” she rolled her eyes in the back
of her head. “I don’t know how she controls it, I damn near want to throw
you on the table and destroy you” she smiled. “Anyway, I'm here with a
message, that I will be watching you guys….. I got to get out of this body”
“Dana are you going to tell Alice” Jasper asked.
“Yes, you know I can’t lie to her. I’ll make it sound real good for you
but you better watch it”
“What am I going to do with her except, eat her” Dana laughed.
“Now that way” he grunted.
“Stop crying Jasper”
“Dana, teacher’s coming” she shrugged her shoulders.
“You’re going to get her in trouble” she smiled.
“I know”
“C’mon Dana, don’t do that.” Paul said
“Why not” her smile was so evil. “She shouldn’t be feeling this way
about a married man and let me see that her sister even looks at you the
wrong way, I'm going to have her expelled” the teacher came back into
the room. “Dang too bad” she whisper, she walked back to her seat and
sat down, Dana left.
“What happen?” Emmet was still laughing.
“She was called back”
“That was funny” Jacob laughed.
“What did she say to you” Paul asked Jasper.
“That she was watching me and would hate to have to beat my ass”
they all laughed.
“She is crazy” Emmet voice boomed.
“Edward you got to tell us when she's in the room” Paul looked at
me causing all of them to look, now I was stuck between a rock and a
hard place choosing between my brothers and my best friend. I just
nodded in agreement and they all smiled.
The rest of my classes weren’t as eventful as the first one, my next
class, trigonometry; I had with Bella and Alice. The next one, was home
economy, I had that with Paul, Bella, Rosaline and Jacob. Then there was
lunch.
Lunch was like any other lunchroom considering this school held
1,500 tops; we sat at the table in the middle but off closest to the window.
“Ummmm….who are they” we all turned to see a blonde hair girl
with green eyes standing there with her lunch tray.
“Hi, I'm Reneesme Cullen but everyone calls me Neese and this my
family, we’re new here….”
“Oh! That explains it” she laughed a menacing laugh, she snapped
her finger, and the girl to her left took her tray.
 “Is she for real” Dana asked rolling her eyes and turning back
around.
“I know right” Rosaline agreed as Emmet moved closer to her, the
sound of his seat made her move and attention to him.
“Oooo” she purred looking at Emmet. “Fresh meat” she said in a low
voice, her eyes went around the table, and stopped again on Emmet.
“He's married” Rosaline said.
“I won’t tell if you won’t” her eyes still on Emmet, Rosaline stood.
“That’s enough” I stood, I knew it was time to interfere before
things got too far. Emmet stood; he wrapped his arms around her waist
and kissed her lips softly.
“Oh yea! Back to the subject at hand. You guys are in our seats” I
heard Dana growl next to me, I grabbed her hand.
“She’s starting to get on my nerves”
“Since this is your first day, I will let it pass but after this, this will
not be tolerated” she looked at all of us.
“She wants us to move now” I said, Bella stood
“Sit down Bella” Alice said, she wasn’t about to move, as a matter of
fact none of them were.
“She was serious” Dana finally spoke, she laughed, soon the entire
table joined.
“I’d like to see her try and move us” Alice said.
“Neese how was your first day of school” Bella asked, trying to calm
the situation.
“Wonderful!” she started taking them through her classes one by
“This isn’t over by a long shot” she walked away with her click. Paul
played in Dana’s hair until the bell rang.
“What's your next class” Paul asked.
“Gym” Dana, Bella, Emmet, and Jasper all said together.
“English III” I answered.
“Me too” he said.
“Wish we could trade” Dana poked out her bottom lip, he kissed her.
“I hate gym”
“Yea, me too” Bella agreed.

The next class, we were studying Romeo and Juliet, Paul was dozing
in and out when ‘they’ walked in, a group of six of them this time.
“So you’re name is Edward” a red hair spoke to me.
“Yea” I elbowed Paul, he woke up, and Catherine was in the mix
with these females.
“I'm Tanya”
 “Hi Paul” Catherine blushed, he barely waved her off.
“So we’re having this party, invite only and we’re inviting you guys”
the blonde with green eyes spoke, who I later found out was Angel.
“I’ll see if my girl wants to come” we had to call them girlfriends
because we were technically too young to get married.
“Invite only!” she thought. I looked at the invite June 17, 2022.
’”This isn’t until the end of the school year”
“I know” she smiled. “Only VIPs get invite this early. Now you guys
have time to talk your girlfriends into coming”
“It’ll be fun” she said as she rolled her eyes.
“Paul you get an invite too” Catherine handed the card to him.
“Yea, I doubt my girl is going to want to come but we shall see” she
smiled as they walked away.
“Why do I feel like there is about to be a storm” Paul said as he laid
his head back down on the desk.
My finally class was a double period of Economy, I thought I knew
no one in this class until Dana walked in fifteen minutes late.
“Hey Edward” she smiled as she took the seat next to me.
“Why are you smiling?”
“Oh nothing” she was hiding something.
“Come on! Tell me!”
“A couple of guys asked us out on a group outing, Jacob heard them
somehow and flipped” I laughed as she replayed the memory in her mind.
I was happy to be able to spend my last two periods with Dana she was
wonderful, really. It felt like every since we moved to Alaska, we hadn’t
had anytime for each other but now here we were. Every Monday through
Friday for a hundred and two minutes. I started looking forward to our
time together. Days passed, days turned into weeks, weeks into months.
Three months into our time, Dana and I were sitting in the classroom and
she came into the classroom.
“What's its like to have sex with a werewolf” I had been wondering
this for a while, she started laughing.
“What?” the teacher hushed her.
“What's it like”
“What's it like to have sex with a vampire”
“You never” she shook her head
“Never”
“You first”
“It’s amazing, rough. It’s hard not to bite him at times but I love it”
she looked at me.
 “It’s about the same but I can bite her, be as rough as I want or as
gentle as I want and not have to worry about destroying her”
“Sounds like fun” she shrugged her shoulders and looked down at
the piece of paper, a student had passed around.
“Does the smell get to you?”
“Use to but not really anymore” I was quite, taking in what she had
just said, watching the memory I had made her think about.
“You ever think about having sex with me”
“All the time” I whispered.
“Me too but we can’t act on it”
“We can’t” she hit me in the head.
“No we can not” she shook her head.
“I love you Dana”
“I love you too but I've been in your body, I know how you feel
about Bella and I doubt anything can destroy that, and I don’t want to
hurt Bella. I love her” she was sincere.
“I know, just a nice thought”
“Isn’t it. You're still the most beautiful vampire I’ve ever seen” I
smiled.
“Thank you”
“Besides, I couldn’t be with you in that way” she laughed. “If you
were bad I couldn’t lie about it” that made me laugh.
“Please” she grabbed my hand.
“Bella’s a lucky girl” I squeezed her hand.
“So is, Paul” she smiled.
“He is, isn’t he” she smiled; we talked as we exit the classroom.

School, was pretty cool in my eyes. I had never been to school with
brother and sister; actually I've never had brothers and sister. It felt pretty
good. When I walked into my third period class, there Neese was
computer science, I sat in my normal seat next to Neese, we were the only
two back there. I looked at the computer screen and turned it on. The
teacher went into a lecture.
“Dana, I think I want to go out on a date” Neese said to me, I didn’t
even listen to her because she had to be losing her mind. “Did you
hear me Dana” still I said nothing. “Dana!” she yelled causing the
entire class to look our way.
“Neese, shhh” I smiled apologetically to the classroom. “Yes I heard
you but I was hoping I was hearing wrong” I looked around. “Did you
forget that you are a vampire” I whispered.
 “No, I didn’t” she whined. “But because I'm a vampire, I can’t go out
on a date with a human” I rolled my eyes at her.
“That’s the exact reason why, Neese”
“Dana, please” she begged.
“Why are you saying please to me? I'm not your mother or father” I
knew what was coming.
“But you and my dad are really close, I know they will trust me to
go if you come with me” I turned to her.
“You want me to come and watch you on a date, are you serious!”
“No Dana, I want you to come with me on a double date”
“You want Paul to come?”
“Not exactly….”
“Oh no!” I said
“Please Dana; you know if Paul comes he's just going to tell Jacob
everything!”
“No Neese, you are not getting me to go out with some humans! No
way!” I was getting loud. “You’re too young to be dating anyway”
“Please! I've got a year or two tops left of me being a teenager
before I become a grown woman”
“What exactly am I suppose to do! Watch you guys eat! No thank
you!”
“Oh Dana please” I rubbed my temples
“Why are you asking me?”
“Because you're the only one who sees me as a person instead of a
little girl and you're my best friend”
“Neese what about Jacob?” I was trying to find one reason not to do
this, one reason she wouldn’t go through with this.
“What about him, he's who I'm going to marry but I want to go out
at least once” I shook my head.
“Why are you doing this to me Neese” she smiled.
“Thank you Dana” she hugged my neck.
“At least let Jacob take you on your official first date” she turned her
head side ways. “You'll thank me later in life when you understand”
“Ok” she agreed.
“Now I got to deal with your father and mother, great!” I wasn’t
looking forward to this.
“Let me show you the guys” she grabbed my arm.
“They’re in here?”
“No” she laughed. “They’re seniors!!!”
“Um…no! Now Neese a freshmen for you. Are you trying to get me
killed!” she started to pout. “I don’t care about that baby face, I'm not
moving on that. A freshman! That’s finally!” Neese didn’t know if she
wanted to be a grown up or a baby sometimes.
“Fine” she folded her arms and sat back in her seat. Neese was my
best friend no doubt about it but she really knew how to be a spoiled brat
sometimes. “Now I've got to find us some new dates. Maybe an older
brother, younger brother” I rolled my eyes.
“Your daddy is going to flip” I was not looking forward to the next
class. “How about we not go to lunch” she smiled.
“Why not”
“Because your daddy is going to be all in our heads, I’ll need to face
him and Bella together in a silent place” she hugged my neck again.
Neese and I went straight home after we told Bella, Neese wasn’t
feeling to well. Bella wanted to come but Neese talked her out of coming,
complaining that they treat her like a baby, even though in my eyes she
was.
We made it to the house, Neese went into the kitchen to get
something to eat, I just sat by the door because I knew Edward and Bella
would be there at any moment and as if this was a movie, in they walked
hand in hand. I started singing a song in my head.
“Hey love birds!” I smiled.
“Where's Neese”
“She’s in the basement, I need to talk to you guys” they looked at
me worried. “Bella could you shield me, Edward needs not to read my
mind” she nodded but still was confused.
“Ok, you’re shielded” I exhaled loudly.
“Ok I'm here because Neese wanted me to ask you guys
something…she wants to go on a date….” Both of their faces went white.
“She’s only four!” Bella yelled. Edward didn’t say anything
“Before you guys react, let me finish, I know what you're thinking
because I was thinking the exact say thing. She's too young, was my first
thought but how long does she really have before she's too old to go out
as a teenager.” Neither one of them said anything. “I would be going
along as a chaperone, but” I rolled my eyes. “I would have to go like it’s a
double date. No I don’t want to do this but she deserves the most normal
childhood she can have right?”
“What about Jacob?” Bella asked.
“I did make her promise me that her first official date would be with
him but she said she's going to marry Jacob but want the right to a date
outside of this house” both of them looked trapped like they didn’t k now
what to do.
“She's so young” Bella looked like she was pleading with me.
 “We don’t need an answer now but she will want to know”
“Why didn’t she come to us herself?” Edward finally spoke.
“She knew you guys wouldn’t listen to her reason”
“We’re going to need some time to discuss this” I nodded.
“She does have one request” they both looked at me with pleading
eyes. “She doesn’t want to hurt Jacob so could you keep it between the
four of us” they both nodded as I left.
The next person I had to deal with was Paul and I wasn’t looking
forward to that either, so I left him a note to meet me in the Ice House
the men built when we first got here, it looked like an igloo because it was
made of blocks of ice but it was huge! Paul, Jasper, Edward, Emmet and
Jacob all built it for the exact reason, walking into it looked like a small
home, with one bedroom and small kitchen and living room which had a
giant black piano in it. I was going to have to seduce him first of course,
so I found the sexiest piece of lingerie I owned that he hadn’t seen me in
already, I left him a note and told him to meet me here. I waited for him
on the bed, I smelled him coming, and I got up looked in the mirror one
last time and laid back in the bed.

I walked into the house, there were candles lit everywhere, the
smell of apples filled the place. I walked into the bedroom and there she
was in my favorite color, black, looking good enough to eat.
“What all this about” she didn’t say anything just smiled. I knew she
wanted something but I was going to wait and see how this played out.
She kissed my neck and that’s the last thing I remember until the morning
hit.
I woke up and there she was smiling at me through the mirror.
“How long have I been sleep?”
“Ten hours” she laughed.
“What was last night about?”
“Nothing can’t a girl show her fiancée how much she loves him”
“Yea a girl can, but I know you. What's up Dana” she turned.
“Ok… but you have to promise to keep an open mind and to not tell
anyone” I nodded. "Neese wants to go on her first date” she stopped
talking.
“Ok, Jacob should be really happy.” I was still confused.
“That’s the thing, she doesn’t want to go with Jacob, she want to go
with a human” she turned to me. I was shocked.
“Poor Jacob”
“He doesn’t know and you can’t tell him!” I shrugged my shoulders.
 “Okay, but I still don’t understand what that has to do with you” she
bit her bottom lip.
“Well….you see…”
“Dana, spit it out already!”
“Okay, well she wants me to come on as a chaperone like on a
double date”
“Ok so she wants us to go with them?”
“I didn’t say us…” she stood. “She wants me to go with a human”
she didn’t look too happy but I hasn’t going to stand for this.
“No!” I shook my head.
“Paul, if I don’t go Bella and Edward won’t let her go”
“She doesn’t need to go anyway! Jacob loves that girl to death! Now
she's trying to drag you into this bull!’
“Paul it’s not like I'm going to enjoy this”
“How do I know that?”
“All I’m going to want to do is eat one of them, that’s all you have to
worry about” she was pleading with me.
“I need some time to think about it Dana” I got up; she walked over
and kissed my cheek.
“Thank you Paul, because you know if the shoe was on the other
foot, I wouldn’t even consider it” I laughed.
“Yea, I know”

Dana and Paul made it back to the house, the memory from the
night before still fresh in his mind, and the one from that morning in hers,
I really didn’t like that I could see things like that. Paul went upstairs and
she came into the living room with me.
“That was not fair” she looked at me confused.
“What’s not fair?”
“What you did to Paul” she smiled.
“So did it work?”
“I don’t know, he's thinking about following you” I laughed.
“Actually that isn’t a bad idea”
“No! Give your daughter this, you don’t want to lose her trust” I
knew she was right but the father in me didn’t want to believe that. “If it’ll
make you happy, I’ll text you everything that’s going on” that didn’t sound
as good as my plan but it would give me a little ease.
“You would do that” Bella walked into the room, Dana smiled at her.
“Of course I would, I don’t know what I would do if I Kendall comes
up to me in four years talking about he wants to go on a date.” As a
parent she could only understand what we were going through but as
Neese’s best friend, she had to have sympathy with her situation.
“How are we going to do this around Jacob?” Bella asked she was
worried about her friend.
“We’ll just tell him me and Neese are having a girls day out” both of
us nodded. “Where's Neese anyway”
“Out with Jacob”
“Jeez! She doesn’t waste anytime! I hope Jacob shows her the time
of her life.”

Neese walked into my room late that night, Paul was asleep and I
was holding Kendall.
“Hey Dana’ she whispered, I smiled, and laid Kendall in his crib.
“Hey” I walked out the door, together we went downstairs. “How
was your first date” she rolled her eyes.
“It was horrible! Everything that could have gone wrong did! I mean
look at my outfit” I did notice the red spilled on the bottom of it.
“Tell me everything!” She placed her hand to my face.

“I'm sorry sir but we were over book, we gave your tables away”
“What!” Jacob yelled he grabbed the man's collar. Neese put her
hand through his arm and kissed his cheek. It seemed as if his angry
eased with that kiss.
“Its okay Jay, we can wait or go to the show before we eat” he was
still upset, you could see it in his face but he let go of the man and
together they went to sit down.
“We will comp your dinner sir. We are truly sorry” he didn’t seem
pleased.
“At least we get a free dinner” Neese smiled.
“I was trying to make this night perfect for you and it’s already off
to a bad start she smiled.
“Jay, when have we ever been together and not had a good time.
Don’t make me bite you” he smiled.
“Ok ok” he reached down for her hand, she took his willingly.
Once they did finally make it to the table, it was going good, candle
light dinner, soft elegant music playing in the background.
“Neese you are really beautiful tonight…not that you aren’t beautiful
ever night…you…’ he stuttered.
“Jay, why are you so nervous, it’s me!” Neese laughed. “We’ve
spent everyday together for all of my life, it’s me”
 “But tonight, I see you in a different light, tonight…you’re a young
woman instead of my little Neese” she blushed.
“Oh Jacob!” Their dinners arrived; Neese and Jacob both had a
cranberry juice to go along with their meals. They had small talk about
everything that was going in school and how much they missed Forks.
“Can I kiss you Neese” that question took her by surprise; he never
made any advances at her before. She felt as if she lost her voice, so she
just nodded, he rose up from the table and walked over to her; he kneeled
down to her eye level and kissed her. It Neese’s first kiss and it was so
beautiful, so innocent, so peaceful, it was everything and more she dream
of her first kiss begin like. He sat next to her and by the time it was time
for them to go, the waiter seemed to be disgusted but neither one of them
care, he started to clear the table and made a mistake and some how juice
flew all over the both of them, dishes fell, everyone in the restaurant
stared at them.
“Neese are you okay, are you hurt”
“No, I'm fine, what about you” she stood up and there it was all
over her white pants, their two drinks she saw Jacob get angry again.
“Let’s just go Jacob’ she took his hand and together they walked
out, she just about had to drag him but she knew if she didn’t get him out
now, he would leave and that in turn would cause all type of hell. There
just drove around for a few minutes in complete silence, while Jacob
cooled down. He stopped at a lake, which was frozen and looked as if it
had been frozen for a long time.
“Do you still want to go to the movies” he asked her.
“No” he started the car.
“I’ll just take you home, I am really sorry about this” she smiled as
she turned off the car.
“I didn’t say I wanted to go home either” she leaned over and kissed
him. Neese took her hand from my face.
“You don’t need to see the rest of that’ she smiled, I couldn’t help
but laugh because it reminded me of my very first date, a few seconds
later, she joined in.
“Promise me if you guys decide to have sex”
“Sex! Dana please” I smiled.
“Neese even if you don’t need to hear this now, listen. Use a
condom” she made a face. “Promise me Neese”
“I promise” she shook her head; I forgot just how young she was
sometimes.
“Okay back to your most horrible date” she smiled
“You want to know something” she looked at me.
 “What”
“I wouldn’t have changed a thing about it. That was the best day of
my life” she pranced up the stairs and I just stayed downstairs smiling at
her.
“Teenagers” I thought. I just sat for a moment when I heard Kendal
crying, I ran upstairs and got him and ran back downstairs.
“What are you crying about” I stood him on the floor, he laughed. I
laughed at his. He took a step, that gave me an idea I left him standing
where he was and before I knew it, he was walking; he took two steps
before he fell onto my arms. “YEA! Mommy’s baby!” I squealed.
“That was great to see!” I turned to see Jacob standing there, Jacob
looked distressed.
“Hey Jacob” I smiled as I sat down and he followed suit but he
didn’t say anything. “Ok, what's wrong” I looked at him. “Jacob…what is
it?”
“She must really hate me for ruining her first date” he looked so
pitiful, I almost wanted to laugh.
“She doesn’t hate you Jacob” I smiled sweetly.
“Yes she does”
“Jacob, my first date went worst than that and you know what like
Neese said, I wouldn’t change it for the world” he smiled. “She love every
moment of it even when you were messing up”
“Thanks Dana” he yawned.
“Go to bed Jacob, Neese loves you”
“She does!” He smiled, was he really this blind.
“Of course she does! Don’t be stupid” he walked away slowly but he
walked up the stairs.
Days after her date with Jacob, she was already on the hunt for her
humans, it made me sick to think about going on a date with something I
could eat and probably really enjoy. I walked into my first class; I shared
with Bella, and Alice. It was an ACT prep class. I walked in they were both
laughing and joking.
“You don’t look to happy” Alice laughed, Bella joined in.
“I don’t like you guys”
“What's the matter, you don’t want to go out with the human” Alice
joked.
“Okay when I eat him, we are going to see whose laughing” all of us
laughed together. “I really wish there was a way around this”
“You guys are going to go, Neese going to pick you guys some really
cute humans and you guys are going to have the most fun Neese’s every
had” I put my head down.
 “Poor Jacob” both Bella and I said together.
“She's going to hate it” at first none of us said anything and then all
of a sudden we all started laughing.
“That’s what she gets” I laughed. We all talked and joked the rest of
the class.
“Alice” she looked at me.
“Is Jacob going to find out” Bella looked at her to, I know she
wanted to know the answer.
“He already does” I shook my head.
“Poor Jacob” Bella said. “I'm going to talk to him” we made our way
to the classroom.
“Maybe that isn’t the wisest idea, let Neese do it”
“The question is, will she” I asked.
“She will, in her own time”
“I have to say something to him” Bella said, neither I nor Alice said
anything. I would say something to Edward too.
“Let me know how it goes” she nodded.

It was the very next week when Neese told me she had found our
candidates. I decided on a white long sleeve shirt, with a vest that had fur
on the outside with no sleeves. A pair of black jeans and some long snow
boots that matched my vest. I had on some diamond embedded hoops.
Neese had on a tight red shirt and some matching blue jeans. Her hair was
pinned up she really looked beautiful, she wore her locket and some
diamond studs. They picked us up on time; Paul was at the door with
Kendall in his arms. Jacob was off running; Edward, Carlise, Emmet and
Paul were also there. The looks on their faces were priceless. The two
guy’s names were Carlos and Will. Carlos was my so call date and Will was
hers. Carlos was a senior, he had to be 6 feet even, and he was light
skinned with a ponytail down his back. He was good looking, no denying
that; he wore his basketball jacket and a pair of old jeans. Then there Will
he was a freshman, he was Mike’s little brother, he too wore a ponytail
and a basketball jacket also, the only difference between the two of them
was that Will was shorter.
“Hi, I'm Carlise” he extended his hand to them.
“I'm Carlos and this is my little brother Will” he shook his hand.
“How do you do, sir” the smell of Will was stimulating, I had just
hunted a few hours ago for this exact reason, and I also had a small
plastic container of blood in my purse just in case. I knew I was being over
the top but I didn’t want to cause any problems.
 “These are Dana and Neese adopted big brothers” he went down
the line. “Edward, Emmet, Paul and Jaspers” none of them said anything.
“Excuse them, they’re very protective of the girls” Esme walked
down the stairs with Bella, Rosaline, and Alice. I heard Edward snarled.
The boys must have been thinking some naughty thoughts, not that I
could blame them; the four of them coming down the stairs looked like
models.
“We understand we have two younger sisters. We don’t let boys
within a mile of them” Carlos said.
“But you two come within miles of our sisters” Jasper said.
“You know what, I think its time we go” I said, if I didn’t interfere
now, there's no telling where this would lead.
“What time should we have them back?”
“Ten o’clock” Edward answered quickly, they didn’t listen, they just
looked at Carlise.
“I agreed ten o’clock seems fair”
“Even for Dana” Carlos looked me up and down, I looked at Paul as
he handed Kendall to Esme.
“Be cool Paul” I put my hands up.
“We’ll meet you guys outside” they both nodded as they exited the
house.
“I don’t want you to go” Paul said.
“I have to agree” Edward spoke
“Paul don’t do this to me” Neese pleaded. I kissed his lips.
“You really don’t have anything to be worried about, unless you're
worried about me eating Will” I laughed, and he smiled. I kissed him one
more time. “I’ll be back before you miss me” we walked out the door and I
heard him say.
“But I miss you already”
“You owe me so big!” she took my arm and we got into their car,
Neese got into the back seat and I sat in the front seat, as we took off, I
looked out the corner of my eyes and saw a big black shadow running
towards us at stop speed, it was Jacob.
“EDWARD GET JACOB HE'S COMING AT US FAST!!!” I knew he
heard me because not more than a second later, we heard a low thud
then a howling sound, I turned the music up to drown out his wailing.
“Sounds like a wolf in pain” Carlos said. I looked back at Neese; she
didn’t even make eye contact with me, just stared blankly out the window.
“Are you okay” Will asked Neese.
“She loves wolves, she hates to hear one on pain” Will put his arm
around her.
 “I'm sure its ok” he said reassuringly. We ended up at an arcade; it
was jammed pack with kids. Good thing I liked to play video games. I
would have to bring Emmet and Jasper here to whip their asses in laser
tag.
“They have laser tag!” I said aloud.
“Yea, you're a fan?” Carlos smiled.
“Are you kidding me? I love laser tag, I'm going to have to bring my
brothers up here and whip some ass”
“Oooo, big talk well around here. I'm the king, you see.” He pointed
upwards and sure enough his name was up there posted.
“Be prepared to lose your title” he smiled.
“Such big talk for such a cute girl. I hope you don’t break a nail” I
laughed.
“You know I'm really going to hate to take this title from you, oh
wait! No I'm not!!!” he laughed, we headed to the line for laser tag when
Catherine approached.
“What are you doing here” she looked at Carlos, he didn’t answer
didn’t even look up.
“We’re here looking after our younger siblings”
“Did I ask you?”
“What did you say to me?”
“I said did I ask you” she took a step closer to me.
“Listen here Catty, I'm trying to be nice to you but if you don’t back
up out my face, I'm going to break that nose of yours” I took a step closer
to her.
“I'm not scared of you Ms. Cullen”
“Well you should be” I folded my arms across my chest.
“You know Paul never told me if he was going to come to my party,
guess it never comes up in our talks in English”
“Catty, if you’re smart you'll walk away, I really don’t want to hurt
you well yes I do. You should walk away” she rolled her eyes.
“Carlos lets go” he looked at me.
“After this game Catty” I laughed. “I mean Catherine” she huffed
and stormed away.
“You're going to be in trouble” I made fun of him
“Most likely” he just shrugged it off. “You ready to get demolished.”
“Enough talk” my phone vibrated.
“How’s everything going” it was a text from Edward.
“She looks miserable, she heard Jacob. How is he by the way” I
closed the phone.
“Was that Paul?” I looked at him.
 “Nosey aren’t you” he laughed. “But no that’s Edward my best
friend/adopted brother. He's worried about Neese.”
“You know for those to be your adopted brothers, they are very
protective.”
“We are all we have” I looked at him.
“Dana, I think Neese’s sick” I looked at Neese, she didn’t look well, I
walked over to her.
“What wrong Neese?” she looked in my face and I knew exactly
what it was but I had to be sure, I leaned my ear towards her mouth.
“I need to get home to Jacob” my phone went off.
“Can you guys bring the car around” Carlos nodded.
“I’ll carry her” before I could say no, she was in the air, I grabbed
her purse, I opened my phone.
“He left”
“Neese isn’t feeling well; we’re on our way home. Try to have him
back…she’ll be sick if you don’t” I closed my phone and we rode home.
“What a waste of time”
“I guess I’ll have to get you in the chamber another time” I just
smiled at him because there was no way; I was going out with him again.
By the time we made it outside, everyone was outside waiting,
everyone but Paul and Jacob. Will escorted her into Edward’s arms. I
thanked them for the evening, Carlos looked reluctant to leave but what
other choice did he have. He waved goodbye and followed suit.

Once we made it inside, Bella looked at Dana and said.

“I knew this was a bad idea! You don’t touch her just leave. It’s your
fault, she has to go through this!” she was blaming Dana, she snarled at
her
“I was only trying to be her friend instead of treating her like she's
not growing at a rapid velocity.” They all looked at her; Bella walked over
and slapped her.
“Don’t you talk like you know her?!”
“Bella, I understand you are upset but if you hit me again, I will
destroy you”
“That’s enough Dana!” I yelled, she cut her eyes at me and went up
the stairs.
“Bella, that was mean. It wasn’t her fault” Alice said but none of us
didn’t anything no one followed her, even though it was Jasper who
wanted to, he was the one who finally did take the step towards the steps.
I felt bad that it wasn’t me; after all she was my best friend. He didn’t
speed he took regular steps, going up each steps one by one. I listened for
Dana thoughts but heard nothing so I figured she was projecting, Neese
didn’t say anything she just laid there thinking of how she hurt Jacob so
much. Bella looked at me,
“She's fine Bella, she really needs to be alone” I said as Jasper came
back downstairs.
“Dana left” he looked at Alice.
“I can’t see her, she must have Kendall with her.” they looked at
me.
“Tell Paul, I’ll find him” I shook my head.
“All, I can hear from her is tell Paul, I’ll find him” the entire room
went quite, as Rosaline shook Neese by her shoulders. She opened her
eyes.
“Where's Jacob” she asked.
“He went with Dana and Paul to her hometown” Emmet lied quickly.
“Dana left” we nodded. “Why” no one answered.
“She's going to come back soon” was all I could hope for.
“What about Jacob”
“I never left” she looked at him and started to cry. He took her in his
arms. “You know I can’t stand to be to far away from you”
“I think they need to be alone” I got up as followed the rest of the
family; we ended up in the basement.
“I didn’t mean for Dana to leave” Bella pleaded with me, I was mad
she left but I couldn’t stay mad at Bella.
“How are we going to find her” Jasper sat down, Alice on his lap,
she was trying to calm him.
“I didn’t mean to come off so mean” Bella said in a low voice.
“Jasper!” Alice yelled. “Lets go to our room” he was about to hit the
roof.
“Bella we know it wasn’t your fault, you needed somebody to blame”
Rosaline said. Carlise and Esme came downstairs, I was still having mixed
feelings about this, I still couldn’t believe Dana had actually left.
“What's going on?” Carlise asked.
“What's wrong with Jasper” Neese asked as her and Jacob came in
too.
“I thought Paul was with you Jacob” Emmet asked.
“He was, Dana meet us and they left”
“Did she say anything?”
“Yea, that it was time for them to go”
“Go where” Esme asked.
“What's happening” Neese asked.
“I’ll tell them” Bella thought, I shook me head.
 “When you came in” she looked at Neese. “I didn’t know what to
think, I had to blame someone, so I blamed Dana”
“What did you do” Neese asked, her voice trembling.
“It happened so fast, I hit her, she threaten me then Edward yelled
at her then she left. I'm sorry Neese I know she was your best friend”
“Don’t talk like she's never coming back.” Esme said.
“She wouldn’t leave without saying goodbye to me” Neese said.
“She’ll be back if only for that reason she know she owes you,
Jasper and Esme the proper goodbyes” that was all I could say, I don’t
know if it reality of the situation hadn’t hit me yet or if I would even care.
“Why'd you have to hit her” Neese scream. “She was my only friend,
who I could be myself with” she was screaming at Bella. “Now I have no
one!” Neese zoomed away, Bella started after her but I stopped her.
“Give her some time, Jacob you go” he nodded and took off, once
he was outside, I knew he would have to transition in order to keep up
with her.

Two weeks had passed and no one had heard anything from Dana,
or Paul. Neese still wasn’t talking to Bella and vowed that she wouldn’t
until Dana returned so that’s why I'm here; Jasper and I are out searching
for her. We are in New Zealand now, its night outside but I heard her
thoughts a few minutes ago.
“Why are you two following me” she came up behind us. Jasper
rushed into her arms and hugged her.
“Don’t you ever leave like that especially without saying goodbye to
me” she smiled.
“Excuse me, you are not my father” she smiled.
“Bella didn’t mean anything” I spoke; she didn’t even look at me.
“I know it was a mistake but you see I'm not one to forgive so
easily” she wasn’t going to make this easy.
“Neese and Esme are worried sick, you are coming home with us”
she laughed at Jasper.
“And who do I suppose is going to make me” just then Paul arrived
with Kendall on his back. Even though it was only been two weeks, Kendall
looked to be a year older.
“Hi Uncle Eddie and Uncle Jasper” his soft voice spoke, we both
smiled at him.
“Hey fellas” Paul nodded.
“Would you so kindly tell your mother that Grandma Esme misses
you and so does Godma Neese” Jasper talked to Kendall.
“Mommie” Kendall pleaded, she looked at me.
 “You guys go ahead I’ll follow I need to speak with Edward” Paul
kissed her check.
“We’re going home?”
“I can’t say no to him” she smiled beautifully at Kendall.
“Hold on tight son” Paul transition and took off.
“I know you won’t run off without Kendall” Jasper kissed her check.
“I’ll see you back at home”
“Why did you come?” her eyes burning a hole into me. “And do me
a favor of not to lie to me because, I’ll just project into and see the truth”
how could I lie now, it’s like she knew. She knew I would lie before I even
thought of the lie.
“Reneesme hasn’t talked to Bella since you left, she blames Bella for
you leaving” Dana rolled her eyes.
“She should”
“Dana don’t be like that.” She rolled her eyes.
“You know what's most difficult to swallow, you blamed me too. You
didn’t come back for your best friend you came back to fix your problems
for your wife. She couldn’t be woman enough to face me on her own” I
snarled.
“Don’t talk bad about my wife”
“Nobody told you to read my thoughts” she took off running, I
caught up to her quickly, I grabbed her arm.
“Dana, don’t make things most complicated than they already are”
she yanked away from me.
“You and your wife better learn to keep your hands off of me!” she
kicked me into a tree and took off but this time I didn’t follow her because,
I knew she was losing control.

By the time I made it back Paul, Jasper, Kendall and Edward were
there. I was fighting two demons within myself. One I didn’t want Neese
not to talk to her mother on the account of me, but on the other hand, I
did want Bella to suffer but the mother side of me had won that battle
before I was out of New Zealand. I walked through the door.
“Dana!” Neese was the first one to spot me; she ran over to me and
hugged my neck tightly.
“Jeez Neese, if I didn’t know any better I’d have to say you missed
me”
“I did! Don’t ever leave me like that. I almost died” I smiled at her.
“I have to talk to you later” I whispered in her ear. Esme was next;
she was displeased with me I know.
“I'm sorry Esme” I put my head down.
 “Don’t you ever take Kendall away from me like that. I was beyond
troubled!” I didn’t raise my head.
“I'm sorry” she handed Kendall to Neese, walked over and wrapped
her arms around me.
“Don’t you leave here again” I nodded. “I need more than a nod,
promise me” I bit my tongue.
“I promise” I meant that more than I intended to. Every one said
there hellos until I got to Bella, she just looked at me. “Neese put Kendall
down, he can walk” she put him down. He walked to Esme. I held my
hand out for Neese and the other for Bella, at first they just looked at my
hand but grabbed them at the same time.
“Neese, this is your mother, nobody is worth the relationship you
have with her. You will always have me no doubt about it but this is your
mother” I placed their hands together. “Don’t you ever let me hear that
you let anybody come between the bond you two have. The things you
take for granted.”
“I don’t take things for granted” she cried.
“Yes you do and I only say this because I love you but you do, you
will have your mother forever, what I would give to see my mother just
one more time” she was crying. I looked at Bella. “I think she needs a
hug” I smiled and she smiled back.
“Thank you” I wanted to tell her to save it but I just smiled and
walked away. Edward started towards me.
“Don’t take another step towards me” he didn’t listen; he was still
coming towards me. I looked around.
“I'm going up to the room. I’ll be right back down, I need to
change”
“You better not follow me” I knew he would but I was hoping he
wouldn’t because I was still uneasy. I walked upstairs, my room was in the
exact mess I left it, I laughed it was like they knew I was coming back, I
knew I would be back. I laughed at the thought. I started cleaning the
room, clothes were everywhere, I knew I could be done with this in
minutes but for so reason I took my time cleaning.
“Thank you” I turned and he was sitting on my bed.
“What's make you think I did that for you” he laughed.
“I know you didn’t but still thanks are due” I rolled my eyes.
“Ok you thanked me” I was waiting for him to leave but he stood
there. “Ok its time for you to remove yourself from my room” I was
breathing loudly.
“I don’t care if you hurt me Dana” he laughed. “You can’t hurt me”
 “Wish I could say the same” god damn, I didn’t want to think that.
He smiled but his eyes read something different.
“I never wanted to hurt you Dana”
“It’s fine, I don’t care Edward. You're forgiven, is that what you
wanted to hear” I was trying to say whatever it took for him to leave but
he didn’t budge.
“Dana, you’ve got to look at it from my point of view”
“Edward's there's nothing to look at really. She's your wife, Neese’s
your daughter. I have no right to be angry right”
“But you are and I understand why you are” I just looked at him.
“Dana, don’t you understand where I'm coming from” I didn’t look at him,
I didn’t want to hear his voice.
“I don’t want to understand Edward!” I took a step towards the
door, but I would have to past him and I didn’t want to chance him
touching me causing me to snap.
“I love you Dana with your stubborn self, don’t you hear me when I
say that to you” I looked for another exit route; this wasn’t what I had
came back for. I looked at the window and jumped, I heard him yell my
name but I was already gone.

I didn’t know if I should follow, I knew she would be back but I had
to talk to her in private so I jumped out the window, I followed her scent
because there was no trace of her in my view. Her scent led me to our Ice
House, we had built, and she was standing a few feet ahead of it. I didn’t
take a step closer to her instead I went inside and came back out with the
piano, I sat it down close to her, I knew Dana loved music and if she
would listen to my words, I knew she would hear the music, I started
playing, she never turned to me instead she removed her jacket, she stood
on her toes and started dancing. She moved her body like it belong in this
rhythm she had come with on her own. I was intrigued almost hypnotized
but that didn’t stop me from playing once one song ended I started with
the next one. She ended on the ground and stopped moving completely, it
looked as if she had stopped breathing.
“Dana” I called, still she didn’t move, I kneeled beside her and
touched her back softly, she looked up at me. “You dance beautifully”
“Thank you for that” she stood.
“No thank you. I had no idea you could even dance”
“I went to school when I was younger” after that day Dana and I
went back to our normal selves. Back to school and our normal boring life.
 “I'm happy it’s Winter Breaks” Neese came up to the locker next to
Dana’s.
“What you got planned” Dana asked her.
“You know, we’re taking that trip to Fork”
“Dang, everybody’s going. Paul’s taking Kendall to see his mother.
You, Jacob, Bella and Edward are going to Forks also. Alice and Jasper are
going to Rome and Rosaline and Emmet are going to Africa I'm going to
be so bored.”
“You could always come” Dana cut her eyes at her.
“Naw, it’s been a while since I've been by myself. I'm going to play
video games and hunt polar bears” she smiled weakly.
“Dads trying to talk mom out of going”
“You guys need to see Charlie”
“Yea, we do not him. Grandpa can’t stand dad. I'm going to talk to
mom”
“Neese it’s really fine”
“Talk to me about what” Bella walked up with Paul.
“You letting Dad stay, so Dana won’t be alone for Winter Break”
“You aren’t coming to Forks?” Bella asked.
“No”
“Why not” Bella looked at her with sympathy.
“Because, I don’t want to be around no werewolves all day, you
don’t have to worry about me Bella. I’ll house sit” she smiled, Bella didn’t
look convinced. She walked over towards me.
“Do you want to stay” I looked at Dana, she shook her head no.
“I will”
“I’ll feel bad if we all leave her alone” Bella said.
“Bella, it’s not your place to feel bad, it’s mine” Paul walked over.
“Don’t anybody need to feel bad! Your mom hasn’t seen Kendall yet
and Edward should be with his family! Do you people listen; I will be fine
by myself”
“Edward’s going to stay with you Dana whether you like it or not”
Bella said.
“Bella…”
“Your welcome” Dana hugged her.
“Thank you”.

I didn’t like leaving Dana, but she was so stubborn, once her mind
was made our there was no changing it and she was not about to go to
Forks.
“This is hard” she handed Kendall to me.
 “I wont let any harm come to him” she looked in my eyes.
“I know but that doesn’t make it any easier” the horn blared, she
raised her middle finger up to Jacob, he smiled. She looked at Kendall.
“Mommy’s going to miss you. I’ll see you in a week”
“Five days” I corrected her. “I owe Edward, I would have barely
slept if you were here by yourself” she smiled.
“Alright, go before I have to rip Jacob’s head off” she kissed
Kendall’s forehead and my lips. “Go before I not let you leave” I smiled
and she kissed me again. Jacob honked the horn again. “Go” she smiled.
“I love you”
“I love you” she looked at Kendall. “Mommie loves you too” and just
like that we were on the road.
“You two act like you’re never going to see each other again” Jacob
joked.
“You talk all that mess, but I've never seen you without Neese” he
smiled. “I thought so” the ride was pretty quite, we had pulled over now I
was driving; Bella was looking out the window.
“I owe you a thank you” she turned to me.
“Why”
“Because if it wasn’t for you, she’d be alone right now” she smiled.
“Dana thanked me a million times already. Not you too”
“How do you feel about their relationship” she shrugged her
shoulders.
“It’s fine in my eyes, their like little kids when their together.”
“You ever threaten by it”
“Never” she looked at me. “You?”
“No, I just wonder sometimes are there things she tells him, she
doesn’t tell me”
“I'm sure there is like there are things I can talk to Jacob about that
I would dream about telling Edward. I know I have Edwards heart and
from what he tells me, you have Dana’s” she touched my arm.

“I beat you again!” she stood up and did that victory dance again!
“Come on! One more game!” she laughed.
“No, I've beat you twelve times in a row. You don’t come back from
that”
“Well what are we going to do?”
“Whatever we want” she started to miss Kendall and Paul.
“I'm sure their fine”
“I know they are I'm half way worried that Paul won’t come back….”
“Why! That’s impossible you know the whole imprinting thing”
 “Yea but he told me the Leah, Emily and Sam story so bare with
me”
“Why would he tell you that” I didn’t say it aloud.
“Paul loves you” she laughed.
“As Sam loved Leah” I wrapped my arms around her “You want to
know my most scared secret” I looked at her as she tried to change the
subject
“Yea”
“I inherit my mother’s talent” I blinked my eyes several times.
“You don’t even sleep!”
“According to you!”
“When you project” she nodded. “That’s amazing”
“Don’t tell anybody! Please Edward, I told you because it’s only a
matter of time before you knew”
“Wow” that was all I could think to say.
“I don’t sleep all the time but yea when I do, I dream what's going
to happen”
“You ever dream about us” she nodded.
“This is why I brought this up. I dreamt that you would be here with
me alone. Carlise and Esme are going to come down and tell us their
going to hunt and next we were going to have sex.” I swallowed hard.
“I'm telling you this because this cannot happen, I saw fire afterwards” my
mouth was open. Carlise and Esme came downstairs.
“Hey kids, we’re going to go hunting” Edward looked at me.
“Carlise you’re not going to believe this!” my mouth took off before I
could stop it.
“What” his interest was peaked.
“Dana just develops her power to a whole new level” he looked at
her. “She dreams the future” they both looked confused. “I know but she
projects into animals and goes to sleep, then dreams the future she just
told me you guys were going to come down here and say that exact
thing!” Carlise smiled.
“You are truly a powerful vampire. Happy you’re on our side” he
took Esme’s hand. “When we come back, I would like to discuss this in
depth if you don’t mind”
“Of course not” they took off. “You talk so much!” she hit me.
“What”
“I told you not to say anything”
“I just changed your vision”
“Uh! No you didn’t genius! That’s exactly how it happen”
“Why didn’t you tell me?”
 “Why didn’t you listen” she rolled her eyes. “C’mon let’s play the
game so more”
“Did this happen?”
“No”
“Well, what happen?”
“Not this” I sat next to her, she looked at me and kissed my lips, at
first I fought her but then I gave in. she stopped the kiss. “What are you
doing” she smiled. “You were suppose to be stopping this. How about we
take a trip around the world” she stood.
“No, tomorrow. Thanks to you, I have to spend my night talking to
Carlise” she smiled. “You’re staying with me” she grabbed my arm.
“I wasn’t planning on leaving” I smiled at her

No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn’t sleep I missed Dana so

much. I just needed to look into her eyes.
“From what I heard you miss me” Leah came into my room.
“Leah, get out of my room!” I hissed.
“Leah, who is this Leah you speak of. I'm the vampire you’re
missing” I looked in her eyes.
“Dana!” I jumped up.
“Shhh Paul, I’ll stay until you fall asleep”
“Why do I have to be quiet?”
“Because, technically I'm a vampire” was I couldn’t argue there, she
came and lay beside me. I looked at the clock, it 3:33. She kissed my lips,
it felt weird. “Would you make love to me in another woman’s body” I
pushed her off.
“Hell naw!” I roared. “That’s something only for me and my Dana”
she smiled.
“I love you Paul” she kissed me again.
“I love you too Dana”
“Go to sleep, I don’t know how much longer I can stay up her
body’s, she so tired and I do have to put it back”
“You can leave babe, all I needed was to know you were okay” she
smiled.
“I'm better than ok. I’ll see you soon” she stood. “How’s Kendall”
“He’s fine, being bad” she smiled.
“That’s your son” she looked around my room. “My mom asked for
me to keep him in there for the night” a look of worry spread across her
face.
“Don’t worry, he’s safe” she didn’t seem convinced. “Do you want to
go and check?”
 “You check, I'm going to put her back” she kissed me. “Kiss Kendall
for me”
“Will do” I got up and walked downstairs slowly, I opened the door
and saw Kendall sleeping peacefully. I smiled as I went back to my room.

“How’s Paul” she smiled.

“Missing me” she yarned, I looked at her confused. “That mutt was
tired” I laughed at her. “What?”
“You still don’t like werewolves but you're in love with one” she
laughed. “I guess that is kind of backward” she leaned against me.
“What can I say, I'm a complicated person” she got up.
“What?”
“Can you play the piano for me” she followed me to the piano room.
I sat down.
“What do you want me to play?”
“Something, soft and graceful” she twirled in front of me. “Just play”
my fingers started across the keys, my eyes never left them. I was in my
own world, almost forgetting that Dana was even there. My mind went to
Bella, so I played her song. I looked up and she was dancing graceful like
a ballerina. I didn’t stop playing, I just watched her, she had pinned her
hair up and changed into a tight ballerina outfit. She just danced and
danced. Her mind at a silent peace, it felt as if we were making love. As I
started to play fast, her body moved faster. Time slipped away from us, I
doubt we would have stopped, until we both heard hands clapping, we
both stopped and looked at the door. Esme, Carlise, Alice and Jasper were
there watching. It was Alice who was clapping.
“You guys were amazing” she squealed. “I've been to many plays
but I've never seen someone move like the music is suppose to follow her”
“How long have you guys been standing there” Dana said.
“We got here like an hour ago” Jasper was even impressed.
“I've been here for three” Esme said.
“You guys were in your own little world” Carlise said.
“It’s been years since I've danced”
“You couldn’t tell” Alice said. “So elegant” Dana looked at me.
“Thank you for playing for me”
“No problem”
“Was that Bella’s lullaby?” Alice asked.
“It started out as that, I do miss her” I admitted.
“Dana, will you teach me to dance” Alice asked.
“Are you sure you want to learn, I started to teach Neese she quit
on me” she laughed. “She said I was a bad teacher, she didn’t want to
accept the fact that she's a bad dancer” they all laughed. We all went into
the living room.
“Why are you guys doing back so soon, it’s only been three days” I
asked Alice.
“We felt bad for leaving Dana all alone, well Jasper did”
“Do any of you guys realize that I am fine by myself” she rolled her
eyes.
“Jasper thinks of himself as your big brother”
“I know with his over protective self”
“Everyone’s a little over protective of the females in this house” Alice
smiled. “You'll get use to it, don’t worry”
“Yea, I'm starting to” she smiled at Jasper.

We were all sitting around, just talking and laughing when Carlise
phone rang.
“Oh hi Bella” I looked at Edward. Carlise kept talking to her, his
voice barely a whisper.
“I wonder why she didn’t call me” Edward said, he seemed
disappointed, he face went white, even though he was pale skin, his face
went white.
“What's wrong Edward” my heart started to race. Something was
wrong and I knew it.
“Don’t cross their lands, we’re on our way” Carlise hung up the
phone. From that statement, I knew it had something to do with them
dogs.
“Is my baby ok”
“Dana, we have to leave. Edward get the car”
“Carlise! You have to tell me something”
“He told us not to, and for you not to project”
“Who!”
“Paul, he just said hurry” I looked at Edward; he knew what was
going on.
“Edward, tell me!”
“It’s not my place, I can’t tell you. Just come on Dana”
“I'm going to call Rosaline and Emmet” it was bad, we all had to be
there.
“Come on Dana” Edward and I took off running.

We made it there in one day, we didn’t stop once, and I was so

thirsty by the time we got there.
“Where are they” I said.
 “We’re going to Charlie’s house” I followed him to Bella’s dad home.
We got there, I walked right in. Neese was crying in Jacob’s arm. Bella just
as white as Edward was. Charlie came out of the kitchen, he smelt mighty
good. “Where’s Paul” I balled my fist. “Where’s Kendall” my voice cracked,
Paul came downstairs.
“Dana” his eyes were red.
“Somebody tell me what's going on!” I was screaming.
“Bella, maybe you should get Charlie out of here” Edward warned,
she nodded and stood next to him, I knew she had her shield around him.
I looked at Paul, he couldn’t find his voice, and I knew it. In walked
Carlise, Alice, Esme, Jasper, Emmet and Rosaline.
“Dana” Neese walked over to me, she grabbed my hands.
“No Neese, I don’t want to hurt you. You tell me” I looked at Paul,
then at Edward.
“They took him” Edward spoke.
“Dana, please remain calm” Carlise said, he took a step towards me.
“They killed him” Neese screamed, I felt everything in me so red.
“Dana!!!!!!” Paul caught my body, I wasn’t in my body, I wasn’t
anywhere, and I was looking down at them. I thought back to what Neese
said. They killed my baby, they killed my baby! He was only a baby.
“Dana, we’re going to get them” Edward said.
“No, your not because, I'm going to kill them myself”
“Dana, they are big in numbers, they know your powers, let us help
you” Paul looked at him. “I can still hear her; she’s going to kill them
herself”
“Tell her…”
“She can hear you guys”
“Dana, we are going to make them pay for killing my godson” Neese
screamed.
“We have to be smart about this, they’ll be expecting us” Jasper
said. Going back into my body, I would have to deal with the hurt; the
hurt of losing the only person who I knew would love me unconditionally. I
didn’t know what to do, one thing was for sure. I was going to kill me
some werewolves but first I was going to have to take advantage of being
able to float without being in any being.

“She’s gone” I told them, all of their faces fill with worry. “She just
wanted to see the world away from the hurt she’s feeling in her body”
“How did this happen” Rosaline looked at Paul, then Jacob. Paul
didn’t say anything.
 “Sam and his pack came into the house and took him” Jacob
answered. Esme growled.
“We have to wait for Dana” Alice said.
“For what” both Emmet and Jasper said at the same time.
“She needs to be there” Neese said.
“She’ll be back in a few hours” Alice said. Paul was still holding her
body, tears running down her body.
“She’s never going to forgive me for this.”
“Nobody blames you” Bella said. Jasper sneered.
“She will” nobody said anything for a long time.
“Maybe we should come up with a strategy for this attack” Neese
said, she looked at Jacob and Paul. “You guys going to be okay with
fighting them”.
“They killed my son!” Paul roared. “I'm going to kill Sam with my
bare hands” she was actually talking to Jacob.
“They were wrong, I didn’t want to have to take it this but it seems
they haven’t left me with much of a choice” it hurt him that it had to come
to this but he knew what had to be done.
“How do you guys even know he’s dead” Carlise asked.
“My mother said that Sam said he shouldn’t be breathing when he
took him” Paul said.
We all sat sitting and discussing the best way to attack them,
everyone had a plan and everyone saw a flaw in any other one. When
there was a knock at the door, Bella got up and answered it, it was Emily,
Sam’s wife. Her eyes red like she had been crying. Neese growled.
“What are you doing here” she said.
“I can’t believe they could actually do those things they did to my
son” it was Dana.
“Dana?” Alice said when she nodded.
“They burned my baby’s body” her knees gave out; Neese walked
over and hugged her. “He wasn’t even one”
“Why are you in her body” Rosaline asked.
“Because I’m going to kill Sam”
“No, he's mine” Paul roared.
“No!” she yelled. “I've had time to think and I don’t want to lose any
of you too. I'm going to take his heart the same way he took mine.” No
one understood what she was saying but me.
“Dana, she had nothing to do with this” I said.
“And Kendall did” she walked in and looked at her body.
“What's going on” Jacob asked.
 “She’s going to kill her in front of Sam” no one said anything and
that was a good thing. Dana was lost in her own hurt.
“You know she doesn’t even know what he did, doesn’t even know
that he took my baby”
“Easy everyone” I said. “She’s lost it” they all looked at me; she was
looking in a mirror.
“We can’t let her kill that human” Carlise said, I couldn’t say I
blamed Dana, if I lost Neese to some foolish, I would do the same.
“How you get her here”
“I took over her and walk my ass over here. Jacob and Paul let’s go”
she went over to her body. “Carry my body Paul” she looked back at us
and thought. My Family. “You guys meet me in the field, in an hour” I
nodded. “Don’t worry Carlise; I'm not going to kill her”
“Yet” she thought as they walked out.
“We’ll be there” Neese said to her best friend.

She looked at Jacob and frowned.

“What” he said.
“If you don’t want to be here, you don’t have to. No hard feelings
really” she was lying and I knew it
“I actually think it would be better if only the two of us come” I said.
“I only asked him to come as a precaution for you” she smiled.
“I don’t mind” he said as we walked into Sam’s house.
“Where have you been” Sam roared.
“Emily stepped out for a moment” she smiled, he looked confused.
“What's going on?”
“Did you have to take my baby Sam?” Paul growled.
“Easy babe, he’s going to pay” she came up next to him.
“Emily?”
“Guess again” she walked over to Paul and picked up her body.
“Aren’t I beautiful” she smiled as he came to realize what was going on.
“Dana?”
“It’s about time!” she walked over to him. “You know she's actually
scared of you” she laughed.
“What are you doing?”
“Getting some answers before I do to you what you did to me”
“Get out of her!” his hands started to shake.
“Easy Sam, you see you try and kill me the only person who’s going
to get hurt is Emily. Well I guess you'll just be doing what going to be
done anyway” she sneered. “Now sit” he didn’t want to but what could he
do.
 “You took my baby, yes?”
“Yes” she nodded as she picked up a knife, he rose
“Now now” she put the knife to her throat. “We wouldn’t want me to
slip and make a mistake, now would we” he sat back down.
“Did you kill my baby” he didn’t say anything. “Why doesn’t she
know that you took my baby and are in the habit of killing infants?”
“Infant? Yea right” he laughed, she nodded.
“You see Sam you took away my reason to live and I plan to take
your away from you” his eyes went sad and she laughed. “I did plan to
just kill you but I think this is so much more fun” a tear escaped his face.
“Wait Dana!” he screamed.
“Wait for what?”
“Can I have a couple of minutes?”
“A couple of minutes for what”
“The last thing I want is for harm to come to Emily, just give me a
few minutes”
“I'll meet you in the middle, you got twenty minutes” we turned to
walk out, when she turned around. “Oh! And Sam” he looked at her.
“Come alone, I’ll know if there's someone with you”

We saw them coming in the horizon, none of them said anything.

Jacob was impressed with the way things went down, the way Dana
handled herself. Paul was shocked at the way she kept her emotions in
tack. Dana felt hope, for some reason. They walked over us; Paul placed
her body on the ground behind us.
“Edward, let me know when they are coming” I nodded; she went
back into her body.
“She’s so weak” were the first she as she got off the floor. She
looked at Emily.
“Where am I?”
“You’re in my care, if you run. I will eat you alive” Emily eyes got
wide. “Don’t worry Sam’s going to be here in a few minutes to get you”
she nodded again. “I just want my baby back, and Sam took him” Emily
was too afraid to object, she just sat down.
“Dana” Esme came over to her.
“Don’t worry Esme, I have no intentions on killing her, frankly she's
too weak for my liking.”
“He’s coming Dana and he’s alone and in human form” she smiled.
“When you wake up. You’ll be his arms.” And with that Dana went
back into her body.
“He just want you to come” he looked at Dana, she smiled.
 “No!” Paul roared, she smiled, and walked over and kissed him.
“Its fine Paul, Edward will know if I'm on any more harm before I
do. Emmet run my body to the middle point”
“Dana…”Jasper took a step towards her.
“I’ll be fine big brother” she kissed his check and walked away.

I really hoped I wouldn’t have to kill this human, I wasn’t to keen on

killing human, but if he kilt my baby, he would have to tell her body. He
was standing a few steps from my body, when I came up I put my body
behind me.
“He’s not dead’ his first words
“I know, where he is” his hands were empty.
“In a cage right behind me” I looked behind him and sure enough
there was my baby locked in a cage.
“Go get him Edward”
“How dare you put my baby in a cage?” I went back into my body.
“Take this as a warning, if you ever lay a finger on my baby, I will make
you rip her head off! Keep your paws off my child.”
“You really stole her baby” Emily was truly shocked.
“Sorry I had to involve you but it was the only way, I could get him
back.”
“I'm sorry” she said, her eyes were genuine; I wasn’t excepting to
hear that from her.
“I don’t need your sorry, just my baby”
“You deserve it though” I nodded and smiled.
“Thank you” I cut my eyes at Sam. “Hopefully I never have to see
you again” I turned to leave but then turned back to him. “You know the
bad thing; Paul actually missed you a lot.” I walked away and to my
family, and in Paul arms, there he was the joy of my life. I took him from
him and starting kissing him until I couldn’t kill him anymore.
“Ma Ma” came out of his mouth, I squealed with joy.
“Did you hear him?” I looked at the faces of the people in front of
me all of them smiling at me, at the scene being unfolded before them.
“I've miss you so much Kendall, you will never know pain, I promise it to
you for as long as I'm alive!”
“Let’s go home” Paul said, I smiled his way as we headed back to
Charlie’s house to get the vehicles.

It was finally the end of the year and Angel’s party was tonight
Bella, Alice and Dana went to keen on going but wouldn’t let us go without
them.
 “What time does this party start” Rosaline asked
“7:30 p.m.” I answered.
“Well its 7:30 now, we can’t arrive until at least an hour later” Neese
smiled.
“I don’t know why we are going anyway” Dana complained, she
looked good wearing all black along with Paul.
“Don’t start Dana” Paul and Jasper said together. She just rolled her
eyes and walked over to Alice. They started talking to each quietly, Bella
walked over and the three of them started snickering.
“What are they talking about” both Paul and Jasper were thinking, I
couldn’t help but think the exact same thing. Bella put a shield up around
the three of them so I had no idea what was going on.
“What are you guys talking about?” Paul asked, they looked at him
and their smiles immediately went away.
“Nothing Paul” Alice said.
“Edward” Jasper looked at me.
“I can’t tell you, Bella's shielding them”
“And for good reason” she smiled.
They all stayed together, still laughing and joking together.
“Oh yea!” Dana said as she turned to Paul. “I almost forgot to tell
you what Mz. Catty told me about the talks you and her have” Paul started
laughing.
“Are you jealous?”
“Don’t let me see you dancing with her or I'm going to eat you both”
everyone laughed but Dana was serious. I saw now I would have to watch
her.
“Mom, are you going to dance” Neese asked.
“Not likely” Bella still didn’t dance at all.
“I can always make you” she smiled at me remembering an old
memory we shared.
We arrived at her house on 9:30, they owned mini mansion, we
walked up to the door, they had bouncer in the front of the door, and we
showed them the invites. They nodded as we walked in; there were kids
everywhere, alcohol being floated around.
“Neese you better stay away from the drinks around” I warned her,
she nodded as she saw one of her friends took Jacob’s arm and walked
away.
“These drinks are spited?” Dana asked I just nodded.
“I'm going to get a drink” Paul smiled as he walked towards the
table. The rest of us stayed together until we found a table. The seven of
us took up two table, we pushed them together. Dana was sitting on the
edge saving a seat for Paul when Carlos approached.
“Saving me a seat, were you?” he smiled.
“Actually that’s for Paul” he sat down.
“He left you alone, you want to dance” she smiled.
“You know you’re pretty bold to sit here with us” Jasper said.
“Yea he is” Emmet said.
“You want to dance, that’s the only reason I came over here” Dana
bit her lip.
“Rain check” he smiled.
“I'm going to hold you to it” he got up and walked away.
“Oooo Dana I'm telling” Rosaline teased, Dana just waved her off as
Paul, Catherine, Angel, Rosella and Tanya approached. I grabbed both
Dana and Bella’s hand.
“Hey, I thought you guys weren’t coming” Angel looked at Emmet.
“My feelings really would have been hurt”
“I tried to keep them away” Paul thought.
“You ladies don’t mine if we take these gentlemen off your hands for
a while” none of them spoke.
“Aww come on, it’s just some harmless dancing” she smiled sweetly.
“Go” Rosaline said they rest of them turned their heads to her. “Do
we really have anything to be worried about” Rosaline flipped her hair. The
rest of them smiled.
“Yea go ahead” they all pushed and smiled at us. At first none of us
moved then each girl took our hands and lead us to the dance floor. We
danced with the girls but each one of our minds was on the girls.
“What was that about?” Emmet asked.
“What are they planning” Jasper asked.
“This is a bad idea” Paul said, I tried to listen over at them but got
nothing, Bella must have had her shield up again, I shrugged my shoulders
at them, I was at a lost and I really didn’t like being left out of the loop
even if it wasn’t any pf my business. As we danced, Tanya was babbling
on about how happy she was that the year was finally over and how she
couldn’t wait to start her job, I looked over and there was Jacob dancing
with the girl, I couldn’t remember her name to save my life, I laughed to
myself. I looked over at the table where we were all seated and it was
empty.
“Edward, are you listening to me” I looked down at her face, she
was cute but not my type but I had to be nice.
“Yes, I did Tanya” she pulled me closer to her body but I backed
away.
 “How long have you known Bella?”
“Going on five years”
“It isn’t weird being involved with your step sister” I smiled at
thought of Bella being my step sister.
“I don’t think of her as a sister” she smiled.
“And what about Dana, do you think of her as a step sister or in the
same way you think of Bella?” that question caught me off guard.
“Dana is my best friend nothing more nothing less” I stared directly
in her eyes when I said this; I wanted her to know I met business.
“If you looked at me the way you looked at her, I’d want to be your
step sister too” I stopped dancing and backed away from her.
“I think its time we stop dancing” she smiled wickedly.
“I must have hit a soft spot” she turned and joined her group of
friends. I hadn’t even noticed I was the only one still dancing. I joined
them. They were all in silence; Paul was still drinking the ‘punch’.
“Where did they go” Jasper asked, no one answer because no one
knew the answer. “They didn’t take their purses so they can’t be far”
“Over here Edward” I heard them all think, I followed the voices, I
couldn’t see anything so I stood and sure enough there they were
laughing and smiling even my Bella on top of the bar table dancing. All
eyes were on them.
“There they are” they were already on their feet they just followed
my finger.
“Are you kidding me?!” Jacob said,
“Are they really doing this” Emmet said. They rest of us just stared,
they really looked beautiful up there, dancing and singing along to the
music, I couldn’t help but smile at them, I looked around at my brothers
and each and every last one of their faces had a smile on it. They d-jay
turned the music down.
“THIS ONE IS FOR THE FINE LADIES STANDING ON TOP OF THE
BAR!!!” he yelled as Conceited by Remy Ma started playing. By this time
everyone had stopped dancing and they had all eyes on them. I had never
seen this side of Bella before or none of them. They were truly enjoying
themselves and I couldn’t help but thank Dana for that even though I
didn’t know for sure if it was her who came up with this little plan.
“Come over here” Rosaline thought as I made my way over to them,
of course my brothers followed suit. We helped them off the bar and
headed towards the door. Once we made it outside.
“That was some showing you guys put on” Paul said, his words
slurred a little bit, and he was still drinking. Dana took the cup from him.
“Maybe you should stop drinking”
 “Let me finish that cup” he reached for it.
“No Paul, why are you even drinking” I saw a fighting coming.
“Because I am a grown man and if I want to have a drink I can” he
snatched the drink from her and spilled it on her. We heard laughs coming
from behind us, we turned around slowly. There stood the group of girls
that was causing all this trouble.
“Now that’s entertainment” Angel said as the rest of them continued
to snicker.
“Don’t keep letting her run your life Paul” it was Catherine talking.
“You don’t have to keep taking everything from her just because you two
have a baby” Dana was gone before I could stop her; I caught her body
before it hit the ground. She opened her eyes in Catherine’s eyes.
“Dana get back here” Neese yelled, she smiled and shook her head.
“Why should I when I’m learning so much from her.” Catherine
friends looked at her weirdly.
“Are you okay Catherine?” she looked at them.
“I’m fine” she took a step down the stairs over to Emmet. “Emmet,
did you plan on telling Rosaline about how you told Angel about how she
wants a baby so bad that she thought about stealing Kendall from Dana
and use to think about stealing Neese from” Dana shook her head at
Rosaline, Bella grabbed my hand. She walked over to Paul and rolled her
eyes at him. Dana left her body and when she came back, she was in my
arms, I let her down.
“How did I get over here” Catherine asked.
“You walked” her sister Rosella answered.
“You must have been drinking too much” I laughed.
“Maybe its best if you guys go back to your party” Alice said, they all
looked at her and smacked their lips, Dana walked over to Rosaline.
“Not here Dana” Alice grabbed her by her shoulders; Dana just went
her car got in and zoomed away.
We all trailed in cars behind her Alice, Jasper, Bella and I rode in my
car while the rest of them rode in Emmett’s truck.
“I can’t believe Emmet and Paul, well you can expect that from a
dog but Emmet!” Alice ranted.
“I can’t believe Rosaline wanted to steal my baby!” Bella was upset
about that. “Steal Dana’s baby. I can only imagine how she feels, what's to
stop her from doing so now”
“Bella you know Rosaline wouldn’t do that” I said.
“Does Dana” Jasper said aloud while the rest of them thought it.
“We’re going to the Ice House” Alice said as we pulled in front of the
house.
 “Make sure Dana does not leave” Jasper said as he and Alice hoped
in her yellow Porsche and together they drove away. Dana was in the
piano room, Paul was in the bathroom throwing up and Rosaline and
Emmet were in the garage arguing. Neese and Jacob were sitting in the
living room, chatting softly to each other.
“Can you play for me” I heard Dana thinking. “Its fine if Bella comes
in and the rest of them just keep Paul and Rosaline out of my sight for a
while” Bella sat down on the love seat.
“Dana wants me to play for her, she said she doesn’t mind if you
guys come and watch. Believe me it’s worth it” they all followed me into
the piano room.
“Hey Dana, you okay?” Bella couldn’t help but ask she just smiled
instead of responding. I sat down at piano, Bella sat next to me Jacob and
Neese sat on the floor on a corner and I started playing. Dana just listened
at first then she started to lose herself in the music, when she was
completely lost, she danced. She just let her angry and hurt get lost in it.
She had found her new outlet; she loved every minute of it. She didn’t
hear Emmet, Carlise and Esme enter. She just kept dancing. No one said
anything. No one move I didn’t even hear a thought. Dana twirled like a
little ballerina. She was honestly at peace a place many of people never
found and she had found hers. She danced through the night, I doubt she
would have stopped but Jacob heard snoring, she stopped and looked at
him and Neese sleeping.
“I guess I should stop” she whispered, everyone smiled at her.
“Dana, that was wonderful!” Esme proclaimed.
“You moved like a feather in the wind” Bella added.
“Sorry for taking your husband from you” she said to Bella.
“Its fine really, we didn’t have any plans” we walked into the living
room.
“Dana, you know Rosaline wouldn’t steal Kendall”
“I know she doesn’t want to make her rip her own pretty face off
her shoulders” she just nodded at him.
“Neese wants you to teach her to dance” Dana laughed and rolled
her eyes.
“We shall see how long that last” everyone laughed. We all sat down
in the living room watching television, when Rosaline came down the
stairs, she walked over to Dana who was now holding Kendall, and she
held him a little tighter.
“Dana please understand I would never take Kendall from you. I will
admit that I was jealous of you and Bella both. You two have something I
will never have” Dana just looked at her.
 “It’s fine Rosaline” she looked at me. “I will kill her if she tries to
take my baby” I nodded at her, because if Rosaline did try to take him,
she deserved whatever Dana had planned for her.
A couple of hours had passed when Paul finally did come back
downstairs everyone was gone except for Jacob, Kendall and I. I would
have gone along but Dana didn’t trust Jacob alone with the baby of course
she didn’t say it out loud but she asked me to stay. He came and lay down
on the sofa.
“You know Dana’s pissed at you” Jacob said.
“Why?” he had no real memory of yesterday.
“She projected into that girl and saw what you and that girl and saw
what the two of you been talking about” Jacob answered.
“I told you that messing with that girl was nothing but trouble” Paul
put his hand over his head.
“Great!” he didn’t realize just how mad she was.
“She danced for us last night too”
“She danced?” he didn’t move.
“Yea it was nice, she moves very sensual” Paul smacked his lips.
“Watch it Jacob” Jacob just laughed. “My head is pounding and now
I got to deal with her”
“It’s your fault” I defended Dana; he was putting all the blame on
her.
“No, its not if she hadn’t projected into her, she wouldn’t know”
Jacob and I didn’t say anything; I just shook my head at her. Kendall
maneuvered himself out of my arms and wobbled over Paul, he started
hitting him in his head.
“Stop it Kendall!” he yelled.
“Don’t yell at him!” we all turned to see Dana and the rest of the
family standing there. Kendall laughed and started towards her.
“Come on with Mommie” she picked him up. “We’re going out” he
clapped his hands and she smiled.
“Where are you going” she looked at him, her smiled faded and she
stared at him then started laughing, Kendall joined in. they laughed
together as they both went upstairs. He sat up, he was on his way up
there but I stopped him.
“Don’t, she's trying to cool off” he pushed my hand off of him; I had
to take a double take.
“Don’t touch me bloodsucker” he growled. “I'm so tired of you and
Dana’s relationship. She's my wife not yours Edward” he was yelling.
“Believe me I don’t want her to be! Dana and I are friends!” he was
about to charge me so I stood, I wasn’t going to let him just hit me.
 When I came back downstairs with Kendall in my arms, I saw Paul
and Edward standing in front of each other almost ready to attack.
“What’s going on in here” everyone looked at me except the two of
them. I walked in between them. Esme came and took Kendall from me.
Bella was in her defense stance, the rest of the family, stuck between a
rock and a hard place.
“He's trying to fight me” Edward spoke, I looked at Paul, he didn’t
say anything. “He thinks I'm trying to steal you from him”
“What! Where is this coming from?”
“Catherine” Edward answered again.
“Get out of my head” he snarled.
“Is that what you really think” I turned completely towards him.
“You’re letting some human come between us! Get in your head” I muffed
him. “You want to leave me for a human!” I pushed him softly but he still
took a few steps back.
“Be careful Dana” Edward warned.
“Don’t worry about her!” Paul yelled his hands started to shake. I
looked and saw Jasper closing in on us, I looked back at Paul.
“Did you imprint on her!”
“No” his mouth didn’t open.
“You want to leave me” he didn’t say anything so I pushed him, this
time he flew into the wall, he popped out of his skin. “You want to fight
me now!” my eyes were black, I know.
“He said, back away” Edward said.
“NO! What you can talk all that stuff behind my back! Now we’re
here and you ain't got anything to say. I wonder what your girlfriend
would say she find out you're a wolf!” he stood on his hind legs.
“He loves you Dana, you and only you” I rolled my eyes.
“I'm leaving” I looked at all their faces. “Don’t follow me!” I stared
into Paul eyes.

She was out of sight before anyone could think to stop her.
“I'm going after her” Neese said, Bella and I nodded at her, as she
left.
“I've got her” I heard Neese think, I don’t know if she was or wasn’t
talking to me but it put me at ease, I knew Dana wouldn’t let any harm
come to her.
“She caught up to her” that put Bella and Jacob at ease. Bella
walked over to Paul, she took her shield down.
“Paul what's really going on with you” he was still in his wolf mode.
 “Get her back”
“Bella…” she looked back at me.
“I'm okay Edward, he wont hurt me” Emmet took a step closer.
“What are you doing Paul” Kendall cooed. Paul eyes went to him.
“I don’t know” he whimper, she took a step closer and scratched
behind his ear.
“Do you not want to be with her anymore?”
“Like I can control that”
“I'm not talking about the imprinting, do you want to be with her”
“What is she saying?”
“He doesn’t understand Bells”
“You shouldn’t just stay with Dana because you imprinted her. If
you can’t deal with her personality”
“Yea, if she's to strong for you. Leave!” Jasper chimed at him, Bella
cut her eyes at him. He didn’t think anything, there was a silence. His
mind went through the memories he and Dana shared. Then he asked
himself. “Do I really love her” I shook my head, this was going to kill her, I
kept my face in the same structure.
“It shouldn’t take you that long to answer that question” I snapped,
everyone looked at me.
“What question” it was Dana, she was listening careful not to think
anything. “I'm sorry Edward”
I took over his body, everyone eyes still on me. I didn’t move I just
stared into Paul’s eyes. I loved him dearly and now he was second
guessing his love for me, I couldn’t believe it. I looked at Kendall, it was
like he knew it was me but I shook my head at him as he reached for me.
“I don’t know what to say” this was Paul.
“Dana’s going to be devastated” that was Esme.
“I should kill him” that was Jasper; I couldn’t help but smiled as he
thought out a plan to kill Paul.
“Just leave Paul; I’ll explain everything to her”
“She loves you…” I started laughing, Paul and I had had this
conversation before many of times and if that’s what he thought I was
tired of fighting him on it.
“Dana get out of me!!” Edward roared.
“If that’s what you really think then why are you here…” I almost
slipped and said I. “…she loves you on a level you’re too blind to
understand but you know what Paul she….” Edward had taken over his
body again.
“Tell him I want him gone before I return, he’s got 7 minutes” she
was calm too calm.
 “What happen?” Bella looked at me as did the rest of the family.
“Dana” Alice said.
“Oh No!” he thought as he transformed back into his human form.
“I didn’t want to hurt her. I want nothing but the best for her” he
was pleading with the family. I walked closer to Jasper, he was about to
spring.
“I think you should leave, she's going to kill you if she sees that
you're here”
“I should explain this to her”
“There’s nothing to explain” she was at the door, Neese at her side
crying.
“Dana…”
“Don’t” she held up her hand, she shook her head.
“I told you I wanted him gone” she looked at me then back to Paul
“I was right about you” her eyes filled with pain. He walked over to
Kendall, Dana screamed. “Stay away from him” Kendall watched the scene
unfold as if he understood.
“He heard my thoughts” Paul was overwhelmed. “Did he
understand” I nodded because he did and right now he was really mad at
Paul.
“Bye bye” he spoke, the way Kendall loved his mother was
something undeniable. Paul walked over to the door.
“I can’t leave her” he said it with such conviction. “I do love Dana
and I am in love with her” he turned and walked over to turn, I saw her
fist ball.
“Don’t you dare, I'm so tired of this endless drama with you” she
back away from. “I don’t want to kill him in front of Kendall”
“I don’t want to make the biggest mistake of my life”
“If you don’t leave, I will bite you” she sneered, she was serious
about that too, he took a step back, and her eyes were black.
“Dana…”
“Leave, there's nothing left for you here” still he came towards her.
“You’re here, Kendall’s here” she looked over at Kendall who was in
Esme arms.
“Take him out of here” she ordered, Esme nodded and left.
