Angel P.O.V

I looked in the mirror and adjusted my blouse before I left my closet. Today was Bella's birthday and Alice was throwing Bella a party an I promised I'd help. But that meant I could also spend more time with Emmett.

Funny enough not to long after we returned to school the principal called me to the office to tell me the good news. Even though I was a junior I had enough credits to not only be a senior but to graduate as well. I was excited that not only was I able to quit school a year early but I was able to graduate with Emmett.

The family had a small party as a celebration for the achievement. Grabbing my bag I walked downstairs and smiled at Aunt Cassie.

"I'll see you guys later."

"Alright tell Bella we said happy birthday."

"Okay."I went out to the car and made my way to the Cullen's house.

As I arrived I smiled as I saw Emmett and Jasper putting some finishing touches on the decorations. Stopping I parked the car an got out.

"hey Angel."

"Hi Jasper."

Emmett came up and wrapped his arms around me pulling me close giving me a deep kiss. "How are you my sweet?"

"I'm good."

As he continued to help Jasper I went inside and hugged Carlisle and Esme before turning to Alice. "Is there anything I can do you help you get set up."

"I'm good Angel everything is already set and Edward and Bella will be here very soon."

Moving to the couch I sat down waiting, once Emmett came in an sat beside me putting his arms around me. I moved to lay my head on his shoulder and sighed. Closing my eyes I let my mind wonder to when my uncles and Damien left for Ireland.

~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~

I saw sitting at my desk in my room working on my scrap book when Damien walked in.

"May I come in?"

"Of course."

He walked in an sat beside me. "I wanted to let you know me, Donovan, and Keegan are going to Ireland for the Draakul's wedding."

"Who is getting married?"

"Kameron and his mate Marian. But what I wanted to say is that we will be there a while because we have some work to do but here..."

He handed me and envelope and I frowned. "Why are you nervous?"

"Open it."

I had opened in an pulled out a plan ticket to Ireland. When I looked up he was biting his lip.

"I'm not going to make you go to Ireland but I hope that you may like to come and see were the family comes from. I would love for you to come one day."

I smiled up at him. "Alright. I would actually like to learn more about the place where we come from."

~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~

"Happy Birthday Bella."

I looked up to see Bella and Edward was already there. Alice had a camera in her hand taking a picture. As Emmett moved over to Edward I moved to Bella giving her a hug.

"Hi Bella."

"Hey Angel you still enjoying being out of school."

"Yep."

"Presents!"

As Alice moved forward I moved to Emmett's side smiled as she opened the present from me and Emmett.

"Already installed it in your truck, finally a decent sound system in that piece of..."

"Hey don't hate the truck."

"This is from Carlisle and Esme."

Carlisle smiled. "Just a little something to brighten your day."

Esme leaned forward." Yes you've been looking a little pale lately."

I watched as Bella began to open the present. But there was something tingling in my heart as if something bad was about to happen.

"Ow paper cut."

I turned to see Edward push Bella back before throwing a charging Jasper back. When he went to move again I threw out my hand holding him against the wall. Jasper fought against my hold and for some reason it was a little difficult to hold him. "Grab him already I can't hold him."

Emmett and Carlisle grabbed him as Alice ran up to him. "Shh. Shh. Jasper it's okay it is just a little... blood."

I turned to see when Edward had pushed Bella away she had landed on the glass vases. Carlisle flitted to her and I ran and grabbed a rag before going back an handed it to Carlisle.

"Go on Angel I know you want to go check on everyone."

With a nod I walked out of the house to the backyard where everyone was. Seeing Jasper sitting with his head down my heart broke for him. Moving over I wrapped my arms around him as he stiffened. "Easy Jasper."

"I'm not safe Angel."

"An I have no scent you forget you've been around my blood before. I just wanted to make sure my brother was okay."

He wrapped his arms around me and help me tight. I could feel him shake a little. "Everything will be okay Jasper."

"Why must I be the weakest? Why must it be so difficult for me to control my thirst?"

"Jasper answer a question for me. When Bella first cut her finger what did you feel?"

"The burning intensified but I was able to control it till it hit again much... much stronger."

I looked at the others gathered around and knew Carlisle could also hear me. "Has it every crossed your mind that you were not feeling just your hunger?"

He looked at me confused. "What do you mean?"

"Jasper you are an empath you fell every emotion. Did you ever stop to think that maybe blood lust was an emotion. One only a vampire can have. If I am right you would been just find if it was just your thirst but you said it hit harder. You were feeling the hunger from everyone and with Bella being Edward's singer that is a lot more then anyone person can handle."

"I never thought of that."

Esme moved forward. 'See Jasper you are not the weakest but probably the strongest of us all. You survive with all out hungers on a daily bases."

Jasper leaned forward and gave me a quick hug before kissing my forehead. "Thank you little sister."

"Of course."

I moved away from Jasper to Emmett who just wrapped his arms around me and held on tight. Something was off with him and it scared me a little. "Emmett?"

"I'm fine just tense." I knew he was lying but I excepted his answer anyway. "Come on I'll take you on home."

"Emmett?" HE took my hand and lead me out to my car before taking my eyes and driving me himself. Okay something was defiantly wrong but for the life of me I couldn't figure out how to fix it.

He pulled up to the house and parked my car before opening my door pulling me into his arms again. "Emmett you are scaring me. What is wrong?"

"He could have hurt you Angel. You got in the way to help he could have really hurt you. I almost lost you once and I don't ever want to go through that again. I will do whatever it takes to keep you safe." He back me up against my car pressing his body to mine before kissing me roughly.

Now get something straight in our relationship we have fooled around a bit but never did anything other then that. An on occasion he does get a little rough but it was never bad till now. Something about the f of the kiss scared me.

He pulled away and kissed my forehead. "Goodnight my Angel." With that he left.

I felt my heart break, something was terribly wrong. It almost sounded like he was saying goodbye to me. Running inside I ignored my Aunt and Uncle and ran to my room falling onto my bed barring my face in the pillows as the tears fell.

Why did it feel like he is going to be leaving me?

"Angel?"

I felt a hand in my hair and sat my aunt and uncle sitting on my bed. "What happened?"

I took a deep breathe and told them about everything that had happened to the worry eating away at my gut, even the force of his kiss.

"What am I going to do? What if that was his way of saying goodbye and he is leaving."

Uncle Matt sighed. "I dought he is leaving but when I get off work tomorrow we all will go over and have a talk with him okay."

"Alright."

Aunt Cassie kissed my forehead. "Get some rest." They left and I quickly changed before getting into bed with a pillow to my chest waiting for sleep to claim me.

Sorry this chapter seems a little rushed I have never really liked this part in the movies and the books and I was unsure of how to actually write it but I promise it will get better. You may even learn more about the clans.

So hope you will continue to enjoy the story and as always

HAPPY READINGS!
