Hey guys, just uploading another one of my stories that has been on my phone for almost 8 months now. Its not one of my priotities at the moment, and I'll see where this goes depending on the reponce I get from this.

2007

A small group of four friends were going on a weekend hike, just to escape their lives for a short while. The group consisted of two large athletes, a lawyer and a psychologists that have been friends since kindergarten. The hike was difficult for the lawyer, who didn't train as much as the Athletes or exercise as regularly as the psychologist, even with the two giants carrying all the heavy items.

"Edward! Hurry up you slow poke!" Emmett yelled from up ahead. "With Jake and me carrying all the heavy stuff, you should have been fine!"

"I am not a fitness nut!" Edward yelled back.

"Even Jasper is ahead of you, and he only exercises!" Jacob called.

"Hey! I am right here you know!" Jasper shouted annoyed.

Grumbling, the lawyer walked faster to catch up with the others. The four stopped near a lake known for its great fish and abundance of small game such as wild hogs and small buck. The shore of the lake looked almost exactly like a tidal lagoon would look like, except that the water was fresh and well, they were inland. There were also several herbs growing in the forest that made the experience a little more thrilling if you wanted to survive in the wild.

"Lets set up camp here. We can dig a fire pit in the soft sand and set up our tents around it." Jake said.

Edward took out a small fold up shovel from one of the bags and started to dig a shallow hole into the soft sand as Jake and Emmett competed at setting up their tents. Jasper was setting up his fishing equipment to catch some fish for dinner. When Edward was done digging it, he went to pick up some large rocks and stacked it around the fire pit. All he had left to do was find some hood and start a fire.

"Well, its a tie... Hey, lets get some wood and start the fire going, its going to be dark soon." Emmett said as he looked into the sky.

A while later, the trio arrived back with firewood, and Jake hade managed to pick some herbs while he was at it. Unluckily for them, Jasper had only caught two fish, but it would be enough for the night. It's not like they didn't have any food on them, they just wanted to have everything fresh from their environment.

"Its been a while since we relaxed like this." Jasper said randomly, tossing the fish bones into the fire.

"Yah, its been getting so hectic at the firm lately. I'm just glad we took the chance to escape." Edward commented.

"At least you guys have desk jobs. Coach has been pushing me and Jake harder the last few weeks, not to mention my interview with the Nasa is next week." Emmett said, running his hand thru his hair. "I just don't want to mess up my opportunity to work with their physics team."

Jake rolled his eyes. "You know, you're an absolute nerd right? I mean, who the hell even knows how to separate Charm Quarks so that their separate from the other fundamentals to study them without error?"

The other three stared at Jake like he had grown a third head. "What?"

"You just nerded out and you called me a nerd. Since when does an engineer even study quantum and particle physics?" Emmett asked with a quirked eyebrow.

"You know we share an apartment and you leave your notes almost everywhere right? Besides, the drawing of the particles looked cool so I took a look at it." Jake shrugged.

The group laughed at that, but Emmett could understand what he meant. Some of the particles did look awesome when you drew them in their false colours in orbits to demonstrate it. The small particles forming the larger ones that forms even larger ones until you get something you can see. No matter how interesting physics is, they were here to relax, not talk about work or their study fields.

With the darkness surrounding them like a blanket, the stars and moon seemed to glow even brighter than they normally would. It looked amazing to see, what was even more spectacular was the sight of the snow capped peaks in the distance illuminated by the moonlight. It was eerie, yet so majestic at the same time. Jasper could picture this as the start of either a horror movie or an alien movie where they have to survive the aliens trying to capture them.

"Hey, what's that?" Jake asked, pointing to blue light coming from the other side of the lake.

Emmett grinned. "I don't know, but lets check it out."

Jasper groaned. "I just thought this place would make a great horror film, and here we are starting it."

Emmett and Jake laughed. "Oh, come on."

Jasper and Edward followed their friends reluctantly towards the light that seemed to flash in the distance. As they got closer, they heard a strange noise getting louder and louder as they neared the light. Jasper looked slightly freaked out, but chose to go with his friends, because if they get into trouble, he would just have to rescue them all. At least that was what he told himself.

"Freaky..." he heard Jake mutter as he stood near a small cave that seemed to house whatever caused the lightshow.

"What is that?" Emmett asked.

"I have no idea, but it looks awesome. Maybe its some kind of alien tech or power storage."

"Could be some kind of trick too. You know to get tourists here."

When Jasper and Edward eventually caught up they were just as stunned as the other two, the noise seemed to be getting louder, until the crystal flashed red. Red was normally associated with danger, which is why Edward immediately became nervous and asked them to go back to camp and just forget all of this. His friend however took a few photos, but by the time they were done, there was a flash of light and he blacked out.

Edward woke up with a headache and looked around himself and noticed that he was back at the campsite. Emmett and Jake were busy talking near the lake while Jasper was swimming. Memories of the previous night flashed in his mind, and he realized he had no clue how he got out of the cave. He shrugged, it would have been either Jake or Emmett that had taken him out of the cave, they were both extremely protective of their friends.

"Morning there sleepy head, you passed out on us last night." Emmett said teasingly. "Princess need his beauty sleep?"

"No, I just blacked out. I don't know how it happened, just it happened so suddenly. How did I get out of there anyway?"

"I carried you back here." Emmett replied with a deadpan expression. "What did you think? You magically teleported here? And you are quite heavy for such a skinny-ass guy."

Edward rolled his eyes, and went to the lake. The weekend went pretty smooth after that happened on the Friday, the other two days was filled with competitions and relaxation. Before they left, they had revisited the cave, only to discovered the entrance had caved in and black them from gaining access. They weren't really put off by it, seeing as they almost died there.

MONDAY

Jasper sat in his office after the weekend, enjoying his last moments of peace before his life would get back on. He quickly flipped open his phone and checked his schedule for the day, sighing when he noticed he had a session with a particularly aggressive client as his first appointment at 9am. Richard Demter had been in an accident involving his work and slowly went into a downward spiral that started with drinking last week.

There was a knock on his door and his PA opened it up with a small smile. "Good morning Jasper, I hope you enjoyed your weekend."

"Morning Alice darling." he answered with his southern accent and a smile. "I did enjoy my weekend get-away."

"Glad you did, because you got your first patient here. Mr. Demter..." she said with a frown on her face.

Mirroring her face, Jasper nodded. Nobody liked the man, especially Alice. He was sure that he had been great person before his accident, his records seemed to be nothing but deeds of good will, but after his accident he turned into something that no longer suited his record. Luckily Jasper was moving closer Seattle where his other buddies spend most of their time, Alice his PA and girlfriend was going to move in with him as well. This would be his last session with the man, before he got transferred to a collage of his.

The man entered the room and sat down in his chair with a scowl. "Get this shit over. The only reason I am doing this shit is because I'm not paying for this crap." he reminded Jasper again.

"I understand Mr. Demter, but you have to complete the full duration the hospital and court assigned you."

The phone on his desk rang, the red light flickering above the emergency label. His eyes locked with his patients for a second before he answered it.

"What's wrong?" he asked immediately.

"Jasper! Emmett was in an accident! His motorbikes crushed between two trucks!" Jake panicked.

"Shit, shit, shit! I'll be right there. Have you called Edward yet?" Jasper asked.

"Yah, he's on his way."

"Okay, I'll see you in a few." Jasper said and hung up his phone.

"What was that about?" Richard asked gruffly.

"Friend was in an accident, his motorbike is crushed between two trucks." He replied hurriedly as he grabbed his things.

The look in Richards eye softened somewhat, surprising Jasper. "I'm sorry to hear."

Jasper nodded. "I'm sorry to end our session so abruptly, but I need to go."

The man nodded and Jasper took off, informing Alice on the way before leaving.

Jake watched the accident happen in slow motion, his friend was arriving at the University when out of nowhere a truck sped into him, crushing him and the bike into another truck standing in a parking. Jake nearly puked the instant he realized what happened, knowing there was no possible way for somebody to survive that. A few minutes later, the fire services arrived as well as an ambulance. He hadn't realized he had fallen on his knees with tears streaming down his eyes, until one of the bystanders asked him if he was okay.

A sudden rage built up inside of him, he wanted to scream at the woman for asking such a stupid question. How could anybody be 'okay' when you had just seen your best friend crushed to death. How would he be okay when the truck driver walked away relatively unshaved? His fist impacted the ground, the solid concrete giving way under his knuckles sending bits of it flying. He was suddenly up and running, pushing thru the crowd towards the scene.

"Emmett!" he shouted, but somewhere deep in his mind he knew it was already too late.

"Sir, calm down!" the fire fighter said.

"You don't understand! He is stuck between the trucks!" Jake protested.

Confusion marred the mans features before it morphed into horror.

"Fuck." he cursed as he looked back. "Sir, can you please wait here so we can do our work?"

If somebody had been crushed between those two vehicles, the clean up was going to a messy one. The fireman cringed at the thought of what they would be seeing once they manage to pry the two trucks from each other. That's not something the public should see, especially a friend of the deceased. He quickly joined the other firefighters when he was assured the friend would stay away, and told them the situation in a hushed whisper.

Jake was seething, but nodded and looked as the man jogged to the other fire fighters. He could do nothing now, and he was sure that he would not be able to control himself if he would see his friends body. Knowing this, he decided to call his friends and tell them what happened. Telling Edward had been the hardest, the two were cousins, but it had been just as hard telling Jasper. His voice had cracked several times when he spoke on the phone. Edward would be here the quickest out of the two, he was closer than Jasper. Jakes eyes settled on the truck driver, an immense urge to kill him took hold of him.

With a shout, he ran after the man who looked up at him and his eyes widened in fear. 'That's right, be afraid! I am going to make you suffer!' Jake thought. The emergency workers realizing just what the man wanted to do, quickly tried to intercept him, but Jake was stronger than they were. To them it felt like trying to stop a train on full speed. He threw a fist at the killer, only to have it dodged and imbedded into the metal frame of the ambulance.

He felt a sharp prick in his neck and turned around, to see a medic has injected something into his neck. He growled out menacingly, the sedative having no effect on his system due to his anger. A part of his mind realized that he could feel the drug moving in his system, which made him oddly angrier. He nearly caught up with the driver again, when he caught a whiff of him. At first, he couldn't smell him because of the strong smell of bleach in the ambulance, but now he could smell the alcohol on his breath.

If there had ever been a time he was angrier, he wouldn't know, because what he felt right now was all consuming hatred and anger. Recklessly, he threw another fist at the murderer, but it had been deflected by a police officer pushing him away. Jake not onto give up, pushed past the police officer and tried to plant his foot into the face the killer. Luckily or unluckily, depending on the point of view, the man rolled out and he stomped his foot on the ground, shattering the tar underneath his boot.

The medic from earlier injected him again, making him flare out violently. Shouting at them he started to feel the drug take effect. The sedatives took effect faster than he would have liked as he suddenly felt drowsy and his vision began to blur. His anger was the only thing keeping him awake until he heard what was said next.

"Somebody, get me a stretcher! He's alive!" a shout came.

The anger suddenly evaporated and became replaced by relief and worry. When the anger left his body, so did all the defiance and energy he had and he collapsed onto the floor asleep.

Edward arrived on the scene and saw Jake going berserk trying to attack some man off to the side and the fire fighters pulling the two trucks apart. His eyes nearly bulged out of his head when he saw Jake's fist cause a rather large fist shaped dent into the ambulance, before a medic stabbed and injected him with what he assumed was tranquilizer. The tranquilizer seemed to have little effect on his enraged best friend, but the next words stopped him.

"Somebody get me a stretcher! He's alive!"

Jake looked stunned for a second and his eyes showed relief, before he collapsed to the ground, struggling to keep his eyes open as sleep took him. Edward walked around the crowd to see the damage, but was stunned to see a human shaped imprint and an unharmed Emmett passed out on the ground. Edward thanked whatever god had protected his cousin, because he was fairly certain, that the impact should have been an instant death. He shifted his eyes across the crowds, listening to bits and pieces of the conversations.

"Jacob Black attacked..." "Did you see that dent?" "Guy has some serious strength..." "I would be running if I was him..." "Shit, he should be dead..." "... was drunk and..." "... killed by Jake."

From what he could piece together was the truck driver was drunk, which explains them putting him into the police car. Jake had tried to maim the man and Emmett should be dead, which he had already figured out. He walked to the policemen that had cuffed Jake and placed his sleeping hulk of a person into the car. Edward quickly talked to them, mentioning a lot of legal jargon he knew they wouldn't understand, and managed to get Jake uncuffed and transferred into his car.

"Excuse me sir, but will you please bring that man to the hospital?" the medic asked.

"Of course, but why?" Edward asked curiously.

"I had to sedate him, but a single dose had done nothing to him so I had to inject him with a double. I would like to apologize and keep him under observation for the night."

Edward knew it was risky to do something like that, his father being a doctor had mentioned it several times. He merely nodded at the request, seeing a black car pull into the parking lot, one that he would recognize anywhere. Jasper had bought himself a pitch black Camaro with windows tinted so that nobody could see thru it. He had gotten a medical certificate to state that he had extremely sensitive skin, which is why he needed the windows tinted that dark.

Jasper made his way over to him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "I'm sorry Edward..."

Edward smiled at him. "He's alive Jasper, they took him to the hospital."

"How?" he asked looking stunned. "Not that I am not happy, its just... I saw the wreck as I drove past."

Edward shrugged. "No clue, there's an indent of him in the truck."

After filling Jasper in on the situation, they left to go to the hospital to find out what happened to Emmett and have Jake taken in for observation. Edward idly wondered how the media was going to blow this out of proportion now. The medic had waited for him and immediately took Jake to a room to examine him and told them where to find the doctor working with Emmett. They followed his directions and found the doctor outside his room, frowning at his clipboard.

"Doctor Asper?" Edward asked.

"That would be me, yes. Who might you be?" he enquired.

"Edward Masen, Emmett's cousin."

He nodded. "Ah, yes. He is quite lucky to be alive and its a miracle he managed to only come out with a sprained ankle and a slight concussion."

That shocked both of them. "Is that all doctor? I mean I would have expected it to be much worse than that."

The doctor nodded in agreement. "Like I said, its a miracle. Most people would have been nothing more than a splatter of blood and gore. He should be out of hospital in 2-3days, he just want to keep him for a while to make sure that was all injuries he suffered."

"Thank you doctor." Edward said and looked at his sleeping cousin.

"You can go in if you want to." the doctor said before leaving.

Edward walked in the room to see how his cousin had actually looked without the distance obscuring his view. Looking down, he noticed that Emmett had no injuries on his body from what he could see. His ankle was sprained and he had a light concoction, but that was nothing compared to what should have happened.

"I's odd..." Jasper muttered, looking at Emmett.

The two agreed on that and left the hospital after checking on Jake again. Who was awake, despite how much sedatives he had been injected with. He had called it his strong Quileute blood, but Jasper said it was his idiocy. The two left Jake after an hour, promising to pick him up the next morning.

Tell me what you all think of this, but remember this story is put on the back burner until I finish Saiyan Escape and Altered Start, two stories I should have finished long ago.
