A/n- Hey Reader! Thanks for clicking on this story! I hope it is as amazing for you as it is for me. So here you go. I do not own the Stephanie Meyer's Twilight. I do however own Carter and the characters of this story that do not pertain to Twilight as well as the plot. Okay here we go!

We ran. We didn't have any other choice. We flitted past the trees and trees. We didn't know where they were. We knew they were close. I was worried for Noah and the other. I would have gone back by now had Danielle not stopped me. She worried as well but her orders made her focus on getting me to safety. She would check in once we found a settled spot where to meet up with the others. We ran in the dark at top speed until dawn broke. By that time we had looked behind us to see nothing was behind us.

"How far do you think we lost them?" I asked her as we stopped to take a breather. I looked all around me. I had no clue where we were. I tried to get a sense by the view. I knew we had to be closer to the US border line.

Danielle looked back for a few moments trying to figure it out herself. "I'm not sure. I think it might have been about two or three hours ago. I couldn't hear their footsteps coming towards us for a while." She looked over at me, "We should be safe for the time being. I want to wait a while before we try and contact the others." I nodded in understanding. Danielle looked back towards the way we came. "We should go and find food. Are you thirsty?" She asked me.

"Kind of. That took a lot of energy. That run was a small portion compared to yesterday's events." I told her accusing.

Danielle looked over at me and gave me a small glare in the eyes and a smirk, "You loved it and you know it."

I glared at her, "I wouldn't call that love. I would call that more like hate and despise." I replied with a laugh. She just rolled her eyes. I caught a whiff of a deer not to far. I looked over at her real quick. She nodded her head. I turned and ran for it. I needed to eat and drink something.

The doe was not to far from where I set out. It was standing there elegantly eating the grain from grass. I felt a twinge of guilt at what I had to do. But it needed to be done. I ran over no to startle her and gave her a quick death by snapping her neck. I drained her real quick. As soon as I was done, I heard a growl come from behind me.

I turned around slowly coming face to face with a big monstrous wolf. I sniffed for its sent. It was a shapeshifter. Great! As if I hadn't already had something on my back. I needed to get to Danielle. I turned and ran back the way I came. I was about a quarter of the way there when another wolf appeared. Shit! I made a sharp left turn. I could hear others behind me. I kept running. I came to a river and jumped over it. I stopped to notice the wolves weren't following me. They were growling on the other side of the river at me. It was like they were not allowed to move.
I turned thinking I was safe when I came face to face with two vampires. One was big and had a lot of muscles. He reminded me of Dino. He had his arms crossed with a mad look on his face. The other had a lot of vampire bite scars all over. I realized he must have been apart of the wars in the South. That was the only explanation I had. While the big one had the muscle, the war guy was more intimidating. One thing I recognized, both of them had gold eyes. "Who are you?"
Before I could answer, I heard growling on both sides. I turned to see two wolves on both sides blocking my escape. I turned to see the other wolves were still on the other side of the river. I turned back the vampires. "You are not getting out of this. Who are you?" The big vampire asked.

I sighed, "Why do I need to tell you?" I asked them. I didn't trust them. Where was Danielle?

The blond vampire looked at me skeptically, "Hey if you want to be dog chow then you can keep trying to get out of this."

I sighed. "My name is Carter. There you happy?" I short answered his question. "You know all I wanted was a deer. You didn't need to gang up on me."

The big guy looked at the whole situation, "You ate the deer on their land. They are willing for us to decide what to do with you. Especially since you didn't kill anyone and have gold eyes. They still don't trust you though."

I narrowed my eyes at the wolves then back at them, "Okay well, I'm not a threat. You vamps have gold eyes just like me. They must know about your diet." I pointed out.

"We aren't allowed on their land either." The war man answered. "Just like they aren't allowed on ours." He looked over at the two crossing my path, "Except for a few."

I nodded my head in understanding. "Uh huh." I nodded my head. "Well, I just want to say, that I don't even know where I am for the most part. I need blood at the moment. So if you don't mind, I'll go drink and be out of your hair." I took a step trying to go in a diagonal line.

The big guy beat me to it, "Not so fast. Our family isn't too far way. The wolves want us all to have a say on if you are safe and can leave on your free will. You see we had quite a few vampires here lately and your sent smells familiar to all of us. So we want to make sure you are not pretending to be something you are not." The guy smiled accusingly.

"I'm not going anywhere." I told them. The big one took a few steps towards me. I noticed an opening for me to run. My legs darted at lightning speed towards the opening. I ran a few miles away. I could hear them on my tail. They were vampires so they could smell my sent. The only hope to getting out of this was finding Danielle first. I ran until I came across it. A scent that I knew. A scent I knew that led to a vampire that would protect me. He may be mad at me. But he would protect me. It was fainted but I knew it lead me to him.

I was waiting too long. I looked back to see the big vampire coming into view on one side and the war vamp on the other. The two wolves were also gaining on me. I took after the scent of him.
A beautiful house came into view. The grass came out until the edge of the forest. The patio was wrap around with big tinted windows the side of the house. The ones you see in movies. It was gorgeous and phenomenal. I skidded to a halt as realization started to click in as I took in five vampires on the porch. None of them being him; however I did recognize one of them.

All to fast it started to click: the gold eyes, the vampire family, the sent familiarity. They knew him. He was apart of their coven. I gazed over all of them my eyes landing on Carlisle's eyes as they widened in shock. He was standing with his hand holding a woman's. He must have finally mated. Everyone else looked with reserved and ready to attack glances.

Everything started to set in as I looked up at these new vampires. I was thirsty and tired of running. I was spent and all I wanted to do was to just relax. Now that wasn't even remotely possible. I wasn't ready for the storm that would be coming once I saw him. I didn't even know the whole story on his end. Was he with them? Was he visiting? The blond war vampire said that they had a few others around. Maybe he had already left? I quickly shook my head no. He was near. His scent was to strong. But for all I knew he could have left this morning. Carlisle would know.

The big vampire and the war vampire came and stood at my sides with distance. The wolves were behind me. "Guess you do want our family to have some say." The blond one remarked. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"Jasper, who is this?" A blond woman vampire asked the vampire that spoke to me. She was standing on the porch with her arms crossed in front. She looked fit to be a model I noticed her worried glance towards the big one. They must be mates. She caught me starring and her face turned to hostile. I rolled my eyes and looked back at the vampire she called Jasper.

The blond vampire merely shrugged. "I don't know. The wolves must have caught her on their land. Emmett and I were out there when we heard Jacob and Seth running. We saw her jump over onto our side and stepped in. She says her name is—" He was interrupted.

"Carter." The whole group looked at Carlisle as he spoke my name. He avoided their starts as he looked over at me. He didn't once glance around. He moved away from his mate and stepped towards me. "Carter…Where have you been?" His voice was full of concern.

I avoided his question, "Is he here?"

Carlisle stopped short. He thought for a moment before answering, "He's out. But he should be back soon." He turned over to a woman with brown mahogany hair. "Bella, could you please call Edward. Tell him Carter is here."

My eyes glittered over to her. She looked at Carlisle confused as did everyone else. "Yeah, call Edward. I really am looking forward to getting yelled at like I'm two after the eventful last few days." I replied snarky.

Bella looked at me with more confusion and as if I was crazy. Then turned back to Carlisle and nodded. She took out her phone and dialed a number as she walked into the house. "Carlisle you and Edward know her?" His mate with brown hair with a kind gentle stance asked him. She gazed at me worried but kindly.

Carlisle nodded shortly. "How?" The blond bitchy woman asked. Carlisle didn't answer as quick as she wanted. She turned to me with an icy glare. "How do you know them?"

"There is a kinder way to ask someone a question. You have been glaring at me all this time." I told her then added in darkly, "Besides I'm obviously not that important if Edward hasn't shared anything about me. You would know exactly who I was if he was glad to share."

"Carter that isn't true. You are very important—" Carlisle was interrupted by a car. I didn't see it but I could hear it coming up the driveway. I heard the door slam shut as I knew exactly who it was.

"Edward, what is going on?" I heard a woman's voice asked on the other side. It must have been Bella. He was pacing up the driveway.

"Bella don't worry. Everything is going to be terrific. Watch Nessie." His voice replied. It made me realize it was something I missed all these years. He came straight through the house. In a matter of seconds he was on the porch. His gaze penetrated as he took me in. I stayed quiet. trying to find something else to look at. "What you going to ignore me?" He asked in an angry voice. I didn't answer. "Where have you been?" I shrugged my shoulders. "We can go at this all day. I have time Carter."

I finally looked up at him. He was pissed. But his expression held a mixture of concern and relief as well. "Look it isn't a big deal." Wrong choice of words! Edward was pissed, "Not a big deal! Carter you went out into the world knowing only god knows what could have happened to you!" He was fuming.

"Edward I can take care of myself!" I yelled back at him.

Edward looked at me as if I was nuts, "Really? Running into a pack of wolves isn't dangerous?"

"Oh come on! It's not like I knew they were there and I would have gotten away if it wasn't for these bozos trying to stop me. Also had I not come across your scent I wouldn't even have come this way. I would have lost these two a long time ago." I paused for a second. "Besides once Danielle caught wind of what was going on she would have soon come and saved me—" Wait—where was Danielle? She should have caught up by now.

"You mean your friend? The one that Sam's pack has cornered up against a wall?" Edward asked questioningly. My eyes widened. In the back of my mind I knew Danielle would be fine. That didn't stop my worry.

I looked around me, "Where is she?" I asked Edward. She needed to be here now. "She's fine. Don't worry. We'll deal with that later. Right now this is about you."

I started shaking my head no. I needed her here with me. I can't hear the creepers if they are close. "I need her here Edward. They can't do anything to her." Edward looked at me confused.
He sighed coming down and standing right in front of me. "Why do you need her? She is fine. You know you are safe here with me. You know I won't let anything harm you." He said narrowing his eyes at me. Before I could answer he changed the conversation."Why are you so thirsty? Your eyes look too weak." Protective mode was coming back and I hung my head.

"I just haven't eaten for a while. I was going to but then I was chased off from my food source." I told him while glaring at one of the wolves. Edward rolled his eyes and walked down the stairs. "It's not healthy to let yourself get too thirsty. We can go hunting in a little bit." He said gazing at me.

I shook my head no. "Not without Danielle," I told him. "She is one of my best friends Edward." I told him the last part pleadingly. I could tell he was debating it. I wanted to open myself to read his mind. I needed blood to help.

Edward looked over at one of the wolves and asked, "Jacob will Sam let her go?" The wolf seem to be saying something to him. He sighed, "Sam doesn't want to let her go. She kicked one of the other wolves legs. It broke." He looked back at Carlisle. He nodded his head and went into the house. I noticed the exchange they briefly had before he went into the house.

"Well, aren't you two close?" I asked slightly distracted. Narrowing my eyes at Edward.

He rolled his head to look at me. "Carter? Really? He is like a father to me." He said before realizing his statement. He looked back at me and shook his head. "He is like another father to me. Not that the first one wasn't great."

"He was an amazing father." I told him. Edward rolled his eyes but shook his head yes.

"Edward, who is this?" The brunette asked stepping back outside. The woman I could guess was his mate. Especially when I noticed her left hand held a ring I was all to familiar with.

Edward looked back at the brunette and back at me. "Everyone this is Carter, my little sister."

I heard a couple gasps coming from around me. Edward's group were surprised. "Edward you have a sister? Why haven't we ever heard about her before?" The blond bitch asked from behind.

Edward looked at her with a sad serious look on his face. "Because it hurt to much to think about her when she was gone." He turned and looked at me. "Now she is back. That's what is important." His eyes darted to behind me.

"Right, if that's what she wants." I heard a voice I was familiar with. A male voice. I turned around to see Dino had caught up with us.
