*Author's Note* This is after Breaking Dawn, only a couple of weeks later. I only own my OC(s): Kyle (so far)! And the plotline, the rest of the characters are Stephine Meyer! Twilight Sage (c) Stephine Meyer!

Now, please enjoy this fanfic and Happy Holidays! ~Penn

I drained the buck completely, feeling not a drop left. I tossed it aside, my body happy and content for the moment. A trail of shrunken deer laid in the path I took to get to the buck. Hmm… I never remembered deer tasting so good. I looked over, watching the others feed. I had my share of drinking for a moment I wish I felt sleepy and dream again. One of things I loved… dreaming. Only now, that's gone. Jogged over to Jasper, seeing his shirt almost clean of blood. I wasn't bothered at all by it. I slid off my flannel, putting it in my pocket once again. The grass felt warm against my feet.

"Why do you wander around barefoot all the time?" Emmet asked, jumping down from a bear cave. I shrugged, scratching my hair nonchalantly.

"Because it feels could. Better than having my feet stuck in shoes all the time." I made a face. True, it would be easier to track me but I liked the feeling of freedom it gave me.

"I also ripped half a dozen pairs of shoes after I tried hunting a couple of times," I said. Emmet laughed, shaking his head.

"Better show you the home."

"You guys live in a house?" I shot him a questioning look. Emmet rolled his eyes. I heard him mutter, "Idiot." I growled fake-fight like. He grinned and met me head on when I tackled him. Except Jasper took it too seriously. He threw me to the ground before I could meet Emmet.

The immediate touch of his skin sent anger rippling through my body. My eyes narrowed to slits, a deep growl erupted from my chest. Jasper stared at him, his eyes hard. Ememt spoke behind him.

"Jazz, it was only a play fight…"

"You don't know how he'll take it one step farther." I scoffed him, mimicking his voice perfectly to myself. My muscles tensed and relaxed. So he can control emotions, huh? I eyed him, feeling my eyes go black. Edward stared at him from a few yards away.

"I'm no newborn Jasper…" I hissed, trying to get myself under control. I couldn't and I threw myself at Jasper. I didn't catch him off guard. In matter of moments, he, Edward and Emmet had me pinned down. My mind flashed in anger, turning my vision what seemed red- I always had a temper problem… I could feel the rage seeping through my veins. I struggled against their vice grip to the ground. Suddenly, I lost control of myself and did something I wasn't exactly proud of.

"You wouldn't hurt me, Jasper, would you?" I whispered in Alice's voice. I had heard her laugh and immediately stored in my mind. Jasper froze, staring at me. I knew what he was thinking: his ears and heart were saying Alice but his eyes and mind where saying, no the enemy. My rage died down and I relaxed my muscles. I panted, eyeing Jasper angrily. I had lost myself to my own anger… because of him.

"Let go," Edward said, unleashing my arms. I stood up immediately and raced off before they could catch me.

I snarled and snapped, feeling my own anger and newborn anger pulsing through me. I itched to race back to them and tackle Jasper to the ground; I could picture myself doing it…

He had no right to take it seriously! Stupid vampire… I pounded a tree, scrapping and tearing off the bark in pieces. Someone behind appeared. It was female; I could hear Edward's voice though I couldn't make out what he was saying. Too far away, even for me. They appeared suddenly, him and his mate. Bella, I believe. I continued graphing Celtic designs, I realized was what I roughly drawing in the bark, ignoring them.

"Are you alright?" She asked quietly. My anger didn't like listening to her voice; I didn't want to hear it. Make her shut up please… I thought to myself. I heard a sharp, angry hiss from Edward but I ignored him too. I had to get myself under control and Bella wasn't exactly helping.

"No," I said roughly. My voice chaffed when I got really angry- thus another reason for me to hate my anger problems. I slowly lowered my hand from the design. The same one as the necklace my dad wore. I tore it off, holding it my hands.

"You're an artist." Bella's voice was a bit steadier and more confident. I slowly breathed in and out, humming silently in my head a random song I remembered.

"Thanks but it's a design from my dad's old necklace he wore all the time. Kind of like a good luck charm." I answered, turning to face them. No one else came from the shadows. I tried to push down the guilt I felt for pulling that dirty trick on Jasper because I knew how… convincing my voice could sound. Edward met my eyes. He agreed with me. I sighed, watching the grass move with the small breeze blowing through here.

"Are you sure you don't remember you're name?" I blinked… and allowed myself to think of any memories, anything. I slowly, for some reason, started to think of letters.

"I'm Kyle," I spoke, bursting my eyes open. Bella smiled and I took a mock bow. We all laughed but I shut-up when Jasper and Alice came in, with Emmet and Rosalie running after them. Bella gave me a sympathetic smile before Edward wrapped his arms around her waist.

"Jasper," I spoke, narrowing my eyes. Alice looked at me, a blank face was all I could read. My brow frowned but I shifted my sight to Jasper. I stood up a bit straighter and shifted so partly my side was facing him. I was waiting for an attack, for a burst of anger to come. Nothing.

"I'm sorry, Kyle. I had no right to treat you like that." For the first three words, he's voice was rough and obviously, Alice spoke to him about this. I didn't hold my glaze very long with him. My eyes cast to the ground but I answered him.

"Yeah… I'm sorry too." An awkward silence sliced between everyone. Luckily Emmet was there to help.

"You know… I think it would be helpful if we showed you, our- and your- place! Come on, keep up!" Edward burst out running, almost dragging Bella with him but they were gone in a flash. Emmet howled with laughter and took off after them, Rosalie clinging to his side. Alice smiled at Jasper then raced after her siblings.

"Quite odd, all of you are. I never thought I would find myself here…" I knew was I avoiding the subject I was thinking entirely. I hated the ache in my chest when the couples- meaning everyone- raced together. I was in no rush to find a mate before meeting the Cullens, but it seemed being surrounded by them made that laziness disappear.

"Don't worry, Kyle. You'll find her someday." Jasper's words made me jump but before I could say anything, he was gone. I rolled my eyes, with a dramatic sigh and took off after them.
