Chapter 2- Explanations and Reunions

Carlisle couldn't believe this. "Why the hell didn't they come see us themselves? Do they have any idea that by coming to Hermione they've put her in danger as well?"

Hermione stood up and walked to Carlisle, placing her hand on his cheek. "Carlisle, they knew you would have told me anyway. From what Marcus said, it sounded like Antony would have found out about me anyway. If so, he would send vampires to either kill me or capture me to get to you guys."

"Personally I'm glad Hermione's the one who told us. After the shit they gave us about you two, I'd be tempted to rip Marcus to pieces." Emmett spoke up.

Severus took a breath then spoke. "Dr. Cullen, I will admit I was confused when this Marcus asked for Miss Granger. Even now I'm not sure how much help she or I will be against an army of vampires. However, I volunteered to come help, so I'll do what I can."

Carlisle smiled softly. "I appreciate that Severus. As for what help Hermione could be…let's just say she's got an unusual ability to fight vampires."

Edward smiled as he read Severus' thoughts. "Don't worry Professor, you'll understand."

"What the hell!" Severus exclaimed.

Hermione giggled. "You see, Edward can read minds. Well, except for me and Bella. Alice can see the future and Jasper can sort of control emotions. You'll get used to them sir."


Carlisle watched as Hermione unpacked. She still had a large wardrobe in his closet from her last visit. He studied her. Her caramel locks pulled into a French braid. She wore a cream sweater with a pair of denim jeans. Of course she wore his favorite shoes; a pair of knee length two inch heeled Prada boots he bought for her in Milan.

"You're staring Carlisle." She said as she hung up a purple dress.

"I'm sorry. Even after two and a half years I still find it hard to believe you still want to be with me." He replied as he stood up and walked to her.

Hermione turned and stared into his golden eyes. "Funny, I think the same thing. I mean, you're much more sophisticated than me, not to mention you could have any woman you wanted. So why me?"

Carlisle smiled softly. "Hermione, human or not you are the most beautiful woman I have ever met. You're smart funny, have a hell of a temper," Hermione giggled and shrugged. "But mainly it's your love and compassion for life that attracted me. You care about all living things, just like I do."

"What about Esme? I know you loved her, as did the others. I hate feeling like they think I'm trying to take her place." She sighed.

"Oh Hermione." He whispered as he pulled her into his arms. "They know, as well as I, that you are not trying to take Esme's place. We all loved Esme, but we all love you too. You are different than her. Yes she had a zest for life, but she detested fighting.

"Yes I detest violence, but I also know it is necessary at times. Like me, you fight when you have to, but unlike me or Esme, you enjoy the fight. When I see you in battle, you simply glow. I find it fascinating. You have this unnatural skill that I have never seen, in humans or vampires; that also attracts me. In our case the phrase "opposites attract" does apply." He smiled.

"Oh Carlisle, you're too good to me." She breathed. Carlisle leaned down and kissed her.


Severus stood on the back porch smoking his pipe. He still didn't know what to make of the Cullens. For vampires, he found them quite civilized. He was surprised to find they fed only on animals; he had never heard of such a thing.

"Don't try to analyze us; it will only give you a headache Professor." Edward chuckled.

Severus turned to face the youngest Cullen. "That's very annoying Mr. Cullen."

Edward laughed. "So I've been told. Unfortunately I can't just turn it off. Normally I tune the thoughts out, but every once and a while someone thinks something funny and I respond."

"Why can't you read Miss Granger or Miss Swan?" Severus asked.

"I don't know. Carlisle believes there's something in their very DNA that naturally blocks them from me, yet Alice can still see their futures. Hermione though has found a way to block Alice if she wants." Edward answered.

"Like when we came here." Severus nodded in understanding.

"That's right." Edward said. A few minutes passed before Edward spoke again. "Hermione talked a lot about you."

This intrigued Severus. "She did?"

"Yes. She said, though you were the toughest teacher at Hogwarts, you were also the most challenging. She enjoyed your classes the most, well next to Transfiguration and Defense Against the Dark Arts."

"I'm honestly surprised. May I be brutally honest?"

"Of course."

"Miss Granger is or was my most annoying student, but at the same time my best. I never gave her much thought outside my classroom. Then Marcus showed up and I found myself volunteering to come here with her. When she told me how she met you and that she was involved with one of you, I was shocked. I was even more shocked when she told me she fought AND beat Jane. I had never heard of such a thing before. Now however, I respect her and am seeing her in a different light."

Edward just chuckled. "Believe me, you're not the only one who felt that way about Hermione. When we first met her almost three years ago, it was kind of a bad time for us. We had lost Carlisle's first wife, Esme about three years prior. A group of nomad vampires came through Forks while we were playing baseball.

"James, the leader, targeted Bella. We had split up. Alice and Jasper took Bella south while the rest of us tried to confuse James. Victoria, his mate, caught up with Esme and killed her. I in turn killed James and Victoria. When Hermione came into the picture, Rosalie hated her. The rest of us got along just fine with her. Rosalie saw Hermione as a threat to the family."

"What changed her mind?" Severus asked.

"Hermione got tired of Rosalie's crap and did something about it. Let's just say, Rose accepted her as an equal." Edward answered with a grin.


Antony looked over the various maps spread out over the table. Though he knew WHO his next target was, he couldn't find WHERE they were. This of course made him even more angry than he already was.

"DAMNIT!" Antony roared, shoving all the maps off the table in the process. "Where the hell could they be hiding! There are only so many places they could be!"

"Is there a problem Master?"

"Yes, my targets have yet to be found Caiden." Antony hissed.

"I thought you were going after the Cullen coven?" Caiden questioned.

"I am, but I have been unable to locate them. The Denali coven refused to speak of them." Antony stated.

"What can I do?" Caiden inquired.

Antony was pacing now. Suddenly he stopped. "yes. Yes there is something you can do for me. One of the Denali was involved with a nomad named Laraunt. Take a dozen of our best trackers and find him. According to her journal, he crossed paths with the Cullens. He may know where they are."

Caiden nodded. "It will be done."
