"Where did you come from?" I asked him casually as Edward moved me behind him. I looked over at Edward confused.

Dino stepped closer but the wolves growled at him. He rolled his eyes but stayed put. He looked over at me. "Katie and I caught up a little bit ago. We found Danielle earlier. Katie is there trying to help if she needs to while I came to find you." I nodded my head in understanding. He looked around at Edward and the other vampires. "Seems like you're okay?" I nodded my head. He took a closer look at me, "I thought you went to go eat. Danielle said that is where you heading."

"Yeah, I was but I only got one deer. That's when I ran into these guys." I told him. I pointed to the two vampires and the two wolves.

He looked at me as if evaluating me, "Did you call for any of us?" He asked.

I glared at him, "No. I was too busy running from them. Once I came across Edward's scent—" My brother turned to me questioningly, "I knew that I could find solace in his presence. I was going to go back for Danielle when I knew that I wasn't leading danger to her." Dino glared at me at the last part. "What? I know she can take the wolves and these vampires. But I didn't want to cause a scene. Also, I didn't have enough energy to call out to you guys."

Dino's eyes popped up at mine and then he looked down and sighed. "You need blood if you're that weak." He said. He walked a step forward and Edward moved us a few steps back. "You think I'm going to hurt her?" He asked Edward.

I couldn't tell what Edward's expression was from behind. "I don't know you. For all I know, Carter got herself into trouble and you are holding her up." He said. Then he looked down at me, "The way she was freaking out about losing her friend Danielle, I would think it is justified."

"I think I get what you mean. She is really a trouble seeker." Dino laughed. Edward looked at him and started chuckling, "And man, just so you know Danielle is going to be pissed that Carter stopped to care about where she was."
I looked at him as if he was crazy. "Seriously! I'm sorry but Danielle not showing up by now is kind of scary." I told him. "Besides, she is one of my best friends. I deserve to be worried."

"Yeah, but you should be more concerned with yourself than us. Danielle knows how to take care of herself." Dino reprimanded me. I glared at him. "What? I'm telling you the truth."

Edward seemed to calm down a little bit to Dino. "Look, I can tell you are an okay guy. But Carter is my sister and I should be the one to look after her. She's my responsibility. I can look after her. Trust me she isn't getting away from me that instantly." If he though that would get me to stay he was wrong. Dino sighed and shook his head.

I heard a door open behind me. I glanced back to find Carlisle coming through. He looked down at us. "We have more company?" He asked. A pixie vampire that had been on the porch with the others glanced at him, "Yep. And I can't tell how many more will join." I looked at her questioningly. She reminded me of a pixie with her short cut hair and her small frame. She had her arms shrugged over and looked sad. The blond vampire left the side he was on and went to stand next to comfort her. They were mates. I could instantly tell.

I looked back at Dino as we heard the thudding of two vampires running towards us. Danielle and Kate must have found a way past the wolves. They appeared in seconds. Kate looked pretty with her blond hair flowing in her black laced outfit. Danielle's facial expression turned to mad once she saw the wolves. Then relief and confusion as she took in me and Edward. "Who are you?" Danielle asked Edward.

Edward and Dino were about to answer but I looked at her and said, "Danielle, this is my older pain in the ass brother Edward. Edward this is Danielle and Katie. Katie is Dino's mate." I told her.

Dino and Edward's group laughed. Edward rolled his eyes, "I'm the pain in the ass? Let's talk about who was it to give Yolanda Cummings my—" I knew exactly where he was going with this.

"Hey, it's not my fault that she knew my weakness. Besides you should be happy that she followed after her promise." I told him smiling.

He looked back at me annoyed by amused, "You gave her my underwear that she tide up at the school!" He said. Everyone started to laugh.

"You did that?" The big vampire asked me laughing. "Oh Carter! We are going to be great friends! What other stories about Eddie do you have?" He asked me with a sneaky evil look he gave my brother.

Edward was getting worked up. "Emmett how many times have I told you not to call me Eddie! And Carter you are not telling him anything or the Ely story comes into play." I glared at him.

I could tell that piked Dino's interest he was about to say something when Katie had gained my attention with her far off look. Dino and Danielle must have seen Katie too. They went blank for a second. They were checking in. I wanted to but I needed to feed before I used more strength. The dogs were starting to smell good to me.

I looked up at Edward who was looking at my friends confused. "Uh Carter what's going on with your friends?" Carlisle asked from behind. Edward turned his head to listen to my answer.

"They must be checking in." Was my simple reply, "Don't worry about it." I told them. I tried to get a sense of what might be going on but it wasn't working. As much as I tried my head started to hurt. "Edward?" He looked fully at me. "They are going to be a while and I need to feed. Is there any good wildlife around here?" I asked him.

Edward nodded his head, "Yeah, there's mostly deer though."

I nodded my head about to step out. "Wait! What is going on? Are they okay?" Carlisle's mate asked gently.

"They're fine. They are checking in. Don't worry. They don't take kindly to being moved or anything. They will be fine. You can go about your day. Just ignore them. They should be in there for longer than we will be gone. I will probably join them once I gain enough strength." I told them.

"But what are they checking into?" Bella asked me.

I sighed, "To our family. Look, I do want to talk to you guys but I'm gaining a headache from the lack of blood. I need to go." I told them. The nodded their heads. I turned to head out but felt an hand grasp my arm before letting me go.

"Hey, I'm coming with." Edward insisted. "I am not ready to just let you go off alone again." I rolled my eyes and headed away.

~*~

We hunted for a while. I had caught a bear and a few deer. We were walking back when Edward started conversation. "I've missed you." He started, "I looked for you everywhere. Came up blank every time."

"I missed you and I looked for you too." I confessed. "I searched for years and didn't come up with anything either. I figured that maybe you had joined that Spanish influenza Chicago group that is down some where in Illinois." I told him. He stopped and gave me a questioning glance.

"What Chicago group?" He asked me.

I stopped as well to look back at him, "You know… the vampire group of people that got resurrected as vampires down in Illinois?" He was confused, "I guess you don't know. Yeah there is a group of vampires from the good old days that are alive and well. I heard about it a couple of years ago. I never wanted to check cause I didn't want to run into the likes of Trevor or Garrett without you. I didn't know if you were there or not so I decided that I would wait. If you were you would tell people and they would probably come searching. You know?"

"Carter, slow down. You're saying that there are vampires down in Illinois from Chicago?" I nodded my head yes. "Why do you think Trevor or Garrett got resurrected? What about mother and father? Beth?" He asked.

I shrugged my arms, "I don't know. I mean I wanted to find out if they were okay. But at the same time, what we learned was that they are still living like it is 1918. Same clothing and everything! It sounds good but I just don't want to have to go back to that and have them think I'm the same poor little Carter." I told him.

He sighed, "Yeah well you aren't poor or little. They would have a right to be worried for the trouble you get yourself into though." I rolled my eyes at that. We started walking again. "Well, we should check it out at some point. I don't want to stay there but it would be nice to know that they are alive."

"Yeah. Well, if and when we do, I don't want to stay there either." I agreed. I paused for a second. "So tell me about your coven of vampires." I said changing the subject.

Edward looked over at me and said, "They're not just my coven. They are my family as much as you are." He told me.

I stared at him as if he was crazy. "They're family? Especially the blond psycho bitch?" Seriously hostility that comes from her indicates she is psycho.

Edward shook his head chuckling. "Rosalie isn't psycho. She had a rough life. She doesn't trust people off the bat. Her demeanor is also—"
"Hostile?" I asked. He chuckled some more and shook his head. "So I'm curious. I saw the way you looked at that Bella girl. When did you marry her?"

Edward stopped short and turned to me. "How did you—" He stopped mid sentence.

"Please. It was obvious. She is wearing mother's engagement ring. Also I know all the charms that dad gave her. That one of the heart on the bracelet, I believe was given to them on their twenty-second anniversary." I said starting to walk in front of him. "I also saw the way you looked at her. I haven't had a real chance but she seems cool."
Edward quickly caught up to me pulling me to a stop. "Carter, are you okay with me giving her the charm? I know we talked that we would discuss jewelry at some point but you weren't here. I didn't know—"

I stopped him, "It's fine Edward. It's not like you gave her everything of moms. Besides I'm sure mom was going to give you her engagement ring sometime. Trevor got Grandmother Genevieve's and Garrett got Grandmother Josephine's." I told him. "It only makes sense that you would get her engagement ring."

Edward paused for a moment. "How come I was never told this?"

I shrugged. "Mother made it known to just Lizzie and myself. Father knew as well." I told him. "Anyway, you are avoiding the question. When did you marry her?" I turned and looked at him.

Edward smiled a small smile, "Last August we got married." He told me.
That shocked me. "Seriously? What took you so long?" I asked him.

He rolled his eyes. "If you must know Miss Nosy, up until last September she was human." This time it was me to stop walking. He looked at me questioningly.

"You turned her?" I asked him accusingly. "Did she get a say in it?"

Edward looked slightly offended. "It was her decision. I didn't want her to become one because I know how this life is. I argued with her for a long time. She was insistent." I looked down. Then back at him. I gave him an apologetic smile. I knew better than to think he would change someone without their permission.

"Well, she seems to love you." I told him. He smiled. We started to walk again. He turned around all of the sudden and gave me a long waiting hug. I smiled into the hug. While I did leave and go on my own, I certainly did miss my older brother.
