Chapter 3

Orion had been trained for outside within weeks; according to his first owner, Orion had been the runt of his brothers and sisters of eight, total. He was usually beaten up by the other pups and his mother ignored him usually; his father didn't really care of the boy. Carlisle came home one night with a gift for the puppy, both he and Dee came into the great hall and he handed Davina a sleek black box; inside was Orion's gold name tag, license, and a blue collar. She jumped into Carlisle's arms after the pup had the collar around his neck; he laughed and the collie barked a yap and jumped up several times before Davina let go of her father.

Esme came in with Edward and they looked at Davina as she reached down and picked up her puppy and handled him like an infant. The puppy smiled a doggie smile and Carlisle rubbed under Orion's chin. She let him down when Rosalie came down the stairs; the dog ran up to her and she led the dog back downstairs. Dee went to her knees and Orion came over to her. He cuddled onto her lap; Dee thanked Carlisle again and picked him up and carried Orion upstairs.

"Time for bed?" Carlisle asked.

"Still a baby, I think so." She smiled and walked slowly to her room.

She kept it as the futon mode, Orion stayed up close to her chest and chin where he nuzzled against her; she kept the blanket on him more than her. He whined as he dreamed about his old house; she had school the next morning; it was the first week of October already. And Carlisle was talking about trying to find a nice house in Vegas; Esme agreed and they began looking- they would go on the internet when they had the time or felt like it. They had until August next year so it didn't really matter to them.

The collie woke up throughout the night and got comfortable again, he finally decided on sleeping in her back as she lay on her stomach. She laughed when she woke up at six-thirty and groaned because she didn't want to wake up her dog. She giggled when she buried her face in her pillow; Dee's door opened and she felt a presence enter.

She heard Edward laugh, "I can't get up." She moaned into her pillow, Edward came into the room and picked up Orion. He woke slowly and licked Edward's chin and let his head fall onto his chest and fell back asleep. "Is he asleep?" Edward nodded, she sighed and got up. He set the dog down and he opened his eyes wide, but found a spot to fall back asleep.

He muttered, "He hates getting up this early."

"You can read a dog's head?"

Edward nodded, "He thinks the gold license is shinny and the collar is a little big, but comfortable. He hates the sun and loves sleeping; I think he's part cat." He teased.

"I hope not, I don't really like cats." She joked back, "I'm gonna get ready now, okay?" he shook his head. "Why not- oh yeah. We don't have school today, conferences. Yea!" she whispered and clapped her hands silently. He smiled and nodded, she turned to him. "Why are you in here then?"

"I wanted to know what was so funny," he said truthfully.

She smiled and lay back down, Orion yawned for nearly a minute and got up and nearly crawled to her and lay down in front of her stomach; she ran her fingers lightly over the top of his head and he closed his eyes and fell asleep as he began snoring. "I guess I'm going back to bed," he agreed and left.

At the door he turned back to her, but she turned to her other side and Orion hid between the back of the futon and her. She reached down and grabbed the blanket and covered him up- he sighed as he began dreaming of who-knows-what….

Orion reached adulthood after Christmas break was done with, the Final Exams were taken and graded; all six of the kids passed each class and all their teachers liked them. Anita had moved and since she was gone- Davina couldn't wait to get out of New York. Carlisle wanted to wait until the year was over; that way the older five could be in school so it made sense for the students and for the teachers. Jasper and Alice went on another honeymoon to Paris for Christmas break; they were gone for entire thing and mailed the presents back to New York at their house. Orion was as excited as Davina was when they opened the box labeled 'Orion', it was a new collar from Paris and a few clothes for him as well. Winter clothes, Alice called them- she sent his owner a few outfits too and said that Davina needed foreign clothes if she wanted to fit in with them. The Cullen's and Hale's often wore clothes and shoes from other countries, like France, Italy, even dresses from Spain- of course that was just Rose, Esme, and Alice; now Davina. Dee made Orion try on them all right away and he sat through it patiently; he growled slightly whenever she laughed at him.

Edward found out that the owner and pet could communicate when she was a wolf- and when she was in human form. He didn't know how it worked and apparently Davina didn't either because she just realized that she was listening to him talk to her one morning. She described his voice kind of like Emmett's: strong and leading. The Collie and Davina would spend hours throughout the days talking about everything; they'd just lie on the floor; usually in the living room on the white carpet. He'd have his front legs crossed slightly in front of him and his hind legs comfortably lay out behind him. Dee would have her upper body lifted above the carpet by her elbows and her legs would be bent at the knee and her feet would be in the air. Edward watched over them for nearly a hour one night, every once in a while, one of them would smile or nod or shake, his or her head and then they'd start speaking to each other in their anomalous way. Once, Orion made Davina laugh, she replayed the story saying Orion's brothers and sisters would be jealous of him.

"Why?" Emmett asked he was in the room this time; it was the day Jasper and Alice got back from their honeymoon.

She laughed before answering, Orion nodded, "Because their farmhouse was tiny and usually dirty and smelled funny." Emmett smirked at Orion when he looked at him.

He spoke before they could say anything else, "Y'know Orion." The dog whined, "we can make this place smell funny if you like."

Orion whined and got up; he went to Emmett and licked his face. Emmett coughed and pretended to spit out dog slobber. Edward and Davina laughed- Orion clapped as he jumped up steadied himself on his hind legs. He did this a few times and Davina got up.

"Come Orion, let's go outside!" he barked sharply and they ran outside and disappeared for several hours. Being outside was the wolf and dog's exercise for the day.

"She's crazy, we're dead and I'm cold." Rosalie muttered as she came in and huddled next to Emmett, Edward stood up ad went to the window.

"I'm worried, I usually hear them barking or something," he muttered quietly, but even Carlisle heard him from the kitchen.

Carlisle replied in a low voice, "I'm sure they're fine Edward. I love that you worry so easily-."

"She's a child yet Carlisle," he interrupted. Carlisle came into the room and handed Edward a drink called Vircolac- it's a Bloody Mary, but it was blood instead of tomato juice. "Aren't you worried when they're gone for hours every night-?"

"She's a lonely werewolf," Esme answered for Carlisle, her husband nodded. "We can only be there for so long, dear," Esme told him. Alice added that they're only gone four of seven nights of the week, they always come back, she added finally.

Edward frowned, he didn't like the cold feeling he was now getting. "I don't like this, Alice- see anything?"

She nodded to motion that she'd try and her eyes went misty. She was still for almost five minutes; suddenly she was gasping for air. She fell to the floor and Carlisle hurried over. "It's Stephen, the senior she hit last year. He's back-."

Just then there was whining and barking loudly and angrily and fear was mixed in. "That's Orion," Emmett said and they hurried to the door. The snow came down heavy and if Davina was in human form for too long, she'd freeze to death. "Take us Orion!" Emmett yelled through the blizzard, the dog barked and led them into the forest, deep and dark and ten below Fahrenheit. He led them to a spot where they saw human foot prints and broken branches. Rose and Alice stayed behind with Esme; the four men sprinted into the forest. There was a growling from somewhere and they followed it, but realized it was Orion. He barked sharply and they turned and found they had been going the wrong way.

He led them through the five feet deep snow and they nearly fell through a frozen over lake, Edward did fall through, but Carlisle and Jasper pulled him out easily. Orion stopped in a clearly, they saw Davina fighting two other wolves. Orion sprinted forward to help, he tackled the black one, Davina's white coat blended in with the snow, good cover for her, but it made it difficult for her father to see her clearly. She was suddenly thrown to the side and landed on a branch; she was fine but had hurt her leg. Carlisle pointed to the darker wolf, they nodded: Stephen. She turned back to human and he turned as well.

"Give up Evans!" he yelled, the snow blinded them, in their normal form; they couldn't see each other well. She could see them on the mound and when they looked behind them when she pointed, she blasted Stephen and the other wolf away.

"There's nothing-." Carlisle yelled turning back to her. She was a wolf already and had Stephen and the other wolf pinned. Orion bit into Stephen's leg and he screamed out.

"He doesn't like you Stephen," she growled.

"Go to hell Davina."

"You first Stephen," she snapped and moved back when Carlisle pulled her off him. He didn't know what they had been saying because they spoke as wolves, but they knew they exchanged words. Davina was trying to rip his throat out with her jaws. When Stephen turned back to human, Davina did too, Emmett held onto her. "Let me go! He tried to kill Orion!"

"You're on my territory; get this mutt off of me-." Orion bit his arm and he cried out, Jasper and Emmett stayed under their own control, when the scent of blood came to their noses. "You damned vampires, get this thing off of me!" he yelled, Orion stepped back when Davina told him to stand down.

Emmett went over to Stephen and picked him up and then threw him down into the snow, "we're not damned, you are as of now." He growled slightly, Davina took his hands and held him back.

Stephen got up, his legs shook. He was cold and so was Davina but they ignored it, "Yeah, keep him away from me or risk getting hurt or one of those other girls back home. Anita says she wishes she could see you again-." Davina snarled.

"Stay away from her-."

"Sorry, she's dead." Carlisle looked at Davina, "being friends with a werewolf and vampires gets people hurt-."

Davina attacked him before they even knew what was going on, they both turned into wolves and fought each other. Stephen cried out in pain when she bit into his back, he came back around and got her neck but Carlisle kicked Stephen and he flew over another mound of snow. She raced up it and ignored her father as he yelled and demanded she come back. Orion whined and lay down; Carlisle didn't like how he was acting. He and Edward hurried over the mound. The third werewolf, Stephen's friend did nothing but stay as a wolf. Davina and Stephen were in water.

"Davina, get out of the water!" Carlisle cried out when he heard the running stream and breaking ice. They were on thin ice, not in shallow water. "Get off the ice!" He and Edward yelled this time. They both looked over at them and paused to look at each other. Edward jumped and landed cat-like on the ice and ran to her and grabbed her around the waist and pulled her off the ice. She growled and tried to even bite him but he grabbed her muzzle.

"Bite me and you're so totally grounded," he promised her. She whined and licked his face quickly but he let her go anyway. Stephen growled and went to attack, but Orion came out of nowhere and got him back.

"ORION!" Davina screamed when they fell through the ice. The sound was the breaking ice, rattled bones and made the earth shake. The sound was like glass and ten times as loud; Carlisle raced to find the real dog…

But they were gone. They had disappeared like thin air and Orion only left a half eaten bowl of DOG CHOW.

Esme told the others to let Dee have time alone to cope; they rarely saw her for the rest of Christmas Break- Alice didn't even see Orion dying until he was already under water. The nightmares were the worst- Orion always drowned alive. The worst was when he floating in midair and gasping for air. The only time Emmett saw his youngest sister was when he raced into her room and tried to comfort her. She'd just fall back asleep in his arms and he'd go back to his room and try to sleep as well. Carlisle had confirmed that Anita and even her brother Mark Char had passed away in an apparent car accident.

Once the snow started to melt, Davina Evans went back to the same spot and would dive into the water to find her half-brother. Orion's body was finally found on 6th March, 2004; the body was still preserved from being in below temperature water for so long. Alice has seen Davina coming from the lake with him and told Esme in a sobbing whisper. She told Carlisle to go to her; Orion had drifted further down they he thought he would have. Davina cried silently as she held her pet in her arms, he was frozen and cold. She closed his eyes for him and Carlisle didn't even make himself known, Edward and Jasper wouldn't either. Emmett was still like the wind that night; it was late and the only other animals around were owls and bats and a few real wolves, a fox or two and a few dozen rabbits.

She carefully removed the collar, she gulped when she moved her hand away- with her free hand she removed the tears so her vision wasn't blurred. Carlisle lied to Davina about Anita, he told her she was alright and living in Alabama. This way she wouldn't have to think she lost two people in the same night. The owl came down to Carlisle and landed softly on his shoulder; Evans breathed out low and slowly as she bent over him and hugged him one last time. When she set him down slowly, she cried a little harder. Carlisle walked down to her and placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Do you want me to carry him back so we can bury him?"

She didn't respond so he asked her again, this time he got an answer. "No," she cried- he picked her up and carried her back to the other three. She felt a little cold, about two feet of snow remained on the ground and the temperature was about ten above zero. They didn't look back, she held the collar in her fist and wouldn't let go until Esme came out to meet them, she and Rosalie were waiting; Alice stayed upstairs, watching from a high point of view.

However love never dies, at least that's what Davina always told Edward. She noticed that he never really had anyone like how Esme and Carlisle or Alice and Jasper, Emmett and Rose- she told him that he wasn't destined to be alone. The Higher Powers, not God, or Super Beings, but the kind of demon that controls other's lives, decided that Orion died saving a life so they gave his back….

Carlisle and Esme had removed the bowls, food, and everything else two days after Orion had died; they only put it in the basement. They planned on replacing Orion for her in a few months when she forgot Orion enough. In a week, was Spring Break already and the Monday afternoon before the vacation started they came home to find someone waiting for them.

Davina nearly fainted and Edward laughed and stopped; Davina left the door open and sprinted to Orion who waited patiently on the doorstep. She laughed, "He wants his collar!" she cried, happy tears leaked down her face and Alice admitted she didn't see him coming back. Edward called Carlisle and Esme and they were home within minutes. Orion wouldn't leave Davina's side so they had to come to him, they sat together on the front step; Carlisle asked Alice if she saw this happening.

She shook her head, but pointed to Davina's right, she stood up. A man with a short brown beard and gray eyes stood next to them. "Cygnus?" he nodded.

He wore a white clock and gold sandals, "They decided to let him live after all, he never committed any sins and you only ran away a few times, nothing that terrible." She smiled. Davina told them that Cygnus was her Great-Grandfather on her mother's side. "Nice to meet you Mr. Cullen, you've done an excellent job. Has Dorea's eyes," he smirked at Davina's. She only had eyes for her half-brother. She wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek a few times, he lightly licked her cheek.

"Thank you, um…."

"Just Cygnus Black dear sir. My wife wanted to meet you, but she had dinner plans with The King," he teased. Davina giggled and Orion yapped happily. "You know Mr. Cullen-," Carlisle looked back at Cygnus. "The only reason they can talk with each other is because he's a different kind of dog. Not just a Border Collie but also part demon, good demon- I promise. He's actually part Collie, part human: I'll explain: his parents were one human turned werewolf and the other was a real wolf. His mother- I believe was the actual wolf. He can't turn into a human but he had tried. Also, I believe, he's smarter then your average collie- you didn't really think you trained Mr. Orion to go outside on your own did you?"

"You have a point Cygnus," Carlisle admitted.

Her grandfather continued, "He can understand everything we're saying right now. The animals that gathered when Miss.-," she looked over at him. "Evans found him… she can talk to them through him, in a way she can talk to animals. You have a very beautiful life and family Mr. Cullen-," Esme took Carlisle's hand.

"Thank you Mr. Black."

He nodded, "of course Mrs. Cullen." He nodded and turned to Orion and Davina, "Don't lose each other again; the Higher Beings won't do this again." They nodded.

"Thank you Cygnus," she whispered. He smiled and disappeared, she turned to Orion. "So part human huh?" he grunted and got up and went to Carlisle.

Emmett spoke first, to Davina and Orion, "From now on Orion, you stay closer to the house. What do you think happened to Stephen?"

Carlisle frowned and admitted, "They found his body a few days ago; we didn't want to tell you." She shrugged, "They buried him last night in a private ceremony."

"That's why you were gone?" he nodded, "Orion said that he froze to death, he just drowned." She told them, "Of course we kept it, I wouldn't throw that away Orion." She whispered kneeling down to him and taking one side of his head in her hand and putting their heads together. He licked her nose and she kissed his brow and they went inside: a complete family once more.

That summer they had a debate and Alice voiced: If we move to Florida we could get struck by hurricanes and typhoons and I don't feel like boarding up windows. Rosalie and I agree that Texas holds the most ridiculous law: if you're on someone else's property, they have legal right to shoot you and most Texans have guns; only Davina and Orion can be shot and die. We have a dog, Orion has longer hair and besides, FL, TX and Nevada have high temperatures; he could have heat stroke or something. We already agreed and we don't mind Earthquakes; besides I'll be able to see it before it happens so we can be ready for it before anyone else.

Carlisle considered this for about two months into the summer break, in early August the weather in New York that year was sweltering and Davina was usually near some water source. Carlisle agreed finally with his daughter- Esme and Carlisle started looking for a house in Los Angeles. He gave the hospital a two week notice and on Orion's adoption birthday-day they moved to Los Angeles California. Davina was officially a legal witch and could properly learn magic without being found- with her dog they would disappear almost all day and she would practice magic. Every month on the full moon, Davina was gone all night and nearly falling asleep during the day; she said that the wolf took over on full moon nights- she still had some control, she kept the wolf from attacking people and other animals.

In Los Angeles, they found a light gray house with ten bedrooms and it was bigger then the New York one- Carlisle told the kids that the price didn't matter to them because, the city of New York was paying for it and the move and got him a job at the highest ranked hospital in Los Angeles, California. They'd go to a good high school and enjoy it or else. They laughed when he told them this and promised; Davina had already gotten her license, Carlisle got her a dark blue KIA Spectra for a car. The garage was full of cars, one for each person in the house.

Emmett looked down at Davina, "What?"

To him, she looked sad. "I never thought we were this… wealthy, is all." She admitted, "I just thought that dad liked thinking he was." She told him, Emmett laughed.

"Carlisle is one of the best doctors in the world, of course he gets a better salary then most PhD's." he told her laughing. She grinned and followed Orion back into the house; she acted as dog on the plane so she could ride down below with him with the other dogs and luggage. She learned that a passenger was a drug dealer going on vacation and told a security guard. He was busted easily; another, a woman was taking her Yorkie to LA to be put in a commercial. Two cats were getting a ride to LA to live with a single mother of three kids; they brought good luck.

Carlisle got them into a good school, just like he promised he would; the campus was college material and now Davina was in her junior year with Alice, Jasper, and Edward. Emmett and Rose were to repeat their senior year again. Edward let Davina drive to school on their first day; he hated that she drove the speed limit and whenever he complained she said that she obeyed laws. He grumbled something about her being a child and she'd nod.

"US law states- I'm not an adult until eighteen!" she said happily ignoring the fact that Wizard law says that she is already an adult. "So legally, yes, I am a child Mr. 87." She snapped happily, he finally smiled and stayed quiet. "Look at those," she muttered nodding over to a group of cars in their own spots it seemed. They were shinny, new-looking, and small(ish). In front of one was a girl and a boy talking, the girl was holding a cigarette in her hand and handed it to the boy.

"Shut up Nickolas!" she snapped. She was pretty with blond hair and black mixed in; her skin was porcelain like Alice's. She was taller then Alice though, maybe Davina's height; she wore black pants and a gray sweater tank top with a turtle neck. It was about eighty outside today and getting warmer still, it was supposed to reach at least ninety-five. The clouds were distant and none were going to form anytime soon.

"I miss Orion; can we skip today and start… never?" Davina asked when she stopped the car in their new spots. Edward shook his head, "But why?" she whined.

He stared at her, "Since when do you whine… at me?" she looked away and sat back and sighed deeply, "Look, this is important to our parents; you- Davina are a human werewolf who has a human-wolf dog for a pet. You need to get out a little more and live your life."

She looked at him, "But I don't mind Orion's company and I love him Edward- he's my pet and I should be there for him, not here. What if someone learns about him and wants to experiment or something?"

He chuckled and promised that he wouldn't let that happen. She smiled and reached over and hugged him, they let go of each other and she got out on her side and he, on his side. Emmett got out from his car and Alice followed suit and hurried over to Dee, "Ready Miss. Junior?"

Edward answered for Dee, "She misses Orion?"

"Well, that obvious, he dies, comes back, and now she has to go eight hours without seeing him. Look Davina," she said taking Dee aside away from Emmett and Edward. "If anything does happen to Orion," she tapped her temple. "I'll see it," she said and Davina nodded and followed her group inside. The blond and black haired girl and boy, Nickolas, watched with dropped jaws.

Emmett took Rosalie's bag for her and Jasper grabbed Alice's; Edward made no motion to take Davina's. They went to the main office and got schedules from a bewildered woman and stared after them as they left, Jasper handed out the schedules and they compared them right away.

Edward frowned and purloined Davina's from her, "Why does this name look familiar?" Alice whispered looking up at Edward, he frowned and growled.

"Because it is."

"What is it?"

"Edward we should have Carlisle switch us, we'll end up hurting someone."

"Why? What's going on?"

"Rose, Emmett stay together, Jasper and I will go and look around and see how many there are. Alice, stay with-."

"But, why?" Davina finally snapped a little louder then she anticipated. Edward glanced down at her, but said nothing.

"Nothing," all five voiced.

She growled at them all and took her schedule and went to find her first hour. Edward called after her, but she ignored him. Davina Evans only carried her cell phone in her pocket, a notebook and a pen and pencil with a WHITE-OUT pen in the bindings. She made mistakes, no secret for her.

She blended in with these students, she knew that right away: most wore dark clothing and black shoes as if going to their own wedding (well the men wore the black shoes) although they weren't the shiny leather, they were just black material, comfortable and sturdy for a long time. She wore her black Sketchers and a silver shirt and dark green pants, they looked black from a distance.

Dee asked a teacher for room: 143 and she directed her with a smile and welcomed her back to school. Dee turned back and waved with her own brilliant smile. Alice came up from behind her but they had different first hours so they had to split up again quickly. Turned out that Dee's room was only down the hall from the teacher she asked; it was Civics and in the room there were a few students already. She heard the names Andy and Devin, she recognized Nickolas from the parking lot. She also heard the name Jacob.

"Yes, hello Miss. Evans, new to LA?" she nodded and grinned. "How's good your eyesight?" he asked.

She was taken aback, "Um, great I guess."

"Scale of one to ten, ten being the best?" he was a average size man with a balding scalp and gray eyes. He didn't have a handsome face, he was ugly either; he just had the kind of face, that you couldn't never get tired of looking at. Davina noticed that a lot of teachers were the same way.

"Nine point five, my brother's is best." She said, she usually threw her one of her siblings into each conversation.

He chuckled, "well that's good for you, do you mind the back?" she shook her head. "Thank God," he cried in a small voice, he seemed really pleased.

Alice hurried into the room, "We have different classes." Dee told her.

"I know, just wanted to make sure you're doing alright."

"I just got here and found that the teacher likes students with good eyesight and I sit in the back corner. Okay you can go," she urged. "Please Alice?" the teacher was impressed as watched Alice leave and turned back as Davina was sitting down in her chair, she smirked at herself and said nothing else to anyone for awhile.

She heard her name and Alice's name a couple times from a jock-boy named Daryl Darnell, but other then that it was silent as the teacher had the 'great pleasure' of saying the classroom rules and the school rules. He went through the entire book, he asked Davina if she could read the title from where she was and she said it perfectly. He was pleased and left her alone, Andy sat next to her and Devin was a few spots up, behind Daryl.

"Welcome to LA High," he whispered.

"Thanks," she whispered back.

He added, "Don't worry about him; he used to be a judge; that's why he going through the rules, to him they're like laws." He explained.

"My father's the same way about doctor shows, we make him leave the room when he gets into the instruments and everything," she smirked. They rarely watched television but when they did ER was usually on. "Good thing we don't have a TV anymore," she whispered. He stared at her and she turned to him.

"You don't-."

"Mr. Bachman? Is there something you'd like to say?" he only stopped them, because they got too loud. Well at least Andy had gotten too loud. Andy shook his head 'no' and the Law Man continued onto page ten of thirty. Davina drew with her mechanical pencil in her notebook and drew Orion asleep; she had this image glued into her head and memory. Orion said he loved it when she drew him; it made him feel even more human. She began shading when the bell rang; she pushed the lead into the pencil all the way so none of it broke off later and followed Nickolas from the room. The page of Orion, she forgot to close and Andy slipped it from her. She frowned then smirked then she saw it was him.

He didn't believe how real it looked, "I love this." He muttered he showed Devin Grace.

"Cool, wow that's amazing work Davina."

"You can call me Dee, and thank you Devin." She said.

Nickolas had been waiting for someone, "Hi Nickolas," Devin smiled at him. He nodded, "hello Chris, Arubey." She smiled at them at they came out from the classroom.

"How was your summer Devin?"

She laughed, "I dumped Topher and he moved away." She smiled.

"Great! He was a bastard anyway," Chris told her. She nodded and they walked off together.

Andy was next, "Have any squares Nickolas?" Andy whispered moving closer. Nickolas nodded and they passed cigarettes secretly, Davina rolled her eyes.

Arubey glanced at Davina but she turned when Edward came from a class across the hall he paused and called Dee over to him. He put his hand on the nape of her neck and walked her away. "Stay away from Arubey, Nick, and Chris. I've already heard bad things about them, got it?"

"Why? What have- I wasn't even talking to them." She interrupted her self.

He nodded, "Good keep it that way-."

"DEE!" Devin came running down and stopped, they turned and Davina realized why she called her back. "You- I forgot I even had this, here." She said and handed Dee her notebook back.

She smiled at Devin, "Oh, er, thanks Devin. Thanks a lot," she said and Devin turned and left.

"Friend?"

"No, not really, we were just talking. I'm still mad at you," she snapped. He frowned and made his grip a little weaker. "Thanks," she muttered. He nodded.

"Cullen!" they stopped and turned to see Nickolas, Chris, and Arubey coming after them.

"Stay away from us Karew we don't want trouble-."

"No worries," Chris said smiling at Davina. She frowned and glared at Edward when he pushed her behind him. Nickolas smirked at Arubey, but he kept his expression the same: plain and bored almost. He seemed to be thinking really hard too. he glanced and nodded at the wolf, "She's a human, just protecting the closest one or is she different?" he meant it like how Jasper and Alice were- played brother and sister but were actually in love and even married.

Edward shook his head, "No, not like that Christopher. Just overly protective."

"Edward let's go," she whispered. People were watching.

However, Edward didn't even make a motion to show that he heard her because he asked, "How long have you been here Arubey?" Arubey's voice was rough like Edwards, it was sweet and sentimental.

He spoke as he watched Davina's face carefully; he'd glance at Edward but kept most of his attention of Davina. She finally looked back at him and let go of Edward's shirt and lowered her free hand. He wore nothing but black, "We got here a year ago or so. We were in Main for awhile but we all hated it so we came here. You?" he asked looking at Edward then back to Davina.

"Just moved to town, New York was getting old for us-."

"Will you please tell me how you know them," Davina asked Edward.

He looked down at her finally, "Later," he glanced back at her as he looked back at the other three.

"We used to hunt together, if you know what I mean..." Arubey told her, she frowned and looked at Edward. He looked ready to attack and kill.

"Arubey-."

"Fine, fine, I'm sorry." he didn't sound like he was. "We'll talk later Cullen." He said and walked past them with the other two behind him, Davina turned to look at Arubey just as he looked back at her. They looked away quickly and she looked at her brother.

"Edward?" she whispered, he said nothing as he went a different way. He never talked about his past, even to Carlisle or Esme. Now it was coming back to bit him in the neck; him and the others apparently as well. Davina said nothing to the other vampires; she'd nod or look at them but she kept her distance.

Arubey needed to keep his too, but it was hard and he cracked at Lunch while her brothers and sisters had a different lunch hour and she was alone….

Hey, I'm getting a lot of hits already and thank you so much for that, I love that you all like this one.
As you might be able to tell, I've also added in Arubey and the gang- it's for me to write a story and not have them. Oh, and the character of the Cullens and Hales are owned by their creator. The characters of Arubey and his gang are owned by Amelia, their creator. Harry of course and his gang are owned by Rowling. I own Dee and Orion. Cygnus is another of Rowling's.

Thanks again for reading
