I would like to thank everyone who is still reading this series. And special thanks to the reviews saying you liked my story. I'm happy to have come this far. Shakilove when I wrote about the snowballs I just had to get one that day. I never had the cake snowball before.

It was late at night when I woke up sweating, but cold. I stretched out on the bed still drowsy. A hand caresses my face. It was freezing, but I grew used to it. I turn over in my bed to see Edward, "What are you still doing here?" he moved the hair from my face as I stared at him.

He shrugged his shoulders. "I was just thinking." He looked calm so I didn't worry about it. "I guess I got carried away." He nodded his head to the clock.

The alarm clock on my nightstand showed that it's one in the morning. Thankfully there was no school tomorrow. I sat up in the bed and lean over him, "You're lucky that I have nowhere to be." I kissed him on the corner of his lips.

"What did you dream about? You tossing around on the bed." he asks me with concern expressing his voice.

I tilted my head blocking him from my thoughts. Lately my other side has been trying to come out. She was like the cursed version of me. When an Eternal turned evil they go to their cursed selves. They were darker and cruel. The only time I turned to her was when I was sleep and she decided to look for Edward. Now that we were together I had the urge to bond with Edward, but I refused. It's why she's trying to get out. She wanted me to mate with Edward and my dreams were affected by it.

"Menah?" he lifted my face to look at him, "What is it?" Seeing the worried look in his eyes made me come to a decision.

"Nothing, well," I first say, "Tomorrow I'll tell everyone what I am. It's time that I told you everything." Now I was certain that I wanted them to know.

Edward gave me a genuine smile. That smile reminded me of the first time he smiled at me. I thought I was going to fall from the weakness in my knees. "Good, its quiet frustrating having everyone think about it on a daily bases."

"Good, now I can go back to sleep." I move from Edward and turn around to face the wall.

However, Edward just ignored what I had said. "However, I don't think that dream was nothing." He whispered in my ear, "I can smell it, Menah, the want…" the huskiness of his voice made me snap my eyes open.

My breathing hitched as he bit down softly on my neck. His left hand clutched my waist. I was startled. Edward wasn't being himself. He moved his hand up, "What are you doing?" He didn't say anything, but touch me. It was cold, but I felt heat, a spark that made me tick. My mind went hazy with want. In a swift movement I had pinned him under me. He was laid out under me with his hands by his sides. I laid my body down putting pressure on him and breathed in his scent. He sucked in unneeded air. "Don't move," I ordered him. My voice was more silvery and soft, demanding. "Do you remember when you made me that song?" he nodded, "And what happened after that? I didn't know I could ever feel that."

There was so much I wanted to do with Edward, but now wasn't the time. I didn't want to risk myself changing. So I lie down on Edward and put my head on his chest. "I think I'll sleep here."

The look on his face made me want to outright laugh. Well it's his fault. I gave him a peek on the lips. "Soon, we'll be married and on our honeymoon." He said stroking my hair. "I'll protect you, Menah."

It was past nine in the morning when I woke up and decided to get ready to head over to Edward's. He left before I could wake up again. Good, I didn't feel like lecturing him right now. I took a quick shower, threw on a dress with leggings and ankle boots. I let my hair stay out because I was anxious about how they were going to react to this.

Downstairs Charlie was drinking coffee and Bella was eating cereal. "Good morning," I told them grabbing a bowl out of the cabinet and fixing me some Cinnamon Toast in a bowl.

"Morning Pumpkin," Charlie said while Bella nodded still eating her food. "Got any plans for today?"

"Just going over to Edward's house." I said sitting at the table and started on my cereal.

He nodded and started putting on his coat. "Be careful out there. Things are getting chaotic."

"Of course." He got up from the and left for work. "Are you hanging out with Jacob today?" I asked Bella.

"Yeah we're just going to hang around his garage like usual." She said as a car horn was heard outside.

"That's my ride. Have fun, but not too much fun. That's when accidents happen." I put my bowl in the sink and hurried out the house with my bag that carried my book, mentally preparing myself for when I was going to tell the Cullen's.

Edward led me into the living room where Carlisle, Jasper, and Emmett were sitting. They're watching the news about the killings in Seattle.

"It's getting worse." Carlisle said turning off the TV.

"It takes more than one of our kind to cause the damage they're reporting." Jasper said looking over to us.

Edward spoke up, "It's newborns."

"Newborns? That's after you change into a vampire?" I asked anyone.

"They're uncontrollable, vicious, insane with thirst." There was something hidden in Jasper's eyes. He never did tell me what happened in his old life.

Emmett had to comment, "Something to look forward to."

"Someone's creating an army." Carlisle said making me know what's going on.

"It's Victoria." I said getting their attention, "There is no one else who would want to get rid of us. All of you are the closest here, right? This is her doing."

"I'm surprised the Volturi let it go on for this long. They're supposed to stop situations like this." Carlisle had a point. Why would they let this happen?

"Maybe they're behind it. In Italy, I read Aro's mind... He wants me and Alice to join him... He knows we'd never choose him as long as our family is still alive." Edward grabbed my hand when he spoke.

Jasper came to realization, "An army can solve that for him."

"That's why he's not stopping them. The bastard." I shook my head angry, "Where's everyone else? I need to talk to everyone discuss something." We all heard a noise in the next room. It must have been the others.

Edward squeezed my hand, "You ready?"

"As I'll ever be." My voice was not giving away my hesitation. We walked into the other part of the room where Alice, Rosalie, and Esme was sitting with their mates joining them.

"I saw that you needed us here," Alice said sitting next to Jasper.

Carlisle nodded at me encouragingly when I looked at him. He was the only one that knew of what I was. Edward and I sat in a loveseat facing them. I didn't even know where to start or what to tell them. My bag was on the floor between us so I picked it up and took out my book. "This book explains most of what I am, where I came from, and what I can do. My kind, we were all called Eternals. I am like a magical creature of nature. My abilities include the four elements of water, air, fire, and earth." With each one I said I held up my hand and produced a ball or water, a small wind, a spark of fire, and for earth a leaf grew from the palm of my hand.

It took me sometime to master it, but I finally got control over using them. "Certain ones had different abilities other than elements which everyone had. Being a part of nature we can blend with other animals, like breathe underwater and grow fines, which I have not done… yet. Others could fly with wings. There are just a lot of things we can do."

Emmett raised his hand so I decide to humor him, "Yes Mr. Cullen."

"Edward bit you and you didn't turn into one of us. How are you going to live?"

"Oh, um, when Edward and I complete our bond…" I say hoping he was done questioning me. "When we bond with our mate our bodies grows accustomed to them. However, I just noticed that the only reason that I'm as strong as you is because of Edward. I can now read his mind too, but only his."

Jasper then spoke up, "And what about the people after you? Where are they?"

"They are the cursed ones. They're the ones who either lost their mates, failed the test into becoming an Eternal, or they just gave into the darkness." Just the thought made me shudder. "I killed the woman a while ago. But her companion is still alive along with the ones that killed my parents. He's kept himself hidden, I have no clue as to where."

"Why does he want to kill you?" Rosalie said. I didn't expect her to join in, but only listen.

"Um," I looked down into my lap admiring my engagement ring, "Carlisle was actually the only person to know about this. I made him promise not to tell anyone." I could tell they were surprised. "When we went back to my house at the waterfall and got the chest I knew it was much more." My hand reached up and touched the tattooed necklace. "My people believed in having a ruler, but not just by blood, but of a true heart. However, I am the last of my kind… My father always called me princess, but it was a double meaning."

"Wait, you're a princess." Emmett butted in.

"No," Alice shook her head, "She's a Queen."

Everyone's eyes now burned into me. "I have the power to make my people. I have the power to tell who is worthy of carrying this gift that I have. I will no longer be cursed or be a dying breed. And if he ever did kill me he can take the necklace and do whatever he wants."

Esme got up from her spot and came over, squeezing my hands in hers, "Aw, Menah, all of this on your shoulders. No one should have to go through so much."

When Esme said those words, it hit me. All of the stress and knowledge was too much. My shoulders started to shake and I began to cry. She pulled me into her arms. "I didn't mean to drag anyone into this."

"We are family. We will protect you no matter what." Carlisle said.

"Thank you." I leaned my head on Edward's shoulder and he pulled me into his side.

After I calmed down I had answered some more questions that had. I told them about healing plants and how much energy that it can take. Emmett and Jasper laughed when I said that I can cast spells and make potions. I couldn't live that one down.

We were all about to leave and go back to a 'normal' when Jasper stopped me, "Wait… there was that time when you came here in the woods." That was the main subject I was avoiding. "I lied about what happened."

"I know." He raised his eyebrows at that. "After you mentioned it, I remembered."

Everyone else was confused. He must have told them the same thing. He told them what actually happened while he stared at me. "What is he talking about, Menah?" Edward's voice seemed calm, but I could detect something else. I just didn't know what it was.

"That was the other side of me. She's the cursed side. If I was to fail in being with Edward I would be stuck in my mind as she take over my body." I say standing next to my seat.

"But she was looking for Edward why would she," Jasper said it as if it was a foreign word, "Do that knowing that you would stay if you succeed?"

Looking at them seemed different now. I turned to look out the window, "Even a damned soul could feel the pain that put on others. My other side knows that if I failed that she would be the one in pain for the rest of her life. That's why he wasn't the necklace, so that he could stop the pain that he placed on himself."
