Not much to put here. I'm starting school in a few days, so I might not be able to update as often as I have been. The story shouldn't be too much longer though. I don't want to draw it out and people get bored with it.

Disclaimer: Duh, I'm not Stephenie Meyer. Don't touch my original characters (Lexy, Raven, Erin, Timmy, etc.) though -glare-

Lexy POV

I was floating on my own personal cloud. These last few weeks had just been so perfect. After that ride home with Timmy, we had been spending so much more time together. He would pick me up for school, drive me home, and most of the time he would take me out to dinner or someplace special. The latest we got in one time was 5 a.m. But that didn't bother me. Timmy was just too good to be true. Out of my entire life, I couldn't quite think of something I had done to deserve this happiness. I guess you could say I was caught up in my own little world.

That's why I didn't notice what was really going on. Timmy and I had been out late again, this time hanging around in Seattle. I didn't get home till 2 a.m. As I got out of the car, Timmy did something I didn't expect. He gently caught my face and kissed my cheek before letting me go. If I could blush, I would have. Timmy gave me that goofy grin of his, and let me get out of the car. When I got up to the door, I glanced back at the street just in time to see Timmy round the corner for home. Smiling to myself I opened the door and quickly went inside, leaning back against the closed door with my eyes closed, enjoying the peace of the moment.

Then a light clicked on. I opened my eyes to the faces of Raven and Erin. Raven was sitting down on an armchair, lounging like royalty would. Erin was standing behind her to her left, beside the light. What was going on?

"Lexy, enjoy your night out?" Raven's voice was too sweet. "Getting home a bit late though. But, better late than never, I guess." I felt myself bristle slightly at her reprimand.

"Yes I did enjoy it, thank you very much. And I beg to differ. It's hardly too late to be in, since we don't have to sleep." I couldn't help but point that out.

"True, but you see, now you've delayed me. We've had to stay here all night now to wait for you to get home." This confused me. They'd never waited up for me before.

"Why? It's not like you need to wait up for me or anything." A wicked smile lit Raven's face.

"Oh, but we had a question to ask you! Now that you're home, there's no point in beating around the bush. Will you join us?" Raven's voice was back to the sickly sweet tone at the end.

"Join you? For what? We're already a coven."

"I'm sorry, we can't give you any more details until you join us. Now answer the question: Will you join us?"

"I'm sorry, but I can't join until you give me a few more details." Anger lashed across Raven's face, but she quickly smoothed it out.

"Fine then. We're leaving. Erin and I believe there is something that we must do, and your gift would be very useful." For the first time in thousands of years, I was truly afraid. There was some emotion, some underlying meaning in Raven's words that struck fear in me. I knew I didn't want to join this.

"No. I can't join this. What's really going on here, Raven?" But instead of answer me, Raven only bared her teeth and snarled. She slowly stood up and walked so that she was two feet away from me, facing me.

"Oh, I get it. Your precious little boyfriend is more important to you than we are." I opened my mouth to argue that. This had nothing to do with Timmy! But Raven cut me off. "Save it, Lexy. You were going to leave us anyway, weren't you? Make us go of on our own so you could be with Timmy and his family." Raven's face was contorted into a mask of rage as she glared at me.

"Raven, listen to me! This has nothing to do with Timmy, or his family. I hadn't even thought about going to live with them and leaving you. My decision is based purely on my instincts. There's something going on here, isn't there? Tell me!"

"You little liar! How can you stand in front of me and lie to my face?" Not a word I said had phased her, and now I was truly afraid. "Timmy's always come before us. Otherwise you would have gone to the city and hung out with us, not Timmy. I guess we're no longer sisters. Erin?"

Before I could react, Erin leapt at me and pinned me against the wall. When did Erin get so strong? I couldn't struggle from her grip. Raven put her face inches from mine, the beginning's of a snarl showing on her mouth.

"I'll give you one more chance, since you were our sister and all. Will you join us?" Raven had attempted at the sickly sweet sort of voice from before, but now she had too much anger to make her voice into what is was. She was crazy!

"I've already given you my answer, Raven. I won't be part of this ridiculous plan you're plotting. I don't even know what you're plotting and I don't want to be part of it." I grinned triumphantly as rage contorted her features. She said that my powers would help her a lot, but she would never get them. I'd make sure of that. Even if she killed me, at least she wouldn't get my powers.

"You'll regret this, Lexy. You and that hair-brained family of animal-eaters. Oh, and did I forget to tell you? Erin and I cheated. Whenever we went away for a few months on a vacation or whatever, it was to satisfy our thirst." Now the triumph was switched. Raven could see how much she had hurt me by saying this. I had always thought that she and Erin had learned to enjoy my diet. I guess I was wrong on that account.

"How could you? You've lied to me so many times then." I realized, as it hit me. "All those times you've said how it wasn't too hard to eat plants instead of drinking blood, it was all a lie. You even broke the vow you made never to taste blood again!"

"Yes, and? It was all worth it. The pure strength after draining a human is so … intoxicating. I'm a little disappointed you never tried it. Imagine your power, increased by pure human blood! The possibilities are endless!" A forlorn look overtook Raven as she thought of what I might be able to do if my powers were amplified by human blood. A grim triumph swept through me again, as I thought of how Raven would never get a chance to use that power.

"Well," Raven continued, "I suspect your little future-seeing vampire friend is on her way over to help you, along with that sorry excuse for a family. Come on Erin, we need to get out of here. But here's a little something to remember me by." Raven grabbed my face and threw me through the wall as hard as she could. The amount of force she put in it drove me all the way through that wall, the kitchen wall, and two trees in the forest, causing them to snap and fall over. It didn't hurt, but I hadn't been expecting that. I was momentarily stunned from the force of which I had hit the trees with. Those few moments gave Raven and Erin the chance they needed to escape.

"We'll cross paths again Lexy, don't worry about us. We will." Raven and Erin took off running as her laughter faded into what I would have nightmares about if I could.

All I could think about was how I had failed them. I had been responsible for them since that night I had caught them first drinking humans. I had been the one to try and teach them a more peaceful way of life and failed. I had been the one to teach them how to be closer to humans and not be overcome by thirst. I had been the one to give them free reign into the world of humans during their 'vacations.' I had even been the one to teach them how to fight more efficiently than almost every other vampire out there! Everything that they had done and would do. It was all my fault. How could I have failed them that much? Maybe the way I lived without blood really wasn't worth it, if it drove vampires to this extreme.

"Lexy!" I heard someone shout as they ran towards me. I was beyond caring, other than the hope that this new person might kill me. Maybe the gods would take pity on me and end me quickly, taking from me the life which had unknowingly taught two monsters how to become even more vicious. But fate was cruel, yet again. Timmy was here.

"Lexy, are you hurt?" Timmy's face swam in my vision, but I couldn't answer him. "Lexy please, talk to me." I only turned my face away, hoping to be left to rot in my shame.

Unfortunately for me though, Timmy picked me up, and pressed me tight to his chest. He must have just looked to see if I was hurt, since I hadn't answered. A swirl of faces surrounded me as Timmy started walking, asking me if I was okay, but I only turned my face into Timmy's shirt, hiding myself. Vaguely, I heard that they would call someone to fix the walls of the house, hoping people would just think we were out of town for a while. There was something about taking me back home to rest, but I didn't focus on it. I had no home.

Wind whistled past my face, and I realized we were running in the direction of the Cullen's house. Too distraught to fight, I let Timmy carry me inside, and lay me down on his bed. A soft hand caressed my face, and I forced my eyes to focus for a moment because of this gentle gesture. Timmy was looking at me with such concern, that I just snapped then and there.

I broke down dry sobbing, and Timmy held me close, trying to comfort me. But the only comfort I could think of would be stopping Raven and Erin. Right then, I swore to myself that no matter what, I would find a way to stop them before any more harm could be done thanks to what I had done.

"Lexy, are you okay?" I realized I had stopped dry sobbing and was sitting quietly in Timmy's embrace, starting to worry him. I looked up at Timmy, not quite sure how to answer him. Physically, I was fine. But I wanted to set things right.

"I'll be fine." I whispered. And I would be. But Raven and Erin, wherever they were, needed to prepare themselves for a visit from me first.

I'm not sure if this seems a little rushed or not, but I figure that it's better than drawing the story out to the point that people can't read it.

Wow, that chapter was longer than I thought o.o

Either way, REVIEW PLEASE.
