Today was a sunny day which means I couldn't come out unless I wanted to expose what I am. So sadly I'm staying home. I texted Bella that I was sick and wouldn't go to school. Kind Bella said that she'll come and keep me company but I told her she didn't have too. It was a small flue that will pass soon and I'll be ready to go to school in no time. Obviously being Bella she didn't let it go, eventually, I got her to go to school without me.

This morning I really didn't do anything, I stayed home and watched movies all morning all. I cleaned before watching movies. I watched Netflix all day long and I was getting bored. Around lunchtime Bella texted me saying that she and the girls were going dress shopping, she wanted to know if I was well enough to go with them. Since it was still sunny outside I couldn't go. And once again I had to lie to her. She also told me the real reason why she was going with them. There was the book she needed about the Quileutes and it was near the shop they were going too. I told her to be careful and to take the girls with them, she shouldn't go alone in a place where she doesn't know. She agreed but I had a feeling she wasn't.

The sun was going down and I thought why not and explore the woods for a while. So that's what I did, I went out and walked through the woods. Since I'm not technically human, I can walk for a long time without having to stop to rest. I didn't know how long I was walking and I didn't care. I was enjoying myself. However, I couldn't help but think about my husband. Lately, I been thinking about him more and more and I don't know why. It's been some hundred years since he died and yet I am thinking about him every day, I wonder why.

Lost in my thoughts, I didn't hear someone coming from behind me until it was too late. I heard a stick break in half, I turned around quickly and saw three people I really didn't want to see. There were three vampires who I didn't know staring at me, two men and one woman. Unlike the Cullen's, they all had the same deep, sinister ruby eyes, and absolutely lethal. The African American vampire was on the left of others, he was probably around his late 20's. The man in the middle had blonde hair, he probably was younger than the other man. The women she had some beautiful red hair that screamed chaotically! The blonde man and the women were mates, you could feel it. They were staring at me confused.

"Are you lost little one?" The African America man asked me.

"This place is taken. I suggest you leave now" I told them. I wasn't afraid of them, I could easily take them. The blonde hair man smiled at me, however, his smile was creepy.

"Is that so?" He said.

"Yes, it's best if you leave. There's another coven here and I don't know how they'll react to you guys trespassing on their property. So leave before you cause problems" I tell them.

"Why thank you for the warning love," he said.

"Well, if you excuse me I must leave. Once again, leave or else" I said before turning around and ran away.

I didn't know where I was going, this part of the woods I wasn't familiar with and I had a feeling I didn't want to know. The sun went down and I still haven't found my way home. I sighed and stopped, closing my eyes I took a big breath, I had to calm down. Reopening my eyes I come across another group of vampires that I didn't want to see. Jasper, Emmett, and Dr. Carlisle were standing there staring at me weirdly. No one said anything, it was super quiet and awkward. Dr. Carlisle stared at me curiously, Emmett smirking, and Jasper staring at me with his eyes narrowed, in a suspicious way. Feeling uncomfortable I decided to speak.

"Mm, well hello there," I said waving my hand awkwardly.

Once again no one said anything we were just staring at one another. Finally, Dr. Carlisle stepped forward causing me to step back and be on guard. Seeing me getting stiff, he stopped and smiled at me.

"Are you lost?" Dr. Carlisle said. Weirdly I felt no bad vibe coming from him so I relax a bit. Seeing me relax his smile grew.

"Mm, no I was walking through the woods and well" I looked around.
"I guess I kinda got lost," I said rubbing the back of my neck.

"You came walking without any water?" Emmett said.

"Do you have any water on you?" I asked and he smiled.

"Here come with us and I'll have one of my children take you home. You shouldn't be out in the dark you don't know the danger of it" Dr. Carlisle said extending his hand out.

"Creatures of the night," I said smirking.

"Exactly," he said.

I stared at his hand and went over my options. If I didn't take his hand and leave right now, there's a chance they'll follow me and they'll get suspicious. And if I take his hand and go with them, I don't know what will happen. Repeating it over and over, finally, I sighed and walks towards him but I didn't take his hand.

"Where to, Dr?" I asked.

He smiled and moved his hand forward. The walk wasn't far, about 10 minutes but it was so damn awkward and tensed. The entire walk to his place I felt their eyes watching my every move. I didn't know if I should feel offended or proud. Offended because they were scared of me or proud because they were scared of me, either way, I didn't know how to feel about it. We came to a stop in front of a beautiful modern glass house.

"Please come in," Dr. Carlisle said.

I nodded and followed him inside, Jasper and Emmett were behind us. Walking inside, the others were in the living room, sitting around. However, something was telling me that they were waiting for us. Jasper, Emmett, and Dr. Carlisle went with the family on the other side while I stayed behind. A lady with caramel hair, golden eyes, and a heart-shaped face came towards me. Immediately I went back and prepared myself to run. I didn't trust them. She frowned and went back to Carlisle. They all stared at me curiously, worried, and confused. I looked around and I notice one was missing.

"Where's Edward?" I asked frowning. They all looked down, avoiding my stare and I knew what that meant. He was stalking Bella, with a furious sigh I grabbed my neck.

"Bella" was all I said. Dr. Carlisle nod and looked down. Honestly, I couldn't be mad at them but at Edward. What the hell is he thinking?

"I swear that boy is so troublesome," I said making them all frown. Once again, no one said anything we all just stared. I was seriously getting over all of this.

"I assume you're Mrs. Cullen?" I said looking at the women next to Carlisle and she smiled.

"Yes, I'm Esme Cullen. Their mother" she said smiling.

"Mother" I whispered.

Sadly, I couldn't remember my own mother, however, I did remember my brother. Well, it's faint but still there. How could I not remember my own mother yet I could remember my brother? Someone cleared their throat, I looked up and Esme was staring at me worried. I smiled at her to reassure her I was okay.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, madame. However, I must be heading home it's getting dark outside. And just like your husband said, it's dangerous out" I tell her. She nods and they all turn to him. I assume since they're all staring at Dr. Carlisle he was the head of the coven.

"Yes, Jasper can-" he got cut off. His cell phone rang. He frowns but answered it. After a few seconds on the phone, he sighs and hangs up.

"Another one," he said. His family all stiff and I frown.

"Another one?" I asked confused. Dr. Carlisle looks at me and frowns.

"Another animal attack," he said and I raised my eyebrow.

"Like the one down in Mason county?" I asked shocking them.

"How did you know about that?" Jasper asked.

"It's getting closer to town," I said ignoring Jasper.

I started out the window and thought about the three vampires I came across earlier. Could it be possible they were involved? And if they were involved, are the people of Forks protected? If more vampires come, does that mean they'll be awakened?

"I wonder" I whispered staring at the window.

"Wonder what?" Jasper asked stepping closer. I turn to him and rolled my eyes. He's so annoying.

"You were right," I said looking at Dr. Carlisle. He looks at me confused.

"It's dangerous in the night. You may never know what kind of monster lurks in the night" I said. Everyone stiffens and frowns, obviously affected by my comment.

"Since you're heading out will do you me a favor and take me home, Dr. Carlisle?" I asked staring into his eyes.

"Of course, you ready?" He said.

"After you sir" He looks to his wife and gave her a kiss on her cheek, I looked away. I remembered the way he kissed my cheek. I remembered the way it felt to be happy. I didn't want to remember him here I looked up and saw Jasper staring at me strangely.

"Let's go" Dr. Carlisle said.

"It was a pleasure meeting you, Mrs. Cullen," I told her smiling.

"Likewise. Hope you see you again" she said making my smile fall.

Without saying anything I nod and left with Dr. Carlisle. He opened the door for me and closed it. I looked out the window and saw Jasper standing out the front. Dr. Carlisle turned on his car and we drove away, I watched Jasper getting smaller and smaller. I told Dr. Carlisle where I lived and apparently, we weren't that far apart. The car ride wasn't awkward like I expected it to be. It was a good silent, it was peaceful.

Once we got to my house, I thanked Dr. Carlisle and went inside. Once I was home I couldn't help but think about the three new vampires. I had a bad feeling about them, they were going to cause problems that wouldn't end well.

In the middle of the night, I received a phone call from Bella. She was hysterical, saying something about vampires, cold, no sun and some other things.

"Hold the hell up. Who's a vampire?" I asked

"Edward and his family," Bella said. And at that moment all I wanted to do was beat the hell out of him. God, how can he be so damn stupid?

"What makes you so sure?" I asked her.

She went on explaining her theories, she told me about what happened today, her almost accident with the boys, what Edward told her. I have never been so angry in my life. How could he do that!? Doesn't he know what will happen if she gets involved?

"Okay, so what now?" I asked Bella. I really wanted to hear her plan and hopefully stop her.

"I'm going to confront him about it," she said

"Bella, are you even listening to yourself? Didn't you just say he's a vampire? A vampire! As in the creatures of the night. They kill people, Bella. They kill them by drinking their blood" I tried to reason with her.

"He won't hurt me" she replied.

"You don't know that. You don't even know him, Bella. You don't know what kind of vampire he is. Maybe this is all his plan to lure you in"

"Athanasia! How could you say that"

"I'm being realistic, Bella"

"You don't know them"

"I don't have too. You said they're vampires, for crying out loud. VAMPIRES! ... Damn it Isabella" I sighed. The line went silent. I heard her sniffing, great I made her cry.

"Just be careful okay," I said

"Okay. You know I'm going to sleep. Goodnight see you tomorrow"

"Yeah, goodnight," I said before clicking.

I was so damn angry, how could he freakin tell her that? Doesn't he know its so damn dangerous? I shouldn't be talking, I fell in love with a human and we turned out alright. Man, I just don't know what to do! I don't want her to be one of us then again, Bella and Edward wouldn't work out and maybe she'll stay with me? This is so selfish of me, but it would be nice to have company. I have been lonely for the longest, maybe her knowing about Edward I could tell her about me? I'll see how this plays out and if it goes well then I'll tell her.

Next day at school;

I drove past the Cullens who were standing by their cars, looking all cool. Bella and I come together since she was going to face Edward after school. I parked in my usual parking spot, we came out and leaned on my car. I crossed my arms and we both stared at the Cullens, who were already staring at us.

"So, we still going with your plan?" I asked her staring at them.

"Yup," she said and I sigh.

"Great," I said. Bella turns to me and looks at me.

"Nothing," I said. Bella looks at me an frowns.

"You feeling better?" Bella puts her hand on my forehead

"Still cold," she said smiling.

"Yup, still cold," I said bitterly

"Hey, you okay?" she frowns.

"Yeah," I said. She doesn't reply and I turn to look at the Cullens. Edward and I made eye contact, I allowed him to enter my mind for a little.

'You hurt her, I swear I'll kill you and anyone who gets in my way' I thought.

Edward gasped, his family stare at him and then at me. I gave them my best cold stare.

'I mean it, Edward' He looks at me, then at Bella and at me again, he nods.

"Go,"I tell Bella.

She turns to me, then starts to walk to the forest. We all watch her disappear into the trees, then Edward takes a step forward. Jasper moves in front of him, Rosalie grabs his arm.

"Edward, don't go," Rosalie said. Alice gently removes Rosalie's hands from his arm. Edward then processes to follow Bella into the dark forest. before he disappears he turns to me.

'I won't harm her' he whispered and so he disappears.

After a few seconds of us standing there, I start to walk. I stopped briefly in front of the other Cullens. Without staring at them,

"He hurts her and he's done" I continue to walk into the school without worrying this time. I have warned them already, it's up to them if they want to take it or leave it. But the better no is surprised once I come after them if he hurts her.

Lunchtime

I sat with the gang and honestly it felt weird without having Bella here. She's the only one besides Angela I talk too. Angela is busy with some school activity that she isn't here, so it leaves Jessica, Mike, Tyler, Eric, and a friend of Jessica. I decided to read a book and have my earphones on so they wouldn't bother me. I felt someone poking shoulder, with a sigh I looked up.

"Hey, where's Bella?" Mike ask.

"She's not here" Mike rolls his eyes.

"I know, but wasn't she with you in the morning?" he asked.

"And?" I said with a raised eyebrow,

"What you mean, and?"

"Why so worried about her? She's doing okay, she felt sick so I told her to head home" I said looking down.

"So you need a ride home?" Eric asked,

I don't know what's up with me today but I wasn't feeling like myself. I was moody all day, feeling so damn irritated.

"No thank you, Eric. I have my car" I said closing my eyes,

"Hey, you alright?" Jessica asked,

"Yes," I said a little too loud.

I opened my eyes and stared at my friends. Jessica looked offended, Mike, Tyler, and Eric looked at me worried.

"I'm sorry, Jess. No, I don't feel good. I'm sorry, it's just..."

And then it hit me why I was feeling like this. There is a certain vampire who can control someone emotions. I looked up at Jasper, who was smirking.

Jasper POV;

Today I was playing around with Athanasia's emotion. I mean she did just threated my family and no ones get away with it. During lunchtime, I was making her feel irritated.

"I don't think you should do this" Alice said. I turn to her and she was frowning.

"It's going to be alright," I said turning back to Athanasia.

"Hey, you alright?" Jessica asked Athanasia.

"Yes," Athanasia said loudly.

This caused everyone to look at her. Jessica looks offended, the boys are looking at her worried. Athanasia opens her eyes and you could see she feels bad about screaming at Jessica.

"I'm sorry, Jess. No, I don't feel good. I'm sorry, it's just-" she stops. She had this blank face and when she comes back to normal. She turns to me and you could tell she was beyond angry.

"Jasper" she whispered.

I smirked but then I stopped. This time I felt her real emotions, not the one she usually puts out. She felt really hurt, confused, angry, and sad, really sad. Her ocean blue eyes started to get watery, a lone tear fell, she quickly wipes it away. She stood up and gathered her things. She came passing out table and I saw her wiping another tear away. Seeing her cry made me feel terrible.

"Told you," Alice said.

I didn't pay attention to her, I continue to watch Athanasia leave. The bell rang, telling us to go to class. I was planning on apologizing to Athanasia in biology class but she didn't show up. Then I thought since she didn't say up to this class I'll talk to her after school. School ended and we walked over to our cars. I was expecting her car to be there but it was the opposite, it wasn't there.

"She didn't go to Spanish class either," Emmett said

I turn to him and I knew who he was talking about, Athanasia. I sighed since she isn't here then I'll talk to her tomorrow.

The next day, she didn't show up. Bella came with Edward and those two weren't in class. So I had no way of knowing anything about Athanasia. During lunch I paid attention to Athanasia's table, maybe they'll be talking about her and why she didn't come to class. But no luck, they weren' talking about her nor Bella.

The following day, it was the same no Athanasia. And it was the same with her friends, they weren't talking about her. It was like she didn't matter to them and that got me angry. How can they be her friends and they didn't even ask if she was okay.

It was Friday and the same thing, Athanasia hasn't shown up. I was beginning to get worried. What if she left? And it was all my fault.

"She hasn't left," Alice said holding my hand.

"What if she did?" I asked.

"So what?" Rosalie said making me growl.

"Weren't you the one who said you didn't care about her? So now what? All of a sudden you care?" Rosalie said,

"Rosalie" Alice warned

"No, just like Athanasia said. He doesn't know what he wants"

I didn't let her finished, I quickly got up and left the table. I will not stay there and listen to her. She's right, I don't know what I want. I love Alice and I don't want to let her go but this feeling for Athanasia. I don't know what to do, what should I do? Should I leave my wife and chase another woman? Or should I stay with my wife and probably lose my true mate? Why can't life be easy?

Athanasia's POV:

It was Friday evening and I was keeping Bella company as she washes her truck. I was sitting on the front steps of her house. All of a sudden, Edward appears on top of Bella's truck.

"Come to my house tomorrow," Edward told Bella. He surprised Bella, she aims the hose at me and I got wet. Edward jumps down from the roof, laughing.

"It's not funny," I said standing up.

"Your house? Like with your family?" Bella asked surprised.

Edward look at the dent of her truck, he reaches under the dented front fender, with his bare hands, he easily pops the large dent out of the truck's body. Bella looks too flustered to even registered what happened.

"Show off," I said rolling my eyes and he smirks.

"Hey, where have you been anyways?" he asks me.

"Didn't feel like going, so I took the days off," I said and he nods.

"But...what if they don't like me?" Bella shyly asked. We turn to look at her, Edward laughs heartily and I smiled at Bella.

"You're worried, not because you'll be in a houseful of vampires, but because you think they won't approve of you?" he asked smiling.

"Yup, that's Bella for you,"I said. Edward and I laugh at her.

"I'm glad I amuse you guys," Bella said.

Our laugh soon dies down when we heard something. Well, rather we smelled a certain scent. Edward and I turn to look down the road.

"What is it?" Bella asked. Edward looks at me, I nod and we turn to Bella.

"A complication," he said, as a black car comes into view and pulls up.

"I'll pick you two up tomorrow," he said heading to his car, Edward eyes the passengers of the black car.

"Not me" I screamed out. Edward turns to me and smirks.

"You going, little lady"

He didn't give me time to respond as he continues to walk towards his car. Edward, Jacob, and another man exchanges some stares. The man looks intended and anxious. Edward and the man lock eyes. Jacob looks questioningly at his father. Bella and I watched Edward drive away. Bella forces a smile and goes to greet the visitors. Jacob sets up the man's wheelchair and he climbs into it.

"Come to visit your truck?" Bell asked

"Looks good. you got the dent out" Jacob said. The man, Bella, and I looked at the once dented fender.

"Actually, we came to visit your flat screen. First Mariners game of the season. Plus Jacob here kept bugging me to see you again." Jacob looks mortified, I look at him amused.

"Great, dad. thanks" Jacobs said shooting his father an irritated look.

"And who is this beauty?" the man asked staring at me and I smiled at him.

"Hello, my name is Athanasia Oizys," I said holding my hand to shake his.

"Athanasia" he whispered my name. It went quiet, the man stared at my hand, looked up and smiled.

"Hello there, Athanasia. Names Billy Black" he said shaking my hand.

"And this is my son Jacob Black," he said. I stared at them shocked. Black, it cannot be. They're his descendant. I stare at Billy, then at Jacob, and then again at Billy.

"Is the Black family still chief of the Quileute tribe?" I asked. Billy looked at me strangely.

"Yes, we are," Mr. Black said and I smiled at him.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, sir," I said.

"How did you know?" Billy asked just as a police cruiser pulls up. Charlie climbs out, holding two six-packs.

"Pale Ale," Charlie said.

"Harry Clearwater's homemade fish fry," Mr. Black said holding up a brown paper bag.

Charlie smiles, pleased. We all head inside.

"Any luck with the Waylon case?" Billy asked,

"Found a footprint out at the crime scene today. A bare, human footprint" Charlie said with a dark expression. Billy seems disturbed but not surprised, well why would he, his a Black after all. Bella turns to be horrified.

"A person did that?" Bella asked. I looked at Bella, is she serious asking that?

"A crazy person, walking around barefoot this time of year" Jacob comment.

"He didn't say a person did it, he just said he found a human's barefoot print. Nothing is proven yet" I said making them all stare at me.

"Yeah. Anyways spread the word at the rez, will ya? Keep the kids out of the woods" Charlie told Billy.

"Will do. Don't want no one else getting hurt" Mr. Black said staring directly at Bella and me.

Bella looks away from Mr. Black, unnerved. However, I just smiled at him. Mr. Black stared at me confused but I didn't say anything. We all went inside, ate Mr. Clearwater's homemade fish fry, watched some football, then later Jacob, Bella and I went upstairs and hanged out.

When it was time for them to leave, Mr. Black stared at me, thinking about something. I saw him staring at me as Jacob drove away. I was wondering since he is his descended, does that mean he knows about me? And if so, is my secret safe from harm?
