For the rest of the weekend the girls went shopping and to the movies just having a nice girls weekend. They of course invited Seth to go along, but he said he would prefer to stay home and watch sports. In reality he didn't want to end up the pack mule and watch a chick flick. Once the weekend was over, Elizabeth and Alexis went back to Forks. Alexis was nervous about seeing Emmett again, she didn't know if he actually still want to go out with her, but she was going to give it a try and if she was wrong then that was it. When she got home she texted Samantha.

**"Hey, I'm back."**

**"How'd everything go in Beacon Hills?"**

**"Good, look I have some stuff I have to tell you, do you think we can meet up at your house?"**

**"Yeah sure, come on over."** Samantha texts back.

**"I'll be there in a few minutes, are you alone?"**

**"Yeah Rosalie went out hunting with everyone."**

**"Good."**

Alexis got to Samantha's house in record time, they went straight up to Sam's room where Alexis laid done on Samantha's bed, shutting her bedroom door she turn on some music then came and sat down next to Alexis.

"Okay Lexie, what's this all about."

"I like Emmett."

"Oh please, girl, that is the worst kept secret."

"Shut up, the problem is I don't know if he still likes me. I mean, I was mean to him all last year, I wouldn't be surprised if he finally came to his senses and decided to leave me alone for good now."

"No, he still likes you, he's just not going to chase you anymore."

"Oh."

Sam quirked an eyebrow as she studied her best friend, "What exactly happened in Beacon Hills?"

"I asked Talia if I could try to start a relationship with Emmett and she said is was okay with her."

"You're joking."

"Nope."

"How did this come about?"

"Okay you know how Emmett is now flirting with other girls and doesn't even acknowledge my existance anymore? Well I finally had enough and asked my mom about how would she feel about an interspecies relationship."

"And?"

"And it turns out that there have been Lycan Vampire relationships before, granted the first one led to a blood war in Budapest, but the point is that it's possible."

"That's great!" Samantha yells.

"Yeah, so when my mom said it was okay with her, we went down to see Talia. After explaining everything to her, she said it was fine by her. The only ones that might have a problem with this is Derek and my dad when he wakes up."

"Why do I feel there's a but?"

"But, I don't know how Emmett is going to react to me being a Lycan. Talia suggests not to tell him until he confesses that he's a vampire.

"That's a good idea and if he can't handle it, then he wasn't the right person for you."

"True."

"Hey, why don't you spend the night then tomorrow we'll go to school together." Samantha suggests.

"I don't see why not, let me call my mom and ask her to be sure, then we'll go drop my car off at home and I'll get a change of clothes."

"Great let me ask my mom too, I'm sure she'll say yes." Sam says as she heads downstair to ask her mom.

Both mothers said that it was okay so, Lex goes home to drop off her car and get her clothes and book bag for the next day. A few minutes later Samantha shows up, they first head to the store to buys some sodas and snack then to Pizza Hut to pick up an order. Once they get to Samantha's house, Lex shows her the outfit that she's going to where the next day.

"Ooh, now if Emmett doesn't notice you in that then he is completely dead," Samantha says with a laugh, "Love the boots and your ass is going to look fabulous in these leather pants."

"Thanks, it was Talia's idea."

"No way!"

"Yep."

The girls eat pizza and watch a movie, the stay up for a while talking until Samantha gets a text from Rosalie. At that point it was time to go to bed anyway, so Lex goes to the bathroom to get ready for bed to give Samantha some privacy. By the time she comes out Sam is off the phone with Rosalie.

Lex gives Sam a smirk, "So what did your love tell you?"

"She said that her and her family went to Tacoma where there has been an overpopulation of mountain lions. So they thinned it out a little mostly going for the males, she says they taste better, they taste closer to humans than deer.

Alexis frowns at that comment, "Sam, I have to tell you that if Rosalie tries to kill you, I'll rip her throat out with my teeth. You're my best friend and I won't let you get hurt."

"Thank you, Lex, that so sweet in a gruesome sort of way. I know that you mean well and I appreciate it, but you don't have to worry, Rosalie says that I'm her mate and that whenever I want to be turned she'll ask Carlisle to do it."

"Or I could ask Talia, she could turn you too or I can do it, Lycans are all venomous, just that your alpha would be Talia since she's mine. And our venom isn't painful, the bite hurts but you'll heal over. Dr. Deaton told me to be turned into a vampire is agonizing, you feel like your on fire for three days. " Lex tells her.

"Hmm, now there's an idea, I've always thought werewolves were cooler than vampires, well that is until I met Rosalie. How about this, when you reveal what you are to the Cullens and everyone accepts it, I'll tell Rosalie I'd rather be a werewolf."

"Lycan."

"Whatever."

"No not whatever we're completely different."

"You both have fur and howl at the moon, it's the same thing."

"No it's not, you see…"

And that led into a 30 minute explanation into the difference between Lycans and Werewolves.

"Okay, okay Lycans are totally different from Werewolves, goodnight!" Samantha says with a laugh as she turns out the light.

"We also have night vision."

"Shut Up!"

The next day when Emmett pulls up in his jeep to school, he casually looks around to see if Alexis was there yet. When he didn't see her car he shrugs and goes to be with his family. After a while they head inside, because it was drizzling a bit harder, so Emmett never saw when Alexis and Samantha showed up.

"Are you ready?" Sam asks

"Of course I am, what do I have to worry about? If Emmett notices, great if he doesn't, oh well."

Samantha shakes her head, "Man, you are the worst liar when it comes to Emmett."

"Shut up."

Samantha laughs as they head in before the warning bell. When they enter their class Emmett is talking to one of the football players, he glances up when the scent of Japanese Cherry Blossoms hit his nose. He looks back at the football player, but then does a double take, his mouth falls open when he sees Lex. She's wearing a camel tailored coat styled with a beige turtleneck sweater and black leather biker bottoms, she has on ankle high black boots. Her hair was in a updo with wisps of hair framing her bluer than normal blue eyes. Then she takes off her coat and Emmett gasps, he can see the curve of her ass just perfect through the leather pants and he can see her petite little waist, even under the sweater. After hanging up her coat she turns and gives him the most brilliant smile he has ever seen. Emmett swallows hard then gives her one of his most beautiful dimpled smiles, she walks with Samantha up to Rosalie to say hi, then Alexis turns to Emmett.

"Hi, Emmett, did you have a nice three day weekend?"

Emmett stares at her for a minute, until Rosalie nudges his arm.

"What? Oh hi, Lex, yeah I had a great weekend, h-how was yours?"

"Wonderful, went home briefly to see my aunt and dad, then rushed back here, what did you do?"

"Uh, we went camping, no big deal." Emmett says still staring at Lex.

"Oh, well, it sounds like fun, maybe you can tell me about it later."

"Yeah, yeah, I'll tell you all about it." Emmett says in an excited tone.

"Great! Maybe at lunch?"

"Oh yeah definitely at lunch."

With that, Alexis gave Emmett one more dazzling smile then turned and walked to her seat. Samantha watches the whole interaction with a smirk on her face, suddenly her phone goes off.

**Alright, you won, she caught him.**

Samantha looks at her girlfriend and winks, of course she won.

The morning classes went by slowly but in each class Alexis made it a point to sit close to Emmett or to have some form of phyical contact with him, either a light touch to the chest or on his arm, something. All this attention that Emmett was getting was driving him mad, everytime he looked at Lex he just wanted to wrap his arms around her and kiss her sensless.

When their last morning class ends, Emmett and Alexis walk out of the classroom together. Emmett walks Lex to her locker to put her books away, then she goes with him to his. They head to the cafeteria together to get their lunch, as they leave the lunch line Emmett spot an empty table, taking her tray, he leads her to the table. Emmett begins to tell her about his weekend how they went hiking and fishing and hunting, though they never caught anything. Lex knew he was lying she could smell the lie coming off him like a cologne, but what was he going to tell her that he went and fed on wild animals all weekend?

Emmett was about to ask her what she did over the weekend, but Lex caught sight of something disturbing. She saw Edward Cullen talking to her little cousin, and that was something she was not going to tolerate. She watches as Bella walks away from Edward, then she holds up a finger towards Emmett.

"Emmett can you excuse me for a moment?"

Emmett gave her a confused look, "Sure."

"Thank you."

Alexis get up and makes a beeline straight for Edward intercepting him before he can reach his other siblings, Alexis gets right in his face.

"I'm only going to tell you this once, stay away from my cousin."

"And who's your cousin?"

"Bella Swan is my cousin, and if you know what's good for you, you'll stay as far away from her as possible." Alexis tells him.

"Excuse me."

"You heard me, now if you don't want to live in a world of pain, I suggest you take me seriously, or else I'm going to kick the living shit out of you. And if you don't think I can't try me." Lex says as she takes a step closer to Edward causing him to take one back.

He could tell by the look in her eyes that she was deadly serious, "Look I don't want to have any trouble with you."

"You won't as long as you stay away from my cousin. This is your only warning, asshole." And to make her point she kicked him in the balls so hard and so fast no one noticed, but all Edward could do was sit down in a chair that Lex had pulled out for him, and groan.

"Do I make myself clear?" She asked as she rubbed his shoulders, Edward coughs then nods.

"Good." She then walked back to the table where a stunned Emmett sat.

"Why did you rack my brother?"

"It was just a warning for him to stay away from Bella."

"Why?"

"Because on the first day of school your asshole brother made my cousin feel so shitty about herself that I caught her in her truck almost in tears.

"I had no idea."

"No you wouldn't, you were off chasing some other girl."

"What?!"

"You heard me, look I was going to play this all nice, but your stupid brother ruined it, so I'm just going to lay it out there. I like you, Emmett, it took me a while to realize it, but I do. I wanted to apologize for last year for being such a bitch to you but I had my reasons back then, and now you're not interested in me anymore which I guess is what I deserve. I wanted to see if we could win you over again but after that little stunt with your brother, this is all pointless now. Sorry for wasting your time and mine, I got to go."

And with that she walked out of the cafeteria and took off to the office. She told her mom what happened and waited to be lectured. Her mom was furious, but since no one caught her and Edward hadn't complained, there was nothing she could do. Instead she gave her a pass to get out of the rest of her afternoon classes and go home to cool off. She was half way down the steps to the parking lot when she realized that she didn't have her car.

"Ah fuck! Now what am I going to do?"

"Do you alway cuss like a sailor when you talk to yourself?"

Alexis whirled around to find Emmett leaning against his jeep.

"Jesus, Emmett you scared the shit out of me!" She screamed.

She couldn't believe that she didn't notice Emmett leaning against his jeep, that just goes to show how worked up she was, Talia was going to kill her for not paying attention to her environment.

"What are you doing here, anyway."

"Well I saw you head up to the office, I figured you'd get sent home so I decided to wait for you here, I guess you forgot that you carpooled with Sam this morning."

"Yeah I did…I'm just going to walk home."

"I'll give you a ride if you want, this will give us a chance to talk, without you bolting out of the room. What'd you do, go confess?"

"Yes."

Emmett's mouth fell open, "You told your mom what you did to Edward?"

"Yes."

"What did see tell you?"

"She told me to go home and cool off."

Emmett laughed, "Well, let me take you home and we'll talk on the way."
