A/N: It's been a few days but I wanted to get this chapter out before the weekend because I have a lot to do and didn't want to wait too long. Fair Warning there is a Character death in this chapter and it was kind of hard to write it because I didn't think the plot bunnies were REALLY wanting to go there. Again, thank you to everyone who has favored or has followed this story. Without y'all this story would suck. On to the reading now!

Disclaimer: I own NOTHING! If I did I would be over in Barbados with my girl Purplepixie drinking something nice with a lil umbrella in it!

Bella's POV

When I woke up the next morning, I felt refreshed. I took a shower and got dressed. Going over to Lee's room, I saw she was sitting on the bed.

"What's up Lee? Why do you look like someone just sold your dog or something?" I asked.

"No reason Bells, you about ready to head out of here?" Leah asked.

We got our bags and headed downstairs. Zach and some guy were down there talking, when they saw us they stopped.

"Good Morning Ladies. Did you sleep well?" Zach asked.

"Yes, thank you. We're about to head out. Thank you again." I said making a move to the door.

"Excuse me, my name is Stefan, I believe you know my brother Damon?" He asked.

"Yes, we do. Do we need to settle the bill with you? I tried to give it to him but he didn't want to take it." I said reaching into my purse for the money.

"No, no it's our pleasure to have you here. I wanted to let you know that I wanted to extend your stay. At least until the weekend." Stefan said.

"That's nice of you but we have houses to look at. Besides, we don't want to intrude that long." I said.

"You won't be intruding, we don't have many people here as it is." Stefan said.

"How about you tell us the truth and stop beating around the bush." Leah said.

"~Sighs~ Look, I knew nothing until a couple of hours ago when Damon called me. Mystic Falls is small, but not so small you can walk everywhere. Your car is out of commission at the present time." Stefan told us.

We went out to see the car but it didn't look like anything was wrong with it. When I got in to start it, that's when I noticed. That little shit did something to my car! I pulled the hood up and saw that Damon had taken the damn battery out!

"When I get my hands on him, he's DEAD!" I yelled.

"Bells, I told you…"Leah was saying but Stefan's phone went off.

He went into the house to answer it and I stood there fuming. I couldn't believe he did that. ~When he comes in today I am gonna kill him~ I thought. Stefan came back and told us that Damon had called to let us know he would be back in a couple days. Stefan had said he would around with us to look for a place. He said that Damon wanted him to look after me and Leah til he came back. More and more ways came to mind to kill one Damon Salvatore as we went around town with Stefan.

The day was spent between looking at houses and finding way to kill Damon. Leah found a house that was next door to Stefan's girlfriend Elena. I vetoed that because she didn't like having us at the Boarding House. I couldn't have cared less what she thought because I just wanted to find us a place to live. I think she was more pissed off I was in the room she stays in when she doesn't want to stay with Stefan in his room.

That night as I was laying in bed, I had time to think about what happned when Damon touched me. I didn't think that kind of thing happened when people touched. Damon wasn't that far from my thoughts after that but I couldn't let myself go there again. I almost fell for Jasper and something about that made my skin crawl at the "What ifs". I could only hope a good nights' sleep would clear my head.

~Slight Lemon Warning~

His hands were so sure as they caressed me. The moan that escaped me made me wonder if it really was me. I ran my hands down his chest to the top of his pants, wanting something but not exactly sure what it was. One of his hands was on my breast, massaging it like he'd never get enough of me and the other was caressing and rubbing my hip.

"Damon." I breathed his name like it was the last thing I've ever say.

"You feel like heaven Bella." He whispered in my ear.

Before I could take my nest breath, it felt like Damon was shaking me or someone was shaking me.

~End Slight Lemon~

"What the HELL Lee?!" I yelled sitting up in the bed.

"Be glad it's me or you'd have to fight off Zach with a baseball bat. Stefan's asked us to meet him in the parlor room." Leah said.

We made our way down to the parlor room and we could hear Stefan and Damon talking.

"…I need to talk to her." Was what Damon was saying.

"No need because you are on speaker and THEY can hear you." Stefan said looking at us.

I had no idea what Damon wanted with us, but as soon as I heard his voice all I wanted to do was kill him.

"Damon, why are we being held prisoner here?" I asked.

When I heard Angela's voice, I was livid. Why was he in Forks? And why the HELL was he with my friends?! I told him I didn't want them here after he reminded me about my car. When Stefan hung up, I ran up to the room I had used. Leah was right behind me.

"What do you want to do Bells? We can be out of here in a flash." Leah said.

"No, something is going on there, otherwise Damon wouldn't be bringing Angel and Jules here. Lee, I know it has something to do with the Cullens. It's just a feeling but I don't think they are what they say they are. I mean I KNOW they're vampires but it's just how after they told me what they were, at school, it seemed like I couldn't be alone. Like they wanted me to just fall in line with whatever they said. The little one, Alice, was the most direct one. She tried to make me stay by saying she couldn't see me and I had to stay in order for her to see me." I told Leah.

Damon had to have found out something. I was sure of it. I would just have to wait until he came back. While I waited, I decided to get washed and dressed and go out and find a house.

Stefan was kind enough to let us use his car to drive around and look for houses. Leah and I were driving around when I saw a house that was for rent. I called to ask about the house and about 30 minutes later a well dressed woman met us on the steps.

"Hello, My name is Carol Lockwood. Welcome to Mystic Falls Ladies." She said shaking our hands.

"Thank you Mrs. Lockwood. We don't want to keep you long, what can you tell us about this house?" I asked.

"Well, it's the Bennett house. You'll get the chance to meet Bonnie Bennett at school. Her Grandmother lived here but she passed away not long ago and the family wanted to put the house up for sale. It has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen, living room, a basement and a den. Let's go in and I'll show you around." Mrs. Lockwood said.

Going into the house, I felt like I was home. Something about this house made me feel like I had family around me, but I knew that couldn't be true. I wanted the house but I had to get Leah's take on it. We asked Mrs. Lockwood to give us a few minutes to talk it over.

"What do you think Lee? I love it but you have to be here too." I said.

"You know the weird thing is, is that I felt like I was at peace here. Like I was finally home. I say we take it Bells." Leah said.

We told Mrs. Lockwood we would take the house and all we had to do was fill out the paperwork. After getting the keys, we went back t the Boarding House. Elena's car was there when we pulled up. ~All I need is a jealous girlfriend~ I thought as we got out of Stefan's car. She came out with fire in her eyes, aimed right at me.

"What the HELL are you doing with Stefan's car?" She yelled coming at me.

"Stefan loaned it to us to look for a house. Do You have a problem with that?" Leah asked standing in front of me.

"You can move, I wasn't talking to you." Elena said.

I tapped Lee on her should to get her to move out-of-the-way.

"Look, I don't want Stefan. You can have but the next time you come at me, it won't be a pretty sight." I said menacingly.

"I'd love to see you try it. I'll have more people looking for you before the day is out." Elena said.

I was done with her and her attitude so I walked past her to the house. She grabbed my arm and the next thing I know, she's on the ground holding her head. Stefan came out then to see what was wrong. Me and Leah stood there with our mouths open, no clue of what just happened.

"What happened?" Stefan asked helping Elena up.

"No clue. She grabbed my arm and I turned to look at her and she fell to the ground holding her head. I will say to you what I said to her. I don't want you Stefan. You two are cute together but I'm not in the business of going after someone that's taken. We came back to let you know we had found a house and we were gonna stay there from now on." I told Stefan.

"I'm not sure if that's a good idea Bella. Damon may be on his way back.." Stefan was saying.

"What do you mean Damon may be on his way Stefan? I thought you two didn't talk to each other anymore." Elena said slightly panic

"Elena I never told you about Damon. I never mentioned him and I not speaking to each other." Stefan said looking at Elena really weird.

"Yes you did. About a month ago we were in your room and you told me how upset he was at you for liking a girl you liked." She said looking all kinds of panic now.

Stefan let it go, but I looked at Lee and she had the same "WTF" look on her face I'm sure I did. We followed Stefan and Elena into the house and Lee and I went to get our things. As I was coming from the bathroom, Elena was there on the bed.

"OMG! What now?! Do I need to have it written in the sky or something?! I DON'T WANT STEFAN! Now get the HELL out of my room!" I yelled.

Before I could even put my clothes away, Elena had me up against the wall. I saw veins come up under her eyes and what looked to be fangs in her mouth. Was I scared? Shitless! Did I show it? HELL NAW! I just looked at her like she was a lunatic that escaped from the mental hospital. When I looked into her eyes, the same thing as before happened. Elena fell to the ground holding her head.

When she gave up on the withering on the floor, she looked at me like she wanted to kill me.

"What the hell are you Bitch?!" She whispered-yelled at me.

"Evidently someone you don't want to keep pissing off. Now leave my room before you make me do something even worse to you." I calmly said.

Elena got up and walked out of the room and I sank to the floor where I stood. ~Where the FUCK was Lee or Stefan~ I thought as I slowly got up and finished packing my "supposed" overnight bag. Going downstairs, I saw Stefan was laid out on the floor and right next to him was Lee. I ran over to Lee first to check for a pulse. ~I will NOT freak out~ I kept repeating in my mind as I double checked Lee for a pulse.

"Bella? What happened?" I heard Stefan ask me.

"I…I don't know. I came down after Elena attacked me and I found you both.." I trailed off as the weight of what happened hit me.

"Who would do this? Lee is harmless! Why would someone kill her?!" I cried while holding Lee's hand.

I don't know how long I sat there next to Leah, but I knew I had to make a call to Sam to let him know what's happened. Still holding onto Leah, I made a call I never wanted to make.

"Hello." Sam's voice said to me.

"S…Sam." I croaked out.

"Bella? Is that you sweetie?" Sam asked.

"Y…Yea, it's me. I w…wanted to let you know that there's been an accident. I…I'm sorry." I cried into the phone.

"Calm down Bella, it's gonna be okay…" Sam was saying.

"NO IT'S NOT! They'll find me Sam! I got her hurt and y'all will hate me! I'm sorry!" I yelled into the phone.

"Bella, baby, please calm down. Tell me what's going on and we'll fix it." Sam said calmly.

I told Sam everything, well, not the part about being in Mystic Falls. Once I told him almost everything, he told me stay where I was and that the pack wouldn't be mad at me. He wanted to know if I would tell him where I was but I was too scared to do that because of Alice. I told him if they wanted to come then to come east and I would try to guide them from there but since I didn't want Alice to know, the Cullens would be here before they would.

I hung up with Sam and called out to Stefan. He looked like death warmed over, twice. I asked if he would help me move Lee to some place that she would keep until I could bury her and he took me to the basement where they had a deep freezer. I hugged and kissed Leah's head and whispered how sorry I was before we put her in there.

I didn't make any kind of decisions on what I was gonna do. As I was walking back to the front of the house, the door opened and I fell out where I stood

*Hides behind Damon* let me know when they've stopped throwing the tomatoes at me. I KNOW I KNOW! Y'all didn't see this coming but I promise the next chapter is going to be in Alice's POV because I think her mind is a little warped and someone needs to relock her in the nuthouse. Thank you again for reading and please hit that little button and let me know what you think. I haven't said that in the other chapters but work with me people I am STILL trying to navigate this site
