p style="text-align: left;"emMy eyes fluttered open and a stream of light cracked through the window to my left. My eyes were blurry but the longer my eyes remained opened the more everything came into focus. I felt the press of lips against my shoulder and I looked over and saw Gabrielle's fire like hair. I ran my fingers through it and she looked up at me, her eyes were filled with happiness and love./em/p
p style="text-align: left;"em"Good morning, my love." She reached out and sat up making the covers fall to her hips. She leaned in and kissed me sweetly, I felt her knee brush across my navel as she straddled my hips. She lay her forearms either side of my head and pulled her lips from mine, "You know if I had any say this wouldn't have happened to you."/em/p
p style="text-align: left;"em"I don't understand." I said running my fingers along her back./em/p
p style="text-align: left;"em"You are safe her my love, I will protect you from anyone. ANYONE." the love in her eyes paled into anger and I started to sit up getting slightly scared./em/p
p style="text-align: left;"em"Gabe, what..?" I swallowed but her eyes relaxed and she smiled./em/p
p style="text-align: left;"em"Relax, just know that I will always look out for you. Vampire or not." As she pressed a kiss to my forehead/em I woke up, there was no bright peaceful light, no calmness and no Gabrielle. I woke to an unfamiliar room with a man and woman looking down at me, their topaz eyes staring back at me. /p
p style="text-align: left;"Panic settled in along with fear, loneliness and a hunger so big I was driven mad by it all. The man seemed to notice because he stepped forward and said, "You are okay, you are safe. Nothing to fear here, my dear."/p
p style="text-align: left;"I didn't say anything, I got out of the bed I was laying in and ran towards the door. I bolted through the house in a speed I never thought I possessed. Everything seemed to fly by me inhumanely and the smells were almost overwhelming but I managed to push through and continue on./p
p style="text-align: left;"I ran through a secluded forest and in no time found myself at the edge of Rochester. I looked out and I was doubled over with the smell and pull. I didn't know what it was but it forced me to walk towards it. I saw that the smell and pull was dragging me towards anyone that walked past, I could hear their heart beats and the blood that flowed through their veins./p
p style="text-align: left;"I swallowed, licking my lips as I watched them all. I was about to step out when a hand caught my shoulder and pushed me into a building wall. A pair of topaz eyes glared back at me and I took in the man in front of me, he wasn't the man before, he had wild brown hair, he was younger and slightly smaller./p
p style="text-align: left;""You cannot do what your thinking of doing!" He snarled and I pushed him off of me and I saw that I had pushed him hard enough to making him hit into the opposite wall and create a huge indent in the bricks./p
p style="text-align: left;""And what am I thinking?!" I snarled back/p
p style="text-align: left;""You want to go home, you can't you will endanger your family." He said/p
p style="text-align: left;"Endanger! I would never harm Gabe, James, Joan or David. My heart cracked in my chest at the thought of Gabe, her gorgeous eyes shimmering with humour and love. I fell to my knees as her face came into my mind./p
p style="text-align: left;""I take it she is your sister?" the man asked and I glared up at him./p
p style="text-align: left;""You...how?!" I demanded/p
p style="text-align: left;""I have a gift, I can read your thoughts." He huffed as if he was sick of explaining it./p
p style="text-align: left;""Well stop, my thoughts are private!" I growled and took a step towards the street of people but he grabbed me back and slammed me back against the wall./p
p style="text-align: left;""Do you want to hurt her?" He demanded, "Because that is what will happen if you go back to her."/p
p style="text-align: left;""I would never hurt her, I could never." I pushed him again and forced him back against the wall./p
p style="text-align: left;""The way you are, you will." He grabbed my shoulder and forced me to walk back the way we came. As we got to the forest edge the man and woman from earlier caught up with us. /p
p style="text-align: left;""You stopped her, thank you Edward," the man said /p
p style="text-align: left;""Come on, you must be hungry." The woman said draping her arm around my waist but I flinched away from her taking a casual stroll./p
p style="text-align: left;"I could hear Edward and the man talking, "What was she trying to do?"/p
p style="text-align: left;""Go home to her sister." Edward said and I snarled, loudly./p
p style="text-align: left;""She is NOT my sister!" I glared over my shoulder./p
p style="text-align: left;""Then who is she then?" Edward asked, glaring at me./p
p style="text-align: left;""None of your concern, now stop looking through my head for clues as to who I am." I growled/p
p style="text-align: left;""My dear, we know who you are." The man said and I turned fully towards him./p
p style="text-align: left;"Edward piped up, "Yes, Rosalie Lilian Hale, born 13th of May 1914, wealthy, entitled and slightly deluded." /p
p style="text-align: left;""Edward!" The woman scorned/p
p style="text-align: left;""Died 8th of August 1929." I didn't think, I grabbed him by the neck and pinned him against the nearest tree./p
p style="text-align: left;""What did you say?!" I roared/p
p style="text-align: left;""That you died on the 8th of August 1929." He shrugged/p
p style="text-align: left;"I stepped back shattered, "But I'm not dead."/p
p style="text-align: left;""To this life, you are." The man expressed with sympathy /p
p style="text-align: left;""NO! There are people I need to see, need to tell." I said but he shook his head./p
p style="text-align: left;""That is too risky, and it's too late anyway. The authorities have found your body...well supposed body." He explained and I fell to my knees./p
p style="text-align: left;"My heart was wrenched, tears began to burn my eyes but didn't spill down my face just as I wailed loudly. No, this wasn't happening. This was a dream...I'll wake up soon./p
p style="text-align: left;""Sorry, love, it ain't a dream." Edward said and I lost it./p
p style="text-align: left;"I got to my feet and pushed him through the tree I pinned him to before. I didn't think, I slapped and punched until I felt four pairs of arms pull me off of him. I looked down and found him pulled apart, quite literally. I didn't hear the other two speak because I got out of there. I ran fast as images of a heart broken Gabe ran through my head./p
