Chapter 7:

The Unknown

As I went to climb back into my room through the window, I could hear Rosalie and Edward having an argument.

"Rosalie, we can't just leave her here to fend for herself, she will soon be a part of our family according to Alice's vision." Edward said in a very frustrated and stressed tone.

"Do you really think I care Edward whether she joins our family or not? I could care less if she died because if we stick around thats all we are doing too!" Rosalie said in one of the harshest tones I have ever heard.

All of a sudden I could hear Rosalie screaming from below.

"Edward, why did you shove me out the window, in my new outfit?!"

"I didn't push you out the window, I simply guided you there." He said snickering out loud.

"Edward!"

I had to laugh some too. It was rather funny to watch Edward push her out of the second story window of his bedroom...of course she wouldn't be hurt what so ever but still the thought is funny and entertaining.

From below me I could hear Aaric and Carlisle having a friendly chat, no problem right? Wrong.

Edward started to head down stairs and I decided to follow and see what everyone was discussing.

As I followed the staircase down to the living room, I could see what looked like a family gathering but like always I was wrong, again.

When I entered the room I could see Aaric, in the center of everyone as if he was being interrogated. That's when I finally started to understand everything.

I could hear Esme's sweet voice, "Aaric, honey how can you do this to us, we trusted you."

"I'm sorry I had no choice it was the only way I could find her!"

Finally, it was my turn to get the answers around here, "What is going on Aaric?!"

No one answered, which made me even more nervous.

"Answer me Damn it!"

Aaric just nodded and stayed looking at the ground, "Artimee made me do it, he said it was the only way to get you home"--he looked down as if he was crying-- "I made the mistake of going to the Volturi, I thought it was the only way I could find you!"

"I told Artimee to leave me alone, and yet he still went against my wishes! Aaric, I can't believe your the reason why the Volturi are after me, I thought you actually cared about me or something like that!"

After that I had to get away, I had to free myself from the mess. I took off for the woods and I wasn't planning on coming back.

* * * *

While I was running in the woods I decided it was time to turn around, I couldn't keep running from my problems like this. I had to face Aaric...

As I ran back I could feel the cold wind of winter coming upon Forks. I truly have fell in love with this place. I have yet to master the whole blood lust thing but I know in my heart I can do it. I just wish this whole thing would be done with already. If only Alice's vision would come true.

Finally, I came upon the house that I had came to love more than any other place on this planet. It truly felt like a home to me, even though I have only been here for a week, and yet I still did not want to surrender it.

I entered through the back and proceeded to the living room. I found everyone in including the werewolves sitting at the dinning room table having a big conversation. Of course, Aaric was gone.

I quickly walked across the room, and as I hurried I saw everyone turn and look at me in surprise. Did they all expect me to stay gone forever?

"Hello",was the only thing that I could say that seemed appropriate at the time.

Of course Esme came at me with open arms and well Rosalie was Rosalie, "Great, your back like we still don't have enough problems on our hands."

I just ignored her and continued, "Where is Aaric?"

This time Esme answered, "He took off after you last night, we haven't seen him since."

As I walked towards the door Alice came and grabbed my arm, "Please stay...Your still welcomed here, no mater what."

My presence has effected Alice the most and yet she still wanted me here.
