HorsesS- I really do love my fans and I'm Soooooooooooooooooo sorry that I wasn't able to get up another chapter until now but it was just impossible because of all the papers that I had/have due.
Rosalie POV
I sat on the couch continuously tapping my fingers on the wooden table in front of me.
They say that time isn't an important matter when you have all eternity, but I beg to differ. In fact time always seemed to prolong itself just because it new that I had all of forever.
"Come on Rose. Don't look so glum. If you're so bored I bet I can think of a few things that will get your attention" I looked up and was presented with a large grin from my husband.
I just rolled my eyes and moved out of the way as he reached to grab me. I was going to make him work.
"Rosie." He whined and gave me an adorable puppy dog pout while letting his curly brown hair fair in front of his eyes. I felt the urge to intertwine my fingers in his hair but I held off.
"Let me just ease all your tensions away." He walked behind me and placed his hands on my shoulder and began to give me a back rub.
His head bent down and started to kiss the back on my neck. I could feel that he was about to trail kisses down my neck to my back when the door opened and someone cleared their throat.
I turned to face the door and saw Jasper standing there with a bit of a smirk.
"Sorry to interrupt but I just thought I should tell you that Carlisle, Edward, and I are heading to find our friend Karsten. We were wondering if either of you would like to join?"
I saw Emmett's face light up at the prospect of finding the vampire that had been eluding us for weeks.
"I'm so there! I've been waiting since the moment I saw him to punch his pretty little face in." He barely gave me another look before he walked over to Jasper and slapped him on his back.
"Please tell me that we're leaving now." Emmet stated.
From the force he was using to push up his sleeves, I could tell that he was mentally getting ready for fight.
"In a few minutes. Edward and Alice went to Bella's house, so we'll be leaving when Edward comes back. Are you coming too, Rose?" My glare must have been answer enough.
That other coven's personal problems had nothing to do with us and I found no reason that we had to get involved. Why would it matter to me that apparently, who ever this Karsten was, snapped on his girlfriend and attacked her?
Things like that are bound to happen when Vampires and Humans try to form a relationship.
I assumed that was the reason Edward had been spending more time then usual with Bella after Francisco told us what Karsten did to the human.
He obviously saw parallels between Him and Bella and Karsten and the girl. Hearing that Karsten hurt Evelyn probably made him worry that he could possibly do the same to Bella. Sometimes my brother could be so stupid.
"Well I suppose we'll see you later then. Carlisle wants to talk before we leave." Emmett walked over and gave me a peck on the cheek before charging down the hallway to find Carlisle with Jasper behind him.
I sauntered back over to the couch, wanting to get lost in my thoughts. Emmett and I haven't been separated from one another for quite some time and I suppose I just wanted to bask in that fact.
My head turned towards the bay window. The sky seemed to have gotten darker in the recent days for some reason.
When I had mentioned it to Emmett, he just commented that it was a bad omen in a jokingly manner and then tried to kiss me.
As much as I wanted to just shrug that comment off as an "Emmett joke" I just couldn't shake the feeling that he may have a point, and that the luck that we have had in the past was finally coming to an end.

Jasper POV
I walked quickly down the hallway getting in front of Emmett before we reached the steps. I walked down the first couple of steps with Emmett quietly following behind me.
Having him so quiet for this length of time was very eerie. Not to mention the fact that he had been so pumped just a few seconds ago. If it wasn't for my ability to feel emotions I probably would have turned around to make sure he was still behind me.
"She really hates the fact that were getting involved with another human vampire relationship, doesn't she." Emmett questioned.
I glanced back at my brother and saw him tentatively playing with his fingers. The only time I ever saw Emmett get nervous was when it had something to do with Rose.
"It's just; I really don't want to get on her bad side because of all this."
"Don't worry too much about it. She's upset right now but, like always, she'll get over it."
From the change of his emotions to a more calm type, I figured that my words had helped him.
We made it to the room mere seconds later and saw Carlisle patiently waiting for us.
"I take it Rosalie decided not to join us this evening?" Emmett nodded his head in agreement before Carlisle spoke again.
"Very well. While we wait for Edward to get back let me just make some things clear. Our intention tonight is not to find and kill Karsten but just to make it clear that he is no longer welcome to stay in this area."
Carlisle gave Emmett a point look then focused on both of us again.
"However if he refuses to leave or gives us a hard time, then do what is necessary."
"But what if he leaves here and goes off to hunt Evelyn."
"I'm sure she'll be fine. Francisco and his partner have taken her somewhere safe that Francisco has covered up."
From Emmett's face I could tell that he wasn't completely convinced. Honestly, neither was I, but I didn't know too much about this Karsten so I had to trust Carlisle on this.
"Where are we going to start searching for him at?" I questioned.
"Francisco said that he'd probably be somewhere around Forks and if not here around Port Angeles."
I was about to reply when I felt a surge of excitement overcome me. I looked for the source and realized that it was Emmett getting pumped for the possible confrontation. It took me a moment to realize that he was getting pumped because he heard the sound of Edward's car pulling into the driveway.
"Edward's home!" Emmett exclaimed with merriment.
"Emmett! Remember we are not going there with the expectations of a fight." Carlisle scolded. Emmett just nodded his head refusing to allow the smile to fall from his face.
We heard the door open and close and then his foot steps as he made his way to the living room.
"Everything go as planned?"
"Yes. Charlie assumes that Alice is staying over for the next few days to help Bella with the wedding while he is away for some convention." Edward replied.
I looked towards Carlisle and noticed him looking intently at Edward and guessed they were having a conversation with one another. After a few seconds Edward nodded his head.
Carlisle gracefully stood from his seat and walked to the door with the three of us following him. The moment he reached for the door we heard a slight squeaking noise come from the other side of the door.
Carlisle let his hand drop as the squeaking sounded once more. We waited for a few seconds before we heard a rushed knocking on the door.
We looked at one another wondering who would be at our door.
Carlisle raised his hand again and opened to the door. Standing before us was a disheveled man with blonde hair and red eyes. His eyes darted to each of us before settling on a small pocket watch clutched in his hand. This must've been Karsten.
He cursed softly before looking up again and focusing on Carlisle. "I…I…need your help."
The pleading look in his eyes and the concern radiating from his body caught me off guard. This wasn't the type of behavior I would have expected from the supposed horrible Karsten.
AN: Hope you liked this chapter. No real drama yet just because it didn't feel right to have drama in this chapter. Next chapter might take a while to get out too just because of the crazy amount of hw that we get in these next few months. Sorry : ( Just so you guys know I usually post at around 2am-3am EST on Saturdays or Sundays so just look out for this story in two or three weeks at that time.
Next chapter: The Cullens and Karsten try to figure out who has been lied to, more information about Evelyn is revealed and some of the local werewolves may just get involved with this internal feud.
