Lizzy's POV:

"No! No! Please… please…please." I said in tears. As I woke up, I was saying these words, I was clinging to something also, that was supposed to be Edward. Was it a something, or a someone?

When I glanced at my fists, I saw a blue fabric twisted in them. I think I recognized this, but I wasn't sure. Where had I seen this before?

Somebody was humming a very soothing tune nearby, and as I started to realize who was near me, I made the mistake of glancing up. Carlisle was staring down at me.

Wait a minute… Oh Crap! Crap! I was in Carlisle's room, in his and Esme's bed, grabbing onto his shirt, and laying on top of him!

I bolted straight up, and almost fell off of the bed. Carlisle saved me though. He grabbed my arm before I fell off the edge. I was grateful that he didn't let me fall, but the fact that he was so cold… just still surprised me so much.

He pulled me up, and smiled at me, as if it was a normal thing to just have me in his bed, almost falling off. When he smiled at me, I dropped my gaze, almost immediately.

Of course, he noticed everything. (Seriously, it was getting annoying.)

I'm not sure why, but my heart started pounding. Crap! This was it, he was gonna say I needed to leave. Crap!

It was to quiet in here, even for Carlisle.

He gently tipped my head up with his finger, and the moved his hand away. He slowly stood up, and walked to the door. Then, he turned around, and motioned with his head for me to come with him. Oh man. Here goes nothing.

Carlisle's POV:

Lizzy was very nervous. I could tell, by everything she was giving off. Her heartbeat was way to fast, and her breathing was very uneven. I had decided, that I might as well ask her what she wanted me to do about what happened at the mall yesterday.

I walked her down the hallway from mine, and Esme's bedroom, to my office that all the others hated. Lizzy never previously understood, but I had a feeling she would soon enough. When we arrived at my office I told her to take a seat in one of the chairs, before closing the door. After I had closed the door, I walked over to my desk and leaned back against it with my arms folded across my chest.

Lizzy looked very nervous, so I figured I'd just go ahead and start this off.

"Lizzy" I said very clearly. She looked up at me with wide eyes. I then made my points clear to her and said, "You know you should've stayed with the others. You know, none of the others were supposed to be off on their own. Just because all the others are older, didn't mean they didn't have to follow my rule, every single one of them had to be with at least one of their siblings at all times. Why did you think that rule didn't apply to you?"

Lizzy then looked away from me, and shrugged her shoulders. I have been around teenagers long enough to know when they're lying. Who did she think she could fool?

"Yes, you do know. I have a feeling I know too, but I can't be sure unless you tell me, and explain."

She looked back up at me and nodded. Then she said, "I, I guess, well. It's because I'm not one of your kids."

I nodded my head. "That's what I thought. Well, you do realize that you broke a rule, and that you do deserve to be punished because you deliberately disobeyed me." She nodded her head. "If you were one of my children, you definitely would not be getting this option. However, seeing as you are not my child, I am going to ask you. Would you prefer I take care of your punishment here, or I send you home to have Charlie deal with you. Keep in mind, if you choose to let Charlie handle everything, you will not be allowed to live here anymore. You can come for visits, and weekends and things like that just like your sister used to do, but you will not be allowed to live here anymore."

I realized that I was being harsh, but because I was I had a feeling that she would choose to have me deal with her. I knew she loved living here, and we all loved having her around, with the exception of Renesmee.

Lizzy looked up at me with tears forming in her eyes. She bit her lip and looked away again. "If you were to uh, punish me. What would it be?" I knew that was coming.

"Well, if I were to punish you, I would treat it just as if you were any of my other children. They, get spankings."

Lizzy looked up at me with wide eyes, and her mouth open. She looked away again, and it seemed to me like she was weighing her options.

"I don't wanna leave." She said. I saw her trying not to cry. "Alright then. Come here." I said was I walked over to the couch. She followed behind me, and stood to my right side.

When I was sitting, she glanced at me, and looked straight back down. Well, she's at least somewhat better than Bella was. I placed my hand on her back, and guided her over my knee.

When her hands were on the ground, her heart rate started to speed up, and I saw one tear slide down the side of her face. Oh boy. This was going to be hard. She was just always so sweet, I didn't know if I could do this to her.

I sucked in a big breath that wasn't necessary, and raised my hand.
