Edward walked out to the door. Rosalie was in the driver seat smiling at Edward. They were in his Volvo, so usually he got to drive that but he guessed that Carm had asked her to drive. "What is this?" he asked as he climbed into the passenger seat of the car.

Carm smiled, "Well I have not driven in a long time so I figured that Rosalie would like to drive, do you mind?"

"Well" he thought for a moment. "I am not sure about that, you see this is my car."

"Yes," Carm replied smiling at Rosalie as she took off down the laneway towards the road. "But you told me to grab a set of keys and I did not know what car they were going to lead to until I got out to the garage. So technically this is your fault that you did not get a chance to drive your car. But if you were to tell me who we are meeting up with then maybe you can drive there."

He deliberated for a few seconds then answered, "Well now that is completely decided I can't tell you anything until after we are done doing what is planned already then I'll let you make the call yourself. Because if I was to fill you in on what is going on now you would want to go there now, or at least that is what I think you will want to have happen." He smiled at her and turned his attention to the road where they were heading. They were already in Forks and so the next stop was the school.

Alice and Emmett arrived at the school a few seconds later in the jeep, Alice hopped out of the passenger seat and they all walked to the school together. As they got to the door Carm shut here eyes for a few seconds she reached her hand out trying to grab something but there was nothing in reach. Emmett's voice was the first one that she heard. "Carm," he sounded confused, "What are you looking for?"

"Jasper, I need help for a moment." Jasper stepped forward allowing her hand to touch his shoulder through his shirt, although the calm feeling was not too strong it seemed to calm her enough just having him there.

When she was fully calm he brushed the back of his fingers against her cheek. He started to think aloud for a second. "Is it easier for you to resist the smell of a human if you are repelling everything?" he asked thinking back to what she had told him about her ability during their talk the other day.

Carm nodded, "but you guys are all here and I trust that you will not let anything happen to me on this trip but if I keep my mind preoccupied enough I should be able to do this. With still allowing you to give me a hand and keep me calm I just needed that to start off with. I just need to focus. Get through this then I get to find out who we are meeting up with."

Rosalie looked at her with a smile. "The first part should be the hardest then it will be smooth sailing from there. We have to go to the office and take care of a few things, there will be humans there, and then we get to show you around. And we should not run into anyone when we do that." She took Carm's hand, "But don't worry we are all here to help, so don't worry, even if you decide to shut down and not let Jasper or Edward help you. We still have both Emmett and I who you can't repel if something does go wrong."

They walked into the school. Carm took a deep breath to steady herself as they walked into the office. She had to admit that holding onto Rosalie made it seem better. She had spent so much time over the past few years being afraid of everyone and everything that maybe this is what she did need, some love. They got to the secretary, and Edward motioned for Carm to join him up at the desk. Carm smiled at Rosalie as she followed her there still holding hands. Jasper used his own special talent to keep an eye on the emotions that were going on around him. Mostly the ones coming off of Carm, he knew that the others were able to handle themselves but she was having problems. Edward handed the secretary the papers that they needed and Ms. Cope handed a schedule to Edward. At that moment it became obvious that Carlisle had called ahead of them to make sure it was ready. They left the small office when they had that in their hands.

When they were in the halls Edward took out a pen and began to write names on the schedule as if he knew people in the class that she would know. He smiled as he pointed. "Your first class is with me and that is English. Then you are with Alice for Physics. Then Rosalie for music. Then we have lunch. Then you are with a few friends of ours that we trust for calculus. They are not vampires but they are capable of looking after you just the same. The other two classes for the afternoon you are with Jasper and Emmett, not together but you have History with Jasper and chemistry with Emmett. Does that sound good to you?"

"That sounds excellent but can we go meet up with these people so I know who they are the ones that I have calculus with?" she looked at the time table herself for a few seconds it did not look all that complicated to follow plus if she had one of them she should be able to do anything she figured.

Edward smiled at her, "That is really driving you crazy isn't it?" a smirk came across everyone's face. Then Carm remembered what she had done to both Edward and Alice earlier that day. When she purposely had teased them, and she realized at that moment that the suspense had driven him crazy. It was the same suspense that was driving her crazy at this very moment. She smiled at Edward.

"Ya I guess it is driving me a bit crazy not knowing. And yes I understand I did the same thing to you this morning but I have to keep my guard up sometimes. But can we please go meet them now."

Jasper smiled at her getting in on the fun himself, but in his own way, he placed a hand on her bare neck and sent a jolt of excitement through her spine. "I guess that maybe we could do that. Rose why don't you and I ride with Alice and Emmett? And that way we can take Carm with us so that Edward can make the phone call to make sure everything is good."

Rosalie nodded as she pushed Carm into the back seat of the jeep. She turned to Edward before getting in. "You head home and make the call on the way. Then give us a call and tell us where we are meeting up with them. Make sure you ask the other two to be there so that Carm is able to meet them at the same time."

Edward climbed into the Volvo, it took off down the road as Edward was making a call on his cell phone. Emily picked up the phone as Sam was just coming in from outside. She looked at the number before handing it to him not bothering to answer it herself.

"Edward, what can I do for you" he said smiling at Emily.

"We decided not to show Carm around the school so we are done doing everything. Any chance we could meet up now?"

"Sure, sure." He kissed Emily before adding, "I got a call from Carlisle a little while ago saying that Embry and Jared are in her calculus class. Any chance you want me to bring them along with me at the same time?"

"Actually that would be great, that way Carm will know who is in that class with her. It is the only one that one of us is not in with her and so we kind of figured that the two of them should be able to handle her."

"Okay I'll have them meet us in the clearing as well. By the way I don't mean to throw you off guard but since I told Paul about her he has been bugging me to see her. Is there any way that I could bring him along with me as well? I promise he will be on his best behaviour, and that does mean no phasing."

"I guess that is your call. At this point you know her better than we do. So we will meet you in the clearing in about 10 or 15 minutes. I was actually thinking that maybe it should be just you at first we don't want to overwhelm her. Then if she does well with that we can get her to meet the others."

"Okay, I will contact the other three and then head to the clearing myself."

Edward closed his phone and then opened it and dialled Emmett's cell number.

Alice picked it up, "What is it, Edward?"

"We are meeting up with them in the clearing in 10 to 15. And he is bringing a few friends along with him."

"Who is he bringing?" Alice asked suspicious.

"Embry, Jared and Paul." He smiled as he got out of the car and took off for the clearing on foot.

"Are you sure that is the best of ideas? I mean Carm might now be able to handle all four of them I am sure that it is going to be bad enough having to watch out for the three. But that last one is going to be a problem."

"Alice, he does not think so. There is more to that story than you know. It has to do with imprinting, if you get my drift." He thought for a moment then said. "Park the jeep where we usually do then let Carm follow you in on foot. It might be nice for her to run, I'll meet you there in a few."

Alice shut the phone and then looked at Carm who was sitting there still impatient. "Carm, I would not try to do anything. I know you have a bit of Edward's gift, but I would not suggest it. There is nothing in my head that you don't already know." She smiled as she put the phone away, "Besides the point that the others don't know what is going on either." She shot a meaningful glance at Jasper her shot another jolt of excitement through her body.

"Jasper, you have to stop doing that to me. It is starting to get annoying besides the point that you need to do other things with that gift of yours." She glared at him as he attempted to place his hand on the back of her neck again. She could not believe it that things were going this badly for her. Carm sighed and flicked her hair out of the way and let him touch her neck again. "Alright, I surrender. You can go ahead and do it again."

Jasper just smiled but made now motion to put his fingers where she had cleared a spot for them. "No I am good now."

The jeep came to a stop when the pathway had ended and they all got out of the jeep. Carm followed Rosalie out her door before she shut it. Emmett spoke up. "I think that Alice should lead the way, that way we should get there faster." He thought for a moment then added. "Or let Carm choose who it would be the easiest for her to follow there."

They all turned their attention to Carm, and Jasper smiled at her, "We are going from here on foot, and since it is just vampires here we figured that we could run. And Edward figured that you might like to do that a bit more. So figure out who it would be the easiest for you to follow there and then we can take off."

Carm deliberated for a second, and Alice smiled. "Are you actually thinking about it or are you just trying to drive us crazy again, because Edward is not here?"

Carm smiled at Alice, "honestly I am actually thinking about it, if you want I can think out loud for you guys to be able to hear me."

Everyone nodded and Carm opened her mouth to talk. "Well I have run with Jasper and Emmett, and Jasper is really easy to follow because I just follow the calm feeling that follows him. It has to do with the connection we have with each other right now. On the other hand Rose would be quite easy to follow. And I have never tried to follow Alice so I am not sure about that." She nodded to herself. "So I have to say that the easiest one to follow would be Jasper."

Jasper took off for the clearing with Carm on his heels. It took only a few seconds for them to reach it and Carm immediately took off for Edward who was standing in the center of everything. The air was dead and the fact that there was no wind meant that the wolves could be out of sight and still not have a problem. When they all caught up with Carm at Edward, he motioned to Alice to come and see him for a few seconds. He whispered something in her ear and then Alice came to stand in front of Carm. With a smile on her face as she spoke, "Carm, I am going to make this a bit more fun for a few of us. I promise Jasper will not interfere with this but we all want to have some fun right now. So just sit still and don't attack me."

Within a second Alice was on Carm's back her hands placed over her eyes. Carm smiled then asked. "Alice, how am I supposed to see who we are meeting if you have your hands over my eyes?"

Jasper placed his hand on Carm's shoulder, "Try to use your other senses besides your sight. You have a pile of them, I think your sense of smell might be the most helpful. Give it a minute our guest should be here in a few seconds."

Sam walked into the clearing, "You guys are being mean to her not letting her see me. Or is this some kind of thing that you are planning on doing to help everything happen your way."

"Nah. We just wanted to have some fun. Come close to her, it is needed that she is able to rely on her other senses besides her sight. When following us when we are hunting she will need the other ones. This is just a nice way of making the other senses come out. Besides the point that she already does know you it should not be that hard."

Sam came closer to Carm so there were only a few inches between their two bodies.
