Chapter Ten: Great Mornings or is it

-Tara-

Tara felt more comfortable then she had ever felt in her life since her mother's death, she yawned stretching as she felt someone next to her she knew Emmett left late last night to probably feed and his clothes were changed, she smiled looking at him as he laid like a rock with his eyes closed, Tara knew vampires didn't sleep.

Tara giggled she was shocking herself every second at how daring she was becoming with Emmett especially showing her emotions and feelings in a open way she climbed onto Emmett's stomach and rested her chin on the back of her hands laying on his chest watching him.

Tara watched him intensely was it even normal for vampires to be that handsome, a grin flittered across Emmett's face as his dark liquid topaz eyes opened up watching Tara watch him "You know it's rude to stare" he responded, Tara shrugged "I was observing a different species" she retorted.

"Vampire" Emmett snorted, "Hmm a little bit but more of the male species" Tara said shyly looking away at the wall as if it was suddenly so interesting though Tara's eyes soon flickered back to Emmett's there was no way she could resist looking at him again and she just proved that.

Emmett laughed "I can help you with that", "Oh I hope so you do look like a male but you might be hiding something" Tara said sarcastically and joking, Emmett looked slightly startled, "Do you just give me cheek Miss Angelus" he faked being shock as a grin something Tara didn't like the look of that spread across his face.

"Yeah you bet Baby and that's not all" Tara said jumping off his body and the bed, sensing he was gonna go for his revenge, Tara didn't even wait she bolted out of the room and down the hallway chuckling as her heart raced at the thrill of what torture she might have to endure.

Suddenly massive arms circled around her body bringing her to a halt, Tara began squirming as she pouted "That's unfair you used your powers that isn't fair" she complained, Emmett pushed her against the wall playfully "Who said I would play fair" smirked Emmett, his face inches away.

-Emmett-

Tara's face was inches away and as much as her taunted him to kiss her and forget his revenge he fought that little pout on her lips, the color of her cheeks as she breathed raggedly, how her eyes bounced playfully and how her arms crossed across her chest in unhappiness.

Emmett noticed the fire ignite in Tara's eyes it was a powerful force that almost made him buckle as he saw the lust roll around in them as well as love for him, he would of kissed her but he had to get that sweet revenge now or he would be doomed to suffer under her enchanting lips.

Emmett pinned her arms above her head and Tara leaned forward her scent washing over him as it felt like it cleansed his soul like water did for dirt, he pulled away from her lips he saw the flash of hurt in her eyes but it was covered up she doesn't now how much he battles himself from kissing her.

"This is your torture you wont kiss me as I tease you" Emmett whispered in her ear she shivered against his body as her voice husky muttered "Emmett your evil" Emmett chuckled as he blew in her collarbone Tara shivered, her body heat rose as her heart raced and breathing slowed.

Emmett smiled as Tara glared at him fruitlessly as the lust rolled around in her eyes, the way her body rested against him as she was still pouting, he had to stay in control, Emmett leaned into her neck, and Tara's body reacted pushing herself against him making him grow silently.

He carefully nipped her neck, "Emmett mmm" Tara moaned and Emmett continued his slow torture enjoying the sounds he gathered from Tara and how her heart pace changed and temperature soared suddenly a cough caught Emmett's attention; he looked up annoyed at the interruption.

-Tara-

Tara didn't feel scared as Emmett went closer to her neck she was turned on as her face flushed at the knowledge what she was doing wasn't very smart especially with Emmett's parents around and disrespecting them but her body wasn't listening as she felt Emmett lightly nip on her sensitive part on her neck.

"Emmett mmm" Tara felt the moan escaped her lips as his slow yet pleasurable torture continued Tara pushed herself closer loving the feeling of his small nips on her neck, suddenly Tara heard a cough, Emmett stopped and Tara was saddened but her face flushed as Edward stood there looking amused.

Tara tried to push Emmett off but it was like trying to move a massive boulder and her attempts were sadly unfounded as Emmett looked at Edward who laughed as he said 'Emmett I was trying to wonder why Jasper looked so flustered then I saw your mind and knew he was picking up your sexual urges'.

Tara went redder, 'Jasper can sense our emotions' Tara said embarrassed and feeling bad for him after feeling what she just did then it clicked Edward could read minds, Tara almost died of embarrassment at the thoughts that ran through her mind oh god oh god she though not able to stare at Edward in the eyes now.

Edward laughed "Don't worry Tara, it's ok I just don't like to picture Emmett in that way or light" he pulled a little grossed out look, Emmett looked offended and said "You love it you little pervert", Edward whacked Emmett on the back of the head before running he was gone in a second, Emmett growled following.

Tara was walking down the hall when she ran straight into Jasper, she flushed in embarrassment as an awkward silence followed both of them standing there unsure what to say to one another, Tara thought Jasper was the most complicated one of the Cullen's and more reserved, which contradicted his wife Alice who was the total opposite, "Uh sorry I didn't know" Tara muttered.

Jasper smiled his first real smile at her and said "It's alright" both descended the staircase slowly, "So you sense emotions" Tara though that would be both cool and difficult, "Yes and when I first met you your emotions were very dead but Emmett makes your emotions like tidal waves its quiet strange".

"You don't like me very much" Tara whispered as they reached the bottom step, "No its not dislike I just take a bit to trust humans also I worry about your safety because I'm not that strong mentally and every time your with us your risk heightens now since Rosalie…" Jasper didn't finish.

Tara felt uncomfortable at the sound of her name, but she covered that up as she smiled at Jasper "I trust you and please when I say that it's a lot due to the fact I hardly trust anyone" Tara admitted hugging Jasper, he went stiff under her hug making Tara feel like she was hugging air, suddenly he tapped her shoulder.

Tara pulled away smiling as Jasper nodded a thanks disappearing out the front door as Tara headed for the kitchen, Esme was making pancakes Tara watched in envy remembering the mornings that her mother would make breakfast for her and her father and how Tara watched in admiration as her cooking was delicious.

Suddenly a memory seemed to cloud everything and sucked Tara in:

(Tara was a little girl wearing a pink pajama's with yellow ducks she remember those pajama's and a small teddy bear as she watched her mother making breakfast, the woman a spitting older image of Tara except for the brown bouncing hair, 'Mama" Tara said rubbing the sleep from her little eyes.

The woman turned a bruised face but she was still so beautiful to Tara as she smiled holding her arms out, Tara ran over being drawn into a hug as the familiar scent of fresh strawberries surrounded Tara, Tara began to sob as she clung to her mother, her mother comforted her.

"Its ok baby don't be so sad I love you" her mother whispered, "I love you to mummy" Tara whispered as her mother put her down, "Honey could you get me a wooden spoon" Tara always thrilled to lend her mother a hand with cooking, Tara grabbed the spoon and turned around, she screamed as the spoon slid to the ground.

There stood a monster where her mother had been, Tara grasped when she realized it was her mother her flesh rotting off, some bones showing as the stench of rotting corpse met Tara's nose, she began to sob as her mother stumble towards her in tattered clothes.

Her mother wailed in a horrible wheezing voice "You made me this way", Tara shook her head " No mummy I didn't", "YOU LITTLE BITCH YOU DID THIS" her mother screeched Tara winced shaking, "YOU KILLED ME" shouted Tara's mother, "No I didn't" Tara whispered wide eyed and frightened.

Another voice cackled and Tara as herself spun around as saw Rosalie standing there smirking, "My I'm so shocked killing your own mother" said Rosalie walking over towards Tara's rotting mother, "Stay away from her" Tara said panicked, "You should speak she safer with me then her own blood" taunted Rosalie.

"YOU KILLED YOUR OWN MOTHER" screeched Rosalie, Tara shook her head no, but Rosalie smirked "I see your doubt you killed your mother and you know it", Tara felt defeated yes Tara was the cause of her death; Tara broke down and sobbed as Rosalie chuckled menacingly.

"What will Emmett think of you a murderer" Rosalie taunted, "He will turn away, maybe even kill you because you such a pathetic smear on life", Tara looked up anger and hatred written on her face "Just because Emmett replaced you with a pathetic human, Rosalie does that get under your skin" Tara hissed.

Rosalie sneered slapping Tara across the face sending Tara flying she smacked hard into the ground her nose bleeding, Rosalie yanked Tara up by the hair roughly, "This is what will happen to your precious Emmett" Rosalie sneered, Tara saw Emmett's crumbled and destroyed body in front of her.

Tara felt like her soul had been ripped out "Emmett NOOOOO!" screamed Tara").

-Emmett-

Emmett was chasing Edward and was slowly gaining on his brother when he heard her scream "Emmett Nooo", Emmett came to a screeching halt as panic run through his entire body as he bolted towards the screaming which took him to their kitchen, Tara laid on the floor like in a dream screaming and writhing as if in pain, her eyes opened with this horrible murky white colored pupils.

It torn at Emmett's heart seeing the utter fear plastered across Tara's face, he kneeled down lifting her shaking and quivering body in his arms, "Tara… it's ok wake up please love wake up", Tara tried to get away from him scratching, kicking and screaming as if she was possessed by Emmett crushed her against his chest.

Suddenly the screaming and thrashing stopped as Tara's eyes went from the horrible cloudy white color to her deep electric violet blue color that was panicked, confused and fearful but when it landed on Emmett, Tara hugged him closely to her body sobbing "Your alive you're ok".

Emmett felt Tara kissed him desperately as she stroked his face as if it was some type of dream she was in, Emmett pulled her closer rubbing her back in comfort as Tara began sobbing again on his shoulder, "I'm fine I'm here" but Tara was muttering something like "I killed her" over and over again.

"Who... Who did you kill Tara" Tara visibly shook all over her eyes flooding with tears of guilt , pain and hatred, "He always said it was my fault, I believe them it is my fault, I killed her" she whispered frantic and scared, "Who did you kill" Emmett said worried she had her mind broken.

"My mother I killed her if I didn't make her promise she would came to my choir rehearsal she wouldn't of died in the car crash, she wouldn't be rotting in her grave, SHE WOULD BE HERE I WISH IT WAS ME I WISH I HAD DIED" Tara shouted in agony and grief, Emmett and the rest of his family looked at her shocked.

Emmett whispered as Tara's breathing was heavy "Tara it wasn't your fault people die in car crashes all the time your mother was unlucky that's fate of mortals" he said rubbing her back, Tara shook her head "I'm a murder they said so" she whispered frantically up at Emmett as if begging him to believe her.

"You're not a murder, it was a stupid mistake that could happen to anyone, who told you that it's your fault" Emmett asked, "My father says it all the time when he hits me" Tara said shivering, Emmett felt hatred boil from his core at Tara's father who he never met in his life how much he wanted five minutes with the pig.

Edward glared at Emmett but he didn't care, "who else?" asked Jasper looking slightly sea sick, "Rosalie she said you would turn away from me or kill me then she killed you Emmett I saw it" Emmett felt he would of destroyed everything in his path at the mention of her name but Tara's look held him in place.

"Tara it was an illusion, Rosalie is evil she will do anything to manipulate you" Emmett whispered Tara just nodded looking really exhausted, "Jasper, Alice, Edward follow me and stay close we need to see if Rosalie was close by" Carlisle muttered as the three followed him out the door.

"I hope they're going to be ok" Tara muttered fearful, "They will be fine dear" Esme said reassuring as Tara looked so frail and breakable in Emmett's arms, he laid her in the bed upstairs laying by her side stroking her face. "Tara I promise you I will not let her hurt you again, I love you and I will protect you if it's the last thing I do" he whispered to the sleeping form of Tara, his singer, his new beginning, his new life, his beloved.
