Jake POV

I watched as my son disappeared into the distance and sighed. How many times had I told him females were trouble? How many times had I warned him...they were all the same. They wanted your heart, so that they could tear it out, or grasp it in their talons like a precious gem that they had no intention of not breaking. I had learned this the hard way. And he would too, especially if she was one of them. Invariably, like it did every time I thought about them, my mind wandered to Bella… and in turn to the night, the one stupid misdemeanor, that changed my life forever. I still recalled how I had slunk away form Edward that day at their new house… the feeling that raced within when I finally truly knew she would never NEVER choose me. So I gave up and crawled, depressed and mentally beaten, into the awaiting arms of Leah Clearwater. I can still recall how it felt for her to touch me. Everywhere she even skimmed with her fingers burned like molten lead. And I welcomed the feeling, the immense pain, because the more I was inside myself, the less I was pinning over Bella. The more I was inside Leah, the less I though about anything but how wrong it felt to be with her. Two months later Leah disappeared. Eight moths after that, I found a whimpering Ahanu on my porch, a note strapped to his blanket. (So yes, you guessed it; Leah is Jake's baby mama ;)…)

Edward POV

As a vampire it is very rare that I am at fear's mercy. There are only two people who can bring me there…my daughter and my wife. I was close to hyperventilating. Why was I just sitting here? Somewhere out there in these woods, my child was in trouble. I tried desperately to calm my breathing, attempting not to assume the worst of the silence from the other end. Suddenly I gasped out the breath I had been holding hearing Zane's manic scream of "JUST DRIVE!" from the other end, accompanied by the reassuring sound of a revving engine.

"Daddy..." I sighed.

"Are you okay?" I asked quietly. I could here the murmur of someone else on her side, but I ignored that for now; intent on my daughter's safety.

"Yeah…Yeah, I'm fine… I-I got out." I picked up the scared tone in her voice.

"Are you sure? What's wrong?"

"Umm… how much trouble am I in?" I could have laughed. Here I was, worried about her life. And she was worried about her punishment.

"Meet me up route 14. We can talk about an adequate penalty later. Just don't expect to leave the house for years. If your aunt doesn't kill you first." I heard her sigh and hang up. Soon enough a car came speeding down the road only to swerve when it caught sight of me waiting on the side. It stopped in front of me and Zane stumbled out of the passenger side and over to my car. After grabbing her into a hug and assuring that she was okay, I gestured to her to get into the car and then turned to her chauffer. He leaned on his hood, eyeing us with amusement and curiosity.

"So you're the vampire that's playing with his food." He murmured. I growled at him under my breath.

"Shut up Jesse…" Zane muttered from where she stood, hovered beside the Volvo.

"Jesse smirked, but his mouth shut.

"And you're the fool who took my daughter to meet a pack of werewolf." I retaliated, looking at this Jesse with disgust. His smirk fell at this and he looked to my daughter for confirmation.

"You were meeting werewolves?!! Is that what that boy was?!...a…" he was looking at her with a mixture of surprise and repulsion. Her eyes widened at his words.

"Shut up Jesse!!!!!!!" she screamed at him, her eyes swiveling to me in the most suspicious way. What was she afraid that I would figure out?...

"What boy?" I asked Jesse, my eyes tapering. He looked at me and then Zane, a smirk forming on his face.

"It's not my place to tell…" Zane breathed a sigh of relief. "just don't be surprised if you end up with bi-specieal grandbabies. Man, those would be some fucked up kids. Wont know whether to attack you with claws, or drink your blood." With that he turned and, stepping into his car, drove off. Bi-specieal?... Zane stood behind me still, her eyes burning holes into Jesse's retreating figure.

"Before you kill him…" I began, grabbing her attention. "Did he mean what I think he meant?" she shook her head, as if brought out of a dream and seemed to think something quickly over in her head.

"Just… ignore him dad. He's an idiot." I sighed and rolled my eyes, realizing that I was going to get no more out of her. I slid into the driver's seat, wondering what happened to the time when I actually knew what was going on.

Mystery POV

I cackled madly, watching them drive off. The plan had already been set in motion. So easily… it was almost too simple. I could mold their emotions as I chose, bend them to see it my way, I knew I could. It was only a matter of time... but how much did I have? How much before it was to late… the plan had to be set in motion… and soon.

So soon. I brushed away my thoughts and spun around, walking off into the forest humming to myself. It is only a matter of time before snow white falls for my apple... and when she does, prince charming wont be around to save her.

Okay, I know it's kinda short but I been trying to post it for forever. I just sent out the sneak peaks and then the chapter wouldn't go up…. Plus my life's been a little hectic. But I won't bore you with that.
