This is chapter 10 of a story I am writing called Maria's Return. Maria just showed up at the Cullens' house in the middle of that night while Carlisle and Jasper go out to find her. Alice was following the two of them to warn them about Maria. The three of them are heading back now. So here is chapter 10.

At the Cullen's house (Maria is there, but not Carlisle, Jasper, or Alice)

"I can't take this anymore. These things are driving me crazy. I can't help it anymore. Maybe you guys are better than me. I don't care. Think what you will. I'm giving up." Maria yelled when she walked inside the Cullen's house.

Esme, Rosalie, and Emmett all looked confused, so Edward explain. "The other vampires. The ones she was creating. She can't take them any more. She thinks that we think that we are better than her and that's why we live together."

Meanwhile in the woods with Carlisle, Jasper, and Alice

"Jazz, it will be okay. I seeing what is going on. She won't hurt anyone." Alice spoke for the first time in a while.

"You don't know her Alice. She can change her mind in a split second." Jasper told her.

"I'll guess we know now. We're here." Carlisle added. He didn't want them to fight. They were the worst they fought, but they didn't do it often. Everyone suffers when they do, though.

The three ran into the house to find a very confused group of people. Maria was the only one in the group not at all confused.

There was silence for a couple of minutes while everyone tried to figure out the situation. Finally Carlisle spoke, "Can someone please explain what is going on?" At the same time Esme gave Alice a questioning look. "Alice?"

That was when everyone started talking at once. Emmett and Edward telling them what Maria had. Esme and Rosalie questioning Alice about where she was and why she decided to leave. Maria trying to explain herself.

"Quiet." Carlisle told everyone in a calm voice. "One at a time. Edward, what is going on here?"

"Maria is jealous, because we can all live so close together without really fighting. She created many new vampires to prove to us she can live close to many vampires too."

"Thanks Edward. Now one person tell me why your confused."

Esme answered, "That seems a little crazy? No one can be that crazy."

Maria gave her a mean look and told Esme, "I'm that crazy. You got a problem with that?"

This got everyone yelling at once. This went on for a few minutes. Until Jasper looked down at Alice and felt stress coming out of her. "Quiet!'' he yelled. "Why do you care about us anyway, Maria? Why can't you just leave?"

Everyone quieted down. They looked to her for the answers. She answered, "Honestly I don't know. I don't care anymore. I'm leaving. Don't worry I leave you alone in the future." She was gone.
