Problems

The jeep came to a stop for about the millionth time, only this time it shut off. 'Are we there?' I wondered as I sat up fully to look out the windshield. There was Edward's silver car, with him leaning against the driver's door.

"I'll be back in a second," Emmett told us as he was climbing out.

"What do you think they're talking about?" I asked Silas with curiosity.

"Emmett's curious about which road to take," he told me as he stared out the window, "That and Edward's coming into the Jeep. So I'll be coming back there with you."

'He got all that from just looking at them?' Silas saw my confusion.

"Emmett was talking about it on the way here," he told me assuringly, looking back with a grin.

"Yeah," I mumbled.

I hadn't been paying attention at all on the ride up so I didn't know half the things they had said. I was too worried about my brother and how stupid I felt. I was abandoning him and leaving him to die. Something told me that Carson was going to find him and I wouldn't have a brother anymore. 'He'll die too… just for some sick torture that a brother wants to put on his younger.' My eyes narrowed at the thought and then my eyes were directed to the back of the seat. From the corner of my eye, I could see Silas's worried expression.

"What's bothering you so much Faye?" he asked with a gentle, soothing tone.

"Nothing," I murmured, not looking at him.

"Now look at me when you say that," he mused.

"It's nothing," I repeated.

He was in the back seat with me quickly, trying to adjust my position. Silas had my feet on the floor and his hands on my shoulders, attempting to pull me against him. I reluctantly complied.

"You can't lie to me Faye," he whispered into my ear, "I believe I've gotten pretty good at reading how you're feeling… so stop worrying about your brother. There wasn't anything that we could have done for him."

'Why does he keep saying that? Why does he make it sound like I should be giving up on my brother?'

"I guess," I mumbled, looking ahead as he rested my head against his shoulder.

I couldn't believe that I would have rather concentrated on my bloodlust then the thought of abandoning my brother like I was. I found it sad how my mind wouldn't let me.

"I'm sorry Faye, but there isn't anything we could have done for him except giving him warning."

I hated how I knew he was right, but I couldn't resist the urge to want to try, even if it was completely hopeless. 'You're such a hopeless fool.' I told myself effortlessly.

Emmett and Edward came into the Jeep at that moment and it came to life quickly.

"We'll be there shortly," Edward assured us, probably trying to ignore the dark thoughts that were lingering on and mine and Silas's conversation.

"Sure," I said quietly, turning my eyes out the window.

"I thought I said no moping," I heard Emmett grumble to himself.

'No one ever said I was moping!' I thought defiantly before the Jeep hit a rock and my head hit Silas's chin forcefully. A small laugh escaped me as I leaned away and looked at him, trying to be serious.

"I'm sorry," I laughed, trying to hold it back.

He wasn't holding it back. One look at my face and he started to laugh.

"It's only my chin," he laughed.

I shook my head and tried to look away without laughing but then we hit another bump and I hit my head off the roof of the Jeep. I held my sides and burst out with laughter. This was most enlightening for the rather dark mood. I could even hear Edward chuckling slightly. Emmett was laughing at us and our stupidity. I was still such a child.

"You don't even know why you're laughing," Edward mused with a smile in his tone.

"Probably… not," I laughed, leaning against Silas for support.

He wrapped an arm around me and held me closely to him. 'I just think it's really funny.'

The mood had lightened as the car drove on, even as the laughter died slightly. Emmett and Edward had their own conversation going while we sat quietly and listened to them. They had their own little laughs that made me smile slightly. It reminded me of how Adam and I had had our funny conversations that turned into pinning me to the couch and suffocating me with a pillow while he tickled me relentlessly. I had laughed so hard that I couldn't breathe. '…He won't be able to do that anymore…'

My mood fell slightly at the thought, but my eyes widened slightly as the bumpy ride was over and the Jeep was off.

"We're here!" Emmett said proudly with a wide grin.

"Yay," I laughed slightly as I pulled out of Silas's hold to get out.

When I got outside, I saw that we were outside a forest where there was a small trail to follow. 'Have they been here before?' I cocked a brow when an arm wrapped itself around my waist and pulled me close.

"Have you even been camping before?" Silas asked quietly into my ear.

"Probably more than you have," I said with a slight smirk, "Three times every summer."

"I wouldn't doubt that you have," he mused into my ear, "I never got to go camping that much in my childhood."

"Come on you two, we're heading out," Emmett's voice broke through our conversation.

We turned and Silas was thrown a backpack and I a tent. 'I guess we have to carry our own weight…' We began walking along the trail and I could hear Edward and Emmett talking.

"You didn't just come here for bears did you?" Edward asked with a cocked eyebrow.

"There are other things!" Emmett protested, "There are wolves, mountain lions, bears, deer, moose, and mountain goats."

"I get it," Edward mused while shaking his head slightly.

'…Bears? They have wolves and mountain lions here? We'll get pummeled.' The whole idea of someone taking down a bear was crazy… but it sounded like fun at the same time.

"Mountain goats," Silas scoffed with a smirk.

"Yeah, not much of a challenge there," I laughed as we walked along.

"They're actually fun," Emmett said with a grin, "So long as you go head to head with one they'll put up a fight."

'Oh god… This is going to be some kind of hunting trip… It's going to be very interesting.' I laughed to myself as we walked on. I couldn't wait to get started. My thirst was getting a little out of control and I knew I couldn't keep it in check for much longer. It was hard spending a night in a house without anything.

We went up a hill before arriving at the open area where we were staying at. I set the tent down and opened the bag swiftly before something popped up and hit me in the head. Silas let out a laugh and I began to laugh as well. My head seemed to be a target today.

"Stupid poles," I laughed as I pulled them out of the tent bag.

I pulled out the tent and the tarp to cover it. 'I wonder why they brought tents though… It's not like we need them.' It wasn't like I was complaining. I'd rather be dry in a tent than spending an entire camping trip out in the rain or some other form of precipitation. 'It would be fun to have a snowball fight though…' That caused a grin to form on my face as I set the tent up with Silas's help. He had a backpack as we set up and then he took it into the tent with him.

"What's in the bag?" I asked with a cocked eyebrow.

"I think just some blankets. I don't know why Emmett would pack them but I guess he did," Silas said with a cocked brow as well.

"It looks better than an empty tent," I told him with a smile.

"It's true."

There was something about Silas's tone that made me feel bad… He sounded as if he was sad in some way; like he was hurting. 'I don't like that tone in his voice… I don't want him to feel bad.'

"What are you thinking about?" I asked quietly.

He didn't look at me as he sighed slightly.

"A lot of things," he told me as he pulled a blanket from the back pack.

"Like what?"

"…things about you. About what I've done to you," he began slowly, trying to put his thoughts into words, "Like how it's my fault that your brother's life is in danger… and how you're suffering at this moment."

"Why is my brother your fault?" I asked with a cocked eyebrow.

He was quiet for a moment before wincing slightly. 'Is that why he's being so quiet?'

"Carson is making you suffer because he wants to torture me. Your pain is my pain and I love you so much… I hate knowing the fact that you can't help your brother right now," he explained, staring hatefully at the ground, "You're in pain because you're with me…"

"Stop lying," I said rather coldly, "I'm not in pain because of you. You mean pretty much everything to me. I'm not broken because I am with you."

I had pain in my voice, which drew Silas's dark eyes to my orange ones and he looked almost ashamed.

"You're not making my life worse. I'm here right now… I'm sane because of you."

Silas was up on his feet in a second and was only a few inches away.

"Faye I… I'm really sorry," he whispered, resting his forehead against my shoulder before taking hold of the side of my shirt.

I patted his back gently.

"Are you two ready yet?" Emmett called from outside the tent.

"Yeah… just a second," I called back, "You should go hunt, Silas. I think I prefer your eyes red than black."

"Yes… that would probably be best."

"No probably," I corrected with a slight smirk, "It is the best."

With my smirk on my face, I took his hand before leading him out of the tent. 'This should be fun. I like hunting wolves.' Emmett had a wide grin on his face as he turned to look at the forest. By his expression alone, you could tell that he was excited.

"Okay, let's go," Edward stated before taking off into the forest.

"Stay away from the left side of the forest," Emmett told us, "The town's in that direction."

Then he too was gone.

I let go of Silas's hand and smirked slightly. 'We'll just have to stay to the right die of the forest then.'

"Ladies first," Silas told me with a smile.

I crouched down slightly before tying my hair back in a ponytail. I took off into the trees, letting my instincts take over my senses. Many new, stronger scents filled my nose. The venom flowed through my mouth and I could taste it perfectly; making the blood lust stronger.

For a moment, I slowed before stopping and crouching down to wait. There was something close by, but I didn't want to get too close incase I 'scared' it away. I didn't know how far I'd gone, but I knew I wasn't close to camp anymore.

The branches behind me cracked and I turned to see a large brown bear standing on its hind legs. It didn't look impressed at all. It was growling hatefully, reminding me so much of the wolf that had attacked me when I was human.

"Oh wow, a bear," I laughed slightly, looking at its fangs.

Its claws flexed slightly with anger and I crouched down slightly. 'This should be interesting… I've never fought a bear before.' The bear jumped at me and I moved to the side before it jumped at me again. The bear's jaw was close to my chest, trying to get a hold of my flesh. I had my right hand on the bottom jaw, holding it open.

"What's your problem?" I hissed at it darkly, "I didn't do anything to you!"

It growled hatefully at me and I rolled, pulling the bear to the side. Once it was on its side, I got to my feet and crouched to pounce. 'Come on big fella… you know you want a piece of the vampire.' The bear got back to its feet – standing on all fours – and looked at me with its dark eyes.

"You're just grumpy," I murmured to myself.

I hissed at the brown bear and moved to the left a little bit. The bear followed with a growl in its throat.

I launched myself at the bear, fangs ready to pierce the furry flash. The venom was dripping from my fangs and I could taste it in my mouth. 'I have to get closer…' Before I was close enough to get my mouth on the throat, the bear knocked me to the side. I rolled across the ground – backwards – before landing on my feet. 'Ow. He's not playing very nice.' Gritting my teeth together, I got ready to attack again. I climbed into a tree, sitting on a branch high enough out of the bear's reach. When it got on its back legs, I jumped down to wrap my arms around its neck. 'Sorry buddy.' I sank my fangs deeply into the furry neck and drank the warm fluid relentlessly. I could feel the bear's heartbeat slowly fading as it tried to struggle away. It was futile to try to get away.

Once I was sure the bear was dead, I pulled my fangs away from the throat and wiped the blood from my lips with the back of my hand. I licked the blood off my hand before looking at the motionless body of the bear.

"Sorry big guy, it was worth it," I whispered before taking off into the forest.

I didn't know where Silas had gone, but I knew that he was somewhere. He wouldn't go too far away though, I knew he wouldn't.

"Faye," his voice said from behind me.

'Speak of the devil.' I mused as I stopped to look at him.

"I smelt blood, so I thought I better come check," Silas said with a small smile.

His red eyes were a bit lighter, which meant that he too had caught something.

"Just a grumpy old bear," I told him with a smirk.

There was a ring and Silas looked at his pocket with confusion.

"I shouldn't get reception out here…" he murmured to himself, pulling out his phone.

He looked at it for a moment before sticking his hand out to me.

"It's your brother," he told me with a small smile.

'Adam!' I lunged for the phone and answered it immediately.

"Hello? Adam?" I questioned.

"Faye, what's going on?" Adam asked me, confusion clear in his voice.

"Adam?"

There was a slight shuffle in the background, followed by a slight laugh.

"He's not going to be your brother for much longer Faye. He's lost a lot of blood," Carson's voice laughed on the other side of the phone, "It's already been a few hours since I reached him. I wonder how he'll adjust to my way of being a vampire."

"What? You bit my brother?" I growled hatefully into the phone.

"He tasted… very sour," Carson commented with amusement, "How strange that you could taste so sweet and him so sour. I wonder what happened there."

"I swear I'll kill you," I hissed into the phone.

"Come home to Cobourg in four days. We'll be waiting for both of you."

The phone went dead and I growled hatefully at both myself and Carson.

'That bastard… How dare him…' I clenched my left fist before giving the phone back to Silas.

"What did he say to you?"

"He got to my brother... Adams's going to be joining us in a few days, only he's not going to be friendly anymore."

Silas looked at me apologetically as he took a step towards me.

"Faye, I'm sorry…"

"Why should he have to share our fate?" I asked quietly, staring at the forest floor, "I don't mind being a vampire, I really don't… But I don't think that Adam wants to give up his life yet…"

My orange eyes stared solemnly at the ground. 'I don't want to see him kill people… He's too gentle for something like that. I know we don't really get along sometimes but still…'

"Were you willing to give up your life when you lost it?" Silas asked me, his eyes brooding.

His tone made me look at him and his expression made me sad. It didn't matter how many times I said it… the fact of what he had done to me would always hurt him.

"I thought I was going to be killed by a wolf, Silas. There wasn't anything for you to do that the wolf wasn't going to do. I would have died either way," I told him gently, "Stop blaming yourself for everything."

I placed my hand on Silas's cheek and held it in my palm. 'I'm not going to let things go like this… Once I see Adam in four days, I'll let him know that he doesn't have to live that way… Silas will have to learn that he can't blame himself like this; that I don't blame him.'

Silas wrapped his arms around my torso and pulled me close to him.

"I'm sorry," he whispered into my ear, "I'm sorry for everything… but I love you."

"It's alright Silas," I whispered, "Let's keep hunting."

He let go and took a few steps to go in the opposite direction. Before he got too far away, I grabbed his wrist to stop him.

"Wait," I whispered, pulling him back, "… I love you too."

In a moment, his lips touched mine and they hovered there for a few seconds.

"I'll meet you back at camp," he told me before disappearing.

My fists clenched at the loss of his presence and I started to wish that I could have been better for him. I wasn't good at all. I was horrible. What kind of girlfriend was I? All I did was remind him of what he had done and how much he resented what he was.

"You're so stupid," I hissed at myself before taking off into the trees.

Silas's P.O.V.

I ran through the trees quickly. Everything about being a vampire… I swore that the speed and the strength were the greatest. Immortality was nice, but sometimes it was more painful than it should have been. I believed that it should have been easy for us to die than it actually was.

"She's far too kind," I murmured before stopping.

'There's something here… I know there is.' I paused before sniffing the air slightly. 'Wolf… I'd know that smell anywhere. I remember it so much better than I used to.' I knew why I remembered it so much better now… the memory of that day was burned into my mind. The smell of the forest, the smell of her fear and blood… the scent of the wolf. Everything remained in my mind from that day… Even the discussion with my brother beforehand.

A week ago…

I saw at home, almost spending the entire time staring at the clock. I was waiting for it to be at least after ten in the morning. 'It's a Saturday and Faye seems like the type of person that would want to sleep in every day…' I wanted to watch her from outside her house; keep an eye on her. I knew I would seem like a stalker, but I couldn't help it. That human girl… the one I barely knew… there was something about her that interested me more than anything. 'She's lonely and won't admit to it… Other people's happiness comes first.' I shook my head slightly, only stopping when I heard laughter.

There were two ways to come into the living room. Right where the front door was, you could see the two reclining chairs sitting with their backs to the upstairs stairway. In front of those - across the room - was a black leather couch with its back against the wall. Right beside it sat the television stand with two DVD players and an old N64. Beside the living tom was another archway that went to the dinning table that was never going to be used.

Carson sat on the couch and looked at me with a smirk on his face.

"What do you want Carson?" I asked coldly, not looking at him.

His loose black t-shirt hung from him easily as he watched.

"To know what you're waiting for," he stated simply.

'Just five more minutes…' My fingers subconsciously gripped at the fabric of the black chair.

"I'm waiting to leave," I told him, closing my red eyes.

"And where would you leaving to?" he continued with amusement.

"Out."

Carson laughed while shaking his head.

"Is this about that human of yours?" he asked with a dark smirk, "Are you waiting so you can lead her into a trap and devour her?"

'Devour Faye… I had considered it at lunch yesterday while we were in the cafeteria. I really don't want to see her motionless…'

"Yeah, whatever you want to think," I told him as I got to my feet to put my shoes on.

"If you're going then I want to meet her and watch," Carson said lightly before he appeared in front of me.

I shoved him to the side before slipping my shoes on.

"She won't find out I'm even there or what I am," I stated, opening the door, "there'd be no point in coming."

"What would you do if she did find out? Would you have what it takes to take her from the world?" he asked almost mockingly, "Or would I have to do it for you?"

For a few moments I paused. 'What would I do?' My eyes glared hatefully to the left as I found my answers.

"I'd kill her."

Present

'I was such an idiot… I led her into this by allowing that bastard to follow me at all.' My red eyes looked around the area before I caught sight of the tan and white wolf sniffing about the trees.

"There you are," I whispered, silently creeping closer to it.

Every few steps I would pause and wait before going closer. I was at its side as it was sniffing a tree warily. A growl formed in my throat, which caused and look in my direction.

"Come on pup," I hissed, watching the mammal closely.

The wolf's eyes a yellow colour that reflected the light. They stared at me fiercely as it bared its canine teeth. 'You won't win this battle.'

I lunged at the wolf – baring its fangs – only to have it quickly dodge to the side. It pounced at me, paws on my chest as it took hold of my arm with its jaw. Turning to the side, I beat the wolf's back off a tree trunk once before catching its throat in my jaw. The blood began to flow through the light fur as I felt the liquid go down my throat. The warm liquid settled me in a way that I never thought possible. 'At least it's not fighting as much as that stupid goat was.' I thought as I sank my fangs in deeper. The wolf had been clawing at my chest with its paws until it was no longer alive. That was when I let go.

I could remember how reluctant I was to release Faye's throat when Marco had told me to. I had not wanted to stop either…

"I'm glad I did."
