Not much with this chapter, but it's a chapter! I was gonna make it longer but I decided to break it off.


Irina watched as the forty foot long dragon finished off the last of those foul smelling creatures. At one point she was afraid they were too much for her mate to handle, when they all started jumping on her back and crowding her but Isabella had taken care of the one's on her back by rolling over...and the rest were taken apart by her sharp teeth. When Irina was sure that all of the creatures had come out to 'deal' with Isabella, she ran inside to find Heidi and Felix. But what she found was horrible, it was like a cheesy Hollywood film with a budget cut coming to real life. There were clear body bags all around the room, laying on dozens of morgue tables with tubes sticking out of their bodies from head to toe. Irina paced through the isles in horror... there were humans and vampires alike on these tables. Blood and venom being pumped into the tube lines, that lead to the IV bags attached under the table. It was...disgusting on many levels. Some of the humans and vampires looked fresh off the street...and others looked more than a hundred years old. They resembled skeletons with flesh...flesh that seemed to ooze between the open spaces the bones provided, with their eyeballs still in their eye sockets and their teeth on full display. The effects the process had on vampires weren't as dramatic it was on humans, but the vampires that have been there the longest were showing signs with their cracked skin and stiff limbs. Irina was sure if she tried to, she could break their limbs off with a single breath. It was a scary, even for a vampire.

Irina found Heidi and Felix in the very last isle, they didn't look like the others. They looked normal but they were also unconscious. Irina checked their IV bags and saw they were both only half full, she quickly disconnected the plugs and ripped open the body bags they were in. since they were unconscious she had to throw them both over her shoulder and ran out of the building. She gently placed them on the ground and looked around. There was no sign of Isabella or the dead bodies and loose limbs.

Irina looked up at the sky but saw nothing but the gray clouds that were signaling the arrival of a new day. Suddenly Isabella came out running, she was back in her human form and had her black cloak on once again but Irina could tell she was naked and wet underneath it. She could smell the ocean water all over her skin and in her hair.

"Sorry, I had to get rid of the bodies and clean off...", Isabella panted when she reached Irina, then she looked down at Heidi and Felix, "I'm glad to see they're alive but what are those marks on their arms?"

"They had an IV attached to them, pumping the venom out of their bodies and into little bags beneath the tables they were on."

Isabella looked at Irina in alarm, "there was a needle inside a vampire?"


Jane sat in the backseat, arms crossed and staring out the window. She wasn't looking at anything in particular and her mind was a distance away. She was thinking about that human the Cullen's kept company with, Jane found herself thinking about her. She had no idea why that human was on her mind, there was nothing extraordinary about her but she was fascinating. She wondered why someone like her would even be hanging around the Cullen clan in the first place but then she remembered that she was just a mere human and she was probably charmed by their beauty and pathetic lifestyle. She smiled at the thought of whisking her away and showing her how to have real fun, not just sitting in front of the TV and eating. She would show the human girl a good night out in time. Janes smile grew into a grin, then she realized where her mind went and her grin turned into a deep frown.

"Jane are you listening to me?", Athena's tense voice broke through Janes odd thoughts.

Jane growled under her breath and rolled her eyes, "I'm sorry Athenodora what were you saying?"

Didyme glanced at Jane through the rear view mirror, but said nothing. Athena sighed and settled into the seat, she hated repeating herself. "I was saying that you will be going to high school with the Cullen 'children', and you and Isabella will address Didyme and I as your mothers understand?"

Jane snorted, and unfolded her arms. " I'm not going to that filthy school. Not by myself."

Didyme shrugged, "you won't be alone, Heidi Isabella and Felix will be going with you."

Jane's red eyes narrowed, "Isabella and Felix? What are they gonna do, be the senior pedophiles? They don't look eighteen Didyme, they look like college kids!"

Athena rolled her eyes and looked at Didyme with a smirk, "One for me, zero for you."

Didyme glared at Athena and Jane. "Okay so no high school for those two, but there is always college."

"College?", Athena said in surprise. "Aren't you taking this family cover a little too far?"

"We do have a cover story to uphold you jar head, and I refuse to have two lazy 'kids' of mine laying around all day...even if it's for pretend. Either they go to school, or get jobs."

Janes eyes widened and she burst into fits of laughter. She was starting to like this mission more and more already. "So where are we going?" she asked once she stopped laughing.

"Well, Betty Crocker bought us a house on the way here, so we are going to collect the key and move in."

"It's furnished and everything, it's very nice. It's not as big as the castle of course but it's big enough for all of us. And very private for us to..relax."

"Of course we have a perfect view of the Cullen manor as well."

Jane smirked, "I wouldn't call that a manor, but on to more important things... Isabella doesn't have a phone...how is she gonna know where to find us?"

Athenodora held up her pendant, "Homing device remember?"

Jane made a face but didn't say anything, she let her head fall back and allowed her thoughts to drift again as she closed her eyes.


Isabella exited the sweatshop looking paler than usual, with two handfuls of green shirts and other clothing. She dumped them next to Heidi and Felix's bodies. Irina finished forcing animal blood down their throats and looked up at Isabella with confusion, "what's all that?"

"college gear." Isabella replied, still sounding astonished. "They're using college kids as blood bags...huh."

Irina made a face and stood, with a shirt in her hands. "Forks university...that's horrible, college kids? That's so obvious though...I wonder if any missing reports have been filed for these kids."

Isabella shrugged, not caring at the moment. She looked down at her friends. "How are they?"

Irina dropped the shirt back into the pile and shook her head, "They responded a little bit but I think they'll be fine. We just have to wait until they regain consciousness on their own I guess."

"Okay."

"Where are we going from here?"

"I should assume back to forks...", Isabella stopped and gave Irina a peculiar look, "How do you feel about flying?"


The three vampires in the Audi finally arrived to the small town of forks. Jane was a bit that surprised that Didyme knew exactly where to go, she's never seen the vampire drive before let alone know directions. They drove past the Cullen residence and through the town, they ended up crossing over a bridge that Jane didn't even know about and went into the other side of the town. Jane saw the university as they crossed the bridge over the wider portion of the river. The university was bigger than the high school, and looked like an actual campus and not just a block of bricks. The campus wasn't huge, but it look real enough to pass as a college.

They continued to drive for a few more minutes before Didyme turned onto a white paved pathway that stood out amongst the green and gray colors this place seemed to ooze naturally. The drive way wasn't short but it wasn't long either, but once their new home came into view, both Athena and Jane sat up and said, "Holy shit" in unison.


Alright so...we are finally getting somewhere with these creatures...and we are getting somewhere every where else. also, I took all of your thoughts into deeeeeeeep consideration and I chose Beth's mate in this story. :D. Subtly I think.

Anyway, I think I will have loads of fun putting Bella and Felix in college. What kind of sports do you see them playing? I'm curious about your answers, they might benefit the story somehow. thanks!
