Carlisle tapped up my ribs and I felt a bit better until Alec told everyone else what had happened.

"I'll tear him to pieces!" Uncle Emmett exclaimed.

"I'm with ya, dad," Natalie and Tyler exclaimed together in their weird twin way.

"He won't get away with doing this to my neice," aunt Rose hissed.

"Why would he do such a thing?" Grandma questioned, concerned.

"It's a good thing you're a doctor, grandpa, because this Trevor guy will need one," Bree said sinisterly.

"I can't believe I didn't hear this," Edward pondered. "How is that even possible?"

"It's a snap decision each time, uncle Edward. He doesn't think he will hurt me until he does," I explained quietly, looking at the group sadly.

"Why didn't you tell us the first time this happened, Tami?" aunt Bella questioned.

"I didn't want you to hurt him. I don't want us to move because of me. I like it here," I rambled. Soon it was as if I was talking more to myself then to anyone in this room. "I just felt so weak. This human was able to hurt me. To make me feel so bad about myself. To make me question weither I deserved it or not. It reminded me of..." I shut my eyes and tried to banish the memories.

"Of what?" Grandpa asked. Natalie and Tyler looked to each other. They already knew the answer.

"It reminded me of the way my father treated me before I met you all." I opened my eyes and caught each of their expressions.

"He can never hurt you again, Tami," Natalie promised.

"I know but when he hit me I just had a relapse or flashback. I hated it. This was why I was in the woods that day Alec and Jane found me. Because I was scared."

"Oh, sweetheart..." grandma exclaimed as she hugged me, stroking my hair. "You don't have to be scared."

"I know," I breathed, "but now I need you all to promise what I made Alec promise me." Grandma let me go and I looked very seriously at each of my family members.

"Leave it alone and let me handle it."

"Tami..." most of them began. I cut them off.

"Please," I pleaded with enough firmness in my voice to let them know I was being serious.

"We promise," grandpa agreed with a warm smile.

"But," uncle Emmett continued, "if he even thinks of laying his hands on you again..."

"I know uncle Emmett. He will never touch me again," I said and secretly promised to myself. I wouldn't let him.

There was a moment of an awkward silence before I spoke again.

"Uh, well let's go train."

"Maybe you should take it easy for the rest of the day, sweetheart," grandma requested kindly. I nodded but followed them so I could watch as the rest of my family trained with the other covens.

Aunt Bella is an amazing fighter and add in the power that one of the new comers informed her she had, she was one kick ass vampire. If only I could fight like that, then I wouldn't be so afraid of Trevor.

There is something off about Trevor though. I just knew it. No normal human would have been able to hurt me like that. There was also something very familiar about him but I can't quite put my finger on it...

Samantha's POV

I was walking home from my bus stop as I normally did when I saw something that was abnormal in this usually routine act.

Trevor (the new bane of my existance) got off his bus and began walking straight into the woods by my house. What the hell is he doing? I thought he lived cross town? I narrowed my eyes and decided to follow him.

I secured my bag on my shoulder so it wouldn't raddle as I pursued him.

I tried to keep up with him the best I could but he was really fast. Finally after a few minutes of walking he stopped dead in his tracks. What is he doing?

"It's her," Trevor said to the trees. At least I thought he was talking to the tree until a woman jumped down from out of no where.

"And her family?" she asked expecantly.

"They don't seem to care too much. I was able to hurt her without them noticing. So getting her should be easy." What! Hurting Tami was a test?! What does he mean getting her?

"Good. Do you know the kind of power she holds? What we would be able to do with her by our side?" The woman asked, really not expecting an answer. Power? What the hell are they talking about? They had to be talking about Tami unless he has hurt other girls.

"What have our masters said?" Trevor asked next.

"Nothing yet. They're still preparing for the battle." Battle? "They want Alec as well." Alec? The new kid? Who wants him?

"I think Alec and Tami are mates. I've seen the way they've looked at one another." Mates? Who calls people mates?

"That makes it that much easier. If we can convince one of them to join us, the other will comply."

"And if we can't convince them?" Trevor asked.

"We force them."

"What about the other gifted children?" Gifted? How?

"If they join, fine. But if not, they will be killed as well," the woman said with no remorse or emotion.

Killed! What are the Cullens into that would get them killed?! My eyes widened and I took a step back. My foot made a crunching sound as I stepped on a peice of wood. I looked down at the broken stick and then back up. I now faced the woman who was inches from my face.

"Oh, Trevor. You brought me a snack. You shouldn't have," she said sweetly before turning back to me with hungry red eyes and sinking her teeth into my neck. I screamed and everything went dark.
