Rose's POV (For once)

After the pack left Bella and I stayed with Carter answering all her questions and concerns she had.

"Why did she leave?" Carter asked

"I don't know sweetie I didn't join Carlisle until after they meet the first pack." I replied. Carter huffed and covered her eyes with her arm.

"Bella put your shield up." I whispered.

"Why?" She asked confused.

"Just do it." I waited until she gave me a nod that it was up.

"Carter I know you better than you think and right now we have about 15 minutes of freedom before Bella gets tired." I whispered harshly to her.

"I see him. I can feel him watching and I can feel him. And they all seem to not even care." Carter rushed.

"Who?" Bella asked.

"My father." Carter whispered

"Carter you can't be sure." I replied.

"I'm sure. The last vision I had it was him leaving my mother and I with a sad expression. And it feels like he's watching me waiting since the visions have started..."

"Waiting for what?" I asked scooting to the edge of my chair.

"I'm not sure since I was sedated I've haven't really had anymore." She says sitting up. Bella and I looked at each other.

"So they've stopped?" Bella asked. Carter just nodded. "You need to tell Carlisle or Edward they may be over for good." Bella reasons.

"I don't think so. When I was sedated I thought back and I could remember them all. It almost felt like I was actually there talking and interacting with what was going on." Carter replies.

"Maybe but even still you need to tell Carlisle and Edward." I replied.

"Rose." Bella whispered telling me she needed a break.

"Look just don't think about it. Bella and I will figure something out." Carter nodded and I nodded for Bella to let her shield down.

"What's going on with them?" Carter asked nodding. I turned and watched through her window a heated disagreement among the pack.

"I'm not sure. Do you want them in here?" Bella asked as we watched Carter's expression.

"No." She says.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"I'm sure." She says nodding her head. I got up and walked out closing the door behind me.

"She doesn't want to see you guys." I whispered.

"What?" Sam asked

"She doesn't want to see you. I don't know why she just does not want to see you." I replied.

"Why? We're her family." Jacob says.

"I don't know that pup. I'm just the messenger." He just growled at me. I turned and walked back into Carter's room.

"I don't want to stay on the res. I want to stay with you guys." Carter says as I walked back over.

"We can arrange that if that's what you really want." Bella says. Carter nodded struggling to reach a cup of juice. Bella reached and handed it to her.

"Before we go talk to Carlisle, are you sure it's what you want to do?" I asked one last time.

"I'm sure." Carter says.

"Okay. Will be back okay?" She nodded.

"Is Leah here?" Carter asked as we started to leave.

"I'm afraid not sweetie." I replied she just nodded. Bella and I left to go off and find Carlisle and Edward.

Luckily Carlisle seen as we approached the nurse station.

"What's wrong?" He asked. I pulled my father's arm for him to cross the hall with us.

"She doesn't want to stay on the res." I whispered.

"Is she sure?" Bella and I nodded. "How sure is she about us?"

"She's pretty sure. Even if Edward was with us I know she's sure. I've never seen her so sad." I replied to my father.

"Carlisle she needs to get away for awhile." Bella says backing me up.

"I'll page Edward and Call Alice." We both nodded. "I'll talk to Sue and Billy but for now just sit with her." We nodded again and headed back to Carter's room.

When we reached her room we were surprise to Carter had gotten up with no help and sat in her window ledge.

"You okay?" Bella asked. She just nodded.

"Well Carlisle is calling Alice and paging Edward before he goes to talk to Sue and Billy about your living arrangements." I said. Carter nodded and stared out the window putting her head on her knees.


Edwards POV

I was finishing up with a patient when my beeper went off. I glanced down at it only to see '911' from Carlisle. I left quickly and meet up with him at the Nurses station.

"Hold on. I'll talk once Alice gets here." I could see he was hiding something, he was saying the Martin Luther King speech and the bible over in his head.

"Dad." I sighed. He just smiled at 5 minutes later.

"Okay, Carter wants to stay with us." He stated.

"Okay." I said unsure after a minute "So why is Alice here?"

"I'm here because Carter will be staying for awhile."Alice claps.

"How long are we talking?" I asked.

"2 maybe 3 months max."Alice says closing her eyes for a moment.

"Look she feels betrayed and it's no way to convince her to stay with Sue. She has made up her mind."Carlisle says. 'We need to let the rest know. I'll call them so we all can talk.' I nodded.

"I'll go check on Carter, yes you can come to Alice." I and we headed towards Carter's Room.

'She's going to like it with us, you know?'Alice asked. I just nodded. 'You don't look so happy.'

"I'm worried mostly for Rose and Esme. Their like Carter's second mom and sister, I don't want them to be hurt when she leaves." I whispered.

'They'll be fine. I've seen it.' I just nodded once more as we came to Carter's in first. I stayed behind to talk with the pack.

"Why won't she talk to us?" Sam demanded

"Sam calm down, its Carter is feeling betrayed. She's at war with herself and if we rush her she'll push us all away." I replied.

"So what can we do?" Billy asked.

"You've told her bits and pieces of the truth, you still need to tell her everything."

"Will it put her ease?" Jacob asked

"It may, it may not. Right now she's not at ease and the only people she seems to be talking to is us."

"Does she trust you guys?" Sam asked

"Enough."

'What does that mean?' they all asked confused, I saw Alice leave for a moment.

"Enough with her life and living arrangement."

"She wants to leave us?" Billy asked.

"Before you get upset she just wants to be at peace with herself. Right about now living with you all won't help her heal it will only hurt her more." I replied.

"So what do we do?" Jacob asked.

"Tell her the truth but as of now that seems to only make her want to be with us more." I sighed. "Look just give me at least a month." I resort

"What about Seth and Leah? Hell Sue?" Jacob asked

"I know. That's why I said a month."

"Ok… but I'll give you 3." Billy says. "I'll talk to Sue and we'll have meeting to discuss this. Let's go boys." Billy says rolling off. I just walked into Carter's room.

"Hey Carter."

'Hey.' She whispered in her mind.

"What's wrong?"

'I don't want to leave with them.' She says angrily

"I've talk to them and Billy says it okay." Bella and Rose looked at me. I just nodded.

'So I get to leave with you guys?' She asked still staring out the window.

" Alice is here to talk to you about your room." I sighed standing by her.

'Okay.' She replies watching the birds fly. Rose brushed her fingers threw Carter's hair.

"Carter would you like to leave now?" I asked.

'Not just yet I want to watch the birds finish flying.' She tells me in awe.

"Bella, Rose can a have a word?" I whispered low enough for them to hear. They both got up and we walked to a few feet from Carter.

"We need to not overwhelm her and try to answer as many questions she asks. She's in a fragile state."

"What if we try to keep her busy?" Rose suggest

"It may work but knowing Carter, she really has to be in the mood to do whatever you plan on doing for her." Alice popped in with a teddy bear for Carter.

"Alice…" I hissed

'I've got it.' She shouts in her head. I sighed.

"Carter, we got you something."Alice says standing behind Carter.

"What?" Carter asked curious.

"It's really from Emmett he had to work so he asked that I bring you this."Alice says handing the teddy bear to Carter.

"It's pretty." Carter murmurs more to herself. She ran her fingers over the fur and then smiled.

"Thank you." Carter says still in awe.
