A/N: So sorry that this is late! I was sick and couldn't write and then when I was finally feeling up to it again my laptop somehow got a virus and it deleted most of my data, the original copy of this chapter included. Anyways,this chapter is slightly AU. Instead of coming to the Cullen's house, Laurent decided to hunt along with James and Victoria which means that eventually, later on in new moon, he won't come across Bella in the field because he will of never been with the Denali Coven.

Previously:

The next morning was both amazing and terrible. It was amazing because I had gotten through a whole two nights in a row without any nightmares and I pretty sure that's a new personal record for me. It was terrible because when I woke up Edward was already gone -Jazz said that he left early so that he could take Bella to school- and I felt slightly off.

…

As I turned away I was suddenly hit with a wave of nausea and a killer headache.

I leaned against the window hoping that its cool touch would help even if only slightly. I didn't know a headache could come on that fast but here I was and there was no way I was going back home. If I did I would probably end up having to repeat my sophomore year because of all the school that I missed.

…

I had put my head down when the headache had gone from bad to unbearable and I had tuned out the teacher.

Apparently, that hadn't been a good idea because now Mr. Thomas was standing in front of my desk his arms crossed, a look of annoyance on his face.

"Miss Cullen, are you going to answer my question or do I have to give you detention for sleeping in class?"

"I, uh, I'm sorry sir I didn't hear the question but I wasn't asleep." I wasn't, right?

"If you weren't asleep then you would have heard the question the first three times I asked it. Detention, the next three days."

…

Just then what I assume was the bell rang but I can't really be sure because, to me at least, it felt like someone was trying to stick a thousand needles in my head.

…

"Really, detention?" Her tone was exasperated and a bit disappointed.

…

"Come on, we have to get food for the human," she teased and I smiled slightly but shook my head.

"Not hungry," I whispered wincing ever so slightly from my headache.

…

"…Beth! Elizabeth!"

I looked up at Rosalie's low yet angry voice.

I wondered what she was mad about until I noticed that both of Rosalie's hands we frozen to the table as she get out of the ice without drawing attention.

…

I focused on making the ice go away for a minute but it only went further up her arms until it reached just passed her wrist.

I opened my mouth to tell her that it wouldn't go away but nothing happened. I stayed sitting there completely still.

What was happening to me?!

…

Suddenly Alice gasped and I looked at her. She had the glossy look in her eyes that she always had when she had a vision.

"Elizabeth, what did you do?!" She sounded both worried and scared at the same time. What had I done?

"What is it?" Jasper's arm was instantly around her as she leaned into his side.

"It's gone. Her future's gone."

"It's gone. Her future's gone," Alice's voice was panicked and the suddenly Edward was standing behind her, his hand on her shoulder.

"I can't-"

"Hear her thoughts," Alice cut him off before looking pointedly at me. "What did you do?"

I wanted to tell her that I had no clue what had happened and that I was just confused as she was but instead when I opened my mouth something completely different came out. "I didn't do anything. Maybe your stupid powers are just broken."

"Elizabeth!" Edward scolded, dropping his voice so that no one would hear him.

"What? It's not my fault. Maybe you just aren't even good enough to be vampires."

What was I saying!? I don't feel that way!

"Elizabeth. Stop. Now," Emmett spoke as he gently, for a vampire, removed Rosalie's hands from the ice.

"How about I do whatever I want and you" -not me, me looked around at my family- "stop trying to be my family. I had one of those but I was taken by Carlisle into a house full of vampires who just put me in danger, for what?! Entertainment?!" I stood up and walked away but not before I saw the looks of hurt that flickered across my siblings' faces.

Please, Stop! Whatever's happening to me, please stop!

"Elizabeth, come back here now!" Edward's voice was practically a growl and it lacked any emotion what so ever.

I felt a tear run down my face as I walked out of the cafeteria of blissfully unaware kids.

I had no clue where I was going or why this was happening.

Was I about to die? Was that why Alice could no longer see my future?

I was so absorbed in my own thoughts that I hadn't noticed imposter me had stopped until I heard someone speaking.

"Well, would you look at that Victoria, Aro was right."

The speaker had incredibly light brown hair and shocking red eyes.

Just my luck. A group of wild vampires. I thought sarcastically.

Watch your tone, girl! The red-haired woman -Victoria- snapped at me a glint suddenly appearing in her eyes.

Wait, she's a mind reader!?

"Wow. Aro was right about how stupid elementals are too," the blonde haired man smirked at Victoria. "No girl, we can all hear your thoughts. Now, what is your name?"

Don't say it, don't say it… I chanted over and over in my mind. Don't think at all.

"Elizabeth Amelia Johnson-Cullen," I answered without hesitation.

Dang it!

"It's a good thing her blood doesn't smell appetizing. We need to go hunting," the olive-skinned, dark-haired man spoke from the other side of Victoria.

Why do I only know one of their names?! This is so confusing!

"I am Laurent and this is James," The dark haired ma- Laurent- spoke again.

"Now, hunting, I'm getting thirsty too," James said a smirk on his lips as he played with a strand of Victoria's long, fiery red hair.

Something tells me they're not going hunting for deer or bear

"That's right Elizabeth, we're going hunting for something much tastier. And you're coming with us." My name sounded strange when James said it.

What, no!

"You don't have a choice. The Volturi need someone to look after you and we get immunity to their laws if we do."

Then take me back to my family.

"They need real vampires to look after you. Not animal-blood-drinkers."

Laurent then proceeded to through me over his shoulder as he and the rest of the coven ran off towards the nearest city.

I have been with James' coven for a little over four or five days now, and "living" with this is terrible!

During the days where they don't go hunting it isn't too bad. We walk a lot, to where I have no clue, and when my "human speed" starts to bother them one of them will just carry me as they run along.

It's the nights and when we go hunting that are the worst. At night the nightmares are back and they only thing rivaling them is the hunting. They always stop in every city we pass and I can't help but notice that we've been into a couple of them more than once. When hunting they always make me follow them and no matter how much I don't want to I still follow and watch as they slowly kill innocent humans. I wish I could help them, protect them, but I still can't control my own actions. They've had me freeze multiple things just for their amusement or sometimes, if they're too reckless, to throw off the cops. And as a bonus, I had to go hunting with them all the time, however, they were constantly forgetting that I had to eat too.

Yeah, my life basically sucks right now.

But today was different. I always tried not to think about my family and my life literally just a week ago but sometimes it was hard and I would slip up. Today was one of those days.

All day I couldn't stop thinking about what I had said to my siblings. I knew that they were mad at me. They thought that I had said those things on purpose. That I had wanted to leave them. I couldn't help but wonder if they were looking for me.

I knew that it was selfish to hope that somehow they still cared about me and that they would somehow find me, but some childish part of me still hoped.

But anyways, back to today being different.

We were currently walking, at a human's pace, through the forest with Victoria and James constantly flirting with each other.

James had said that he heard something strange and soon enough the others had heard it too, so here we were, going to investigate whatever it was that they heard.

Eventually, I noticed that the forest was starting to thin out and the trees were becoming less dense and further apart.

Then suddenly the trees disappeared altogether and we were in an open clearing with a group of spread out people.

The people, or vampires rather, quickly sped into a group walking forward to meet us.

I didn't recognize them at first because of how far away they were, but when the got closer I realized that the was my family. I had found them at last! Accidental or not!

Upon hearing my thoughts, Victoria placed her hand on my shoulder digging her nails into my skin slightly in warning.

Mentally I winced but physically I did nothing because I still didn't have control over my body.

As my family got closer Rosalie narrowed her eyes at me and I glared back involuntarily.

I briefly saw the pain that flickered across her face before it was covered by an expressionless mask.

I really had hurt my family to the point where they all hated me. Even now, I was still hurting them.

"We thought we heard a game," Laurent said in a relaxed voice that was tinted with his french accent. "I am Laurent and these are Victoria and James and Elizabeth," he gestured to us.

I looked around quickly at my family and my friend. They all looked hurt and I realized that they thought I was with them.

No, no, no! This is all wrong. Laurent let me go back to my family.

"Hush, girl," Victoria hissed at me in warning.

"I'm Carlisle. This is my family, Emmett and Jasper, Rosalie, Esme and Alice, Edward and Bella."

I desperately tried not to think about their names and the fact that Bella was human. I had gotten better at hiding my thoughts but in order to hide something this big without raising a red flag, I had to instead focus on the pain. My family didn't want me anymore. I had hurt them too much.

"Do you have room for three more players?" Laurent asked sociably.

Wait three, what were they planning on doing with me?

My dad's tone matched Laurent's fake one as he answered. "Actually, we were just finishing up. But we'd certainly be interested another time. Are you planning to stay in the area long?"

"We're heading north, in fact, but we were curious to see who was in the neighborhood. We haven't run into any company in a long time."

"No, this region is usually empty except for the occasional visitor, like yourselves."

I noticed that everyone was slowly relaxing except for me. Had I seriously hurt Jasper to the point where he refused to use his gift on me? I'm so sorry Jazz.

"What's your hunting range?"

"The Olympic Range here, up and down the Coast Ranges on occasion. We keep a permeant residence nearby. There's another permeant settlement like ours up near Denali."

Laurent rocked back on his heels slightly before James began to speak. "Permeate because you refuse to be real vampires, correct?" It wasn't really a question.

My family looked at me in disappointment, even Bella looked mad.

Please let me go!

Of course, I was ignored.

Dad's friendly tone was gone. "Why don't you come back to our home with us and we can discuss this comfortably?"

"That sounds very interesting, but I think we'll pass on interacting with humans," Laurent declined Carlisle's offer with a wave of his hand.

"There will be no humans, we can show you the way if you run with us, and Emmett and Alice, you can go with Edward and Bella to the Jeep.""

That's when everything went to hell.

A breeze blew through, ruffling Bella's hair and causing James to suddenly turn, nostrils flaring.

My family surrounded Bella in a protective circle then, all of the snarling as James lurched forwards towards Bella.

"Stop!" Laurent suddenly exclaimed and Victoria released my shoulders as I walked forwards.

"Elizabeth, don't!" my dad warned in a hard voice that I had never heard him use before as I lifted my hand pointing it towards Bella.

I'm so sorry daddy.

"You brought a snack. Give her to us. We get her either way, and you wouldn't hurt your family, would you?"

"Elizabeth, stop it, now!" Alice's voice held an anger in it that I'd never heard before. Sure, she had been mad at me plenty of times before, but never this cold, heartless anger that sent a chill down my spine.

"She can hear you but she's not going to listen," Laurent said as tears started to force their way out of my eyes and down my cheeks.

I can't stop. I'm going to hurt Bella. I'm going to hurt my family. I have to stop!

Suddenly Esme and Carlisle's eyes softened and Esme relaxed slightly. The two shared a knowing look before Carlisle whispered something too softly for me to understand.

"Alright," Laurent relented, "I can see we've outstayed our welcome. James, Victoria, Elizabeth."

Victoria leaned backwards on her heels slightly before jumping backward and following Laurent, while James snarled before following.

No, let me stay!

I moved to follow them, still silently crying before suddenly Alice reached out and pulled me against her chest holding me in an iron grip.

I instantly started struggling before dad spoke again.

"And the girl stays with us."

The girl? Ouch.

"Ha, fine. She's broken anyway. And in exchange, we will not hunt in your range."

Alice's arms wrapped around me impossibly tighter.

As soon as James, Victoria, and Laurent left with Dad, Mom, Jasper, and Rosalie following them, Alice instantly picked me up while Edward swung Bella over his shoulder and they ran to the jeep, Emmett following closely behind.

We reached the jeep in impossibly short time and Edward and Alice quickly put us in the back of the jeep before doing the set belts and taking off down the path that was not quite considered a road.

Alice was in the passengers seat beside Edward while I was in the back next to Bella and Emmett.

"Lizzie?" Bella asked once the jeep was moving, her voice quivering slightly from fear.

I stared back at her with dull lifeless eyes. I was completely lifeless except for my breathing. Besides that, I didn't even move.

Bella grabbed my hand for a second before quickly jumping back as if she had been burned.

She hissed in pain.

"Bella don't touch her," Edward said in annoyance.

Her?! I didn't even deserve a name anymore.

Bella was silent for a while before she finally asked, "Where are we going?"

No one answered her.

"Dammit, Edward! Where are you taking me?" Bella shouted at him when she realized that he wasn't going to answer.

"We have to get you away from here -far away- now," Edward finally answered her, trying, and failing, to stay calm.

"Turn around! You have to take me home!" Bella continued to shout at him as she struggled with the harness.

"Emmett," Edward said grimly.

Emmett reached out and grabbed Bella's hands effectively ending her struggle.

"No! Edward! No, you can't do this." Bella was shouting at him, still.

"I have to Bella, now please be quiet," Edward was pleading with her now.

"I won't! You have to take me back -Charlie will call the FBI! They'll be all over your family -Carlisle and Esme! They'll have to leave, to hide forever!"

"Calm down, Bella," Edward's voice was cold. "We've been there before."

"Not over me, you don't! You're not ruining everything over me!" Bella began to struggle against Emmett again as she shouted at Edward.

"Edward, pull over," Alice spoke calmly for the first time.

Edward glared at her before speeding up.

"Edward, let's just talk this through," Alice continued to be calm and reasonable.

"You don't understand," Edward roared in frustration. He was so loud that I thought I was going to lose my hearing as his voice echoed off the metal walls of the jeep.

"He's a tracker, Alice, did you see that? He's a tracker!"

What's a tracker?

"Pull over, Edward," Alice's tone was reasonable but had a ring of authority in it that I had rarely heard before. "Do it, Edward."

"Listen to me, Alice. I saw his mind. Tracking is his passion, his obsession -and he wants her, Alice- her specifically. He begins the hunt for Bella tonight. Not to mention he wants Elizabeth back too. He gets immunity to the laws so long as he watches her and makes sure she isn't discovered. He has mind control, Alice. They all do over her. Did you see that?!"

"He doesn't know where-"

Edward cut Alice off. "How long do you think it will take him to cross her scent in town? How long do you think before he uses Elizabeth to get to her? She's a weakness that you brought in this car to endanger Bella! His plan was already set before the words were out of Laurent's mouth."

I really did break my relationship with my family beyond repair.

Bella suddenly gasped. "Charlie! You can't leave him there! You can't leave him!"

"She's right," Alice agreed.

Suddenly, I felt a strange tugging in the back of my head. Like someone or something was trying to hold me back but failing. Then I remembered what Victoria had told me at one point. "We had to get close to the school grounds to get you. The telekinesis has a range."

"R-r-range," I stuttered out and everyone turned to me in confusion and amazement. "T-the tel-telekinesis has a r-range."

It took so much effort to talk and I was out of breath and sweating by the time I finished.

"I'm… I'm not a w-weakness, E-Edward."

"Well, you sure don't sound like you're free of their control to me. It could be just a trick or maybe you were friends with them since the beginning. Maybe this is all just an act."

Did he really think that of me?

"Edward! Pull over now!" The calm was gone from Alice's voice.

"Now, Edward!" Emmett added when the car continued to move.

Edward suddenly slammed on the brakes sending Bella and I flying forward.

"There are no other options," Edward hissed.

"I'm not leaving Charlie!" Bella yelled back at Edward angrily.

Edward ignored her completely.

"We have to take them back," Emmett finally spoke.

"No, Elizabeth endangers us all, but Bella most of all." Edward was absolute.

"He's no match for us, Edward. He won't be able to touch her. And Lizzie was you baby sister for seven years. You trusted her and in exchange, she trusted you with her life. Do you remember when Carlisle and Esme first brought her home? The tiny eight-year-old who was terrified of us before she even knew what we were? Who was terrified that we were going to hurt her? Who wouldn't eat for a week and wouldn't talk to anybody? Well, she found out our when we nearly killed her, and yet she still learned to trust you. To trust all of us and now we need to trust her."

"He'll wait for us. For a weakness, and did you forget what Elizabeth said to us five days ago!? Five days, Emmett. And then she disappeared only to reappear and try to kill Bella. I do remember that girl, Emmett, but she's not the same girl that's in this car now."

"We can wait too, Edward, and just look at her. She is the same girl. The same one who you would tease by driving too fast on the way home from school, the one who you would help through her nightmares, the one who you watched over twenty-four hours of Frozen with because it was the first movie she ever saw and it helped her get over her fears, the one who you help with her homework when she misses school or doesn't understand the lesson, the one who you watch over and protect, the one who you love."

"You didn't see- you don't understand she helped them. She gave them information. He's unshakeable once he commits to a hunt and she's already told him everything. We'd have to kill him."

Emmett didn't seem upset by the idea of killing him. "That's an option."

"And the female, she's with him. If it turns into a fight, the leader will go with them, too. Your sister as well."

That stung more than anything else he has said tonight. I wasn't Edwards sister. I was just a person who he used to love and trust.

"Edward, she's your sister as well. You know she won't fight with them. We'll keep them both safe. There's enough of us to take them on."

"There's another option," Alice cut in quietly.

Edward turned on her in fury. "There -is -no -other -option!"

Emmett, Bella, and I all stared at him in shock while he and Alice had a staring contest of sorts.

As the two of them faced off, I shakily reached my hands out to Emmett.

He quickly released Bella's hands before reaching over and hugging me.

"I'm s-so sorry, I didn't m-mean t-to hurt y-you. Any o-of you," I said to Emmett yet at the same time it was directed towards the rest of my family plus Bella.

"Not your fault, little sis," Emmett replied as I leaned against his chest. His skin no longer felt cold but I didn't think about that, instead turning to Bella.

"I-I'm s-sorry, Bella, I d-didn't want t-to h-hurt you."

"I know you didn't," she replied softly. "And Edward know that too. Just wait and he'll come around." She reached her hand out to me and I took it, squeezing her hand lightly in thanks.

"But seriously," her small smile turned teasing. "I think you're colder than a vampire, Miss Ice Queen. And your eyes are dark, just like Edward's when he's thirsty"

I shrugged lightly. "It's cold in the car band I have no clue about my eyes."

Alice turned to me then, apparently done with her mental conversation. "Lizzie, the heat's turned all the way up. It has been since we got into the car."

"Okay, let's figure this out later. For now, does anyone want to hear my plan?" Bella asked as she released my hand.

"No," Edward growled and Alice glared at him.

Bella also glared at Edward before continuing. "You take me back."

"No," Edward interrupted.

Bella continued to glare at him. "You take me back. I tell my dad I want to go home to Phoenix. I pack my bags. We wait till this tracker is watching and Lizzie can pack while we wait and then we run. He'll follow us out and leave Charlie alone. Charlie won't call the FBI on your family. Then you can take us any damned place you want."

"That's not a bad idea, really," Emmett sounded a bit surprised.

"It might work- and we can't simply leave your father unprotected. You know that," Alice said.

"It's too dangerous -I don't want him within a hundred miles of her. He could easily take advantage of Elizabeth if she really was being controlled."

"Edward, he's not getting through us. And if it makes you feel better Alice can run Lizzie home," Emmett sounded really confident.

Alice glanced into the future for a minute. "I don't see him attacking. He'll try and wait for us to leave either of them alone."

"So we can't trust Elizabeth then. No matter what he can use her. Willing or not, it won't take him long to figure out that we aren't going to leave Bella alone."

"I demand that you take me home," Bella directed at Edward before continuing in a much smaller voice. "Please."

"You're leaving tonight whether the tracker sees or not. You tell Charlie that you can't stand another minute in Forks. Tell him whatever story works. Pack the first things your hands touch, and then get in your truck. I don't care what he says to you. You have fifteen minutes. Do you hear me? Fifteen minutes from the time you cross that doorstep. Alice will run Elizabeth home. She won't come with us though and once she's out of this car, she isn't allowed within twenty feet of Bella. She's a liability no matter if she was a willing participant or not."

The jeep rumbled to life as I opened my mouth to protest. Bella beat me to it.

"Edward, she's not safe alone, she has to come with us. She's your sister, she's not going to put me in danger. I'm in just as much danger as I would be if I were with Jasper or Rosalie or even Alice. She loves you unconditionally and deep down you know that she wasn't willing. When we went to Port Angeles" -I suppressed a shudder- "she lied, but she lied to keep your secret and even in her lies there was truth. Do you know what she said when I asked about her family? She said 'Rosalie and Jasper are my older biological siblings and Emmett, Alice, and Edward are my adoptive siblings, but I love my family. Adoptive or otherwise.' Can you tell which part of that was a lie? Cause I can tell you that it wasn't the ending. She didn't lie about loving you, Edward."

"Fine," Edward relented reluctantly. "Although she's not allowed near you without one of us watching."

I mouthed 'thank you' to Bella and she smiled in response.

The quick ride to Bella's house was filled with a tense silence aside from a quick argument between everyone -excluding me- on who was going with Bella and where they were going.

All too soon, Edward pulled the jeep into Bella's driveway and parked beside her car.

We all climbed out, although my body didn't have complete control back yet and I stumbled more than Bella.

The last time that I tripped Alice caught my arms gently before lifting me up onto her back.

"Come on, Edward's got this and you need to pack as well," She whispered quietly as she took off at full speed away from Bella's house.

We made it home in record time and after the dizziness subsided I quickly ran up the porch steps and into the house.

I walked into the house, hiding slightly behind Alice as I followed her into the kitchen.

"Carlisle, Esme," Alice called out quietly and suddenly the rest if my family minus Edward and Emmett was standing around us.

"Edward and Bella are packing, they're going to come here and them we'll lead the tracker away. Then the rest of us will take Bella and Lizzie to Phenix."

"You're feeling better?" Rosalie questioned me softly after hearing Alice's short version of the plan.

"Mmm. And I-I'm so s-sorry about what I s-said. All of y-you are my family a-and I l-love you."

Why can't I just talk normally!?

"We love you too, sweetheart," Esme reached forward and hugged me tightly.

"Not E-Edward," I mumbled quietly.

"No, your brother loves you dearly," My mom reassured but I shook my head.

"N-not my b-brother anymore ap-apparently."

"We'll talk more about this later, for now, you need to pack.," Alice cut in grabbing my hand and leading me up the stairs.

Once we were in my room Alice thrust a medium sized duffle bag at me.

"Pack the first things that you see, we're leaving as soon as Bella and Edward get here," She ordered before disappearing from my room.

I did exactly as Alice said, throwing my closet doors open forcefully before quickly shoving the first clothes that I touched into the bag until it was almost full.

After I had enough clothes I moved over to my bathroom and quickly filled the remainder of the space in my bag with toiletries.

I yanked the zipper on the bag shut before Alice came back into my room with a handful of clothes. "You change and then go downstairs and give your clothes to Rose. It will mess with the hunter's sense of smell."

I nodded and she once again disappeared from my room.

I quickly changed into Alice's light gray tank top and dark wash jeans before grabbing my bag and heading downstairs.

Everyone was downstairs, Bella included and after I tossed my old clothes at Rosalie and stood beside Bella. She reached down and squeezed my hand in a comforting manner and I smiled back at her as everyone around us discussed the plan.

"Alice, Jasper, Elizabeth- take the Mercedes. You'll need the dark tint in the south."

My siblings nodded and my dad continued.

"We'll take the Jeep. Alice, will they take the bait?"

Everyone -including me- turned to watch my sister as she closed her eyes and became incredibly still.

Finally, she opened her eyes. "He'll track you. The woman and Laurent will follow the truck. We should be able to leave after that," Alice said in a certain voice.

"Let's go." My dad began to walk towards the garage and I followed him to give Bella and Edward some privacy as they kissed.

Then suddenly Edward, Carlisle, and Emmett were gone. I turned back to Bella and she had tears running noiselessly down her face.

I walked back over to Bella and hugged her until my mom's phone rang.

"Now," she said and Rose briefly touched my shoulder before stalking out the door as my mom kissed me on the top of my head before brushing Bella's cheek softly and following her daughter out the door.

Everyone stood extremely still as we waited until Alice's phone buzzed. It seemed like it was at her ear before it made any sound.

"Edward says the woman is on Esme's trail. I'll get the car." Alice vanished as soon as she was finished talking.

"You're wrong you know. Both of you," Jasper said quietly and I glanced up at my big brother in interest.

"What?" Bella gasped.

"I can feel what you two are feeling now- Bella, you are worth it and Lizzie, you're not a danger to us."

"I'm not," Bella mumbled as I said nothing. "If anything happens to them, it will be for nothing."

"Your wrong," Jasper repeated, smiling kindly at Bella before turning to me. "And Elizabeth Amelia, I'm warning you now, you better stop beating yourself up. It wasn't your fault and everyone knows that."

His voice was both teasing and serious at the same time, almost as if he was trying to cheer me up but at the same time trying to prove that I was wrong.

The suddenly Alice was back without a sound as she held her arms out to Bella.

"May I?" she asked as I walked over to Jasper and climbed onto his back.

"You're the first to ask permission," Bella smiled wryly.

Alice picked up Bella and then suddenly we were flying out the door with all the lights still turned on behind us. Then suddenly I was leaving everything I had known to be comforting and soothing. Are family was split up and we were on the run.

In an instant, everything in my life changed.

Wow, so I really did hate writing Edward in this chapter. He was under a lot of stress from James' coven and Lizzie disappearing, and as a result, he wasn't very kind. Despite how mean I made Edward in this chapter, he is one of my favorite Cullens and hopefully he'll start trusting Lizzie again really soon. I hope you enjoyed and please follow, favorite, and review! Constructive criticism is welcome.
