-Carolyn-

I walked in the door and slammed it loudly behind me. The small living room was quiet and the lights were off. I blindly walked over to the light switch and turned on the lights. I jumped in surprise when I saw found Jade sitting on the leather couch, reading a book. She looked like a model on a magazine cover, as always. Her dark hair flowed down over her shoulder, covering half of her face, giving her a focused-student kind of look. I wanted to yell at her, but my empty stomach made me go into the kitchen instead. I opened the fridge. Aunt Cleo really needs to do some grocery shopping; there wasn't much to choose from. I got out the jelly -a main ingredient for a yummy sandwich. I set the jar on the counter and headed for the cupboard; the peanut butter being my next target.

I ended up making three peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. I ate the first, the second, and most of the third before I could no longer take it -I needed to confront Jade now. I entered the living room, holding a plate in one hand and what was left of my sandwich in another.

Jade looked up at me, her gold eyes were simmering with frustration. "You weren't at the animal shelter."

"No, I wasn't." I replied smoothly, taking a bite the last bite of my sandwich.

Jade's nose crinkled in disgust, "You smell like dog. Go take a shower, we can talk afterwards."

"I want to talk now." I said firmly, letting a bit of my anger to seep through. I set my plate down on the coffee table.

Jade closed her book and set it down on the table beside her. "About what?" she asked warily.

I walked over to the chair that was across from the couch and sat down. "Collin's house was on fire."

An emotion flitted across her face, but it was gone too quickly for me to recognize it.

"Jade, I swear to god, if you ever try to hurt Collin again -I'm going to take drastic measures."

Jade's eyes widened.

"Just make sure that it never happens again." I said, feeling smug about Jade's reaction. I got up and took the plate off of the table and went into the kitchen to put it in the sink. Jade must have followed me because her voice was behind me.

"Give me your cell phone," she said suddenly, her voice firm.

"What? Why?" I asked, turning around in surprise.

"I want to borrow it for a few seconds."

"Okay?" I put my plate in the sink and fished my cell out of my jean pocket. I handed it to her.

Jade punched in some numbers quickly; her movements blurred. She held the phone a few inches from her ear; not needing it to be close. I could hear the soft ringing from where I stood. It seemed like the person whoever she was calling wasn't going to answer, but then a voice did answer, "Hello?"

I knew that voice from anywhere. How could I not? Collin's voice was the voice that I dreamed about having in my ear when I fell asleep. Jade smiled at my shocked expression, "Hello, Collin."

"Jade?"

"Carolyn seems set on taking drastic measures to get her way. For example, when we visited the Cullen's house, she threatened to stab herself with a pen. So, I'm calling you in hopes that you can talk some sense into her."

"Hand her the phone."

Jade handed me the phone with a very smug smile on her face. She knew victory. "I'm going to be going out for a bit Carolyn, so be good," Jade said before leaving.

"Hey." I said into the receiver.

"Carolyn, I don't ever want you to threaten to hurt yourself again," he said, his voice soft but also hinted with what sounded like disappointment.

Tears began to fill up in my eyes. "Okay," I said, my voice sounding small from holding back a crying fit.

"I love you and I don't want you to get hurt. Threatening to spill your own blood in front of vampires is a good way to get hurt…or worse. I know that Jade isn't…helping us, but bear with her."

"But she set fire to your house!" I exclaimed, not wanting to even be near Jade with that thought in mind.

"She's a likely suspect, but we can't prove that it was her." Collins sighed.

"She didn't deny it." I pointed out.

"Did she admit that she did?"

"Well, no she didn't, but"

"-then don't worry about it." Collin interrupted in a soothing voice.

"How are you feeling?" I asked, feeling horrible for being the reason why Jade burnt Collin's house down to the ground.

"My injuries are healing at a rapid rate, I'll be back to normal real soon."

"Does it hurt, having your body heal an injury like that?"

"No, but it does feel hotter around the injury."

"What is your temperature anyway?" I asked, my curiosity getting the better of me.

"Nearly one-o-nine."

"Wow." It was all I could say. I let the information sink in; I may have been used to vampire weirdness, but werewolf weirdness was something that I had yet to adapt to. The new information reminded me of something, "Could you tell me some of that werewolf history that you never got to tell me?"

"I could."

"Will you?" I asked, a smile creeping up onto my face.

"I dunno. Billy is really good at telling it; it would be best if you attended a bon fire and heard the story from him."

"Okay, I'll go grab my keys." I said, barely able to contain my excitement. I jumped to my feet.

"Hold on, Carolyn," he said. I held on. "It is pretty late, and you need your sleep. I don't want you falling asleep at the wheel and crashing."

"Do you really think I'll fall asleep at the wheel?" I asked, not letting his words get me down.

"I really think that it is a possibility. Besides, you wouldn't be able to stay awake even if you did make the drive."

Those words let me down; they were true. Disappointment seeped into me, but then an idea popped in my head and gave me hope. "Couldn't I just hear the legends when I wake up?"

Collin just laughed.

"What about your mom? I could hear the legends with her."

"She's heard them before." Collin said, a strange tone in his voice.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothings wrong, don't worry." Collin's light tone sounded forced.

"Collin."

"Carolyn, you sound like you're going to keel over. You should go to bed."

"But I'm not tired."

"…I'll sing you to sleep."

My cheeks felt hot and my heart began to pound quickly. It sounded incredibly romantic. "Really?" I asked, beginning the walk to my room.

"Yes," he chuckled. "Now go get ready."

"Okay." I replied happily. I flicked on the light and closed the door behind me. "Hang on." I set the phone down on my bed and rushed over to my drawer and found some pajamas. I put them on quickly. I then turned off the light and picked the phone off of my bed. I crawled under the blankets, got comfy and set the phone to speaker. "Okay." I said, setting the phone next to my pillow.

"You're in bed?"

"Yep."

"And you're going to try and fall asleep?"

"You singing will really help the process." I said, still very eager to hear Collin sing to me.

Collin chuckled and then began humming the tune that I had first heard on the beach. "What is it about?" I had asked. "Protecting the people you care about." Collin had replied. I closed my eyes and inched closer to the phone so I could hear each and every note perfectly. The song sounded sweet, and soothing.

I listened happily for a minute until my curiosity made me interrupt, "Will you sing the words?"

"They're not in English." Collin informed me.

"Then what are they in?"

"Quileute."

I had never heard of the language, but I didn't care. "Please sing them anyway. Please?"

"Alright, alright." Collin said before he began to sing the words. I couldn't tell what the words meant exactly but I could tell that they were full of love, and they were almost sad. I felt myself drift deeper into sleep.

"Good night, Collin. Love you." I said softly into the receiver. Before I went unconscious, I heard him chuckle and tell me that he loved me too.

-Jade-

I ran up and down the small alleys of Seattle city. I was an invisible force at an invincible speed, knowing this created a sense of thrill. I reached my destination in less than a minute. I stopped a few yards away from my target. His blonde hair blew in the wind and his crimson eyes bore into mine. David was his usual beautiful self and I couldn't help but appreciate his beauty; he was perfect in every way even on vampire terms he was good looking.

"Jade? I thought you were going to stay with your dear Carolyn while they came into town." David said in a velvet voice.

"You burnt a mutt's house down." I said, getting straight to the point and trying to keep my anger at bay.

"Yes, I thought a warning would be fun to give."

"He went in the fire."

"I didn't think the wolves were that stupid." David scoffed.

I scowled, "He did it because his cat was in there."

"Does it really matter? You sound kind of upset by it, why?" David's brow knit together in confusion.

"Carolyn blamed me for it. She thinks I did that, and that upsets me."

"What do you want me to do about it, Jade? Do you want me to go up to your sister and tell her that I'm trying to kill her beloved mongrel?"

My eyes narrowed. "Forget I said anything. Just make sure you keep away from her."

"Of course."

"Good."

David wrapped his arms around my waist. "You know, Jade," he began. "I think you just need to forget about all of this werewolf stuff for a bit and relax, hmm?" David said softly, trailing light kisses down my neck. I couldn't tell if I was making him do this accidentally, or if he was kissing me of his own free will. I hated my powers.

"Stop." I said, afraid that I was only controlling him. I don't think I'd be able to bear it if he realized he was being manipulated and rejected me. David ignored me and continued to put his lips on my skin. "David."

"Hmm?"

"I said stop."

"You don't want me to."

"What do you want, David?"

David stopped and looked me in the eye. I was sure that if I was human my heart would have jumped out of my chest. His stare was intense and I found that I had stopped breathing. "Jade, I didn't transform you for the fun of it. I only told Elizabeth that."

"Where is Elizabeth, David?" I asked on the last bit of air I had in my lungs.

"Gone. I was sick of her and I really liked you, but I don't just like you anymore, Jade. I need you."

"Do you love me?" I asked, knowing perfectly well that need did not mean love.

David leaned down and kissed me on the lips softly. "Yes, you silly undead woman."

I took a deep breath to calm myself down, to tame my desires so I could find out for sure if I was manipulating him. The problem was that by taking a deep breath, I had inhaled David's wonderful scent, making my desire for him sky rocket. If I had been manipulating him before, I most certainly was manipulating him now.

David grinned, "So you want me to kiss you again, huh?"

I was glad that he could recognize when I was in control of him, but embarrassed as well. I decided to change the subject, "So when is the Volturi arriving?"

"As soon as I take care of a person."

"Who?"

"She's the Volturi's secretary at headquarters. She has information that we need, and in return for that information, she wants to be turned into a vampire." I was jealous. This woman had a choice in being bitten or not, but that wasn't what bothered me the most. I didn't want David's venom to run through anyone else's veins. David saw through my composed face and chuckled, "I don't plan on changing her, of course. Don't worry, love, you will remain my only one." He then kissed my forehead affectionately. "By the way, when is Tanya's coven arriving?" he breathed against my skin, leaving a tingling feeling on me.

"I have to find a place for them to stay, the Cullens are not happy with them or me."

"They won't get involved, you think?"

"I certainly hope not…you better take care of that secretary. I want this war done and over with."

That's all folks! Lol.
