After the party I was heading out to hunt for a bit. I haven't in a while and I am long overdue. When I was about to pounce at a bear I was pushed out of the way by another vampire. I rolled off the ground and growled.
"What was that for?" I crouched down ready to defend myself. I saw he was crouched too but suddenly he got back to normal posture.
"I was trying to get your attention but you couldn't hear me. I have something to tell you Sierra. Something important."
"What is it? I want to get back to hunting. I haven't in weeks."
"Your family is lying to you Sierra. They don't want you here. They only want Isabella. Alice thinks your a nuisance, Emmett thinks you are a waste of time, Rosalie pities you, Jasper just wants to toy with you, Esme & Carlisle think you are a horrible child, Edward despises you, and your sister has never cared for you, she just wanted someone to do stuff for her."
"I don't believe you. Everyone loves me. They've said so themselves."
"You really think they love you. I have the gift to show our kind what others are doing. Here I will show you. Just give me your hand." He took a step towards me and held out his hand. If he was just going to show me my family what is the harm right. I took the last few steps toward him and grasped his hand and what I saw I didn't like.
(Vision)
Everyone was around the coffee table talking about something. Or someone.
"Why are we pretending to like her? Can't we just kick her out or leave or something." -Alice
"Alice that isn't nice. Sierra is a part of this family, who needs to be gotten rid of more harmful than that. -Esme
"I know what we can do." -Bella
"What" -Everyone
"Well Edward. You know when you left me I was like dawn of the dead right?" -Bella
Everyone nodded
"Well why don't we do that. Tell her we don't love her. This will be truthful and then leave her stunned so she can't follow then we go somewhere else where she can't figure it out."
"Brilliant Bella. Well that is settled. We will take her hiking outside Friday and we will leave her. Rosalie, Alice, and Jasper figure out where we can go. Edward and Bella figure out what we will say since you two know what happened best. This week will be the last of Sierra Cullen." -Carlisle
(End Vision)
That couldn't be. Can it? It can.
"So do you believe me now?" he asked stepping back a few feet.
"Yes I do. They want me to leave so bad, well they will get it. I am going to be all goody- goody for the next 2 days and then I will leave before they can take me anywhere. I will be good for their last memory and then I will go to the place I love most. Thank you..."
"Andrew."
"Thank you Andrew for everything. I will make sure the Volturi reward you for this." I run and hear nothing behind me anymore.

"This is what you get for killing my mother, Neferet."

When I got home I ran to my room, picked up my guitar, and started to sing a new song with lyrics just flowing out of my mouth

I put my guitar down and just cried. I actually felt the tears falling down my face. I touched them on my face and put my head down on my knees.
"Why does this always happen to me? Why?"
EsPOV
I was outside Sierra's room to hear her play that heartbreaking song. And say those last words as she cried. I didn't go in there because she just needed to cry it all out. She just lost her family and almost lost us. I turned on my heel and went to Carlisle's office.
"Carlisle. Honey." I said as I walked through the door and sat on the couch next to him.
"Yes. Esme dear. What is it?"
I took a breath. "It is Sierra. She is crying again. I think it is because of her family. What should we do?"
"I don't know. Why don't we ask Bella. She had something similar to this. Bella dear can you come here?" he called. Bella was at the door a second later.
"Yeah Carlisle. What do you need?"
"Bella it is Sierra. She is crying again and we believe it is her family. You had something similar will you please explain to us what is happening to her. From your perspective of course."
She sighed. "Well when I left my dad looked for me but he had someone to love already. Sierra's parents were fine together but they were always together unlike my dad and Sue. They also had her brother too. He was worried and had no one except his parents and when they died they were looking for her. So I bet she thinks that if she leaves the ones who she love will leave her again. And she will think it was her fault. She was supposed to get therapy but she never did. She put her parts of her heart in everyone she loved's hands. And then her grandpa died, which took that part of her heart. Then her uncle, her 2 dogs, her grandma then her parents and brother. All she has is me and her aunt now. She loves you guys too but she has no heart to give so that is why she holds her emotions in. To give all of you something which she also had to do with the Volturi but she couldn't with them. So if she lost us she would be very vulnerable. The only emotion she has is happiness, anger, and sometimes sad. Otherwise she is a shell. Holding everything away. If I didn't change her I wouldn't know as much as I do now. Somehow when I changed her I got her memory too. It is horrible. She was an outcast in her childhood. She remembers it well and she made friends with only 2 people and all of her teachers except one. She wishes she could be like her mother. Block out all her memories to stop the suffering, she also believes if she is the one suffering no one else has to suffer as she does. She is a kind soul and that is why she rarely hunts. She can barely even think about taking another life. Even an animal. Carlisle, she needs someone. Not me or you two but someone she can completely trust her life with."
I feel so sorry for her. I had no idea she felt like this.
"That is it Esme. She doesn't want anyone to know she feels like this. She is distant. She takes her emotions and puts them in music or books. I don't get it. Why doesn't she let us in?" Bella put her head in her hands and shook her head.
"Bella honey, do you think it is best if we take her back home to see her family but not say anything to her aunt?" Carlisle asked
"I don't know. It could go either way. She could either close up and run away or she could get better knowing that everything isn't her fault. Do you want to take that chance?" she looks to us with teary eyes.
"Lets ask the family and see what they think is best, especially Edward. He spent a lot of time with her while we were in Italy."
SPOV
There they go. They are going to talk about my departure while I'm in the house. While they are talking, I am too just to myself so I put on Keep Holding On by Avril Lavigne.
"I can't believe my family is doing this. No, Sierra, they aren't your family. Not anymore." I pull my head up from my knees and decide I'm not going to stay here. Not where I'm not welcome.
"I'm not a Cullen anymore, I'm not a Volturi anymore, I am a Snyder and that is who I am, now and forever." I get up from my bed and grab a small backpack and pack my things. 3 changes of clothes, my toothbrush, my non-limit credit card, a lot of rubber bands, my IPod and it's charger and pictures of my families and me. The Snyder's, The Volturi, and even a picture of the Cullens. I slung my backpack on and I turned to my window and then I turn around and look at my home once again thinking over the memories I've had in just a day.
"Goodbye Cullens. I hope you have a good existence. Without me." With that I jump from my window and run to the place I favor most besides my old home. Athens, Greece.
JPOV
I was feeling worry from everyone on what we should do about Sierra. But I also felt an immense amount of pain, loneliness and anger from Sierra. Wait. Why would Sierra be angry?
"Jasper, what's the matter? You zoned out for a while." Carlisle said turning to me
"It's nothing, it's just I'm getting mixed feelings from Sierra. Pain, loneliness, and a lot of anger. But now it's gone." I don't smell her anymore and obviously no one else does too.
Bella was first to react and jumped up and ran to Sierra's room. We opened the door to find Sierra's room completely clean, the music player playing, and Sierra gone. We turn to Alice to find her.
She shuts her eyes and concentrates. Then she gasps and opens them.
"She's gone. She's run away.
