I walked out of Emily's room in the blue sundress she lent me, my hair wet and curly with some makeup she had in the bathroom for me to use. "Are you sure I can wear this? It seems so fancy." I said touching the smooth silky fabric. She just smiled and put a reassuring hand lightly on my shoulder.

"You look lovely."

I couldn't help but glance up at the ruined half of her face. My heart got heavy with sorrow and a weird sense of pity.

"Thank you." I said as we walked out into the kitchen. She had welcomed me into the family so quickly, almost as if we were friends from birth, playing in the sandbox and trading lunches in Elementary school.

We walked into the kitchen, where Sam and Jacob were leaning on the kitchen counter. "Hey, beautiful." Jacob said standing up straighter. I sighed and looked at my feet as I scuttled over to him, kind of embarrassed. Sam laughed out loud a little bit and I looked up from behind my bangs at him when I had reached Jake's protective arms.

"Hesitant?" Sam asked. I grinned up at him. "Definitely." I said, "You scare the crap outta me, Sam." Emily laughed as she took a tray of muffins out of the small oven.

"Aw. Don't be afraid of the big bad wolf!" He pleaded grabbing a muffin out of the hot tray.

Road in The Woods:

"We've been searching all day, Emmet. I don't think we're going to find her." Jasper confirmed quietly, Alice hanging on his left arm.

"We're the hell did that menace go?" he said infuriated at the lost game, "She couldn't have gotten far." He lunged for the woods and was stopped by Edward's restraining grip on his forearm. He looked down at his arm, then followed the hand to the arm, and then the arm up to Edward's serious facial expression.

"Let go of my limb." He said sarcastically, shaking it off. It didn't work, but Edward let go anyways.

"We wasted the whole day searching in this area for her, when she could be running on the other side of the world right now." Rosalie contemplated, leaning against the Volvo window. Edward looked over to the casual and laidback blonde on his car.

"Rosalie. Don't pretend you don't care about the outcome." Edward said flatly.

"What're you talking-"

"You warned Kelsey about getting involved with the immortal, in the most incomprehensible way possible, but you still did. I heard you."

All eyes were on Rosalie.

"Care to explain why you would warn a mortal you had absolutely no connection with for her own safety?" The right corner of his mouth twisted up in triumph. Rose turned and flipped open the yellow car door, not bothering to watch whether or not she tore the whole thing off the hinges. Bella's hand was held up to her chest as she worriedly glanced at Alice and Embry next to her.

"Let's just go." Emmet sighed getting into the driver's side, "We'll make it there today."

Back at La Push:

Emily waved from the front door as the russet werewolf and girl on his back ran off down towards the noon air on the beach. Sam came over to her once they were out of sight and slung his arms around her.

Emily was washing her final plate in the sink bubbles when two screeches outside got her attention.

She walked to the door and opened it, to see a plethora of vampires, as well as Embry and Quil, closing the doors and walking towards the house. "Emily!" Bella grinned lightly hugging her.

"What're you guys doing here?" I thought you were starting college?" she said as they pulled away. Sam was now outside as well, walking up to Edward.

"I will explain the whole situation behind closed doors." Edward promised.

"What is this about, Edward?" Sam asked, not rudely, but as if it could be answered in just one word. The vampire sighed heavily. "We have a reason to believe that an uncontrollable newborn is running loose through this area."

"The explanation."

"It's been hunting for something specific."

"What's that?"

"The scent of blood different from anything around here. Sam? Emily? Have you met Kelsey yet?"
