I really hope you enjoy it :0)

I will keep writing as long as you guys are reading and reviewing!

"Well I'm sure it must be a little hard for him at times but he does have five mothers who all like to take care of him and of course there is my father who pays attention to him being the only son."

I looked at her closely. There was an edge to her voice that I had picked up on when she had mentioned her father.

"Are you sure that you want to go back?" I asked her seriously. It didn't seem like it to me.

"Yes I'm very sure."

"Okay, because if you need help or need to get away from your father, you must tell us."

"Thanks for the offer; your family has shown us great kindness. My life however is with them."

"I understand how you feel and I respect that but always remember you have options."

"Thank you Nessie."

"So what you survive on? Do you hunt animals like us in South America?"

Rosy looked at me sheepishly.

"Well we live on normal human food sometimes but mostly our diet consists of human blood."

"Wow so you hunt humans? I couldn't imagine doing that."

"Yes we do."

"Doesn't it play on your conscience?" I asked incredulously.

"Yes I suppose it does a little but my instincts always seem to win. I still can't understand how your family can live so close to humans."

"Well they have been shying away from human blood for years so it's like second nature for us."

"I guess that would be the case."

I looked at her thinking of how nice it had been having her around like a sister my age to talk to. Someone, who was just like me in a lot of ways, Rosy understood what it was like to be in between two worlds.

It took three weeks for Nahuel to be well enough to travel. Carlisle came and told us the good news.

"That's wonderful." I said glad that he was healing now but I would be sad to see them go.

While Nahuel had been bedridden, I spent most of the time with Rosy. I convinced her to try our way of hunting. My mom and dad came with us. We paused when we came across a herd of deer.

"That scent isn't nearly as desirable as a human one." Rosy complained wrinkling her nose. We all laughed.

"It does take some getting used to." I chuckled putting my arm around her shoulders "The carnivores smell better. I'm sure you have some really exotic animals where you are."

"Well I suppose I should give it a try. I can't believe you talked me into this." She said reluctantly and I left her so that she could move.

We let her lead us as she followed the scent and then they herd came into view. We were extremely silent as we watched the herd. Rosy was the first to go. She caught one easily and we were all too fast for the others.

As we walked back after we had all had enough, I asked Rosy how she felt about the hunt.

"Well you have given me something to consider, I will see how it goes at my home." She said smiling at me "My thirst isn't completely gone though."

"Yes the animals satisfy the thirst, but it doesn't take it away fully."

That night we had we had a farewell party for Nahuel and Rosy. Alice loved any excuse for a party. I wasn't in much of a mood to celebrate. I would put it on a brave face for them. Alice had pulled me into her bedroom before the party.

"I have something for you." She said her eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Aunt Alice I really don't need any more clothes. I'm really all set."

"You need this dress." She informed me.

She pulled me into her walk in closet and made me sit on her little chair that she kept in there. Her closet was huge. It was stocked as well as a store. There were jackets, tops; any type of jeans, evening dresses and the shoes went on forever. Alice came back with a garment bag. She pulled the zip down slowly and in it was one of the most beautiful dresses I had seen. It was black with shades of sapphire blue in it. It was more sophisticated than anything else I owned.

My eyes widened as I looked at the dress.

"Still don't need any more clothes?" Alice said smiling triumphantly at me.

"Aren't I a bit young for that?"

"Well you are almost fully grown now; I think it will be ok for you to wear it. So come on before I get any older and try it on."

"I took the dress from her and slid it on. It was like a second skin. The dress was so soft and pretty. It showed a little bit of skin but not in a vulgar way. It made me look like an adult.

"This is the most perfect dress." I said almost in tears.

"I know I amaze myself with my eye for clothes." Alice said winking at me.

"Isn't this a bit much for tonight?" I said.

"You are probably right. Your birthday is coming up very soon though and you can wear it then. How does that sound?"

"That sounds like a great idea." I said though I didn't really have anyone else to invite to my birthday party besides my large family. I guess I would just have to make sure that I pretend to enjoy it as I knew my family would be disappointed if they threw me a party and I didn't really enjoy myself.

"Yes and we will make sure that no one sees this dress on you before your birthday."

"My dad will see it." I sighed

"No he won't get it out from me. I kept your mom's wedding dress a secret." She said as she ruffled my hair.

The party that night was a little bitter sweet for me. I mostly tried to keep up a happy façade. I struggled and I could see that my dad was watching me carefully. He could hear the confusion in my thoughts. I walked outside for some fresh air. I sank to my knees and I felt the tears roll slowly down my face. I was feeling so confused. I was feeling too much. Nahuel had told me that he loved me and I was sending him away. I was breaking someone's heart. Somehow that knowledge was deep inside me and I didn't like what I saw. Could I really blame Nahuel for the way he acted, just because he might have made the wrong choice? If I had been the person who was in love with someone like that wouldn't I have maybe acted a little crazy to try and be with that person? If you were so in love with someone there wasn't anything that you wouldn't do. I thought of my mom and dad. My mom had changed herself completely as she wanted to be with my dad forever and nothing else had been more important to her. I stayed on my knees and sobbed harder. Why couldn't I let go of this hatred I felt towards myself.

"Nessie." My dad's voice murmured in the darkness.

"Hey dad I'm alright, I just needed some time. I will come in a minute."

"I'm not leaving you when you are like this."

Great I couldn't have a private place in my head.

"Look Nessie, I'm doing the best I can here. Unfortunately this is the family you were born into."

I looked at him and I sighed.

"Sorry, you just have to know it can get a bit old at times when your father can hear your thoughts. Everything just feels so confusing right now. I feel like I'm being pulled in a whole lot of directions." I said and leant against his chest as he wrapped his arms around me.

"There is just one thing that I want to say. You are in no way responsible for anything that has happened. Nahuel made his own choices and you can't help how you feel. I will not allow you to hate yourself for this."

"I feel so awful because he feels so much for me and I just care for him as a friend."

"There is nothing wrong with that Nessie. You have the right to feel what you do."

"Dad, do you think there is one person meant for everyone?"

His eyes tightened at my words. He didn't really want to answer.

"Nessie you are too young to start thinking about that."

"Says who?" I said standing up and putting my hands on my hip.

"Says your older and wiser father. You will have plenty of time to think about that."

"You haven't answered my question." I said folding my arms around my chest.

My dad chuckled.

"You are so much like your mother."

"Is that a bad thing?"

"No not at all. Now to answer your question, I can only speak from my experience. From the moment I first looked into your Mom's eyes for the first time I knew that she was the one for me."

"Do you think it will happen for me and also Nahuel one day?"

"You are too young right now Nessie but yes I'm sure you will." He sighed as if there were something bothering him "And Nahuel will find someone who can love him the way he loves them."

I felt a little calmer after his words.

"Good I'm glad, shall we go back in? Your mother will start worrying where we are."

I nodded and put my arm through my dad's as we walked back inside. I hoped that my eyes weren't red and puffy. I put on my smile and chatted with Nahuel and Rosy. I would really miss having Rosy around as she was the closest I had come to having a sister. Nahuel was looking much better the bruises had faded from his face and he was walking easier now. It would take longer for his ribs to heal. I know Carlisle had taped them up tightly for him.

The next morning we all gathered to say goodbye to them. Rosy couldn't say enough how much she appreciated all our help. Nahuel was also truly grateful. She left saying goodbye to me for last.

"Goodbye my Nessie. Take care and we will see each other again. I will miss you little one."

"Bye" I choked "I'm going to miss you too."

She hugged me tightly.

Then I turned to say goodbye to Nahuel.

"Bye Nahuel, please be happy and look after yourself." I said sincerely.

"Bye Nessie, thank you for everything. You have a beautiful soul." He said and kissed my forehead.

Then they were off. I waited until we couldn't see them anymore. Then my mom took my hand gently and led me back to the house.

That night my parents tag teamed me about going back to school.

"Why can't you just home school me?" I challenged.

I wasn't eager to go back to school. I had been out of school for a while now and they would all wonder where I had been.

"There is no discussion, you are going back." My mom said.

"No I don't think I will."

"Nessie why are you so against going back. You are the one who wants more friends around for your birthday and that."

"It just feels weird to be going back after everything that has happened."

"I think it will be good for you to get back to some sort of normalcy in your life." My mom said gently.

"Mom I will never have a normal life." I said grinning at her.

My mom rolled her eyes.

"Nessie it will be good for you, go have some time with your friends. You want us to treat you like an adult then this is how you start to become one."

"Fine I will go but I won't enjoy any of it." I said

"Nessie what is worrying you so much about going back?" My dad asked.

"They are all going to ask questions about where I have been and I don't know what I should tell them."

"We have already taken care of that honey. We told them that you have been really ill and that you have only recovered fully."

"Wow I guess you have thought of everything then."

There was absolutely no excuse left for me not to go, crap.
