Hey friends! Thanks for reviewing, i know everyone says that but i actually sit at the computer 24/7 waiting for emails to come through...

Kay, maybe thats a little deperate =] anywho. Hope you like this chapter...

*Summer*

"My name's Esme Cullen, I am Carlisle's wife, I'm sorry to interrupt but I couldn't help but overhear Embry's conversation with you. He really misses you and I was thinking you might want to come by the house tomorrow, if you want too." She paused, I guess I was supposed to say something but I didn't know what to say… Mrs Cullen was ringing me?

"We just thought that Embry would feel better seeing you. Edward says that he and Leah are very worried." Mrs Cullen continued once I didn't say anything.

"If you don't feel comfortable near us …"

"No, of course I feel fine near you. I … just didn't expect this" I finally spoke, even then it was barely a whisper.

"Well the decision is up too you Lexi. You're welcome here," She said softly.

"Thank you." I said, meaning it.

"Goodbye"

"Bye" I whispered.

The phone went dead and I slumped down on the couch, not believing that the last call was real.

After checking the caller I.D a few times I was convinced. But then I had to decide if I should go or not.

What would Embry say? Wait… No, I already know what he would say.

But I really missed him and I knew he would be driving the others crazy, by thinking of me.

I spent the whole afternoon on the couch. Trying to decide if I was going or not… The sky was darkening but I couldn't find my feet to turn on a light.

7:35 – "I'm going" I yelled standing up.

That was final, I knew Embry would be angry and upset but he would also be thrilled to see me. But I also needed to see him, kiss him. Tell him I loved him. All the mushy stuff involved with being in love.

It wasn't just him I needed to see, I had to make sure the rest of them were okay. Make sure Seth was okay, Make sure they weren't torturing Leah, and to make sure Jacob was okay. Jacob would be hurting because Bella was. He feels her pain.

That was why I was going. Because despite what Embry will say about me being human and being at a house of vampires, I cared about them more.

I was going.

I ran to bed, even though it was 7:45. Fell asleep smiling, and instantly, thinking of my day tomorrow.

I woke up at 7:49. I did notice the empty bed, but soon all the events from the last two days flooded in.

I leaped out of bed and grabbed the phone, checking to see the last call.

"Oh thank god," I whispered once I saw the unfamiliar number.

It wasn't a dream. While I was holding the phone it rung, startling me.

"Hello?" I whispered unsure if I was going crazy.

"Lexi. Hello it's Esme Cullen again, I hope I didn't wake you" The beautiful voice chimed.

"N-No"

"Sorry it is so early. But I was just confirming that you were coming this morning?"

"I-If that's fine with you and you're family" I sounded like the breath had been knocked out of me.

"Of Course Lexi, anytime is fine," She gently laughed.

Mrs Cullen gave me directions to the house and explained the long driveway.

I hung up the phone smiling; I was really going to see Embry soon.

I had told Mrs Cullen that I would be there at 10:30. I don't know why I said so late but it gave me time to clean myself up.

Had a shower and even wore nice clothes. By the time I walked out of the bathroom the time was 9:00.

"Oh man! I still have an hour!" I glared at the kitchen clock.

What should I do? Clean? No the house was immaculate.

Cook! The boys will love it if I turned up with baking.

I pulled on an apron (I know, how old fashioned) and got straight into it.

I made a double batch of the blueberry muffins Emily had taught me, and also two lots of cookies. That should make them feel better.

I was concentrating on not burning the cookies when I noticed the time.

"Shit!" I screamed bundling all the food into a basket.

I grabbed my shoes and was flying out the door, down the stairs and into my car.

While I was speeding up the highway I caught a glimpse of chocolate brown fur blending in with the trees, Quil, he will know I'm going to see them.

I pushed the car faster and weaved in and out of the busy tourist traffic.

I slowed to a crawl once I turned up the driveway, the trees made me feel unsure of my decision, maybe I shouldn't of come?

Then a wolf appeared in the middle of the road forcing me to slam on the breaks, even though I was barely moving I jerked forward.

The sandy coloured wolf stared at me wide eyed and confused then ran into the trees.

I stepped out of the car "Seth?" I called out.

"Seth?" I waited a little under a minuet.

"Lexi? What the heck are yo doing here?" Seth stepped out of the trees running over to me.

"I came to visit you all" I smiled hugging him.

"Does Embry know?" He asked

"Um I … don't know," I admitted, opps I forgot to ask Mrs Cullen.

"Oh well too late, he's about to. Come on you can give me a ride up the driveway." He said jumping into the car.

"Oh yum! Did you bake?" He screamed practically diving at the basket of food.

I laughed, and playfully slapped his hand, "Wait for the others."

We made it to the clearing and there was a beautiful big house. It was mostly just windows but it was gorgeous, I loved it.

"Wow" I sighed stepping out of the car holding the basket.

"Yeah, I know ae…" Seth said still eyeing the basket. Just as he said that the front door opened and out stepped Edward followed by a beautiful lady, she was young but obviously older than Edward, I could guess she was Esme Cullen.

"Hello again Lexi" Edward said, he looked different, his eyes looked pained and hurting. He turned his eyes away obviously hearing my thoughts.

"This is my mother Esme Cullen. You spoke with her on the phone today" He gestured to her, she didn't move forward; instead she stayed back and smiled, trying not to scare me.

"Hello Esme, I'm Lexi…" I stepped forward and held out my hand, I wanted her to know I didn't mind her or the family.

"Lovely to meet you Lexi" she said shaking my hand, it was ice cold, but I was prepared.

"You have a beautiful house" I smiled to her.

"Why thank you …"

"Where is Embry?" I asked turning to Seth

"Uh well he's probably running the perimeter, I'm sure he'll pick up on you're scent soon …" He said glancing around the trees.

"He hasn't picked up on her yet," Edward, murmured, I could tell he didn't want to be outside, he was looking back at the door every few seconds.

"Go inside Edward, I'll talk to Embry outside." I smiled and waved him away.

"Really, thank you for inviting me…But I'm guessing he will be a little surprised to see me here" I chuckled.

"Yes, you're right. Nice to see you Lexi. Goodbye" Both Edward and Esme disappeared inside.

"Um I'll phase and tell him you're here but first you have to give me one muffin and a cookie" I laughed and opened the basket; he looked like a child on Christmas.

"Go on, before I change my mind" I chuckled. He grabbed two muffins and a few biscuits, and was off in the trees leaving me to sit outside this beautiful mansion alone.

It hadn't even been 5minuets when I could hear people calling out from the trees.

"Lexi?"

"Lexi!"

I thought it was funny that I could hear their voices before I could actually see them.

Once they broke through the trees I could see Leah and Embry running towards the car. Panic written on both their faces. I got out of the car and jumped at Embry.

"God I've missed you" I sighed kissing every part of him I could.

"What – What are you doing here?" He gushed kissing me back.

"Coming to see you" I leant my head on his shoulder taking in a deep breath through my nose.

He gently put me back on the ground but kept both arms around me.

"Lexi, you shouldn't be here… You're human" Leah said glaring at me.

"Chill Leah, Mrs Cullen invited me up too see you." I playfully hit her arm.

"No, I don't like it Lex, Leah is right. It's too dangerous you being here" Embry held me tighter to his chest.

"No, I'll stay outside. It's fine!" I insisted, they both looked at me disapprovingly.

"Jeez Leah, I didn't know you cared so much" I grinned trying to brighten the mood.

She rolled her eyes and smirked " I don't care but apparently the almighty alpha's gone delusional and now thinks you're his baby sister. I have orders to follow" She ruffled my hair playfully.

"Get out she-wolf. Where is Jake anyway?" I smacked her hand off my head, they both laughed and seemed to relax a little.

"Sleeping" Leah shrugged.

"Lex, when was the last time you slept? You look shattered." Embry said brushing his fingers around the dark rings around my eyes.

"I'm fine. I slept abit last night" It wasn't a lie. I hadn't had the best sleep but it was better than nothing.

"She didn't sleep the night I stayed" Leah said, I shot her a glare and she chuckled.

"Lexi love, why didn't you sleep yesterday?"

"I was about to when, we got a unexpected visitor" I smiled up at Embry.

"Unexpected visitor?" He repeated

"Yeah, he wasn't too happy." I laughed nervously

"Who?" He asked getting angry

"Ha! Take one guess Em; of course it was Sam. Looking for you," She snorted.

"Actually he was looking for you Leah,"

"What did he say?" They both said at the same time.

"Well he wanted you to be at the meeting with the elders, and I said you left at dawn. He figured out that you left then I let it slip that you went as well" I squeezed Embry's hand "He was furious" I shook my head at the memory. Both of them winced.

"He didn't say anything else?" Leah asked

"Well, I sort of yelled at him…?"

Before they could say anything else a loud howl exploded from the forest. It was louder than I ever heard.

"Someone's here" Leah said running into the trees shaking.

"Go Embry," I kissed his hand.

"No, you cant be alone if they are going to attack." He said fiercely.

The door of the house flew open and out ran a gorgeous pixie-like girl and Edward.

"She can stay inside" Edward said, walking towards us.

"No" Embry growled

"She will be safe," The little girl said soothingly.

"No"

"Embry, I'll be fine. Please I don't want anything to happen to Jake Leah and Seth" I pulled away from his embrace, it hurt to let him go but I knew it was right.

"They need you," I said.

He was torn between the pack or me; he turned and looked at Edward.

"Please… keep her safe" He kissed my cheek then was running into the trees shaking.

When I couldn't see him anymore I turned to Edward and the beautiful girl.

"Lexi, we must get inside…" Edward said hurriedly.

I ran up the stairs and in the huge door.

The inside of the house was amazing, huge and open. I continued to stare at the beautiful room when I realised there were other people besides Edward and the unknown girl.

"Um Lexi, this is my sister Alice and her partner Jasper" He gestured towards the pixie like girl and her tall and muscular partner.

"Rosalie and Emmett, and Carlisle and Esme" He pointed them all out.

Rosalie was beautiful, the sort of girl you would never introduce to you're boy friend, for fear of loosing him.

Emmett was big and looked like a weightlifter.

Carlisle looked a little nervous along with Esme.

"Hello Lexi" a croaky voice said from the couch.

"Bella?" I asked stepping forward slightly, as I did, the blond one hissed and stepped in front of me.

"Rose, it's fine" Bella said. I stepped backwards and was debating if I should run away.

"No, stay here Lexi." Edward said suddenly standing beside me, causing me to get a fright.

"I'm sorry," He murmured

"No, it's fine. I'll just wait in the car…" I backed towards the door.

"No, come here Lexi" I saw Bella try and lean forward then gasped in pain.

"Bella!" Edward was at her side instantly

"No, it's okay, he's just … stretching" She winced.

I stood and stared as she bit down on her lip and took deep breaths, once she relaxed a bit she flopped back into the cushions.

"You're scaring Lexi" She whispered to them.

"No, you're not" I interrupted.

The blond girl threw me a dirty look.

Man what's her freaking problem? She didn't want me to be here? Fine I just came to see Embry. I'll leave.

"Come have a seat Lexi, Edward, can you hear what's going on?" Carlisle said, shuffling Rosalie out of the way and gesturing me over.

I sat awkwardly but Bella gave me a big smile.

Edward recited everything that was happening, but I couldn't understand he talked so fast and low that it was impossible to hear.

"How's the baby?" I whispered to Bella.

Her face lit up and her hands dropped to her stomach.

"He's growing fast. My body's struggling to keep up" She chuckled a little.

"I never said, but … congratulations" She looked at me weirdly then smiled bigger.

"No ones said that. Thank you" She continued to stroke her belly.

Bella was looking very sick. She was freakishly thin and her skin was greyish, you could definitely tell she was ill.

But I hadn't thought to ask… how was the pack? Were they being attacked? Would Sam attack his brothers? Or Leah?

"Lexi, are you okay?" I turned around to see the blond boy looking at me curiously.

"Sorry?" I whispered.

"She's just thinking of the pack," Edward said touching Jaspers shoulder.

"They are fine Lexi, Sam has no intention of fighting." He turned back to me. I smiled and sat back into the seat.

"So how did you meet the pack? I never heard," Bella asked still touching her bulging tummy tenderly.

"I started school and ran into Embry, then he imprinted, asked me out and well …"

"Love at first sight" She sighed smiling at me again.

"Yeah, something like that."

"Its like magic…" she stared at her unborn child with love filled eyes.

"What is?"

"Imprinting… its like magic" She closed her eyes and leant her head on the cushions.

"Yeah it is," I mumbled, I was battling to keep my eyes open also, I lost that fight.

I fell into a light sleep, I could occasionally hear the flutter of someone running past, and then I felt a blanket be placed over me. In spite of were I was - a coven of vampires - I was feeling safe. I snuggled into the couch arm and let sleep find me.

??? Thoughts?
