ZPOV!

I watched Riley watch the movie that she picked out. It was scary, to her, but to me nothing was scary. Except for losing Riley or someone in my family. Those thoughts haunted me. She jumped through the whole thing. I would never understand why she terrorizes herself this way. My mind was elsewhere.

I was afraid that Riley and Ryan were not safe, because of the nomads that picked up on our scent. They smelled the Cullen's in Forks, and us, in Seattle. They picked up Riley's and Ryan's scent off of Tanya and me. We both were worried. I was having flashbacks.

I had left Riley that morning, running beside Tanya. She was thinking about the night before, something I had no desire to relive in her head. So I thought about my own night, watching Riley sleep. She had been so peaceful. I watched her sleep in my arms. Her curly hair fell on her face and I brushed it away. She would groan then roll over. I pulled her close and breathed in her scent. Morning came fast, and I left and here I was.

We arrived at the Cullens, no more later than usual. I smelled a different scent, and Tanya noticed too. We walked in the house, and there they were. I swept through their minds. The man was named David, and the woman was Scarlett. Scarlett has a developed sense of smell. She could pick up something from miles away. David was super fast. Like Edward.

I didn't like this at all. I felt a dark look come across my face. Edward picked up on it immediately.

Carlisle is trying to get them to go the opposite way of Seattle.

What?!

They were headed towards there. Carlisle is trying to convince them to go North. Don't worry, it'll work out.

My hands clenched and unclenched. I was infuriated. Riley texted me, and I texted her back. Hours, later, she had called me telling me she was going home with Ryan. They were afraid too. I told Edward, in our own little way that I was going back. Tanya went with me.

That brought me back to where we were now. The movie had gone off and Riley was getting under the covers. I brushed her mouth with my lips ever so lightly, and watched her drift to sleep.

My phone buzzed and I put it to my ear.

"Hello?"

"Zander. Carlisle couldn't change their minds. They are coming up there. Be careful. We are coming up there. Don't do anything until we get there." Michelle said. Fear stunned me, pinning me to Riley's bed. I hung up.

"Tanya!" I hissed.

"What?!" She hissed back.

"They're coming." I heard her gasp. She ran to me, with fear in her eyes. I stood up and hugged her.

"Michelle, Zane, Harper, and Jade are coming. We can fight them off. Don't worry." I sounded more convincing than I felt. Honestly, the same thing happened to Edward and Bella. Except Edward overreacts and takes things into his own hands. I wasn't going to take Riley and just drive away over something this miniscule. I was still scared. And that never happened. Riley was bringing out all my emotions again. Is this what its like to be bi-polar?

In about five minutes, my family had showed up.

"We searched around their house. No sign of them. We'll go look around school and all over town. Nothing will happen." Zane said, looking from me to Tanya. Her face betrayed her emotions.

I decided we had better stay there as a precaution.

We sat in the hallway between Riley's and Ryan's room. I figured now was a good time to talk to Tanya.

"How do you feel about all this? I mean, my emotions are driving me crazy. I mean I'm scared to death for both of them. And being in love is so overwhelming. I feel bad for humans." I said sitting against the wall. She nodded.

"I feel the same way. Everything is overpowering. I haven't had to hunt as much. I'm glad we found them."

I kept looking back to Riley's room. It bugged me that I couldn't be in there with her. I didn't like her being alone. I listened carefully. I heard two people breathing. My breath whooshed out.

Tanya and I sat and talked for a little while. She went to check on Ryan. It was around 3 in the morning. I went to see Riley. She was twisted in the sheets, turning back and forth, grunting.

I ran to her bedside and pressed my palm to her forehead. She couldn't stop moving. I shook her. "Riley, get up." I said forcefully.

Her eyes opened and she looked up at me. Her face was tear stained and her breathing was uneven.

"You weren't here. Where did you go?" She started crying again. I sat down beside her. My arms wound around her and she fell into my lap, crying.

"Shh. It'll be ok. Please calm down." I rubbed her back, wishing she would stop. Seeing her like this bothered me more than anything. I kissed her head, her neck, her cheeks. She stopped crying but she clung to me.

"I was in the hallway with Tanya. Are you ok?" I asked her.

"No. I was having a nightmare and it was about those vampires. Have you heard anything?" I couldn't lie but I didn't want her to freak out.

"Michelle and them came here. Last I heard they were coming to Seattle. We haven't seen hide nor tail of them." I heard a rusting noise. I looked to the window. I saw bright red eyes. Riley followed my gaze and she screamed. Tanya and Ryan ran into the room. The eyes disappeared. I growled.

"What?! What happened?!" Ryan yelled. Riley was in tears again.

"It's not safe here. I'm calling Michelle." I pulled out my phone and pressed buttons.

"Michelle they're here. Bring me the car. Now." I hung up and I heard the purr of our Ferrari.

I picked up Riley and Tanya and Ryan followed. I dropped Riley into the car and Ryan climed in the back.

We'll stay here. Go back to Forks. Harper thought toward me.

I drove fast, my foot to the floor, trying to keep my everything safe. Riley was all I cared about. My nerves were on edge. I felt like Edward but nothing could come between her and I.

Ryan sat in the back by himself. Tanya was looking for the Nomads. She was tailing us, making sure they weren't following.

Scarlett has picked up their scent. David is still in Seattle. I heard Tanya. I growled. Riley crawled in the back and curled up next to Ryan. She was crying again. Ryan put his arms around her and she buried her face into his chest, clinging to his arms. I wanted to be him right now but I needed to focus on getting them to safety in Forks, and away from these monsters.

We drove for a few more minutes and then I was pulling into the Cullen's driveway. I pulled the key out of the ignition and pulled Riley from the backseat, running into the house, with Ryan behind me.

"Where are they?" Edward asked, looking at me.

"I don't know." I growled.

"Zander, calm down." Carlise said.

I set Riley down on the ground and Alice ran to her and hugged her. She started crying again. I was surprised that she still had tears left. Ryan sat down on our couch and put his head in his hands.

This is awful. I feel like I can't protect my own sister. I'm scared to death. I can't wait until this is over.

I felt bad for Ryan. Nessie was in Bella's arms. She hopped down and ran over to Ryan. Her hand flew to his face. He looked up and smiled. Alice was taking Riley upstairs to the bed in Edward's old room. Looked like they were staying the night. I took Ryan to my room.

"You can sleep here. When Tanya comes she'll stay with you." I turned to leave.

"Zander..?" I turned back.

"Yes?"

"You will get them and destroy them right? I wish I could do something because I feel like I need to protect my sister, but I can't. Will you do that for me? Protect my sister from the one thing I can't?" He pleaded with me. I wanted to protect her too. We thought so much the same.

"Of course. I want her safe too." I left. I went to Edward's old room. Bella was there with Riley. They were talking and Riley was drinking some water. I knocked on the door.

"Can I step in, Bells?"

"Sure. Goodnight, Riley."

"'Night Bella."

I laid down next to Riley. She snuggled up to me. I held her and breathed in her scent. She sighed. Her breath was ragged and uneven. I kissed her hair, her neck, her nose, and then her lips.

"I love you." I whispered in her ear.

"Mmm." She said, almost asleep.

"I'll protect you with everything I have. I won't leave you. Only when it's nesessary. I'll stay with you every second until they're gone." I kissed her forehead and watched her slip into unconsciousness.

ok so i felt like this was nesessary and kinda boring but if you dont think so review away!
