Following the burial at the cemetery, we all returned home. I began to feel a sense of emptiness, like a part of me was lost, which was true, my grandfather was as much a part of me as anyone else had been. The second this feeling came on Jacob was at my side, he took my hand sweetly into his and looked into my eyes, a look of worry etched on his features. My eyes filled with tears and I looked down, hoping he wouldn't notice. All day my act worked and now, it failed miserably.

"Jake, I'm going to go to bed ok?" I asked him, swallowing hard so that tears wouldn't form anymore.

"Ok Ness," He said, "Want me to come with you?"

"Nah, I am actually just really tired. You should go and be with your father, he and Charlie were really close you know." I said.

"Ok. I understand." He said, kissing me lightly on the lips before leaving. "I love you, goodnight."

"I love you too Jake, good night." After I bid him farewell I went to lie down in my bed. Sleep, at least, was a stress free zone. I would get lost in one of my pleasant, vivid dreams and just get away for a while. That was when I heard the sound of a frog croaking, which meant I had a text message. I sighed and reached for the floor to grab my phone, but before I could reach, my body was halfway off the bed and there was no way for me to pull myself up. I checked and saw that the message was from Nahuel before losing my balance and falling head first on the floor.

"Nessie what are you doing?" My dad asked when he walked in and saw me lying flat on the floor.

"I fell off the bed." I sighed, knowing he was going to laugh.

"That's mighty clever of you!" He laughed, coming over to help me up. I sighed and got back into my bed, wiping the tears off of my face and hoping my dad wouldn't notice, but of course…he noticed since he is after all, a mind reader.

"Nessie its ok," He said hugging me. "Why don't you come in here with your Mum and me for a while?"

"Ok." I said. "Don't tell Mum I was crying though." I whispered at a very low level where only my father could hear. I walked into the living room, my Mum sitting on the couch with her knees pulled up to her chest. I went over and hugged her, trying to make her feel better but started crying myself at the same time.

"Nessie, it's alright, it was his time, and he lived an excellent long life." She said rubbing my back as I cried. This was the first time she had spoken in the last 2 days. I was relieved and saddened at the same time. She was only saying that to comfort me, but at the same time, she was talking. I didn't look up to read my Dad's expression but eventually I did stop crying. I wish I wasn't such a child sometimes…

I looked up at my mother and her expression was of worry. I hated being the only human around here; it makes emotions so clear because you can't stop these foolish tears from falling even when you want it to look like things are ok. It's just not fair!

"I'm sorry." I said. "I just lost control for a second; I want to go to bed now if that's ok." More of those stupid tears welled up in my eyes as I walked out but I pleaded in my head with my father to leave me alone, I felt as if I was only causing more stress for my mother.

"Nessie don't ever think like that! It is ok for you to cry." My mum said.

"Ok. I won't anymore. Goodnight I love you!" I said before walking out of the room. My dad didn't go to my room after me, because I begged him to just let me be alone. I opened my text message when I got there, blocking the thought that I was texting by thinking about other things. The text message from Nahuel was simply asking if I was ok. I replied honestly, I felt like I could be honest with him because he didn't really care. I mean, he did, but he wasn't going to freak out and drive over here if he knew that I was depressed. He would just talk to me rationally, which I liked. Or so I thought that was what he would do…

Our text conversation went as follows:

Nahuel: Hey Nessie are you ok?

Nessie: No…I feel like a part of me just died.

Nahuel: aww…I know exactly what you need

Nessie: And what is that?

Nahuel: let's go hunting

Nessie: ok…that's fine with me I'll meet you in the woods by my house.

Nahuel: OK 

After I put my phone down I changed into something besides my yellow dress. I wore a pair of short shorts and a tee shirt with my feet bare, my usual hunting attire. I found it much easier to run with bare feet rather than having to worry with shoes that come untied when you run too fast or even worse, sandals. Soon, I was ready to go into the woods.

"Hey, I'm going to go on a quick hunting trip in our woods if that's ok with you guys." I said to my parents.

"Of course, that's fine." They both said. I didn't think about the fact that I was going with Nahuel for fear that my dad may get the same bad feelings about him as Jasper.

"Ok, love you both, bye." I smiled. After walking out the door I could already see Nahuel.

"Hey, let's go." He whispered only where I could hear.

"Ok." I whispered back. We ran deeper and deeper into the woods until we came out in Port Angeles.

"What are we doing?" I whispered. "We won't find any good bears or deer here."

He laughed darkly and looked at me with his green eyes; they had a red undertone to them…

"Nahuel…you don't mean…" I trailed off.

"That's exactly what I mean Nessie! It's the only way for a vampire to get over anything; it's how I got over everything…" He said.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"It's a long story, much too dull for your liking." He said.

"No. If you want to tell me I want to know." I said.

"Later. Right now we hunt!" He laughed.

"I'm on a different diet! Remember?" I explained.

"Follow me." He said. "I will show how this is done."

I followed him and we sat on the side of a house. I could hear the screaming of a child inside and I looked to see her father doing terrible things to her. He threw her against the wall and knocked her unconscious, and then he took off her clothes and I couldn't bear another minute of it! This was horrifying!

"He deserves to die Nessie; we are only doing what must be done." Nahuel explained.

I wasn't thinking logically any more, how could he do such things to his own child? I ran inside and tackled him with the force I would use to tackle a large bear. He fell to the ground and a woman came out of the shadows. I didn't know who she was or who the little girl even was, but I could tell that this man had hurt them, he was an unnecessary person who deserved to die. The taste of the blood in my mouth was like no other. I was dazed in drinking it, wanting more and more. I felt the pain of everything slip away as I drank until there was nothing. I was full then, I felt satisfied but also dizzy. I wasn't ashamed of what I had done at all. The woman actually thanked me! She thanked me for killing the father of her child!

I started to think of what the world was coming to, terrible things happening all of the time. Nothing good ever happens with these dreadful creatures known as humans, but now this one wouldn't be able to hurt his child anymore or his wife for that matter. They were safe. Nahuel smiled when he saw me.

"Job well done!" He said.
