Everyone in the room was tense. Megs stepped in front of Aneko, ready to defend Jared, when Aneko leapt.
Aneko lunged instinctually at Jared, and Megs lunged at the same time. Aneko was stronger than Megs was, so I jumped in and restrained her arms.
"Megs, get Jared out of here. Emmett, take her arms!" I ordered.
Emmett stepped behind me and took her arms, Megs ushered the shaking Jared out, and I moved to cover Aneko's mouth and nose.
"Aneko, calm down. Focus!" I exclaimed, as she struggled against Emmett and I.
Aneko relaxed and let us tow her out of the house. We ran her deep into the forest, away from any smell besides the outdoors.
We let her go, and she took a deep breath.
"I am so sorry! I don't know what happened; I swear I didn't mean to!" Aneko apologized.
"It's okay Aneko. You'll get used to it; you just have to be prepared. It'll be hard for you, and so will everything else," I comforted… sort of.
"Let's hunt, and then we can try this again," I suggested. Aneko nodded and shot off.
We returned some time later, and Edward found Megs and Jared. They agreed to try again.
"Okay, Aneko, take deep breaths. It'll take some time, but you'll get used to the smell, and then we can bring in the real werewolf," I advised.
Aneko sat on the couch, scowling, wrapped up in one of Jared's t-shirts. She spent an hour like that, not moving and breathing deeply.
"Werewolves stink," Aneko muttered. I laughed.
"Okay, let's try the real thing. Keep your breathing steady. Remind yourself he is a person, Megs loves him, and he is a part of this family," I advised.
Edward walked out of the room and slowly led Jared and Megs in. They walked into the living room and paused. Aneko tensed for a minute, and her breathing became shallower.
"Deep, full breaths, Aneko," I reminded.
Two hours later, Aneko sat somewhat relaxed beside Jared and Megs. We applauded until there was a knock on the door. The room fell completely silent.
"Jasper, Rosalie, Bella, Aneko, go hide upstairs," Alice hissed. We all raced upstairs and sat in my bedroom.
I could hear everyone pretend to be sobbing. Carlisle stood and answered the door.
"Dr. Cullen?" a deep voice asked.
"Y-yes, how may I help you?" Carlisle stuttered.
"We are investigating the deaths of your children and… Miss Aneko. Can we come in?" the voice asked.
"I suppose. I don't think many of us could tell you what exactly happened, though," Carlisle replied softly.
"Of course, Doctor. We just need as much information as we can get," the man stated.
There was shuffling in the living room, and some sniffling.
"Now, I am going to need all of your names, and your relation to the deceased," the voice ordered.
"Alright. As you know, I am Carlisle Cullen, I am—was—Bella, Jasper, and Rosalie's father. Aneko was a friend of Bella's, coming camping with us. This is my wife Esme, and my daughter Megs. That is Edward, he is—was—Bella's boyfriend, his brother Emmett, Rosalie's boyfriend, and their sister Alice, Jasper's girlfriend. That is Jared, Megs's boyfriend," Carlisle explained.
"Fiancé," Alice whispered.
"What?" Carlisle asked, surprised.
"J-Jasper proposed to me, before we left," Alice sobbed.
"Oh, Honey," Esme comforted.
"Where are their parents?" the man asked, referring to Edward, Emmett, and Alice.
"They are away visiting friends in Alaska. We are very close, and are taking care of their children while their away," Esme explained.
"Alright. Does anyone know what happened before they went over?" he asked.
"Yeah, we were driving behind them. Rose was driving, and when they went to turn, she over judged it. They were going too fast, and she tried to pull the break, but she kept trying to turn also. They spun out and went over," Edward whispered.
"I'm sorry. Thank you. I think I have everything I need," the man stated, getting up.
"Sir, could you ensure this stays out of the media? Bella—she wouldn't want the attention. Please keep the details to a minimum," Carlisle requested.
"We don't give anything but names to the media," the man reassured Carlisle before leaving.
As soon as the door closed, we were all downstairs.
"I proposed to you again, huh?" Jasper teased Alice.
"Yup! And we are having a pink wedding!" Alice trilled.
"We did that twenty years ago, Alice," Jasper reminded, rolling his eyes.

We were living in the rainforest; we had met old friends of Carlisle's and were enjoying the wildlife. We had been living here for five years. Aneko found her power; she could draw things to life. For example, if she drew a tiger, she could will it to come alive, and it would be a completely alive tiger.
Megs and Jared were engaged, and the wedding would be in a week. Zafrina, a member of the amazons, was inviting other Amazonians to the wedding, and we also invited all of our vampire friends.
Edward walked Megs down the aisle, and sat down in the front row. I was her maid of honor, and Rosalie, Esme, and Aneko were bride's maids. Jared invited down a few werewolf friends to be his best men, and Emmett was the ring bearer. Carlisle was the minister, and Alice the flower girl. Jasper was an usher, along with a nomad whom I didn't know.
He was tall, around nineteen, and was a vegetarian. He had shaggy black hair, and his skin was a creamy brown, like a mocha latté. He was strong, and was a telekinetic. Aneko watched him throughout the wedding, and the after party. In fact, He watched her when she wasn't looking too.
"Aneko, go talk to him!" I exclaimed, nudging her towards him.
"Him? No, I couldn't." Aneko shook her head rapidly.
"Fine." I smirked and walked over to him. "Hi, I'm Bella, what's your name?" I asked, I glanced over at Aneko, and she was gaping at me.
"My name is Naum, You are Megs's mother right?" he asked. His voice had a slight Russian accent.
"Yes I am. Did you enjoy the wedding?" I asked.
"I did. You seem to be friends with her, correct?" Naum asked, nodding to Aneko.
"Yes, I am. She is my sister." I smiled.
"If I asked her to dance with me, do you think she would accept?" Naum asked, not looking at me.
"She would definitely say 'yes'. I have been trying to get her to talk to you all night, but she is a little shy." I smiled.
"Thank you, Bella. It was nice meeting you." Naum smiled, and walked over to Aneko.
She nodded to him and they began to dance.
OK so this may seem like a filler chapter, but I used the later part to set the stage for the next chapter. I am planning on wrapping visions up, so if there is something that hasn't happened that you want to, let me know and I'll see if it can be worked into the story.
Thanks twilight-is-lovee for betaing this story so well.
