(Karter's pov)

after i finished spilling my guts about the incident to Carlisle Seth had to go out on guys came back in and I had to help Quill and Embry with homework, even Jared needed some help on advanced ratios.

"Karter how are you so smart?",asked Quill.

"Well when Sam shifted and left me on my own, I took advanced classes so I could play football. Then over the summer I'd have Sue drive me to a collage in Seattle where I took classes with collage students",I told them.

Sam looked up from the news paper he was reading and a flash of hurt and pain crossed his face at the memory of him ignoring me. I shook my head and set up problems for Quill and Embry to solve as I worked with Jared.

We finished our homework and I decided to go upstairs and change. I took a shower, I finished and went back into my room. I changed into a pair of black shorts that go to my knees and LaPush high T-shirt, I braided my shoulder length hair into two small braids on the side. I grabbed my iPod and my blue ear-buds and went back downstairs. I sat in-between Sam and Embry and put on Debussy, no one not even Seth knows this but I'm a sucker for classical music.

"Karter, what the hell are you listening to?",asked Paul.

"Debussy...",I say.

"?".

"Clair De Lune".

"?".

"Seriously nothing, you guys don't know what Debussy is?",I ask.

They all shake their heads.

"Unbelievable",I sigh laying my head on Embry's shoulder and fell asleep.

(SAMs pov)

I saw her eyes close and Embry's moved his arm over her shoulder pulling her closer. Embry is definitely her big brother. I reach over and pull the earbuds out if her ears and turn the music off, I wrap the earbuds around her iPod and set it on the side table. Embry got my memo and lifted her up and carried her upstairs to her room.


Its been a while since Karter fell asleep then Seth came in and Paul went out. Thats when we hear the screaming. Seth ran faster than shit up the stairs with us following, I look in to see Seth holding her hand trying to wake her up. She's thrashing around,screaming, sweating, and crying. I tell Quil To go get a cup of water from the bathroom, he comes back in and I pour the smallest amount of water on her eyes open and she sits up crying and shaking.I go and grab her face in my hands.

"Karter Karter, shhhhh",I said, trying to calm her.

" Bret he...he got me... He did it again. He's gonna hurt me again",she cries.

"Karter Bret's in Jail, it was just a dream. He didn't hurt you, he's not even on the reservation",Said Seth.

"But...But".

"It was just a dream he won't hurt you",I say.

We all leave and let Seth calm her. He looks at me asking to spend the night with her, only with his eyes. I nod in sympathy and go back downstairs.


(Karter's pov)

I woke up curled next to Seth with his arm thrown over my waist. I got out of his grasp and re-tied up my hair as I went to my closet, I chose a pair of blue jeans and one of Seth's red hoodies over a white T-shirt. I pulled on my beat up black sneakers. As I went downstairs I kept my head down, not looking anyone in the eye. I grab a muffin, my phone,my bag and went out the door going to anywhere but my house. i grabbed my bike and pedaled to a park on the res.

I pull up and lock my bike up and go oven to an oak tree, I swing my foot up on a low hanging brancH and climb up the tree until I reach a nest of crossing branches and sit my back up against the trunk. I pull my book out and start to read, until I hear the voices of my brothers. Oh shit.

"Karter, Karter, Karter",they shout.

Well the best part is, since I'm SAMs sister he can't alpha order me cause I have the alphas power too. Just not as much. I sit and make no noises or movements as they look for me. Then Sam pulls his phone out to call me, shit. I pull out my phone and silence it and turn off the vibration, sucker.

"Hey guys I see her!",shouts Embry.

I jump down from the tree and start running with my bag over my chest. Then I feel a hand grab my arm I look to see Sam.

"Samuel Levi Uley, let me go",I growled.

I started hitting and kicking trying to get him to let me go. I don't like people touching me like they usually would anymore, Sam was holding my waist and that's one of the places I don't want him touching. I scream once more telling him to get me go.

"Samuel put me down, NOW. I want you to put me down",I said.

Then tears start coming to my eyes and soon down my cheeks, Sam hears and sets me down and I sink to the ground. He kneels down and looks at me trying to pry my hands from my face, but they wouldn't budge. I picks me up and hands me to Quil as we run home.

"Do you want anything Katie?",he asks.

"Alexander",I say. Now Alexander was a stuffed rabbit Sam picked out for me at the hospital in the gift-shop with his own money, the day I was born. I named him. He's a white rabbit with carmel spots on it and his front right paw is night black.

"Guys stop by my house on the way",Sam ordered.

We drove and then stopped, the car door opened and closed. Then 3 minutes later the door reopens and closes, I feel the soft fabric on my wrist as the car starts up. I reach out and hold it in my hand and pull it close to my chest. No matter how old I am, Alexander will always be my security blanket of some sort. We get to the house and Seth's name is called over and over again. I feel a pair of warm hands on my arms, slowly prying them off my face.

"Kat, Karter, look at me",he says.

I shake my head and feel him begrudgingly lift me up onto his lap on the grass. I uncover my eyes and he pulls a strand of hair behind my ear and kissed my nose.

"Babe why'd you start to cry when Sam picked you up?",he asked.

"Bret...".

He got the message and held me closer, until I saw black.


Hey guys hope y'all had a good thanksgiving break. 5 reviews until I update.
