Paul placed a hand on her shoulder as she started to squirm and get really uncomfortable with the situation. He leaned down to talk to her for a second. "Tell the story, and then we can go back to my place and have some fun after your conversation with Sam."

She glanced up at him and could not believe her ears. "I hate being in this position. Paul, I love you but right now this is really confusing the feelings that are inside me right now I don't know if they are my own or if they are someone else?"

Jasper walked over to her placing a hand on her chin making her look at him. "Carm, it is hard at first to understand that gift and it will take time to master it but just like mind reading it will come with practice."

Carm's eyes turned bright red as she glared at Jasper. "I don't want to learn how to have patients with this I want it to be gone right now. Why in any one's name would you stand there for twenty minutes trying to get me to calm down when you knew that none of it was going to work?"

As Carm was speaking Quil had edged himself closer to her until he was right up touching her and his hand was on her shoulder and his mouth was to her ear. "You want to find yourself in your same predicament you were in yesterday with Paul gone and me on top of you. Continue this behaviour. Trust me none of us here will hesitate to get you off of that stump and onto the grass in the same position as you were in yesterday. Think about your next move wisely, you know I am the fair and patient one out of everyone here but you start to test mine and you can only imagine how bad Sam's are at the time being." He stood up and glared down at her.

Carm turned her head, and started to kick her feet against the stump she was sitting on. "Okay, here we go with the story." He glared over at Edward whose eyes were on her. She took her right hand and put it up to her ear and then moved it to her mouth letting her index finger make a keep quiet symbol to him. She let the wall down that was around her she did not have the strength to keep it up and keep from doing anything stupid with Paul around.

Edward smiled and nodded to her as he knew what she meant. She was going to let him listen to her thoughts and if the story got to be too much she would no doubt tell him what to say to finish telling the story. Yet for the time being she was going to let him listen to her thoughts as long as he did not tell them to anyone.

Carm shut her eyes after she acknowledged his unspoken agreement to the deal they had just made. 'I know you can hear me and you are probably wondering why I am letting you do that right now. It is not so you can tell the story if I stop. If I stop because of something you will not be able to get inside at any cost. It is so I can ask you something. That girl you all seen in the vision, I know that you know who she is. How many classes do I have with her at school? P.S. How did her scent get into the forest the other day?' She opened her eyes and looked at him. "Back when I was in Volterra when I was living in the coven just outside of the city, you all know about the torture I went through with Jane and Alec. Only some of you guys, actually almost all of you don't know that it was something that was nice. I know the pain that Edward and Alice have felt at the hand of the Volturi and at the hands or mind of Jane. But I am telling you that it is sometimes not that way. Sometimes that pain is the highest point of your day.

"You all have to understand and most of you do that my loyalty is something that everyone in both the city and the coven wanted. There are only two of us out there that have escaped the wrath that Aro seems to have. The other you can say that he is my brother Marco. But I got sidetracked again back to the story. Loyalty is something we all know can't be bought but some vampires can put it on you. Parent, is the one that I told you about who can give and take trust away. A while after everything started with Jane and Alec my trust in him started to waver. Jane was being very kind to me and laying off on the harshness of the torture she was doing during the day and Alec as stepping in sometimes and making me feel nothing from them. They both understood what Aro wanted and they knew that if he ever did get what he wanted that their usefulness would not be as much. Although they are both loyal members of the guard to him that is not what I mean, but that is a completely different story one that is not mine to tell and one that I don't know fully anyway.

"Alec and Jane were starting to see that I was coming to trust them more when we were out of the sight of Parent and I was able to get rid of his presence in my head. The two of them started to come earlier to pick me up from the city. I had brushed it off of Parent by saying that Aro was getting impatient with me and that he did not want to have to wait much longer for me to give up the location of Tierra and for me to become his. What was really happening during that time was Alec was bringing me to his room and making me feel nothing for a while before I had to go meet up with Jane in the chamber. She was rough with me and as I said sometimes Alec would step in and Aro could see Jane trying hard. The deal was that as long as I acted like it was really hurting that he would continue doing whatever he could to make my time less painful.

"A little while before everything that caused my departure happened before beginning one day Alec quietly took me to another room in the palace and told me that we needed to talk about something. We went into a small room that he said we would not be disturbed in if they value their life and he told me that Tierra was no longer safe where she was, that some of the members of the coven that I was living in were planning to give her over to Aro and claim that I was the only one who knew where she was. When I asked who was leading all of this he hesitated to tell me that it was Parent.

"We both agreed that it was not time for Tierra to go to the council and Alec volunteered to hide her for me. That night he, Jane, Felix and Heidi came and stole her away from the coven. Parent was in an uproar when it happened but she is safely hidden away from everyone who wanted to use her as a weapon."

Edward looked at her and smiled. "You have never told us what Tierra can do."

Carm smiled and looked up at him for a second before answering his question, she asked one of her own in her head. 'Why does my body love the touch of Paul's warmth but it seems to shy away from the warmth of everyone else's touch? Answer that one later for me as for the other questions that I asked you, you can answer them when I manage to get home after this fun time with Sam at Paul's house.' She watched him nod again before she answered his question. "Tierra has the ability to well somewhat what I can do. Only she can join abilities but she has no storage capability so if she was to join my ability with let's say Marco's that would be bad. It would give her and endless amount of power at her finger tips for about 10 minutes. Join any two abilities together and let them weave within her and then she can instantly use them. There is not time needed to learn how they work like what I am going through with Jasper's right now."

Carlisle walked up to Carm and smiled at her giving her a hug. "Carm I know this was hard for you to tell us and I am happy that you did decide to let Edward listen to the story in your head. We know you took the wall down. But you have a promise to Jasper that you need to come clean on at one point over the next little while we all know about that one too."

Carm smiled at him and got off the stump and walked over to Jasper placing her hand on his cheek. "You still want to feel what I felt when I came down the stairs the other day?"

Jasper nodded. "You did promise that when it was all over you would let me feel exactly what you felt on that day at that exact second when you walked down the stairs."

Worry shot across Carm's face. She had been hoping that he would have said no about feeling that. She did not want anyone to feel what she had felt. Especially not him, the feelings were all entangled right now with more worry and more scared because of the situations of the past day. "Alright but I have to warn you they are much stronger now than they were then." She sighed letting the wall down completely and releasing everything she has been holding inside of her. She shut her eyes as to not see the shock or hurt on his face. She knew the second she seen that she would rein everything back in and not let it out again. She knew that the physical contact between the two of them made it a million times stronger and for a few minutes she wanted that. For him to feel that he did not want him to ever ask for this again from her. When it was all over she opened her eyes to see his face.

Jasper smiled. "You gave me what I wanted but I doubt I will ever want to see that again unless you have had a really good day." He shook his head for a few seconds and then looked over at Emmett. "Emmett you want to go hunting after what I just saw I could use a trip."

Emmett smiled and nodded. "Let's go for a bit. I could use some of it myself."

The two of them took off. Edward walked over to Carm and smiled at her before turning to Sam. "I want to borrow Carm for a few seconds at the edge of the clearing." Sam nodded as Edward led her away a few yards from the rest of the group standing there. The girls had taken off to go back home and Carlisle had left with Esme to have some time together just the two of them.

Carm looked at him, "What is this about?"

Edward pinched the bridge of his nose for a few seconds before opening his mouth to speak. "I wanted to answer your questions. You have three classes with the girl in the visions. The one with me, the one with Emmett and the one with Jasper." He sighed for a second. "Her smell was in the forest the other day because I had been there with her, I forgot about how good you were with smells and I am sorry for that, Carlisle already got mad at me for doing that. As for the warmth, I think it might have something to do with the imprinting, you love Paul therefore you love everything that comes from him." He led her back to the group before going over and talking to Sam for a second. "I was just answering a few questions for her that she had asked when she was telling us the story." He took off out of sight leaving the clearing with just the wolves and Carm present in there now.

Sam walked over to Paul, "Paul keys and a name."

Paul's head hung for a few minutes not looking up at Carm because he knew what she was wondering. Paul slowly reached into his pocket and pulled out the keys to the truck. "Quil or Jacob"

Sam smiled and tossed the keys over to Embry. "Take Carm over to Paul's place and take Quil and Jacob with you. You get any arguing from her we will deal with it over there."

Quil walked over to Carm with Jacob not too far behind him, the warmth of Quil's skin made her jump. "Let's go back to the truck, Carm." She could tell that it was not a request but an order coming out of his mouth and if she did refuse to go she just wondered what Sam would do since he was standing right there.

Carm's eyes met Sam's for a few seconds "No. Paul stays with me that was part of the deal." Within a second she was over to his side and nestled very tightly to him.

Sam shook his head. "Carm no part of the deal was we finish that discussion we were having yesterday. And for that Paul was not allowed to be with you. You start this arguing right now with me and it will have no good outcomes. Now go with Embry."

Carm looked at Embry and Quil and could see the same look she has gotten from both of them yesterday. She knew that if she downright refused to go again she would find herself in the dog house even more than she already was. So she got up on her tippy toes and kissed Paul once before heading over to see Quil and Embry as they were at the edge of the clearing.

As she was passing Sam he leaned down to whisper to her. "That was a very wise move on your part. Paul will be able to join us at the start provided this behaviour I see right now ends up continuing."

Carm shook her head and let out a huff as she went to follow Quil, Embry and Jacob out of the clearing. When they got to the truck Quil helped Carm into the back seat then settled himself beside her with a smile.

Jacob was smiling too. "Why are you so glum, Carm? You are going to get to see Paul in a little while. I am sure that Sam just wants to talk to him for a few seconds and then they will be heading for the house as well so don't worry."

Carm shot him a glare and a growl at the same time. "I am glum because I seemingly forgot that Sam had said that the conversation we were going to have would be between the two of us and that he would not be able to be there." She sighed and looked up at Quil, and batted her eye lashes at him. "Why is Paul in the dog house so bad with Sam anyway?"

Quil's eyes were not going to pause for a second when they saw what she had done. "Carm, you were told about that eye trick yesterday and if I have to tell you about it once more before we get to Paul's house then Sam will know about that. What happened between Paul and Sam is between Paul and Sam, none of your business and none of mine. It will do you well to not bring it up with Sam. His patience with you today is already thin."

Carm sank into the seat and started to pout. "It is not fair it is probably my fault that he is getting into trouble and I feel bad enough about doing that. I don't want him to take the blame for something that I did." She turned to Jacob and let her eyes smoulder a very dark red. "Please I have to know what is going on. I have to know what he did."

Jacob sighed he did not want to be the one to get mad at her for doing something but it was necessary. "Embry we are making a stop at Seth's place. I need to talk to Leah about something." He turned his attention back to Carm. "Quil warned you about that, now you are going to have to deal with the consequences of that action."

Embry nodded. "Guess we are dealing with Leah being grumpy today after all. Thanks a lot Carm. I was hoping for a day without her around to bother me, and without her being in my head." Embry shook his head and made no attempt to hide his disappointment he was feeling about what was going on inside his head.

Carm shook her head and covered her ears. She could not reach Embry to force him to change that mood he was in and Quil was not going to let her get out of the truck. "Embry stop that please." She took in a deep breath and opened her mouth to yell at them only to have Quil cover it in a few seconds.

Quil smiled at her. "I would not do that if I were you. Let it go that you are in trouble already if you want to be in more you can continue or remember what Sam said before you left the clearing you behave and you can have Paul stay with you. Everything is in your hands right now just like it was in your hands yesterday."

Carm let out another huff and then settled herself back into the seat trying to ignore the anger and frustration that Embry was feeling and concentrate on keeping her body at its normal temperature.

When they got to Seth's house Jacob hopped out of the truck and went to the door and was invited in so that Carm could not hear what was going on inside the house.

Carm looked over at Quil and let curiosity fill her facial expression hoping that would work. "Why does Jacob want to talk to her since you guys don't want her around?"

A/N: Okay double update in one day. But I need your opinion on a something: In the upcoming chapters do you guys want to see some more love stuff between Carm and Paul? There is obviously going to be a bit I just wanted to know if you guys wanted to see a lot of it. So let me know. If I don't hear anything I am just going to assume that what I have is good. I also wanted to thank everyone that has been reviewing the story so far, it is great to hear encouragement.
