Disclaimer: I do not have the privilege of owning this story that is Twilight. Nor it's sequels. Of course, I do own this plotline.

Muff'Nbutter! My emails still aren't getting through. That's fine. I think I am going to just start betaing for myself once again.

Alright before you flip the shit let me just tell you something. This is the only chapter this charecter is going to be in. I just used them as a transition.

Chapter 28: No Serenity in the Motive

November 6, 2102

Silky brunet tendrils wisped behind the woman as she walked out the door and into the rain. Humans were swarming around her, startled by the rain. They were all knocking into each other, yet they never came within two feet of her. Whether they realized it or not Serenity didn't know.

The rain drops fell steadily and in every one of them Serenity could see her butterscotch eyes reflecting. A new color entered the small droplet's spectrum. It was a swirl of green and bronze mixing with her topaz and brown.

Serenity looked up to see the source. A human had entered the two feet radius of no mans land that surrounded her. He was running and only just narrowly dodged out of her way. She glanced back at the retreating form before continuing her steady pace.

Serenity felt the small gears turn in her cell phone right before it started ringing. She answered it without checking the caller ID.

"Serenity Cullen speaking. May I ask who is calling?" Serenity heard laughing on the other end of the line. It was a light tinkering noise that she easily recognized. "Alice, you don't have to make fun of the way I answer the phone. That's just the way we did things back in my time. "Alice's laughter increased.

"You act like I didn't live through the same time period. The 20th century was much stricter than the late 21st century that you came from." Alice teased. Serenity sighed.

I don't like thinking about the past. I was such a savage. I'm just glad I met Carlisle. I don't even want to think about all the lives I took. . ." Serenity walked without thought, completely forgetting the rest of her classes.

"We were all animals at one point. The main thing is that you made the decision to try our lifestyle." Serenity nodded to herself silently. "I still don't think it is a good idea for you to be all alone at college. You know we'd all be happy to move up there with you just to keep you company"

They still didn't trust her around humans. Serenity expected as much, considering her last slip up had been less than two years ago.

"No thank you, Alice. I need to spread my wings, try things my way, and all of those other cliché sayings." Serenity's hair was soaked through as she opened her car and let it drive her back to her apartment.

"Fine, fine, I'm just trying to be a good sister and you know how Esme worries. I've got to go, Jasper is calling me. Bye Serenity."

"Bye Alice." Serenity said half a second before Alice hung up the phone.

Serenity's car pulled up to her apartment complex. She slipped into the building only being stopped once to be invited to some big party on campus. She shoved the invitation in her pocket and dropped off her books and cell phone in her apartment.

Serenity opened her window and jumped down the two story building. She didn't feel like dealing with the humans that inhabited the building and a hunt felt needed.

The long hunt refreshed her and by the time she got back it was dark outside. With a quick shower she looked as good as new and had a ton of time to kill. As she was hanging up her soggy clothes from earlier the invitation to a party fell out of the pocket. She un-crumpled it and decided to go on impulse.

Upon arrival the party was in full swing. Humans saturated with plenty of alcohol were dancing like animals while the sober ones were on the edge of the mayhem, talking about the drunken ones.

Serenity joined the sober group. Every male pair of eyes seemed to be on her. It was unnerving, yet typical. A few with guts even asked her to dance but she turned them down.

This is why she didn't like spending time with humans. They were too attracted to her appearance to see anything else.

Serenity looked around the room bored as she pretended to take a sip of her beer. They landed on the only male in the room who wasn't blatantly staring at her.

It was the boy with green eyes and bronze hair from earlier. He was talking to his friend who had a dazed look on his face as he looked at her. Serenity walked over to the pair.

"Are you gay?" She asked Edward bluntly and immediately regretted it. "Sorry, it's just you are the only guy not undressing me with their eyes at this party." Gabriel snapped out of his staring when she said this and Edward started laughing.

"I don't believe I'm gay, but who knows?" Edward joked. "I'm terribly sorry that I'm not 'undressing you with my eyes', but I can assure you that my friend Gabriel is doing that enough for the both of us." Edward walked away leaving her with Gabriel who tried hopelessly flirting with her to no avail.

Serenity frowned at Edward's retreating form. She had never been walked away from before. It flustered and infuriated her at the same time.

Edward was driving home all by his lonesome. Gabriel had called earlier saying he had a date and would call a taxi when he needed to get home.

Edward pulled into the driveway. There was a strange car in the driveway and some of the lights in the house were on.

He approached the house cautiously and opened the front door. Edward was startled to see the brunette from a few nights ago sitting in his living room.

"What are you doing here?" Edward asked, not feeling comfortable with her presence in his house.

"We never exchanged names when we first met. I'm Serenity and I'm told you are Edward?" Edward nodded. "I'm just waiting on your housemate to finish changing so can go on our own date." Serenity was hoping to see a flash of jealousy in Edward's eyes, but none came. She stared at him a few seconds before giving an arrogant sniff and thinking about how much of an ignorant man he was.

Gabriel walked into the room just as Serenity's cell phone started ringing. She went to the front porch to answer it.

"You know she's just using you, right?" Edward asked Gabriel as he lint brushed his black shirt.

"I know." Gabriel said nonchalantly. "It's still fun going to clubs with a pretty girl on your arm even if she could care less about me." Gabriel just barely finished his sentence before Serenity came back inside. "Who called?"

"My family," Serenity sighed as she picked up her purse. "They are worried about me so they are coming to visit me tomorrow."

This story is starting to grow to its closing. I find the next chapter's title humorous. Review and I'll let ya see it.
