A/N: Hey Guys. Sorry it has taken me this long to get an update up here. I have been working and during that time my computer was having technical problems, where my hard drive got wiped. So please have patients for me.

Carm glared up at Jasper. "So that means only if I stay the entire day that I won't have to deal with Edward tonight and I can go over and see Paul instead?"

Jasper smiled at her. "Carm if something happens we will discuss that then but you need to attempt at least to get through the day with everything."

Carm nodded as she followed him over to the Jeep where Edward and Alice were standing talking to each other. Carm let out a low hiss as she glared at Edward. He turned his head towards her still deep in thought. 'Please Carm, you have to understand what I have been through with her. She needs to understand the bad points that can come of becoming a vampire what a pain it is when you are not in the right state of mind when it is done. Please Carm, I would never ask you to do this if it was unnecessary to get her to see the truth in this life but I need her to understand what is happening right now.'

Jasper's grip on Carm's arm tightens as he spun her around to look at him. "What is that about Carm? He was doing nothing to you."

Carm let out a huff and attempted to get free from his hold. Jared and Embry were dangerously close to Carm and she could feel it. As she turned around she let her eyes burn towards Jared, "Heat, I need Quil right now if we can?"

Jared shook his head. "Carm that is not going to happen, Quil is at school the same as Paul right now but I can give you what I can produce and so can Embry. But for the time being you are just going to have to put up with the two of us."

Carm nodded her head. "I guess that will have to do" she let out a sigh and went to snuggle up closer to Embry to see what he could do to help her calm down. "Alright let's get this day over with I want to get out of this place, and then go see Paul tonight."

Jasper nodded. "That is the idea Carm keep thinking about what the desired outcome is going to be and you will get a chance to see him in no time." He let Carm go from his grip and walked over to Alice as he looked towards the ground. "Carm you just have to remember the rules that Carlisle has set for you to follow."

Carm nodded her head. "I know what they are Jasper it is the same rules that Sam insisted that I follow when I am outside with them and it is little annoying to hear them over and over again."

Emmett's big hands were around her wrists in an instant. "Carm, it does not matter what has happened in the past this type of behaviour will no doubt get you into trouble with Carlisle. Now you have got to get going with Edward before you are late for class."

Carm nodded her head. "I guess your right about that." She hurried to catch up with Edward before she put up her wall as strongly as she was able to. She leaned over to him as they were at the door of the classroom. "Edward please do me a favour, I know what you want right now but the constant thinking about it is driving me buggy so stop asking me about that for the duration of the class."

Edward nodded as he walked into the class and led the way to the back of the room. "Carm, so we are looking at Romeo and Juliet right now in this class. The teacher should be along in a few minutes to help you as well as get the books for you." He looked over towards Bella who was sitting at the front of the room this time with Angela. 'Bella, I wish I could tell you what was happening right now.' Out of the corner of his eye he was able to see Carm wince, it was working she was feeling everything. 'Your blood appeals to me more than it ever has or it ever will. I need to be near you but right now it is completely impossible for that to happen. However...' He let his mind wonder into details of what he had planned that night for the two of them to do with each other.

Carm lightly pounded her fists to the desk. As she let out a very quiet, low his at him. "I thought I asked you to control your thoughts for the time being. And please I still have too much of Jasper's left so try to control that need you are having right now."

Carm sank into her seat as she tried to concentrate on the monotone voice of the teacher and then take herself away from the Edward's mind in hopes he would stop that train of thought he was having. By the end of class Carm could barely stand to be in the same room as either of them anymore and she took off to go find Alice who was sitting outside their physics classroom.

"Carm, who brought you here?" She glanced around the hallways towards both ends of the hall. "You very well know that you are not to go walking around the school alone."

Carm nodded as she was dreading this class with Bella too and she hoped that Alice would have taken a hint from the previous actions that she needed some time to be without Bella or Edward. As she shrugged at Alice she looked around the room. "You know what Alice, I think I might go find Jared or Embry right now, before I decide to do anything too rash with what I am feeling."

Mr. Greene was coming down the hallway and Carm could see the change in Alice. "The principal is coming Carm do you really want to attempt to take off on me right now?" Alice kept her distance for a few seconds before letting Carm think about the answer although what she was hoping to have happen didn't. "Are you blocking me Carm?"

Carm shrugged again. "Alice, I really need to go find either Jared or Embry right now. I am getting thirsty and it is burning at the moment to the point that I really don't trust myself in there with all the people."

Alice nodded. "Well we do have some stuff for you in the Volvo if you think you need it. I'll just go get Jasper and we can take you outside to get some of it." She headed towards the hallway again as they passed several people who all said hi to Alice. When they got outside Alice pulled out her phone and proceeded to call Jasper. Meanwhile Carm took a look around and chanced herself being able to breathe again to feel normal while they were outside. The conversation between Alice and Jasper as short in which he promised to come straight outside saying that he had to use the washroom to get the blood for Carm to have.

As he came out the doors of the school Carm looked up at him. He calmly walked over to her greeting Alice with a kiss. "You need more blood already Carm?"

Carm nodded to him. "It is burning and Edward wasn't helping during the last class."

He opened the car door and let her get inside with Alice climbing into the back. "Carm what was happening in the last class that was so bad you had to run out of it?"

Carm sank into the seat. "You saw that?"

Jasper shook his head. "No, I didn't see it. Jared did and he came and told me. Carm those rules are there for everyone's protection here now you didn't answer my question, what was so bad that you ran out of that class."

Carm let out a huff and sank deeper into the seat. "I want to go see Paul." As she looked away she made sure the wall around her was good and strong before she looked back at him. "You don't understand Jasper, besides you never will understand."

Jasper's face was pure shock when her eyes finally met his. "Carm, what was that?" He turned his attention to Alice for a moment. "Go get Jared or Embry, I think she needs to get out of here."

Carm's eyes turned a deep orange as she met his eyes once again. "You don't understand anything Jasper do you?" She hissed towards the school for a brief second. "You never will understand what it is like to hear other's thoughts and to have your gift mixed in with it. I hate this, and I want to go home now."

Jasper met her eyes, "Carm what happened in the classroom that was so bad?" As his eyes softened he tried to calm her a bit but couldn't feel if it was helping or not. "You need to tell me that. I know it must have been either really bad or really painful for you to run out like that. But you can bet that Sam already knows about this little mishap, and if I call him with an explanation he might actually forgive you."

"I need Jared or Embry. I need to feel their heat. Actually I would prefer to have Paul or Quil here right now if I could." Carm tried to settle enough into a calm to let her body control the wall around her right now. "Alright, what happened is this. When we got into the class I asked Edward to control his thoughts, or rather begged him to control them for me. Well he did, only he pointed them to his desire for me to tell Bella about everything that happened to me and then after I asked him to stop that he went onto how much her blood and smell appealed to him at that moment." Carm took a breath and steadied herself again. "That is why I ran out I couldn't handle it anymore. So I figured and this is what Sam has told me in the past if I can't handle something to run, as soon as I seen Alice I stopped running and went over to her."

"Alright." Jasper sat still for a moment as he thought. "I think that if this happens again you need to have a different plan in place while you are here at school." He turned to her as he reached under the seat pulling out a black case; he opened it and pulled out a bag of blood for her. "Here this might help for a little while but I think you need to go hunting again. Us doing it in the morning does you no good, I think."

Carm nodded as she drank from the bag. "Thanks, I wanted to enjoy myself today but I don't think that is going to happen anytime soon at least." She sat there calmly until Jared and Embry got to the Volvo and climbed into the back seat.

Jared smiled at him. "What is going on that we had to be dragged out of class?"

Embry looked over at Carm, as he noticed the bag of blood in her hands and looked over at Jasper. "Is she alright?"

Jasper looked at Carm for a second then over to the wolves. "I don't know myself is she can handle the rest of the day. Edward got her really banged up this morning to the point that she couldn't concentrate at all." His eyes met Carm's for a brief second. "I wanted to ask you guys something. What is the rule when she is with Sam and she can't take any more of the stuff going on around her?"

Jared looked at him. "It is that she is supposed to run to the nearest exit and then contact one of us to help her." He looked over at Carm with a smile. "Is that what happened this morning?"

Jasper nodded. "Embry take Carm outside for a sec please I want to talk to Jared about something."

Embry nodded as he got out of the car and placed his warm hand on her back, letting her snuggle up against him. "Carm are you okay?" She shook in his arms as she snuggled up closer to him. He had seen this happen before that day when they were in the woods waiting for Jared to come back with the truck.

Carm slowly chanced another breathe in. The sweet smell of a human came into her nose as she let the power of the scent almost take her over. She cringed again just about collapsing on the ground as she let her eyes meet Embry's glowing a dark green. "I have to run." She whispered as she took off away from him stopping at the edge of the forest looking back at him. 'You need to come too I need to find the school on the reservation fast.' She cringed again starting to shake and her eyes went a jet black.

Embry ran over to her, "Carm what is happening you have to tell me what is going on?" When he got over to her he could feel her body shaking again, he noticed the black of her eyes and looked back at the Volvo, Jasper and Jared were deep in thought each and as he held her in his arms the noticed the shaking got worse.

Embry very gently put her down. "Carm I know you hate that idea but I am going to contact Sam he needs to know about this and frankly you can't' talk really so I need his help." He went into the woods and phased really quickly letting out a loud howl in the direction of the reservation. Within a second Jared was over to Carm and so was Jasper standing right over her. Jared ran into the woods himself and phased sitting right beside Embry.

'What is happening that you needed to phase?'

"Did you see the way she is shaking, I have only ever seen this once before when you were gone to get the truck and Sam said that she was reliving the past little while but she was sleeping on her own free will and right now I doubt that is what is happening.'

Sam's thoughts entered their conversation after a few seconds. 'What's happening this time guys?'

'Carm collapsed just on the edge of the forest here and now she is shaking really bad.'

'Embry how bad is really bad?'

'The same amount she was shaking that day. Only it is much faster and much rougher than that day. I could barely hang onto her.'

'Get whoever you need to for help but get her back to the Cullen's household. I'll get a hold of Carlisle, Paul and Quil then meet you over there.'

All three phased back into their human forms as Jared and Embry moved back towards Jasper after putting on their jeans.

"We need to get her back to the house. Sam doesn't know what is happening to her right now but he thinks that Carlisle might." Jared walked over to Carm placing a hand on her arm. It calmed the shaking a bit for a few seconds before making it worse than before. "Every time one of us touches her it gets worse. What is this?"

Jasper shrugged. "I don't know. She is repelling everything so I suspect that no one can hear her or help her right now. Let's get her back to the car though then I'll go in and get everyone to help us get her home."

Jared and Embry very carefully tried to pick her up, again the shaking calmed for a few second then got dramatically worse. "Carm I wish you could help us here, it would really help if we knew what was going on inside that head of yours."

The shaking stopped dead for a second before her body cringed in pain again. Her black eyes turned to his for a second as she attempted to release an idea of where to go to find out what was happening. The only word that exited her mouth was "Paul" she felt the strength leave her body again as the shaking started, only more painfully this time, forcing her to cringe again and again.

Jared and Embry fought to control her body as the shaking got worse, they were barely able to control it enough to get her to the car without dropping her. Embry looked over at Jasper for a brief second before turning back to Carm. "Go get everyone, Sam said he would contact Quil, Paul and Carlisle and meet us over at the house." Both of them climbed into the back seat with her in between them as he began to think out loud. "What happens if this is something that someone has done to her from Italy? Jared there could be no reversing it. What will happen to everything if this is a threat from them about Tierra?"

Jared's eyes met his for a brief second as the other Cullen's were coming towards the car. "Don't worry about that Embry just concentrate on trying to control your heat."

Jasper and Rosalie climbed into the front seat of the Volvo. "What is going on with her, Jasper?"

Jasper shrugged as he sped out of the parking lot. "I don't know Rose, but that does not really help because no one knows what is going on with her right now. We just have to get her back to Carlisle he will help we know he will."

When they reached the house a few minutes later Jasper felt the worry even worse coming off everyone as they tried to get Carm into the house. "Guys, listen calm down. I know she still has quite a bit of my gift left and your worry could be making this worse." He turned to Carlisle. "What is happening with her please tell me that you know what this is."

Carlisle placed a hand on her shoulder as he felt the shaking calm down and then speed up and worsen again he felt her body cringe in pain. He shook his head looking down. "Sadly I have never seen this before in a human or a vampire guys."

Paul rushed into the house and was over by her side in a few seconds placing his warm hand on her shoulder feeling her relax. Only this time the shaking didn't worsen. He picked her up and settled in a chair with her in his arms. When his eyes met hers they too turned to a jet black.

'Paul, listen I don't know how long I can keep this up. You need to call Italy get a hold of someone named Alec. Have Embry explain to you what happened at school. Explain to Alec who you are and what has happened. He will know what to do. If he is not around go for Jane but under no circumstances are you to discuss this with Marco.'

'Okay, are you alright though?'

'In pain at the moment but better now that you have me in your arms you seem to be repelling the affects of whatever this seems to be attacking me.'

'Wait something is attacking you.'

'There is no time to explain this, Paul. When you find out what is going on and you need something. Meet my eyes again and I'll do my best to bring you back in here with me but be warned it might take a few seconds for me to be able to do that.'

'Alright, take care and I promise I'll discover what is going on with you right now' Paul let out a sigh as he looked around the room. He wasted no time. "Embry what happened at school?"

"All day or just before this?" Embry looked at him with confusion, unable to know what happened.

"Just before this happened, and while this was happening."

Embry sat down beside him. "We were outside and she started to shake like she did that other day when we were in the woods. Then she told me very quietly as if she couldn't talk any louder that she had to run. When we were over by the edge of the woods she looked back at me and told me somehow that she had to get to the school on the reservation quickly. Then she collapsed on the ground. I phased and told Sam what had happened then Jared and Jasper came back over to her."

Paul nodded and looked over at him again.

"Then when we finally got around to carrying her to the car Jared said something about us not knowing what was going on inside her head and that she needed to help us a bit to understand what was happening. She said your name a few seconds later even quieter before the shaking got worse again."

Paul smiled a little as he looked over at Sam. "Can you pass the phone to Carlisle I need him to call over to Italy for me, she wasn't able to give me the number."

Carlisle looked at Paul for a second. "You realize that you could be making a deal with the worst person in the world to get her back to you safely right?"

Paul nodded. "I understand that. But she told me to do this. I know who I have to talk to on the phone."

Carlisle slowly dialled the number over to Italy and handed the phone to Paul. "I don't like the idea of this at all Sam."

Sam nodded. "Neither do I, Carlisle but we have to trust that Carm would never do anything to harm Paul or any of us right now even after the type of day she has had."

Paul put the phone to his ear. When a lady answered saying something in a different language his attention turned to all the noises in the background. "I need to talk to Alec."

"I am sorry he is in a session right now with Aro, can I ask who is calling and he will give you a call back when he is done."

"Give me a second and I will find out." He let his eyes meet Carm's again as it did take a few seconds for his eyes to turn black as well sending him into her painful mind. 'He is in a session right now with Aro is there a way that I can get him out of there to help us with this?'

'Tell the person on the phone, Tierra is in grave danger you need to talk to him before Volterra falls.'

When Paul opened his eyes he looked around placing the phone back up to his ear. "Tierra is in grave danger, I need to talk to him before Volterra falls."

"Is that a code or something?"

"Who is this?"

"Jane, who am I talking to?"

"Paul. I need to talk to Alec it is something about Carm."

"That is how you know that secret pass code. Give me a second I'll have him out here to talk to you right away."

Jane put the phone down on the desk for a few seconds as she ran into the chamber. She walked up to Alec. "There is someone on the phone for you, he knows the pass code that we used with Carm."

He looked at Aro. "I need to go handle something," he looked at Jane for a few seconds. "Take over for me please." He took off out the door of the chamber making it to the phone in under a second. He put the phone to his ear. "Tell me what I must do to save the city."

"What is happening to Carm?"

"First tell me who I am talking to."

"Paul, the one that imprinted on Carm, the one that was there to hear you request of her."

"Alright what has happened to her so far?"

Paul very quickly sped through the explanation on the phone to him before adding at the end. "I am really scared that something might be making this worse."

"Fortunately I think I know what is happening to her. The bad news is though I doubt I can do anything about it unless I involve a few members of the guard to help me."

"She only told me that you would know what to do about the situation and that you would tell me what I needed to do to help her out of this."

"Alright, object of imprint means that you might have some of the abilities that she is unable to use. Close your eyes for me and tell me what is the first name that pops into your head."

Paul sat calmly for a few seconds holding Carm closer to him. Before closing his eyes and thinking. "Carol"

"Alright now what is the first object you see in your mind?"

"A book, about the size of the one that she has with the spells in it with a test tube floating above it."

"Alright give me a second. I'll go get Jane it is going to take both of us to handle this. We will give you a call back in about half an hour with hopes that she is starting to come back. We are going to go take care of this problem right now, I promise." He left the phone for a few seconds venturing into the chamber back to Aro. "I need Jane to come with me Aro. It is a matter of upmost important to deal with regards to a certain two people."

Aro looked at him. "Who are the two people?"

Alec looked around the room. "Carm and Tierra."

Aro's eyes went over to Jane. "Leave go deal with this, but get a hold of Carm when this is over and tell her that I have agreed to her terms something needs to be done about this girl getting away with everything right now."

Alec nodded as he and Jane left the chamber. Alec made it back to the phone. "Tell Carm if you can that Aro has agreed to the deal when it comes to Tierra. I'll give you a call when she should be starting to come back."

"What will happen when she does start to come back to me?"

"The shaking will worsen again for about an hour before she starts back to where she was. Carlisle might be able to give her something but let her keep sleeping right now." Alec sighed on the phone. "I am sorry you have to see her like this, but on the other hand I am glad that you are there for her so that she can have you around, stay with her for the next while she is going to need someone there close enough that she can get messages to. The last time this happened one of us even had to bring her blood and tube feed it to her."

Paul pulled Carm closer to his body with one arm around her. "I will do that if I have to. But you'll give me a call when she should be on the road to recovery?"

"Yes I'll do that. But I had best be going to deal with this problem and then I'll let you know. Take care of that girl for us. And make sure that you remember to tell her about the fact that Aro agreed to deal that she had. We will contact her about that after she has recovered from this." He hung up the phone and looked at Jane with a smile. "Let's go deal with these guys in the city right now this is going to happen again and again if we let it go on and we know that Carm will never do anything for us if it does continue like this."

Jane nodded as she headed back for the chamber. "I'll go get Felix, Demetri and Marco they will come and help as well as any guards Aro can spare."

Alec nodded as he headed for his room to get changed into a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. This was going to get messy and he knew it. If Parent was up to his old tricks then he would have to answer for it in the end but if it was someone acting on their own accord then it would be easier to deal with. He somewhat did hope that they were acting on their own he didn't want a fight to break out in the city for tonight he had other things he wanted to get done.

When he returned to the front entrance he could see quite a few of the guard gathered there waiting for him to return. He looked at his sister who was standing there with a smile on her face. "Jane what is all of this?"

"I thought we might need some help after all we did need to storm the city the other day for the last thing that Parent did to Carm I figured that maybe we could do it again." Jane smiled at him again and ordered everyone to start moving towards the city. Reneta fell behind keeping her distance from Jane, Alec and Marco but making sure that she could still protect them if they needed it.

As they walked into the city Alec looked over at Jane she had barely said anything since she decided to venture off towards the town. "What is it with you today, Jane?"

Jane shrugged. "I am not sure. I guess I just want to deal with this because it is Carm that is getting hurt by this in the long run."

A little more than an hour later Alec called the Cullen's house explaining that he was exhausted and going for a shower but Carm should be back to normal so to speak in a few hours and reminded Paul that it was going to get worse for a little while before it got any better.

Paul had gotten quite used to the shaking by this time and his arms had tightened around her body so that they would be better able to be there for her. Quil offered to switch with him several times but each time he did refuse the offer saying that he wanted to be there when she woke up.

Jasper walked over to him at around midnight. "Paul, look even if you don't want anyone else to hold onto Carm, why don't you go get some sleep? One of us can help you get her upstairs to her bedroom and the two of you can sleep up there for the night."

Paul let out a sigh. "I guess that might be alright just as long as she doesn't have to leave my sight."

Jasper smiled. "You can carry her up to the bedroom if you want and then someone is going to have to change her into her pyjamas when she gets up there so I'll assume you can do that too."

When they got up to the room Paul looked around he really had never gotten around to actually looking at all the stuff she had left in her room since he had been there so many times and just never paid much attention to her walls, or anything else in her room for that matter, so he could right now. He calmly set her on the bed and looked around the room as he took is time finding her pyjamas.
