Cain POV:

We we're about three towns out from our destination when we stopped to stretch our legs. We may be vampires and not need to move constantly but for God's sake is it uncomfortable.

We all went off on our own, in different corners to the main square. We were all hovering around a fountain basking in it's beauty as the moonlight sky hit it. Since it was so late at night - no one was around. I was grateful for that.

Eliza wrapped her arm around my waist and I pulled her into my side, caressing the bare skin of her shoulder blade. She purred and snuggled deeper into my chest and I couldn't help the chuckle that escaped my lips.

I glanced around and noticed the other couples in quite similar positions;

Emmett was sitting on the edge of the fountain, pushing stains of hair off of Rosalie's face every time it fell out from behind her ear. She would glance at him and smile before she would look back into the water and smile at the picture she would see; the two of them huddled up in each others arms.

Jasper and Bella had their eyes locked onto one another's and stared deep into their lovers, seemingly in bliss. He would occasionally caress her cheek and kiss her forehead and she would smile in response and move closer into his warmth. They both sighed happily.

Peter and Charlotte were dancing to music only they could hear, and her tinkling laughter fell on deaf ears as he dipped her. He twirled her around like a professional dancer would and held her close and secure to him as he drew her in. they continued to dance and laugh freely as if it was there last day on earth…

Which I supposed it could be.

I had a feeling deep in my gut that things were going to end up badly. I don't know how I know, but I know that someone wouldn't be alive at the end of this battle. That thought terrified me. I looked back at all the couples and I looked at their positions in a different light.

Instead of looking at the impeccable love they surely shared for each other I looked deeper into their faces and saw the worry etched into each of them. The worry for their mate, the worry for a loved one whether it be family or friend. I chuckled slightly. To these people; What was the difference between friend and family?

Absolutely nothing.

I looked down and stared intently at my beautiful Eliza. She looked calm and serene but I could feel she was tense as she had her arms wrapped around me, clinging to me as if her life depended on it. I spun around so we faced each other and wrapped her into a proper embrace. She hide her face into my chest and I could feel her body wreck with dry and silent sobs.

My heart broke for her.

I brought her closer if that was at possible and murmured reassuring words in her ears. I briefly wondered if it would help her have a sane mind if it did nothing for my own.

Again, I glanced around and saw everyone in similar positions. Everyone hugging the one they love for dear life. Charlotte was acting slightly violently, clearly not willing to accept the fact the one - if not more - of us could die. I cringed slightly at the knowledge that Eliza and I weren't one of them.

We were outcasts. Always have and always will.

I leaned down and whispered something into Eliza's ear. She looked up at me with pained, puffy, red eyes and smiled. I kissed her forehead and brought her back into our embrace - her clinging to me now more then ever. She opened her mouth and tried to speak but only strangled sounds escaped. I hushed her and placed a finger over her lips.

"I know." I whisper and pulled her back into an embrace.

The sun started to rise all too soon and we all knew that we had to break apart and leave to our destination - that could be our deaths.

We all left the town square and returned to the van and we were on the road again.

I leaned back and covered my eyes from the rays of sun that leaked from the windscreen and into the back. Closing my eyes - I remember the words I whispered into Eliza's ear that I truly meant and she couldn't verbally return.

I love you.
