Cullen da original for reviewing. this tells me alot, but hey thats just me. keep reading. ^_^

Serenity's POV:


things are changing fast whether I realize it or not, and maybe for the best. But I some how get the feeling that maybe Julian doesn't belong in my world. I start noticing this as he walks me home, and as hard as I try I just cant shake the thoughts away. I feel really bad that I cant concentrate on what he's saying the way I would like to, but for some reason I cant help but wonder who I really am any more.

"serenity, are you feeling okay?" Julian asked me after I didn't answer him. "yeah, just a little tired I guess." I said, my features turning apologetic. He understood, it had been a long night, a night that I didn't want to end. We were near the house already, I could make out the shape of my dad standing in the window and mom standing next to him while uncle Emmett watch from a safe distance. Mom and dad didn't say much to each other from what I saw, but then again if I were them, I wouldn't when uncle Emmett was in the room either.

But we were still some how far enough away that Julian couldn't notice them, which was great. "Hopefully you had a great time though?" Julian murmured. I nodded. "how could I not?" I replied. He laughed. "what?" I asked instead. "oh nothing." he replied with a mischievous grin. I stared at him with raised eyebrows. "okay then," I said, finally looking away. Then I felt his warm fingers hold on to my chin. When I turned back around I knew he was closer to me, his blue eyes looking down into mine, and the distance between our lips were so close that if I got up on my tippy toes, they would've met. My heart picked up a notch as I waited for him to kiss me. "you have no idea what you mean to me. And no idea how much I think us meeting was a miracle." he whispered. I wondered about that day my self, of how a boy who could make some birthday cake for their aunt end up with a girl like me.

The next thing I found my self doing, was trying to kiss him, my body putting all of its weight onto my toes. He bent a little closer until our lips had finally met. He was warm, sweet, and mine. We both couldn't hide it, not even pretending that we didn't like each other, seemed impossible. And there we were, in the woods together in an embrace, my hand hanging around his neck, and his fingers holding the small of my back. When we broke apart, we were both breathless, my heart finding no end to keep a good grip on its beats. I couldn't get his scent off my taste buds, nor could I want him any more than I did. But we both went on, following the trail again back to the house. Dad was at the door sooner than I expected. Julian and I both knew that the night had come to an end. We said good night before I walked inside, father trailing behind.

Emmett was flopped on the couch, a huge grin spread across his face. Dad knew what he was about to say and said quietly, "not a word. Not unless you value your flat-screen and PS3." uncle Em's mouth fell open. "Edward, you cant be serious. Its my baby right there." he replied fearfully watching his screen and station with close supervision. "and our child is here." dad said motioning to me. Uh-oh, this is not good. Dad cant be that mad, can he?

Dad looked back at my uncle, giving me my chance to hide behind mom. "maybe I should go get Esme." mom muttered. Dad shook his head. "its not necessary love. I promise." dad replies as he walks over to join mom. Uncle Emmett looks at the ceiling and mouthed "thank god!". My father's attention then swaps back to me, and my hearing begins.

mom starts off first asking "how was your night, Seren?" I begin getting a random itch, and my fingers start fidgeting with my hair. "it was okay." I tried saying casually, when I knew it was a bit of a lie. But I didn't think too much of it. dad looks at mom, and I notice a slight crease between his eye brows. "maybe we should of kept you girls in private studies." dad says quietly to himself. Mom gave him a slight smack in the shoulder. "Edward, you knew the day would come when she wouldn't be a little girl any more," she said chidingly. "yes, Bella, that may be true. But I didn't think it would have been this soon." my father replied, a small frown forming at the corners.

As soon as dad finished speaking, heavy foot step that only belonged to one person, came thundering down the stairs. Jacob scurried to the kitchen, and ripped some thing open, popping it into the microwave. Smaller pops emerged from a bag, followed by the buzzer, and Jake passed us with out a second glance. Mom sighed, shaking her head. "Jake, I better not find that popcorn in any of your's or Renesmee's hair ." she warned. Uncle Jake replied with a "sure-sure". Mom smiled. "i mean it Jake."

the worst was over, and dad had let me go. I left for my room when both my parents started speaking to each other about how close "Fido" was to going to the dog pound. I on the other hand, couldn't help but worry if it were possible for my vampire dad to have a mental break-down at realizing how close his daughter was to becoming an adult. that and my brain told me to sort of distance my self from Julian, but my heart said some thing different. Once I got to my room, I force myself to sleep, my mood was restless.

Demetri's POV:

after a few days of packing, I was sent out again. the plane reached small-ish town of port angels on Sunday night. A perfect little town to host a small coven of vampires next door wasn't too far away. Well, better get to work then, I thought as I headed straight to the local out-fitters and strip malls. A small idea already working its way to being a bullet-proof plan, one that couldn't fail if I play this thing right. Okay, 10 pairs of designer jeans, 20 designer tees, um 2 parkas, any thing else I might be missing that all came to a total $750 and 36 cents. Glad for not eating what most would call food, I decided to start looking for some lodging.

My cell phone in my pocket went off, the jingle of "The Middle" hummed until I picked up. "hello?" I said quietly into the receiver. "Demetri? Thank god you finally picked up! What were you thinking heading down there?" I held the phone away from my ear before Jane could have the chance to put it out of commission for good. "calm down Jane, and try not to yell, okay?" I asked politely. She huffed and puffed, but after a few seconds came her reply. "okay." patiently I waited for her to explain. "Demetri, I... I want to know why you're down there. It just doesn't make sense and its a waste of time too. why not come back down here and we'll spend some quality time, just you and me? Please?" I knew what she was asking, but I couldn't do that. "Jane, I cant. Its not that simple." I told her quietly.

"why not?" she said childishly. I shook my head, wondering how she could act like this with me over the phone, and not in person. It wasn't fair. And why did I have to play by her rules? "Jane, Aro asked me to come out here, now will you quit trying to find out my business?" I said a little irritated now. I hung up before she could respond. I'm so dead when I get home, a dead man walking.

Some how I managed to contact the school, sent out an address, a declaration of an emancipated minor, and some sort of proof of fake identification. now all that was left was getting to an abandoned house in forks, which was no problem being that with my pay in my job I got way more than others could afford. My phone rang again, this time I checked the caller ID, picking up when I saw Alec's name. "You guys must really miss me to be calling so late." I greeted. "hope you have plenty of room Demetri, 'cause I coming down there." I could hear the smile that colored his voice as he replied. "what? Why? You guys don't trust me?" I asked a little hurt. "nah, its not that. Aro just thought it would be easier if you had back up." I raised my eye-brows. "please tell me you're not bringing your sister with you." I said worried now. "we'll see, cant promise anything though."he replied. Then the line went dead, dial tone following right behind.

I felt a bit uneasy to hear that, so I got ready for a hunt, hoping that the crime rate in Seattle was high enough that the prison guards wouldn't notice much tonight. I mean hey, since they spend a lot for death penalty might as well give them free services, right? Some way to help police forces, no matter how useless they can be some times during a paranormal activities as they'd refer to it as. guess you cant really blame them at times though, there have even been some cases that not even us vampires understand.

Silently I placed a call for a taxi and made my way for Seattle. Tomorrow I would see her, I thought happily, hoping that she was the same way as that night as she is at school. It wade me wonder, what were her dreams, her ambitions, the things that she might have wanted to change? It must be hard to be her, being the some what out cast in the family. The rumors that she doesn't know about that others have heard, "a wolf imprinting on her sister", "her preferable dieting", "their way of life", it some times drove me mad just to know that some of us go to the extremes as spreading awful things. No one really knows she exists, all they care about is her sister, so it makes me wonder how is it going to affect her when she does join the guard. How many shock faces and unpredictable moods that'll radiate towards her...

the cab pulled to a stop in front of a local bakery. "okay son, that comes to a total of $250.00. is this the place your looking for?" the driver asked. I nodded. "it's close enough, thank you." I replied to the old man. "to many years in the business, got to get out of it before Edna says some thing," the driver muttered to him self as he pulled away. Probably must enjoy his wife and grand children, I thought wistfully. Must be nice.

A few days, thats how long everything took. Papers, documents, any thing that had to go in for the school, faked records, it was all covered. Alec got here with out Jane yesterday morning, the house was on the outskirts of town near the school and woods. "nice location bro." Alec had said when he pulled up in a red Mustang Convertible. Thank god he thought of bringing his car, least now I wont have to pull up in a taxi the first day. Then I noticed it. I raised my eye brow. "Bro? Since when?" I asked jokingly.

Alec laughed with me, "well, we are supposed to be high school students, now aren't we? I mean I now it has been awhile since we were last in school, but isn't it what they're calling each other now?" he clarified. I sighed shaking my head. It might have been twenty years since I was last in that kind of situation. Memories of girls laughing surrounded me, the jocks pretending that they didn't do anything, and the two nobodies that they would blame for their antics. Some one else's life now, some one who died all those years ago. "Demetri? You okay?" Alec asked when I didn't answer. "yeah, I'm fine." I replied absently. All the humor drained and replaced by the deluded memories of the past.

Serenity's POV:

bell rang the next morning and I spotted Gina on her way to class. "hey wait up for me!" I called out as I jogged down to her, my hair flying behind me. "Hiya Serenity, what's up?" she asked smiling. "whoa! Sorry," I replied as I skidded to a stop and shook my head. She laughed. "it's alright, come on, before we're late. You know, I think Mrs. Alen is looking for some one to give a detention." she said once I caught my breath. "you're right, I think she might be around the corner too." I said, a very faint glimmer of fear sparkled behind hazel eyes as Gina peered around the corner to be sure. "don't say that, she just might actually come knowing her." she said. I couldn't help my self some times though.

We continued on our way to class and then Gina asked me some thing. "so, did you hear about those two new transfer students yet?" she said casually. I shook my head as the news caught my attention. "no. where they from?" I replied. "some one heard Greece, and another said Rome, but either way they're some where from Europe." she answered as a dreamy look came into her eyes. "boy, they're just gorgeous. It looks like Julian might want to watch out Serenity." she said as a smile came to her lips. I laughed and brought her out of her train of thought. "maybe, maybe not. Anyway, they might be the distraction I need to keep Miranda away from him." I said, putting all the hope that I could muster on that thought.

We made it before the final bell could ring and get us detention. "yes! Made it!" Gina and I both cried. Class started laughing as Mr. Ryan raised an eye brow, and Ms. Anderson cleared her throat and apologized to him, embarrassment clearly coloring her face. "Girls, what do you think you're doing? Never mind that. Just go to your seats while Mr. Ryan talks about our exciting year and new activities." she said in a dismissive tone. We took that as our Que to go, but not with out us looking at each other and secretly sharing giggles at the way she looked at him. It was pretty obvious that she liked him that our class would always find out the latest news from the councilors office.


AN:Dont worry, still more to come... enjoy!
