A/N: I know, it's been forever. I know, the chapter is extremely short and quite possibly disappointing. However, I'm back. I can't promise you there will be a new chapter next week or next month, but there is one now, so I hope everyone who is still willing to read enjoys it. I'm so sorry I've niglected this story; I've missed Forks and everyone on Fanfiction so much! My life has just been absolutely crazy and much, much different than last year. It's extremely difficult for me to be able to find the inspiration and time to write Forks, but when I do have that inspiration and time, it's nearly impossible to separate my fingers from the keyboard. I hope people will read and review the chapter, I will be extremely grateful if so. =]

Love, Mellllll =]

30. New Day

"No, don't stop," I told Ronan breathlessly as he kissed my burning neck tenderly. "Please. We can deal with this later."

He stopped kissing me and put his hand gently on my cheek, smiling sadly. "We have to deal with this now, Avs. Unfortunately, we must deal with this monstrosity now."

I sighed, letting my eyes marvel the brand new world surrounding me. I could see the veins in the leaves of the majestic trees that towered over us; I could see the remaining drops of precipitation sprinkle lazily off of the leaves. I could smell the thick, fresh scent of transpiration, the musk of various animals as they zipped inconspicuously through the natural canopy. I could hear the life of the forest; the exchanging of gasses of the trees, the animals, of Ronan and I was prominent in the slightly chilled and moist air. How could I have ever hated Forks? How was it possible I ever resented rain? It was beautiful. All of it was utterly gorgeous.

I lay on my back and stared at the slight break in the clouds. I'd never seen so many stars in my life…

"Wow," I breathed.

I felt Ronan lay on his side next to me, his finger tracing my bare collar bone. "Magnificent, isn't it?"

I closed my eyes and let him trace my collar bone and down my arm. I willed loudly in my head for him to never stop, for us to be able to lie in this exact spot for the rest of the night. Just to stay here together and not worry about…

I sat up straight as my throat began to sear, and a growl rumbled in my throat. Ronan's hands gripped my biceps immediately. "Ava?" He asked wearily.

The searing continued, and suddenly the too vivid image of the lone hunter moved in slow motion through my mind. I let out a sob.

"Ava…" Ronan loosened his grip and put his protective arms around me as the image assaulted me. Shivers were sent down my spine.

"What was his name?" I asked.

"What?"

"His name," I repeated, closing my eyes.

Ronan was silent, but I could feel his soft breath blowing past my cheek.

"Ronan," I pleaded.

He let out a soft sigh. "He didn't have any identification with him, Ava. We don't know what his name was, nor will we ever."

I kept my eyes closed, focusing on his steady breathing for a few moments. Images of my family began to fill my head, the vagueness of their faces terrifying me. I snuggled closer to Ronan until I was secured in his lap and his chin was rested on my shoulder. I took a deep breath of unneeded air.

"I can't disappear, Ronan. They need an explanation."

I felt Ronan nod on my shoulder without hesitation. "I just haven't a clue how that's going to work."

I began to shake my head when the idea suddenly hit me. My breath caught.

Ronan felt me tense. "What is it, Ava?"

I was appalled by the idea. My mouth hung open.

"I'll tell them I'm dead."

Ronan pushed me forward and turned me to face him sharply. I swallowed, purely as a reflex. His eyes were wide, his nose slightly scrunched in disgust.

I nodded at him. "It's the only way, Ronan. If my power is as strong as you say it is…"

"You'll kill them," he told me bluntly. I grimaced, my hands balling into fists of anger.

I broke away from his grip and stood up, the anger flaring inside of me like mad. "What the hell do you know?"

His eyes were suddenly full of innocence. He held his palm out towards me and slowly stood. "Ava, I'm sorry, but I can't let you do something you'll regret."

"I CAN'T LEAVE THEM WONDERING! THE GUILT WILL JUST CONSUME ME, RONAN!" I wanted to bolt to the house right now. I just wanted to see my mother, my sisters.

Ronan grabbed my wrists and an ugly growl ripped from my throat.

"Calm down, Avs. Just breathe. Even though it isn't necessary, it helps." He smirked, still restraining me.

I breathed for a minute, and finally leaned into Ronan. "I'm so sorry. It's so hard to control my emotions… with all these senses and smells…" My throat burned.

Ronan stroked my hair and rubbed my back. "Well let's get you stocked up on blood before you see your family. You're right. They need an explanation, and it seems as though you're the only one who can convince them of a reasonable one."

The thought of hurting animals upset me for some reason, and suddenly another vague memory popped into my mind.

Ronan took my hand, ready to lead me deeper into the forest. "I know a good spot for mountain lion…"

The burning in my throat was gaining intensity. "Okay." And we were flying through the forest at my new warp speed.

"We have a plan," was the first thing Carlisle said when we found them in the clearing.

"Hello to you, too," I greeted him sarcastically, feeling overly exhilarated after hunting.

Carlisle ignored my tone, looking past me with weary eyes. "We're going to have to act fast if this is ever going to work, but we need to catch the next shuttle to DC and get to the Pentagon."

I giggled and received confused looks from the creatures around me.

I shrugged. "What? I feel like I'm apart of the secret service."

Carlisle's smile didn't reach his weary eyes when he turned to me. "You're going to be playing a secret agent for us, Avs."

I nodded, putting on my seductive face. "'The name's Bond,'" I quoted in a deep voice, "'James Bond.'"

"She's being way too calm about this." I heard Jasper attempt to whisper to Alice.

I snickered. "Nice try, Jazzy," I pointed to my ear, "Supernatural hearing recently installed, remember?"

"He's right," Ronan told me, turning me towards him.

I kept on smiling. "I don't think I'll be able to live with myself after I have to tell my mother and sisters I'm dead, so I thought, hey, might as well be happy while I can."

"You're doing what?" Edward asked angrily, looking at Ronan.

"We can't just leave them wondering." Ronan countered.

"Ronan, she'll kill them."

My head snapped toward Edward, all happiness evading me. I growled at him menacingly.

Ronan grabbed my shoulder, still looking at Edward. "Careful, Edward."

"Jazz, honey, you okay?" I heard Alice ask her husband.

"Yeah… major whiplash." He replied, holding his head.

Edward's face was hard. "Do you really think it's a good idea?"

Ronan nodded, looking at me. "She's stocked up on blood," he rubbed my shoulder. "Does you're throat ache at all, babe?"

I smiled, feeling instantly blissful again. "Babe?"

He smirked. "You like that?"

I nodded, looking into his eyes and lusting for him all over. "My throats fine."

"Uggh," I looked over to see Jasper sitting with his head between his knees.

I looked over at him and sighed, remembering his empathy power.

Carlisle closed his eyes and let out a long, frustrated breath. I'd never seen the man lose his cool before.

He opened his eyes and looked swiftly at his first son.

Edward shrugged. "She's really enjoying being immortal and fed. How can you blame her?"

"She's like a child again." Esme smiled, her warm eyes watching me happily.

"We need to focus on the matter at hand, Esme." Rosalie gave me a look that resembled an overbearing elementary school teacher's nearly permanent glare.

"Rose is right," Carlisle nodded, "We only have so much time before the Volturi arrive."

My heart dropped. The dull memories of the fear and dread that engulfed me over the past weeks hit me suddenly, and I was close to tears.

"And when they do arrive, everyone dies." I reminded them numbly.

Mom, Allison, Alicia, Cindy, Katrina…

Vague memories of my mother and sisters began flashing through my vampire mind, each more heart wrenching than the first.

"We need to save them," I nearly whispered, my throat thick not with the tears I was used to, but bone shaking agony.

Ronan took my hand. "We will save them."

"As long as we act now," Carlisle finished for him, looking at me again.

I nodded, suddenly focused and determined. There was no time for grieving. There would be no need to grieve. Sadness evaded me.

"This… this is… this is madness," Jasper slurred, standing up shakily with the help of Alice.

"Carlisle…" Alice started, looking worriedly at Jasper.

Emmett spoke up now. "Ava's emotions were hard on him even when she was human, they must be even stronger now that she's a bi-polar newborn with a power that's freaking epic. Suck it up, man."

Jasper shot a death glare at his brother as Alice took him away from me. I looked apprehensively into Ronan's eyes.

"He'll become accustomed to your emotions soon enough, babe." He winked.

"Okay, now for the plan," Carlisle began before he could be interrupted again. "Ava, do you have your pod phone on you?"

My hands automatically went to my jean pockets, and sure enough, it was there. I opened it up and handed it to Carlisle.

His hands flew across the hologram keyboard and suddenly the red record light was flashing. "Now Ava, I want you to give me a command using your power. Look directly into the camera for me, please. Everyone else, don't make eye contact with her. Okay, go."

My eyes widened. What do I say? "Uhh… sing I Am the Walrus at the top of your lungs."

Edward chuckled. "All Carlisle listens to is music from his century."

"I AM THE EGG MAN!"

My head snapped up to see Carlisle staring intently at the pod phone screen.

"I AM THE EGG MAN! I AM THE WALRUS! GOO GOO GA JOOB!"

"What in the world?" Esme ran over and asked, an amused look on her face.

"EXPERT TEXTPERT, CHOKING SMOKERS DON'T YOU THINK THE JOKER LAUGHS AT YOU? HO HO HO, HE HE HE, HA HA HA!"

A few birds flew off their perches.

"SEE HOW THEY SMILE LIKE PIGS IN A STY-"

I ripped the pod phone out of his hand and his eyes went to mine. "Stop!" I commanded, and his mouth went slack, his eyes wide and vulnerable.

Suddenly he blinked and shook his head, and I turned to see Bella focusing on him.

Carlisle put his hand on my shoulder, his eyes full of hope, his mouth turned up in a smile. I shook my head, confused.

"What am I missing?"

Carlisle suddenly pulled me into a hug, laughing giddily. I hesitantly hugged him back; this was so out of character for him.

"I think we may actually stand a chance, Avs." He replied.
