It's been three months since Devon got back home to the Cullen's in Forks, Washington. Since he got to see and spend time with his brothers again he has been feeling better then he ever has before. Devon knew it was because he got the closure he needed and had his brothers in his life again. He has kept in contact with them and Elena also. He knows things haven't been so good with them both since he left but he also knows Damon and Stefan have to figure this out on there own and he can't always get in the middle of them. They have discussed them coming out to Forks to visit and meet the Cullen's which Devon really wanted but with how Damon is he wouldn't want them to meet him just yet.

The one thing he hasn't told anyone was that since his brothers gave him human blood he has been craving it so much more then he ever has before. Devon has been fighting against having human blood but since he has a big problem when it comes to human blood it's harder for him to control the urges and get under control again. It was even harder to hide it all from his family but Devon couldn't ignore the bad feeling in his throat and the urges anymore.

As they were leaving school Devon lets his siblings know he wanted some time to himself and they were okay with it since they knew this is what he does at times to have alone time. Devon runs off into the forest far away from his siblings. He knew where to go and he knew he didn't need to go as far as to kill a human even though that's what part of his mind is telling him to do.

Blood bags from the hospital is the best option, Devon thinks to himself and decides on doing that for right now. He heads towards a different hospital then his dad works at since he wasn't going to risk being caught and having Carlisle stop him when he didn't want to be stopped this time. It takes a few minutes with his vampire speed to get to the hospital that was far away from where his dad works. He smells the blood already and follows where it is. It takes him only a little bit to find where it was.

When he opens the fridge it was in and sees how much blood there was he couldn't hold back anymore. He takes his bag off of his back and shoulders and he hurries grabs as many blood bags he can and puts it all inside of his bag. After he was done he puts his back bag on and uses his vampire speed to get out of there as fast as he can. When he gets as far as possible in the forest he takes his bag off and unzips it and rips off the top to the blood bag and drowns it down and he does the same with the other 5 blood bags.

When he was done he lends against a tree and slides down the tree with his hands over his face. His mouth had a lot of blood around it and down his shirt. He looks at the empty blood bags on the ground and he was in shock at what he just did.

"W-What did I just do?'

Devon nervously says to himself. He knew it would be hard to hide this from his parents, from anyone right now but he didn't want to get caught. Drinking that blood, human blood, made him feel so much better and happy in a way. He knew it was wrong and something he can get in trouble for but he can't control it, he can't control the urges like he has before.

Devon gets up from the ground and he looks at his phone and sees it was already 7pm and he has to get home before everyone worries about him. He cleans himself up and takes his shirt off and throws it as far as he can in the forest and buries the blood bags. Devon was happy he had another shirt on under the first one he was wearing. When he is done cleaning up he grabs his bag and runs home. Before going inside he goes to his car and opens his truck and puts his bag in there and hides it as good as he can since he had more blood bags in there. He takes a look at himself in his side view mirror and he had no sign of blood on him or his clothes.

Devon walks inside the house and sees his brothers on the couch and hears his sisters in the kitchen with Esme.

"We thought you got lost coming home bro."

Emmett says jokingly to him. Devon forces himself to chuckle a little at that comment.

"Yeah I just walked at human pace home."

Devon makes up pretty fast in his mind. He isn't sure if they bought it but he was trying to not be paranoid by it.

"Dad is in his study. He wants to see you."

Edward tells him and he can feel himself getting even more nervous. He nods his head at Edward and goes upstairs to his father's study. Before he knocks on the door Carlisle tells him to come in.

"You wanted to see me dad?"

Carlisle looks up from the paper work he was filling out and puts his pen down and gets out of his seat and goes in front of his desk.

"Yes Devon I did. Sit down for me."

Devon sits down and bites his lip nervously. He looks up at Carlisle and couldn't tell if he knew what he did or if he was in trouble. He can usually read Carlisle pretty well but he wasn't showing much emotion right now. He tries to not be nervous but he wasn't sure why he was in here right now.

"Where were you Devon?"

"I just needed time to myself. I walked home but at human pace."

Devon was studying Carlisle's face to see if there was any emotion at all to hint at him if he knew anything or if he was any kind of trouble but Carlisle was good at hiding what he was feeling when it comes to one of his kids. Carlisle runs a hand through his hair and sighs. Carlisle had a feeling that something was going on with his son but he knew Devon wouldn't talk about it until it broke him. When the other kids came home and Devon wasn't with them Carlisle and Esme became even more worried but they left him alone until he decided to come back. If it became too late they were going to go look for him.

Carlisle can see Devon wasn't his normal self. He was nervous to be in his office right now and Carlisle knows all of his kids become nervous when they come in here thinking they were in trouble but that wasn't always the case. Carlisle sits next to Devon and places his hand on his knee which makes Devon look up at his father.

"Devon, son, what is going on with you?"

Devon bites his lip nervously, not sure what answer to give to that. One side of his mind wanted him to tell the truth but the other side was stronger and telling him not to tell him the truth. Devon takes a deep breath and shakes his head at his dad.

"Nothing dad. There is nothing wrong."

"Devon you can not lie to me. Your mother and I have noticed something is wrong. You know you can talk to me about anything. To any one of us about anything at all."

Devon was feeling more guilty keeping the truth from him, from everyone in his family but he couldn't bring himself to tell him and face his disappointment and anger.

"I know dad but nothing is going on, nothing is wrong. I'm doing okay. I have homework to do, can I go and do it?"

Carlisle knew if he wasn't telling the truth he wasn't going to tell him anything right now so Carlisle felt is was best to give it a rest tonight and talk to Esme about what else to do to help there son.

"Yes you can go Dev."

"Thanks."

Devon leaves the office and takes a deep breath he didn't know he was holding. Carlisle and Esme knew something was wrong and it was a matter of time until they find out, Devon says to himself. He goes to his room and sits on his bed, holding his head in his hands. Devon felt bad about hiding everything from everyone but he couldn't bear the anger or disappointment his family was bound to feel if they knew. Devon knew this had to be kept a secret and he had to do a better job at it then he did today.
