Emmett's POV

It was 3 am and I was sitting outside of Sydney's window. She had finally fallen asleep after crying for at least an hour. I so badly wanted to just break her window lock and hold her. Billy, Jake, and Paul left about an hour later and luckily her dad didn't bother her. I wanted, no, needed to keep her safe, If I lost her I don't know what I would do. I've been searching for her for years and when I finally find her I lose her? No that is not going to happen. I looked down at my watch and saw the time was 5:30, she would be waking up for school in a little while. I jumped down from the tree and started running in the direction of my house. I stopped and feed on a bear and a couple of deer on the way. Not only is Sydney my mate but she is also my blood singer. But it's weird, none of use have any problem being around her. She doesn't smell of blood, not even to Jasper, it's strange but also a blessing. If I could smell her blood I don't know if I could resist.

When I finally arrived back home everyone was sitting in the living room. Esme in Carlisle' s arms, Rosalie sitting beside Benjamin, Alice in Jasper's lap, and Bella, Edward and Renesmee sitting on the love seat. I said 'Hello' to everyone then went upstairs into my room. I kept thinking about what I could do to help Sydney. Maybe I should tell her about us, II mean If I want her in my life then I will have to tell her at some point. I went back downstairs and called a family meeting. "Everyone I want to ask you all something very important" they all looked at me nodding there heads to continue. "I want to tell Sydney about us" they all looked at each other then back at me. "We think it's a great idea. We think it would be best if you told her. That way we can keep her safe." Esme said.

I smiled, I was so happy that my family was so supportive and really made me feel like I was doing the right thing. When I first meet Sid I didn't want her involved in our world at all. I wanted her to live a normal human life, have a family and a husband. Even though the thought killed me on the inside I wanted her to be safe. But when I found out about her dad I knew I couldn't let her continue to suffer alone like that. I ran back upstairs and started thinking of how I was going to tell her. I mean I didn't want to scare her. I'm thinking I'll invite her out to the park in town tomorrow night and tell her then.

Sydney's POV

I woke up to the sound of my alarm going off for school. I turned over to snooze it when a sharp pain shot through my body. The memories from the night before flooded into my mind. I lifted up my shirt to find Black bruises on my stomach an back. They looked god awful, I started to cry. I didn't understand what I did to deserve this. I wiped the tears that had fallen for them to only be replaced by new ones. I dried my tears and got up to get ready for school. I dressed in comfy clothes not really caring how I looked at this point. I was in to much pain, maybe I could go to the nurse at school and get some aspirin. I grabbed my bag, checked to make sure I had all my homework, then left my room. I never told anyone this but I wanted to go to school to become an OBGYN. I loved babies and the whole idea of being the doctor to deliver the baby. After my mom died I wanted to still become one, to make her proud. But with my dad treating me like he is that will never happen. My dad didn't even know that I was a grade ahead. I guess he stopped caring about me long before he started abusing me.

I walked downstairs to see my dad getting ready for work. The fact that he was a police officer and he treated me like this made him a disgrace to the force. When he saw me come down the stairs his head snapped to me in an instant. I froze scared of what he was going to do next. He walked over to me as I backed away from him. He grabbed me by the hair and threw me to the ground. "I may not be able to fuck you but you are still my puppet" he punched me in the face. I fell to the ground holding my face, I heard him doing something in the background. I felt him grab me by my hair again and pull me onto my knees. I looked straight in front of me and his pants and briefs were at his ankles. I tried to move away but he just pulled me closer to him. He grabbed on to my jaw and forced my mouth open. Plunging himself down my throat. I couldn't breathe, he kept thrusting into my mouth blocking my air flow. When he let go of my hair I pulled myself back from him, gasping for air. He grabbed me again and forced himself down my throat once more. Soon I tasted the thick, salty aftermath of his pleasure. I instantly spit it out onto the floor. He just pulled up his pants grabbed the rest of his work equipment and left slamming the door shut behind him.

I cleaned myself up then went into the kitchen to get something to eat. I walked over to the fridge to find that he had a padlock on the fridge that required a key to open. 'I guess I won't be eating then'. I grabbed my bag and made my way to school. On the way, I was thinking about what I was actually going to do when I turned 18. I had no one to got to, I had nowhere to live, I didn't even have a job. Maybe I should get a job and start saving some money. I entered the school parking lot and started to cross the lot. I felt a cool arm wrap around my waist and immediately looked up. I saw that perfectly familiar face smiling down at me. It was Emmett and as I looked around me the rest of the Cullens surrounded me. When we made our way onto school all of the other kids were looking at us in awe.

This was the first time me and Emmett had been really public about our relationship. All of the girls looked jealous and all the guys looked shocked. When I walked into class I took my seat and pulled out my books. I looked around and saw a group of girls walk up to me. Nobody else was in the classroom just us. They all stopped in front of my desk, the one in the front looked down at me with disgust. I was a little confused because I had never met these girls before.

McKenzie is in italics and Sydney is in bold!

"So you're the new girl huh?"

"Yes, and you are"

"McKenzie Johnson, the girl who runs this school. My daddy is the leader of the school boards administration"

"Ok cool, my name is Sydney"

"I know who you are and I don't really care. I'm here to warn you, you need to back off of Emmett Cullen. He's MINE."

I looked at her shocked. Emmett never said anything about having a girlfriend.

"I'm sorry Emmett never told me he had a girlfriend."

"Well, I'm not his girlfriend, YET. But I will be, so you need to back off."

"Ok well, If he isn't your boyfriend then I can hang around him all I want. And you or your little band of cockroaches can't do a thing about it."

She looked so shocked that I dare say that to her.

"HOW DARE YOU! If you don't stay AWAY from him I will make your life a living hell."

"Yea it's kind of too late for that. You're ruining my day with that tacky attitude.

She once again looked shocked but it got even better when the whole class laughed. I didn't even notice all of the students had pilled into the room and were watching us having this conversation. McKenzie's face had turned bright red and she ran back to her side of the classroom. Everyone was laughing and yelling "Sydney Rose just burnt McKenzie Johnson! HAHAHAHA" I chuckled a little bit along with the crowd.

The rest of the day was uneventful, at lunch, the Cullens congratulated me on standing up to McKenzie. Come to find out most people are scared of her because of who her father is and what he can do. "Nobody ever crosses McKenzie," Alice told me. I didn't really care I mean what could a 5'3, pale, white girl, as skinny as a stick do to scare me. I have to deal with my father every day, compared to him she is nothing. When I got home I made dinner then started on my homework. At about 5:30 I got a text from Emmett.

Emmett: Hey can you meet me at the park?

Sydney: Sure but why?

Emmett: Because we have to talk, it's serious.

Sydney: Umm ok, what time?

Emmett: 7:00

I already knew what was going to happen. Emmett was going to dump me and start dating McKenzie. I should have known this was too good to be true. I'm not going to lie and say that it didn't feel good to be wanted but all good things must come to an end, right? I sighed and continued my homework. At about 6:00 my dad got home, I knew I needed to shower before I left but I was scared to leave my room. I finally mustered up the courage to gather some clothes and head to the bathroom. I took the quickest, coldest shower of my life, then got out. I dried off and changed but when I opened the door my heart sunk. There he was standing there In the frame of the bathroom door. "What are you showering for, your wasting my water." He asked. I quickly came up with an excuse. "I smelt awful I had to shower" He looked at me in anger. "That is the stupidest excuse you could have ever come up with. You're obviously going somewhere." I shook my head and walked past him. He took a deep breath and grabbed onto my shoulder.

I could feel his finger digging into my shoulder blades. "Take your shirt off" I looked over my shoulder at him in shock. Maybe I didn't hear him right. "What?" His frown deepened. "Take OFF your shirt." I was praying that what I thought was going to happen wouldn't happen. I took off my sweatshirt to reveal my sports bra. He pushed me down onto my knees, facing away from him. I heard him go down the stairs and go into the kitchen. Then he walked into his bedroom and did something else. When he came back he said, "You never learn do you." I was so confused, what was he talking about. I heard him doing something behind me. Then the worst thing that has ever happened in my life happened. I felt a leather belt come in contact with my back. The pain was unexplained. I screamed bloody murder. He hit me again, and again, and again. After a certain point, I just stopped screaming.

He finally stopped when his arm got tired. He just walked downstairs and watched the game on TV. I just laid there sobbing quietly. My heart was hurting, not just my body. Every time he lays a hand on me it makes my heart break more and more. My back was on fire, searing pain was all I could manage to think about. But one thing overshadowed that, Emmett. I knew I had to meet Emmett in 20 minutes, so I tried to get up. This only worsened the pain and caused me to yelp out. "SHUT UP!" my dad yelled. I flinched at the sound of his voice, I grabbed onto the bathroom doorknob and pulled myself up. I felt like I couldn't breathe I was in so much pain. I stumbled into my bedroom and closed the door. I opened my top dresser drawer and pulled out my first aid kit. I got it from the nurse's office, I also got some pain and sleeping pills. I took the gauze and wrapped it around my back and torso. Then I took some pain pills to help ease the pain.

I then sat down at my desk and continued to read my book. The Prince and the Pauper by Mark Twain. About 10 minutes later I got ready to leave for the park. I grabbed my phone and checked to make sure my bandages weren't visible under my hoodie. I opened my window and grabbed onto the sill. I stepped out of the window and dangled from it. It hurt my back so much but for some reason, something was telling me that I had to go and see him, TONIGHT. I closed my window 3/4 of the way then jumped from my house to the tree next to my window. I climbed down the tree and started walking towards the park. I cut through some peoples back yards and dodged an angry cat but I finally made it to the park. As I was walking up the concrete sidewalk I saw a large figure sitting on a bench in the center of the park. I walked towards the figure scarred but prepared for what was going to happen. The figure stood up and as I walked into the light I could see the familiar handsome face of my boyfriend. Well, my soon to be ex-boyfriend.

When I approached him he smiled and held out his hand for me to take. I gladly took it and sat down beside him. "I'm glad you came, I was worried you might not show," He said. "That would be very rude of me to leave you sitting in the dark and cold, without any notice," I said. He smiled and then turned serious again "I know it was strange for me to call you here but we need to talk" I nodded my head for him to continue ready for his words. Ready to take the bitter pill that I would be forced to swallow. "My family and I have a secret and I think you deserve to know" I was confused, I thought he was breaking up with me. "You have to promise me that you won't tell anyone, no matter what." "I promise," I said "Ok, me and my family aren't normal people" Ok now I was scared, what does he mean 'Not normal people'? "My family and I are….vampires" My eye's widened, no way vampires don't exist.

"Emmett vampires don't exist. Now please tell me what the real problem is because this is not funny." He shook his head frantically "I'm not joking" I still didn't believe him. He can't be a vampire theirs no way. He stood up and ran away but I couldn't see him any were. "Emmett!" I yelled, "Over here" I heard from a distance. I turned around to see him standing on the other side of the park. My mouth dropped open, he ran back and stood in front of me. I stood up now scared of him, if he is a vampire, don't vampires drink blood? Is that why he and his family have been hanging out with me because I'm a free blood bank. "Please don't be scared of me, I promise I will never hurt you." I swallowed the lump in my throat and sat back down.

"My family and I drink animal blood rather than human blood. That's why we have golden eye's" I nodded my head still in shock. Then realization washed over me, he wasn't going to dump me. I sighed a breath of relief, but now what I mean he is a vampire. "We vampires have acute senses. We can hear from 3 blocks away, we can smell over 5 miles away, we can see every spec of every detail of every object." I nodded my head taking in all of this information. "Us vampires also have mates. Mates are our other half, the person that you would die for to protect, no matter what." My smile faded again, it sounded like he had a mate. "It sounds like you know what that feels like" he nodded his head "I do." I nodded my head in return and said "So I'm assuming that everyone in your family is mated to each other. So Alice and Jasper, Bella and Edward, Rosalie and Benjamin, and Carlisle and Esme." He nodded 'yes' and said "That's correct, but Renesmee is Jacob's mate. That is a long story that I will tell you about later." I nodded my head and smiled understanding all of this information. "So because you're a vampire does that mean if I want some food you can bring it to me in less than a minute," I asked excitedly.

He chuckled and said "Yes, I can If you want" I smiled bigger until a thought crossed my mind. 'He has a mate' I sighed and asked "Based off of what you just told me about mates, you obviously have one. So why are you telling me all this information? After this, I'm leaving and we won't talk anymore." He looked shocked "What, no I'm telling you this because… you're my mate, Sid." I was now flabbergasted, I was his mate? I was destined to be with him, forever? "Really, or are you just saying that," I asked tears starting to fall down my face. He moved closer to me and pulled me into a hug "I'm 100% serious, your my mate and I knew from day one. I was just scared to tell you about me being a vampire. Most people would run away from me if they found this out." I was so happy, this day had been absolute shit. But Emmett telling me this made it better. He pulled away from the hug and looked at me with a smile. He pulled me close and gently pressed his lips to mine. The coldness didn't even matter. When we pulled away I started to think. Maybe I should tell him about my dad, I mean I can trust him. "Emmett I have to tell you something" he nodded his head for me to continue "My life isn't as happy as it seems. My dad…" I stopped to think about what I was doing. "Your dad what?" he asked, I took a deep breath and said "My dad beats me at home. Every day, and he's been doing it for almost a year." He looked angry but not shocked.

He pulled me into another hug and said "Thank you for telling me. I've known for a long time, I just wanted you to feel comfortable enough to tell me." I was not completely surprised by this, he told me that vampires have crazy good senses. He pulled back from our hug with a confused face. I felt his fingers rubbing over the gauze under my sweatshirt. "What is that," he asked I shook my head "Nothing." He looked at me and said "No more secrets, remember" I sighed and stood up I turned my back to him and said, "Lift up my shirt." He did and when he saw the gauze he asked: "What happened to your back" I didn't say anything. He unraveled the gauze from around my back. The cold, night air stung my cuts. I hissed and he gasped quickly putting the gauze back. When I felt his hands let go I put my shirt back down and turned around to face him.

He looked away from me and growled, I could feel the hate radiating off of him. I quickly grabbed his face and turned it towards me. "Hey, it's ok, calm down" he turned back to me, anger on his chiseled face. "How can I calm down when he did something like that to you." I was a little worried, I hated my dad but I didn't want Emmett to kill him and then get in trouble. "Emmett, I know it's hard but I don't want you to do anything, do you understand me? You are better than him in so many ways and you are not going to stoop down to his level. Ok?" He nodded his head and said "Ok" I smiled thanking god that I was able to calm him down. I let go of his face and started to sit back down. But he stood up and grabbed my hands. He reached down and grabbed the back of my thighs and picked me up. My legs now wrapped around his waist, he placed one of his hands on my bottom and the other on my upper back, being careful to not touch my cuts. " I'm taking you to Carlisle to get you cleaned up." I nodded my head and wrapped my arms around his neck. I buried my face into his neck, ready to fall asleep.
