A/N: New chapters for my stories are instantly updated to my P atreon, under the same username, as soon as I finish writing them! I will still post new chapters here, just much slower as I'm putting all my focus on P atreon. I really appreciate all the support I've received from this site, which is why I will not stop posting here, just slowing down. I keep an updated list of the chapters I've posted so far on P atreon on my profile, just so you guys know what to look forward to when I eventually post them here ^^

If anyone has any questions or concerns about me posting on P atreon, please PM me about it and I will explain the move, but please don't post a review about it, please leave reviews to be just that: a review about the story. There was a lot of thought and research about moving to P atreon and I'm more than happy to explain it all. But please, above all else, enjoy the chapter! =D

I looked out the plane window as I thought about how my reception of coming home would be received. I was not only worried about how Charlie would react to me not only leaving home again with telling him like I did when I went to Phoenix but this time I went to a completely other country in a different continent. I was worried about if he would be mad with me, upset that I was willing to go to another country without planning anything out and with little resources and expect to be able to be safe. I was also worried he would be disappointed.

I think I was most worried about him being disappointed in me and the decisions I'd been making since I met the Cullen's.

"What has you thinking so loudly love?" Heidi asked with a wide smile as she tried to get closer to me.

The queens had opted for us, me, Jane and Heidi, to use a public plane, first class because apparently Heidi wouldn't settle for anything but the best, so when I got home, Charlie wouldn't be suspicious about how I knew people rich enough to have their own plane. I had thought it would be smart to have Charlie pick me up from the airport, but the queens talked me out of it and instead Carlisle would be picking me up. Apparently the story was Alice and I went to Italy because we decided to look into an art program for her and an English program for me all on Alice's 'allowance savings'. They were worried about a small town gossiping too much about the famous doctor's daughter running off with the police chief's daughter, so the queens wanted to make sure we stayed as close as possible to what two teenagers may actually do when one of them had too much money on hand.

"I'm just thinking about what will happen when I get home." I answered, not bothering to look at the vampire that was doing her best to try and not so sneakily sneak into my seat with me. The first class seats were more than big enough to fit two people that didn't have a problem being close with each other and were okay with ignoring the flight attendants; it was the first thing Heidi commented about when we boarded.

Truthfully, while I was very worried about what Charlie was going to say and how our reunion would play out when Carlisle drop's me off at home, I was more worried about the pack.

I hadn't exactly left Jacob on a good note when I raced off with Alice. In fact, I'm pretty sure he was really pissed at me when I chose to go with Alice instead of staying with him. As much as I loved Jake, as a brother and nothing more, it was hard when he claims to love me as much but doesn't support any decisions I make. I knew he didn't like the vampires, didn't matter which vampires, but I would think as my best friend he would at least try and put in an effort to at least not talk bad about them in front of me. But he never bothered with a filter, as if he didn't care about talking bad about the Cullen's and how it may upset me.

But now I was bring back red-eyed vampires, the very vampires the pack had been literally raised to hate and then later trained and taught to kill on sight. I was worried with bringing a few red-eyed vampires to Forks, Felix and Alec came alone as well for added protected in case the pack did anything, would enrage the pack. I really did like the whole, hanging out with them, going to bonfires and listening to their stories, I wanted to keep going to those. I wanted to still be friends with them. I was very afraid of the very real possibility of losing them as friends. They could very well brand me as an enemy because not only was I choosing vampires over them again but I was also choosing vampires that were going to be killing in their backyard and asking them not to do anything about it.

I was afraid they were going to do what Jacob did when he first shifted and no longer allow me to be any of their friends. It would hurt so much if they did that.

"Are you really that worried?" Heidi asked as she opted to just kneel next to me instead of trying to share my seat. She grabbed my attention instantly, not only did it seem out of character to me that she gave up so easily on getting so close to me, but at her serious tone. She always threw me off kilter when she used a serious tone; I always forget how old she was and she could in fact be serious when she needed to be.

I heard more than saw Jane move behind me, silently letting me know she was with me, listening and likely as concerned as Heidi. Jane was more the silent type and seemed to be more than okay with allowing Heidi to do most of the talking. Since we were technically supposed to be in our own seats for the trip, she would probably stay exactly there until we were allowed to disembark. Jane provided a steady strength by just being present, she didn't need to say anything or be on top of me for me to feel her presence and to be able to garner her strength.

Heidi, Heidi was her own beast that was as tactile as a person possibly could without a filter or shame and seemed to had nothing holding her back. So to have her refrain from trying to climb in my lap no matter who our audience was, was shocking.

"I don't want to lose my friends." I admitted with a sad smile. I hadn't kept that a secret.

Before we even left the castle to go to the airport, I made it very clear several times that the pack was off limits. Once the queens were confident, they weren't actual werewolves, no matter what the pack liked to call themselves, they were on board to make sure they weren't harmed. Well, they were at least willing to command the guard to respect their land and not hunt there and if they were to ask for a wider circumference around the land to not have any hunting, then they were to listen. During that discussion I learned human drinkers were apparently able to go a lot longer without hunting since what they were putting in their body was what their body actually needed. It was like since they were humans, the human blood was more compatible with their human body and animal wasn't. Sulpicia theorized that animal blood was 'burned off' faster because it wasn't quite the same as human blood, so while it could work and stave off their hunger, not only was it not as satisfying, it didn't stay in them long and so vegetarians had to hunt more frequently. Therefore, the queens were confident the pack and the guards would be able to come up with some agreement to keep the peace.

I wasn't so sure.

I was mentally preparing myself to lose the friends I had grown so close to while they helped bring me back from the dark depths of depression Edward had left me in. I couldn't lose them; especially Jacob, Leah and Seth. Those three were the ones that helped me the most. Leah was always quick to kick me in the ass to get me out of my dark thoughts, Seth was always there to get me to laugh and Jacob was always there to distract to. It was a team effort to get me back from the zombie I had turned into. I really didn't want to lose that.

"We'll do everything we can to make sure that doesn't happen." Heidi promised me and I believed her. If there was one thing I was starting to learn about Jane and Heidi, they were both willing to do practically anything for me. If there was a way for them to keep the peace wit the wolves and to help ensure I didn't lose their friendship, they would find it and do it.

I felt Jane squeeze my shoulder in a comforting gesture, "If there's one thing Heidi is good at, it's getting people to do what she wants; with or without her power." Jane said before squeezing my shoulder one more time and leaning back into her seat. "It's really the only way she can get friends herself." Jane added, likely as a way to distract me from my thoughts by engaging Heidi in one of their teasing fights the two seemed to find themselves in from time to time. There was never any malice in it, it was just fun teasing on both sides meant for fun.

Heidi leaned back on her heels, keeping her hand on my knee, "You're just jealous I have more friends than you." Heidi tossed back at her with a teasing grin, "The poor thing's only friend is her brother, and that's probably only because he had no choice who he was born with." She told me with a mocking pout and faux sympathy, making me laugh.

"Says the woman that has to use coercion to make any friends." Jane said and for a moment I wanted to look behind me to see if there was a matching frown to match her pouty tone.

Heidi only rolled her eyes, "See? Such a people person." She said with a smile before patting my knee and standing up. She had good timing as the light and message from the captain came on for us to put our seatbelts on as we had arrived.

Heidi and Jane had done an amazing job of helping me to relax, but there was no helping me calm down when I was about to face the very thing, I was nervous to see. I could feel Heidi and Jane's eyes on me, and I knew they wanted to do something to help me get over my nerves but I knew there was nothing they could do. I just had to wait to see what would happen first when I get home with Charlie and then when I see Jacob and the pack. The guards would be seeing them first, to set up a truce while I was with Charlie. Heidi was going to the meeting while Jane stayed with me; they probably wanted to see if Heidi could use her gift on them to get her way. She probably could and definitely would. She was under strict orders to get back to me as soon as possible so I could know what happened; if she knew if I was still allowed on the reservation or not.

With a deep breath, I relaxed further into my seat as I felt our elevation drop. I sent a silent prayer to anyone who would listen for my night to be over quickly and to not end in the disaster I was afraid it would.
