Narrator:

Scarlet step through the Jasper size hole, that had been created in their bedroom door and stopped. She had been heading for the stairs, but there were none. She knew Jasper and Jacob had caused part of the second floor to meet the first but she had no idea, that the damage had been bad enough to cause the stairs to the second floor to collapse to the first. She sighed because of her decision the Cullen house had been destroyed. She had thought long and hard about the decision she made. Up until she saw her mates battling her family, she had believed that she had made the right choice. Even then she still felt in a way that she had done the right thing, but looking at the mess before her she knew she had chosen wrong. Yes her grandmother and mother were innocent and didn't deserve what Jerome had planned for them. But the Cullen family, the Whilocks, Jacob and the packs were innocent also.

They had been living a good life, a peaceful life. Sure they had some ups and downs, but then she shows up. A marriage brakes up. Folks get shot, she gets hurt and looses her damn mind causing mental and emotional anguish to her mates and her new family. And now she could add one more fuck up to her fault list. She could repair the house, just as she had done with the windows she had blown out, but she still felt like shit for it happening in the first place.

Scarlet also felt like shit for not explaining to Jacob about his second form. She should have told him. She just knew he freaked the fuck out when it happened, not only is that form hard to control but it hurts like a bitch. Scar started to cry, she was sorry that any of this had happened and more was yet to come. She wanted to leave, to run and hide. It was really the only sure fire way to keep her mates and family safe from her but she wouldn't, she knew what would happen if she did.

"Scar, darlin' you okay?" Jasper calls from down below. She wipes her tears away and steps off what used to be the second floor and lands gracefully in front of Jasper and Jacob.

"I'm fine." She says to them and turns to face the other vampires and wolves in the house.

"I'm sorry." She mutters, with fresh tears running down her face. Esme steps away form the group and pulls Scarlet into her arms and hugs her the way any mother would, who's child had messed up and thought they were not loved anymore.

"Scarlet, why didn't you come to us? We could have helped you come up with a better salutation than handing yourself over to Jerome!" Esme scolds as she pulls away to look at her. Getting scolded by Esme was worse than when her own mother did it. It made Scar feel like a pile of dog crap. Which made her only cry more.

Jazz comes and takes her into his arms and holds her tight. Jake steps up to stand to the left of her and starts to rub the small of her back. He glances over at Jasper and catches his eye. They didn't need to speak to know what the other was thinking. Asmuch as they hated seeing Scar cry and hurt, they couldn't help but think maybe she deserved a little of it, after all she was the one that left them. But even so they'd already forgiven her and Hell would freeze over before Scarlet ever left them again, for any reason.

"I'm so sorry. I was trying to protect my mom and grandma. All of you, Jazz and Jake. I thought I could stop it all and protect everyone at the same time."

"Protect everyone but yerself!" Peter growls out in a pissed off tone. Jasper and Jacob growl back. They had forgiven her, and that was all that mattered, well Jake still had a few things to get off his chest but that was between him and her.

"What's crawled up your ass?" Jacob growls. Peter tares his gaze off Scar and glares at Jacob.

"What's crawled up my ass? I'll tell you what's crawled up my ass! She didn't care about us enough to come to us! She knew what the fuck would happen if she left! And she chose to do it anyway! Then you two act like everything's hunky dory because she's back. " Scarlet lets go of Jasper and steps toward Peter.

"I was tryin' to save everyone. If I didn't care about any of ya I wouldn't have fuckin' bothered!"

"I didn't ask ya to do me any fuckin' favors! I can take care of myself!" Scarlet and Peter stare each other down.

"Why are you so angry?"

"Forget it, it's not like you'd give a damn anyway." Scar takes a deep breath, spins around and walks out of the room. She walks out the front door and starts for the trees. Jasper appears in front of her.

"Where ya goin', darlin'?"

"I'm going for a walk, before I do something I'll regret!" Jasper takes her in his arms.

"I can't let ya do that sugar." He plants his lips to hers and she responds immediately. She parts her lips for him and he explores her mouth greedily. When his lips part from hers, he grins. She has a dazed expression on her face, and she smells divine.

"All better now?" Jasper asks. Scar smirks but before she can reply, Jacob has her in his arms with his tongue down her throat. He pulls away and smiles.

"Now she's all better." Scarlet staggers a bit but Jake catches her. She shakes her head and looks at them.

"You boys don't know your own strength." Both guys laugh and Jasper goes to pull her in again, but she stops him.

"Nope, no more. I gotta be able to focus. We gotta problem to solve and I can't do that if I'm off on cloud nine. but first I need to make a few home repairs." She takes their hands and leads them back inside. She walks them over to where every one else is and lets them go. She gives Peter a death glare, then turns to face the biggest part of the wreckage.

"What's she doing." She hears one of the wolves asks. She thought it sounded like Sam.

"Hush and watch!" She hears Rose hiss. The wolves knew Scar was skilled in telekinesis, they had witnessed her fix Edwards Volvo using only her mind, but this was different. The house they were standing in was just too wrecked for her to fix it the way she had done the Volvo. A couple of big dents and broke glass was a hell of a lot different then the disaster in front of them.

Jasper could feel their doubt and took great pleasure in feeling their utter shock, when the second floor started to rise and knit it's self back in it's original place and the stair case followed up with it. A grin spread across his face, when their shock turn to enchantment as they watched the shattered glass that had blanketed the carpet float and shimmer in the light of the room, it looked like tiny diamonds dancing in the air. The glass danced for only a few seconds, then flew back to the window pains it had come from.

Moments later it looked as if nothing had ever happened. Star smiles to herself pleased with a job well done, then turns to face a half smiling, half gaping crowd.

"How did you do that?" Paul stutters out. Scarlet laughs.

"The same way I fixed Edward's Volvo the night I threw ya into it, with my mind. I've told you all already. All I have to do is think about what I want done and it happens."

"Well when we're finished there's a hole in Billy's roof, that Rachel has been after me to fix. Come fix it for me, please."

"You still haven't fixed that damn hole." Jacob spits out through gritted teeth.

"Don't start with me, it's not like you've been around or been any help!" Jake growls.

"Enough ya two, I'll come fix it Paul. Ya should have already asked."

"It's not your job!" Jacob says to her. Scar shrugs, then gazes across the room were her godfather stood. They look at each other a moment, then Scar walks over to him and pulls him into the center of the room for all to see.

"Uncle Vince, did you introduce yourself to everyone." Mummers erupt through the room. He smiles.

"No Scar I haven't, I was waiting for you." She nods and looks to her mates.

"Jasper, Jacob this is my godfather from when I was here before." They gape at her. Jacob because he can't believe there's still someone alive from then and Jasper because he thought this man to be dead. Jasper steps forward and examines the man.

"I thought ya were dead?" Vince smirks.

"That seems to be the rumor." Scar steps up and wraps her arms around Jasper.

"My dad lied."

"Why?" Vince clears his throat.

"I didn't agree with him, so I left. In order to keep his daughter from me because he knew how close we were. He told the lie that I was dead." He then turns to Jake and holds out his hand.

"Never got the pleasure of meeting the queens second mate. I'm Vincent Reed, Scarlet's godfather. I had already left by the time she brought you home." Jake shakes his hand.

"Nice to meet you. How the hell are you still alive?" Vince chuckles.

"I'm a werewolf, son. We have that whole immortality, thing going for us too. We can be killed but it'd have to be something pretty fucking bad in order for it to kill us. Same shit applies to you does it not?"

"Yeah as long as I keep phasing." Vince glances at Scar, then back to Jake.

"You gonna stop?" Jake smiles reaches out pulls her from Jasper and whispers to her.

"Never." Scar grins.

"Good answer. Anyway, uncle Vince will you tell them why you're here, please."

"My pleasure sweetheart. I've been working for Jerome." The room erupts in growls, Jasper reaches for Vince but Scar steps in front of him.

"NO! Let him finish!"

"Thank you Scar. As I was saying I have been working for Jerome, to learn what the bastards really up to. That shit he told Scar about breaking the mate bond between you three is hog wash. You can't break a mate bond, even in death."

"Then what is he plannin' on doing?" Jasper asks.

"He's found some off the wall ritual, that will allow him to summon her wolf and her powers to him. It'll kill her in the process."

"Shit."

"That's not all Jazz." Scar says to him.

"What else?" Scar looks at Vince to continue.

"Jerome can't control those powers or that wolf. If he gets what he wants, all of the supernatural world is in trouble."

"What do you mean?" Carlisle asks.

"The wolf will take control and run rampant. All of you understand, what kind of gifts Scar has. She's pretty much unstoppable. Picture that out of control." No one says a word. Jake looks down at Scar, then back up to Vince.

"But now that Scar's back with us he can't possibly try to go through with this bullshit, can he?" Vince sighs.

"I wish I could tell you the answer you want to hear, son. But the truth is Jerome isn't gonna stop until he either gets what he's after or he dies trying."

"Well fuck it!" Jasper growls as he throws his hands in the air, then turns and starts to storm out of the room. Scar blinks in front of him, to stop him from leaving.

"Where ya going, Major?" She purrs in a husky voice. She knows what she's doing, she knew how it affected him when she spoke like that to him. Jasper's eyes turn black with lust, he reaches out and pulls her body flush with his.

"Darlin, I know what yer up to." Scar giggles.

"Is it workin'?" Jasper growls.

"Oh, yeah."

"Good. Now tell me were you're going."

"Australia, darlin.' I have a werewolf to kill." Scar shakes her head.

"No you're not. You're gonna stay here with me and we're gonna figure out how to stop him as a family. We're together in this."

"But." Scar places her finger over his lips and hush's him.

"No but's. I won't loose you because you run off like a dumb ass and get yourself killed."

"Fine." He says with a pout. "But I really want to go kill him." Scar grins.

"I promise when the time comes, I'll let you kill him." He grins and hugs her tightly to him.

"Well that was dramatic. But if you don't mind Jasper, we have a asshole to stop. You know before he kills Scar's mom and grandma, then tries to take her powers and kill her!" Peter says in a smart ass tone, interrupting the moment. Scar lets out a growl, she'd had enough of his damn attitude. She untangles herself from Jasper, marches over to Peter, grabs his shirt collar and drags him out of the house. Once they're in the back yard, she tosses him into the trees. Peter climbs to his feet.

"What the hell did ya do that for!?" He shouts. Scar growls.

"I've had enough of your attitude! What the hell is your problem!? I said I was sorry Peter, let it go!" He storms up to her and snarls in her face.

"Fuck that! Yer sorry doesn't cut it this time, sugar! This latest stunt is the third time ya've put yerself in danger. And not once did ya think about the fuckin' consequence!" Jasper appears at Scar's side snarling and pushes Peter away from her. Peter may be her protector but there was no way in hell he'd allow him to talk to her that way or get in her face the way he just did.

"Don't ever get in her face or talk like that to her again!" Jasper growls.

"Oh go fuck yerself, Major. Ya know yer just as pissed off as I am, but yer too afraid to say anything cuz she might cut ya off from her fuckin' pussy!" Jasper snarls and tackles Peter to the ground. He grabs Peter by the throat and pulls his free hand into a fist, he gets one good shot to his face before Scar pulls him off of Peter putting herself between them.

"Both of you knock it the fuck off!" As if he hadn't heard a word she'd just spoke. Peter climbs to his feet, pushes Scar out of the way and does a flying superman punch across the few feet between he and Jasper. But before he can land the hit, an invisible impenetrable wall flies up between them and he's sent flying back into the group of onlookers, that had gathered out in the yard. When he gets back to his feet Scar's standing in front of Jasper, with the wind whipping threw her hair and her eyes blazing with anger. Jasper's standing behind her grinning like a cheshire cat.

"I said knock it the fuck off!" Thunder booms from above, shaking the ground underneath their feet. Peter holds his hands up in surrender.

"Okay, okay. I give!" Vince who had been standing to the side with Jacob watching the entire thing steps forward.

"As much as I love to watch our queen at work, we only have a few hours left before Jerome knows she's not coming. We need a plan and fast." Scarlet looks over at her godfather and snarls out.

"Do you know where they're being kept?"

"Yes."

"Well?"

"Jerome's keeping them at what he called the haunted house." Scar growls lowly in her chest.

"Bastard!" A tree standing not to far from the house suddenly uproots it's self and goes flying past the group of vamps and wolves. No one had to question how the tree did that, they all knew who was the cause of it. Jacob pulls Scar close to him, trying to calm her down but it doesn't work. Scar pushes him away from her and stalks off toward the river. Jazz and Jake move to go after her but Peter stops them.

"Leave her be." Jasper turns to him with a snarl. "Oh quite yer grippin' she wants to be alone now. If she hadn't she would have pushed Jake away."

"What's it matter to you, you were ready to rip her a new one just seconds ago!" Jake growls out. Peter shrugs.

"I got over it."

"Ya mean yer chicken shit and don't want to fight the one person who could kill ya from a distance!" Jasper half laughs, half growls.

"Maybe, but doesn't change the fact that I'm right, leave her be." Jazz and Jake both snarl and walk back into the house, all but Peter and Rose follow them. Rose starts to walk down to where Scarlet sat but Peter blurs in front of her.

"Where ya goin' blondie?" Rose smiles.

"To check on my sister."

"I said to leave her be." Rose shrugs.

"Good thing I don't listen to you." She pushes past him and rushes down to the water. Peter tries to catch her but she makes it to Scar before he can. She turns and sticks her tongue out to him, then sits down by Scar. Peter growls in frustration but leaves it be and walks away. Rose reaches out and wraps her arm around Scar's shoulders, bringing Scar's head to rest on chest.

"Scar tell me what's wrong." Scar sighs.

"He was my best friend Rose, we grew up together. He knows more about me than my on mother! How could he do this to me!?" Scar sniffles. Roses rubs her back, trying her best to sooth her.

"I'm so sorry, Scar. I know what it feels like to be betrayed by the one you thought cared about you. It's not something you just get over."

"How did you deal with it?"

"I killed him." Scar looks at her in surprise. Rose grins.

"Oh don't look at me like that, I did what needed to be done and now so do you."

"I can't."

"Scar there's really no other choice it's either him or you!" Roses screeches.

"Relax, I never said he wouldn't die I just said I couldn't do it, I promised Jasper he could."

"That will work too, as long as he dies I don't care who does it."

"I think ya want the bastard dead more than I do." Rose shrugs.

"I do he's hurt this family in many ways and I want his head on a stake."

"Rose he did it because of me, so the one ya want dead should really be me. This is all my fault." Rose reaches out and pinches Scar on the arm.

"Oww! What the hell was that for!?"

"It was for you being a dumb ass! Scar I could never want you dead you're my sister in every way but blood and this is not your fault. Jerome chose to do this you didn't make him! So quit beating yourself up over it and lets go throw him and his friends on the, how would you put it? Oh yeah, the barbie!" Scar laughs.

"Rose ya have the worst Australian accent I ever heard!"

"Eh, I tried. So what's the plan boss? We leaving now or later?" Scar climbs to her feet dust off her backside, then bends down and pulls Rose up to stand beside her.

"We're gonna go in and see if we can't come up with a suitable plan with the others, then once that's done we're gonna go take care of Jerome."

"What if he finds out that you're not on that plane before we're ready?" Scar looks up at the sky.

"We better pray he doesn't."
