Saffron's POV
Chapter Twenty
-:-
Ryan interwined our fingers as we held hands walking back to the short distance from our house.
I lifted my head to look at Ryan to find that he was already looking at me with his beautiful topaz eyes and smiling. My lips automatically pulled up into a smile. The silence around us was both comfortable and tranquil.
Once we reached the door, Ryan bent down to give me another kiss, his lips met mine and I fought the urge to deepen it. I opened my eyes to see Ryan chuckling silently at me so I playfully slapped his arm and he muttered something about unseen strength.
I opened the door carefully, not knowing what to expect. A black haired pixie had jumped on me, knocking me over in a hug before I even had the door halfway open.
"I knew it, I knew it, I knew it!" Alice's golden eyes were sparkling and her lips were pulled up into a big, almighty smile.
"You can get off her now Alice." She got off, only to jump on Ryan, which made me laugh.
I noticed that when I stopped laughing, everyone had gathered into the hallway and froze. Even Alice who was had her arms loosely around Ryan.
It only took me a few seconds to realise that this was the first time I had laughed like that, where I had laughed so freely, so happily. The sadness had ebbed away from my life and ever since Ryan had first kissed me…I felt sorta…whole. As if I was a normal teenage girl who got turned into a vampire. That my father never happened and my dead sister had slipped my mind for more than an hour.
I felt happy.
Esme was the first to react and walked towards me calmly, helping me up off the floor only to envelope me in a hug.
"It's about time." She said and I could feel her smile radiating through me as she let go.
The rest of the family hugged or squealed at me and Ryan and then I saw Edward's head sharply turn towards the door.
"They're early."
"But there not supposed to come until next week!" Alice's voice sounded panicked.
"They're here."
Three loud knocks sounded on the door before the door opened and in came two vampires. Two vampires that didn't look very pleased at all as they saw Ryan holding my hand, rubbing circles into my palm. They didn't look friendly either. No, with their shining crimson eyes, they looked murderous.
They took two steps forward before the girl said, "He's mine."

An: I was going to extend this chapter, but not many people have voted about who these mysterious people were in my polls so…for all those who did, thank you but the rest of you get your butts over there now!
