Me: Steph, I am glad to say Twilight is not mine. I might have screwed it up.

Steph: Glad you understand.

Me: Yep! Hey…

Zephyr's POV

I looked in her eyes. I looked for some way out, but I found none. I had to tell her. On the upside, she would forget about Masen.

"Yes Ellen, I did. I'm guessing you already knew that, though," I told her with a smile. I hoped that she knew. If I wasn't making it obvious, I wasn't doing my job.

"I didn't really consider it until I realized you were part wolf. Speaking of which, that's you isn't it?" she asked while pointing at my shirt. She's pretty smart.

"It sure is. You know you always have the choice whether you want to be with me or not. It's pretty obvious you like Masen, I was just hoping-" I started babbling, but she silenced me with her finger. A kiss would have worked just as well.

"Zephyr, there's no competition. I was going to tell Masen no tomorrow. Besides, imprinting's like insurance," she said with a wink. She knew about it before I did, so I guess it was okay for her to joke.

"Um, guys. If you're done with your mush fest, I would like to play Ellen at a few games," Emmett tantalized.

"Same here! I've got a lot of games, and I want to hear what Texas is like now-a-days," Jasper said. He was lucky he had something in common with her.

"You don't happen to have any hunting games, do you?" Ellen asked with a wry smile. She was hiding something. I was going to have to play with them, I just had a feeling it would be good.

"Of course! Why do you ask, Tex?" Jasper drawled in his southern accent. He was going a little overboard now.

"No reason, Colonel," she drawled back. It was adorable when she did it. I decided this was about the time when I would defuse everybody's powers, apart from Alice and me, of course. No cheating with my imprint.

"What the heck, Zeph?" Edward asked annoyed.

"Dude! I needed to be able to feel her!" Jasper whined. I growled. No one could feel my Ellen.

"You know what I mean. Sorry," he apologized.

I thought back to what he said, and immediately felt guilty. I definitely had lost it.

"No Jazz, that was my bad," I told him.

"Okay you guys, and Ellen. Bella, Rose, and I are going to do our nails. Edward, are you going to join the men," Ellen cleared her throat pointedly, "and woman? Or are you going to come with us?" Edward looked like he actually considered it. He must have caught something in Ellen's mind earlier.

"I'll go with the guys and Ellen," he finally decided. What a wuss.

"You kids have fun. Oh my goodness! It's nine thirty! Ellen, you should call Michael and ask him to let you spend the night. That is if you want to spend the night with a bunch of not-so-mythical creatures," she said with a warm, motherly smile. I hope Ellen loves her as much as we do.

"Of course! I'll be right back. Is it okay if before school we stop by my house to get my backpack and stuff?" she asked. She was so considerate.

"Absolutely, dear! Now you kids go have fun," she pushed us along. She must want to do something really bad if she wanted us out of the way that bad.

Ellen walked off to call her Uncle. I didn't try to listen, considering it wasn't that important.

She walked back in with a gorgeous smile on her face. This will be interesting.

We all sat open mouthed. We had played Cabela's Big Game Hunter several times. Guess who won every single game. Ellen. She beat three immortal males. Was she human? She smelled human.

Edward just stormed out of the room. He muttered something about mind control. What was that about?

"How the hell did you win? This is my game! I play it all the time!" Jasper ranted. He was really mad that he had gotten beaten by someone other than Emmett. Speaking of Emmett, where had he gone?

Crash! Found him!

We all looked out the window where Emmett had thrown the game system against a tree, causing the Wii to break, and the tree to fall over. Great, we really needed him to break our Wii. Ugh.

"That wasn't weird at all," Ellen said sarcastically. She then looked to Jasper.

"I beat you because I actually hunt. What you guys do is cheating. I'll have to show you what real hunting is like sometime," she said with a smirk. She was so adorable! I can't wait until she shows us.

"I can't wait," I told her with a smile. I heard her rate speed up. Did I do that?

"Okay guys, I don't need to have my power to feel these mushy emotions. I'll see y'all later," Jasper said. His accent seemed more noticeable when Ellen was around.

"Hey Zephyr-"she began, but I cut her off. I wanted her to call me what my family did.

"Please Ellen, call me Zeph. You don't have to, but it's what my family calls me," I told her and looked into her eyes. I loved the way they seemed to reflect light in just the right way. They almost seemed gold sometimes.

"Alright Zeph, where can I set up camp?" Uh oh, where was she supposed to sleep?

"Follow me, dear. I have just the place for you," Esme said, showing up out of nowhere. I didn't want to ruin the surprise for myself or Ellen, so I turned off my power to read minds. I was so glad I had met Rachel. She gave me this power, but she also had a little more than a crush on me. She was like my own Tanya. I shuddered at the thought.

I reached for Ellen's hand as we headed up to the third floor. She quickly grasped mine. I would have to ask her later if we were a thing. I didn't want to sound clingy, but I wanted to be able to let everyone at school know she was taken.

We soon passed me room, and at the end of the hall there was Edward's old room. When Esme pushed the door open, Ellen's breath caught. Even I did a double take.

The walls were covered in different shades of green, aqua, and brown. There was a queen sized bed with a comforter set that matched the walls perfectly. There was a bookcase on one of the walls, and Edward's CD wall was stocked with all sorts of music. There was a love seat in one corner, and a tiny fridge in another. It was so Ellen. I had just met her, but I felt like I had known her for a life time.

"Oh Esme!" Ellen choked out. She was crying. I quickly turned and wiped her tears away with my thumb. Her eyes were bright blue! Maybe she had mood eyes.

"It's gorgeous, Esme. Thank you so much," Ellen said as she walked over to embrace Esme. Soon, Alice, Jasper, Rose, and Emmett were in the room with us. They all seemed taken aback by the room as well.

"You've outdone yourself, Mom," Emmett said in a serious tone. He still seemed to be in shock, but it might have been due to the fact that Ellen's TV was two inches longer than his. I grinned.

"It was nothing, Ellen," Esme said as she moved a strand of Ellen's gorgeous hair from her eyes. I then remembered to turn everyone's power on. I wanted to feel Ellen's emotions.

She was happy. She wasn't just happy, she was joyful and ecstatic! Her happiness made my heart swell. I then turned off my own powers. I just wanted to be normal with her.

"Wow Esme, this is brilliant! The colors go with each other perfectly! I should have you help design Ellen and-"I cut her off with one look. She was not about to bring up a wedding. Not right now at least. "Ellen's prom dress!" she corrected herself at the last second. Ellen looked at her funny, but she didn't say anything.

"Totally! I could help too, if you want," Rosalie offered. She had a lot of respect for Ellen. I could see it in the way she looked at her. Ellen was making all of us change a little. Or a lot, if you're talking about me.

"Zeph, you're making me go crazy! Alice, let's go to our room," Jasper said in an urgent tone. Oh God, no! Gross!

"I hate to be a pain, but I have to check my blood sugar. Do you think you could take me out to the woods or something?" she asked me. Was she serious? I would most certainly not make her leave to check her blood sugar. We could take a little blood.

"Absolutely not! We can handle a little drop of blood, Ellen," I told her. She should never feel like she's a burden.

"No! You guys have really been too kind. I can go outside to check my blood sugar," she said trying to persuade me. It wasn't happening.

"Hon, you can trust us. We won't do anything to harm you," Rosalie assured her. How sweet.

"For rizzles, Ellen! Have a little faith in the veggie vamps!" Emmett chided. I just nodded while giving him a strange look. Esme looked a bit anxious, but she just assured Ellen we could handle it.

"Okay guys. I just don't want to be a burden," she said softly. She would never be a burden to us.

She then pulled out the device that I had seen in the vision. She set it up, and then she pricked her skin.

The blood hit my nose like a ton of bricks, but the monster inside of me kept at bay.

All of a sudden, Jasper burst into the room. Shit.

Ooooh! What's going to happen? You have to keep reading to find out.
