Due to high request and to refresh the memories (of both you AND me), I have added synopsis's of both of the previous stories, this will also clear up any confusion (hopefully) to those people who don't feel like reading the others! There are parts of my stories that I added in so you can get a feeling of the situations and characters I hope I do them justice…
Warning- this is a very detailed synopsis

· Cassie has another vivid dream …
The dream I was sitting in a small clearing next to a creek. There was sun filtering through the trees overhead.
Rory was standing next to Damien. The rest of his family was a few feet back. Rory sat down next to me.
"I love you." He told me. Without thinking I replied back.
"I love you too."
"Are you sure?" he asked me.
"Yes, are you?"
"Yes, which is why I'm nervous about doing this."
"I'm not nervous, this is what I want." I told him. My dream was unfolding in front of me. I couldn't stop myself from saying anything or doing anything. I was watching it happen and I couldn't change it, but I was watching it through my own eyes.
He leaned towards me and kissed me between my neck and jaw bone. It felt wonderful. Until the pain erupted where his lips were I woke up.
· The next morning Cassie wakes up
· Cassie slept over at Rory's one of his siblings called to tell her mom about everything that happened
· While freshening up the next morning Cassie starts to ask herself a lot of questions about Rory and how he had changed/ how he was different (eye color, strength, etc)
· Cassie and Rory go outside to the rain, Cassie tells Rory that she wants to go out with Rory.
· Afterwards Cassie goes home, he mother babies her about how she was held at gunpoint
· Jill (one of Rory's siblings) comes to sleep over. Cassie makes a list of unusual things about her.
· The next morning Cassie spends the day with Rory, they go down to a creek in a setting that looks spookily like the one in her dream.
· Cassie puts her head on Rory's chest and realizes that he doesn't have a heartbeat
Aside from the birds chirping, the flowing of the river, and the wind ion the tree's a sound was missing. As recognition swam to the surface of my mind I shot bolt upright.
"You don't have a heartbeat." I said. It wasn't that it was just quiet, it was that his heart wasn't pumping.
He didn't say anything, but looked down abashed.
"Would you care to elaborate to me on how you are different?"
"I can't."
"Yes you can."
"No I can't, not unless you want to end up dead, and I certainly don't want that." He said taking a stern tone.
"Would you kill me?" my voice didn't reveal the panic I felt, but my heart was far past a healthy speed.
"No, I would protect you as best I could. I just wouldn't stand a chance."
"Why don't you think you can be my hero?" I said tauntingly trying to lighten the mood.
"Because it's not in my nature to save humans." The mood wasn't lighter in the least.
"Save humans? So you're not human?"
He didn't answer but I knew I was correct.
"So you don't save them, does that mean you're dangerous?"
"Yes."
"So what are you?" I asked searching my brain for all the creatures from any horror movie I had ever seen. "A were wolf, ghost, warlock, vampire?" I said again joking.
"Yes definitely one of those." He said sarcastically, but there was an edge to his voice.
"Please just tell me, it couldn't ever change the way I feel about you." That was the conclusion of our conversation.
· Afterwards Rory asks Cassie to the homecoming dance
· At the end of the dance Rory and Cassie go to a party
· She tells him she loves him, he tells her he is a vampire
Without thinking I blurted out.
"I love you." I had a short pause. "It's okay if you don't love me, I just wanted you to know how I felt about you."
He nuzzled his lips to the spot right behind my ear "I love you too." He said, my heart fluttered. He took a long pause. I waited patiently.
"I'm a vampire." He whispered.
· Cassie goes to kiss Rory, but is interrupted by the voice of Kirsten
What? No 'I'm so sorry, I'd never do anything to hurt you'." Sneered a disgustingly familiar voice. I stopped, or tried to. Rory was still dragging me towards the door. I tried to pry my hand from his grip but he didn't let go. Did he not realize?
"Rory stop." I whispered ever so silently. He did. He let go of my hand, and I turned to face the girl.
I had never known anyone as manipulative as her. She could make someone do anything she wanted; make someone sneak out of their room, get the attention of everyone, even get someone to buy a bar of chocolate.
"No groveling for forgiveness? No, 'I'm sorry, I'm so sorry'." Kirsten mocked, her voice dripping with venom.
As the saying goes, the gloves were off now, I didn't care if I hurt her feelings.
"No, because I'm not sorry. I'm not sorry it happened or that you saw. The only thing I am sorry for is that you are such a lying, hypocritical, fake bitch." With that I turned on my heel grabbed Rory's hand and walked as fast as I could out of there. I squeezed Rory's hand to move faster. I was afraid that she might come running after me.
· Rory brings Cassie back to his house and explains all about how he worries for her safety and all about what vampire are like
· Rory admits that he almost bit her that first time when he kissed her and the kiss was to cover up for how close he was.
· Rory brings Cassie home, Cassie tells her mom that she and Rory are dating. When she returns to her room, Rory is there waiting
· That night Cassie has a dream about Kirsten dying
The brisk air outside was causing me to huddle against Rory, not that he was giving off any heat. We were on a ferries wheel. We were descending from the top. Our cart was facing the forest. I knew where we were, it was the annual Halloween carnival.
I saw some type of vulture circling over the trees. It was nearly dusk and the last glimmers of orange sunlight were reflecting off the clouds. The changing horizon was horridly moving us into darkness.
Rory went stiff next to me. I shifted to look at him. He was staring at the guy ruining the ride then his eyes flicked to the woods.
"Hurry up, hurry." Rory was whispering to himself. I could feel his urgency to this unknown situation. "Hurry."
We were nearing where we got off of the ride but the guy stopped it so that the people near the top could enjoy where they were. Our cart was swinging from the stop. I grabbed it to steady myself.
Then silence cut through everyone at the carnival. Everyone was listening to the screams that were echoing from the forest next to us. They sounded like they were struggling, writhing in pain. It reminded me of when Rory had broken up with Kirsten, she had been so angry that she screamed like that. But her scream was of fury this scream was from pain, I could tell. Then I realized why it reminded me of Kirsten.
I was 99 percent sure it was her.

· Cassie starts to have another vivid dream
For the first time I wasn't in my dream. It was like I was watching some sort of movie. I couldn't make any noise. I couldn't see myself when I held my hand in front of my face. It was strange. I moved my gaze to the scene unfolding in front of me. There was a man walking down a cobblestone street at night. I couldn't tell who it was because they had their back to me.
Down the street was an alleyway and beyond that was a large stone castle like building. I looked at the rest of my surroundings. It seemed as if we were in a valley, there were hills around this small town. I looked up at a clock tower in the corner, but couldn't make out the time.
The sound of water made my head turn and I could see a fountain in the middle of a square.
The man turned down to the alley way. I tried to move but I couldn't. Luckily for me he took a couple steps backwards. Another person came into view. It was a small girl, thin and she looked as though a gust of wind would blow her away. I still couldn't see the man's face though. This girl obviously held some type of authority.
She advanced on him a murderous look on her face and I felt a feeling of true fear run from my neck to my toes.
"I don't care who she is, you need to do something about It." she said.
"I can't just do that. You don't understand." He said, his voice reminded me of someone but I couldn't out my finger on it.
"Well then, your only other choice would be to change her."
"no." he said resolutely.
· Soon after, an article comes out in the paper about Kirsten's death, due to an animal attack, though the Haven's have told her he truth that it was a vampire
· Cassie has a short but important dream
I could see myself sitting in the library. It was raining outside. My face looked awestruck and scared. I was hyperventilating. Over head the bell rang obnoxiously loud.
· The following day, Cassie has to go to a doctors appointment
· When she gets back she goes to the library to study for a test
· During that she is interrupted
"Were you and Kirsten friends?" a melodic female voice asked from across the table. I guessed she had seen the picture on the front of my binder.
"Yes." I answered without looking up.
"It's so sad what happened to her, don't you think?" the beautiful voice asked.
I sighed "yes."
"Did you really even care about her??" the voice had become harsh. I looked up taken aback.
I was met by the face of Kirsten, her glowing blue eyes burning into my soul.
"Wha …what are you doing here?" I asked trying to keep my cool.
"Oh, I was just in town." She said mockingly. "What do you think Cassie? What have you gotten stupid since I left?" I leaned forward and whispered my words.
"You are supposed to be dead." The last word sent a chill down my spine.
"Oh yes, I guess I forgot about that. Well I should hurry along then before anyone sees me. " She sighed; her breath had those same luxurious undertones as the way Rory smelled. I was slowly piecing things together. Kirsten was a vampire. She stood and swiftly and walked over to the fire alarm. I didn't want her to go. I needed to talk to her, my face showed it. "Don't worry Cassie, you'll see me again, before…" her words drifted off into nothingness.
"Before what?" I asked a sense of unease filling my stomach.
"Before, how do I say this politely?" She pondered. "Before you are 'tragically taken'" she said quoting the article I had read about her death. My face paled. Kirsten pulled the alarm it rang obnoxiously loud. I saw people moving in the hallway. I turned to see her inconspicuously slip out the door.
I was sitting in the library, the sky an overcast gray, the buzzing continued, though almost everyone had filtered out of the building. My face pale and scared, I shook my head and grabbed my stuff. I walked as fast as I could without falling. My knees were weak, they felt like Jell-O.

"If you really loved me you would want to be with me forever and your love would make you forget about all of that other stuff." I said quietly. "Too bad you don't" I said taking a step back.
"Cassie?" he said confused.
"I would rather start getting over this failed relationship now, I' mean, I now it's going to take a long time. I might not ever get over it." I said taking another step back. "So I think since this isn't going anywhere we should just stop." I said my voice cracking and the tears starting. "Just so you know though, I will always love you." I said taking another step back. "Goodbye" I said turning around.
I started to walk away but heard his plea.
"Please don't" he said, and I broke into a sprint back home. I knew that if he wanted he could catch me, but he didn't.
THE END
Synopsis of-Say You Love Me
( I'm going to try and make this one more brief, I'm also only going to use the alternate ending seeing as that is all we need for the purpose of this story)
· It starts out at the end of summer, Cassie has stayed away from Rory, but he keeps trying to talk to her
· Her doorbell rings, she answers it and there Is a present on the ground
· It is from Rory, it is a bracelet for her birthday, she tosses it into her room
So I started this hella long ago and now am too lazy to give a detailed synopsis, so I will make it brief.
Cassie goes to move in with her dad in volterra, she misses Rory but makes friends eventually ending up dating one of them. The volturi and Cassie's dad figure out she knows about vampires but keep her around for a while. Rory and his family show up. After a lot of going back and forth the volturi decide that something needs to be done to Cassie (being changed) Rory tells her that he can't let that happen so they run away. It turns out that Cassie is the reincarnation of all of the souls/spirits of those who had died at the hands of vampires and therefore, by fate, she will eventually have the same future. The volturi catch up with them, try to change Cassie, but instead of it working it counteracts with her blood and kills her.
Tada!!!
