Hey Guys. (:
So like I said, I have all the main chapters planned out, but am stuck getting there. So if these chapters suck, just bear with me. It get better, I promise! Review please? I'll love you forever. Sorry about not updating, if you don't already know, there's flooding and fires here in Australia. Phones and internet were down for a little while and random power outs. It's crazy. So yeah, sorry.
Beta: My potato SparklyWarlock! You're amazing. :3

I was relieved when Edward seemed to hold his tongue after the whole 'he's coming for us' thing. His questioning really pissed me off. If I wanted him to know something, I'd just tell him. It wasn't until later the next night, after we had gotten back from him showing me 'how a real vampire hunts' and me proceeding to kick his ass, that he decided to ask questions. The girls and Emmet all sat on the couch watching a movie. Correction, Emmet sat on the couch while the girls squeezed into the minimal space between him, and the couch. Emmet was clutching Madi as if she were a giant teddy bear, staring at the screen wide eyed. It was a sight to see, I tell you.
"What are they watching? The Notebook?" Edward snorted.
There was a huge explosion followed by a very loud;
"HULK SMASH!" From Paige.
"No you sexist pig, they are watching The Avengers." I snapped.
Edward held his hands up in defence. He kept them up until he was settled into a chair at the dining table. He gestured to the chair beside him and I raised my eyebrows.
"I'll stand." I said.
"Why is Gabriel 'coming for you'? he asked.
"Wow, you don't waste time. He thinks Anna is his mate." I sighed and took a seat, on the opposite side of the table.
He rolled his eyes before continuing; "So she's not his mate?"
I shook my head and looked down at the table, following the grain with my finger.
"So really, he's only after Anna?" He probed.
"No, we helped her get out. We took her, he wants her, and wants to kill us." I shrugged.
"Well that's just great. Who is he though?" He moved a seat closer to me.
"He's the other vampire who really understands our power. What makes us vampires, some believe that he is the first." I looked up to see his questioning gaze and sighed. "He turned Paige, that's how he knows of us."
How old is he?" He moved a seat again.
"Dates back to the Inkers, maybe before then. Nobody really knows." I shrugged again, moving a seat away from him.
"So because he's the oldest, he'd be the strongest?" He raised a brow.
"Not necessarily, we're only as strong as the mind allows. He understands his power, but in doing so, he restricts it. He assumes he can do it, he doesn't believe it, or think it, which is really the source of the power. Is this even making sense?" I asked.
"It's like Green Lantern and his ring." Madi called out.
"Who and the what now?" He called back.
I heard the girls all gasp, and could practically see the looks of horror on their faces.
"You have got to be kidding me!" Emma bellowed.
"You don't know who the Green Lantern is?" yelled.
"Hey Bella?" Paige called out.
"Yeah?" I asked.
"Smash." And with one last look from Madi they returned to the movie.
"All talks of a green lantern aside, I got you so far." Edward looked back at me.
"THE Green Lantern. It's a superhero Eddie you twat." Emmet called.
"Don't call me Eddie. So if he's not the strongest, why are you running from him?" Edward questioned.
"Because, we don't know how strong he is, and we've watched Vampire Diaries. In the show, if you killed the original vampire than anyone that was of his blood line, so to speak, would die along with him. Which means Paige would die, and then me, Anna and Emma." I answered.
"Why would you die, he didn't 'turn' you did he? And what does Vampire Diaries have to do with it?" He had moved so he was next to me now.
"Paige turned us, we're of her bloodline and she's of his. Because after that episode it made us wonder if that would happen to us. There's enough doubt in our head for it to affect us and we don't know if he is the original vampire." I sighed.
"So what you're saying is that after watching some stupid T.V show, it made you think that if the original vampire were killed, those of his bloodline would die to? Namely you? Can't you just think that it's all a load of crap and kill him?"
"It doesn't work that way, if Gabriel dies, we might die. There's doubt, doubt cancels out whatever power we had on the issue completely."
"Unless you get rid of the doubt." He stated and I shrugged in return.
There was a loud squeal and Alice ran past us into the kitchen where Esme had been standing, cooking us some food. I thought it was strange that they had a kitchen, despite the fact that the Cullen's can't eat, but Esme insisted on it. She also insisted on cooking the girls and I food all the time, taking advantage of the fact that we could eat. She said she liked to cook when she was human and that she was happy to be able to do it again. Alice disappeared out the sliding door that stood behind the kitchen as I walked in.
"What are you cooking Esme?" I asked.
"Oh I'm cooking Italian, I hope you like Italian." Esme replied.
"Esme." Christian seemed to reprimand her, where had he come from anyway?
"Oh, um, I've already eaten." My head whipped around to find Stephanie standing in the doorway.
Her eyes met mine before flickering away to something else. Esme's smile faded and then quickly brightened again. Emmet, who was had moved from the couch to help Esme cook looked up, a smile hiding his shock. Carlisle stood behind his wife and smiled as well. Rosalie, not exactly a people person, crushed the bowl of salad in her hand.
"What is she doing here?" Rosalie growled.
"Come on babe." Emmet tried soothing his mate.
'We should go, leave them to it. Meet up at our house.' Madi said, her voice echoing through my head.
I nodded, despite her not being able to see me and moved to our house.
"I thought you said that wouldn't happen for a little while." I said as I walked through the door.
"It wasn't supposed to, the books apparently don't follow specific time. Like they're supposed to." Madi frowned.
"So what does that mean?" Emma asked.
"We need the doctor, and his sexy bow ties." Anna sighed.
"It means that Gabriel could be finding us a lot sooner than we originally thought." Paige answered.
"Do we run again? I'm tired of running." Madi looked up at me.
No, no more running. This time we fight." I nodded my head, as if to convince myself.
"We have no idea what is coming for us." Anna whispered.
"We'll make it, we always do." I said firmly.
The girls looked at each other and I couldn't help wondering, would we survive this time around?
Um, yeah. That's all I really have to say on this chapter. With the internet down there's no Tumblr, Twitter, Facebook or other Fanfiction to distract me, so I've done a couple chapters. I'll get them up as soon as possible. I'm writing another fic, it's with all the same characters, and some new, but it's after all this happens. Well after what is to happen has happened, if that makes sense. I definitely like it better than this one though. A big thanks to my Beta SparklyWarlock, you're the best.
Reciews would be awesome and I thank all of you who are still with me. You put a big cheesy smile on my face. (:
Love,
~Ashleey Grey.
