I ONLY OWN THE OC'S! THANK YOU FOR ALL OF THOSE WHO ARE READING!

There were few members of the Volturi that were going to accompany us to Forks. The people that were going were; Aro, Me, Mikey, my dad, and my two sisters. Aro figured that my dad and I should go because we knew the land about as well as the Cullens. Aro had arranged for our bags to be taken by a small private plane. We would have to swim all the way there. My sisters didn't like the idea, but they soon realized that they would have to get over it if we wanted to get there before tomorrow.

Arrived in Forks, Washington at night

We had somehow swam all the way to the river behind the Cullen's house. As I stepped out of river, the water clung to my clothes making me feel like it was hard to move without making a sound. I tried to ring my shirt of all the water that it was holding. To my dismay, I couldn't get all the water out with my shirt still on.

"Oh Mikey…." I called.

"Yes Lindsey?" He asked sweetly. I batted my eyes at him as nice as I could.

"Could you come over here and block me for a minute?" I asked. He didn't answer, instead he stood in front of me. I had my back towards the river. I thought that Cullens were inside their brightly lit house. That thought was crushed as I went to put my newly dried shirt on. I heard several groans behind me. I turned and saw that the three Cullen boys had been behind me on the other side of the river.

"What the hell, Lindz? What if we were enjoying the view?" Emmett called. Instead of answering him, I started to walk up the sloping lawn, so that I could go inside. I stopped at the top of the small hill. The house looked almost identical to what it had been. I felt an arm snake around my waist.

"You going to be okay?" Mikey whispered in my ear. I looked up at him. His golden eyes were filled with concern. I nodded slowly. We ran up to the porch and walked inside.

"Lindsey! It's so good to have you back in the house!" Esme said as she ran up and hugged me. I'll admit it, it felt good to have Esme hug me again. She has always acted like a mother figure to me.

"Lindsey, sorry to break up the love fest, but the plane has landed and we need to go retrieve our bags…right now." Savannah, my older sister, cut in. I let go of Esme, and turned on my heel towards the door. As I started to walk down the steps leading to the driveway, I felt someone slamming into my side.

"Lindsey Ann! You weren't really going to leave without saying goodbye, were you?" Alice asked as she hugged me by my waist.

"Why not? Bringing back déjà vu`?" I muttered barely above a whisper. I felt her wince away from me. I truly liked the feeling of them all being reminded of what they did to me. They left me here to be ambushed in the middle of the night, with no one to help me.

"Wow, Lindsey, you're seriously mad at us?" Edward asked breaking me from my thoughts. I'll need to seriously control what I think about while I'm within a mile from him. I shrugged Alice off and started to run down the gravel driveway. I made sure that no one was behind me. I couldn't let them see me like this; dry sobs were escaping from my throat. I don't know why I was crying, but I couldn't stop them until I was a block away from the small "runway", where our plane was planned to land.

"About time you got here." Dad muttered without turning to look at me. I glared at his back. He had no right to judge me. He wasn't going through, what I was going through. He didn't have the Cullens on his back. Trying to make him forgive them.

"Lindsey, here's your bags." Savannah said while handing me my bags. I waited for everyone to have their bags before I took off running again. This time, I was going to our house. I asked to have my room, in the new section of the house. I couldn't stand to be in my old room. The new part of the house, was mostly dark colors; reds, blues, dark greens, and black. It was beautiful.

"Do you want me to take your bags to your room?" Mikey asked softly. I didn't realize that he had been behind me. I turned to face him, and saw that his face was full of hurt. I ran my hand through his short hair, while holding one side of his face.

"No thank you. I got it." I answered him softly. He touched my hands with his, and leaned down to kiss me. I turned away, and started up the wrap around stair case. My room was facing the woods behind the house. The North wall had a window sill, large enough for even Emmett to lay down on and still have room to move. I unpacked as fast as I could so I could go hunting. It had been days since, I had gone hunting. I'm sure my eyes were as dark Aro's.

Hunting trip behind the house. In the woods.

I felt fast, as I ran through the woods. Jumping on tree branches; stalking my prey. I grinned as I had captured a running elk. It was taller than me, but I was faster. Not only that but, I was more powerful. When I felt replenished from my thirst, I climbed a tall pine tree. When I was at the top, I realized that this tree was familiar. His tree. The tree he climbed with me on his back.

"I was hoping you would remember…" I voice drawled. Damn him! I turned around to see Edward sitting on a tree right beside me. He was looking at me with a look of curiosity.

"It's kind of hard not to… Only tree I climbed and didn't fall out of." I said looking down at the ground. I smiled remembering the injuries that I had in inquired in Forks. Try to hurt yourself now, Lindsey. It's not possible. You already tried… remember?

I looked back at Edward, he was still looking at me with curiosity.

"I never meant for you to end up like this, Lindsey. I swear, I thought you would have been safe." He whispered quietly. My non-beating heart ached. I knew me being mad at him, was tearing him apart. I yearned to reach out and hold him. I was torn between what I should do to be a good person, and what I should do to keep myself safe from heartache.

"I know. But why? You left me here all alone." I said quietly. I instantly regretted it. What if he thought I was weak? What if he thought that I depended on him? I wasn't weak. I was hurt.

"You're not weak, Lindsey. Quit debating with yourself. I know that you didn't understand my intentions but, please don't hate us. We WERE trying to protect you." He sputtered off quickly. It sounded like he was trying to convince himself more than anyone. I hate losing, but I'll be the good person.

"I'll forgive you all. But we're not anything like we used to be." I said staring straight into his eyes. He nodded and looked down again. He was trying to hide it, but I saw him smile.

What had I gotten myself into?
