A/N: Well here we go with Chapter 2. In this chapter we touch base with Emmett and some of the thoughts and memories that he has of his human life. He shows some of his playfulness and normal Emmett behavior in this, so the slight OOC with Emmett is going to start not being there.

Thanks to all the folks that have reviewed, added to favorites, and put me on story alert. You guys are awesome!

Thanks to the betas at Project Team Beta, you guys rock and you know it : ) I couldn't do this without you.

Chapter 2 - Emmett POV

I'd never run from anything in my entire existence. I kept battling internally with myself while I continued to move through the forest, I had so much to process after my family found out that I had a twin sister and even more with the addition of Alice's visions. I kept thinking about my last thoughts as I fled from the house. My head kept screaming at me to get out, but now that I was out I had no clue what I was going to do.

The more I thought about it, I now had an idea of how Edward felt the first day that he met Bella. Although my situation was on a totally different level; I understood now what he went through. I was brooding, running away and so hard to be around at this moment. I had given Eddie so much grief back then over the way that he handled the situation and now I felt really bad about it. I laughed as I thought, 'Oh great, now Eddie-boy has something on me that I will never live down.'

After I finished my inner musings, my feet carried me in a different direction than I was originally heading. I remembered the area vaguely, although I hadn't been here since the day that I had left to go hunting all those years ago.

There were so many thoughts that were going through my head at that moment. The one that plagued me the most was something that I couldn't quite grasp. I was usually good at understanding things, whether anyone wanted to admit it or not. Plain and simple, my sister was a vampire. I stopped for a moment and thought for a moment, 'Holy shizznit, my sister is a vampire,' I thought. I continued running again, a grin plastered on my face.

After a while I realized that I had followed a remote trail in the woods. The sights and smells of the area surrounding me started to seem much more familiar. The memories were really hazy, but I was able to remember them more. I lost myself in thought, recalling the memory of the day I last saw my sister.

Flashback - spring 1935

I was packing my things to prepare for my weekend hunting trip. Emily was in the kitchen, preparing a few things to take with me to eat. After our parents passed, she had really stepped up to the plate in the role of 'woman of the house.' I was so lucky to have a sister like her.

"Emmett!" Emily called out.

"Yeah, Sis?"

"Are you planning on leaving anytime soon? Because if you don't, you won't get to where you are going before nightfall."

I couldn't help but laugh. She was always riding me for something. I wouldn't have it any other way. She kept me in line, and she knew it, too.

I walked into the kitchen with my hunting gear in tow, setting my rucksack down quietly. I stalked behind her and grabbed her sides. Next thing I knew Emily was throwing her arms around, thrashing and punching. She got one good hit on my upper arm; it hurt. I would hate to see someone actually mess with her; believe me she would hurt someone.

"Owww, Sis!"

"Emmett McCarty, I swear to God, if you don't stop doing that I am going to hurt you one of these days."

"You keep saying that, and up until now I didn't believe you. You actually got a good hit in," I said rubbing my arm, where the punch landed.

She laughed and wrapped her arms around me in a tight hug.

"You know I'm going to miss you while you are gone on your trip, right?"

"Yeah, I know. I'm going to miss you, more then you know. I know it hasn't been the same since Mom and Dad died. Thank you for sticking around to keep me out of trouble. We both know that I needed it."

"Oh, you could say that. Plus, it wouldn't be the same without me and you know it. However, I wish that you would find some girl to take you off my hands. It would make my life so much easier," she said in a teasing, yet somewhat serious tone.

I knew that she was teasing me in a way. That was how she and I worked. She would tease me just as much as I would tease her. It was your typical twin relationship. She was the only one that got the real me, inside and out. We could finish each other's sentences, which sometimes caused a lot of folks to look at us weirdly. She hugged me again; this time her hug was urgent like, she was upset.

"Hey Emmy, what's wrong? That hug you're giving me is really starting to bug me."

"It's nothing, Emmett. Can't I just hug my brother that I won't see for the next two days?"

I broke away from the hug and looked at her, her eyes told me something different than what she was saying aloud.

"Bull, Emily! I can see it in your eyes that something is bothering you. Come on, tell me what's wrong."

"Em, I have this strange feeling that you aren't going to come home. I don't know why, but it's something that I can't shake. I don't want anything to happen to you. You are the only one that I have left. I don't know if I could take it if I lost you."

I looked into her eyes; it broke my heart to see her like this.

"Hey, don't worry, Sis. I will be back in no time. If you want, I can come back tomorrow. I don't have to stay the whole weekend, you know."

"Could you, please? I know I sound crazy, but I just don't have a good feeling about this trip."

I hugged her close; I could never deny my sister anything.

"You got it, kiddo. I'll just go to my spot close to the house. If I bag anything today then I will be home tonight. If not, then I will be home about midday tomorrow. How's that sound?"

She smiled at me and nodded her head, handing me the food that she had made for me. I took it and put it in my sack on the floor. I rose and hugged her close, giving her a kiss on the top of her head. It hurt me to see her so upset. If she had asked me not to go, I surely would have stayed. She didn't, so I grabbed my sack and slung it over my shoulder. I walked over to the fireplace and grabbed my gun. I turned back to her.

"I love you Little Sis," I boomed.

"I love you too, you big goof!" she shouted at me, half laughing.

I walked out into the crisp, spring morning and started making my way to my hunting spot. I knew that it would take me a few hours to get there, but if it would ease her mind to stay close, then I would do it. Emily was all that I had left.

End Flashback

I slowed down to a walk after reliving the memory of that day. I realized in that moment that Emily had known that I would never return that day. Even though I had Rose now, it didn't stop me from feeling the overwhelming guilt that I had for not listening to her. The overwhelming guilt was almost intolerable. I felt as thought I was going to get sick. I kept pushing forward, trying to keep focused on my surroundings.

A few things happened at once. One minute I was walking through the thick forest, and then I came to a complete stop. I tried to move my feet, but they wouldn't. My mind knew where I was, even if my body hadn't realized it yet. I took a deep breath, the scent of where I was assaulting me, almost bringing me to my knees. I held onto the nearest tree to support myself.

I was home.

End A/N:

So now we know a little about how Emmett was feeling after he left the house. Next chapter will be all in Emily's POV and there will be a decent amount of her history divulged. There will be another slow chapter after that one and then it picks up in full swing.

I am hoping that I will be able to update this once a week. I don't know which day I will update, as it will depend on when I get it back from my betas.

Thanks to those that have reviewed. I would have review replied more but most of the time was having some issues.

As always… BIG thanks to all the wonderful folks at Project Team Beta. You guys rock! I couldn't do this without you.

Again, please review! The reviews are what keep me motivated to write and it means juicy outtakes!
