Hey! Well, here's chapter 2. Just for clarity Rosalie/Ava (who is the Rosalie mentioned in chapter 1 and NOT Rosalie Hale) will be called Ava from now on. Now, a few of you had questions, so I will now answer them

Q: Do you own Twilight?

A: No.

Q: Can we just read the story now?

A: Yes :)

Chapter 2.

Caleb's punishment lasted until Saturday. Mainly I think it was because Seth wanted to meet Megan, and that was when his little Christmas break started. So at 3:00 Caleb went out to get Megan.

"Hey Abby, will you go get us some pasta at the store?" I asked. We were running low and I wanted to make spaghetti for dinner.

"Sure. Daddy, will you come with me?" she asked sweetly.

"Fine. How can I say no to that?" he smiled, getting up from the table.

I made a short list with a few other things we needed on it and gave her the credit card.

"Make sure she doesn't go crazy," I said to Collin.

"What? Me? Go crazy with a credit card? Never…" Abby joked.

"Riiiiiiiiiiight…" Collin laughed. "C'mon baby, let's go."

They went out to the car and pulled out of the driveway just as Seth and Megan were pulling in.

Megan was just about as pretty as they come, her dark brown hair coming down just past her shoulders in waves. If she wasn't so pale I would have thought there was some Native American in her, and yes, she did appear to be a vampire, it would explain Caleb's change. We had called Jacob and he said Caleb would be fine until we came up after Christmas, and then Caleb could learn more about being a wolf. Seth and I could tell him all we wanted to about it, but he would have to experience being with the pack himself.

As they walked into the door red flags and loud siren alarms suddenly went off in my head. A vampire named Megan? It was far too familiar for comfort. I stayed in the kitchen making myself busy with the dishes, boiling water for the pasta, anything that would keep me in there to keep an eye on Megan.

Megan was a very common name, I convinced myself. There were sure to be at least ten or fifteen vampires with that name in the country, and if I remembered correctly, the mate of Henry Thorton was blonde. Still, I cautiously slipped out of the room for a few minutes to tell Seth that Megan was a vampire. He also shared my concern, and went downstairs to see for himself. Upon closer inspection I found that her eyes were a very dark shade of burgundy, almost dark enough to pass for a brown, showing that she hadn't eaten in a while. I didn't feel comfortable having her in the house, especially with Luke, Ivy, and Shelby around, and with Abby and Collin coming home at any minute. The last thing I wanted was any vampire run-ins.

"Megan," Seth said. "Can we speak with you privately?"

Megan nodded politely and went into the other room with us.

"Megan, we know what you are, and it's nothing against you personally, but we have family visiting and we'd really prefer not to take any chances, so we would really appreciate it if you could go home," Seth said.

"I understand. I could tell right when I came in. Caleb is a new wolf isn't he? He hasn't said anything yet. But I'll ask him to take me home," she said.

We walked back into the kitchen and Megan made some excuse about not feeling well and Caleb went up to go get the car keys from the living room.

Suddenly we heard the backdoor open. Abby and Collin were home. Megan immediately seemed interested and took a deep breath.

"Well Mrs. Clearwater, it seems that we have met before," she said, danger dancing in her eyes. It was then I knew it was her.

"You will go with Caleb, and he will take you home. After that you will not come back to this house. Do you understand?" I growled.

"Alright," she said, a devilish grin coming across her face, "I'll go now, but I assure you, I'll be back…we vampires are very patient when it comes to these things."

"Ready to go Megan?" Caleb asked innocently, walking back into the room, either totally unaware of the incredible tension in the room, or completely ignoring it.

"Yeah," she said, slipping right back into her "not feeling well" act and they walked right past Collin and Abby.

"We got everything on the list and nothing else…are you satisfied?" Abby grinned.

I looked at Seth and he nodded. I took that as meaning I could do whatever I wanted to about the situation. "Actually, we're going to nix the spaghetti tonight. I need you all to repack your bags. We're going on a special trip."

Abby rolled her eyes. "Of course…after we go all the way to the store you decide to nix the pasta and kick us out…" she said sarcastically.

"Shut up, we're not kicking you out," I said. "Everyone is coming. In fact I was just going to pack Caleb a bag. Seth do you want to help Shelby pack?"

"Yeah, I'll go do that," he said warily.

"Okay, I want to leave as soon as Caleb gets back, so pack quickly please!" I said, hurriedly now. A plan of action was forming in my mind, but I was still starting to panic.

"Are we going to La Push?" Seth asked once we were alone.

"It's the only thing I can think of…" I said, hoping he had thought of something better.

"Alright…I'll call mom and Billy, tell them we're coming," Seth said, picking up the phone. He called them, explaining to Jacob, who picked up the phone, what had happened.

"Mom! How long are we going to be gone?" Shelby asked from the top of the stairs.

"I don't know Shelby, just pack enough for a week. We can wash clothes if we need to," I said.

"Are we going somewhere, Mom?" Caleb asked, suddenly popping up behind me.

"Yes, we're going to La Push, I need you to go pack a suitcase."

"Why?" he asked. "I thought we weren't going up until after Christmas."

"Something's come up," I said vaguely as Luke walked through the room. "We'll talk about it later, now go pack."

"Fine," Caleb sighed taking out his cell phone.

"What are you doing?"

"Well I have to tell Megan we can't meet tomorrow because of this surprise trip…"

"Give me that," I said.

"Why? What did I do this time?" he complained.

"It's nothing you did. I know this seems unfair, but it'll make more sense later. I'll explain once we get to La Push so the faster you're ready the faster you get your phone back," I said, putting the phone in my pocket after he handed it over and stormed up to his room.

I sighed. At least this way Megan wouldn't know where we were. She would probably guess in a day or two, but at least she wouldn't be flat out told. I went upstairs and started packing myself, getting rid of some of my anxiety by packing as quickly as possible.

"Kelsey?" I looked up from my work to see Abby, standing in the doorway.

I tried to smile.

"Is everything okay?" she asked, her eyes full of concern. "You were fine when we left, but now you just seem really upset; I'm starting to worry."

"Yeah, everything's fine, nothing you need to worry about," I lied, again attempting to smile.

"Hmmm…for some strange reason, I don't believe you," she said, stepping into the room and sitting down on the bed.

"Well, there's nothing else I can tell you," I shrugged.

"Fine then, be all mysterious, I'll find out one way or another," she said mischievously.

"Not if I have anything to say about it," I chuckled, pretending it was just some lighthearted matter.

"Mommy!" we heard Ivy shouting across the house.

"We'll see, this isn't over yet," she grinned, "but really, if something's wrong tell me. I just want to know, okay?" she said seriously, and then left to see what Ivy wanted.

Soon, although it would never be soon enough for me, we were all packed up and piling into the car. There were just enough seats for everyone to fit in the SUV.

"Daddy, will you give me my book please?" Ivy asked from the very back row of seats, in between Caleb and Shelby to keep them from fighting.

"Sure thing Ivy," he said passing the book back.

I didn't get to see it, but I knew it was likely meant for a second grader.

"Is she really reading that already?" Collin asked, sounding impressed.

"Yeah, I think that mostly she likes to look at the pictures, but I'm pretty sure she reads the words too, she can always tell me what the book's about when I ask her," Abby said.

We all knew Ivy was extremely smart for her age; she always had been, earning her the nickname Ivy League. They tried to be modest about it, but you could tell Abby and Luke were proud.

On the other hand, my idiot son's phone vibrated in my pocket for the fifth time. In the privacy of the passenger seat I pulled it out and read the messages. I was aware that this was a total invasion of privacy, but considering I was his mother and it was a life or death situation, I could forgive myself. All five text messages were from Megan. They said: "What time r we meeting tmrw?" "Idk if you got the last 1. What time r we meeting tmrw?" "R u rly not getting these?" "Caleb, what's up w/u not responding 2 my txts?" and "W/e…Ill just come 2 ur house tmrw. C u then."

I had to chuckle at the dark humor in the last one. She would come, but no one would be there. Though that would simply increase her desire to hunt us down, it would have been fun to see her reaction. I was pretty sure Caleb liked Megan to some extent, but I could tell that since she found out he was a wolf she had been using him. After all, how many packs of Shapeshifter wolves were there in the world? Even if she hadn't gotten the close connection, it would have been easy to track us down from any wolf.

About halfway there, all the kids either had to go to the bathroom, or were complaining about how hungry they were, so Seth had to pull over at the nearest gas station.

I looked at my cell phone. As much as I would hate to, I'd have to tell Ava. She'd kill me if I left her in the dark about her own daughter, but I felt horrible about her coming into it. She hadn't seen any of us in person except for Seth and me since our wedding 21 years ago. Abby was 9, Collin was 37, and none of the kids were born.

I flipped it over and over in my hands. This would probably be the last chance I got to call her in private before tomorrow or late tonight, I had to do it. "Actually I have to go to the bathroom too…" I said absent mindedly to Luke and Collin before getting out of the car. I walked to the side of the building as if I were going to the restroom, but kept going until I was at the back of the station. I slowly dialed the number, making sure it was right. South America was definitely not in my calling range, so we'd have to make it very short.

"Hi! This is Ava. Obviously I can't come to the phone or I would have answered it, but please leave a message and I'll get back to you whenever I get it." Well that made it easier.

"Hi, this is Kelsey. Um…well, we're on our way up to La Push there's kind of an emergency and I know you're in South America and everything, but at least call me back. I'd explain now, but I don't have that many minutes, just think about what I told you Thursday…"

"Kelsey what are you doing behind the gas station! Seth is going to leave without you if you don't come on!" Abby called.

"Sorry, I've got to go. Just call me back. Thanks, bye." I mumbled before hanging up.

"Oh, sorry Kelsey, I didn't realize you were on the phone," Abby apologized. "Who were you talking to?"

"You wouldn't know her, and it's fine, that was just her voicemail."

We went back to the car and rode the remaining way to Forks. Once Abby began to recognize the scenery she started to question why we were going to La Push, and I couldn't give her a good answer.

"For the last time, why are we here Kelsey?" Abby asked impatiently as we walked up to the door.

"You'll see…" I said, hoping that once we had been here a while she would make up her own explanation to which I would agree to.

"Kelsey, Seth?" Ellie asked, answering the door. "What are you doing here?"

"We came to 'visit' you guys. Caleb has been especially eager to come up here," I said, hoping Jacob had told her about that.

"Oh! Okay! Well come on in. Billy and Jacob are somewhere in the back and Sue's in the kitchen. Are you going to be staying long?"

"Yeah, we'll probably be up here for Christmas," I said casually, "we'll have to catch up some time later."

"Okay, umm…so I don't think anyone else is coming in, so there's two bedrooms. I guess I'll let you split them among yourselves. Also, Rachel's kids are sharing the big bedroom, so if the kids want to room with them I'm sure it's fine."

"Of course it's fine!" Sue said, coming into the living room and greeting everyone in her usual fashion which included hugs, kisses, and comments on how much you've grown since she last saw you if you were a child when she last saw you. While Seth, the kids, and I knew about this, even enjoyed it at times, Abby, Collin, Luke, and Ivy, who although had met Seth's family several times, hadn't quite gotten used to Sue's overly warm demeanor.

The first room was Seth's old room with barely enough space for the bed, much less people. The other one, as well as the one the kids were staying in, had been added on once Jacob's maintenance business had taken off, and were more spacious. We finally decided that Seth and I would take his room since it was hardly big enough for one person and there was only two of us, while Collin, Abby, Luke would take the bigger room. Ivy, who had been hiding behind Abby since Sue had made a big fuss over her because she had never seen Ivy before, was, for now, going to stay with Abby and Luke because of her shyness.

Britta, Kenley, and Lena, Ellie's daughters, helped us bring in our stuff. Kenley offered to show Abby, Luke, Ivy, and Collin around and Shelby tagged along, leaving a good opportunity for Seth, Caleb, and I talked to Britta and Channing about the pack.

"I'll go get Koda," Channing said, turning around to leave the packed bedroom.

"Why?" Britta asked. "We all know he's not the Alpha."

"So, he's Beta. That counts for something," Channing argued.

"Oh stop worshipping him! If you want to get someone go get Leah!" Britta said, pushing him away. "Sorry about that, things have been a little disorganized since Koda found out he wasn't going to be Alpha. He's such a baby."

I nodded. I remembered Ava and Ellie both telling me something about Jacob choosing Leah as the new Alpha over his own son. It made sense, Leah had more experience and she was Jacob's Beta.

"Hey you guys!" Leah laughed when she walked in the door. She looked like she would be Caleb's older sister, not Seth's. We had told Caleb and Shelby that Leah was actually Seth's younger sister. "Welcome to the pack Caleb!"

"Did Jacob tell you about…?" I started.
"Yeah, it sounds like even more of a piece of cake than last time. Gosh Caleb, you're just like your mom, bringing us all these baby fights. One vampire? Psh, if you're going to drag in the vampires you may as well give us a challenge. Most of the pack has never fought a vampire."

"What?" Caleb asked confusedly.

"Your friend Megan…the sadistic vampire…who's out to kill your aunt?" Leah hinted.
"No…that can't be true! She's so nice!" Caleb exclaimed.

"You haven't tell him yet, did you?" Leah asked.
Seth and I shook our heads.

"So what are you saying?" Caleb asked.

"When I was a little younger than you, Abby and I were attacked by a vampire, Henry, and that was when I first changed. We came here because he was still after us, which is where your father and I met. Anyways, eventually Henry and his family found us and we killed him. Megan was his girlfriend. All she wants is revenge, Caleb, she even told me herself," I explained.

"NO! That's not true! It's just not true!" Caleb shouted.
"Caleb it's true. Vampires can be very vicious when it comes to avenging their mates. I once met one who created an entire army of newborn vampires to get her revenge," Leah added.

"You're all lying to me! Megan would never do anything like that! You're just saying that because she's a vampire and I'm a wolf! It's not like we can't be friends!" he howled.

"Caleb, calm down, the whole house can hear you," Seth said.

"No! I won't stand for you lying about her!" He pounded his fist against the wall.

Leah opened the window, "Caleb, go for a run," she said. Caleb hopped out the window and changed into this wolf form before he could think to take off his clothes. Leah gave us an encouraging look and went after him.

"Overreaction much?" I sighed, letting myself fall on the bed and slump over onto Seth's shoulder.

"Don't worry about it. She was his friend before; remember how he talked about her? And now we're telling him she wants to kill Abby. He'll be fine, Leah will straighten him out," he said softly.

"I couldn't think of anything else to do. There was probably some other way…" I fretted. I shouldn't have involved Caleb in this, but what else could I do? I didn't have the time, resources, or power to kidnap them, or even just Abby, and run away to Mexico or something. There was no running. Just like last time I'd have to face this head on.

Well, I will be posting very soon. Chapter 3 will be in Caleb's POV...yay! Well, thanks for reading!
