The babies were now eighteen months and full of life I was settling the boys down for a nap when it happened. Sam was at work and everyone else had gone to the beach, I had decided to have a nice relaxing day for me and the kids. I had just put Patch into his cot and had Layla cuddling to my side the others had just been put in bed when I heard a door slam open. A wild wind raced through the house it couldn't have been Sam, it was half an hour early for it to be him. My thoughts went back to the letters, it was today, and when everyone was away they had decided to strike.

I shut the door and reached for my phone to try and give Sam a text when I saw the silver door knob turn slowly. I froze. I didn't know what to do I looked around for anything that could help me but to no avail. All I could do was stare at the door, as it slowly, opened. I braced myself for everything but what walked through the door.

I knew the creature instantly. She flaming red hair, deep crimson eyes, extremely pale skin – Victoria. I always thought she was after Bella and then had given up when she saw, Bella had moved on from Edward. "Hello Emily," she said in her child-like voice "How are you and your children?" she drawled giving me a smile that told every instinct in my body tell me to take the children and run but I needed to stall her so Sam could see her. "Yes thank you Victoria I am my children are fine," I said stiffly "I am I right to presume it has been you who were sending the letters?" I needed to know
"Clever girl, you're not just an ugly scarred Quileute you have brains," she took a step towards us but I held my ground "You made a wise decision to stay silent about your obvious concerns and to stay right where you were. May I?" she asked holding her arms out for Layla who wrinkled her nose at Victoria before screaming at the top of her voice
"NO! VAMPIRE !" Victoria just gave a harsh laugh
"I see this one already knows about me. But I'm guessing the others don't so I'll just hold one of them instead," then she roughly pushed me aside and picked up Patch who started yelling until Victoria covered his mouth with her hand. "They are noisy; tut tut Emily I really thought they would be much better behaved towards others after all you should have raised them to understand respect." She said slowly giving me a death glare this just made me angry
"Maybe they just know not to trust you Victoria. What are you doing in my house while we are talking about me?" I demanded she just looked from Patch to me
"I am here because I want your babies for my own to raise them and train them to fight for me when I want them to and how I want them to but I'm only telling you this because I'm going to kill you now, you have always in the way of my plans so to make sure you aren't again this is the last time you will see me. You've lived for too long getting in my way and I kill all those in my way," She put Patch down as Layla shimmied down my leg to get to her brothers this only made the ice queen smile "You see even your children know you're a lost cause and have left you."
"They know where it is safe and will not go with a sour faced bitch like you!" I said in a raised voice my temper now showing. I was not afraid of her. "What I want to know is what gives YOU the right to burst into my house touch MY children then say that they are YOURS and that I am just in the way so you can kill ME?" I yelled in her face, the smile left her eyes darkened colour and her face radiated hate all she said very calmly "Goodbye Emily." She stalked towards me like a tiger towards it's' prey but I didn't fear her. I accepted I was going to die; I had been here before when Sam had lost his temper and scarred me so I just shut my eyes and took a deep breath.

Then I heard four ripping noise and a shriek of terror before an ear splitting scream I opened my eyes and could not believe what I saw...
