A flower without her water will die and water with nothing to nourish anything will become old and no longer retain its nutrients until a new flower comes along and helps bring back what water had missed dearly, a flower to nourish a flower to love and care for.


When Raine wakes up they are finally in Italy. Raine yawns, knowing all too well that her family won't be too happy when she shows up with her 'one person' but it wasn't like they would do anything, right? When she walks out with Jasper with her side, Raine scans the airport for anyone familiar.

"Miss Vertolli," says a man, walking up to her suddenly.

Raine looks at the man and a light blush creeps up her face. "Hello Lorenzo, nice to finally meet you once again." Raine's voice is dreamy and she does not acknowledge that Jasper, who is there beside her, feeling disgusted.

"So who is your 'friend'," asks Lorenzo, in English so Raine's 'friend' could understand.

Raine snaps out of her daze and smiles. "Don't be jealous Lorenzo. His name is Jasper and me and him are together."

Lorenzo tuts softly, "You know Lady Vertolli will not be pleased with you bringing an American boy."

"And your point I never listened to what my grandmother said. Why do you expect me to do it now," asks Raine as she goes out of the airport to the awaiting limo.

When she gets in Jasper follows, though he knows that Raine is annoyed, he is not sure why she is so annoyed. Raine looks out the window, boredly as she tries not to think about her grandmother's reaction to Jasper being there.

They finally come to a halt when a manor comes into view.

"Vertolli Manor," says Raine to amazed Jasper.

"Hmm," he responds as Raine exits the limo then he exits after her.

Raine walks up the many steps until she meets up with an elderly lady.

"Nonna," she says, kissing the elderly woman's hand, "would you like to meet my guest."

"Ah, of course I would like to meet your guest," says the woman, her voice like silk.

Jasper is then prompted by Raine to come up the stairs and meet Raine's grandmother.

"This is my guest, Nonna. I hope he is of your liking," introduces Raine.

"Hmm, what is your name my dear boy," asks Lady Vertolli.

Jasper looks at her confused. Raine shakes her head and translates for Jasper.

"Il mio nome รจ Jasper," answers Jasper in Italian.

Lady Vertolli nods and then a low laugh emits from her. "A perfect gentleman, in the least, you have chosen well my dear granddaughter."

Raine bows, then is escorted inside with Jasper by her side. When she comes in she can hear whispering from her cousins about Jasper and herself.

"That boy is cute," whispers one of her cousins.

"Yeah, I agree maybe he would like us better than Raine," whispers another cousin.

Raine's face became more and more red as she goes further into the room. When she reached her designated spot both Jasper and herself slip safely to the spot unnoticed by anyone one else.

"Okay everyone knows that Raine is the oldest female and the first to turn eighteen among my grandchildren," speaks Lady Vertolli.

They nod, and then look at their grandmother. "Well seeing how she has a large amount of cousins I want each cousin, aunt, uncle, and grandparent to help with the celebration."

They all turn their heads to where Raine is standing by Jasper. Raine blushes a violent shade of pink, now as embarrassed as Bella is around the Cullens. Raine quickly removes herself and Jasper before she hears any more details for her birthday. Walking around with Jasper she wanders into the garden where it's full of pretty flowers and many other things.

Sitting down on a bench Raine smiles that smile she hasn't smiled in a while. "You know when I was younger, me and my grandmother would always go out to this very garden and she would teach me other languages. It was very fun and I enjoyed it to the fullest extent."

"So are you really the oldest girl out of your grandmother's grandchildren," asks Jasper.

Raine smiles and nods, "Yep I sure am, though I have a girl cousin, who is a couple months younger than me and I also have a boy cousin, a couple months older than me."

"What are their names," questions Jasper, curiously.

"My boy cousin name is Cosimo and my girl cousin name is Flora," answers Raine. "Just like I would be in this garden all the time with my grandmother so was she. Her name actually means flower in Italian."

Jasper nods to what Raine said. Jasper smiles at Raine, sensing Raine becoming anxious.

Raine looks at him and her once wide smile is now only a small line across her face. "This garden is named 'the garden of water for flowers' or 'il giardino di acqua per i fiori'."

Raine looks at Jasper instinctively knowing what Jasper was feeling. "Yes it's an interesting name for a garden, but what is more interesting is that, Flora died a couple of weeks after I left to Forks and a flower without her water will die and water with nothing to nourish anything will become old and no longer retain its nutrients until a new flower comes along and helps bring back what water had missed dearly, a flower to nourish, a flower to love and care for."

"Am I that flower who brought it all back," questions Jasper quietly, looking at Raine with a newfound love and admiration.

Raine nods smiling softly.
