I have decided that the next chapter will be the one written from another character's point of view. I am appreciating all the reviews I've been receiving.

Disclaimer: Do I look like Stephenie Meyer? No, I don't, and I don't own Twilight either. *sobs*

Kathleen's POV:

I was with Seth in the forest, hugging him while sitting on his lap. He was hugging me back, smiling, when I felt him suddenly stiffen. I looked up at him, puzzled. He set me down and got up, shaking. I tried to get up with him, to tell him to stay with me, but I couldn't move or speak. A figure appeared in the distance, and I had the feeling that they did not have good intentions. The figure leapt and was aiming for me. I couldn't scream and had to watch…

*****************

I shot up to a sitting position, panting after the fear of my nightmare. It had been different from the other nightmare I had had before I had met the huge wolves. That one had a sense of reality to it, while this one was definitely my imagination. I wiped the sweat off my forehead and looked around the room.

Seth was in a chair, snoring loudly. He looked so peaceful, all the stress I had noticed on his face gone while he slept. I cast my gaze towards the small curtained window in the room, and met the gaze of Renesmee. She looked at me with an impatient look, sliding off the chair she had been sitting in. She walked gracefully over to me and hopped up onto my bed beside me. I blinked in surprise as I looked at her. She looked slightly older!

I pushed that thought aside. I must have imagined it; no one could grow that fast. She looked at me questionably as I puzzled for a moment over her looks.

Nessie finally coughed impatiently, which brought me out of my pondering. I looked up at her as she started to speak quietly. "I need you to follow me as quietly as you can. And don't think about it if you can, ok?" She looked around cautiously as she said this like she was expecting someone to hear her and walk in.

I thought about not coming with her; I was still tired and really wanted to fall asleep again. Then again, I didn't want to have any more nightmares, and I was pretty sure that Nessie could make me go if she needed to anyway. I sighed before answering. "All right, I'll go with you."

She smiled in delight. "Good," She whispered. "Now follow me as quietly as you can."

She slipped off my bed silently, pressing a finger against her lips in a 'silent' symbol before walking across my room. The floor didn't creak once beneath her, though last time when I had snuck out it had creaked several times and I had been going slower than her. She turned to me once she was at the door, and beckoned towards me.

I slipped slowly off my bed and crept carefully across the room to where she was waiting but despite my efforts the floor still creaked several times. I finally reached the now very impatient Nessie. She grabbed my hand, still signaling for me to be quiet, and opened the door, tugging me along. We went down the stairs quickly, the steps slightly creaking.

We reached the door quickly, and Nessie once again whispered to me to not think about what we were doing or going but to think of something else that would occupy my mind. I thought, and the only thing I could come up with was Seth. He filled my mind as we trudged along at a fast pace. I couldn't tell where we were going since I was involved in my fantasies about Seth.

After what had seemed like a while we stopped. "You can think whatever you want to now." She told me before sitting down, dragging me with her. I reluctantly stopped fantasizing about Seth as I looked at her. She seemed slightly nervous as she turned towards me.

I gave her a shocked look. I never expected Nessie to be nervous about something. She laughed lightly at my expression. "I have to tell you something I've wanted to tell you for a while now. I've decided that it's time that you know even if the others will be mad at me." She sucked in a deep breath before continuing on.

"You see, my family isn't… normal. Neither are Jacob and Seth. We're all… different from the normal person, if you can call some of us even that." She laughed nervously. I stared at her, curious. Was she going to tell me about what I had been curious about?

"Well… ummm… Oh, I better just tell you already! Kitty, my family are vampires and Jacob and Seth are the wolves we saw yesterday. I know, it's shocking and may not seem true, but it is." She added when she saw my expression of disbelief. She was about to speak again when I stopped her by raising my hand.

"It makes sense actually." I said at last. Nessie looked shocked. I quickly explained. "I mean, I could tell that all of you were not normal, though I don't get where you fit into that picture. You are different from everyone else."

She surprised me by laughing. "I just told you that my family are all vampires, and you say it makes sense without even freaking out once. Aren't you worried about their… diet?"

"Oh." I said, understanding why she was so nervous about it. "I'm not too worried about it, since they haven't tried to drink my blood or anything yet. Besides, I don't think Seth would let them." I covered my mouth after I said the last part and blushed.

Nessie gasped, and then smiled. "Well, there's something about how Jacob acts around me and Seth acts around you too. But first, back to my family. You are safe; they are 'vegetarian' vampires and only drink animal blood. If you've caught any of my previous slips, you might have started to figure out who my actual parents are. Edward and Bella are my biological parents though I was born when my mother was still human." She must have noticed my expression because she changed the subject. Edward and Bella being her parents was just too weird.

"Seth, Jacob, and for that matter, Seth's sister Leah and other natives in the area, are shape shifters. They change into huge wolves. The day we met those two wolves, well… the reddish-brown one was Jacob while the sandy one was Seth. They're all different colors, and they start to change when vampires of any kind reside in the area." She paused, looking nervous. I urged her to continue on, and after a moment, she did.

"Well, they also have a unique thing that happens to some of them. You see, when one of them sees a certain person after they have first changed, something happens to them. They do something called imprinting. They see this person and, from what I've heard from Jake, it's like the center of their universe is that person. They would do anything for that person just to see them happy. It's very powerful." She stopped for the moment, leaning back.

I thought for a moment. "So did Seth do that on me?" I asked quietly, feeling slightly embarrassed. It made sense. He didn't even know me-I didn't even know me-and yet he had been so… protective and kind from the beginning. I realized that I felt strongly for him too. I wouldn't want him to be hurt either. I guessed though that I would never feel as strongly as him, but I would still love him greatly.

Nessie turned slowly towards me. "Yes, he did do that on you. Most of the older shape shifters have. Jacob did it on me; Leah did it on Nahuel, another half-vampire; and others from the other pack nearby. It was supposed to be rare, but it turned out that it wasn't."

She seemed to think about something for a moment. "Now, don't freak out when I do this, ok?" She said. I nodded in response. I trusted her. She seemed satisfied with my response. She reached out slowly towards me and touched my neck. Suddenly, I saw images- I saw myself backwards, like it was from someone else's point of view, I saw Seth, I saw many people and things. I gasped in surprise, and the images were gone in an instant.

"I'm sorry if I scared you with that." Nessie said, keeping her hands to herself. She looked ashamed.

"It's alright. You just startled me, that's all." I said, trying to reassure her. She smiled slightly in response. I suddenly remembered a question that I had wanted to ask for a while. "Nessie, would anyone else happen to have any… special abilities like you?"

She looked up, surprised. "Yes, actually. My dad can read people's minds," I nodded as my suspicions were confirmed. "My aunt Alice can see the future except for the shape shifters and I, my uncle Jasper can sense other people's emotions and change them, and my mom can block other's powers that affect the mind and shield others too. Actually," She continued, "Alice was saying that you have some sort of ability or abilities too-she can't really tell because you keep on disappearing from her view."

I felt shocked. Then I thought about the first 'nightmare' I had. Maybe I was seeing the future or something. I guess time will only tell. "I lot of things are suddenly making sense now." I finally said, standing up. I was feeling much better (and balanced for that point), and I got up quickly. "I guess it's probably a good time to go back then." I started to walk off.

I felt a warm hand grab my wrist and hold me in place. "Not quite yet." Nessie said. "I was going to have you meet someone who refused to meet you earlier."

I froze. She could not be meaning… I looked at her and knew she meant who I thought she meant. The girl who had glared at me angrily, like I was bad or something. Leah.

***************

I sighed, leaning back against the tree. Leah and I had talked for a long time, Nessie making sure the conversation didn't get out of hand. I had learned a lot about her over the last couple of hours, like that she was the only female shape shifter, or what they called werewolf, and that before she had imprinted on Nahuel she had been very bitter to everyone because Sam, her high-school sweetheart, had imprinted on her cousin Emily and she felt sad and angry about it.

She said the reason why she had been so angry at me was because she dearly loved her brother. She didn't want him to change, but she would have been able to handle it if he had imprinted on someone that she knew about. None of us had really known anything about me, so it made her upset.

Over the time we had talked she had transformed in front of me and introduced Nahuel to me when he had appeared for a moment. Nahuel was very nice, smiling and even shaking my hand. Leah told me later that that was still a new behavior for him since he had lived for almost all of his life in the Amazon rainforest.

We talked for a little longer before she said that she had to go; she had to do her patrol. She gave me a small hug, which surprised me, and smiled at me before waving goodbye.

I had totally been surprised by her behavior, but was pleased. I had been afraid that she was going to yell at me or something, but she had been very cool-headed. I was ready to head back home to Seth. Being away from him for so long made me restless.

I felt Nessie tugging me up, and I stumbled. I was half asleep on my feet, and she had to support me as we walked home.

As I stumbled up the steps to the door the one person I had wanted to see the most appeared, looking worried. Seth embraced me in a big hug and carried me to the door and set me gently on the couch.

I heard a mumble of voices as we came in and I looked up. Everyone was in the living room including Leah and Nahuel, who were standing behind the couch in front of me. She smiled a tiny smile while Nahuel looked kindly.

Out of the vampires none were even twitching or breathing. All but Alice were giving me glares and looking at Nessie like she was in huge trouble, which she probably was. Alice was staring blankly into space. I guessed that she was looking into the future. She frowned slightly as I was looking at everyone. I was immediately reminded of my vision when the blank look left her eyes and she too glared at me. Was it happening?

At that moment Seth stood up, standing in front of me. "It's not either of their faults that she found out so soon. She probably would have asked me anyway and I would have had to tell her. Nessie knew that, and probably wanted her to learn soon before she asked too many questions. Please," He said, begging now, "Don't punish either of them. Or else-" His voice caught for a moment before he continued. "I'll protect both of them. I'll attack you if it means that Kathleen gets spared from your life or Nessie is left alone." At that he stepped back and shook. He looked for a moment at Jacob, who nodded. At that he changed in front of me. One moment he was there and the next the sandy colored wolf was. He looked at me before lying down in front of me protectively.

I felt shocked. Surely they wouldn't do anything that would harm me or Nessie that bad- would they? Then I remembered that he wanted to protect me. He might just be overreacting. I looked up at the others, and I wasn't so sure that was the case.

Edward stood up next. "I don't know what she's thinking anymore; it's not like Bella, where it seems like there's no one there, but more like someone put up a wall. Either way, what I've heard from her and seen from her over the time she's been here she has not meant any harm. I agree with Seth; she would have found out either on her own or with help anyway." At that he sat down again by Bella.

Jasper stood up almost immediately after Edward had sat down, looking annoyed. "She cannot just be left without any consequence. She has to be changed or… disappear. Do you want the Volturi to come again? This time they might decide that Nessie isn't so harmless after all." Seth growled by my feet while Bella and Edward shuddered. "Kathleen must pay the price, no matter how she found out." He settled down beside Alice, whose eyes were unfocused again.

She stood up almost like she hadn't planned to, and she spoke. "She cannot die. She can't be changed either. I can't see anything else." Her eyes refocused on me. "I can't see any more of her. I think she's similar to the shape shifters." Edward suddenly stared at me, looking a hint scared but like he had just put two and two together. What-

I suddenly saw something. I could clearly see Nessie and the werewolves now, but the vampires were a blur and I got a headache from seeing them. All I could tell was that it was only moments away, and it involved a vampire, who appeared to leap at me and lean close to my neck…

At that moment I opened my eyes and saw Jasper tense, like he was going to leap. "Jasper, don't!" Alice and I screamed at the same time as he leaped, Seth growling, Edward and the others looking in horror and I hoped that the rest of my vision that I suddenly saw was true…

Sorry for the cliff-hanger! I promise that it will turn out well. Someone knows what cannot happen, so read over what they said. (*cough cough* Alice *cough cough*)

Remember to review and say who you want to have the next chapter's POV from: Edward, Renesmee, or Seth. If there's a tie, I might do both in the same chapter. Thank you once again for all the reviews I have received.
