Authors Note: Hey everyone! Finger sandwiches are the bomb! Don't ask, long story! Oh sorry about the song lyrics not looking how they're supposed to. I'll fix that! ( when I was writing this I pictured Emmett looking like the human Shrek from Shrek 2.)

Chapter Three:

Holding Out For A Hero

Rosalie POV

Gatlinburg, Tennessee, 1935

"For the millionth time, I am not going!" I yelled as I started up the stairs towards Edwards room.

"Now you listen here young lady, you are going and that is final." Carlisle called after me.

"NO!" I had reached Edward's room and entered. I slammed the door behind me and sat against it.

"What happened now?"

"That crazy man wants to go hunting." I laughed a bit. "Why do we always have to go hunting?"

"Do you not realize what you are?" Edward gave me a look of uncertainty.

"Of course I do. I didn't ask to be turned into this… this monster."

"Rosalie, non of us did." Edward helped me to my feet and hugged me.

Carlisle had brought me into this lifestyle for Edward. He thought he could just throw us together and we would fall in love like he and Esme. Unfortunately for him, Edward is more like an older brother than that of a boyfriend. He is just not ready for love. He also keeps to himself.

"Rosalie Lillian Hale! Get down here this instant!" I heard Esme call from the stairs. "Edward you too."

We stepped out the door together and headed down the stairs. Esme and Carlisle stood at the bottom of the stairs and waited for us to join them. I gave Carlisle a look that would have killed him, providing he was human.

"Now, we are going up into the Appalachians." Esme stated as we all piled into the car. "And we will be splitting up this time, we all need some time to ourselves."

"Fine by me." I said quietly. I laid my head on Edwards shoulder and he put his arm around my waist. This was a comforting gesture, although I am sure Carlisle wished it were more. In my twenty-year-old mind, I wished I had more than this. I wish I had a husband to love me endlessly.

Where have all the good men gone

And where are all the gods?

Where's the street-wise Hercules

To fight the rising odds?

Isn't there a white knight upon a fiery steed?

Late at night I toss and turn and dream of what I need

We had arrived at our destination about three hours later. I was instructed to stay with Edward, for Carlisle wasn't sure I could be trusted to be on my own. Funny, he lived how long before he had anyone? And he also let Edward live on his own for a while.

I followed Edward for about a half hour. I began to wonder on my own towards the east. That's when I heard the sound of a fight.

I raced towards the sound of the fight and saw a human god fighting off a giant grizzly bear. He was pretty strong for a human. He had large upper arms and his short curly hair was jet black. He did not have a shirt there for showing his muscles which looked like they were chiseled into marble.

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero 'til the end of the night

He's gotta be strong

And he's gotta fast

And he's gotta be fresh from the fight

I need a hero

I'm holding out for a hero 'til the morning light

He's gotta be sure

And it's gotta soon

And he's gotta be larger than life

He was the man of my dreams. He was strong, handsome, and a fighter. I looked at the small pocket watch that I had left from my paternal father. Just after midnight. What was a human doing in the mountains after midnight? Maybe he was camping or something. I was not sure.

Somewhere after midnight

In my wildest fantasy

Somewhere just beyond my reach

There's someone reaching back for me

Racing on the thunder and rising with the heat

It's gonna take a superman to sweep me off feet

Then I saw the most heart-wrenching thing. The bear had hold of the poor soul and was shaking him violently. He threw him against a tree and I was on that bear faster like flies on a dog. I bit into that bear and drained him of all his blood. Then I proceeded to rip him to shreds.

Up where the mountains meet the heavens above

Out where the lightning splits the sea

I would swear that there's someone somewhere

Watching me

Through the wind and the chill and the rain

And the storm and the flood

I can feel his approach

Like the fire in my blood

I ran to the mans side and lifted him up. He was barely breathing and he was covered in blood. I had to get him to Carlisle. I wasn't going to lose him, not the man of my dreams.

-x-x-x-x-

"CARLISLE?" I screamed.

"What in the hell did you do? I let you wonder off and this is what you come back with?" Edward was furious. "How could you…"

"I didn't do this, Edward. A bear attacked him and I had to finish the bear off. I saved him, Edward. I saved him." I broke down into dry sobs.

"What is going on… Rosalie, explain your self." I heard Carlisle say. I didn't look at him I just explained everything that happened.

"FIX HIM!" I demanded of my father. "Fix him now. I won't let him die."

"You do not know what you are asking, Rosalie, he will be your responsibility."

"FIX HIM!" I screamed. I must have sounded like a deranged lunatic. " I want him, I love him."

"you barely know him." Carlisle stated.

"Says the man who changed the woman of his dreams. Did I mention, he only knew her for about two hours." Edward pointed out.

"First of all, that was different. We both liked one another. I doubt he has even seen her."

"I have." Came a small feeble voice from behind. "Don't take her away."

"FIX HIM!" I screamed again.

"Alright. I hope you know what you are getting yourself into Rosalie. My hands are already full." Carlisle kneeled over the mans body and bit him.

Three days later, he awoke. Carlisle and I explained everything to him. That's when I learned his name was Emmett. He took everything in stride. He figured that if I was a vampire and if Carlisle was a vampire how bad could it be. We were married six months later while on our way to Washington State.

A/N: Okay, how was that? I hope you all liked it. R&R!
