Sam's POV

"Faster!" Nessie said. She had been saying that since we left the house three hours ago. First was the drive to the airport, and then was the airplane, and now the finishing drive.

"I'm going as fast as I can!" I said. "If I go any faster, the car will break! You try getting there then."

"I'm sorry, it's just…I'm so worried…what if they hurt him?"

I sighed. "I'm sure Jake's be fine. I mean, if they didn't hurt him already, why would they do it now?"

"There!" she called, pointing to a castle. I parked, and we got out.

"Nessie," Moon said. I forgot she was there. "When we get there, don't do any thing rash. Just be careful."

She nodded. We went into the castle and through a bunch of corridors, until we came to a big double doored room.

We saw a bunch of vampires─ they had very chalky complexions─ and a big dark skinned dude, probably Jake, sitting on the floor.

They all stared at us. "Nessie?" 'Jake' said.

"Jakie!" She ran over to him. "Jakie, are you OK?"

"What are you doing here?" He stared at her, afraid. But…of what?

"Yes," a small, female vampire said, "what are you doing here?" Two dudes grabbed Nessie by the arms and brought her over to another dude, who was probably the leader.

"Leave her alone!" Jake yelled, standing up.

"Let her go!" I yelled. The leader held up his hand, and the two dudes holding Nessie let go and went to stand on his flanks.

"Who are you?" She said.

"My name is Aro." He said. "And you?"

"N-nessie." She sighed. "What do you want with Jake?"

Aro laughed a little. "Simple. G─"

Suddenly, there was a disgusting smell. The smell of wolves. All the vampires' noses─ including mine─ wrinkled in disgust. The door burst open and a bunch of wolves, one in human form, came in, growling.

Jake looked at them. "What are you doing here?"

"We're getting you out of here, Jake." The one in human form said through gritted teeth. He looked at Nessie. "Your mom's real worried."

Nessie looked away. "Well, Uncle Sam, no one would listen, so I had to come myself."

Herself? I coughed.

"With Sam and Moon."

Aro gave another little laugh.

'Uncle Sam'─ let's call him Sam─ looked at him.

"I was wondering when you'd finally come."

"What do you want?"

"I told you already. A few years ago. Guard dogs."

The wolves growled and Sam hushed them. "I never thought you'd stoop to kidnapping. That's a little low, isn't it? I thought you were more…mature than that. Care to prove me right or wrong? I mean…it's just so shallow. Who would've thought? And you're supposed to be the ones keeping peace. What will the other vampires think? They'll probably break the rules, same as you."

"And just how are we breaking the rules?" A bored sounding vampire said. He really didn't sound like he cared.

I noticed a big vampire staring at Moon, smiling.

"Watch it." I growled. I would punch him if there weren't so many on the opposite side.

Everyone looked at me, then followed my glare and looked away.

"I have an idea." He said, still staring at Moon.

Everyone looked at him again.

"Felix." Aro said.

"We'll make a trade. The wolf for the girl."

"Deal." Sam said right away.

"Are you crazy? No deal!" I would've glared, but I wasn't gonna take my eyes off Felix.

"I'm already engaged." Moon said, looking away.

"Felix." Aro said.

He sighed.

"Sorry about that, but it seems Felix got a little crush." Aro turned to him, then back to us.

Moon's POV

I stared at the creepy vampire dude, "A crush?!?"

Felix nodded. "You're cute."

I blushed, "Umm…thanks…I…think you're cute too…" Sam growled…both Sams. Why was Nessie's Sam growling? Did he like me, too? Ooh. Naughty werewolf.

"But Emily!" I heard a low whisper. That was…Jake? I think…

"I know!" 'Uncle Sam' whispered back. "The growl was automatic. I didn't mean to, it was…automatic…"

"You said automatic twice."

"I know!"

Felix continued staring at me. Why wouldn't he look away. Damn, he's annoying. Stupid, creepy, vampire dude. You know what's weird? I think I like him. Creepy, eh? Thorn? Who knows? Boy, I'm…awesome…yeah…I'm awesome…anyhoos…

Aro looked at Nessie. "You seem familiar." He touched her hand and his face filled with remembrance. "Ah, yes. Bella and Edward's little girl. My, how you've grown. Where are your parents?"

"N-not h-here…" Nessie answered.

"Hmm…interesting…I wonder…"

"W-what?"

He smiled. "You'll see."
