A/N - Hello, awesome people! I'm having a little writers block at the moment since I've reached the part in the story where I was gonna call it a night and start on a sequel but... It didn't really turn out like that. Natalie is being stubborn and not telling me what she wants to do next, but she is quite happy to tell me how her story ends. It ends like...

I'm not gonna tell you :)

Tsubasa Suzane: Oh, it gets worse... so, sorry in advance :S

crazyladywithashovel: Ah, yes. Crazy people and vampires, you can't beat 'em! And no, because I'm evil, begging will not help! :D

-Skizzi: Thanks! I'm sorry if it wasn't how people imagined, but I hope it wasn't too awful!

Unigirl150: Nat isn't really one of those vampires, she more of an Edwardish I'm-gonna-hate-myself-for-ever type vampires. And Demetri? He says hes working on it.

Lets G-g-g-ooo!

Chapter 20 – Seattle

So far I had kept my promise, I still hated myself, though not as violently as before. Time had been passing oddly quickly for me at least. Demetri had been teaching me Italian in our spare time, Diana was already fluent which annoyed me a lot. I was learning very quickly, thanks to my awesome vampire memory.

"Ciao, Natalie! A che la sono su?" Diana sang as she came into my room. I was lying on the bed reading Northern Lights yet again with my speakers blasting music. I smiled at her and answered without a second's thought.

"Sono di bel ringraziamenti, e lei?" I asked her. She turned down my music and I glared at her. I could still hear it but it had been at a perfect volume.

"Yeah, I'm good. We have a job to do by the way. Your Italian is coming along well, your accent is near perfect!" She grinned at me and I couldn't help but laugh. I was curious about the 'job' aswell. "Of course the accent is probably due to spending nearly every moment of your time with a certain Italian vampire," She continued grinning cheekily. I drifted off thinking of said gorgeous Italian vampire.

Diana waved a hand in front of my face, which I studiously ignored. When I was done daydreaming I smiled at her and asked her where we were going on our 'job'. And what that job entailed. She smiled, grabbed my hand and pulled me down the stairs to the reception at vampire speed.

Demetri, Felix and Jane were stood around dressed in long cloaks. Jane's was easily the darkest, nearly black. Felix and Demetri's cloaks were both dark grey colours, Demetri walked towards us smiling with two light grey cloaks in his arms, he kissed me lightly on the lips as Diana made a face. I stuck my tongue out at her and put the cloak over my shoulders just as she was about to. It fell elegantly to my feet and the colour complimented our skin wonderfully.

I ran upstairs to quickly change before we left. I packed a small bag with a change of clothes, toothbrush, toothpaste and a hairbrush. I pulled on a dark dress that was cut down to my knees and then knee high black boots. I ran down the stairs, entirely comfortable in my high heels, Jane glared at me and I smiled angelically back at her.

All five of us hopped into a beautiful Mercedes with tinted windows. I ended up squashed between Demetri and Felix when Diana called shotgun – which was lost on the other three, as they had no idea what shotgun actually was. Felix ruffled my dark hair with one pale hand.

"Welcome to the team, kid," he said, grinning at me. I returned his smile and plotted my threat. He was going to pay for that little remark. Demetri saw the look in my eyes and smiled in encouragement.

"Felix," I said innocently. He looked at me questioningly. "If you ever call me a kid ever again I will personally throw you against a wall and let Diana blind you," I paused dramatically. "Again." He grimaced and rolled his eyes but I could tell he was a little scared. Diana gave me a high five and Felix stared huffily out of the car window.

We pulled up to Florence's airport and walked pretty much straight onto our plane. I messed about with one of security guards a bit, every time he reached for something I would move it a little bit out of his reach. He eventually rugby tackled the blue tray on the conveyer belt and yelled out in triumph. Everyone gave looks that questioned his sanity as he blushed furiously. I smiled at him and said thank you as he gave me back my security-checked bag and he blushed again.

"T-that's quite… okay ma'am. It was my p-pleasure," He managed to stammer out. He was staring at me as if I was an angel and I had to remind myself at how I looked to him. To him I was an extraordinarily beautiful woman – not that I agreed with that, of course – who was smiling happily at him. I walked out of the room and waved cheerily at him, his colleague nudged him and he waved back. Demetri wound his arm protectively around my waist. I giggled.

"Jealous?" I laughed at how any human could possibly compare to him. He nodded and dropped his eyes in embarrassment; I kissed his cheek to reassure him. "Don't be, as if anyone could compare to you!" I laughed again at the ridiculous idea and he seemed to have cheered up. I winked at the security guard as we walked out and into the terminal.

I started to walk to the lounge area as we waited a few minutes for our flight when I felt an arm around my shoulder spinning me around. I looked up at Demetri with a puzzled frown on my face. I tried to walk off again, and he stopped me. I glared at him.

"Oh no you don't. Where are you going?" He asked me jokingly. I stared back furiously, this was really not funny.

"I don't know," I retorted. " No one seems to deem me important enough to know that classified piece of information." He pushed me towards another door as I tried to escape. I was really annoyed now. I had no idea where the heck I was going or why the heck I was going there!

He sighed. "Natalie… You are important," He sighed again as he saw my annoyed expression. He restarted his answer. " We are going to Seattle to sort out a…a, er," he struggled for the right words. Which was extremely uncommon for him. "A new-born problem." He looked at me, gauging my reaction. Something suddenly sunk in.

"We're going to have to kill them, aren't we?" I asked in horror. He didn't bother answering me. I shook my head in dismay.

Why was it always killing?

As always, review please!
