AN: Hi Lovelies! This is my first attempt at a drabble so I'm kinda nervous. For those who don't know, a drabble is a story told in short chapters - between 100 and 500 words. It can be longer if needed but not go over 1000 words per chapter.

Some of you may recognise this. I originally wrote this as a short o/s WitFit, but it has been re-written, fixed and extended :)

Warning: This story is a little dark and will contain sensitive subject matter later on. It's angsty but will have a HEA, I promise.

Thanks to Belindella who read through this for me in a pinch and thanks to IlliticWriter who made me an amazing banner! Link is on my profile. Thanks Lovelies!

Okay, here is the first chapter. Hope you likey! :)

EPOV:

"Edward, did you hear that?" A low voice disturbed my dream.

Something cold pressed on my bare chest and I immediately flinched away with a groan.

"Psst, Edward, wake up, dumbass…"

I jumped as I felt a hand hit my face, and looked up to see my sister Alice hovering above me with a baseball bat.

It was still dark, so I glanced at my bedside clock to see it read four in the morning.

"Alice, what the fuck are you doing?"

"Be quiet and watch your language!" she scolded, as she placed a hand over my mouth, nodding toward my five year old son Anthony, who was looking up at me from the end of my bed.

Alice was only staying because she'd been babysitting Anthony. I'd been the Doctor on call the night before and had been called in un-expectantly for an emergency. Luckily Alice had offered to mind Anthony and had ended up staying the night.

"Why are we whispering? And why are you carrying my bat?" I asked, though it came out muffled as Alice's hand was still firmly clamped over my face.

Alice opened her mouth to answer but she was silenced by the sound of smashing glass.

Anthony gasped and huddled closer to the stuffed rabbit he was clutching in his arms.

That was all it took for my adrenaline kick in. I pried off Alice's fingers and made a run for my gun in the safe at the bottom of my closet.

"Alice, I want you and Anthony to stay here and call 911. I'm going downstairs to see what's going on. Lock the door behind me," I said, as I ejected the clip in my handgun to make sure it was loaded, before reloading it and switching the safety off.

"Edward, we should just wait for the police to arrive," Alice said, but froze as more smashing sounded downstairs.

"Relax, it might be nothing… It could just be a rodent that came in through the chimney. I'm just going to have a look. Now, make sure this door stays locked, do you understand?"

Alice nodded in response as she placed her cell phone to her ear.

I gave my terrified kid a wink of confidence. "You stay here with Aunt Alice, little man, okay?"

Anthony, whose eyes were now wide with fear simply nodded as he latched on to Alice's leg.

"Be careful," Alice whispered as I reached for the door handle.

"Yeah." I winked at her in response as I closed the door behind me and waited until I heard the door lock.

Who or whatever was in my house had made the biggest mistake of their life. No one frightened my family.

Are we interested? Hope you liked!

Okay, so as I said, posting starts next week. Hopefully see you then!

Thanks for reading. Much Love! Xox
