A/N Hey people! I know I haven't updated in a while, I spent all of my computer time yesterday playing Chrono Trigger. So to make it up to you – drum roll please –I'm giving you TWO new chapters today! So let's go!

"No…Esme…" Carlisle whispered.

I was about to go over and comfort him, when I felt someone tap my shoulder.

It was Jane. She was clutching Edward's arm. Instead of just letting him go, she threw him on the ground.

After he got up, we looked over at Carlisle. Even from a distance, you could tell he was having trouble keeping his expression calm.

"Is that the angriest he's ever been?" Nessie asked her dad.

"Actually…" he hesitated.

"Actually…what?" I asked.

"That's probably the first time he's ever been angry."

"Losing someone you've been with for centuries tends to do that." I said sadly.

"Yeah." He agreed silently.

When we looked back, Esme was standing in front of the same line that almost tore Edward apart. Once again, Aro nodded to them. Nessie buried her face in my shoulder.

The vampires tackled her, followed by a loud, metallic screeching, and Carlisle's angry growls. I wondered what was going on back there.

Then Nessie showed me that Emmet and Rosalie were struggling to contain him. I felt so much pity for him.

Aro then raised his vampire burner, ready to completely destroy Esme…when it suddenly flew out of his hand.

And over to Carlisle.

A/N did you like it? I wanted to make this longer, but my muse has a habit of running off during the day and only coming back when I need sleep the most :[

Anyway, I also wanted Carlisle's gift to be something else, but it kept coming back to telepathy. Everything else I thought of was kinda sci fi.
