"So now what?! They're after me?!"

"Hold on, Morgan. I'm going to go see what Alice thinks I should do with you."

I nodded.

After about a minute Damien sprinted back into the room.

"We're going to Bella's. The vampires aren't that close to the house yet so we will have a clean get away!"

I nodded.

Damien popped open the window.

"Er…shouldn't we leave?"

He nodded. "Of course. We're just going through an alternative exit."

"Wha…?"

"The window. It's the best chance we have of escaping."

"The window?" I echoed.

I quickly gathered my thoughts and nodded.

"Okay."

Damien jumped out first quickly and swiftly. I looked out of the window and he was looking right back up at me. I just stopped breathing and jumped. I hit the ground quickly and stood back up. Nothing broken, amazingly. Well, not amazingly, since I knew that we really couldn't break bones.

"Come on, we have to get out of here. Bella's home seems for now a safe place." He said. "You go one first, I want to see if Alice knows if there are any trackers in the vampire group."

"Oh…o-okay…" I said.

I was about to start running to Bella's when Damien grabbed my hand. I spun around.

I was about to say: "What?" when he kissed me. "I love you." He said, looking into my eyes. "I love you, too." I whispered. He let go of me and I began to run. Would that be our last kiss…?

(Alice's Point of View)

Now everyone was at the house. Except for Edward, though, since Damien and Morgan were heading to Bella's so they could always use and extra vampire on hand.

"Carlisle!" I called to him warily, seeing that the other vampires were getting closer.

"Alice!"

I turned to see Damien. "Yes?" I asked. I was thinking: Shouldn't you be with Morgan and go to Bella's?

"Are there any trackers in the group?"

"There might be. But I doubt many of them."
Damien still groaned and ran out the door, obviously heading for Bella's.

"Carlisle…?" I called again.

"Yes, Alice?"

"What're we going to do?!"

He stared out the window. "At first, all we can do is try to reason with the two leaders."

We may have a chance…there's only about 12 of them…they don't outnumber us by much…I guess.

I stared nervously out the window. Okay, I thought. We can do this. Just keep Morgan safe, Damien!

(Morgan's Point of View)

"Morgan!" Bella threw herself onto me as we entered the front door.

"Bella…" I whispered. I was shaking a little, afraid.

"Don't worry, Morgan," Damien reassured me. "You're going to be fine. All of us are."

I nodded, trying so desperately to believe his words were true. Somewhere deep down inside me, I believed it.

"You'd be surprised about how well we can manage." Edward said, suddenly appearing out of nowhere.

Okay, I told myself, just believe that everything will be alright.

I sat on the couch and put my head in my hands.

I can't believe this. It's always one problem after another. Am I destined to always be in danger? No, to put the ones I love in danger?

"This is all my fault…" I whispered.

Damien, who was now sitting next to me, protested. "Don't be absurd, Morgan! It is not your fault. Don't even think for a second that it is!"

"Yeah, Morgan! Of course it isn't your fault. Why would you think such a thing?" Bella asked. I heaved a sigh. "Because always when I'm around, trouble happens."

Bella laughed. "Don't you think I believe that about myself, too?"

Edward nudged her. "You really think that?"

She looked at him and shrugged. "Well…it kinda is the truth…"

"Bella…" Edward laughed and shook his head. "Both of you! It's not your fault if something like this happens! Just know that your family—us—will be behind you all the way."

I smiled faintly. Edward…thanks. I thought.

He shot me a smile and nodded.

"No we have to wait…" Bella said, sitting on my other side on the couch.

(Alice's Point of View)

Carlisle and I had gone out to try to reason with the two blood-thirsty vampires. They had stopped their group and smiled at our approach.

"So you want a fight?" The male asked, smiling evilly.

"No," Carlisle answered.

I stayed silent, trying to see how this conversation would turn out. Would we fight or would we resolve this?

"Then why do you wish to speak to us? If you want us to surrender, you have another thing coming!" The female spat.

"What are your names?" Carlisle asked.

The two looked between themselves; deciding to answer his question or not.

"Adam." The man said.

"Scarlett." The woman answered.

"May I ask why you wish to harm Morgan?" Carlisle asked, calmly.

"Can we take this inside?" I asked, turning to Carlisle.

Adam and Scarlett looked at their group.

"Stay here," Scarlett hissed at them.

"Of course," Carlisle said, answering my question. When we got near the house more, we stopped.

Close enough… I thought.

"Now, in regards to your question," the Scarlett began, "she has turned to your side."

"What side is that?" I asked.

"Good," Adam sneered the word.

"Let me tell you the whole story, since we are about to annihilate you anyway," Scarlett said.

"We change our victims and leave them there for several months until they learn how to get used to the vampire way of life. Usually, they become furious and are trying to get back at the world, which is when we come in," Scarlett smiled.

"Making them think that you're helping them?" I asked.

Adam laughed. "Do you honestly think we'd let them go to your side? Oh, please…"

"But," Scarlett said, "something happened we didn't expect."

"She met your kind," Scarlett said. "The good, the nice, the perfect vampires. You turned her away from her calling. She would have been great! We sensed great power from her as we chose her as our victim."

I felt a drop of water land on my wrist. I looked up quickly. It began to rain.

"And now," Adam began.

"We fight!!" Scarlett cried, as she began to run back to her group.

I uttered a small prayer before continuing on.

Damien…keep Morgan safe. For all of our sakes.
