(Celeste's P.O.V.)

My heart pounded and my blood boiled in anger as I took in the aftermath of Aurie's destruction. I was beyong being furious with her. I slammed her into a wall, the air rushing out of her in a woosh. With the newly found immortal speed I possessed I popped up in front of her, placing a hand on her pale chest.

"You aren't the only powerful one, Aurie. And if you ever hurt her or any of the others here, I will rip you apart. Understood?" I made my voice hard and cold, like my entire body. Did she resent me because I no longer had witch's blood flowing through my veins?

"I may not be the only powerful one, but I am the strongest." She hissed, and to make her point known she removed my hand with ease, drawing a gasp from everyone present. This girl, my sister, had just overpowered a newborn vampire, something no mortal should be able to do. She shoved me away, and walked over to stand in the front of the door, looking at the pack outside, joking and laughing, given they hadn't seen any of this interaction. She ran her thin fingers down the glass.

"I envy you, my sister. Do you realize this? Don't you know what you have here? You have people who love you. Who would die for you. You have only been in here for three days, twenty hours, eleven minutes, seven seconds, and they already consider you family. After you left, I gave up on family, on love, on getting close. I would rather live with a comfortable distance rather than live with a million heartbreaks. You left, and I wanted to disappear. Yet, I still love you dear sister." She told me, looking distant and forlorn. Her teeth clamped down onto her cheek, and I could smell the blood flooding her mouth. She turned to look at me one last time, than stepped out the door. People flocked to me, but not before I saw Nessie duck out the door.

(Renesmee's P.O.V.)

I followed Aurie out the door, where she stood on the steps, her eyes cast towards the forest.
"Don't you think that was a little harsh?" I questioned. Her whole body tensed as she whipped around to stare at me with wild eyes.

"Harsh? What would you know about harsh, princess? Excuse the hell outta me, but not everyone gets what they want handed to them on a silver platter. You've gotten everything you've wanted since you were born. The perfect parents, a guy people would kill to have.. But no, you just aren't satisfied with that, you have to dictate other peoples lives, too. Well, not mine." I than noticed through the fabric of the white dress a pale blue tattoo. It was an A encased within a crescent moon, flamelike patterns sweeping towards her bellybutton.

"Beautiful, isn't it? It marks you as a witch. You're first initial with a crescent moon and your most natural element." It was beautiful, and fire went along with her in perfect harmony. This girl was full of fiery passion, and her ambition and fury was also full of fire. But her words from earlier made my blood boil. How could she decide my life so easily and so quickly? She couldn't. This witch was a force to be reckoned with. And I'll be damned if I was going to give up on my quest to figure out her complex puzzle pieces.

While I was going through my mind, I got lost, and than I heard a footfall on the steps. Aurie was running. Before I could move, she fled into the woods, and despite the white that seemed to surrond her, she was gone, invisible. Without knowing why, tears weld up in my eyes, and I dropped to my knees. Seth was the first one to sink beside me.

"What's wrong Nessie? What is it?" He questioned, gently.

"She can't leave!" I screeched.
"We'll find her, Ness, I promise." He took me into his arms, rubbing soothing circles into my back. I'll love you forever, whispered in the back of my mind.

"I'll love you forever." I voiced, than completely fell into the black.

(Jacob's P.O.V.)

I trotted through the woods, in wolf form, searching desperately for Aurie. I had been at this for three hours, as had the rest of the pack.

Have you found her yet? Quil's voice echoed around inside my head.

Not yet.

The words bounced around inside my mind, than I heard a strangled sob. It sounded so broken, so sad, it was her. I was positive it was. It had to be. I transformed back into my human form, and than yanked on my jean shorts. I walked into a small clearing. There she sat, her sad eyes bleeding mascara.

"I knew she would send you, but I don't know why you came." She said, quietly as if she were talking to the air.
"I came, because she's my imprint." I told her, looking into her eyes that had lifted to mine.

"You really haven't figured it out yet. She isn't your imprint, niave boy. She's Seth's imprint. But his love was so powerful, he couldn't hold it all. Therefore, it leaked into the pack. Especially you. That's why you feel she's your imprint, and why the pack has such a deep affection for her. But she isn't taking away someone else's imprint." She said, her eyes daring me to believe her. She's right. My heart whispered. And suddenly, as I stared into her eyes, all my heart strings disconnected from me, and the only thing holding me here was her. She was all I would ever need. She was the joy in pain, the light in the dark, the thorns on a rose.
