A/N: I AM ALIVE! I have had the hardest time trying to write this chapter. Seriously, writers block didn't cover it. But it is finally here :) I will warn you all that this chapter may seem a bit rushed because to be honest with you, I'm sick of writing her journey.
A big thanks to awesomeami316 , missamazing7285 , Fire and Ice 22 , RANDOM COOKIE NINJA and NeedCoffeeINeedItOrI'llExpload for your reviews. And thanks to everyone that added my story to their favourites.
So enjoy :D

Chapter Two: We're off to see the Wizard. Eh, not really. Part Two.
The next morning I left early, again, to miss the traffic. I swear, by the end of this trip, Im gonna sleep for a week. Or two. Not long into my journey through the lovely Minnesota, I got a text from Leah. Now, being the sensible driver that I am, I pulled over into the hard shoulder to read it:
'FYI we got Vs in Forks. ur gonna hv 2 b SUPER careful. L x'
Bless her; she tends to warn me if there are vampires in the local area when I visit; because if they find out what I am they'll try to use me for evil. Go figure. So over the years, I've found it easier to perform a spell to basically conceal my smell. As weird as that sounds.
'dnt worry ive sorted it already. u wont b able to tell wht i am :) itll be fine M x'
Ever since my accident, Leah has been very protective of me. I think because of all the close calls I've had, she thinks she's going to lose me. Fat chance of that happening. As I made my way back onto the road, I began to think about what has happened in the last four years. And trust me, it's a lot.
Just under four years ago, my Dad married this stupid, blonde, gold-digging bimbo (A/N: No offence to the blondes out there. I'm blonde too). She didn't last very long – about six months. I may or may not have had done something to make her think that the house we lived in was haunted. Which, in my defence, it was: by a lovely old lady named Gertrude. Eight months after that, my Dad and I went to New York for one of his business trips. That's where I was attacked and saved by two very different vampires. Rosalie Hale was the one to save me. And I could never find the words to thank her, or her husband Emmett for what they did. I kept in touch with Rose for a while, she was like the big sister I never had. A couple of months after that trip, Dad was diagnosed with lung cancer. The last three years have been filled with nothing but hospital appointments and chemo sessions. In the end, the cancer was too aggressive and it took his life. In that moment I have never felt so helpless. I mean, what's the point of being this all powerful being if I can't save my Dad from bloody cancer?
It's not your fault, Morg. Some things are meant to happen. Shar whispered, brushing his feathers along my tear stained cheek. So that's why I'm coming to live with Uncle Sam and Emily, them being my only living relatives and all. A few hours later, we arrived at a motel just across the Washington border. I was so drained from the driving and everything else, that I didn't even bother calling Sam or Leah. Plus, if I'm calling them tomorrow there's no need to call them tonight.
~~~~~The Next Day~~~~~
I was up early again this morning, which I think my body is starting to hate me for. As I made my way to the car, I rang Sam.
"Hello."
"Hey Uncle Sam. I was just ringing to let you know that I'm on my way to the airport now."
"That's good. Why didn't you call last night? Is everything alright?" he asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine. After the movers left I fell asleep as soon as I got to the hotel. Sorry if I worried you." I said, putting my bag in the front.
"No it's fine. I thought it was strange that you didn't call." he mentioned. There's the protectiveness I remember.
"Well I'm calling now but I have to go because I'm in the taxi now. So I'll text you or Leah before I board, okay?" For emphasis I actually slammed my door.
"Oh, alright. Well we'll see you later today. Bye."
"Yeah, see you later. Bye." I hung up the phone, shoving it into my bag.
Before I set off again, I made sure that both Shar and Fell had left safely. Travelling for the first hour and a half by myself was pure bliss! No stupid comments or remarks; no crisps being eaten (and not by me). It was great! Finding a little truck stop ahead of me I pulled into one of the parking spaces and pulled out my wallet and phone from my bag, heading into the little store that was there. Picking a few things up off the shelf, I sent a message to Leah:
'hey. will u let sam knw tht im boardin now. ill let u knw when i land :) M x'
Once I paid for my snacks and headed towards the car I got a reply:
'cool. see u soon :) L x'
As I got back into the car, I made sure that my phone was off. Hey! Sue me for making my lie a little more realistic.
~~~~~Three hours later~~~~~
It seemed the further I drove through the state, the greener everything seemed to become. I mean I lived in a rural area in England and it was never this green! Yes, I understand that I'm driving through the Olympic Peninsula but nothing should be this green! I guess I'm just going to get used to it, or at least accept the fact that it's going to be green for a very long time. So I kept going, getting further away from my past and closer to a new start; a new life. Even through all my ups and downs, magic and non-magic related, La Push is the one thing that has been there all the time. No matter how much shit came my way, La Push and Leah were always there to help me push past all of it.
Soon I was passing over the border of La Push and getting this strange feeling. The only way I can describe it is – like having a shiver running down your spine while feeling sick and getting a hot flush all at the same time. Trust me, not the best combination of sensations you can get at once. Luckily, i know what that whole thing means. It generally means that there is something supernaturally close-by; in this case it's my Uncle and Leah. Turning onto the familiar roads leading to Uncle Sam's, I stopped by the side of the road to see, well hear, if Shar and Fell had made to La Push or if they were still somewhere between the state border and here.
Guys? You here yet?
Silence. Never a good thing with those two. It always means that they're up to something, which doesn't bode well for anyone; especially me.
Shar? Fell? I'm serious! If you try and scare me again, I swear to Merlin that I will kick you asses! A thud on the roof of my car told me that they were here in La Push.
Kill joy. Honestly it's like you've had your funny bone removed or something.
"Sorry to burst that bubble of yours Fell, but one of us has to be the mature one."
So I guess that'll be me then, Morgianna. Shar said landing lightly on the roof of my car.
"Of course, Shar. Now get in. I need to get to Uncle Sam's so I can use the loo." I called, getting into the driver's seat.
Too Much Info, Morg. Too Much Info. Fell thought as he curled up in the passenger seat. I chuckled at him and pulled back onto the road, finally finishing this journey.
A/N: So there you have it! Chapter 2 is finished! I have a HUGE shoutout to HayleyLouise. She basically finished this chapter for me and got my back end in gear to finish it. Thanks Hails! Love ya! 3
Hopefully chapter 3 won't take me too long to write. Hopefully. I'm thinking of changing to point of view to Sam's or Leah's just for chapter 3.
Please review. Flames are welcome. Means I have something to work at coz I know there is :)
Thanks :D
