Chapter 3

Carlisle POV

When the girl that introduced herself as Rose stepped outside suddenly, I knew that something was up. I slipped out while Esme kept the others entertained and followed her from a safe distance. I don't know why she came out here and I wanted to warn her of the dangerous creatures that roam the earth, but I had to be careful. She stopped near the tree line when three tall pale figures emerged. I saw her pull something out of her pocket and grasp it firmly in her hands. The figures lunged at her and I was about to jump in to help, but I noticed that she acted like she had encountered them before. The figures were different from our kind but similar in some ways it seemed. Rose took several blows that would have killed or severely injured a normal human. I didn't know what these people were, but they seemed more like is than humans. In a matter of several minutes, all three figures lay dead at her feet. I moved silently in the tree line but she still detected me.

"Show yourself!" She said. She was somewhat surprised when I stepped out of the tree line.

"What are you?" I asked. "You are certainly not human but not like us either. What are these things that attacked you?"

"Well what are you? There is something different about you and your family but I can't place it." She said. She wanted answers just like I did.

"You are injured, come back to the house and we will get you fixed up." I said. I grabbed her shoulder to steady her and she pulled away in shock but followed me back to the house. We all needed to sit down and talk about this that's for sure. As soon as we were through the door I saw my family tense up from the blood and the little blonde girl rushed to Rose's side. I was astonished when the blonde girl touched her shoulder and Rose's wounds closed instantly. Rose seemed to go from calm to anger in the span of seconds. I looked over at Jasper and he noticed it as well. Edward was looking at them trying to read their thoughts. I don't know what he found there but he seemed curious.

Rose explained their world and I was thoroughly surprised that there were other types of vampires that were ruled separately from the Voltori. I was slightly more surprised that they had magic and that Rose had already died twice in her short life. Her boyfriend seemed to be in pain as she explained that Strigoi could be restored to their former selves. Edward must have heard something in his thoughts and he looked with sympathy towards him. Rose seemed sad that she couldn't have children with this man and I was sympathetic to that as well. Rose's phone started to ring and she answered with a groan. It must have been someone that she didn't want to talk to at the moment and it was rather late.

"Hey old man. What are you doing calling so late?" She asked.

"Kiz I was just wondering where the hell you are? I decided to come for a quick visit but you aren't here and I got a little worried." He explained. I knew that Kiz was Turkish for daughter. I thought that was strange the way Rose talked to him.

"Sorry dad, we were meeting the neighbors and swapping stories. Stay there and we will be there in a minute. Don't go wandering around in the dark. You know there could be Strigoi around." I said. He laughed.

"I could say the same about you kids. Hurry up, I brought us dinner." Her stomach growled so loud I swear he could hear it over the phone. Everyone fought hard not to laugh.

"Yeah, yeah be there in a minute. Hold your horses old man." She hung up quickly. The whole room burst into laughter at the exchange.

"Roza." Dimitri said in exasperation but I could see that he wanted to laugh.

"Is she always this…." Jasper groped for the right word. "Outspoken I guess is the word?"

"Yes." Her friends said simultaneously and we all laughed. I liked them but I was still wary of their presence. They said their goodbyes and left to their house and I went back in the living room to talk to my family.

"Edward did you gather anymore information from their thoughts?" I asked.

"They were truthful but they are still hiding some things. I don't think that they would harm us. They have just as much to lose as we do if the secrets were revealed to the humans. Dimitri's thoughts were interesting though. Remember Rose said that she had witnessed two Strigoi being restored. Well Dimitri was one of them." He finished and we all gasped.

"Is he dangerous to us?" I asked.

"No I don't think so. He was turned against his will and has a lot of guilt. Honestly the ones we have to worry about are Rose and that Moroi Christian. Christian is a fire user so he could be dangerous. Rose could be the worst." Edward stated.

"How so, she seemed so nice?" Esme asked. Jasper spoke.

"Rose takes the darkness from Lissa when she uses her magic. When she healed Rose she was calm, but was uncharacteristically angry right after. She can't control her emotions as well when she takes it so she could be volatile." Jasper finished.

"Did you see her kill the Strigoi?" Emmet asked.

"I've honestly never seen anything like it. She took out three of them in a matter of a few minutes. She looked like she had been doing that all her life. Her injuries didn't even phase her but it seemed as she could sense their presence." I said.

"We need to learn more about them before we decide what to do about them." I stated and we all agreed. We went to hunt so that we would be prepared for the orientation and classes starting.

Rose POV

Abe left several hours ago with his guardians and although we had a good relationship, I couldn't tell him about our new neighbors. I couldn't believe that there were other types of vampire other than the ones we knew in our world. We decided to get some sleep after the Moroi fed. Dimitri and I went to bed and we were talking about the revelations we learned from our new neighbors.

"Dimitri do you think that they are dangerous?" I asked.

"I really don't know Roza. They have emotions and don't attack humans so I think they are relatively safe but we need to keep our eyes open. I think that their kind as a whole might be dangerous, but they seem alright." He said. We both snuggled closer together and drifted to sleep minutes later.

The day of the orientation was here and Lissa, Eddie and I were all ready to go. Eddie drove because Dimitri was afraid that with the bond coming back that I could crash. We arrived at the campus minutes before Carlisle and his family did. Jacob and Renesmee were the only ones not present. Orientation was boring as could be and so was the tour of the school. I only paid attention during the tour so that I could protect Lissa, but I was bored out of my mind. Lissa was so excited that I could hardly block the emotion that was coming through the bond.

After orientation and the tour, we decided that we should go back to the house. Dimitri and I went for a quick run while the others stayed at the house. As we were running, I got the feeling that we were being watched. Jasper stepped in our path and asked if we could come and talk some more. We told him that we would have to talk to the others. They agreed and we came over. Adrian was drunk of course so we left him there with Dimitri. Lissa, Christian, Eddie and I went over to the Cullen's home for another talk. We were invited in just like the last time and we all sat in the large living room.

"Rose and Lissa, could you tell us how your world chooses those who rule?" Carlisle asked.

"The King or Queen is chosen from one of the twelve royal families. Candidates are tested individually and they are voted on by the Moroi council. The last Queen was murdered and a new Queen has been appointed." Lissa said. I knew she was trying to hide the fact that she was the new queen.

"Lissa is the Queen!" Edward said in disbelief. We both nodded.

"Yes Lissa was appointed as the new Queen and I was appointed as her head guardian. After the murder of the last Queen and I was cleared, I resumed the position as Lissa's guardian." I stated.

"So how were you accused of the murder?" Esme asked. I could tell they weren't asking in order to harm us.

"The former Queen and I didn't get along very well. She assumed that I was after her favorite nephew and I wasn't good enough for him. I wasn't dating him at the time though he really liked me. Shortly before her murder, she used testimony of my accomplishments to pass a law that forced Damphirs to become guardians at the age of 16. I had killed two Strigoi and fought in an attack on our school before I graduated and she thought that every novice should be able to do the same. After being thrown out of the meeting, my stake was stolen from my room and used to kill her. I was about to go to trial when my dad broke me out of prison with the help of my friends and I tracked down the evidence of the real murdered and also found Lissa's unknown half sister." I said.

"So you've died twice, fought in battle, graduated, guard Lissa, kill Strigoi, been framed for murder and arrested, and broke out of jail?" Emmet asked and I just nodded.

"Let's not forget breaking someone else out of prison." Eddie muttered beside me and I wanted to strangle him.

"WHAT!?" they said in unison.

"We broke someone out of prison to get the information to restore someone from being Strigoi. Damn Eddie shut up." I said and everyone looked shocked. I started to feel some of the darkness creeping up in me and I tried to calm myself. After several anxious minutes I had calmed again. "Sorry Eddie. I didn't mean to snap at you like that."

"What the hell was that? You were scary there for a minute." Jacob said.

"That was the darkness." I said simply. "That's not the worst it has ever been but since I haven't taken it in a while it seems to affect me more quickly."

"Wait, it gets worse than that?" Jacob asked and I nodded.

"Lissa doesn't even know this but I have killed someone while under the effects."

"What?" Lissa and Eddie said together. "Who did you kill Rose?" Lissa asked.

"I didn't mean to kill him. It was when I broke out of jail and went to find Jill. After Robert restored Sonya, they kidnapped Jill and Dimitri and I caught up to them. It was me or him Lissa. Robert tried to bring him back but Dimitri knocked him out before he could do it. Robert was already crazy and we couldn't risk Victor coming after you again." I said. I was crying now from the guilt that I had over the incident. Darkness or not, I killed a Royal Moroi and hid that from Lissa. I could feel my emotions mix with hers and the darkness started to well up again. Eddie saw it and pushed me to the ground, restraining me. Everyone else watched in shock.

"Someone go get Dimitri now!" Eddie ordered. "He's the only one that has ever been able to get her back from this. GO!" Within seconds Dimitri replaced Eddie.

"Roza, this isn't you. Come back to me. Come back Roza. Come back to me Love." Dimitri begged. The darkness slowly started to subside and I became limp in his arms.

"Dimitri?" I whimpered. I hugged him hard while sobbing. Everyone else was still in shock.

"It's alright Roza. I know that you didn't want to kill him, but it was to protect yourself and Jill. We'll get through this together." Dimitri said. He looked around the room to the others. "Please don't judge her by this. The darkness combined with her emotions and Lissa's make it much worse. This is not something that she can easily control." He pulled a silver ring from his pocket and placed it on my finger. I instantly felt better. I guess Adrian had charmed it after he saw my aura the other night.

"I know Dimitri. I felt the emotional battle and she tried to fight it off." Jasper stated. I looked at him.

"How did you feel it?" I asked.

"Some of our kind have certain gifts. I can feel and manipulate emotions around me. Alice has visions, Edward can hear a person's thoughts and Bella has kind of a mental shield. I tried to calm your emotions but they didn't calm enough to stop the darkness from taking over." Jasper stated. Just when I thought I was going to have a normal life I get screwed again. Edward laughed apparently hearing my thoughts.

"Thank you Jasper. Like I said that was not the worst episode, but the worst in a long while." I said while Dimitri was still holding me in the floor. I looked at him. "Uh, can we get off of the floor now?" I asked and he chuckled. I stood and started to sway but Carlisle caught my arm, keeping me upright. I thanked him. "I forgot how much those episodes take out of me." It's almost as bad as the ghosts but not quite I thought. Edward's eyes widened a little. "Damn stupid thought reading vampire", I muttered and we all laughed. "Yeah Edward you heard correctly. I do in fact see ghosts."

"Well that was unexpected." Rosalie muttered. "How do we know that this isn't a bunch of crap they are telling us?"

"With all due respect Rosalie, I have nothing to hide here. I have told you all things that I shouldn't have and have heard very little from you guys. So at the risk of being slightly insulting, unless you have a really good reason, just don't speak." I said and everyone tensed. "Life is hell for me but I do what I have to do to protect the ones I love, even if it hurts me in the process. Yes darkness plagues me, but I'd rather it be me than Lissa. Yes I see ghosts and I kill Strigoi. I was dropped at the academy by the age of 4 and was lucky to see my mother once in a two year period. I didn't know my father until after I came back from Russia and trying to kill Dimitri when he was Strigoi." I ranted and my breath was becoming short. The darkness was slowly seeping back again and I had to calm myself. I took several calming breaths before I continued. "We really aren't all that different you know. We experience love, loss, pain, sadness, and guilt just like you. You are not better than us and we are not better than you so don't pretend to be."

"Woah, it's not every day that someone talks to bloodsuckers like that." Jacob laughed.

"Shut up mutt." Rosalie growled still glaring at me.

Jasper POV

I really began to see what Edward meant about Rose being the one that was most dangerous of the bunch. I really didn't think that they would cause us any intentional harm at all but we were wary for obvious reasons.

"So you've died twice, fought in battle, graduated, guard Lissa, kill Strigoi, been framed for murder and arrested, and broke out of jail?" Emmet asked and Rose just nodded.

"Let's not forget breaking someone else out of prison." Eddie muttered beside and Rose looked like she wanted to strangle him.

"WHAT!?" We said in unison.

"We broke someone out of prison to get the information to restore someone from being Strigoi. Damn Eddie shut up." Rose said and everyone looked shocked. I started to feel intense anger and she was trying to calm herself down. After several anxious minutes she had calmed again. "Sorry Eddie. I didn't mean to snap at you like that."

"What the hell was that? You were scary there for a minute." Jacob said.

"That was the darkness." Rose said simply. "That's not the worst it has ever been but since I haven't taken it in a while it seems to affect me more quickly."

"Wait, it gets worse than that?" Jacob asked and she nodded. I was slightly surprised at that too.

"Lissa doesn't even know this but I have killed someone while under the effects."

"What?" Lissa and Eddie said together. "Who did you kill Rose?" Lissa asked.

"I didn't mean to kill him. It was when I broke out of jail and went to find Jill. After Robert restored Sonya, they kidnapped Jill and Dimitri and I caught up to them. It was me or him Lissa. Robert tried to bring him back but Dimitri knocked him out before he could do it. Robert was already crazy and we couldn't risk Victor coming after you again." Rose said. She was crying now from the guilt that she had over the incident. I felt intense waves of emotion rolling through her and I tried to use my power to calm her but it was no use. Eddie suddenly pushed her to the ground, restraining her. We all watched in shock.

"Someone go get Dimitri now!" Eddie ordered. "He's the only one that has ever been able to get her back from this. GO!" Within seconds Dimitri replaced Eddie. I watched as Rose struggled against Eddie and she was about to throw Eddie off of her. Dimitri ran into the room and quickly replaced Eddie.

"Roza, this isn't you. Come back to me. Come back Roza. Come back to me Love." Dimitri begged. I could feel her emotions calm and the fight left her. She looked up at him like she was just waking up.

"Dimitri?" She whimpered. She hugged him hard while sobbing. Everyone else was still in shock.

"It's alright Roza. I know that you didn't want to kill him, but it was to protect yourself and Jill. We'll get through this together." Dimitri said. He looked around the room to towards us. "Please don't judge her by this. The darkness combined with her emotions and Lissa's make it much worse. This is not something that she can easily control." He pulled a silver ring from his pocket and placed it on her finger and her emotions calmed even further.

"I know Dimitri. I felt the emotional battle and she tried to fight it off." I stated. Rose looked at me.

"How did you feel it?" Rose asked.

"Some of our kind have certain gifts. I can feel and manipulate emotions around me. Alice has visions, Edward can hear a person's thoughts and Bella has kind of a mental shield. I tried to calm your emotions but they didn't calm enough to stop the darkness from taking over." I stated. Edward laughed and I knew he had heard something in her thoughts

"Thank you Jasper. Like I said that was not the worst episode, but the worst in a long while." Rose said while Dimitri was still holding her in the floor. She looked at him. "Uh, can we get off of the floor now?" She asked and he chuckled. Rose stood and started to sway but Carlisle caught her arm, keeping her upright. She thanked him. "I forgot how much those episodes take out of me." Edwards eyes widened a little at hearing her thoughts and Rose noticed. "Damn stupid thought reading vampire", she muttered and we all laughed. "Yeah Edward you heard correctly. I do in fact see ghosts."

"Well that was unexpected." Rosalie muttered. "How do we know that this isn't a bunch of crap they are telling us?"

"With all due respect Rosalie, I have nothing to hide here. I have told you all things that I shouldn't have and have heard very little from you guys.

"Woah, it's not every day that someone talks to bloodsuckers like that." Jacob laughed.

"Shut up mutt." Rosalie growled still glaring at Rose. I had to give Rose some credit, she was a lilt crazy it seemed, but she also seemed to have a heart of gold. When she wasn't arguing or plagued with this darkness she radiated happy vibes that were just as overwhelming as the harmful emotions.

Rose POV

"Anyway, we need to go somewhere to train so that I can get some of this darkness out. Lissa you did the online searches, is there anywhere we could go out of the public eye?" I asked dropping the subject. If I got any more worked up, the darkness would take over again.

"There is an open field several miles out that is secluded enough, but perhaps the basement would be more to your liking. There are a few old punching bags set up down there." Carlisle stated.

"Thank you Carlisle, but I think it might be better if we go to the clearing for now." I said. I wanted to get this out with a couple of sparing sessions.

"What about Christian, Lissa and Adrian? We can't let you go alone and they can't stay here alone either." Eddie asked.

"They will go with us. As long as we are back before dark they should be safe. It's overcast so the sun shouldn't bother them." I said and Eddie went to get Christian and Adrian while we piled into cars. We followed the Cullen's out of town to a secluded open area. Lissa and Adrian stayed on the sidelines while Christian was begging to use his magic. "Maybe later Christian, I have to get this darkness out first." He didn't like it but finally went to where Adrian and Lissa were on the edge of the field. Dimitri and I squared off in the field and I didn't think that was enough I had Eddie join in as well.

"Are you sure you want to take us both at the same time Rose?" Eddie asked and I nodded. We began to circle each other and Dimitri lunged first. I ducked his attack and kicked up from the ground, hitting him hard in the chest. After giving and receiving several blows I had Eddie 'staked' and he ducked out of the fight. Dimitri and I circled again and after about 10 minutes we were both tiring. After several more minutes I was finally able to 'stake' him. I hadn't noticed that the Cullen's were watching the exchange and I helped Dimitri up off the ground.

"Wow, that was badass Rose." Emmet stated and I heard Rosalie growl.

"I agree Roza. You don't beat me in a fight often." I melted into his hug while he chuckled.

"Laugh it up comrade. I'm just getting better. One day you won't be able to beat me at all." I elbowed him and he continued to chuckle. The Cullen's sparred with each other and they were freaking fast. As the sun started to set Alice blanked out. She must have had some kind of vision. I started to feel the Strigoi nausea.

"Alice?" Esme and Carlisle asked cautiously.

"Strigoi!" Alice and I said at the same time. We all tensed as twenty Strigoi entered the field. I looked over at Pyro and he nodded getting the silent message I sent him. Dimitri, Eddie and I stepped to the front of the group and towards the Strigoi. Just as they started to lunge for us, several of them had their heads were set on fire. Dimitri, Eddie and I started fighting the Strigoi while the Cullen's watched in amazement, but backed up to shield the Moroi. I was momentarily distracted when I looked up to see that the Moroi were safe. It was just what the Strigoi needed as he landed on top of me. I fought as hard as I could but he still managed to bite me. I felt the weight of the Strigoi come off of me as the endorphins hit me full force. I just lay there waiting for some of the effects to wear off. I hadn't noticed that Lissa stood above me with Carlisle. Lissa knelt down and healed my neck while Carlisle assessed my other injuries. When Dimitri and Eddie had finished off the last of the Strigoi and piled the bodies to be burned, he rushed over to me, helping me up.

"Dammit, why am I always the one they try to take a bite out of?" I yelled in frustration.

"Roza calm down. I'm just glad you're safe. Come on let's get back to town." Dimitri said. I melted into his arms.

"Rose, are you alright?" Adrian asked.

"Yeah Adrian I'm fine, just another day in the life of Rose Hathaway." I said. We loaded everyone back into the cars and headed back home. We stayed at the Cullens home briefly talking about different things. I went outside for a minute to get some fresh air and was surprised to see Rosalie outside looking up at the night sky. She didn't turn to the door when it opened but I knew that she heard it and was aware of my presence.

"You know Rose I didn't like you at first, and I still don't really, but you were right about us being similar. I wanted children and a husband and all those wonderful things, but when I was born into this life, I lost all hopes of that. I suppose I'm a little bitter about it because I can't ever experience that." Rosalie said.

"You might not believe it Rosalie but you and I aren't that different. I never thought growing up that I would ever fall in love, get married, and I never thought of kids in my future. When I fell in love with Dimitri it was so hard. With us both being guardians we couldn't marry, or have children, aside from the fact that our society deemed Damphir relationships like ours illegal. When he was turned Strigoi, I lost part of my soul. I withdrew from the academy on my eighteenth birthday and left for Russia to track him down. When someone is turned Strigoi our society doesn't go looking for them, they are considered dead. On my way to his hometown, I was injured in a Strigoi attack and I ended up with Dimitri's family. No one had told them what happened to him or even reported his 'death' so I was the one that gave them the news." I said.

"That must have been hard for you." Rosalie said. I nodded.

"I left their home after a memorial for him and set off to hunt Strigoi with a few others. I hesitated when I saw him and he captured me." I said with my voice cracking a little. "I don't blame him for what he did as a Strigoi and I forgave him the moment he was restored. You see Rosalie, we had to fight the Moroi government, laws and Strigoi in order to be together. Lissa being Queen did help a lot but it seems to take forever when you're in love. Even with all that Dimitri wanted a family but gave that up to be with me. I didn't want children originally but I would give anything to make that a reality for him, but we don't want it if it means that we can't be together." I said. We talked for a while longer until Emmet came outside looking for her.

"There you two are. I thought that you might be out here ripping each other's throats out but I see that you're getting along." Emmet said laughing.

"No we are just talking Emmet. If we weren't getting along, you would know it." I said. "I don't really keep quiet about people I don't like. I tend to let them know it almost immediately." He and Rosalie both laughed.

"Yeah we kind of figured that." Dimitri came out just then and wrapped me in his arms.

"Roza come back inside with me?" I nodded and we all walked back inside. Lissa and Christian were wrapped in one another's arms sitting on the couch beside Eddie and Adrian. The Cullen's were all paired off.

"Rose I must say that I was surprised when that Strigoi got you down out there. What happened?" Eddie asked.

"I looked over to make sure that the Moroi were safe and that little distraction gave him the upper hand." I said. "I tried to get him off me and even tried to my stake up and into his back but the endorphins hit too quickly."

"Rose, what is the bite like? I don't mean to sound judgmental but it seemed like you enjoyed the bite." Jasper asked. I understood his confusion but I was ashamed of the feelings that the bite always brought with it.

"Strigoi bites have higher levels of endorphins that the Moroi bites. When we were 15, Lissa and I left the academy because she felt unsafe and we didn't know who we could trust. We didn't have access to feeders during that time so I fed Lissa." I said. "The bites are addictive and are similar to a drug high. They are very hard to overcome and most who are bitten become addicts whether they want to or not."

"If you knew that why did you volunteer for that?" Carlisle asked.

"It was necessary for Lissa to take blood in order to survive. For the longest time her family was practically my own and when they died, Lissa was all I had and she had only me. I've also done it before when it came to saving Christian once. I don't care what happens to me as long as my friends and family are safe and happy." I said. "Christian and I didn't get along at first, but Lissa loves him so I couldn't let Lissa not heal him just because she was too weak."

"Aww, love you too Rosie!" Christian smirked.

"Call me Rosie again Fire Crotch and you might not open your eyes in the morning." I said sweetly. "Or ever again for that matter." I added while everyone laughed.

"Seriously their bite can't be that addictive?" Jacob asked.

"Oh it is, even if it was forced on you, there is always some desire for it." Eddie said hanging his head a little.

"Eddie that wasn't your fault and you know it. He used compulsion on you and we were trapped so stop blaming yourself." I told him.

"Rose if I had resisted it a little more, then Mason might still be alive." Eddie said and I was shocked he brought him up.

"What is he talking about Rose?" Edward asked.

"Eddie and a Moroi named Mia went with Mason to hunt Strigoi when we were still at the academy. Christian and I went after them and found them before they ran into any Strigoi, but we were kidnapped by humans that were working with the Strigoi. They starved us and fed off Eddie. Christian used his magic to burn the plastic cuffs and we managed to subdue the humans but as we were escaping the two Strigoi showed up. I sent the others outside while I distracted them. Eddie was so dazed from the blood loss and daily bites that he couldn't fight and I put Mason in charge of getting them all out safely and he did. He came back and the Strigoi snapped his neck." I said with tears in my eyes at the memory. "Mia used her magic to blow up the fish tank and I ended up killing both Strigoi." Dimitri wrapped his arms around me while the memory haunted me. "Mase came back for me because he had feelings for me. I never have forgiven myself for that because I couldn't return them, and he never knew it." I was whispering at the end.

"Rose it wasn't your fault. If you hadn't come looking for us with Christian we would have all died. Mason made his choice to help you but that is not your fault." Eddie said seriously and I sent him a watery smile.

"Eddie's right Rose and he would probably be kicking your ass right now if he knew you were sitting here like this, not that you wouldn't return the favor but…" Christian trailed off and I laughed through my sadness while the Cullen's watched us curiously. I wanted to change the subject and fast so I looked up at Jacob.

"So Jacob what do you do? Carlisle explained that you were a shape shifter but that was all." I asked.

"I phase into a giant wolf that kills vampires like the Cullen's, but they don't hunt humans so we have a working agreement." Jacob stated. Just when you thought it couldn't get any weirder…it does. Edward laughed and everyone looked at him.

"Rose your thoughts are strange sometimes but surprisingly refreshing." Edward stated.

"Thanks." I said sarcastically and we all laughed.

"Rose something has me a little puzzled. How did you know the Strigoi were coming?" Carlisle asked.

"It's another one of the side effects of the bond with Lissa. I can sense them because it causes a nauseating feeling as soon as they are close. It's sort of an early warning and comes in handy but the ghosts are the part I really hate but even that can be helpful sometimes." I explained and my phone rang. I looked at it and groaned again.

"Hathaway" I answered.

"Rosemarie where are you? Your father said that something was up with you and I intend to find out what it is. I am here at the house and none of you are here. What's going on?" I groaned again.

"Mother must you call me Rosemarie, you know I hate it? Besides, nothing is wrong. We were just taking to some friends from school and dad was probably concerned because I told him the bond between Lissa and I was back." I explained.

"What! How?" She asked.

"That is a good question but unfortunately I don't have an answer for you." I said. "Look I'll explain later but I got to go. We'll be home in a few minutes just chill okay." She agreed and I hung up the phone and groaned again.

"My mother is at our house so we have to go but we will see you guys at school tomorrow right?" I asked.

"Yeah, Jacob will be here with Renesmee and Carlisle starts at the hospital nearby but we 'students' will be there." Edward said. We left and went to our home to speak to Janine. I still didn't feel comfortable letting her in on our little secret with the Cullen's but she finally was satisfied with our answers and left so that we could prepare for school.
