Time: 2:17AM (PST)

Hey! Sorry for the long wait. I've just been REALLY busy. And also I really couldn't think of the right way to do this chapter.

So! Enjoy. I'm going to sleep now. I have school in the morning.

Don't forget to review! (Well, you don't need to I'm just saying… Don't forget. Lol.)

*************************************************************

Emmett and I were on our way to Denali, Alaska to meet up with our family. We were going to stay with our "cousins" for awhile. Apparently they all thought I needed more "female support" for my issues.

Idiots…

"Rose, I have some new blonde jokes," Emmett said from the passenger seat.

I didn't mind hearing blonde jokes… They are just jokes after all.

"What?" I asked, encouraging him. After he told me I was shutting him out; I decided to just accept what ever he had to say. Even if it were insulting jokes.

"How did the blonde try killing her fish?"

"…"

"She tried drowning it!" Emmett began to laugh uncontrollably.

'Funny.'

"Humph," was my only reply as I continued to keep my eyes on the road.

"Nothing? That was funny," he reassured me. "Okay, okay I got another one. You'll like this one."

"Why do blondes only drive BMWs?"

I cocked an eyebrow as I looked over the BMW logo on the steering wheel of my car.

"Why?" I asked curiously.

"Because they can spell it," he began to laugh again.

I was not amused by this joke.

I quickly smacked Emmett dead on the face. If he were human I'm sure his nose would have broken.

"Ouch!" he cried in pain. "What?! What was that for?!"

His eyes were tightly shut as he clutched onto his face.

"You do not insult the car," I told him. I glared as at him while he still clutched his face.

* * *

"Rosalie!" I heard Kate squeal as I popped open the trunk.

"Hello, Kate," I greeted politely.

"What took you so long? We expected you to be here two hours ago," she said as she hugged me.

"Well, the important thing is… I'm here now," I chimed matching her enthusiasm. The difference? Her enthusiasm was real.

"C'mon everyone is waiting," she grabbed my hand and tried tugging me away.

"I'll be right there. I need to help Emmett with our things," I said pulling away.

"Oh, don't be silly. He's got it," Kate looked passed me, "Hey Em."

"How goes it, Kate?" he asked casually.

He already had all our bags in hand.

"See! Look, he's got it. Let's go."

Kate has always reminded me of Alice. But, of course there is only one Alice.

I followed her into the house or "The house of Denali" as they called it.

Everyone was in the living room. They all said their "hello's" as I walked in, then continued minding their own business.

Tanya, as expected was all over Edward. Much to his dismay. Poor girl, when will she get it through her head. Whenever she acted like this, it always got out of control at some point or another. I just wanted to scream: "HE DOESN'T LIKE YOU!"

Don't get me wrong. I love the girl. I just felt really bad for my brother.

Edward looked in my direction and gave me a pleading look. I just shrugged his way. What did he want me to do about it?

Irina, was talking to Esme about the new renovations to the house.

Eleazar and Carmen were catching up with Carlisle, Alice, and Jasper.

"Alice and I were just about to head out. We're going shopping. Would you like to join us?" Kate asked.

I shook my head "no."

"I think I'm just going to go hunt," I told her.

"We'll go with you," Alice insisted, who was now at Kate's side.

I see what they were doing here. They were trying to make sure I wasn't left alone for too long. Just incase I go back into depression or something.

"No, go shopping," I urged her, "I'd rather go alone."

"Rose, maybe one of us should-" Carlisle interjected.

"I'll be fine," I reassured him, "Will you let Emmett know. Tell him I'll be back in an hour or so."

With that I turned my heel and headed for the door.

* * *

I ran through the forest at full speed. I wasn't really thirsty, I just really needed to be alone.

It's been years since "the incident" and they still refused to leave me alone for too long. Over time things got back to normal, but some days were just better than others.

I stopped in a clearing just about twenty miles away from the house. I sat on one of the many torn down trees, closed my eyes and laid down letting my legs dangle over the edge.

My eyes weren't even closed for a minute, when I heard shuffling about a couple of feet away.

"Babe, I'm fine. I just want to be alone. Go back to the house," I said, my eyes still closed.

"I don't think they would be happy to see me there, love."

My eyes shot open and I sat up.

I was wrong to assume it was Emmett. Across the clearing was a face I haven't seen in years.

"Felix?" I wondered, furrowing my brow.

"Hello, Mrs. Cullen," he greeted while taking a bow.

"What are you doing here?"

"Just thought I would see how my favorite "vegetarian" was doing," he was making his way towards me now.

He leaned against the tree I was sitting on.

He looked up at me, "You're as beautiful as ever."

"Spare me," I said rolling my eyes.

I hopped down from the tree and was about to walk away. Until, I felt his hand around my wrist.

"Wait," his voice was softer now. "I heard about what happened."

I pulled my wrist away and slowly turned to face him.

"How?"

"Our world isn't that big, word gets out," he said casually.

I didn't like the fact that my business was being discussed all around the world.

"Don't believe everything you hear. Their just rumors," I lied.

I turned to leave again. But, was once again stopped.

"I've seen him, you know."

I stopped dead in my tracks but did not turn around this time.

"He just turned five. Am I wrong?"

I didn't answer that. But, he was right. He should have turned five two weeks ago.

"From what I know, he's still with his grandparents. They've never found his mother. The father drops by from time to time. Oh, and they kept the name you gave him."

I clenched both my fists out of anger and sorrow. I felt like crying; but refused to do so.

Again, I slowly turned around to face him. This time I stayed quite and continued to let Felix talk.

"I've only watched the boy for a week or so-"

"Why?" I asked quickly. I didn't like the fact that Felix was so close to him.

"Out of curiosity," he shrugged. "I've only watched him for a little while. But, he greatly reminds me of you."

"You don't even know me."

"Stubborn, proud, beautiful. Stop me when I'm wrong," he challenged.

I remained silent.

"You know… If you can wait a couple more years. I can get him taken care of for you."

"What are you talking about?"

"I could have him changed," Felix smirked.

Immediately I had him pinned to the tree, a hand to his throat.

"You. Do. Not. Touch. Him," I growled.

He did not take my aggressiveness seriously. He began to smile as he stared into my enraged eyes.

"I'm sure my master wouldn't mind. I could sense something in that boy. He can become something special and strong."

My grip tightened. But, it had no affect.

"Don't you dare."

"If he gets changed, at the right time of course. You would be able to keep him forever. Have that child you always wanted," He suggested while putting a hand over mine.

I shook my head vigorously, "No, I don't want that."

Without any struggle at all he managed to hold both my hands at my side. He held onto them tightly making sure I wasn't able to move.

"Yeah, you do," he said calmly, he pulled me into him. I tried pushing away but wasn't able to move. He was much stronger than me.

"No, I don't," I whimpered at the thought of the innocent child with blood thirsty crimson eyes.

"Rose, I'll do it for you," he whispered into my ear. "I'll give you anything you want. Just so you can be happy."

The sick thing about this whole situation, it sounded like he really did mean it. I didn't like it.

"I've been watching you for awhile now too," he confessed. "I just want to see you happy again."

"How long?" I wondered.

"What?"

"How long have you been watching me?"

"Ever since I heard what happened."

"Which was how long ago?"

"I've been traveling back and forth to see you for, four years."

I finally managed to pull away. I took a step back and stared into his crimson eyes.

"So, you really want to make me happy?" I asked.

He simply nodded.

"Go home. And never come back."

"I can't do that."

I raised my eyebrows in surprise, "why not?"

"You need me."

I gave a short chuckle, "No, no I don't."

"From what I know, you need someone to talk to."

"I have plenty of people to talk to."

"But, do they take you seriously?"

I didn't say anything. He did have a point. No one ever took me seriously anymore. They all were afraid of pushing the wrong buttons.

"That's what I thought."

I was done playing around. I turned around to leave, for real this time.

"I'll be here if you need me," he called after me.

"Trust me. I won't," I said as I continued to walk away.

* * *

"Hey babe," Emmett said as I walked into our new room.

He quickly kissed me as he wrapped his arms around my waist. After today's events I was glad to be in his arms.

"Hello," I replied as I kissed him once more. "Do you need any help unpacking?"

"Nope, I just finished."

He held onto me tightly. This reminded me of Felix when he held me in the forest. I quickly shut out the thought of the once again unwanted visitor.

"Huh." I heard Emmett say.

"What is it?" I looked up at him.

He looked deep in thought. He quickly sniffed the top of my head.

"You smell kind of different?"

"Different? How?" I knew exactly how.

"I don't know. Just different. Kind of like a drain water, and," he took one more whiff, "-and dust."

"Dust?" I acted falsely surprised.

"Yeah."

"Well, you know the forest… All those weird smells swirling around. Coming from God knows where," I quickly lied.

"Yeah, you're probably right."
