So you guys should be uber excited about that!

The more reviews I get the faster I'll put the chapters up!

=P

Alright, so I've taken up enough of your time with my mindless babble. Here's your chapter:

Lights! Camera! …Read!


"Kate!"

"Bella!" she beamed. Her small blonde curls bounced over her shoulders as she closed the distance between us to hug me.

I felt her being tugged away from me instantly.

"Alice!" Kate laughed.

"Missed ya, Kate." Alice chirped.

Kate pulled away and smiled brightly.

I heard a throat clear from the doorway and it was only then I realized the man standing there with a sweet smile on his face.

He was a tall, rangy man with long sandy hair.

His eyes were ruby red with traces of burgundy and hints of orange.

I'd have to ask Kate about that later.

"Alice, Bella. This is Garrett." Kate said as she walked over to his side.

He wrapped his arm around her and placed his hand at her hip.

She looked up at him and grinned.

"It's a pleasure to meet you both. Kate won't shut up about you two." He chuckled.

We laughed and I motioned for both of them to situate themselves inside.

I closed the door behind them.

"Where's Edward?" Kate asked.

"He's still asleep. Alice says he should be awake in a couple of hours." I said.

"Oh." She whispered. "Shall we go outside so we don't wake him then?"

I nodded and led them out the backdoor.

We walked out to the porch and each took a seat.

Kate and Garret sat on the swing.

I took a seat on a small wooden bench.

Alice sat Indian style on a large rocking chair.

Alice was the first to break the silence.

"SO, tell us how you guys first met!" she said enthusiastically.

Alice leaned over to place her elbows on her thighs and held her head up with her hands.

Garrett chuckled and pulled away, from ogling at Kate, to look at Alice.

"It's quite a funny story actually…" he started.

Kate rolled her eyes.

"He was a nomad and while he was passing along through Alaska he caught mine and Tanya's scent. He followed it to our home in Denali. We introduced ourselves and he later asked if any of us had any extra gifts…" Kate continued.

"Kate so humbly stepped forward and said she could 'put a vampire flat on his back' with her power. I had never seen or heard of anything like her gift. I thought it might be a bit of an exaggeration…" He laughed and turned back to Kate. "You sure weren't kidding."

"And like the fool he is, I hustled him into trying to resist the effects of my power." Kate grinned.

"Yes well, I could never refuse a challenge." Garrett stated as he puffed out his chest a little.

"So what happened then?" I asked.

"The pansy touched my palm with the tip of his index finger and barely had time to gasp before his knees buckled and I sent him flying backwards to fall flat on his ass." She laughed. "The crazy part was that he actually enjoyed it! He was all smiles after three seconds of aftershock from being knocked down like that."

"It was love at first shock." Garrett said as he lifted Kate's hand to place a tender kiss on her palm.

Kate lowered her head as if she were trying to hide a blush that would never show.

"Aw! That's too cute." Alice giggled.

After an hour of mindless chatter I decided to ask.

"So if I may ask, how come your eyes are that color, Garrett?"

He grimaced.

"When I learned of your lifestyle I challenged myself to the diet. After a few months I got bored of it and went back to humans…" He sighed. "But for Kate I have put great effort into my change. I've vowed to stay strictly vegetarian now. My eyes are having a bit of trouble adjusting from switching diets so often."

"Oh…I see."

"Speaking of diets. I heard your Edward is technically still…human? I should go hunting before he wakes. I don't want to take any chances." Garrett stood abruptly from the swing. "Would any of you like to join me?"

Kate quickly stood up beside him.

"I'll go with you, I need to hunt too." Alice said jumping out of her seat.

"Same here." Kate chimed in.

"Actually…Kate," I stood up slowly. "I was wondering if I could speak to you privately."

Her eyebrows knit together.

"We could go out to the mountains and hunt while Garrett and Alice go out by the lake." I suggested.

Kate nodded and kissed Garrett swiftly on the lips before turning to walk along side me.

I started at a walk and then quickened into a run in the directions of the nearby mountain.

As we reached closer to the top we slowed our pace.

The smell of mountain goat was in the air.

I followed it and took down two of them.

Kate got a hold of a mountain lion and drank it dry.

I was just a little jealous I hadn't picked up on the lion's scent first.

We ran up to the top, a thick fog passed through between us.

We came across a ledge on the mountain and decided this would be a good spot to talk.

We sat at the edge and let our legs hang freely over the end.

The fog began to clear and I gathered my thoughts before I spoke.

"There's something I'd like to talk to you about, but first…" I reached into my pocket to pull out the necklace.

It dangled from my hand as I held it out towards her.

She gasped.

"Where…It's…How did you get th-that?" She stuttered as she took the necklace from my hand.

I smirked.

"Didyme says she 'always finds a way'." I laughed.

Kate smiled brightly.

"I know she told you not to talk about it, but Kate…" I took her hand in mine. "You can trust me. I need to know what you know about her visions."

"Bella…I promised I wouldn't…" She freed her hand from mine.

We were silent for a few moments.

"Would you like me to put it on for you?" I asked.

She handed me the necklace and then lifted her hair.

I opened the clasp and wrapped the smooth velvet chain around her neck locking it in place.

"It's beautiful." She commented.

I smiled and pulled out the necklace with the key that I was still wearing around my neck.

I held the key in my hand and marveled at the sun and moon print on it.

"The sun and moon was her crest wasn't it?"

Kate's eyes widened as she saw the key.

"Bella, why do you have Didyme's jewelry box key…?" she asked cautiously.

"The key given to me with a message from Didyme…"

"Oh." she whispered softly.

She stretched her arms behind her and leaned back on them.

We gazed out into the sun rise.

"I made her that jewelry box you know. The sun and moon was a crest that symbolized our friendship." She smiled. "I once told her she was my sun, because she always brightened up my day. She then said to me 'Well, if I'm your sun, you must be my moon. You're destiny is to guide the stars in the sky to follow the right path so that they may reach their full potential. Your stars will be the brightest of suns in their own universe'."

"Didyme sure has a way with words, doesn't she?" I smiled.

She laughed.

After a few moments of sitting in silence I turned once again to her.

"Please Kate I need to know…what did Didyme tell you about her visions?" I pleaded.

I saw her slightly nod.

"Didyme was a very talented vampire. Her gifts were incredibly accurate but like Alice when a decision is changed the vision shifted, only with Didyme's it had to be a major change of decision for her visions to change."

The way Kate spoke about her reminded me of how I would speak about Alice when I talked about her to others. Maybe Didyme was like a sister to her.

"She didn't only see the future though…" She turned to look at me as she spoke. She must have seen how shocked I looked. "I'm guessing you didn't know that part? She rarely used that side of her gift."

"Yeah, I only knew about the visions of the future, not the past. How did that work?"

"She could have her visions of the future when ever she pleased, but when she wanted to look into a person's past they would have to be in the same room as her. She had to be able to look at them in order to find their memories."

"Amazing…"

"Yes, she truly was amazing." She sighed. "I miss her."

"She misses you too." I said.

Kate smirked.

"You can hear ghosts along with your mind reading?" She teased.

I smiled.

"No, but she'd be crazy not to miss her best friend."

"Yes, and that she was. She was the best friend I've ever had. In lots of ways Alice is like a splitting image of her. Well, except that they looked nothing alike. Though she did have an obsession with shopping too!" She laughed.

"She was actually the reason my sisters and I became vegetarians."

"But wasn't she a human drinker?" I asked.

"Yes she was, but she once had a vision of me with gold eyes. When she looked into it a little more, she noticed that I had chosen to change my diet from humans to animals, and that was the cause for my change of eye color.

She even went out hunting with me once. She and I had our first vegetarian meal together. It was her first and last. She didn't find animal's blood too appealing. She decided to stick to her previous diet. I never held it against her.

There's no denying that human blood does taste better.

I, on the other hand, was much more determined to change my lifestyle. Tanya shortly followed in my footsteps and then Irina immediately after her change."

"And you've stayed that way this long. I'm impressed with your determination." I smiled.

"Yes well, we all slip up every once in awhile though…determination isn't always everything. But I will never willingly go back to drinking from humans, that's for sure."

"Kate…what other visions did Didyme tell you about?"

"I take it you're asking about the prophecy of the two powerful vampires she kept having visions of?" She asked with an eyebrow raise in my direction.

I simply nodded.

She took a deep breath and then let it out slowly.

"She was having a difficult time deciding weather she wanted Aro to know about her latest visions of the two." She started. "She had been having off and on visions of two very powerful vampires.

They both possessed gifts that could be used to make the world fall to their feet, human and vampires alike. They both would have multiple gifts, which is pretty much very rare. They would be like Ying and Yang. Each of them in their own way would be extremely dangerous if lead in the wrong direction.

Didyme's visions bounced from world domination, to harmony between us all, and to death and destruction…

Poor Didyme had a lot on her shoulders. It was such a burdened for her to have to carry around something so important and not be able to talk about it. I was extremely taken back by how much she trusted me with the secret. I was the only person she told about her newer visions.

You see the last vision she had told me about was that the two of them would join forces to take down the corrupted rule of the Volturi and that one day they would merge the human and vampire race in this world. That they would cause major change in the way people would view us.

She, of course, was skeptical at first. She didn't think it would be possible for vampires to live among humans. Of course we've proved that wrong now…Though we're practically hiding in plain sight from them.

She thought it was too risky, though.

I think it was mostly Aro's insecurities and paranoia that was starting to rub off on her a little. Her main concern was how the humans would react when they found out about their desire for drinking their human." She laughed.

"I suggested that maybe all the vampires would one day just become 'vegetarian.' She laughed at me and thought I was joking, giving me a 'you can't be serious' face. This was coming from the one who had just had a vision of the possibility of drinking animal blood!" Kate shook her head and laughed again.

"Didyme was quite the character." She continued.

"Did she tell you anything else about those visions?" I asked.

"Not much, really." Kate frowned. "She did tell me that I had to stay away from the castle for awhile, though. The visions she told me about were dangerous to know and be so close to Aro.

She told me that she felt she wasn't safe anymore and that she needed to make sure that I would stay safe." Kate frowned. "The day she told me about the visions was the last day I ever saw her…alive.

No one knows exactly how she died. But I can't help but wonder if those visions were the reason for her death." She toyed with a loose curl on the side of her face and then tucked it behind her ear. "Sometimes I wonder if I would have gone back to the castle, if I could have prevented her death…"

"Didyme was a strong believer in destiny and fate…" I started. "I'm sure she had her reasons to want to keep you safe. I'm sure she would have put one hell of a fight if she knew it wasn't her time yet to part from this life."

She nodded timidly.

Her breathing broke and became uneven.

I quickly took her in my arms and just held her.

I could feel her silent sobs shake her body as her head lay on my shoulder.

We had sat in silence for about an hour when we decided to go back to the house.

"Ew! Totally did not want to see that!"

"Well then Kate, close your eyes! Then you won't have to see it." Emmett said as Rose kissed her way down to his neck.

Emmett moaned while she sucked on the tender skin at the hollow of his neck.

"Emmett…Rosalie." Esme appeared beside Kate and I. She placed her hands on her hips and glared at the two. "I know you just got back and all Rosalie but you two need to stop all this public display. It's only been a day since you both have seen each other for God's sake!"

Rosalie sighed as she broke away her lips in contact with Emmett's shoulder blade.

Emmett groaned in displeasure.

"Damn it, mom. You always ruin my fun." He whined.

Esme glared at him and he winced.

She turned to go back into the kitchen and I swear I heard her say 'Hmph…I still got it.' under her breath.

Kate and I had to stifle our giggles with our hands.

Emmett's frown suddenly turned into a wide goofy grin, an evil glint sparkled in his eyes.

He quickly stood up and flung Rosalie over his shoulder.

"She didn't say anything about in the privacy of our own room!" he boomed.

A blur and a breeze later I could hear the smacking of Rose's lips on Emmett's again.

I groaned.

As much as I understood their need for each other, I still hated having to listen to those needs.

Warm hands suddenly wrapped around me and all of my previous annoyed thoughts were gone.

"Good morning, love." He whispered in my ear and placed a gentle warm kiss right beneath my ear lobe.

I spun around in his arms and kissed his full lips.

"Good afternoon, you mean." I laughed.

"Yes, good afternoon." He grinned.

"Edward!"

"Kate it's nice to see you again." He kissed her cheek and hugged her.

"So, who's this Garrett I've been hearing so much about?" he asked, raising his brows suggestively.

Kate pushed him playfully.

"Oh come on, I'm not a prude anymore. Besides you can't tell me you haven't, I know what you were thinking."

I shifted my eyes back and forth between the two of them.

Kate smiled innocently and Edward rolled his eyes.

I shook my head at the two and made my way up stairs for a shower.

Kate led Edward out back to introduce him to Garrett.

I turned on the water and desperately tried to tune out the noises coming from directly below my bedroom.

I stepped into the shower and let my mind drift into thoughts of Edward.

So this was just a small semi-plot filler.

Next chapter will be some much needed family time fluff, before I dive back into the plot.

Until next time!
