A/N- Hello everyone! Ok, so training camp has begun and I might get a little busy for a bit. Especially next week cause I have finals right on top of training camp (which can pretty much be described as hell sometimes). Anyway, I just wanted to give you a heads up that updates might be coming slower, but they will not stop! I want to make that point clear. Right now, I have written over 40 chapters. It looks like it will be about 45 or so, but I'm not sure yet. So, updates will be coming for a quite a long time.

Also, I did finish one of my other stories that I was updating. I don't like to update just one story so in the coming days I might start updating one or two. One would be the next Twilight story I have planned, Dazzle Me (Bella/Edward). Another one would be another Sailor Moon one. I do have others planned for both Twilight and SM, but I'm not sure which other one I'll update. Just be looking forward to more stories!

Finally, I believe this chapter is the one a lot of you are waiting for so I'm going to stop rambling and just continue!

Happycookbook- Hm… I'm not telling! Well not now at least.

Bellawish2b- Because it's still James. Don't worry, you'll still understand everything.

JeffHardysGirlDXRKO- I'm glad you like it so much!

twilghtfan78- Ya, I understand. My grandparent's don't have internet either and we used to "borrow" from her neighbors, but it was just to get on our email. Anyway, I'm glad you liked it though!

BirdieInABox16- A little to close? As into a sex scene? There are going to be sex scenes. That's why I rated this M. I will warn you, but that won't happen for another chapter or so. After that there might be mentions of it or whatever, but be prepared for it. Just watch for the warnings. I'm happy you still like it though!

AnnaMollyPR- Thanks, I'm happy you like it!

Superdani- Nothing happened! Trust me, Cerys makes that clear!


"You slept longer than we expected." Laurent said with a knowing grin as James and I entered the kitchen.

"We didn't do anything, Laurent." I muttered. I was sure James was smiling behind me. I pulled myself up onto the counter and sat on the edge with my legs dangling over. "So who's going to suck it up and tell me the plan?" Laurent and James looked at each other while Tanya examined her nails.

"All I was told was that I was to expect you and Laurent and then James a week after your arrival." Tanya said. "That's all Carlisle and Laurent would tell me."

"Ok, Your guys' turn." I said, turning my attention to James and Laurent.

"First, you have to understand that Victoria was the first vampire I had ever met." James said. "I was turned one night when I thought I was being mugged. Someone scared off my sire and he left me alive, although my rescuer thought I was dead. I was able to crawl back to my apartment before anyone found me. I went through the change by myself. I was scared when I woke up. All of my senses were far more advanced. I quickly discovered what I was when the burning in my throat roared to life when my neighbors scent mingled with the air under my nose. I killed the whole family that lived next to me that night. After the kill I packed a few things and left."

"So you're also running from the law?"

"No, it was long enough ago that I should be dead, along with all of the officers. Anyway, I left. I traveled at night and slept during the day. I fed every few days. I found the hunt to be thrilling and while I was hunting I forgot about the bloodlust. It was a way to escape the pain.

"Due to my obsession with hunting it turned out that I had a quite a knack for it. One day almost a decade after I had been turned, I was hunting some hiker when I crossed paths with Victoria. We fought over the man and during the fight he escaped. Once we stopped and the situation was assessed I realized that Victoria hadn't hunted in longer than I, but she was slightly younger so her bloodlust must have been killing her. So I decided to help her and we started traveling together. I would track our prey while Victoria would follow me. She was more of a parasite really, just feeding from the killings I made."

"You were doing all of the work." I said quietly.

"I was. She did find us places to stay, but it's not like I couldn't do that as well. For a while I was fine with the way we lived, but after a few decades, even a few years it tends to get quite annoying. Her only other use was satisfying other… primal urges." My body went rigid with jealousy, but I closed my eyes and just told myself to calm down. "I guess that's why I kept her along for so long. Then we met Laurent and he would always be able to say something to calm us down. He also had interesting ways to play mind games with the prey, causing them to become even more frightened. It made the hunt a bit more excitable.

"And Victoria still barely did anything." I said.

"She would just check her nails or hair or her appearance. She never tried to come up with creative ideas and would just follow on the hunts. Half the time she would get it wrong and screw us up, occasionally causing us to lose our prey."

"So we thought of a plan to rid ourselves of her." Laurent said, allowing James to take a break. "We had heard rumors of Tanya's family and the Cullens. We had been watching the Cullens for a bit before retreating farther North for a bit. We decided to plan a hunt for Edward's precious little human. We were planning on going to them and asking them for their help in a very intensive theatrical display."

"You were going to try and trick Victoria into thinking the Cullens killed James because he was going to kill Bella."

"Exactly." James replied.

"I went back to Forks one night while James and Victoria went on a hunt. I explained everything to the Cullens and they agreed. Then we met you." Laurent explained.

"And I suddenly had a more urgent reason to get rid of Victoria. Everything had been set up with the Cullens and now we just needed to go along with the timeline. Unfortunately, that timeline meant staying in Arizona with Bella a bit longer than I wanted to. So I took a few shortcuts, possibly biting her, which caused Edward to come rushing in and hurting me pretty bad."

"Who did they burn?"

"I had found a bum the night before to feed on. They burned his body beyond any recognition. Hopefully, Victoria thinks it's me." James replied.

"Wait, you bit Bella? So she's a vampire now?" I asked. I was more than a little jealous over the other human, or ex-human. How was she able to become a vampire and James wouldn't bite me yet!?

"No, Edward sucked the venom out. It was hard for him to do and he probably would have killed me if Carlisle didn't have Emmett and Jasper pull him back. Carlisle reminded him that I had my own human to get back to and the damage was not irreversible. So I pretty much have you to thank for saving my life." James said turning to me. He walked between my legs and kissed me gently. My hand went to the side of his cold face as he continued the kiss.

"Excuse me, you can do that in your own room." Tanya said. "Are we done here now?"

"I believe so. Everyone knows what happened now." Laurent said.

"And I didn't even overreact." I stated. "And I wouldn't have last night either. That would have been a perfect story for the ride last night; Lord only knows we had enough time in the car."

"You would have overreacted last night." James said.

"No I wouldn't have!" I said. "I would have thought about it as you talked and I would understand everything."

"You weren't thinking all that clear, you were too tired." James argued.

"I was thinking clear enough!" I retaliated.

"Ok, before this gets too heated… Laurent, Irina wants to talk to you."

"She does?" Laurent's energy suddenly picked at the mention of Tanya's sister.

"I believe she's in the study on one of the computers. If she's not there try her room. It's the one-"

"Next to mine, yes I know." Laurent said, cutting Tanya replied. He was up and out of the room before I could blink.

"Now, why don't you two go back to your own room and… talk this out. I don't think this argument is coming from your stubbornness, but some other frustration."

"What?" I asked. "Wait, you think we're fighting because we're too sexually frustrated. That I want James so much that I've become grumpy?"

"Uh… ya. Now you two go resolve whatever you need to. I think I'm going hunting." Tanya said. Again, she was gone before my slow human brain could process anything.

"What? Is she mad?" I nearly screamed.

"I think she's partially right." James said. When I glared at him he glared right back. "I said partially, Cerys, not completely. We're both too stubborn, but I think we need another source to work it out… other than fighting."

"Wow, I am just going weak at the knees." I said rolling my eyes dramatically. "You suck at the art of seduction."

"Do I?"

"You're too rough, too used to getting everything you want." I said. I pushed against James' chest and he allowed me to push him a step back. His smile was still cocky and I leaned forward. My feet were hooked around his knees and my arms around his neck. Other than that my body was as far back as I could get it. "You need to learn that sometimes, things don't come when they're called." I whispered. I smiled as I started to lean in, but before my lips met his I jumped off the counter and spun around, heading to the couch in the living room.

I sat down with Kate and Carmen, who were watching something on Bravo I think. "That was interesting, better than TV." Kate said with a grin. I smiled back before looking into the kitchen. James was staring intently at me. I just smiled and turned back to talk to the two vampiresses. James let out a frustrated growl before turning and running outside.

"If you're going to hunt, go as far as you can. Stay away from our town!" Carmen yelled.

"I don't think he heard you."

"He heard, and he already knew. I just figured it was better reminding him since his head seems to be a little cloudy currently." Carmen replied.

"Now everyone quiet, I want to hear what's going on." Carmen and I both rolled our eyes before laughing since we knew that Kate could very easily hear the TV.
