Welcome Back.

The parking lot was empty when we arrived. I parked on the farthest end of the lot and got out.

"Rose's car is over there." Jen said, pointing to the cars parked by the school. She stepped out of the seat and walked towards me, leaning beside me just as the bell rang. Students began to pour out of the many doors and some of them marveled at us as they walked to their cars.

"H-Hey." A voice said to my left. I turned my head and found a blonde headed boy standing in front of me.

"Hello." I said with a courteous smile.

"M-My name is Mike." He spluttered and I giggled.

"My name is Elena. Pleasure to meet you Mike."

"Elena...are you a new student?" He asked and Jennesa stepped in-between us.

"We're just visitors. We're here to meet up with our cousins." She hissed, something about this boy bothered her, what it is, I'll never know.

"Now, now Jennesa. Let's not get huffy." I muttered, so that she could only hear. "I'm sorry, about my cousin. She is restless, we've had a long flight. We come from Greece." I said, pushing her behind me again.

"Oh, it's ok." He chuckled lightly. I looked over at where Jen found Rose's car and found them all talking amongst themselves.

"Edward..." I muttered, seeing him leaning against a silver Volvo. "It was nice meeting you Mike." I said before grabbing Jen's hands and walking towards them.

"What if they come and check up on her?" Rose growled lowly.

"We'll be killed." Jasper added, his hand attached to Alice's.

"What seems to be the problem, Rose?" I asked, a few feet away from them. They all turned and looked at Jennesa and I as we walked closer.

"Elena? Jen?" Emmett stuttered, clearly surprised. Jen smiled and ran passed me, embracing Rose and Alice at once. I smiled at Emmett, who extended his arms immediately. "What brings my favorite cousin to Forks?" He asked, giving me a tight bear hug. I laughed at my own joke. He looked down at me, confusion clear in his eyes as I shook my head and dismissed it. When I pulled away, Rose was standing beside him, glaring at me.

"Rosalie." I said, standing a few inches away from her.

"Elena." She said, leaning her weight onto one leg and placing her hand on her hip. We stared at each other before throwing our arms around each other.

"What took you so long?" She asked and I pulled away, my hands still on her shoulders.

"It took us longer to find you then we'd expected." I murmured, not wanting the others to hear. Alice appeared in between Rose and me and grinned brightly.

"Cousin! I've missed you!" She chirped, holding tightly onto my waist, her head on my shoulder. I giggled and returned the gesture.

"I've missed you too, Alice." I said. She stood there, unmoving, until Jasper walked forward and cleared his throat.

"Oh, I'm sorry." She said quietly, pulling away from me. I smirked at Jasper, his face still holding pain.

"Still suffering, Jasper?" I asked, holding my arms out towards him. He chuckled deeply and hugged me loosely.

"You have no idea." He muttered in ear and I chuckled. He pulled away and I turned towards the only cousin I hadn't greeted.

"Edward." I said a warm smile on my pink lips. He stared at me for a moment before pushing off the Volvo and walking towards me slowly. Before I could speak, his arms were around me.

"It's been a while, Elena." He whispered, his breath tickling my neck. I nodded and placed my hands onto his back lightly.

"Yes, it has." I whispered before pulling away slowly and turning towards Jennesa. "Well," I said a bit louder so that everyone could hear. "Jennesa and I have news we want to share with you, but I would rather wait until we were all at home."

"Can't you tell us now?" Alice asked, her pixie like hair blowing slightly with the wind, her eyes wide, like a puppy begging for food. She couldn't foresee what I was going to tell them, because I blocked the visions that involved me or Jennesa from her mind. Always surprising her, which she hated. I laughed and shook my head.

"You'll have to wait until Uncle is home as well." I said, tapping her head slightly. She pushed her bottom lip out in a pout and I smiled. "Jen and I want to do some shopping until 6." I said as Jen walked closer to me.

"Alright then," Alice muttered. "I guess I'll go translate another book or something."

"You can come with us Alice." Jen said, not liking the look in Alice's eyes. She quickly looked up at us and I nodded.

"Really?" She asked before Jen grabbed her hand and dragged her away to my car.

"Want to come too, Rose?" I asked, looking at her. Emmett slid his hand around her waist and pulled her towards him.

"Rose and I have something to do." He said a smug smile on his face. My eyes grew slightly before returning to their normal size. I chuckled and turned, walking away.

"Ok then. I'll see you at home." I shouted. The parking lot was empty now, everyone already gone.

"Elena!" I heard someone shout, turning to see Edward walking towards me. I stopped and waited for him.

"Don't you have something to do as well, cousin?" I asked, staring at my car, which was still a good few yards away.

"Why did you come back?" He asked, stopping suddenly. I stopped as well and turned.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"You know...what I mean." He muttered. I stared at him for a second before sighing and smiling.

"There was a human at your house, right?" I asked, walking slower so that he could follow.

"How did you..?" He asked, now beside me. I looked up at him.

"Her scent. It was all over the place."

"Oh. Yes, there was."

"She has quite a scent. It was the sweetest I've smelled in a long time."

"I know." He said quietly and I stopped, turning towards him.

"She's your singer, isn't she?" I asked and he quickly looked up, shock clearly written in his features. "I knew it." I sighed, walking towards my car. Jen lifted the hood, seeing at it began to drizzle lightly.

"Elena, I-"

"Don't worry Edward. I know what it feels like, finding your singer." I said, my hand grazing his cheek. "Always wanting to be with them, always wanting to protect them, always wanting nothing more but their happiness." My hand lowered to where his heart would be and stopped. "Does she make you happy?" I asked, staring at him.

"Yes, she does." He whispered and I smiled brightly.

"Then, I welcome her." I said, unlocking my door. I opened it and went to sit; his hand on my shoulder stopped me.

"Welcome back, cousin." He said his crooked smile on his lips. I chuckled and sat down.

"Thank you." I said before closing the door and driving off.
