More months went by, and there was no word of Wendy and her whereabouts. I started to get scared, wanting to go out and find her myself and see where she is. It's been several months, and the routine of being with the Cullen family has grown on me and Sam. We didn't really think of living in another way without them, they were slowly becoming our family members that we were lost from all of our vampire lives.

"It's too dangerous to try and find her." Sam said to me in a soothing tone, seeing my anxiety over trying to find her, but it was killing me on the inside not knowing where she was. I was only relying on the mere idea that she was alive, she was alive and she was trying to find us. Wendy couldn't die, she couldn't leave me. I was still young, well in my mind I was, and I still needed to learn from her. If she was dead, or was doing to die, it would be the end of me.

"But I have to try, it pains me to think that she is out there alone." I said to him in a low tone, trying to hold back the pain I was having inside of me. He understood, only holding my hand lightly to show that he did understood what I was going through. He lost his creator, to the two vampires that were after my own creator, he was grieving already and I yet to.


It didn't come to a head until one day I was out in the backyard with Esme, helping her with her garden when I came across a scent that wasn't normal. I stopped my movements, the roses that were in the hands still as I looked behind me in the chilling atmosphere. There was snow on the ground, no doubt in that, but the scent was very warm, and very unusual.

"Emma?" I heard Esme ask me aloud, but I didn't reply back to her as I searched the trees. It was still, very still in fact as the scent was enticing me to follow it. I tried to figure out what it was, but it then came to me in a flash: vampire.

It was warm, very warm. Almost like flowers were coming through the cold crisp air of the forest and it made me think of Wendy. Her scent was the same way, very warm and floral. But it couldn't be her, could it? It was like she was waiting for me at the edge of the forest. I had to see, only to make sure it wasn't her. What I was about to do was going to be a bonehead move, but I needed to see who it was.

"Calisle." I heard next to me, and I looked over to the left and saw Carlisle coming out of the house, looking at the forest in the same manner as I was: determined and confused. Esme and I stood up from the ground and joined Carlisle near the house, looking at the forest to see what scent was coming our way. Since there was a slight breeze in the area, the scent was coming to us strong and bitter.

"Someone is close by." Carlisle said aloud to all of us as I looked to him. While he was still looking at the forest, I saw Sam right next to him looking right at me with worry in his eyes. He knew something was wrong too, and I could see he knew the scent. I then knew it too: the two vampires for were after him and Wendy. Without even thinking, I ran.

"Emma!" I heard Sam call out from behind me, but I kept running towards the scent and into the forest. The tress sped past me, the rocks underneath me had no chance as I drove faster and faster into the forest. She was there, she had to be. Or else they had to of set a trap for me to take, but who was I to let them go in mercy?

I came to a halt in a small clearing of nothing but grass and tall trees. I stayed still, not wanting to keep moving around or anything that would set me of. I then heard Sam running up to me and standing behind me, but I looked forward and tried to find where the scent was now.

"It's the two of them." I said aloud, keeping my voice low as I scanned the area. He stayed still, making me feel a little more tense about the situation. Where were they? Are they trying to hide in order to attack me? Where was Wendy?

Suddenly I saw two vampires walking towards us in a slow fashion, as if they were causally walking down a street and a small smile were on there lips. The female was in front, her smile was cunning and making me think of a snake as her blond straight hair framed her crimson eyes and beautiful features. The other vampire was male, his brown shaved head reminded me of the day this all happened.

"It took us long enough to find you." the female said aloud in almost a sneering laugh. I eyed her, seeing how the stopped about 10 feet away from us and I sudden;y saw something she was wearing. The shawl she had around her waist like a belt, how the purple and blue hinted a bit from the sun, I suddenly felt anger going through me. That shawl was Wendy's. She took it from her, after she killed her.

"What did you do to her?" I asked her aloud, seeing her smile widen slightly, as well as the male.

"She got in the way of our little mission, involving that young one behind you." she replied to me, looking back at Sam slightly. I looked back briefly as well, seeing his cold stare at the two vampires. I would tell him to leave and go back to the Cullens, but I knew he wasn't going to leave, not without me.

"What do you have against Sam and his creator?" I asked her, my tone still staying cold and bitter. Her smirk was now gone, and her face was cold and lifeless. I then knew something serious happened to her.

"His creator killed my mate, my one reason for being a vampire and being a part of this world. He chose to take it from me, and he had to pay, along with his younger companion there." She explained in a cold tone, and I saw Sam move behind me slightly, but my attention was on her to see what she was going to do next.

"Your little Wendy was only in my way." She added in the end, and the male laughed a low tone. I growled, not wanting to hear anymore but to kill her for what she has done to me.

"Is it safe to say, she died in vain?" He female said in a growl and I sneered at her, running towards me. She ran towards me then as well, the both of us colliding and the sound almost deafening. We were trying to rip each other's throats out as the male went for Sam. But he was no match for Sam, who was already pinning him to the floor and I heard some of his bones cracking in the process. The male screamed, but I was occupied with the female, who was slipping out of my arms and trying to pin me down herself.

The both of us were fair fighters, very fair. When one of us had the upper hand, the other would come out of nowhere and break through the bond. It seemed like there was no better vampire in the fight between us two females, but I had to kill her. Never in my vampire life have I wanted to kill another person, human or vampire, as much as I wanted to kill her and have her feel what I felt from the discovery of Wendy's death. It seemed logical, to have her die for the sake of Wendy.

It came to a halt when I was held up against my neck, against a tree and the female holding me high. I tried to get out of her grasp, but she was very strong. I saw her wicked smile, how she looked right at her with her cold crimson eyes.

"Be glad, since I'll be killing you quickly and with no pain involved." She said to me in a coy tone, her one eyebrow raised and a small laugh escaped her. I tried once more to get out of her grip. She was still to strong, and there was no way in hell I was going to die and let her win.

"I doubt that." I heard behind her and I saw her facial features falter slightly. The both of us looked to find Sam, with a pile of who was the male vampire's limbs and pieces on the floor in a heap.

Her grip was slightly loose from the sight of the deceased vampire, and I immediately slipped out of her grip and threw her across the clearing towards Sam. She flew into his arms and he grabbed her harshly, pulling her arm back and making her scream as I ran over to the two of them. Without even thinking, I grabbed her head between my hands and snapped her head off, clean and no mess as she was now lifeless in Sam's arms.

It was done, I killed another vampire. Something inside me was screaming why I would do such a thing, but another part of me was feeling the emotion of victory and pride. How could I feel this when I killed another? I was no killer, was I? My hands were frozen, my head reeling of what I just did.

I felt hands on my arms, gently pushing me back and away from the beheaded body of the killer whom took Wendy from me. I didn't say a word, nor did I try to fight him as Sam led me away from the area.

"Emma." I heard him say to me in a soft tone, as if talking to me in a loud tone would break me. I finally looked at him, seeing so much pain in his own eyes as he waited to see what I was going to do. BUt I said nothing, did nothing. I was too much in shock.

Without even thinking, i walked back over to the limp body of the female. For a split second, I thought she was going to come back to life and kill me, but I had to remind myself I took her head off clean. Reaching down, I took off the shawl and held it in my hands, facing Sam.

Wendy was gone, she was gone forever, how was I going to go through this whole vampire life I had without her. She gave me this life, both in a positive and negative manner. And now she was gone, she was never going to come back.

Now what was I going to do?
