Chapter 2

I shot up from the covers and Edward's chest covered in sweat and breathing heavily. I looked around and saw the room was empty except for me and Edward.

"Nyx?! What happened?" Edward yelled.

I heard Alice come from her room and stormed into the room. I looked at her terrified, knowing I just saw the same thing she did. Surprisingly Edward didn't.

"James. It was a vision I saw." Alice said sadly.

I turned and buried my head in Edward's chest as I cried out of being so scared. I thought it was real. It felt so real. Everything about it seemed real.

"He's not going to get with in 100 feet of her. I'll make sure of that." Edward growled as he held me and tried to calm me.

"But Edward! It was so real! My back even hurts from the fight me and Emmet had in my dream. My head hurts from hitting the wall down stairs when James caught up to me." I yelled and pushed Edward back.

I got up slowly and began walking out to go somewhere so I could think. But Edward got in front of me and looked pissed.
"Don't you dare give me that look, Edward Cullen!" I growled lowly.

"What's going on?" I heard Emmet ask from behind Edward out in the hall.

"Alice and Nyx had a vision." Edward growled still glaring at me.

"Nyx? Had a vision?" Rosalie asked and came over to me and touched my back.

"Don't touch me!" I yelled in pain, "That vision was painful!"

Rosalie pulled back looking upset. I know she didn't mean to hurt me, but this week has been too much for me.

I walked over to my dresser and picked up my cell. I punched in my old coven's number and walked down stairs.

"Who's she calling?" Alice asked.

"Her old coven in Oklahoma." Edward answered knowing due to the fact that he could read my mind.

"I didn't mean to hurt her." Rosalie said sounding very upset.

"She knows. She's just a little off the edge and apparently her back is really sore from the fight her and Em had in her dream." Edward mumbled.

"Hello?" Asked the coven's leader.

"Good Evening, Mark. Can you get Jinx and Tera for me. It's Nyx." I said sounding tired, which I was.

"Ah, Nyx. How have you been?" he asked.

"THAT'S NYX!" I heard some guys shout.

"Not to well, I'm afraid. Now may I please speak with the girls? It's kinda urgent."

"Of course. I'll go get them. But for now, talk to Chase." Mark said laughing lightly.

Ah, great! I never told Chase it was over.

"WHAT?!" Edward yelled and came down that stairs looking utterly pissed.

"Hello?" Chase said.

"Hey. It's Nyx." I said shakily as Edward glared at me some more.

"You alright? You haven't called in a couple months." He asked.

"Yah, well things have been rather complicated lately. Um.. Chase. We have to split." I said trying to make Edward stop glaring at me.

"Ok. That's cool. So how's Tia?"
Just as I was about to be happy I went back into being sad and scared.

"She was killed. Speaking of which, I've met my father. He's a member of the Volturi." I said staring to get angry.

"Hold, up. Jinx and Tera are here. I'll put you on speaker phone since the guys are here as well." Chase said quickly.

I heard a click and heard Tera yell, "When the hell are you going to bring your ass home?!"

"I'm not going to be coming back to live there. But I do need to see Alexis." I said and noticed Edward change his glare to confusion.

'I'll explain later.' I thought.

Edward nodded and then I heard Chase say, "So who's the guy that's your daddy?"

"Oh you met your dad?! That's awesome!" Jinx chimed.

"Okay, before I go crazy, let me explain; I hate his guts. He's the one who kill Tia! It was bad enough that the only reason he came to see me was cause he was ordered to take me to the Volturi to join their coven. AND! Just the other day, he tried to kill me. Then to top it all off, I have a blood crazy tracker that wants my blood!" I yelled into the phone.

"Wow….." Was all I heard from everyone.

I was shaking due to the fact I was utterly pissed again. Jasper, I think, was trying to help, but it seemed to fail, so he came over to me and put his hands on my shoulders and told me to let him calm me down. I sighed deeply then said "Thanks."

"Thanks for what?" Chase asked.

"Not you. I live with a coven that's like me when it comes to food habits." I mumbled.

I was really starting to feel calm now.

"So when are you coming to see Alexis?" asked Tera.

"I don't know. Possibly next week." I said thinking on it.

"I swear, that kid seems more like you than what her parents were." Chase laughed.

"And what is that supposed to mean?" I asked sounding offended.

"Nothing. Just she really reminds me of you." Chase said calmly.

"That better be why." I growled, "Anyways, the reason why I called is because I know Tera is a freak when it comes to visions. Is it possible to have a vision and feel the pain that happened in it?"
"Yes, but rarely does it ever happen. Why?" Tera said sounding concerned.

"Because I had a vision, and I got into a fight with a friend and then I was attacked by the vampire that wants to kill me. My back hurts like hell, and my head is a little sore." I said and winced when Jasper began to massage my very sore back.

"Ouch. That must hurt." Jinx mumbled.

"Yah, particularly when it's being massaged right now." I mumbled.

"Do you want it to hurt more in the morning?" Jasper asked.

"No." I pouted.

Edward then took the phone and said, "I'm sorry but Nyx needs to be dealt with for the moment. She'll call back later."

I looked at him like he was crazy. He hung up after I guessed he got a reply.

"Do I take your phone away from you and tell them to bug off?" I asked.

"No, but that's the joy of being taller than you." Edward laughed.

That's frigging…….. ARG!! Why the hell did I have to have that stupid dream!?!?!? If I didn't I'd have been able to talk to Tera and Jinx! Edward looked at me with his goofy smile but right now I was kinda pissed.

"Floor." Jasper ordered.

"How about my bed. And let Alice or Rosalie do this." I said and went up stairs.

"Bed, okay. But I'll do it because I give the best massages." Jasper said and picked me up carefully.

He didn't run, he staid at a normal pace as we went up the stairs with Edward trailing right behind us. On our way we saw Rosalie and Alice talking and Rosalie looked at me carefully.

"Rose, I'm sorry about earlier!" I called threw the closed door.

Jasper gently laid me on my bed and ordered me to lay on my stomach. I obeyed, not wanting to see Jasper angry since I could tell he was heading that way.

Hours passed by and Jasper finally left me be as I kept a good grip on the bed posts. Oh god that would have been a nice massage had it not been for the fact that my back was sensitive to touch!

"Don't let her move from that bed." Jasper ordered Edward.

"Alright. But for how long?" He asked.

"For the rest of the day." Jasper said then left the room.

"Ow...." I whined in pain. It was a little whisper but Edward came over to me and laid next to me.

"I'm sorry, but you needed that. Particularly with James being your hunter." Edward mumbled.

"I almost forgot about that. Now, not only am I being hunted, but my back hurts like hell." I whined and stuffed my head into the pillow.

"Sorry." He whispered.

God I was having a really crappy week! But I need to think about seeing my baby girl.

"Who's Alexis?" Edward asked trying to get me to think on it.

I turned my head to Edward and smiled, "She's my god daughter. Her mom was my aunt, they adored me and knew Alexis was my world then. She still is, but I now have you and everyone else in my world." I said quickly, "But I became her legal guardian last year when she was 3. She's going to be 4 next week. She has raven black hair, and crystal blue eyes. Her skin is really pale, but she's just the most beautiful child I have ever seen. Even more than I was. Part of me makes me wonder if she is part Vampire, but Jason and Renata were humans. Renata was never the type to cheat, so it can't be that. Besides she'd look possibly 12 if she were like me."

"Sounds like a cute little girl." Edward mumbled.

"She is. She adores me and I bet she's really upset that I'm gone. I'm half tempted to bring her here with me, but what with James, you can kiss my ass. I'm not letting my only child go like that." I growled at the end.

"You know what with you being part human, you might be able to have a child." Carlisle said walking in on us.

"I've thought about that, kinda doubt it though. Besides, the kid would end op being a 4th vampire. It's-"
"Or ¾th's. Edwards full, and your half." Carlisle corrected.

"I don't think I'm ready to be a father. I'm not sure I'd be able to pull it off." Edward said sounding a little scared.

"'Not pull it off'? Come on!" I laughed, "You'd make a great father."
"I'm not ready." Edward mumbled.

"Do you think I was ready for a lot of this?" I said stuffing my head back into the pillow.

"Anyways, off subject. What's wrong Carlisle?" Edward said looking to our foster father.

"Laurent called. Apparently James has left they're little group and is set on hunting you." He mumbled.

"I knew he was set on hunting me already." I said thru the cotton pillow.

I never could stand feather pillows. The always poked me in my sleep and kept me up all night.

Edward chuckled lightly at my thought.

"This isn't something to laugh about, Edward." Carlisle chided.

"Sorry. It's just Nyx thought something funny." Edward said trying not to laugh again.

"Speaking of which; Can you still not hear thoughts'?" He asked calmly from above me.

"Nope. Not a whisper, not a fuzz. Nothin'." I mumbled lightly.

"Hmm…. Well maybe it's not a natural talent you possess." Carlisle concluded.

"How? I've had it all my life." I said lifting my head up a bit.

"Well then maybe because you've been threw thru so much lately it's a temporary shut down." Carlisle said.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"No." He said sadly.

"That's what I thought, no offense dad." I added quickly.

I saw Carlisle looking upset but part of me thought it was the fact he couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. I noticed Edward nodded to the side answering my thoughtful question.

"Dad, we'll figure it out in time. And you may be right, It might just be due to the stress I've had lately." I said looking at him with a thankful look.

"Yes, we will figure it out. I promise." He said and pushed my hair back that slide down over my face and kissed me lightly on the cheek.

Later that night I tried to go and get something small to eat, but Jasper nearly went berserk when he saw me walking slowly in the hall. God when he shuck up on me I jumped and oh god did my back hurt. Jasper then took me back to my room and brought up a couple of blood packets half at a time in a large glass. He even made me drink it from a sippy straw! So not cool!
