Disclaimer: It's been a while since I put this up, but as a reminder; I do not own Twilight or Blood & Chocolate. I am merely playing with them, tweaking them, meshing them into one and making it into my own.
A/N: Hey everyone! I come bearing a new chapter! Ok, we're almost done with this story here :'-( I can't believe it's almost over! I want to thank everyone who has been reading and reviewing through this story :D Remember it's never too late to leave a review *HINT HINT* Things are going to get intense here, so I hope you guys like it! The title of this chapter is a song from one of my ultimate favorite musicals Spring Awakening. You guys HAVE to listen to the music from this show, it's so awesome! I don't think the title needs any explanation, you'll find out soon enough ;-) Enjoy!!!

Totally Fucked
I barely slept the entire drive to Arizona. All I could think about was Edward and Aunt Hope. I hope to the Moon that she's safe, and that James didn't get to her. Ugh! James, I wish Edward would have let me stay and try to kill the blonde bitch myself, and this time I don't mean Rosalie. Jasper must have felt how worried I was because his eyes met mine in the rearview mirror.
"Don't worry, Vivian. Hope is safe, everything is going to be alright." Jasper told me.
"I know. I just can't help but worry. I didn't like being apart from her when I had to live in Bucharest, and I don't like being apart from her now. And I still don't understand why Edward won't let me stay and fight. He knows I can defend myself." I ranted.
"You're not a vampire." Alice piped in, turning to face me from the front passenger seat.
I rolled my eyes and scoffed, "That's just a minor technicality."
Alice chuckled at my response, and I saw Jasper's lips twitch in amusement.
"I know something that can cheer you up." Alice announced to me as she pulled out a CD and put it in the car stereo.
Then I heard the familiar sound of a violin playing, and I automatically knew what it was.
"Holy crap! Spring Awakening! Alice how did you know?" I asked her in excitement.
"I know how much you love musicals and that Spring Awakening is one of your obsessions." Alice replied smiling at me.
I nodded my head at her, remembering that I told her about my love of musicals when we went out shopping. I saw Jasper hold his hand out to Alice, and their fingers intertwined. It was beautiful seeing how much they loved each other. So I just sat back and sang to Mama Who Bore Me. Before I knew it, we parked in front of a hotel entrance somewhere in Phoenix just as I Believe ended. Thank goodness we were in the shade, because it's the middle of the afternoon and the last thing we needed was everyone staring at two glittery vampires.
We walked inside the beautiful hotel, which looked very expensive, and checked ourselves in. Our room was not like a cheap hotel/motel room that had only a bed or two, a crappy TV, and a small bathroom. This was a suite! A huge room with beds, a decent TV, a couch, I wonder what the bathroom looks like. Well, I guess I won't be locked up in a basement sitting on my ass watching Family Guy after all. I'm going to be locked up in a hotel suite sitting on my ass watching Family Guy…with room service! I guess this isn't so bad like I thought it would be.
Alice, Jasper and I sat on the couch together watching the Star Wars episode of Family Guy. They laughed when I spoke the dialogue along with the show; my favorite is when Chris is dressed as a Storm Trooper and when he comes to rescue Lois, she says "Aren't you a little fat to be a Storm Trooper?" and Chris says, "Well, stay here and rot, you stuck up bitch."
It was fun until Alice suddenly froze in her seat, her eyes glazed over. Jasper wrapped his arm around her shoulder in comfort, not once taking his eyes off of her in concern.
"Alice, what is it? What did you see?" Jasper asked her.
"The tracker has changed his course." Alice said, worry laced her voice.
She grabbed the piece of paper and pencil Jasper held out for her. She started drawing what she saw in her vision.
"Where is he going?" I asked her as she drew.
"Mirrors. I see a room full of mirrors; there's a wooden floor. He's in the room, waiting. There's a gold stripe across the mirrors." Alice replied as she drew the room of mirrors.
I looked at the picture after Alice finished drawing it. I knew what kind of room it was as soon as I saw the mirrors and the bar.
"James is going to a dance studio?" I thought aloud.
Jasper and Alice looked up at me in surprise.
"You've been there?" Jasper asked me.
I shook my head as I replied, "No, but I've seen them enough in movies and stuff to know what a dance studio looks like. Why's he going there, do you think?"
Alice shook her head in regret, "I don't know. All I can see is that he's there waiting."
"So what should we do?" I asked, looking at both of them.
Right after I spoke, Alice's phone rang.
"It's Carlisle." She announced as she picked up the phone to answer it.
"Carlisle," she breathed. "Yes," she said glancing at me. She listened for a minute before she spoke again.
"I just saw him." She described the vision to Carlisle. "I don't know what made him go to that room or why, I just saw him there waiting." She paused again, then she looked at me. "Vivian?"
She held out the phone to me, I nodded at her in thanks as I grabbed it from her.
"Hello?" I spoke softly.
"Vivian," Edward replied.
"Edward! Man, am I glad to hear your voice. I was so worried." I spoke in relief.
"Vivian, I told you that everything is going to be alright. You need to worry about yourself." Edward told me as he sighed in frustration.
"I don't know, that sounds like an awful lot of work." I replied sarcastically. "So where are you?"
"We're on our way to Phoenix to get you. The tracker figured it out, he knows we were misleading him. I am so sorry." He told me, his voice heavy with regret.
My heart broke hearing the sorrow and regret in his voice. I looked at Alice and Jasper as I got up from the couch, letting them know that I was moving to the bedroom for some privacy, they nodded in understanding.
"Edward, don't be so hard on yourself." I told him sternly as I closed the door and sat down on the bed. "This isn't your fault. It's my fault for smelling so damn good."
I heard Edward chuckle on the phone. It made me smile knowing that cheered him up, a little bit anyway.
"Leave it to you to say something humorous." Edward said with a small smile no doubt.
"That's what I'm here for." I replied, shrugging my shoulders.
"Edward?" I asked him.
"Yes?" He replied.
"How's Aunt Hope? I mean, is she safe?" I asked, concerned.
"Yes, she's safe. Esme and Carlisle got to speak with her at the treaty line. She misses you." He told me.
I sighed in relief. As long as Aunt Hope was safe, I was happy. I'll be even happier once Edward comes for me.
"So what's the plan man?" I asked him.
"We're on our way to Phoenix right now, we'll come get you, then you and I will go somewhere alone until this is over." Edward told me.
"Going somewhere alone, just the two of us? Sounds like a good plan to me." I said smiling.
"I'm glad you think so." He replied.
I put all humor aside as I spoke sincerely, "I miss you."
"Oh Vivian, I miss you too." He replied softly and emotionally, "And I promise you… I will do whatever it takes to make you safe again." Edward spoke with conviction.
My heart started beating ten times faster after he said that. He needed me just as much as I needed him.
"I love you so much." I told him softly with so much love.
"I love you too." He replied just as softly and emotionally. "I will see you soon."
"I'll be waiting." I told him before I heard him hang up.
I exited the bedroom and made my way back to my seat on the couch. I handed the phone back to Alice, who softly smiled at me.
"They're going to be here in about an hour. Jasper's going downstairs to check out." She told me.
I nodded at her, "Ok. You can go downstairs with him, Alice. You don't have to stay up here." I told her.
"I don't know Vivian. Are you sure?" Alice asked me, reluctant to leave me alone.
"Yeah I'm sure. I just want a little bit of time to myself, maybe try out that fancy shower in the bathroom." I told her smiling.
She chuckled at me. "Ok. We'll be right back, we won't be long. Have fun." She told me as her and Jasper walked to the door.
"I sure will." I replied.
They left the room, and I walked over to my duffle bag to grab a change of clothes and my bathroom stuff. I was about to walk to the bathroom when I heard my cell phone ring. I pulled it out of my bag and looked at the caller ID. Unknown Caller. I was about to just let it ring, thinking it was probably one of those annoying pre-recorded phone calls or something, but then I thought that maybe it was Aunt Hope calling from Coban's phone, since I didn't have his number. So I answered it.
"Hello?" I answered casually.
"Hello, Vivian." a deep voice replied.
James.
My heart stopped beating for a second, then started up again.
"How the fuck did you get this number?!" I asked harshly.
"I have my ways." He simply replied. "But that's not important. What's important is that you do as I say, or else."
"Or else what?" I shot back at him.
"Or else I will go back to Forks, and something very nasty will happen to your Aunt Hope." He threatened.
My eyes widened. The asshole threatened my family! He will have to go through me before he could ever think about touching Aunt Hope.
"Now you listen to me you needle dick," I spat out, "If you go anywhere near her, I will rip you to fucking pieces, limb from limb! Your beef is with me, so why don't you come on and fight me you pussy?!"
I heard him let out a dark chuckle after I threatened him.
"That's what I like about you Vivian, you have spunk. Courage. I could tell when you wanted to challenge me at the baseball field." He told me.
I rolled my eyes at him. "Is there a point to this? As much as I love to hear creepy compliments from you, what is it you want from me?"
"Straight to the point, I like that. I'm giving you the opportunity to prove you can hold your own, not have your little boyfriend fight your battles for you." He taunted me.
I gripped the phone harder, having difficulty controlling my anger.
"How thoughtful of you. Though I seriously don't think you give a shit about that. For the record, I can fight my own battles, I don't need Edward to do it you asshole! You want to fight me? Name the time and the place." I spoke venomously.
"There's a ballet studio downtown. I suggest you leave now. I'll be waiting for you." He replied. He gave me the address then hung up.
I knew it was a bad idea to go to the studio, but I'd rather fight him and possibly getting killed than have him hunt down Aunt Hope. I wouldn't be able to forgive myself if she died because of me. My mind was made up. I grabbed my money for a cab, then left the room. I walked down the stairs to the lobby, where I saw Alice and Jasper at the front desk, their backs facing me. I hid behind the wall to make sure they didn't see me. Then I quickly walked to the doors and I was outside.
I saw a cab pull up in front of the entrance, letting an older man exit the car. I got in the cab after the man was out. The driver asked me where to go, I gave him the address and we were off. The sun had set by the time the driver dropped me off in front of the studio. I paid him the fare, exited the car, and entered the building.
The old building was dark and cold, the shadows gave it a really creepy vibe. I saw a note taped to a wall on my right that read:
Second floor, first door to the left.
Following the instructions, I walked up the stairs that were in front of me. I could hear my own heart beat rapidly. I was nervous, but I pushed my nerves aside. I can't be weak, I must be strong. I made it to the second floor and walked to the first door on my left. The door was cracked open. I lightly pushed it open, and slowly stepped into the room. I could see my reflection all around me from the huge mirrors in the large ballet studio. It was dark and quiet…too quiet.
Then, I heard the loud slam of the door echoing throughout the studio. I quickly turned around, and standing in front of me was James. He was no more than three feet from me before he started circling around me, with a dark sinister smile.
"I'm impressed. I didn't think you would actually show up." He greeted me.
"You obviously don't know me at all if you thought that." I spat at him.
He chuckled, "I suppose you're right."
"So are we going to do this or not?" I asked, not wanting to delay any longer.
James stopped circling me and stood right in front of me.
"You're very brave…for a human. Too bad I have to tear you apart." He told me with fake pity.
Then, before I could even blink, James grabbed me by my throat and threw me across the room, causing me to crash into one of the mirrors and landed on the floor. I could feel the broken shards of glass fall around me. I could hear him chuckling at me as he walked to me slowly.
"I guess you're not so tough after all, are you?" He mocked me as he bent down to look at me.
I slowly stood up, my body still in shock from crashing into the mirror. Just when I was about to attack him, he grabbed me by the throat again and pinned me against the wall.
"Oh I only wish Edward was here to see his little human being weak." He taunted me.
"Shut the fuck up! Edward has nothing to do with this!" I choked out at him, struggling to break free.
"Oh but hehas everything to do with this. Him and his feeble attempt to protect you. If only he had changed you instead of keeping you as this helpless little human girl." James continued to taunt me.
So he thought I was just a weak human, huh? Well he's in for a rude awakening.
"Oh yeah?" I spoke, "Well Jimmy Boy, there's something you really don't know about me."
"And what's that?" He asked, leaning his face toward mine.
I closed my eyes for a moment, then opened them as I looked into his eyes. I could see the surprise in his eyes as he looked into my now glowing golden eyes.
"I'm not human."
With that, I threw him off of me and he crashed into a mirror on the other side of the room. I didn't waste any time as I ran toward him and attacked. I kicked him in the face, it made him angry. He stood up from the floor and quickly tried to hit me, but I was faster. I bent down underneath his arm, kicked him in his back, and grabbed him by his ponytail. I could hear him growling at me as I pulled harder on his hair. I threw him by his hair all the way across the room, but he landed on his feet.
Man he looked seriously pissed off! He snarled at me as he crouched down, ready to attack. I let out a low dangerous growl as I crouched down also. He started running, then I started running. It was the immortal version of the game Chicken. As we got closer to one another, James jumped up in the air over my head, and landed behind me. I abruptly turned around to face him.
"What's wrong Jimmy? Afraid you would crash into me?" I taunted him.
"No, he was just killing time for us." I heard a familiar voice yell out.
James had a dark smirk on his face as he looked at me. Then, I saw Ulf, Gregory, Finn, and Willem emerge from the shadows. James and the Four?! Teamed up?! Five of them, and one of me. As all of this dawned on me, despite all of my hard training, I realized that now… I am totally fucked!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A/N: Ooh James and The Four! How many of you were expecting that? Be honest. As you can tell, there were some similarities from Twilight, but of course I changed it a bit so it's not totally alike. Sorry if James was OOC! I really am trying not to butcher these characters, just remember, this is purely Fanfiction, meaning this is my story. I'm not trying to sound like a bitch, I just want to make that clear in case someone leaves me a review saying "This character is OOC", so please keep an open mind. Anywho, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter! I am BEGGING you guys, PLEASE REVIEW!!!! The story's almost over and I want to know what you think! Getting emails that say I got a new review makes me giddy :D
