A/N: Hey guys check out my friend Twylia's new story! It's called 'Bailey, the Cullens and Peter'! Thanks now on with the story!

I walked clamly in to the house, over to the air chair in the living room and sat down. I tried very hard to cover up the fact that I hated Seth imprinting with Karen. Somehow I tipped everyone else off that I was upset.

"What's wrong?" Nessie asked from the couch.

I had to take a deep breath before I could answer her.

"Imprinting is whats wrong." I said tapping my foot rapidly.

"Whoa, who's got you all stressed and upset?" Jasper wondered coming in to the living room.

Oh yeah I forgot, he feels emotions.

"Seth." The word came out with anger wrapping around it.

"Imprinting...Seth...." Jacob muttered to himself putting the pieces together, then he stood up. "I'll be back soon,Nessie." He told her going out the door.

Everyone was quite for a little while, I guess taking in the fact that Seth had imprinted on Karen.

"I'm sure he wasn't staring." I heard Jillian say from upstairs.

"Oh he was staring alright! He didn't even say Hello, he just stood there staring like a moron!" Karen complained.

"Kar calm down--."

David started to say but Karen interrupted.

"Calm down?! Would YOU be calm if you had these things on your face?! Probably not! Just leave me alone!" She shouted at him.

"I didn't mean--."

"I don't care what you meant! Leave me alone!" Was the last thing I heard before the slamming of a door.

Jillian and David came down the stairs shaking there heads.

"We tried." David told me as they sat down on the couch. I stood up and walked toward the stairs.

"I should go talk to her."

The words left my mouth as Jeremy, Jacob and Seth walked in the door.

Seth looked at me with a hopeful face. "Mind if I do that?"

Of course I mind!

My mind went back to the time Nessie and Jake tried to explain imprinting. Jacob said it was like your whole world was about your imprint. Your life was there's now. There was no living with out them.

I sighed.

I couldn't do that to Seth. I couldn't not let him see her. It was fate and who was I to stand in the way of fate.

I shook my head slightly and then headed for the kitchen. "I think that's a yes." I head Jasper say.

I took it upon myself to make dinner. It gave me something to do. It only took an hour and unfortunately Seth was still talking to Karen when I finished.

"Smells great." David said walking in the kitchen.

I gave him a small smile. "Go ahead and eat. I have to change."

As I was going up to mine and Jeremy's room I heard laughter from Karen's room. She was laughing. Karen hadn't laughed or been her happy-go-lucky self since we moved in with the Cullen's. She wasn't fully comfortable here, we all could tell that.

"There you are."

I heard behind me, I jumped and spun around. My eyes grow big and I think my heart stopped for a moment.

"What are you doing here?" I asked rage and fear taking over my words and my body.

He smiled. "Aw, aren't you happy to see me?"

"Hale no!"

"She cusses. I thought I'd never see the day when Melissa Montgomery cussed." As he talked he moved forward.

Yell for Jeremy! Or anyone! My head told me.

I wanted to but...I was scared. I'd never admit that to anyone, that I Melissa Montgomery was scared of Adrian.

"Stay away from me." I told him backing away.

"Why? I thought you loved me."

"I love Jeremy not you!" I shouted.

Adrian stopped. His face became a stone but his eyes were filled with anger.

"Mel, who are you talking to?" Jeremy asked appearing at the top of the stairs.

Adrian smiled and turned to Jeremy. "Hello again."

"Get out!" Jeremy ordered.

When Adrian didn't move or disappear, Jeremy started at him.

Adrian held up this hands. "I'm going, I'm going." He said then he added "For now." And was gone.

"You alright?" Jeremy asked coming over to me.

"Yeah."

Jeremy looked me over, looking to see if he hurt me.

"I'm fine, he didn't hurt me."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, Jeremy I'm sure." I assured him.

He nodded.

After I changed I didn't feel much like eating. I was worried about Adrian. Jeremy and Alice never did tell me what happened that day. All I remembered was standing in the way of Adrian getting to Karen. I remembered him attacking me but then nothing else, until when I woke up here. What had really happened? I started to go downstairs and ask but decided not to. I sat down at end of the bed and got lost in my thoughts.

"Mom, mom. Wake up." Jillian's voice woke me up.

I looked around and found I was in bed. When did I go to sleep? How did I get in to night clothes? I wondered then just figured I had fallen asleep while thinking and Jeremy dressed me.

"What is it?" I asked sitting up.

Jillian had a smile on her face. "You have another imprinted child!" She told me happily.

My mouth dropped open. Another one? "

Who imprinted on you?"

"No not me mom. David and Leah." Did she just say David and Leah?

No way. First Karen and Seth now David and Leah. Who next? Jillian and...no, I'm not even going to think about this. I'm not going to pair my daughter up with someone in my head just to have it come true. I shook my head.

Jillian's smile faded. "Mom what's wrong? You don't seem happy."

"That's because I'm not." I said dryly getting out of bed, there was no going back to sleep now.

"Why not? There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with Seth and Leah."

I sighed. "We might think there's anything wrong with them now but we can't be for sure. We have no idea what kind of secrets their keeping from us. I just don't want them to get hurt..."

"Like you did?" Jillian said her voice sounding angry. Why was she mad?

I nodded. "Yes like I did."

Jillian began to glare at me. What was wrong with her? She walked up to me, she looked as if she was going to say something but didn't. She just stood there glaring at me.

There was a knock at the door.

"Come in." I called.

And in walked Jillian?!

What?!

The Jillian in whom woke me up got a devilish grin on her face.

I backed away. "What's going on here?" I whispered my voice not quite working to the level it should be.
