Hola, I know a lot of you couldn't review chapter 16, and I know why. Because I deleted my Author Notes so it told you that you already reviewed it, but hopefully you can review this one!

Lizzy POV

I stared up at her perfectly symmetrical face in silence; I wondered why Edward or someone had come down to do something…

"If you're wondering where they are, they're out hunting. They trust me enough not to kill you, and your mother is sleeping in Edward's room." She stated bluntly.

"Ok…" That's all I could muster.

"I don't hate you, you know."

"… uh –huh."

Her face contorted. "You don't believe me do you?"

I just turned my head away from her penetrating gaze. How could I believe her? Did she remember how she talked about me as if I wasn't even there? I felt hurt and she expected me to just say "ok'' like it was all fine and dandy?

"Look, I reacted that way because… well it was just a touchy subject is all." I turned my head back to her. "I know you're smart enough to have figured out that werewolves and vampires are enemies, fated to fight til the death." Suddenly my dream from a couple of days ago flew back at me.

I was walking in the forest of Forks. Not La Push. That was weird, since when do I take the time to walk somewhere other than La Push?

Realizing this I turned on my heels in the direction of home, though it was home everything around me was screaming to turn away and run.

I didn't understand these signals; I mean its home why wouldn't I go there?

As I walked closer I started to feel… different…

Then a giant russet wolf stood about 10 yards away from me; why didn't I run? I had a feeling in my gut that as long as I didn't get closer… it wouldn't hurt me. Not that it had a conscious, but that it couldn't hurt me over here.

Then a visible barrier was between us, and I saw a line in the ground that stretched as far as my eyes could see.

He lunged.

I cringed and waited for the ripping and snarling; when I looked after a few seconds I saw he was trying to push the barrier away. But he couldn't.

I didn't know it was a dream which made it all the scarier, but the wolf rung some kind of faint bell in my head.

The way he snarls so hatefully as if he is screaming profanities… the way he looks way too big to be a normal wolf… the familiar hate in his black eyes…

I wasn't alone anymore. I looked to my sides to see 8 unfamiliar people.

One was a small, black haired girl. She snarled at the wolf. The one next to her was tall and had blonde hair, he was holding her back.

There was a tall brawny man standing next to a beautiful blonde woman, then there was a blonde man with a caramel colored haired woman next to him.

There were two more but I couldn't see their faces.

Everyone's stance suddenly came to my mind; they looked like they were… defending me. Why would they waste their time defending me? I've never met them, I'm nothing to them.

Then I saw their fangs when the brawny man growled menacingly. They were vampires…

The wolf wasn't alone either, other wolves joined him to outnumber the vampires.

The other two vampires were now perfectly clear, Edward, in all his vampireness.

And an unfamiliar woman… though she looked familiar too. Her hair was so familiar to me; her body shape was so known. Who was she?

She suddenly leapt forward and took a protective stance right in front of me, unlike the others who were only at my sides.

I looked at her closely and slowly her looks changed. Changed to look like my mother.

She leaned down to my level and spoke in my Mother's voice.

"Who am I?"

With that last line, the barrier broke down, and the russet wolf pounced on her back with a flash of lighting.

I couldn't hear anything Aunt Rosalie was saying.

The people from my dream were the Cullens! Ugh I'm such a freaking idiot! How could I not realize that before?! I recognized them all! Except…

The woman next to Edward; at the end of my dream she turned into my Mom… Was she my mom?

"… so the reason I haven't been liking you is I couldn't believe Edward would accept you because you are the daughter of a werewolf-"

"Aunt Rose, was there any chance thirteen years ago that Mom would have been a vampire?"

She grew very silent and her face went hard. She seemed to be concentrating very hard on something.

"Yes…" She said hesitantly. "You're Mother had a very strong desire to become one of us so she could be with Edward forever. She feared getting older than seventeen."

Oh, that explained a lot. Whenever her birthday would come around, she would just sulk in her room refusing to eat or do anything (unless Dad ordered her to). I always figured it was because she didn't like getting old like other ladies.

"I wouldn't be surprised if she still had the desire to…" She trailed off.

I froze and I stared up at the ceiling… not seeing anything.

Does Mom still want to be a vampire? Would she do that? I turned my gaze toward the staircase. I wasn't sure how to think of that; if she did I wasn't sure how I would feel.

"Well, Lizzy do you forgive me? I promise I'll behave. I understand vaguely of your pain, and I hope that we could bond because I know Edward loves you like his own and I don't want to have a bad relationship with you."

"Sure, sure Aunt Rose, of course I forgive you."

Her voice went hard. "You still don't believe me."

"Oh, no it's not that it's just… I was thinking about Mom and being a vampire… I just don't know what to think of it."

Understanding crossed her features. "Oh I get it, don't worry, you're a smart girl and you'll figure out what to do." She kissed my forehead and then she was gone.

The only sound in the whole house was the monotonous ticking of the grandfather clock and the occasional sound of some animal outside.

I thought and thought and thought for what seemed to be an eternity. I decided it wouldn't help to just lay here and wonder; I had to get some answers. So I stood up and went to the stairs, I was at the top of the staircase to realize that Aunt Rose hadn't come out. I guessed she went hunting too.

I opened many doors because I didn't know which one belonged to Edward. I went into so many rooms I thought I was in a hotel or something. Then on the third floor, the last door in the hallways, I opened it expecting another dead end. But to my intense surprise, I saw Mom laying on a giant bed in the middle of the room. She looked so peaceful I decided it was best not to wake her.

As I was about to close the door I heard her start to mumble.

"hm… I don't know… it's been years… I'm not sure I want to be a vampire… because I have to think of Lizzy... I need to be there for her… I have responsibilities…" She was having a dream conversation.

She would give up forever with Edward for me?

That's not right, I mean she has her own life, and I shouldn't interfere with that.

I walked out of the room and back downstairs, with a new goal. I couldn't let Mom worry about me; she has to have happiness her way. I would show her that. One way or another.

Ok sooooooo I have an idea and IT DOESN'T INVOLVE FLUFF! The plot just grew longer!
