After the failed hunt, Kate and Garrett were making their back home. They were walking in human speed because they didn't want to finish the time that they can be alone. They had been in silence, just enjoying the company of each other. Garrett couldn't believe that he was to weak to resist to the spell of human blood and at the same time he did hurt Kate, the one who trusted him with everything that she had! He was blaming himself and Kate know it. Kate was feeling guilty because she needed to be more careful to where they were hunting, after all this "new world" was something new and could be very hard and difficult for Garrett during this first times, but then she remembered that it was not anyone fault! She wasn't Alice to previse what the future say and Garrett couldn't blame himself because his was a nomad since he woke up for his new life like a vampire and he did the hard step that it was to change, not only for her but for him too! She could say that even her slipped some time in the start, of course she blamed herself but it was just the progress, she needed to practice and she succeeded. So, it was time to Garrett understand that! She stoped waiting for him to know that she wasn't walking anymore, and when he did he turned to see her eyes, her golden and beautiful eyes...
"Kat..." he started, somehow feeling a little worried.
"No Garret! Stop talking right now, you're gonna listen to what I'm going to say, do you understand?" He only nodded "You have to stop what you doing. Blaming yourself it isn't going to work, only makes hard thhis new thing that you are trying to do! I already told you that me and my family weren't perfect and seeing you hurt yourself like this, is... is killing me! You have to understand that what happened will happen again, even with me or another from the family! But you have to know that no matter what, we will be right by your side, I will be by your side, Garrett"
"I'm sorry, Kate..." he started to said "I did'nt mean to hurt you, now and before, it's... it's that knowing that you will be disappointed with me..." and with that he looked to the ground.
"Look at me" he didn't "Look at me now, Garrett! I will never be disappointed at you" she said this a little angry, he didn't deserve this kind of discussion right now, but he needed to hear what she had to say to him "And if say that you are sorry again, I will shock you until you stop doing this! And I'm serious..."
Garrett started to laugh very hard but then stoped because she wasn't laughing, neither smiling a little. Then, when he was starting to get a little worried, she started to laugh and he joined her.
"Alright, I'll do my best... Just don't kill me" he said to her.
He closed the distance between them and kissed her. She returned the kiss with passin and plesure, putting her arms around his neck and caressing his hair. His arms was around her waist, then she put her legs around his waist making him pass his hands, which were in her waist to her buttocks. He pressed her against a tree, who made her groan. She started to taking off his shirt and send it to the ground. When he was starting to taking off her shirt the phone rang... None of them want to answer it, but could be something urgent. They let go of each other, and if they were humans, they probably be breathless. Kate took the phone from her jeans and said:
"Yes? Oh, what is it? We were returning home..." then she look to Garrett eyes and remembered "umm, are Eleazar and Carmen there? Great, we need to talk and please listen first. See ya"
"Tanya could wait a little more!" Garrett said turned to Kate. She answered with her head, saying no "Alright let's go home and face them" he said with gasp.
"Don't be afraid"
"Never, woman!"
They kissed and made they way home. Of course, they were a little hesitant but they knew that sooner or later, they needed to face the family. Meanwhile, they were already at home where Tanya, Carmen and Eleazar waited for them. When they entered in home, the three of them gasped in shocked and horror because of Garrett eyes wich means that he couldn't resist. Garrett looked to the ground embarrassed with himself, Kate hold his hand and held it! Tanya put in front of him and hugged him. This kind of reception shocked him a little... he wasn't waiting! Tanya pull out and then was the turn of Camen. Eleazar only put a hand on his shoulder as if he was saying the he understand!
"Don't worry Garrett! It happened with us" said Tanya "You are doing a great job. I talk for myself when in the past I slipped many times... many times!"
"I already told him that! But he insist to feel bad!" said Kate, giving a little smile to Garrett who responsed with a shrug.
"I know that this is going to be hard but..." Garrett looked to Kate and seeing that she was about to say something, he continued "but it's anew challenge! And I'm going to overtake this"
This made Kate, Tanya, Carmen and Eleazar started to laugh. Kate hugged him and Garrett only put his chin over her head.
"Kate can you go with me and Carmen to the town?" asked Tanya with shining eyes "I need to make something too"
Kate looked to Garrett and asked him without words he nodded and kissed her softly before she and Tanya pass the door.
"Take care of him, Elezar" she kissed him, hugged Garrett who hugged her back "Adiós" and with that she no longer was with them in home. They listened the car start working and with that Eleazar and Garrett were alone. They went to sit in the couch.
"Eleazar" started Garrett "how do you mange to control your thirst, I mean... animal blood it's not that good and it's gross"
Eleazar laugh and answered.
"Well, it took me long time to control it! Even now, it's a little hard but I, we all know taht you can do it. If you want an example, look at Jasper!"
"What Jasper have to do with this?"
"Well, I tell you the full story for you understand. Let's see... He was born in Texas and joined the Confederate States Army in 1861 to serve in the American Civil War. Due to his extremely charismatic personality, he ascended through the ranks quickly. Jasper was turned into a vampire in 1863 by a vampire named Maria when he was 19 years old. After transformation, he gained the ability to sense and manipulate the emotions of those around him. Recognizing his high rank in the army, Maria decided to change him into a vampire to help her claim territory in Monterrey. Jasper's responsibility was to train young vampires and then kill them when they were no longer useful. After about a century of this, he grew weary of the lifestyle and joined an old friend, Peter, and his mate Charlotte. Jasper left the two eventually, not wanting to feed on humans because he could feel his prey's emotions as they died. Alice, foreseeing that they would be together, met him in a half-empty diner in Philadelphia, and together they sought out the Cullen family. Due to his past, where he was able to feed on humans whenever he chose, Jasper lacks strong self-control" Eleazar stoped for a little, looked to Garrett who was listenning very carefully "Telling his story is for you to see that Jasper has the same problem that you are having now! Even so, he chooses to try harder and harder... specially because he wants to make proud Alice"
"It's good to know his and Alice story and I feel that to! I want to make Kate proud" he said with a sigh.
"She already have proud on you and she is very happy that you are staying here. I will have and eye on you" he said with a smile.
"I promise that I won't hurt her. I will protect her of everything, even that Kate can protect herself"
They kept talking a little more until Eleazar went to his office working on something and Garrett stayed on the couch reading a book of war. Two hours passed and the noise of a car invaded the house and both Garrett and Eleazar knew that the girls had arrived but only Carmen passed by the door. Garrett took his eyes from the book he was reading and looked to Carmen and Eleazar that now was right beside her hugging her. Garrett got to his feet and asked:
"Where is Kate and Tanya?"
"Go see in the roof, but try not make much noise! They need that" responsed Carmen. And with that Garrett made his way to where the two sisters where. They were facing the sundown with flowers in both of their hands. Garrett hugged Kate and didn't say nothing.
"She was the best, cheerful, caring person" Tanya started to say. Garrett immediately know that they were talking about Irina. He started to let go her waist so that they could be alone but Kate stoped.
"She was always smiling and know when we needed support. Even from a vampire she was gorgeous and beautiful from outside and inside" Kate said.
"We hope that you are in a better place because you don't deserve hell, just heaven!" finalized Tanya. And with that both of them dropped the flowers and the wind did it fly.
"I know that I didn't know... Irina, but by the way you guys describe her... she should be a great woman and I'm sad that I didn't have the chance to know her" Garrett said. His words made Tanya smiled, she hugged him and made her way to the room. Kate turned to see Garrett smiling softly, he opened his arms and Kate jump on it. It was like she was crying without tears. Garrett put a finger on her chin and lifted her head to make eye contact with her. He caressed her face and moved to kissed her. She responsed puting her arms around his neck. Something interrupted their kiss. The sound and the smell of someone. When they look to the front they realised that was eight vampires about 30 feet from the house. They jumped from the roof and met the others already on the outside.
"Who are they?" asked Camen.
" It seems that we need to find out!"answered Tanya. At the same time, both groups were closing the space between them.
"Who of you are Tanya and Katrina?" asked the tall and muscled man. He had short and blonde hair. His clothes were nothing special. But his eyes were dark red!
"Who wants to know?" asked coldly Eleazar. Tanya and Kate looked at each other. The man at front notices this and said:
"I see... You two are more beautiful than what I thought" he made a step at the front and greeted them bowing. They only step back a little and groan a little "Where are my manners? My name is Roberto! Pleasure"
"It's all yours" responsed Kate.
"I'm here to make you a offer... and the offer is to enter to the Volturi. Most Katrina... Aro likes very much your power but Tanya can go to"
"Roberto" Said Kate making a step forward, moving away from her family. That just made Garrett feel nervous and worried "My answer is... no! Now you can go back from the place you just came"
"I'm sorry that you said that" and with a move quite fast he slapped in her face making her fly against a tree. She groaned very hard and got up quickly.
"Kate!" screamed Garrett. He pushed Roberto against a tree making entering the forest. When he turned to see if Kate was ok, he saw that she was battling against one vampire with the height of Emmett and really muscled. But she shocked him very hard and he was already in his knees. And with a quick but softly move she took off his head. Tanya and Carmen was having a fight against tree vampires, they were in a mortal synchrony. Eleazar fight against one vampire because the second was already dead in the ground. Kate joined to her sisters. Garrett started to fight the vampire was left, the other was inside the forest yet. By this time Kate and Carmen already killed one and went quickly to join to their sister. Garrett had killed the imperative vaampire that he was fighting and Eleazar finished the other too. Tanya was still fighting one but he dicide to run away. But of a moment to another Roberto was trying to kill Tanya. Kate shocked him but he manage to resist and gave her a shot that made Kate fall on top of Carmen. When he was ready to kill Tanya somethind send him away. When she looked up, she saw one vampire with black hair and almost with the heigh of Garrett. He wasn't so muscled like Emmett of Jasper but he was beautiful. He was wearing a black jeans and gray shirt, he was wearing a black boots and had a dark scarf.
Right now, Kate was beside Tanya helping her get up. After that Garrett was hugging Kate.
"Are you ok, Kate?" he asked.
"I'm fine, thank you for caring" and with that she kissed him.
The unknow guy that saved their beloved sister turned to face the family, just one question was hovering the air.
"Who are you?"
