Auther's note- Hi all... I got nothing really important to say, but i just wanted to say hi... that and i want a churro...

"Here is your room..." Jane said.

The room was spacious and cozy... Subtle tones of brown and green gave off a natural look, that seemed to be as if it would be perfectly normal to stumble across the room in the middle of the forest.

Byron turned to Jane and said, "Thank you, Jane... I appreciate you showing me around..."

Byron could tell that if Jane could have, she would have blushed. "Well normally we let one of the receptionist's show around the new members of the guard, but seeing as how Alec has a habit of... entertaining the staff... I figured... maybe... I should take it upon myself..."

Byron caught on to what was making Jane so nervous. "Would you like to come in? I swear I won't bite." with a look on his face that seemed to say, 'Unless you want me to...'

Jane gave Byron a little smile and said, "s-sorry I have to go see if... uh... if I can find my brother..." Jane practically ran down the hall, much to the amusement of Byron.

Byron started to unpack his few meager possessions, his clothes, his toothbrush and toothpaste, and few other necessities, but once he got to the bottom of his pouch, his heart nearly stopped, its not that he didn't know it wasn't there, he just wasn't prepared for the brutal onslaught of emotions that he felt upon looking at the only picture he brought...

Flashback...

Raven and I are at the park, and mom and dad are on the bench, just watching us play. It was the summer break between fourth and fifth grade, and was unnaturally sunny for the reservation.

Raven and I are laughing so hard that we don't even know why anymore. God, her laughter is beautiful... I wish I could listen to it forever...She is so beautiful, I wish I could just hold her and never let go... I think I love her, but... what if she doesn't love me?

That sobered me up immediately.

"Hey, Byron, what's wrong?" Raven asked. Her voice is amazing, even when it's tainted with concern.

I smiled as I realized that that concern was for me!

"I... I just realized something, but, I... I'm too embarrassed to say it," I turn away with a slight blush that was barely see able in my skin tone, but was obviously there.

"Come on, silly," Raven said, trying not to laugh at my obvious discomfort. "I promise I will try not to laugh..."

I look back up at her and sighed, "I... I think I love you..."

There was a moment of silence where I was mentally kicking myself for being so stupid, when the most amazing thing happened. She kissed me on the cheek and said, "I think I love you too..." She leaned back over towards me and gave me a proper kiss, and a flash of light came from the park bench, causing us to jump apart and ruining that glorious moment in my life.

Dad said through a load of chuckling, "Sorry, thought I had the flash off."

I got up and was about to say something I would have probably regret, when Raven put her hand on my shoulder. I smiled at her, my anger quickly dissolving in the warmth that seemed to radiate from her.

"Thank you," I said as we both hugged each other and left it at that.

Byron sighed as he put the picture of him and Raven kissing on his night stand. 'I wonder why they have beds in the guard's quarters if none of them even sleep...'

Byron went to sleep the second his head hit the pillow.

Dream...

I'm in the woods by my house... Its me and Raven's special glade that we would always go to if one of us was upset, and needed to talk to the other about it, that place was our solace.

But what was once a solace is now a scene of horror. Raven was in the middle of the glade, slashing her wrists. "I love you, Byron, why did you leave," she repeated over and over as she cut more and more.

I tried to go wrap his arms around her, and comfort her, but he couldn't move. I could only stare in horror as Raven continued to slash away at her wrists and arms. Blood was now pooling at her feet as she slumped down, weary from the loss of blood.

A large gray wolf, that I didn't recognize, came into the glad. He was large and ancient looking,with many battle scars. He was to large to be a natural wolf, but I knew he wasn't one of the shape shifters from La Push.

The wolf seemed to grin maniacally as he stalked towards Raven.

I knew the look on his face, and knew that even if Raven managed to run, she wouldn't get very far. I tried to scream and warn the one I love of what was behind her, but I couldn't make a sound. I could only stand there and watch as my love was about to be ripped to shreds by the strange, gray wolf.

The wolf jumped on Raven and bit her, but before he could do more, a large sandy colored wolf jumped into the clearing and saved Raven. I watched as Seth battled the ancient gray wolf, watching until finally the gray wolf defeated Seth and set his eyes back on Raven.

'No,' I thought, 'No, this can't be happening, no, no, no, No, NO'

"NO!" Byron sat bolt upright. Covered in sweat and panting really hard, Byron started his mental process for calming his heart rate.

"Is the girl in the picture Raven?"

Byron just about jumped out of his skin at the sound of the little teenage boy sitting in a chair across from Byron.

"How... how do you know her name?" Byron asked, still somewhat shaken from both his dream and being caught off his guard.

Alec smiled, "you talk in your sleep, you started yelling in the end and Aro sent me to see if you are well..."

"Sorry about that... I usually don't have to deal with night terrors... If I have offended any of the inhabitants in the castle, I am truly sorry."

Alec gave Byron a little nod. Then sighed, "Byron, I have an ulterior motive to coming down here to speak with you..."

Byron was immediately cautious, "Sorry, I don't exactly swing that way..."

Alec was taken back for a second, then burst into laughter, "I assure you, its nothing like that," he said through his bouts of laughter.

Byron was still cautious, "Okay, then what was it you came to talk to me about?"

Alec immediately sobered up. "My sister, Jane... She seems to be quite taken with you..."

Byron knew that this could either be a good thing or a bad thing so he decided to play it even more cautiously, "I kind of picked up on that... I understand that she is your sister, and I will respect your wishes as well as her own in this matter..."

Alec smiled, "Good, just make sure that if you get her hopes up, and you break them, I'll break you... Get it?"

Byron was able to smile and said, "I can respect that... I think you and I will end up being good friends..."

Alec looked confused for a second, "Wait... I just threatened you... and you say we can be good friends?"

Byron laughed, "Ya, I've always been a few fries short of a happy meal."

This cause Alec to laugh, "Would you like help getting to sleep or do you think you can keep yourself from screaming again?"

"Depends on your methods," Byron said trying to keep on joking.

Alec chuckled, "Well, I don't particularly care for you in that way, I'll leave that to my sister... I meant the sensory deprivation."

Byron said a little sleepily, "That would be nice..."

Alec nodded, "Good night, little one."
