We all thought the Red Castle would be safe. However, last night something terrible happened. After I proposed to Rose we went on a walk through the halls. Everything was deserted; we simply thought it was because our friends and siblings had decided to give us privacy.

I walked her to her room and smiled at her. I leaned in and kissed her cheek, but that wasn't enough for her. She gave me this mischievous grin and basically attacked me… well; I let her so I don't know if it qualifies as an attack. I pushed her against the door and opened it after a minute, but then we heard yelling.

"Emmett!" Edward screamed; he was running toward us. Rosalie and I quickly separated from each other, my face got warm. Edward was out of breath. I grabbed him and pulled him aside.

"Yay to ruin the moment, man," I hissed. Edward just gave me a look, as though now was not the time. So I asked, "What?"

"There are people outside, trying to get in," he exclaimed. I stared at him, wide eyed. It wasn't until Rose said something that I had realized that she heard what Edward had said.

"Wait, there are people here!?" she closed the distance between herself and Edward and me.

"Yes, and none of us know who they are," said Edward.

"I bet I know who they are," I growled and I stormed down the hall. Before I went downstairs though, I grabbed my gun from my room. I also put a blade in my shoe, 'just in case'. Then I started to run towards the stairs, by now Edward and Rosalie had caught up and they were right behind me.

I got to the bottom of the staircase and saw Jasper, Alice and Bella. My eyes rested on my baby sister… and her stomach. It was larger than I last looked and that sent me over the edge. My sister and niece/nephew weren't getting hurt because these people were after me.

I knew they were after me. They would know that they would need to kill me in order to get to Rose. Therefore, everything that was happening at that moment was my fault. I grab Bella's shoulders and whisper in her ear, "Go to the 'Meeting Room', with Rose and Alice, stay there and don't come out until I tell you." She nods her head and takes the girls with her.

I walk over to Jasper and say, "You and Edward have to go to your father's meeting room. Put the bars on all the entry ways and stay there." Jasper stares at me. Edward starts walking after the girls and I'm left alone with Jasper.

"You asked her?" he asks me, I nod my head and he smiles and says, "Than I know you won't let anything happen tonight. Because now you're set on marrying my sister and will do whatever it takes to do so." Then he walks away. Once again he has left me baffled at how calm, 'all knowing' and smart he really is.

I wait three minutes and then I walk toward the front door. I open it and see three men; neither one of them is a good assassin; I smirk. "Hey Emmett!" Mike shouts; I try not to roll my eyes, "Since when are you a traitor!?"

"I'm not a traitor, numb skull, I simply just discovered which of my jobs was the right one," I say, Mike, Eric and Tyler laugh as though doing the right thing amuses them.

"Just get down here right now, McCarthy and we'll settle this here and now," says Tyler.

"Ok," I say. I shut the door behind me and run down the stairs. I punch Tyler in the nose and knee Eric in the groin. Eric rolls on the ground in pain and Tyler is passed out. I grab Mike's collar and push him against the wall of the house. I hold the gun against his head and say, "Talk Newton, or I'll blow your head to pieces."

"FINE!" he exclaims, "We came here to take care of you. Boss thought all three of us could take you on…"

"Or he thought all three of you were dead weight and wanted to get rid of you. So he chose to send you three to me so I could kill you and then be tired out when he sent in the assassins who are actually good," I growl, "Tell me what he plans to do to Rose."

"Who?"

"ROSALIE HALE!" I yell in his face.

"Oh. Well after he had you out of the way he wanted to make her pay."

"Pay for what!?"

"For breaking up with him." My mouth dropped and I let go of Mike's collar.

"You three have thirty seconds to leave," I said and I began to count. Eric and Mike jumped up and dragged Tyler to the boat that they must've taken here. As they drive away something dawns on me. If they knew where to find us, than He knew as well; no, not He as in God, but He as in my ex-boss. The evil jack ass who wanted to make Rose pay… for breaking up with him.

*****

That's what happened last night. After I told them all what happened Rosalie became pale. And she started to stutter so bad she couldn't explain anything to us. Jasper tried to comfort her and she started to cry. I wondered if he knew anything about this but soon Rose fainted.

Edward and I carried her to her room and lied her down. Edward left and I considered undressing her so she would be more comfortable. She was my fiancée now, after all. I just took her shoes off though and lay next to her. Rose woke up around seven with only a small head ache. Now we are all in the meeting room with the bars over all the entry ways.

Rose takes a deep breath and tells us what she was trying to last night, "When I was starting my career, I met someone. He was so nice to me, while everyone else was always judging me. We became very, very good friends.

"One day we went on a date. It was our first date and I was so excited because even though I told myself when I started singing and acting that I wouldn't date around and fall for guys, I was falling for him. He was charismatic and after our date I thought I was in love."

Rosalie paused and wiped a tear from the corner of her eye. It made my heart hurt because this story, that seemed so happy, was about to take a turn for the worse, that I knew.

"I brought him home, remember Jasper? It was when I was still living at your house," she starts talking again and Jasper nods, "we continued to date for a long time. At the premiere of my first movie he walked the red carpet with me. That night just seemed so perfect, everyone loved the movie and I was in love. Also, my first c.d. was about to be released.

"However, something seemed very wrong with our relationship after that night. He kept sending odd texts or emails to people. He was spending a lot of the money in our shared checking account at places like hunting stores. It began to scare me."

Rosalie stopped talking and Alice started, "You guys had a shared checking account?"

"Well, it was mostly money I made from my first movie, but he contributed to it. We set it up before the movie premiere. He thought it was a good step in our relationship. I was his sheep and he was shepherding me through the first two years of my career.

"Anyways, a year after the movie premiere he wanted to go farther in our relationship. You know, farther." She stopped talking again. We all realized what she meant. They obviously hadn't done the 'horizontal hokey pokey' yet and he wanted to. I tried to refrain from narrowing my eyes at the thought.

"I didn't want to though and he got annoyed. But then I think he thought that I wanted to wait until marriage. So, that's why he proposed to me the next night. That's when I realized he didn't love me, but just my money and my looks.

"I turned him down and kicked him out of my apartment. The next day I discovered he had withdrawn all of my money from the shared banking account. I didn't care though; I just never wanted to see him again."

She stopped and I got up and began pacing. I wanted to break something that's how incredibly angry I was. I feel as though Rosalie sensed my fury because she stood up and said, "I'm sorry."

I glared at her. How dare she apologize! This wasn't her fault at all! I strode over to her and grabbed her by the shoulders. I looked her in the eyes and then I kissed her. I know it's just the sort of sappy-romance-movie type of a thing to do but I don't care. I love her and hate putting the blame for this all on her. I whisper into her ear and say, "It isn't your fault Rose. It's all his… You're innocent."

How sweet! Anyways, last night I was trying to sleep and I remembered that I haven't done much to this story. SO, I decided to write this chapter; which kind of works out because my school was closed for maintenance today. So, please review and I'll try to update a bit more than usual.
