Place: Alleyway Next to the Darkness; Port Angeles

Date: Friday, November 22

"L-Laurent?" I whispered quietly. My heart beat slammed into my rib cage wildly. One part of me was so happy to see him, it almost made the existence of the Cullens real again but another part of me was terrified; I was in an alley. Alone. With a Vampire.

"Ah Evian, I knew it was you; I could smell you from miles away", one of his arms was hidden behind his back and his other arm motioned to me. "It's lovely to see you", he said with a fierce grin that made my spine tingle. "Where is your mate", my heart panged with pain but I kept a straight face.

"She's in the club", I bold face lied.

"You've been crying?" he asked and I wiped at my eyes.

"All the smoke in the room can be quite irritating", I told him wiping at my running mascara. He stepped closer as I weakly stood up. We were doing something similar to a dance both of us adjacent from the other moving when the other would. My back was to the open alley and his to the rather tall wall.

"I find it unsure that she would leave you alone like this…I don't smell her near", he smirked. My heart dropped and I knew he knew my lie.

"What are you doing here?" I asked trying to change the subject to something else.

"Oh, doing a favor for Victoria", his mouth formed a wider grin when my heart picked up. "I was on my way to the Cullens when I picked up your scent, I was…curious", his head lulled to the side and his arm waved around again. He was stepping closer to me and my body felt like it was glued to the ground. I felt the wind pick up brushing against my neck, my hair tickled my face. Laurent groaned loudly and his shoulders dropped his head lulling back. He opened his eyes and they were now a black color.

"L-Laurent…Rosalie is right inside", I warned in a lie trying to not show my fear. He licked his lips and began to prowl closer. His body was coiled like a spring as he stepped closer his shoulder's dropped low.

"I can see why the blonde keeps you around…your scent is…tempting", he stepped into my space bubble. His hands brushed my pulse and he breathed deeply. "You're very pretty as well…well when you're not covered in this black garbs", he was whispering so low I had to strain to hear him. "Perhaps I shall just change you and keep you…as my pet". I let out a shaky breathe as my chest rose and lowered quickly.

"EVIAN", I blinked and Laurent was gone. I gasped for breath and I turned to see Cara. She walked over quickly and hugged me tight. "What are you doing out here alone…come on let's go inside", she began to drag me away. "You could have gotten hurt", she scolded me as I stared at where Laurent had been.

"You have no idea", I muttered before turning and following her back into the club.

Date: Monday, December 15

Place: Forks, Washington

"THEN HE FELL", we all roared into laughter as we drove down the street.

"CARA PASS THE JACK!" called out Warrick and Cara passed him the Jack. John drove the van we all sat in talking and drinking and smoking. I had a joint in my hand; I took a hit and then passed it back to William. I leaned back on the seat and Cara leaned against me her hand sliding up and down my thigh. I wore my signature leather jacket which was worn down now; I also wore a small red skirt that barely went mid-drift to my thigh and a ripped up black long sleeved shirt. I had thrown on some black leggings to match and since it was winter in Forks.

"Let's stop at the store", slurred out William as he took another hit of the joint. We all roared in agreement are stomachs growling from having the munchies. We all stumbled out the van and onlookers gave us disapproving looks. John was the only one close to being sober so he drove. Cara grabbed my arm and I wrapped it around her shoulder since neither of us could really stand up straight.

"Snacks", she muttered and I chuckled we both turned to the next aisle. I let go of Cara and bent down to grab a candy bar. My shirt and leather jacket rode up revealing the start of my full back tattoo. It started from the bottom of my back with a phoenix that soared up my back. It had taken a couple sessions at Hot Fire but it was finished and healed now.

"Evian…Evian!" I looked up the second time. My brain was blurred by the alcohol and weed, plus I was tired and I hadn't been called Evian in a while.

"Bella", I said in shock.

"Bella…who is this", I looked at the tan, HUGE boy next to her.

Bella's POV

"This is Evian, Jake", I muttered still in shock. It barely looked like Evian now though. Her hair was butchered to a short length; one side of her hair was shorter than the other as the style. She had a lot of black eye make-up on, her lip was pierced; you could tell she was on something. She stood full length hiding the tattoo that was on her back. She looked so different; her mouth was a little ajar to see me.

She pushed her hair out of her face and behind her ear; her ear was covered in piercings now. You could barely see the old Evian now. Edward leaving me had been physically obvious yes but Evian looked like a completely different person.

"Jackkkk", I looked over at the green haired chick that grabbed Evian's arm wrapping it around her shoulder. Was Evian dating this girl? The girl stumbled a little clearly drunk.

"Bella, maybe we should go", Jacob grabbed my arm but I shook it away. It wasn't the Evian I remember but seeing Evian made the Cullens a little real again. It made me sure that they had existed.

"Can we talk", I whispered to her and I noticed Cara's eyes fill with jealousy.

"Cara this is…Bella", Cara's eyes emptied of jealousy.

"Oh…her", she didn't sound so happy to see me.

"We need to talk…real quick", Cara huffed and pouted at Evian. Evian gave her a hard look and she sighed nodding. Before Cara could walk away with a hard look Evian grabbed her and hugged her.

"Get Warrick to buy more Jack Daniels", I don't think she wanted us to hear it but we did. Cara looked happy again and kissed Evian's cheek skipping off in her tight little mini skirt.

"Evian…what happened to you", I blurted out. Her eyes became cold and her shoulder's stiffened.

That's all for now! I hope you enjoyed the chapter. Please review and tell me how I'm doing. Have I been slowing things down? Am I describing enough? Please give me some feedback. Thanks! Toodles!
