Hey guys! So this first week back to school has been a crazy one! Essay's and endless homework was thrown at me on the first day but I was able to squeeze in a little writing that I had in my rare spare time. So in the chapter we dig deeper into Kim's and Emmett's relationship whether they're gonna develop or stay in love with the people they choose. :)

Chapter 6

Kim POV

They led me through the woods for about a mile or so, it wasn't far from the house that's for sure. It was a small house, acquainted for a small family but it was so nice and cozy looking on this inside. You could tell right away that it was an old house because even graceful vampires made the floors creak with every step. The walls were painted a light blue with white trimmings but the kitchen was an eggshell white to compliment the lighting. It was big enough to fit a full fridge, a new stove and align one side of the wall with counter tops but not big enough to fit a table in. Although, assuming they had family dinner at the big white house, I guess it wasn't needed. The living room had nice, modern brown couches, a glass coffee table and two brown chairs on either side with pillows that complimented the house in general. There was a plasma screen hanging on the wall surrounded by picture frames hung up on the wall of the family. I was amazed at how much they could fit in a house so small and so limited.

Bella and Edward gave me a tour of the house before going back for a family meeting. They said to make myself at home and if I needed them for anything to just call for them. I must be honest, I didn't catch on that they meant for me to stick my head out the door and actually call for them until they were gone for a good twenty minutes. I turned on the TV and the first thing that was on was the news and they were still talking about my disappearance.

"Police authorities have now informed us that they assume Kimberly Sullivan was murdered due to the amount of blood found on the sidewalk that Kimberly was last seen. They are now searching for a body." The news anchor said.

My parents then came up on the screen. "We appreciate the efforts of the Seattle Police department," My dad said holding onto my mother who was holding a tissue to her face, she looked like she could collapse at any moment if my father wasn't holding onto her. I could then see Jack in the background and he looked terrible. His hair was all disheveled and he looked like he hadn't slept in days. I looked closer at the screen and I could see one tear roll down the side of his face which he wiped away smoothly with his thumb making it look casual. "Our hearts have been torn since Kimberly was first reported missing and now our hearts are broken at the news that she is no longer living and they cannot find her... her...," My father couldn't finish his sentence without breaking down. I looked back over at Jack and he had began to cry publicly as well. My no longer beating heart seemed to have split in two for I've never seen my father or Jack cry ever. I reached out to the screen and started touching all of their faces then the picture changed back to the anchorman.

He left his condolences for my family and began to report about something else. I wanted to pound on the TV screen but I knew that if I did I would break it and ruin this lovely set up, so I went outside to breath. But instead of that I began to hiccup. I wanted cry, I wanted to mourn for my own death, I wanted to feel my hot tears roll down my face and not stop until I couldn't any more and fall asleep. Dammit, I couldn't even sleep the pain away! I wanted to scream and yell but I didn't want to attract any attention from Edward and Bella and see this hot mess that I am.

"Too late." I looked behind me and saw Edward and Bella. I had forgotten about his mind reading powers.

I just stood there hugging myself, hiccuping like crazy, and there was nothing they could do for the time being to help me heal.

Emmett POV

Rosalie followed me into the house after glaring at Kim because I had my arm around her. I was offering comfort, being friendly but to her it looked romantic. I guess I could see how Rose got that conclusion but there was no reason to be mean to her, I mean after all Rose should know more about what she's going through more than any one else. As I entered the living room, with the exception of Edward and Bella, everyone was there. I tore me apart to see Renesmee here too with Jacob who was giving me daggers because I called him a mutt.

I was about to speak when Carlisle said, "Why don't you wait for Edward and Bella, I think they would like to get Kimberly settled before they come over for the family meeting."

I nodded my head and sat down on the edge of the couch. No one said any thing and we all stood perfectly still, that was the thing about vampires. We could sit still, not move and still be comfortable meaning that we wouldn't shift places because we don't have a build up of muscle tension. We could all hear Bella and Edward give Kim the tour and how she didn't say a word except "Thank you" and "Yup." She was so vulnerable and so out of whack that she didn't know what to do with herself and she was bringing us all down with her negativity. Although I must say, she could have come at a greater time.

Bella and Edward then arrived and we started the family meeting.

"First off," I said, "I would like to apologize for my actions at dinner. They were rude and unacceptable. Secondly, I would like to apologize to Rose for springing this on her because she didn't know I was going to talk about it tonight, hell she thought we were still thinking it over." Everyone nodded their heads forgiving me, except Rosalie. She just kept shooting daggers at me and I continued. "If you guys have any questions, now would be the time to ask them."

They all looked at each other waiting for someone to speak and I could see Jasper and Edward were miserable. Jasper with all kinds of different kinds of feelings going at him and then Edward with all of our thoughts being thrown at him at once. He shot Alice a look and she shrugged her shoulders at whatever she mind told him.

"I guess I will go first." Bella said. "Emmett, you're like my big brother. You accepted me right away and protected me from the beginning... mostly so you could kick some ass though." We all chuckled. "I was just wondering, why are these feelings coming up now? From the response you got at dinner I can only guess that this was entirely unexpected, Edward didn't even know."

They all looked at me, waiting for my answer. "This is unexpected because before I was fine living with you guys. You were the most action packed, drama filled, loving family I have ever met but recently I just felt something missing in my life and I thought if we moved away from you guys we could find it. Just be by ourselves, to live our own vampire lives like you did Carlisle. Maybe even form our own clan." I said.

Rosalie stood up. "But that's why we're all here for support to help out a situation together like a normal family."

I shrugged her off. "I am the last person to say that we are not normal because I've liked who I have become and what we do but normal families grow out of them and move out and build families of their own."

"Yes but it is best for us to stay together because we work better here than apart. Besides Alice and Jasper moved out."

"They still live in Forks, Rose. They live two miles from the house. They are not the greatest example to use, no offense." I said to them.

"None taken." Jasper said.

She sat down again flustered to be unable to get through to me.

"Where would you go?" Renesmee asked. "I mean would you still stay in Washington or would you leave the state or... what?"

"Well, my game plan was at first to stay within the state and then move on throughout the country where we could."

Rose snorted but didn't comment.

"Well then if you get to leave then can me and Nessie leave?" Jacob said.

"No." Everybody said in unison. Nessie tugged on his arm and smacked it. She had to imprint with the neanderthal. Edward snorted in agreement with me.

Just then we heard a TV turn on in Bella and Edward's house to the news. We all sighed because we knew what was broadcasting.

"What are we going to do about her?" Rosalie spit out.

Carlisle folded his hands and looked at Edward who nodded. "She'll be staying with Bella and I until she gets used to living with our ways. Hopefully we will adopt her as one of our own when we leave."

"We're leaving?" Nessie exclaimed.

"We've been here too long sweetie." Bella soothed. "We'll talk about it more tomorrow when we know more about the situation with Kim."

It wasn't long that the door at their shack opened and closed and you could hear the hiccups began. I looked towards the door.

"Should I...?"

"No!" Rose sneered. "You're not leaving this house your going to do your usual routine at night and so am I."

"Oh so you are letting stay tonight huh?" I snapped back.

She glared at me. "You know, I change my mind. If you want to leave, go but bring your little hussy with you." Indicating Kim.

"Okay, well we have to go but we'll be back tomorrow." Bella said saying their goodbyes to everyone and unfortunately leaving me behind.

"You know Rose, I thought you would be a little more sympathetic to her seeing as she's going through exactly what you went through only her boyfriend treated her right. Now you're just being a bitch!" I couldn't believe I said those words. I wanted to take them back as soon as I said them but I couldn't and I could feel everyone's eyes on us in shock.

"You know Emmett, I'm getting real tired of this attitude of yours-"

"Jake, take Nessie out enough so that she cant hear whats going on but not too far so that we can't hear you." Carlisle said with warning interrupting what Rose was saying which didn't matter cause she picked up where she left off when they were out the door.

"Assuming things that I don't want, being rude to our family, and being the asshole the you are, you think that's okay but its not!"

"I'm an asshole?"

"Yes!"

"Well isn't that just a wonderful love story, Bitch and the Asshole!" I said remembering the times that in the beginning of our relationship they would call us Beauty and the Beast only I was so mad at her I couldn't stay near her any longer.

I began to walk out grabbing my Jacket and my riding helmet.

"And where the hell are you going?" Rosalie said

"Away from you." I said walking out to my bike. I kicked it to life and sped away.

I didn't know where I was going and I didn't care. I thought that I might ride down to the reservation and hang with some of the wolves. So I took a right and went down through Forks. People were still out having dinner or a late night drink and stared at me as I went by them. They knew it was me and it was okay to be out because technically we are not supposed at college yet but they were all still curious of why I was headed to the reservation at such a late time.

It felt good to go out and go fast feeling nothing but power and release and no cops were out this late at night. It was a small town and not much happened. No burglaries, no home invasions, not even a cat stuck up in a tree. Oh wait, that's the fire department. Eh, doesn't matter cause they ain't working either so their was no need to slow down. It let me clear my head going fast and its okay to lose control on that one ride because its so rare. Granted I'm built like steal and have killer instincts but if I'm off my game, motorcycles can be as dangerous for us as they are for humans, only there's not much of a mess just a lot of explaining to do.

As I neared on the La Push reservation the stench of dog over powered me. I had gotten used to living with one dog but twelve, not so much. A howl rang out as my presence grew near and a smile ran across my lips. At least they knew I was here. A lot has changed in two years. For example the treaty was no longer valued for us because we had become good allies and good friends but the one thing that we do have to obey is to not to bite another human which we gladly agreed to. Soon I was joined on my ride with a big, gray wolf, Paul. I kicked up the gear just itching for a race and he responded by going faster even getting in the lead. I kicked it more going up on one wheel and gained the lead. He smiled as best he could in wolf form. We kept racing until we reached the end on the road. Paul won of course because my bike didn't have that kind of power but I offered up a rematch sometime. He went into human form and I threw him some clothes that I packed in the compartment just in case something like this happened where he was clothes-less and we had to walk together while Paul was naked.

When he was dressed he shook my hand and greeted me with a smile. "Hey man, long time no see. How's Jake? I haven't seen him in a while."

I shook his hand back and said, "Same, a numbskull and imprinted with my niece." I shrugged and he laughed.

"C'mon on man, I'll invite you in. We were just about to start a game of poker."

"Texas hold 'em?"

"What else?" Paul said. "And get this, we're playing for real money." He raised his eye brows up and down. "So break out that piggy bank rich boy 'cause I'm taking all of your money tonight." He joked.

"Man you still owe me money from when I whooped all of your asses two months ago!"

We laughed and started down for Emily and Sam's house.

Ok, so we got into more of Rosalie's and Emmett's tension and it got ugly. Next week I will be revealing memories from Kimberly and how ROSE NOT Emmett helps her cope. But I must say Im liking this whole Emmett and Kimberly business so we'll see how it all turns out. ;)
