Wow, so I have some explaining to do. You see, a virus came over my laptop and some how messed up my internet settings so I couldn't get online therefore I was unable to upload these past few chapters. I messaged a few people about my problem on my dad's compueter because I love my readers so much and I did NOT want to loose you all!

Ok so I have a pretty good idea of what I want to do and note that chapters may be longer so make sure that you have time to read the chapters. Don't be like me and procrastinate on your homework or studying to read a chapter. Enjoy :)

Chapter 8

Kim POV

I was beginning to think that I actually could fall asleep and be the first sleeping vampire, other than Renesmee but she doesn't count, because my mind was numb and for the first time this day I didn't have a thought. Then the doorbell rang and leaped off the couch in fright. If I could ever get back into that dreamlike state again it would take a while. Edward was watching me to make sure I wouldn't attack but I was as stable as could be. Bella watched me as she walked to the door backwards and opened it.

"You freaked the shit of her." She said simply to Emmett still keeping contact with me. I immediately relaxed knowing it was Emmett.

He walked in and apologized, "I am so sorry, I thought that she would have heard me."

"Well, I was going against vampire anatomy and I was 'fake' sleeping." I said putting emphasis on fake.

"You're gonna have to teach us how to do that." He said taken aback. He then walked to the couch and made himself at home flicking through the HD channels.

"Um, Emmett, I don't mean to be rude but do you mind if I ask you what you are doing here?" Bella asked and I could see in the corner of my mind Edward was shaking his head ever so slightly. She looked at him confused and he put his head down to see what was so interesting about the floor.

"Rose and I are... taking a break." Her eyes opened wide and Edward kept looking at the floor only now he had his hands in his pockets. He walked to the couch and started watching TV with him and Bella remained where she was.

I was looking at Bella and then at the men on the couch. I felt that my presence was a burden so I excused myself to Renesmee's room. I could hear them talk about it but I didn't want to listen. I may be an animal now but I was raised with manners and I learned that I should never eavesdrop a conversation that you were never meant to hear. I walked over to Renesmee's vanity and looked at the clutter of photos on the mirror. There was a majority of her and Jacob but there was the occasional photo of the whole family or just the couples. My favorite was the one right up top. It was one of the whole family, including the wolves. The sister wolf was giving the brother wolf a nuggie on the outer edge of the photo and Jacob was pointing and laughing. Renesmee was standing between Bella and Edward perfectly posed as they looked down on her looking like proud parents. Emmett was in the back with his arm around Rose, who was hugging his torso, and Jasper who Alice was leaning against with her leg up and smiling and then Carlisle and Esme were off to the side hugging each other. It was picture perfect and I wondered where I stood in this picture... and who the hell took the picture. I looked at each person in the picture and they looked like they exactly belong, like they all fit and it made me wonder if I was going to be living here for the time being, would I be the awkward person in the background?

Just then Edward knocked on the door. "Hey, just wanted to make sure you were okay."

"I'm sorry, are my thoughts too loud?" I asked sincerely.

"No, actually, they were very quiet. Hence the check-up." He said leaning against the door. "Okay, I want you to breath deeply through your nose and out through your mouth before and after I tell you this."

I looked at him with my eyebrow making a perfect arc.

"Trust me, it will help."

I got nervous and did as I was told.

"Okay, are you thirsty?" He asked and my throat tightened up and a burning sensation went up and down my throat. My hands flew to my neck to try and sooth the pain but it only made it worse. He grabbed my shoulders and said again, "Breath in through your nose and out through your mouth." I did and it calmed me down a little so I could get back in control but the pain did not subside.

Emmett and Bella then came into the room to see what was happening and if Edward needed help. "I'll call Carlisle to see if we still have something left." Bella said leaving the room momentarily only to return shaking her head. "He said she cleaned us out so we'll have to go hunting soon."

"Well soon might have to be now." Edward said with his hands still on my shoulders looking to my eyes.

I struggled to speak but I managed to say, "I can wait if you guys aren't hungry." Although I found that a load of bullshit and so did they.

Emmett pulled Edward to the side and Bella sat me down on the bed to keep from going out of control which I was pretty sure I would if my support system wasn't here.

"You know I can take her out now. I mean its dark out but that's when most of the good hunting is out and we still need to call Jasper and Alice back over but, if you think that she can wait that long..." He said trailing off.

Edward looked at me and pondered Emmett's suggestion. "Do you really it's something that you should do?"

Emmett looked him in the eye and a low growl went through his chest. Edward through his hands up in surrender and walked away. Emmett looked at me then back at Edward. "Who says I can't take her? Besides, I'm closer to her, so I'm someone that she can fully trust, no offense Bella." She just stared at him and hugged me closer. "Also, my instincts are killer so I'll be able to help her if things get out of hand."

Bella and Edward looked at each other like they could their minds, which I learned that they can't unless Bella uses her powers. My thirst was going through me like a forest fire that can only be extinguished by an ocean of blood and soon I was squirming and grinding my teeth together so I wouldn't make a sound. Emmett looked at me in desperation and sat by me rubbing my back hoping that it would help but he should know that it only puts me on edge. I sat up and hissed at him and covered my mouth. My eyes opened wide and Emmett frowned as if he's seen this before. Edward and Bella had seen and heard enough to know that I was in desperate need of feeding and soon.

"Alright Emmett but, I would advise you not mention this to the family. We'll cover for you and say that you stayed behind, but I want her back by the time we're ready. Just give enough so she can wait until morning when we can see better."

He nodded and swung me onto his back to which I protested to immediately. I jumped off his back and landed in a crouch to attack and a snarl ripped through me. He looked at me bewildered. I snapped up in a standing position and hugged myself.

"Maybe I should carry myself." I said trying to keep calm.

He nodded his head and we began to run.

Emmett POV

I took us out far enough and off our trail so that Rose wouldn't know I went hunting with Kim. We went east to go out of the peninsula and into more of the state but within the bound of the endless forest that Washington has to offer. I wanted to make sure that we were no where near civilization so this mini-hunting trip would go without a hitch. I could tell that Kim was holding back, being a newborn you're faster, stronger, and much more... sensitive towards our instincts. I was surprised she held on this long with her thirst becoming almost out of control. I remember my first time feeding with the Cullen's.

We were all sitting around, waiting for Carlisle to come home from work. Edward was shaping something out of wood, a table of some sort, and Rose was doing something with her nails. Esme was knitting on the couch seeming deep in concentration and going at a humans pace but they were all on edge. I was new and every so often they would look at me as if they were checking up on me to make sure I was okay.

For the mean time I was fine, I was thinking about my brother and the box that he came home in. We were all there to see him come off the plane but the last two that came out were holding a coffin and we all knew that it was my brother. It was a fresh body so it must have happened before they came home and I didn't notice it then but looking back at it, I remember the blood stain at the bottom of the box. As I remembered my throat went up in flames and I convulsed out of the chair I was sitting in. Rosalie was at my side and Edward was pinning me down. Esme was in the background keeping watch to make sure I didn't do anything stupid.

"Carlisle's close, Emmett, we'll take care of this soon." Edward said.

Just then Carlisle came through the door with a fox and threw it at me. I broke out of Edwards grasp and went for it. I drained it in 5 seconds and my thirst dulled but only a little, I was still hungry for more but I could keep myself in control until we could go out for more. We all went south right after that, worried about my thirst that Carlisle still had his lab coat on. We hunted for about an hour but when it was over I had over fed and my gut felt like I had an anvil in it. My clothes were ripped and had bloodstains all over it just like my hiking gear earlier day. But the Cullen's didn't have one scratch on them, not even a droplet of blood left on their teeth. Rose giggled at me but the rest smirked.

"Stay here while I go get you some clothes to change in. If the neighbors saw you come back like that there would be no explanation to cover it." Carlisle said. "I'll be back, stay here."

"Don't worry, Carlisle, I'll be here with him." Rose said throwing me a look of seduction. I raised my eyebrow and she laughed.

Carlisle nodded his head and the family took off. Rose sat down on a rock and crossed her legs and began to click in and out of the heel of her white pumps. Her hair was lifted up in a light blue bow to match her dress but her shoulder's and torso had a flower print on it. Her skirt was ruffled vertically and fell to her knees. She would throw me glances that would make my palms sweat if I could while we waited and the silence between us was getting to be very loud.

I cleared my throat and said, "So, how long have you been with the... um..." What an idiot I am! I forgot the family name and I'm stammering like an idiot!

"The Cullen's?" She finished for me. "About twenty years." She said coolly.

"Wow, they must have... 'adopted' you when you were young because you look..." I caught myself and cleared my throat. "What I mean is-"

She began to smile. "I forgot we haven't told you yet." Her smile faded and she became very serious. "Not only do we not die from a majority of natural disasters or die of other human occurrences but, we are stuck in time. We don't age, Emmett." She took a breath and avoided my gaze. "We like to think of ourselves of monsters. We kill for life, we hide when the sun is out because we are afraid, we isolate ourselves from civilization to keep ourselves under control." She stopped herself from going on and began to play with the moss on the rock she was sitting on.

I walked up to her and lifted her chin up so she could look me in the eye when I said this. "How could someone as pretty as you be a monster?" I said sincerely. She looked in my eyes and I wanted to kiss her but I refrained. After all, if we have forever to live together, we might as well take it slow. I backed away and leaned up against the tree hearing Carlisle's presence coming up fast. Rosalie seemed in a trance watching me as I began to shimmer in the sunlight peaking through the tree's and I was in hers.

I would remember that moment for the rest of my vampire life because that was when I began to fall in love with Rose. I hadn't realized how far we were out until I heard a growl of agitation coming from Kimberly. I stopped suddenly with her in sync.

"This is where wild buck come out to eat in peace. Come on, we'll hide out here until they come." I said with my voice thick. I began to go through the usual stages of depression of a break up only much more faster than any other human. I withdrew from the hunt and from Kimberly which is where she slipped up. I caught wind of the first buck coming into the clearing and she took off after it.

"Kimberly!" Yelled out after her. The closest town was a long ways away but if she caught wind of even one person out for a late night walk it would be disastrous. She ran after the buck with wicked speed and caught it around it torso and began to go to town. It was thrashing around and it's huge antlers got her in her eye and it's hoofs kicked her in her stomach which made her spew blood all over its coat but she kept on going. Soon the buck stopped struggling and stood still as it was drained of its life.

She stood up and wiped her mouth. Her eyes were still red but a thick ring of topaz was near the pupil and the ridge of her eye was scarred from the bucks antlers. I'm not gonna lie but her eyes were totally wicked. Bella's eyes weren't like this they just went straight to topaz, although she did have a full meal.

"You eyes look totally bad-ass, Kimmy." I said. Her breath intake was sharp and she backed away from me. "What? What did I say?"

She stopped and took a calming breath. "I'm sorry but, only Jack called me Kimmy." She said. The moment turned awkward and neither of us said a word. She began to walk away from me and towards the way we came but she only walked a humans pace so I guessed that she didn't know where to go from beyond whats ahead.

I jogged up to her and said, "I'm sorry it's just that, Kimberly is too long to say and Kim doesn't really fit you because you so small and fragile and childlike-"

"Childlike? I may be small but I'm not a child! I'm twenty fucking one! I'm old enough to drink, to buy lottery tickets, to smoke! I am not a child."

"Okay, missus mood swing." Which is exactly what it was. We went from friends, to awkward moment to PMS.

She rolled her eyes and scuffed. "You would know, all of a sudden becoming distant and taking me along for the ride of your pity party, party of two, unfortunately. We had a friendship moment thing at the big white house but now you just being an ass." she snapped back.

"What is with people and using the word 'ass' to describe me?" I shouted at her blocking off her path.

"Maybe because that's what you are. You're also selfish at times. Always having all eyes on you. Your not the baby of the family you know."

"What do you mean 'all eyes on me?'" I said getting offended. What the hell is her problem?

"Well from what I've heard when they were talking bout Nessie and Jake you ruined it with your ground breaking news, and then when I came into the family unexpectedly, you break up with your girlfriend after how many years? Fifty? And then back at the shack, I'm practically burning up my throat with thirst and you take the spotlight by being all like 'Lets hide this hunting trip so she can feed and Rosalie won't know.'"

"Well you should talk! "Jack and I this... Jack and I that...,' yeah we get it! You loved your boyfriend!"

"Love and when I have I talked about Jack so subsequently that it annoys the... the..."

"Cullen's." I said finishing her sentence.

"Right!" She said crossing her arms and huffing. She put her weight on leg and demanded an answer.

"Well, there was the time you said you wanted to turn him!"

"Okay, and name two more! If you can I'll agree with you." She said.

"And then the whole 'Kimmy' freak out!"

"Nope, that was just you and it was not a freak out." She said proving her point.

"Well then there was... that one time you..." I struggled to think of something else but I couldn't. I was drawing a blank. I couldn't believe it, I never lose! "Why do you always have to be on top? Huh? Edward told me that you were the at top of your class in high school even had the best job in your major. Hell I even bet you were on top during sex!" If a vampire could blush she got really close to.

She lunged at me and attacked. I was expecting this because I was looking for a fight with her and I was right on top of her but with her new strength it gave her an advantage. We rolled around and we both got close to biting each other but not quite. Just a lot of snapping and snarls would come out of us. All of our pent up anger went into this fight and let me tell you it was a long ass fight. She would be on top of me pinning down my wrists and then the next moment I had her in a head lock. We just kept on going until I actually bit her and yelped and pulled back. She landed on her feet and inspected her wound and hissed at me.

"You son of a bitch, that hurt like hell!"

I backed away and I felt bad. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to." I said.

She began to breathe heavily and then she began to laugh. I looked at her sideways and she began to laugh even harder she even fell to the ground.

For some odd reason I found this hysterical and joined her. We sat on the ground laughing for some odd minutes before it died down. We looked at each other and then began to laugh again although it didn't last as long as before. We leaned against each other's backs and looked at the stars.

"You know, you're not the biggest ass in the world." She said.

I chuckled. "And you're not annoying as hell."

She turned to face me and we looked into each others eyes. There was a moment or a spark between us that neither of us wanted to accept because we were torn. We were both at different parts in our lives and they were both at a stand still. We had a choice to make that neither of us wanted to choose or want to choose but there it was, thrust upon us and we refused to look. Just then a bright shooting star danced across the sky and caught our attention. She looked up at it and closed her eyes making a wish and I did the same. When it was over I looked at her and she was looking at me.

"What did you wish for?" She asked.

"Call me old fashioned but I'm afraid that if I tell you it won't come true." I said with a smirk.

She smiled and turned away. "We should get back we've been gone an hour or so and we wouldn't want Bella and Edward to worry." She said getting up, taking away my support so I fell backwards. She giggled a bit and reached out her hand to help me up. I took it and she practically lifted me off the ground. She giggled again and said "Sorry, I'm still getting used to this."

I placed my finger under her chin and lifted it to face me. "So am I." I said.

She looked into my eyes and then turned her head. "Well, we should get going so, um, lead the way." She said indicating with her arm.

I smiled and we began our way back home.
