"Demetri?" I asked shocked, my eyes in awed at my best friend on a branch outside my window. I saw him, there wet and tired. Even those we vampires are never physically tired, we grow emotionally weary. He was my best friend, and he needed me. In an instant I opened the window and he came in with the water and debris falling from him. The thunder came through as he entered in my room, dripping on the floor.

"What are you doing here? The words fell from my mouth as hundreds of questions filled my head. Did something happen to him? Did he leave the Volutri or is he here to get me back? What brought him to this moment, I wondered. It did however, seem the months of anger at each other and the refusal to communicate disappeared.

"Getting a medical degree from Carlisle," Demetri said sarcastically. "I'm here to see you." Demetri responded still in guard uniform, with his eyes black, making it clear he hadn't drank in weeks, nor did he even bother trying to blend in. I could tell he had some life altering hardships. The kind of hardships that changed a person. Yet, I couldn't help but wonder why he chose to come to me when he accused me of abandoning them, not being there for him.

"I thought you hated me," I responded.

"How can I hate my best friend? You are the one who's always been there for me and willing to do a favor when I asked him." Demetri explained. "Which reminds me, can you do me a favor?" He asked quickly as a knock came on the door.

"Felix, open the door," Esme called, I slowly open the door just a nudge, only showing my face to her.

"I know exactly what is going on here," Esme started.

"You do?" I asked.

"You're up here trying to avoid the Introders, when you are supposed to be down distracting them with football while I get dinner ready for them." Esme concluded.

"Yes, that's exactly what's going on," I said as I tried to shut the door, while she kept gabbing.

"Now listen to me, she is trying to appoint a head doctor, and she is choosing by impression. Now, currently that dragon woman is starting to commit on the dust. Lord, I like to ring her neck." Esme spoke as I slowly tried to close the door. She closed her eyes and shook her head. "Felix, I am not collecting donations, let me in." It was in an instant the door was open, and Demetri was gone. "Now, I iron a bunch of your shirts this morning, and I believe you have some ties."

"Yes, I do," I said, as I went to my closet, Demetri threw me a yellow shirt and a red tie. I showed it to her.

"That looks ridicules, let me get something else," Esme ordered. I went and Demetri threw me another set.

"Better," Esme said. "Get dress, and get down there." She sighed, "And no more monkey business."

"What's that burning smell?" I asked.

"The hens," She was off in an instant. Demetri came out again.

"I am thirsty, is there any way you can get me a squirrel or something." Demetri started.
"You drink animal blood?" I asked.

"I will drink Carlisle boss if you don't get me something soon," Demetri warned hesitatingly.

~X~

"Alice, weren't you in that one play with my niece, Margret O'Nell," I heard a female voice asked in a prude manner as I came down.

"Meme?" Alice questioned then smiled remembering. "I remember her. I believe she was my understudy."

"Oh, Margret, poor girl, so talented and little shown. Every time she tries for a lead role someone else comes along and out shines her, if those are the right words." It was then I raced out heading to the door.

"Yes, it's a shame," Alice started. "Well, I'm sure the director chose his best."

"Are you saying my niece isn't the best?" Mrs. Introder asked "I personally thought she was well suited for the part. Sometimes actresses try out for the wrong part at the wrong time, when did you decided to try out."

"The day before," Alice answered honestly.

"Margaret was studying for months," the women committed as I raced down stairs hoping to get to the door before they noticed me.

"Look, Felix," Jasper called, saving Alice from this conversation.

"What made you get down here so fast?" I turned to see a large man, with no hair and a round head smoking a cigar.

"My, you came down fast," Dr. Introder examined with pointy glasses along red hair up in a bun behind her on a face clouded with makeup.

"He's in training for the Olympics, an inspiration to us all." Carlisle explained as I was at for the kitchen.

"What the hell are you doing?" He then stopped me.

"Hunting," I answered.

"You just hunted yesterday," Carlisle whispered in an angered voice. "Now, listen. We are getting racked by dragon lady in the other room. So, get in there and impress her husband."

"Need help?" Dr. Inroder's voice called.

"Dinner's ready, coming out," Esme said. "Lord, she would cause a monk to go insane." She handed me a bowl of lettuce with several vegetables in it. I couldn't help but notice Alice just staring out me as if she knew what I was hiding.

"Boy, oh, boy, I am thiiiirs-ty," Mr. Inroder said, as he poured some lemonade.

"You're not the only one," I accidently said out loud as Alice looked away.

"So right you are," The women said sympathetically.

"How do you know?" I asked.
"Oh, we all know there is a great thirst around us," Mrs. Introder went on.

"Mr. Introder, why don't you say grace?" Alice suggested.

"My honor," he said as we sat down, Mr and Dr. Introder bowed their heads for grace while Alice had her eyes on the window.

"Dear Father, we know many are thirsty and hunger tonight." Mr. Intruder started as Alice kicked my foot, I looked at her, her eyes shifted to the window, I looked over and within a few seconds Demetri was crawling down the wall. He wasn't just thirsty, he was angry, but he was in control. He looked at me and pointed to his mouth. "And please lord, let us remember them," Mr. Introder went on. I motioned for Demetri to go back upstairs, he rolled his eyes, Carlisle looked up and saw Alice and I motioning him. "And not let them be shut out of our hearts."

"Oh, good god," Carlisle said as he went to shut the curtain.

"Amen," Mr. Intrdor said as his head popped up.

"Agreed," Carlisle committed. "I need to go get something, Felix, do you want to help me."

"I think," I started.

"No, no, he's a football player, he needs to eat." Mr. Intrudor committed.

"Can't Esme get it?" Dr. Inroder asked.
"This is my thing," Carlisle said as he pulled me inside. "What the hell is he doing here?"
"Demetri is here, he just left the Volturi?" I explained. "He doesn't know what to do and I think he's scared."

"Of what? They'll track him down?" Carlisle asked, this was just completely wrong timing. "We agreed to take you in, but this isn't a house for the Volturi safe house."

"Demetri has saved me hundreds of times," I said strongly but low enough for only the immortals to here. "I have a duty to take him. I know him well, he won't stay for more than a couple of weeks. Let him stay until he figures out what he wants to do."

"Alright, well keep him distracted until the intruders leave." Carlisle said as the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it,' Jasper said as I ran out to see Jasper at the door and Demetri came in, zoomed on one of the Greeks vase, poured the blood in a cup and drank it in front of the humans. Both of the Inroders stood there with their jaws opens.

"Who do we have here?" Mrs. Indrode asked as Carlisle sat by Esme.

"He's are exchange student," Esme said.

"From Italy," Jasper committed.

"Well, I'm sure he's honor to be staying with such a great athlete like Felix," Mr. Indrode said patting my back. Demetri didn't say anything, he stopped drinking for a moment and started laughing.

"Demetri, taci o ti stai spedire i Volturi," Carlisle responded tightly. "He came to live with us,." I knew then, as much as Carlisle tried to fight his compassion, he was going to let Demetri stay. This was however, one of those evenings where he wished that he didn't have such compassion.

"My, my, what heavens we have here," Dr. Inroder said snottily.

Demetri smiled, clearly understanding and took food off the woman's plate and put it in his mouth then flung it back onto the china. Jasper looked down with a little smirk from finding amusement in the scene.

"Boy, those Italian boys have incredible appetite." Mr. Inroder started.

"Are you sure that you can handle two teenage foster boys in one house?" Dr. Introder asked.

"Yes," Carlsle said stricktly, I couldn't help but wonder what she meant by that.

"Well, you better hope you two don't get along, because Felix alone does seem to cause enough trouble." Dr. Inroder started. "No offence."

"Not at all," I said, holding back my attempt to pop off her head.

"Of, course that is to be expected, with all the ones you collect from foster care. After that whole incident with Felix, on his first day of school getting drunk with that rowdy group of kids, and then running around with those druggy sisters that lived in a trailer along the highway before a cop tok them in. Then your other son Edward, who knocked up a girl right out of high school. You two put on a tough plate, this individual should be no different."

"Now, take just a minute and Bite your tong!" Esme lashed out slamming the bowl down. "Where do you get off passing judgment on our family. Yes, Felix did have some problems coming in, but he worked them out. Just like the rest of our kids. Where in the world do you get right passing us off!"

"Carlisle control her wife," Dr. Inroder ordered.

"I am not," Carlisle said without a word.

"Demetri can come out normal, if he gives love and encouragement like given Felix. Not to mention a brush up on manners and fashion tips to blend in." Esme added on.

"Husband," Dr. Inroder called. "I have no desire put up with insults. We are leaving." She grabbed her purse and left.

"I am sure that Felix can shape you into being a great athlete." Mr. Inroder started as Demetri laughed again.

After they finished, Esme quickly hurried them out, giving us twenty minutes before the other gust arrive.

"Demetri, what brings you here?" Carlisle finally asked.

"He left the Volturi," I explained.

"I asked Demetri," Carlisle responded.

"What he said," Demetri answered.

"Anyway, don't you feel you need to tell me something?" I asked.

"Tell you what?" He responded.

"You disowned me because I left the Volturi," I said.

"I know and I'm sorry," Demetri said.

"After all I've done for you, lying to Aro when you stole his car," I went on.

"That was you," Demetri committed.

"Your right," I sighed. "What about the time you were supposed to be on a mission and instead you tracked that one vampire."

"Oh, thank you for that," I chuckled.

"He was living in a swamp." Demetri reminded.

"I know, again sorry, but I believe that was payback for the time I covered for you that one time you 'borrowed' that crown jewel without asking to pass off as one of the members."

"That was paying back that one time you stole Claus's sword to pass off being a concurring hero to that one check."

"And she fell for it," Demetri laughed. "But I thought you did that to thank me for covering that trick you forgot to deliver that blog.

"I was with Aurania, from Germany," I chuckled. "Of course I forgot. You told Aro I was on my way and delivered it for me."

"Just like you went and found that one showy vampire when I was with Banu, the Iranian who had the big… " Demetri started as Esme coughed. "Head."

"Well, Demetri, I know you and your friendship with Felix is very strong," Carlisle responded.

"Oh, Carlisle, can he stay here for a few days?" I asked.

"Of course," Carlisle responded.

"Great, can't wait to catch up with you, and tell you everything that has happened," Demetri said.

"I have a lot that has happened to,' I responded.

"Well, I'll started." Demetri added. "Well, after you left, Sulipica was contacted by the Greek coven."

"Who are vegetarians?" I asked.

"With werewolves," Demetri added on. "Take it you heard of them."

"One of the I sisters are here, with her husband and creation." I explained. "They are watching the werewolves."

"Oh, forgot, Caius is now visiting them," Demetri said. "Anyway, we all thought Alec visited them but Aro sent him somewhere else. At first we didn't notice Aro's strange behavior because the French coven was here. You know how Marcus and Monique have been acting very close these last couple of years?"

"Yes," I answered.

"Well, I walked in on them kissing," Demetri said. "More like walked out, it was in the garden. Thought you like to know that, I didn't tell anyone else."
"That is pretty interesting," I added.

"Well, that was just a distraction, anyway," Demetri looked around. "Do you remember Rendell?" He was asking the Cullens, who were nodding. "Well, he somehow ended up in Italy, and Marcus adopted him."

"Marcus got another son?" I asked wondering how Eleazar felt about that, would they contact him if one of Marcus's daughters were getting married. Not that I cared about Eleazar's terms with his origin coven.

"Yes, that's what I said." Demetri said. "He became Renata's mate. They are getting married next month. I wonder if the Denali coven will be getting an invitation to dance with Tanya…," Demetri stopped for a moment at that slipped and cough. "Anyway, he unknowingly became part of the Volturi, and Aro assigned us a mission to go get Alec. I was in charge, and I could of really used you."
"I was taking care of Heather," I explained.

"Who is this chick, and what right does she have to control you?" Demetri spoke in frustration.

"Is that what you think of her?"

"It's not an opinion, it's a fact, your letting this human girl control you." Demetri added, I could somewhat sense the jealousy.

"Go on," I said.

"Well, we were really dwindled, we couldn't contact Jane, because Aro has been lying to her and we can't let anyone know what the heck is going on." Demetri sighed.

"Of course, then everything would be out of order." I agreed. "Anyway, we had to wait and I got stuck taking a mission with Sandargo, and Renata."

"They are defense guard." I questioned.

"They were switched to offence, with Renata as the most powerful weapon." Demetri explained.

"You poor thing," I said sympathetically. Now, that I knew his side, I felt horrid.

"So we were off, on a mission, with Renata. Her teeter-totter boyfriend, and Sandargo who was wondering how is he going to fight people when they didn't attack. Well, on our way there, we decided to bunk down at this village inn for the day. While there I ran into this Ukrainian nomad, and she was gorgeous with her loose shirt and basketball breast."

Esme coughed again.

"We were starting to have conversation," Demetri said. "And I was about to wrap it up with her the way I normally wrapped it up. We heard a fight breaking out on the street with a bunch of immortals. Which included some nomads, and the Denali going against this shape-shifter. Being with this particular guard members they went to defend the lonely shape-shifter that would attack us with his pack. Since he was alone he was more than happy to take our protection. I offered to protect Tanya's coven, but she said no." Demetri rolled her eyes. "Then I went back to Okansa, and looked over to see Tanya following giving me this jealous glare."

"Jealous?"
"Who would not get jealous over me?" Demetri asked. "After she left, I went after her, ruining my chances with Okasana. So I tracked Renata and Rendell hooking up at some cottage?"
"Renata?" I questioned.

"Oh, she's not the most shocking." Demetri warned me. "After we gathered together I went to track Alec. Boy, that kid traveled, we walked from the mountains to the castle of the Romanian coven."

"He was at the Romanian coven?" I questioned why he was still alive.

"Aro sent him to kill a new creation. He did everything but," Demetri said with emphases over a common task. "Anyway, I put Renata and Randell on guard. While Sandago and I followed through the castle and we ran into them…and their mates."

"How did that go?" Carlisle asked reading into the story.

"It went well. They threaten to kill us, we ignored them." Demetri said casually, Volturi guard are used to threats being not the most popular vampires. "They asked why I was here, and aid them. They were holding Alec prisoner. They said Alec wasn't here and said that's impossible I can sense him here. Then Sandargo let it drop that Alec was sent a month to kill a vampire. Well, Vladimir spun upstairs in a panic. We followed them through the dark halls. We found Alec with her."

"Caught him on the nick of time," I said nonchalantly.

"No, he was with her," Demetri stressed. "It seemed he did everything but kill her."

"Alec?" I said stunned, catching on to what he meant.

"Yes, Alec," Demetri nodded as a thousand questions came to my mind, this was one mission I definitely missed out on.

After a long awkward pause I brought my self to asking, "What part were they at, when this happen?"

"About in the middle, lets just say he was definitely stimulating her senses instead of cutting them off." Demetri said. As Jasper took a big gulp, I could tell by the Cullens faces they had a lot of questions running through their heads, I took the insinuative to speak again: "What happened when you saw them?"

"Shouldn't you know this?" Demetri asked strangely.

"I think what Jasper means is, what was the Romanians' reaction to all of this?" Esme asked considering Vladmir wanted to kill Alec. So, Vladmir seeing Alec in bed with his precious creation would cause an ugly scene.

"Well, I suggested we let them finish, but the Vladmir and Stephan were shouting at them like crazy. They started accusing Alec of forcing him on her, and I had to point out that wasn't true if you take a look at the situation, not that any of us wanted to. But I ran my mouth and pointed out it was obvious she seduced him, and called her a slut. That's when Sandargo showed some brains and suggest we take this in the hall and let them finished up and get dressed. So that's what we did, where we continually argued. I defined Alec in saying that Pricilla was the one using her body to keep him hostage. While they were saying Alec was the one using her, making her have sex with him so he wouldn't kill her.

Next thing you know, a window is opening, and we can hear them running out on us. So all of us were chasing after them. We grouped at a stone courtyard where we tried to separate them, that was when Sandargo sent the trouble signal off, Renata and Randell to come to our aid. Then Alec tried to use their powers on Vladimir and Stefan causing Pricilla to separate and us to run off with them. We were at the train station when Alec demanded we go and find her. Renata and Randell volunteered, that was when we saw smoke coming from the mountain."

"They didn't?" Esme said in awe.

"That's coming later," Demetri explained. "The point is, Renata and Randell never returned and we assumed she was dead. We later found out they went to France. Alec was depressed, we brought Jane home to cheer him up, but that didn't help. She was off in her own world talking about a guy named Gisbert. Shortly after Jane came home, Pricilla return, and was under questioning. So Jane of course tortured the girl. Alec came to the rescue her leaving the Volturi for good."

"Where is he now?" I asked shocked.

"Who knows, I am not going to go after him, all I hope is to run into him and Pricilla something in the future in hopes to convince him to forgive Jane. A month later Gisbert came for Jane, Heidi was with them, and was on their side, so were the Denali sisters. After Jane left Aro sent me out to go after her. That's when I decided that I had enough. Aro sent me to get her, Sandargo and I left with no intention of returning. From what I here, Sandargo is in Ireland with some Maggie chick. I am still trying to figure out what's next."

"Well, you're welcome here." I said.

"Tell me what happened to you?" Demetri asked.

"Well, I fell in love, and found out Aro didn't create me." I summed it up.

"What?" Demetri said shocked.

"Aro had been lying through these past centuries, he didn't create me."

"Then who did?" Demetri asked.

"Eleazar." I answered.

Demetri was silent for a moment and started laughing, "You lucky bastard."

"What?" I stammered.

"I would like to trade creators," Demetri said sarcastically.

"I thought you got along with Caius,"
"He's alright, it can get embarrassing sometimes when he accuse a random person of treason," Demetri then looked towards Esme. "I should trade creators, maybe that Amun in Egypt. He hasn't been up too much these past couple of centuries." Demetri shook his head and looked towards Esme. "Oh, could you do me a favor and tell Athenodora I am here."

"I already plan too," Esme said to herself. "She is going to worry."

"I know, and she will probably tell you about it," Demetri explain.
"Probably," Esme nodded in agreement.

"Anyway, when can I meet Heather?" Demetri asked.

"Get something to drink first," I ordered him.

"What's she like?" Demetri asked. "Scale of one to ten."

"I don't scale her,"
"Fine, human scales," Demetri responded.

"Heather isn't fit for any scales," I said. "I don't know how to explain her, she's different, if there was one word, it wouldn't be found in any dictionary or in any language. She can't be described."

"Start with appearance,' Demetri suggested.

"I'll let you meet her," I summed it up, wanting to change matters of conversation.

"Can I see a picture?" She asked.
"I never took her picture," I answered.

"What?" Demetri asked confused.

"Well, she's attractive, buts in a way that you have to know her to see it."

"That doesn't make any sense. Did you figure this out before or after you two…"

"Before, way before," I answered, feeling a built uncomfortable. "She's great those, I don't know how to describe her, she's so much older than seventeen. She truly is a sea of wonder, she has me thinking strange things, I dare not confess my own soul if for the sake of those dear to me.

"She's only seventeen?"
"She lived a lot longer than most people her age." I explained.
"How?" Demetri asked. "Why do you love her?"

"Because I need her," I answered. "And she needs me, I never wanted to be around anyone more than I wanted to be around her. She is my duty, my life, my trust onto her, just for a simple kiss. I want to give her all the promises I can make her, because she is my moon light, shines in the dark with now clouds, and I only hope that she is happy with me. I love her more than I have ever loved one. The ones that come before her mean nothing to me, we were just two people keeping each other satisfied. They were like regular stones, and Heather was the pearl among them. She is the one who I find myself having to change to even deserve her, and the one who I think it's an honor to be with."

"Changing yourself for the better, and don't think you deserve by alone." Demetri shook his head. "I could use someone like that." It was then a floral smell came through as Tanya entered the door, with her gold hair pinned in braids wearing a simple red sundress that was wrapped tight around her skin.

"Carlisle, I heard your guest left, I just wanted to see…Demetri?" Tanya stopped in her tracks.

"Nice to see you here, Tanya," Demetri said speechless.

"Yes, what brings you here?" She asked, this is the first time that anyone in the room has ever seen her shy, and timid. I notice Demetri changed as well, she looked at Tanya as a gold bead on a pearl necklace. I never seen him treat a lady with such respect.

"He came to visit me," I answered.

"I can see he is your best friend," Tanya said with her eyes focus on Demetri. "He is a very good friend to have around."

"Yes, I am pretty loyal." Demetri said quickly, and nervous.

"Thank you again, for saving us," Tanya said as she started heading up the stairs.

"You're welcome," Demetri called

Tanya turned, she was silent for a minute, she bit her lip, before she finally spoke. "My offer still stands."

"What offer?" Carmen asked coming back in with Eleazar.

"Nothing," Tanya shook her head and went upstairs.

"What is up with her," Demetri asked as he turned to Eleazar. "Hey, can you change my creation too, I would love for my story to not be 'Wake up so you can see me biting you!' 'I can't I'm blind' 'Well, remember my name begin Caius' then a women's voice, 'we should make sure he has clean clothes to endure the pain in' Hey, I got an idea, remember that one Egyptian, Amun, the one who just left and let his creation choose, how about you go and have be the creator I can be Egyptian."

"It's not that simple," I shook my head.

"I suppose work right." Demetri looked towards Eleazar again. "So, you created my best friend."

"Yes," Eleazar answered confidently.

"Thanks," Demetri said. "Anyway, can I meet Heather."

"I don't go there uninvited." I explained.

"Eleazar, remind this guy here you bit him," Demetri stressed.

"He gives Heather respect," Carlisle butted in. "He doesn't go over uninvited, except for the couple of times you saved her, including killing for her.

"You broke the rules for her?" Demetri asked.

"I will do anything for her," I responded. "I've killed for the Volturi under false pretenses, I see no problem in protecting her under true ones."

"You didn't kill Alexander," Esme committed. "He tried to attack her."

"He attack Charlie, speaking of which, we have to go and see what is going on."

"Can I come?" Demetri asked with begging eyes.

"Of course," I answered.

"Felix," Carlisle called. "Are you going to tell her?"

"Yes," I answered.

"Tell her what?"

"Nothing," I answered. "Come on let's go." We traveled through the woods, to Forks and to the Swan residence, it was pouring by the time we got there.

~X~

"Ya goin' where?" Heather shouted. "Natalie Jocelyn Uley, ah' betta' not be a lyin' ta me or ya boyfriend is goin' to find hisself in a hospital bed ratta den yar' bed."

"Don't ah dare get off snapin' at me like dat. Ya' even knowa where Seth's family de taken' ah." Kelly walked in at that point, listening to Heather arguing over the phone. She didn't like the new personality her sweet sister Natalie had lately, Kelly was the only one allowed to have a smart mouth, and no one dared defied Heather's authority.

"Yeah, I'm goin' to let ya do dat," Heather flipped.

"I'm order than ya that's why, ya think just because Sam signed some pappa' makin' ya legal garden. Dant me' ya gatta list'en ta me nomore. I'd been taken care of ah since yo' little one. If it be two weeks, ya be mine."

Kelly couldn't help but disagree, even those she was dam sure Heather could raise her, she liked being placed in the home of Charlie Swan. Charlie said that Heather could live here, rent free as long as she wanted, and not just until he grew tired of her. He gave them money for new clothes, let them use the washer and dryer, they were always more lemonade, with more juice than beer and whiskey, he had a job, he let them use the shower and never walked in on them like their mother's boyfriend.

Charlie even made sure they had fresh towels in their separate bathroom. There was food, Kelly never thought there could be more food, he gave them fresh food, three meals a day and even snacks. He called them when they were out too late, he offered them rides, let them watch television. Kelly had many conversations with him about fishing, baseball and such. He would listen to what she had to say and make no judgment on them.

Kelly only met Bella once but she had to feel like a princess with such luxuries such as food every night, showers, warm beds, clothes and safety. She had to be crazy to leave this gig. Heather, of course was still on the defense. She made sure Kelly didn't take advantage of Charlie's kindness, 'he's a good man, let not make sure he don't get tired of us. Make ya' useful.'.

Kelly offered her paychecks to him, but Charlie denied them and still made his meals for him. Heather was also nice to Sue Clearwater, even those she still had a negative stigma towards her son. Recently, these two people, Mr. and Mrs. Hale have been coming lately. Having privet talks with Charlie, Kelly was normally open to other cultures but she found Mrs. Hale a strange one. The way the woman would hold her breath when they were around. That can't be in anyway be a custom in Turkey or any country. Kelly and Heather weren't allowed to listen. She thought these people were suspicious, but not near as sketchy as Felix.

"Na, ya ain't goin' anywhere." Heather put the phone out as it the sound of the rain pointed against the roof along with rolls, and rolls of thunder.

"I gotta go ta La Push," Heather panic.

"Ya insane?" Kelly asked. "Hello, doya flash flood warnins' mean anything to ya?"

"We have a sister leaving the country," Heather said. "I gotta stop 'er."

"Ya can't go,"

"Tell Charlie I'm at work, if he offers to pick me up, tell him I got it." Heather left.

Heather began driving as the water came pounding down on the wind shield. It was coming like bullets pounding the glass one by one. She could hear the grind smash against the check as she treaded through the flood of the stream. She drove slowly, but it was still difficult. Too many to could in the seconds she was on the road. The small red pickup treaded through the road as she turned spashing it to the sidewalk to the high way which was flying with debris from the rough winds, she heard the rocks and grids hit the side of the car as it became harder and harder to drive. The rain became havier and heavier as she heard thunder and saw lighting hit a tree branching causing it to hit the road and her truck.

She tried to drive around it, with a cliff on one side and the woods on the other. Heather went through the branch feeling the leaves suck above the engine. The rain poured harder and harder. She then felt something, heather didn't know what it was but she felt something inside her kick hard. It was as if a living thing inside her flesh. Heather felt dizzy, beyond dizzy as swelling black narrowed her eyes. It was then, right on the road, amongst the storm she blacked out.

~X~

"What is that foul smell?" Demetri asked as we approached Heather's home.

"The werewolves." I answered.

"Werewolves!" Demetri said shocked.

"The ones pardon." I answered. "Even if they weren't, who are you to enforce the law?"

"Why are they here?" Demetri asked ignoring the question.
"They are Rosalie's biological brothers." I answered as we came to see Alexander and Beyza in Charlie's bedroom, packing. I couldn't help but stop and listen into the conversation with the curiosity of how the entrance to immortality is viewed from those different then us.

"So how long do I have to stay in Australia?" Charlie asked pacing in his room with an empty suitcase out on his bed.

"Long enough, to learn control over full moons." Beyza answered.

"That's never going to happen," Alexander explained. "I have been a werewolf for sixty four years and haven't mastered that skill yet. You will have to have a lot of patents and self-awareness."

"How do I know you're really that old?" Charlie asked frustrated, "You don't look a day over twenty-two."

"She's older," Alexander glanced to his wife.

"By six hundred years," Beyza explained.

"Listen, you are very dangerous right now, until this month is over your best in Australia. There is a family that owes you a farm on the outback who have been hidden from the Volturi for centuries. While we are there, I will help you gain control of your emotions and body as the full moon approaches. You are a child of the moon because the moon controls you as a parent controls the child. It decides your moods and capability. As it get closers to a full moon the stronger and faster you are and the less human you become. As the new moon approaches the less physical strength you have, and more control over self-refocus as you feel yourself become human." Nikki explains. "But you are never human, and will always many immortal. You will have control of your own fate but you have to let me help you."

"After that outburst at my daughter's place, I can't help but agree." Charlie breathed. I couldn't help but notice how different he was, he was no longer appealing, he was losing weight and gaining muscles as well as becoming more harrier. His facial hair was thicker, and stronger.

"Did they just turn him?" Demetri asked.

"Yes," I answered.

" Who is he?" Demetri asked. "Is he Heather's father?"

"He is Officer Charlie Swan, and he's her guardian." I answered. "He was the human father of Bella, but he's no longer human."

"The pardon werewolves are keeping in touch with other werewolves?" Demetri asked.

"Yes," I answered. "In Australia, they co-exist peacefully with vampires. As a matter of fact the nomads of Australia refuse to kill them. And what do we think of that old friend?"
"I don't know," Demetri said.

"You're just fine with it," I responded. "Come on, I'll take you to meet Heather." We went to the other room, that had two beds where Kelly sat at the desk they shared. This week it was purple highlights, wearing all black, and the normal quintiles number of earrings."

"She's not one of the humans that think they are one of us?" Demetri asked noticing the skulls in her ears.

"No, but the Avurage have a claim on her, smell her." I dared her, Demetri sniff.

"Louis," Demetri said as I tapped on the window. Kelly looked up.

"What do you want!"
"Heather," I answered.

"She went driving to get Natalie," Kelly answered.

"In this weather!" I demanded..

"Go find her," Kelly suggest and shut the window.

"Oh, my god, what if she got struck by lightning, or crashed." I panicked.

Demetri knocked on the window.

"What do ah want?" Kelly yelled.

"Can I see her picture?" Demetri asked. Kelly handed a recent picture of the sisters, Natalie, Heather and Kelly to Demetri. I pointed to which one is Heather.

"Let me tap into your mind, dear girl." Demetri said and looked up grapping my arm. "I can sense her. She is going north of her, towards the coast. She is after something.," Demetri said grabbing my arm. I followed him, as we tree jumped through the woods, surfing along the forest branches. I then came to a road where an old red Ford pickup was smashed to smithereens, with the embrace of her scent in the smoke. I moved the truck, there wasn't much left to it, she was gone.

"She was here, but two other vampires smelled her." Demetri explained. "They were vegetarians, a male and a female. Both ancients, the male moved the truck, and the female picked her up." Demetri went on as his eyes went to the woods on the other side of the border. "They went that way." He then sped off again, as I followed him we went aboce the pavement, Demetri followed their trail as we came back into Forks, halfway to the Cullen's family, when we ran right into Lama and Dragomir sitting on a large branch with Dragomir using a leaf to hold water, faltering to a bundle wrapped in blue fabric tucked in Lama's arms. We followed them going through trees racking with every moment moving ahead of Lama and Dragomir who had her.

"What are you doing with her?" I snapped.

"Is that anyway to speak with an Ancient?" Dragomir asked insulted as Lama, who had Heather wrapped in an a blanket. The old women scared by our approached tightened Heather against her chest.

"Is this your mate Felix," Demetri asked coming up to observer her. "She isn't much of a looker now, is she."

"Yes, she's my mate," I explained.

"That explains the vampire smell," Lama said. "We are taken this poor dear to Carlisle, he's a vampire doctor, he will know what to do with her. We plan to change her."

"We had no idea she was your mate. We as animal drinkers live by a code to protect human life at all cost. We had no choice." Dragomir went on.

"You came up to me and showed Heather to me. She was injured, there was a large cut on her face and at her wrest." Lama said, disgusted that I let my human mate in such danger.

"You should be thanking us." Dragomir added on.

"Thank you," I said gratefully as her heart rate went down. "Come on, let's go to Carlisle." I offered to take her as Lima looked towards me, "I'll hold her. I've been resistance longer than you." I nodded, agreeing with Lama.

"He's good with that," Demetri reminded. I had no choice but to nod as we rushed back home with Kate viewing us form the window saw us coming back with Heather, opened the door screaming for Carlisle as we laid her on my bed, were I realized Lima was holding her skin so tight, she was stopping the blood flow. I wanted to do that for her, but I had to stop, then Garrett came in, blood thirsty ready to attack, Kate and Carmen pulled him back. Eleazer took him to get Carlisle who rushed in. Lima and Dragomir went away instantly as they watched his every move. I however, couldn't help but notice how calm Demetri was, he just stood right by me as Carlisle stood each of her wounds.

"You can go now," Carlisle said to Lima and Dragomir.

"We have gone longer without animal blood, we should be watching you,' Dragomir said firmly.

"When can we change her?" Lama asked.

"I have a clean record, never drank a drop.' Carlisle blurted. The two looked at each other, surprised, no one but Matthias had a clean record of drinking animal blood.

"We'll be checking on her." Lima left.

"Felix, I want to speak with you alone."

"I'll be listening out the door," Demetri said.

"Felix, please," Eleazar asked. Demetri left, but gave me a look of disapproval.

"Eleazar, I know that you care for Felix, but I have to ask him personal questions." Carlisle explained.

"I understand," Eleazar said, he looked towards me. "If you need me, Carmen and I will stay as long as we ask."

"Thanks," I said knowing I wasn't going to use that resource.

"Felix, you know how you thought Heather was pregnant," Carlisle started. "Please sit down."

"I'll stand," I said.

"She's more than pregnant," Carlisle started.

"What do you mean?" I asked confused.

"Listen, what you here." I sat for a moment, and felt three heart beats.

"Is Renesmee here?" I asked.

"Felix," Carlisle started. "She's carrying twins."
