Lacey's POV

OK, I'll be honest, I was a little creeped out that Dameon, or Riley or whatever, was the person that entered with Victoria.

"Oh, this is bad." I said taking a sharp intake of breath.

"Lacey?" Dameon/Riley asked his red eyes widening.

Wait, RED eyes?

"Lacey, how do you know him?" Bella whispered to me.

"He's my brother. Or was…a long time ago." I muttered, my eyes never leaving Dameon/Riley.

"D-Dameon?" I asked.

"His name is Riley." Victoria spat.

"What are you doing here?" Riley asked.

"Me? What about you Mr. I'm-Gonna-Kill-My-Little-Sister-And-Brother-To-Torture-My-Old-Fraternal-Twin?" I asked.

"Twin? Woah." Bella gasped.

"Riley, eyes on the mission." Victoria snarled.

Its the creepiest thing ever to see her, to hear her.

Her fire red hair billowing in the wind like a flame, her stance, her lips curled over her glistening white teeth, everything about her screamed predator but her high little soprano voice sang golden pigtails and bubblegum.

For once I pitied her, she didn't know it, but to me, she was vulnerable mentally.

You could easily tell she wasn't exactly there, I mean physically she was there but something in her mind just snapped like a rubber band.

"You don't have to do this, Riley." Edward cooed.

Riley seemed shocked that Edward talked.

"She doesn't love you." Edward insisted.

"No matter what she said, which truthfully I have no clue what she said, she already had a mate, James. Riley, she's doing this for revenge! Edward ripped James to pieces and burned him, turned him to nothing. Those newborns in the clearing, you know that they were going to die. And so are you. She knows you can't take Edward." I said.

"Their lying. I only love you. You know that." Victoria insisted.

"James didn't love you. You were just a convenience. Your flighty, you can be somewhere one moment and just…vanish the next. There was nothing else. James didn't care about anything but the hunt, life to him was a game. I would know." Edward said tapping his temple and smiling somewhat smugly.

"Their lying!" Victoria's shrill voice cried out.

Riley's eyes narrowed.

"Your dead, Millie." Riley smiled.

"Uh-oh." I muttered as Riley made to move toward me.

Suddenly a mammoth tan shape flew throughout the center of the opening, throwing Riley to the ground.

"Go Seth!" I cheered hopping up and down clapping.

"Lacey!" Bella reprimanded.

I rolled my eyes and suddenly a large white thing landed next to my foot.

Upon closer observation I saw it was Riley's hand.

"Gross." I muttered as Riley's anguished scream filled the clearing.

"NO!" Victoria screamed.

"Oh, shut up." I said.

I really need to learn to think before I talk because that was when I realized that Edward was busy and had Riley in a headlock, leaving me and Bella rather vulnerable.

Victoria started at us ad when she reached me grabbed my arm before I could do anything.

Twisting it painfully, she pinned it behind the small of my back and pushed me onto my knees.

"Anyone move and its this girl's head." Victoria said putting her mouth near my mouth.

Inhaling deeply I could practically hear her smile.

"Ah, she smells divine." Victoria sighed.

"Er, thank you?" I asked seriously creeped out.

Seth whined pitifully and Edward seemed to not know what to do.

Suddenly everyones heads snapped to Bella behind me and the smell of blood reached my nose.

It was just the distraction I needed to wrench myself out of Victoria's grip effectively breaking my left leg.

I tried to walk on my leg and almost fell but Seth came up putting his giant head under my arm.

He led me behind a large rock and turned on Victoria.

I chose not to watch the rest…total lie.

For some reason I got really light headed and blacked out.

When I woke up I was lying in my bed at Emily's with my left leg in a cast, fabulous.

Sitting in a chair was Max reading to Claire and Seth was leaning on the door watching me intently.

"Doc, she's awake." Seth said rushing to my side.

Carlisle walked in wearing his pristine white doctor coat.

"Hello, Lacey, how are you feeling?" Carlisle asked kindly.

"Starting to wonder why every time I see Da- I mean, Riley, I either end up in a cast or dead." I said depressedly.

"You have a lot of explaining to do Lacey." Max said looking up from the book.

"Why didn't you explain?" I asked.

"Well, whats the fun in that? Its really funny when you get caught in your lies." Max smiled.

"Agreed." Claire smiled.

"I never lied, I just didn't tell them everything." I muttered the last part.

"Sooo, you lied." Max said.

"No, its different." I insisted.

"Suuuure."

"Just tell them."

"No, in this life, I don't have to take orders from you."

"Ugh."

"Just someone go downstairs and explain." Edward sighed, with crutches in hand.

"Fine, I'll do it." I sighed.

Seth helped me up and Edward handed me the crutches.

I surprised everyone by already knowing how to use them.

"She was very, very, very, very clumsy before." Max laughed.

"Will you shut up?" I asked as we entered the family room where everyone was waiting except Jacob.

Weird…

"Wheres Jacob?" I asked.

Leah shuffled uncomfortably as everyone turned to glare at her.

"He got hurt, a newborn crushed his entire right side." Embry admitted.

"And I'm guessing that happened because Leah was being an idiot?" I guessed.

'Yeah's, 'Pretty much's, and one 'I'm not an idiot!' from Leah confirmed my guess.

"Now, its your turn to explain. Spill." Alice said poking my side playfully.

"Yeah, um, funny story…"

A/N:

Yeah, I know it is a short chapter but I'm still proud of it!

I'm SO SO SO SO SO SORRY for not updating but I went to NYC and I didn't have a computer or wifi for that matter.

Also, I won't be updating for about another week because I'm now going to Florida.

Yeah, I'm one busy person.

See ya!

OH, and REVIEW!
