These people were crazy, I thought things had settled down, that they accepted that I wasn't this Bella person, that I was myself and that's all, but that one Edward seems to think that I am her.

It didn't help that he was in love with that girl, so when he kept calling me Bella at Jakes cookout I ran, he seemed to intent on getting me back to that house, so I bolted. I ran, I didn't know where I was going, but boy was I going there.

There was another clan up north, somewhere in Canada. One that the boys and I often called "The freaks". Only because they all had such odd powers, and some didn't have any. We had lived with them before, so I figured it would be alright to go there. At least it was somewhere safe.

It would be a long trip, but I could make it, for Damon, Aiden, and Sam…I could make it./

"Please at least let me talk to her!" I yelled into the phone. I hadn't seen Riley for days, and I was already going insane! I needed her. I thought that it would be better if I left, moved with a coven that I had before. One that I trusted some-what. But once I got here, and settled in…found a couple friends I never thought I'd see again, I was aching for Riley.

"We can't." Came a reply from the other end of the phone. It was a sad solemn one.

"What do you mean you can't? Just hand her the damn phone!" I yelled back. This was beyond absurd.

"She's not here." Came a whisper.

"What do you mean she's not there! I left her with you because you two seemed to be in love you jack ass! I told you to take care of her!" I screamed.

"I'm sorry…"

"Damon, what are you screaming about?" Came a call from the other room. Even though I missed them, and even though I thought they were dead…I was not in the mood right now to deal with it all. My one hand was gripping the fabric of the seat I was sitting in tighter, and tighter.

"Nothing Aiden!" I screamed back.

"Edward…where did she go?" I asked in a measured voice.

"I don't know." He said.

"RILEY!" I heard a scream from the other room. Then a clatter as someone was tackled.

"What…how are you guys here?" I heard her sweet voice say.

"Sorry Edward I've got to go." I said. It was better not to tell him where she was, I didn't need his family coming for her again.

"Damon, was that her? Was that Bella?" He asked hurriedly.

"No, that was my sister, Claire. She just heard about Riley, You better hope I find her before I find you." I muttered and hung up to phone. I looked up and there was Riley standing in the doorway. She looked tired, and hungry, and most of all relived to see me.

"Damon…" She whispered, than threw herself into my arms. "Why did you leave me? Why? It hurt so much." She said burying her face into my chest. This just felt so right. "Damon, Aiden, and Sam… I thought they were dead." She said looking at me confused.

"I did too, love. I did too." I said pulling her to me.

"Our family is back together." She whispered. That's right…this was out family. OURS.

"It feels right." I said nodding in agreement.

"I don't care who I am anymore as long as I can have you." She said. Her big golden eyes hitting me full force. I reached up and stroked her long brown hair.

'I agree." I said.

"Awww. How cute." Aiden said, and Sam and him began to snicker in the doorway.

"How are you two still alive?" She asked time turning her head to look at them.

"Now there's a story…here goes…" Sam said
