I would've written more, but I hope it's enough. I'm off on Thanksgiving break and I'll update faster then.


"Now Edward when you said you wanted to do something. I did not expect us to arrive in Canada." I said to Edward as we walked in a snow covered forest.

"And I didn't expect for you to be writhing under me from pleasure the other day." He said with a smirk on his face.

My eyes widen and I hit his shoulder. "Edward? Where the hell did that come from?"

He shrugged his shoulders, "You make me feel human. And making inappropriate jokes is definitely something humans do."

"Well I like you better as a vampire. Don't think of it as being human, but being alive. I'm not human, and I don't want to be either." I said in a whisper as Edward walked ahead of me. He stopped in front of me and the trees covered my view.

He turned around with a thoughtful look on his face and said, "You know you always have something wise to say. Another thing I love about you." I smiled at that. Edward grabbed my hand and led me over to where he was standing. My jaw dropped at the vision.

A big frozen lake stood a few feet away from us. "This is beautiful."

"I found this a few months back. I remember you told me that you used to ice skate." He took off his backpack and took out two pairs of skates. "You up for it?" he said looking at me happily.

"Of course." He handed me a pair of white skates. I would worry that I didn't break them in first, but my feet would heal anyway. "Have you ever ice skated before?"

His face was a grimace of pain, "Alice took everyone out one year. Emmett thought it would be funny break the ice. He ended up destroying the whole lake and everyone had to swim out of the water."

We both put on our skates while sitting on a log. I was happy to be wearing jeans with leg warmers and thick socks along with a wool sweater and a long sleeve shirt. I wasn't used to being this cold. Edward got up first and helped me over to the ice.

Edward skated like a pro to say that he only skated once. He made me feel like an amateur and he would brush me off when I made a comment about it. I glided over to the center and twirled around. My spinning ceased as my necklace burned my neck. I looked down to see the glowing light flicker. Edward was behind me in an instant when he saw me stop. Something was out in the trees watching us. I could feel it, but I knew Edward couldn't sense them like less time.

"Edward, do you see anything, or hear it?" He clutched my hands in his and shook his head as he scanned the trees for anything.

"Well we should-"I was cut off by something hitting me in the chest. My back hit the hard ice as I landed. A shadow came from the trees before us. It turned out to be the man from before. His skin was tinted an orange color but other than that he looked normal. He walked his way over to us on the ice without falling.

Edward picked me up off the ice. "What do you want!" I yelled as he came to a stop a few yards away. I put my hand to Edward's chest as he tried to move.

"Want? I want nothing, but I was sent to take care of a loose string." I hissed at him unconsciously, "It's time for you to say goodbye to your boyfriend Menah Wisadon." As he said that a woman came out from behind him, but she stayed back. She also had a weird tint of red in her skin.

In my hand I conjured up an orb of green light this time. With no hesitation I threw it right at the man and the orb turned into vines and wrapped around him. His companion joined in and started to help him out when I threw another one. "Edward stay back." I didn't let him answer as I skated closer to the two. I focused on a big fire ball and sent it their way, but it was reflected back to me. It was coming to fast to stop it; however when it came in front of me it suddenly disappeared. I look at the woman to see a hateful look upon her face.

In one second she was gone. I looked around and couldn't find her I turned back around to hear Edward yelling my name and the woman before me. A fire ball appeared in her hand instead of throwing it at me she sent it to the ice. She jumped back in time, but I fell in the water. In slow motion I fell, but I saw Edward coming towards me. Also the Cullen's emerging from the trees. As that happened I felt the cold water surround my body as I fell through the hole.

Edward POV

I threw the woman away from Menah, but I was too late to catch Menah from falling into the frozen water underneath the surface. I watched as Emmett, Carlisle, and Jasper ran from the snow covered forest. Emmett held down the man and Jasper came for the woman before they can leave.

Carlisle headed my way as I jumped in after Menah. She wasn't too far ahead of me, but the current was pulling her further away from me. I used my strength and kicked my legs while taking of the skates in the process.

I swam straight for her and grabbed her arm. She looked as if she was sleeping. Shaking my head I swam to the top and smashed a hole in the surface of the ice. I pushed Menah through the hole first and then I hopped out after her. I watched as they held the two people down.

The man spoke before I could tell her anything, "Why is it whenever I find your pretty little girlfriend she's with you?" he spoke with a weird accent that was unknown to me. "You should just leave while you can buddy. Life is only going to get rough for you."

The woman spoke next, "I would just love to kill you instead. Did you know that if an Eternal's mate dies she would soon follow? She'll be so depressed and become ill. And we'll watch as the life is sucked away from her eyes. You be dead along with that harlot." She hissed at the end of her sentence.

All I could see was red before I leaped for her. See was only in my sight for a second then she disappeared along with the man. My mind went right to Menah. I hurried and picked up her cold body. "Edward, what happened?" Emmett asked.

Carlisle spoke for me. "Not now. We need to get Menah warmed up then we can discuss what's happened." We ran off the ice and towards Forks.

Menah POV

"Welcome back Menah." Jasper said as I sat up on my bed. The covers had me too hot causing me to wake up. "Please tell me you remember what happened in Canada."

I threw my pillow at him, but he caught it and laughed, "Yes I remembered what happened, but I'm pretty sure that you were there and Edward told you the beginning." I sighed and leaned back on the headboard. "Where is Edward anyway?"

Jasper's face turned to what he basically was, stone. "He's out hunting with Emmett." His voice seemed void. "I'll leave you to rest." He ran out of the room.

I laid back down in the bed and thought of Jasper's mood swing. My thoughts sifted to other things for a few hours without me realizing it since I couldn't sleep. I got out of the bed to see that it's night time. I was in my room that the Cullen's unintentionally made for me. I walked to my closet and put on some sweats and a long sleeve shirt.

The house was quiet as I left the room. It felt empty, but I could smell them in the living area. A thought came to mind causing me to smile. I suddenly jumped over the railing and landed quietly on the floor. They didn't seem to notice since I heard them talking. I sat on the floor and listened to them.

"Edward think about what it would do to her." I heard Esme say.

Edward calmly said, "She will be better off. You heard what they said Carlisle. I can't risk it."

"I agree with Edward, we can hold it off. We also know what they're capable of." Jasper said.

What were they talking about? It sounds as if he wants to leave…
