"You're not ready yet?" I yelled at Jake. We were supposed to be at Paul and Rachel's new place right now for a "party" and Jake was sitting in his underwear in front of the TV.

"I don't want to go." He whined and held A.J closer. They were now 6 months old and looked like a small two year old. They grew up so fast that I barely noticed the time fly by but thankfully they had started to slow down.

"Get dressed." I told him and picked up A.J. I walked with him to the door and opened it. I saw my parents walking up to the house.

"Hello, Anthony!" My mom smiled and held her arms out.

"GRANDMA!" He yelled and ran up to her for a hug. She lifted him up and tickled him.

"Cutie pie." she whispered to him. "I can see you are ready." She said and looked at Jacob over my shoulder.

"Yeah." I rolled my eyes. "I'm just going to get Sarah and I'll be right back." I said to mom before I walked upstairs to get Sarah out of her crib. This whole thirst thing had turned her upside down a bit.

"Here is the princess." I smiled and handed Sarah over to my dad.

"There she is." He smiled to her and hugged her. "We will bring them back whenever you want. Just call."

"Thanks. Oh! And here is their bag." I said and handed him a bag full of their favourite things and more.

"Heavy!" My dad teased before they walked away.

I closed the door and walked up to Jacob on the couch. "Come on. Get ready."

"Fine," he sighed and walked upstairs.

"And don't pout about it!" I yelled at him and got my bag before I walked outside. I decided to get the car ready to waste no time. My heels dug into the ground as I stomped outside, annoyed by how lazy Jacob was and I stopped cold when I felt a feeling of unease come over me. I looked around me but was there nothing. I shrugged it off and walked to get the car started.
When we arrived at Paul and Rachel's new place everybody was already there. That's what you get when you have a lazy husband! I was just ignoring the anger I felt earlier and looked forward to a night with my family. Everybody greeted us with hugs and warm welcomes.

"Dinner is almost ready." Rachel smiled to us and walked back into the kitchen. I walked after her.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" I asked her.

"Well you can get the pie out of the oven and whip up some cream please." She smiled and continued hacking vegetables.

"You got it." I smiled and put my glass of wine down. "So how is the new house?" I asked as I got the pie out.

"Great! We love it here." She smiled.

"It is a great place." I mumbled and put the pie down.

"How has it been for you so far?"

"Good. Nothing to complain about but I still miss home though."

"Yeah. But it's nice with a change of scenery isn't it?"

"That is true." I nodded and started to whip up the cream.

"Paul really loved the big yard. He always wanted a big yard to play football and stuff on. He can't wait till the boys grow up." She smiled.

"Ageing can be a great thing."

She laughed and put the finishing touches to the food. "Is the cream done?"

I nodded and we put everything out on the table.

"Dig in." Rachel smiled and sat down with the rest of us.

"This looks great, Rachel." Jacob smiled and started to put food on his plate.

"Thank you." She said with triumph.

"So does everyone like their new homes so far?" Jake asked and got good responses. Quil was the only one who was a bit iffy about this whole moving thing. The reason they all came with us was pretty simple. We were a family. When we were done with dinner we went outside to the bonfire Paul had prepared and all sat around it.

"Did anyone see the news today? Some teenagers were killed." Paul said.

"Yeah I saw that right before we came here." Jake said and took another bite.

"What?" I had heard nothing of this and it made my core shake. I know my children will be stronger than most but the thought of them hurt…

"Yeah. It was brutal. One of the kids head's had almost been ripped right off." Paul explained with a gesture. Both Seth and I flinched.

"That's terrible." Seth mumbled with his eyes wide open.

"Good to know, we can protect our children." Sam said and raised his glass.

We all gave him a weird look as he smiled to Emily. "We are having a baby." Emily smiled to us and we all cheered. Knowing how much I love my children and how terrible my life would be without them, I was so happy that they would get to feel that way.

"Good job!" Jake laughed and gave Sam a pat on the back. The rest of the night was ironically spent talking about children, a night that was supposed to be spent with just adults and no restrictions or responsibilities quickly turned out to the exact opposite.

"We should probably get home." I whispered to Jake.

"Yeah… I miss them." He smiled.

"Let's go get them home." I kissed him quickly before we announced that we were going to leave. Just like we were greeted, our good byes were filled with hugs and love. I walked up to my side of the car and waited for Jake to come out. He was still inside with the guys and making up plans for the pack meeting. Just as I got a grip around the handle I got a chill down my back. I quickly turned around and saw a blurring image move away from me.

"Okay, see you guys later!" Jacob said to the guys as he walked out. I shook my head and opened the door and got in.

"That was a great night.." I smiled as I drove us home.

"It really was. It was great seeing all of them." He mumbled.

"Tired?" I laughed.

"I still have some energy." he smiled and caressed my thigh. My smile was quickly wiped away and I bit my lip.

"We have to get the car home." I mumbled to him. "…but we also have to go to the big house. We could run there." I smirked to him.

Running there meant we would have alone time on the way.

"Sounds great." he said and I drove faster. We quickly arrived home and got out right away. We ran towards each other and met at the hood of the car. I threw my arms around him and he lifted me up in his arms as we kissed.

"We could have tonight you know." he mumbled in my mouth. I responded by pulling him closer.

"All night?" I giggled.

"All night," he moaned and sat me down on the hood of the car. "All fucking night," he mumbled as he kissed me all the way from my mouth and down to my chest. I wrapped my hands around his head and my eyes locked on something in the forest. I squinted my eyes and tried to focus on it? Two eyes? They looked familiar. I froze when I realized it wasn't an 'it.' It was a somebody. Jake stopped kissing me and turned around to the forest. The eyes in the forest narrowed and I heard a growl before the person ran away. Jake let go of me and I slid of the hood as he ran after the person and phased as he reached the forest. I panicked when I realized they were running towards the big house. I let out a growl as I ran after them. When I reached the forest I felt the scent. A vampire. It motivated me to run faster and I quickly caught up to Jacob. I gave him a quick glance and his face was frantic. He was growling so loudly that it almost made my head hurt. When I realized that the vampire got ahead of us I screamed as loud as I could out of sheer panic and anger. I would let no one hurt my children. Alice had to have seen this! Why weren't they here helping us? Why was this vampire here? Who was it? The vampire stopped to a halt when we were about to reach the boarder where my family would be able to hear us.
GOT YOU! I thought with triumph and reached for what I now saw was a 'he.' When my hand touched his shoulder I felt a light pain go through my body and I felt like a ragdoll as I flew back in the air. I heard Jacob get hit with such power that his whine was cut off. He landed on the ground next to me, human. He rolled around in pain and my head filled with the lust for revenge. I laid there for a couple of seconds as I tried to make my body move. I made small movements for another few seconds and got my hand up in the air. He grabbed it, whoever he was.

"Sorry my love," he whispered and leaned down to kiss it. "See you soon." He mumbled. The light from the street hit his face enough for me to make out some features noticeable on his face. He smiled as I crawled back up and tried to stand up. He walked over to Jacob and I heard him scream in pain as the man kicked him into a tree. I heard the tree crack and Jacob's whimpering pleas for help brought me back to my knees.

"Till next time my love." The man smiled and ran away. Thankfully, not towards the big house. I looked over to Jacob who was laying almost lifeless on the ground with a tree on the ground next to him.

"JACOB!" I screamed and franticly stumbled over to him. His eyelids were heavy and his mouth was open and he was franticly chipping for air. "Jacob..." I whispered with tears as I cupped his face. "Please..." I tried to lift him up but as soon as I touched him he screamed. "I'm sorry." I cried. I didn't want to leave him here but I knew I had. "I will be back, okay?"
He nodded slightly and I laid his head back down on the ground. "I promise." I mumbled and kissed him before I once again stumbled towards the boarder. It was a minute away which wasn't much for me normally but the pain was still lingering in every inch of my body and I knew I was too weak to help Jacob. Right when my feet hit the boarder I fell to my knees and let out a million thoughts to my dad.

Keep them safe.

I pleaded to him. I wanted help but keep them safe. After what felt like a million years I couldn't hold back.

"HELP!" I screamed at the top of my lungs as tears fell down my face. The pain made my body and mind out of balance.

Can you guess who this vampire is? ;) Hope you liked this chapter and please be kind and leave feedback :)

And thanks to Sam for the help!
