I held Esme as she lay still rubbing my fingers along her cheek trying to coax her to wake. I can't help but feel worried by her slumber.

Aren't vampires supposed to be unable to sleep? Then why is she? What did that man do to her? Me and Alice had come home to hear fighting inside. Alice was hit with vision and confirmed my suspicions to say it was mom.

We rushed inside to see a man beating Esme. I pushed him off of her and Alice went after his head and ripped it off fast. But I realized I didn't have a lighter on me nor did Alice so we pulled his arms off grabbing mom and leaving.

We rushed to get mom out of the house because we had no way of restraining him and I wouldn't want to be there when he was put together again. We didn't have much time and had no idea if anyone else was with him so we put mom in the SUV. Alice started the car while I pushed clothes and our new purchases out and made room for me and Esme.

That's how I got to where I am now. Alice is speeding down the highway. She looks determined and nervous. She keeps glancing back at us.

"Alice what are we going to do. The guys and Bella are out hunting and I doubt they will have their phones on or will be back anytime soon. Whoever that guy was, was seriously trying to hurt her." I told Alice in a worried tone.

"He just put himself together don't ask me how and is he following our trail we need to a river or something we can travel through that will ask our scent." Alice said in a serious tone. Now wasn't the time for explanations but survival instinct.

"What about a well-populated area with lots of people. We need to get to a hotel and take care of mom. I know one in Port Angeles that could work." I offered as a solution.

"No we need to get farther I'm thinking Vegas. Plenty of people, hotels and stores for new clothes. We'll arrive at night to we don't have to worry." Alice said.

"Will she be awake by the?" I asked hopefully.

"No" Alice said, I could see the unshed tears in her eyes.

Days later we arrived at the Caesar's Palace Hotel and Casino. Me and Alice helped mom out the car gently pulling her up the stairs. Along the way we had gotten gas and changed ourselves and mom shortly before arriving. The man at the desk looked at us and then mom.

"She had a few too many, and we were wondering if you had a room we could crash. Two Queen beds and adjoining rooms." Alice said quickly.

The deskman gave us our rooms and keys and didn't look back as we began lugging mom to the elevator. We were in the elevator alone.

Once we got to the room we got to work. I started to get mom on the bed. I looked her over before pulling her clothes off to try to get her into the bath. I had practice in nursing when Bella was pregnant but this wasn't the same. Seeing the bruises covering her body made me want to throw up. There were cracks everywhere on her skin where that man had hit her. Couldn't help but feel guilt for not being there faster or there at all.

I looked over at Alice who had stripped down to her under clothes. I did the same before pulling mom into the tub. Alice had already ran some water.

When we had mom into the large whirlpool tub we began to gently clean her. I was washing her hair when I heard her moan. Alice and I looked at each other right then. Waiting for another sound quietly we continued to clean her until she did it again.

Mom opened her eyes like a baby for the first time and me and Alice couldn't help but look at her in relief. She looked confused and tried to speak but before she could Alice put a finger to her lips.

"Not yet, just rest." Alice told her.

We gently pulled her out of the tub and dried her off we changed and put her in the bed for the room. She laid there silently watching us.

"I'll go get her some blood you guys need a minute." I told Alice as I left the room.

Once I was out of the casino I was able to slip myself into the forest a few miles away. I had picked up a few empty cups and a cooler filled with ice that could be used to store blood but the fresher the better.

I was able to find a few deer which was her favorite I fed from a couple before I slit some deer's throat and drained the blood into a cup. I quickly buried the carcasses because the sun would rise soon and I didn't want to be caught outside while mom needed me inside.

I ran back to the hotel and went in again. On the way in I waved to the desk man and got in the elevator on my way up. I waited impatiently with the cooler in my hand. What if she had starved in my absence
? Was she okay? Was she even awake?

My fears were stopped when I walked into the room to see her sitting up talking quietly with Alice. Her voice was hoarse and she didn't look any better except Alice had dressed her in a white t-shirt and some blue sweatpants.

I handed Alice the blood. She began packing it into the refrigerator. I went to sit beside mom.

"Hey mom, You doing okay" I asked her while holding her hand.

"I'm not sure but I remember what happened then I zoned out in a way I guess. Are you two okay? Alice said you guys haven't contacted the rest of the family yet." She said with a small pained smile.

"I'll call them now okay." I told her and she nodded. Alice came back over and sat by the bed while I got up to go to the phone.

I dialed Emmett's phone number. Alice had told me that the whole family would be together.

"Rosalie!" I heard my husband's voice shout as soon as the phone started dialing as if he had been waiting for the call. Which he probably had been.

"Baby, are you okay?" I asked.

"Me, are you okay are Alice and Esme with you we came home to find the house a mess and the smell of some vampire what's going on?" He rushed out.

"Is everyone there?"

"yep I'll put you on speaker." He said as I heard him switch modes.

"I'm with Alice and Mom me and Alice okay but took a pretty bad beating. We are in the Caesars Palace in Nevada Las Vegas. Get down her soon and when you do we'll explain more."

"Okay we're on our way" Edward said.

"Is she okay?" I could hear my father ask quietly.

"She will be okay she just needs to heal. We think she will heal better after a meal so call when you're close and I'll explain once you're here. Be safe you guys bye." I hung up before I started to cry. It seemed the day's events had weighed heavy on me.

I walked back over to mom's bed where Alice was trying unsuccessfully to get her to drink from the cup but mom kept choking so I got her a straw which helped her a lot.

She drank the first two cups quickly but the third one was too much and she threw up all over herself and the bed.

"I'm so sorry" she said again and again trying to clean it up but she was too weak to get u.

"It's okay just rest, we got this. You are our mom and we don't mind. It was an accident." I told as I stilled her hands trying to get her to stop trying t clean it up.

"I got this Alice will you get her into the bath. I'll clean this and get some more clothes. When she's clean take her into the other room please. " I spoke to Alice she nodded before heading into the bathroom. I began cleaning the room. I put the sheets and duvet into a pile before I headed out to liberate some cleaning supplies from a cleaning lady.
