Chapter 3: Pain
Cullen's house
Carlisle calmly strode over to the door, and looked the girl straight in the eye. "Who are you," he asked, "why are you here, and how did you find us? Rayona replied, "My name is Rayona, and I am looking for my boyfriend, Rook Blanco, who had a RHSC implanted in his brain the day he was born, and I followed the signal on my navigation system on my spaceship. I came looking for him because I heard he got hurt, and I was wondering if there was anything I could do to help him." Carlisle sighed. "And what, pray tell, is a RHSC, and how long have you known eachother? I swear I've seen you before. Before we go any further, let's see if he recognizes you." Carlisle said. Rook heard Rayona's voice and his eyes widened in surprise. "Rayona," he called, "is that you?" Rayona's eyes filled with love for Rook, and she replied, "Yes, my love, it is me. I came to look for you." To Carlisle she said, "A RHSC is a Revonnahghander Homing Signal Chip. Rook and I have known eachother since we were babies. Carlisle looked at Alice and she shrugged. Jasper smiled, "Ah, young love," he said, "she is so naive, but a very good girl considering how concerned she is about him." Alice nodded and said, "They must be really close to eachother for her to come this far looking for him." Carlisle asked Rook, "How do you two know eachother?" Rook replied, " We grew up together on Revonnah, and we ended up dating. I am surprised to see her on Earth, because she rarely comes here from Revonnah, usually because there is some sort of problem on Revonnah at the time that she needs my help to handle. Which reminds me, Rayona what is wrong on Revonnah, to bring you all this way?" Rayona took a deep breath and said, "Rook I hate to tell you this, but the Incursean Empire is attacking Revonnah, and help is needed to keep Revonnah from being taken over." Rook eyes widened and he made a sound Rayona knew was the start of one of his fits. Carlisle looked Rayona in the eye and asked her, "What is going on with him?" Rayona replied, "That sound is the sound he makes just before one of his fits starts. I suggest that we give him a moment to think this over and cool off or we will be in big trouble."

Ben looked at his cousin, and Kevin, and then his grandpa. "What are we going to do, grandpa?" I have known Rook for so long, I don't know whether or not this will work for three days. Are you sure it'll be okay?" he cried. Max put a hand on Ben's shoulder, and said, "Ben, it's not like you are working with someone you've never worked with before. I promise, you'll be able to make the best of it."
Cullen's house
five minutes later Rook's fit ended, and Emmett convinced him to lay down, and Carlisle was talking to Rayona, to see if she would be willing to go through this with Rook, to help him stay calm through the knowledge that he was not going to be alone in this. Rayona agreed. Carlisle led her over to the bed next to Rook's and she climbed in and laid down. Rook reached for her hand, and his eyes conveyed his fear. She looked at him in a way that showed him that it would be okay, and for him to just stay calm, it would be alright. Carlisle bent over Rook and bit down into his neck, and a shriek like no other left his mouth. Rayona looked at him and he quieted down quickly. Carlisle did the same thing to Rayona, but not sound came out of her mouth, and Rook was surprised at how calm she was. Carlisle was equally impressed. Alice took her place next to Rayona, who they had discovered just so happened to have a very high pain tolerance level. Jasper sat down next to Rook and began to reassure him. For the rest of the day, the house echoed with the sounds of Rook's screams.
