A/N: Sorry, I meant to have this out sooner but I got caught up in writing my second book that I am hoping to get done by the end of summer. Hope you all enjoy this chapter! Feel free to leave reviews! Happy reading!

Carlisle looked at Amelia. He had carried her back to the carriage. She was breathing and her heart beat was steady. Carlisle was not worried about her as she was just overwhelmed by his confession. He tucked her in and went out to where Julius was waiting.

"She'll be out for a while, I think." Carlisle stepped out and away from Julius.

"You shouldn't have told her of our true nature. Aro will have your head for this."

"He won't find out unless you tell him."

"Carlisle, humans cannot handle the truth. They either get turned after it or they die."

"I know this but she is different. She can handle the truth, she will be fine."

Julius looked over to the carriage. "You call that handling it?" He pointed over to the carriage, "that is far from handling it Carlisle!"

Carlisle didn't look at the carriage but kept his stare on Julius. "She will handle it! It was just too much at once. She would have figured it out that!"

"No Carlisle, we could have kept her in the dark."

"No, it's not fair to her. She would have kept questioning it, she would have found out Julius."

Julius stared at Carlisle. There was no reasoning with him. Carlisle walked away from him and Julius knew that Carlisle was in over the head. He didn't know what Carlisle was doing or where they were going. He wondered if he too was in over his head. Could he keep up the charade with Aro. He would have to check in soon. He would need to send a letter back otherwise more trackers will be sent out.

Carlisle had to walk away from Julius. He knew that Julius was right, Amelia couldn't handle the truth. Now he endangered her even more. He didn't know what he was doing and things were slowly spiraling out of control. He couldn't afford to lose control. He ran into the woods. He tore down a few trees just trying to get control of the situation around him, to release some pent up anger.

After a few trees he didn't feel any better. He sat there and just stared up at the stars that were coming out. He wished that he wasn't in this mess. He wished that he met Amelia when he was human, things would be simple. They wouldn't be on the run. There would be no threats to them. He let out a growl in frustration.

"Carlisle!" Julius broke up his thoughts.

"Over here!" He called out.

"She awoke and is leaving," Julius said as he found Carlisle.

"What do you mean leaving?"

"She came out of the carriage and saw me. I tried to talk to her then she took off running."

"You didn't go after her?" Carlisle stood up. His rage came back.

"I came to find you. I figured if you caught her, she would respond better to you than to me."

"Let's go." Carlisle took off back towards the carriage.

It took them a few minutes to get back there. "Which way did she run?"

"She headed west towards the woods. I can track her if you want?"

"Yes, please do I will follow your lead."

They ran for a few minutes before Julius seemed to pick up her scent. He started to slow. Carlisle only assumed they were catching up to her. Carlisle then saw her dodged a branch. He sprinted full speed to get in front of her.

He went in front of her a few paces and caught her as she frantically tried to run around him.

"Hey, where are you going?" He said as he spun her around making her stop.

"Don't touch me! Get off!" She struggled trying to get out of his grip.

"Stop, just listen to me."

"No, let go of me!" Carlisle let her go but Amelia stayed put. She didn't run again. She knew she couldn't outrun them.

"I don't want to go anywhere with you," she screamed.

"Please, at least let me take you to the next village. I do not want you out wandering on your own."

"I'm not going anywhere with you. What's could possibly hurt me in the woods when the real monsters are right in front of me?!"

Carlisle flinched at her words. He couldn't respond. Amelia stepped around him and headed deeper into the woods. He didn't dare go after her. She needed time.

"Follow her," Carlisle ordered Julius. "Make sure that no harm comes to her. If she keeps going that way she should hit a village by tomorrow, if she doesn't change her mind beforehand."

"What about you?"

"I'm going back to the carriage and I will wait for you at the village. I will look for you."

"Okay."

"Make sure no harm comes to her. You do not approach, just follow. Only intervene if necessary." Carlisle stared at Julius to make sure that he was crystal clear. "Not a hair out of place, not a single injury. If anything happens to her, I will end you on the spot."

"Understood. See you at the village."
