HI, PEOPLE! What's been up? Okay, random burst of energy is somewhat gone. Now I'm getting tired. Anyway, seriously not a lot to say. I've got no life currently, so yeah. If you want to see the hotel suite, then PM or review cause links aren't working. Onto the three vamps and the two mutants!

Road Trip 2

Emmett was relentlessly teasing me about liking geeky things and I finally had enough after about two hours, "You know what, Emmett? Shut the heck up! Did you ever stop to think that maybe I like those shows because, not only I enjoy them, but that they take me away from reality? Away from the mess and disaster my life has been? Did you ever stop to think that they help me forget what I've done and what I'm going to have to do?!" It was dead silent and I felt my anger dissipate as Jasper used his power to calm me before I physically lashed out. I took a deep breath before shutting my eyes and leaning my head back, :Wake me when we stop."

I tried to fall asleep, but it wasn't happening, so I began thinking of plans. There's going to be a million scent trails at the mansion. Victor and I are going to have to single out Logan's and follow it. This is going to be hard considering it has been a long time since that battle. Once we find Stryker, infiltrate and break Logan out. Get back to the others and fight freakin' robots. I sighed out loud and felt my body sag a little as I thought about the fight to come. I didn't care if I lived or died as long as my friends and family were safe, but it was looking like that wasn't going to be possible. I opened my eyes to meet Edward's gaze in the mirror and I saw that his eyes were dark with worry at the thoughts running through my mind.

I looked away and found Emmett suddenly hugging me, "Sorry, kiddo. Didn't think about that." I gave a wan smile before grinning as Edward pulled into the parking lot of a mall, "Okay, let's get some food for you two and some different clothes for Lexine." We all clambered out and Edward continued, "I'll go with Lexine. You three go find some food." I grumbled slightly at the thought of having a babysitter, but went along with it because it was the only way I was going to get out of this. We all separated and I questioned, "So, think I should stay with these kind of looks or make myself look younger? Cause I don't look that different as a blonde and blue eyes."

The older man studied me for a minute before nodding to himself, "Alice will kill us, but you're right. You're going to have to look younger." As if summoned, his phone rang and he put it on speaker when we were a distance away from other people in the mall, "Yes, Alice?" I heard a light sigh before the pixie spoke, "I hate to say this, but you guys are going to have to make Lexine look young. And I did so good on her. Oh well. I'm sending you the outfit now, Edward, so go for it. Good luck. By the way, Lexine, you're lucky that you don't have a womanly body yet." While I blushed, he calmly ended the call and we both shared a puzzled look, deciding to ignore Alice's last comment, as I stated, "That seemed way too easy." Edward pinched the bridge of his noise as his phone received a picture, "That's Alice for you. She must have seen something or else she wouldn't have agreed so easily."

Edward raised an eyebrow before smirking at the picture, "Let me see!" He chuckled and shook his head, "You'll see when we get you all ready. Come on. We need to hurry." I groaned, but followed him and he herded me to a bathroom, "Take the make-up off and let your hair down. Give me all the jewelry." I took off the earrings, the bracelet, the necklace, and the ring before handing them to Edward and going into the bathroom. Nobody was thankfully in there, so I scrubbed the make-up before pulling my hair down and I gasped in surprise because that literally made me look at least three years younger, "Oh my...I hate her so much right now."

I walked out and saw Edward trying not to laugh, but a small chuckle escaped him and I pouted, "Not funny. Least I still look close to my age. You're ancient and still look seventeen." He merely shrugged before putting an arm around my shoulders, "Come on, and don't speak to anyone. Your voice sounds too old for this look, so act as if you're extremely shy." I glowered, but nodded and let my hair fall across my face to hide while mumbling almost silently, "This sucks." He chuckled again as we walked and it wasn't long before we reached a store. He had me follow him closely as he grabbed items, but he wouldn't let me see them. Finally, he got everything we needed and Edward led me back to the bathroom again, "Go change and put your other clothes back in the bags."

I accepted the two bags and headed in before claiming an empty stall. I did my best to avoid looking at the clothes as I changed, but I couldn't deny the shock when I saw my full reflection after changing. Thanks to my shorter height, my lack of a "womanly body," and Alice, I seriously looked like a freakin' eleven or twelve-year-old. A woman entered the bathroom and smiled at me, "Hi, cutie! Are you lost?" I stared at her as she frowned before gently grabbing my arm and pulling me out of the restroom, "Come on, let's find your mom." Thankfully, a voice interrupted, "Excuse me, ma'am, where are you going with my baby sister?" The woman jumped a bit before looking at Edward, "Oh, I'm sorry. I saw her standing alone in there and assumed she was lost." The vampire gave a dazzling smile as the woman released me and I fled to his side, "Thank you for your concern, but she was merely admiring her new outfit most likely. Her old one had ice cream spilled on it."

The woman went back to the bathroom as Edward and I headed over to the food court. I saw Victor, Jasper, and Emmett gape at me and I blushed furiously as I sat down between my brother and Jasper, "Not a word. Alice said I needed to look younger to better disguise myself, so this is the outfit she picked. It sucks and I really don't want to be teased about it." Surprisingly, they kept their mouths shut and we continued the random talk from the car ride. We sat there for a little bit before heading back to the Volvo and we continued to drive, "I am never going on another road trip in a car again." The boys chuckled while Victor commented, "Agreed." It was about 3 AM before we stopped at a hotel again and, once again, I stared in shock at the suite we acquired.

I thought about saying something, but held my tongue when Edward shot me a look and I gave an innocent whistle while walking off to explore. I eventually went back to the main area and, after claiming Emmett's shirt again and changing, sat on the loveseat before Victor sat on my left and the other three boys took seats on the couch. Someone started a cheesy horror movie and I watched, but I slowly felt my eyes drooping shut as I fought to stay awake. I eventually slid into a more comfortable position and fell asleep.

Normal P.O.V.

Victor watched as Lexine tried to stay awake, but it wasn't long before she fell asleep on his leg. Tensing, the man looked down before relaxing with a miniscule smile as Emmett commented, "She looks her age when she's asleep. There isn't any anger or pain or anything bad. Just calm." Jasper added in, "When she's asleep, her more vulnerable side comes out. It is almost like a switch in her emotions. When she's awake, everything is on her shoulders, but it is the opposite when she's asleep." The four men watched the girl sleep and it was soon after that Victor fell asleep with one hand protectively resting on his sister's back. Edward grinned and took a picture with his phone before the three vampires turned back to the TV and watched movies until 6 AM when one of the mutants began to wake.

Lexine's P.O.V.

I stretched a little before hurriedly getting up when I realized that I had fallen asleep on Victor. I blushed when he gave me a soft smile before it was replaced with his cocky mask, "Hurry up and shower. I want to take one too." I nodded and practically ran for the bathroom as my brother chuckled behind me. I paused once I had shut the door, Did I just really call him "my brother"? Ugh...this is so freakin' confusing! I took a quick shower before dressing in the outfit from yesterday's mall trip and I walked back out to find some scrambled eggs and bacon waiting. I practically inhaled the bacon as Victor went to shower and I blushed as Jasper warned, "Don't eat so quickly, Lexine. You're going to choke, darlin'." I ate the eggs slower and he gave an approving smile before chuckling at my groan when Edward spoke, "Alice has a certain way she wants me to do your hair today. Hold still."

I pointed my fork at the blonde and growled, "I'm gonna kill your wife later." He merely smiled before heading to the TV to watch the football game with Emmett. It didn't take long for Edward to fix my hair and I grumbled to myself before we thankfully headed to the car. We only had to drive until noon because we finally reached the school. I eagerly climbed out of the car, but froze solid as I stared at what had become my home. Our impeccable grounds were burned and torn up with trees and bushes uprooted, the fountains and statues were almost completely blown apart, and the house was missing windows, there were holes in the roof and through the walls, and the front doors were hanging off their hinges. Ignoring the four men with me, I slowly walked towards the mansion and trailed my fingers over everything I walked by.

The stench of decaying bodies and old blood hit us as we got closer and closer. I stopped in the doorway and saw bodies laying haphazardly around the interior. I leaned against the door frame for support as my body shook and I whispered, "Why would they do this? We haven't done them any harm." Nobody answered me, but I hadn't expected an answer, and I spoke a little louder, "Search for any survivors. I'm going to grab different clothes from my room." They nodded and I picked my way around debris and bodies as I went to my room. My room had been caught in the crossfire and it took me a little while to dig clothes out that were still wearable. I searched for any survivors upstairs after changing and redoing my hair, but I found none. I met back with the boys out front and Edward spoke, "We didn't find any survivors. What is your plan now, Lexine? Victor?"

I folded my arms as I told them with a grim tone, "Victor and I are for sure tracking Logan down. If Stryker wanted our brother, then nothing good will come out of it. You three can go home to your family or come with us," the looks they gave me told me their decisions, "Okay then. Let Victor and I single out Logan's smell, then we'll follow the scent trail. He'll have left one for us to follow. He knows I would come, even if he was able to tell me not to." My eldest brother and I wasted no time in using our sense of smell to search and it was a little while before Victor called out, "Found the trail! Looks like Jimmy also left blood for us to follow." I nodded and Jasper said, "We're going to have to walk if we don't want to lose the trail. It's hard for vampires to follow it with it being so old." We all shared looks before we began running and I had one thought on my mind, Please be okay, Logan. I can't lose you too.
