What the heck? To say i am furious would be the understatement of the year. I am so furious that i am seeing red. My wolf is itching to tear something apart. They are not here, the cullens. She is not here, lilly. They are gone, all of them & they took lilly too. My mate, my imprint. Lilly. Yesterday i imprinted on her and left for my home because cullens insisted on having some alone time. I came early in the morning to see my lilly again.

But when i reached the vamp house, it was EMPTY. No one was home. Not a single person, not even a leech. They left, i know they left and my lilly is gone too. I ran all the way to Seattle in the hope of catching my imprint's scent, in the hope of catching her before she leaves Washington, before she leaves me.

But deep down i knew it was all in vain. They left hours ago. Probably right after we left their house. I snarled at the thought. They lied to me. They told us to leave, so that they can leave without any problem. They could be anywhere now. For all i know they could be out of country. I howled feeling the pain caused by separation and distance from my mate.

I am scared that i will never see her again. I am confused. Why cullens left? I mean i know i am their enemy, but do they hate me that much? And i am feeling guilty. I should not have left. I should not have trusted them. Now, i lost my imprint. Last night, my instincts told me that something was wrong. But i brushed it off. I thought maybe imprinting on vampire's daughter was messing with my head. I thought my wolf was going crazy because i left my mate in a house full of vampires. I should have trusted my instincts. I should have listened to my wolf.

'jake, you should calm down' sam tried to reason with me. I just snarled at him in the mind link. My wolf was too far gone to understand anything anymore. Sam sighed loudly, understanding my pain. He was in my mind after all. They all felt my pain.

...Time skip...

It's been two day since they left. I winced in pain, which came with the thought of lilly. I am still in my wolf form. I am drained. I am in pain. I am scared and I am angry. I met my soul mate once, just once, before she was ripped away from my life. I knew cullens were there, at the airport. Their stench was mixed with my mate's scent, which is a perfect combination of chocolate and spices. We tried to get information about flights but airport authorities refused. Pack had to drag me out of there before i could rip someone's throat out.

I stayed outside of the airport till it rained and washed my lilly's scent away. I have been in woods since then, constantly running in circles to think, to clear my head so that i can find lilly. I am losing hope with each passing second. Seth tried calling the vamps on phone but it was a wasted effort. I was getting desperate. There was no chance in hell that i could find her now. Time is ticking.

Rosalie's POV

I am worried about my babygirl. It has been a month since we left Forks. We had to get out of there before those dogs could get their dirty hands on lilly. We left before jacob had a chance to corrupt lilly. We left. Well, basically I forced everyone to leave Forks. Lilly does not even know the real reason. All she knows is the lie that we told her about wolves not agreeing to our terms.

But, the plan backfired. Lilly is sick. She has been sick for a month now. She can't eat or keep anything down. She is constantly throwing up and getting weaker and weaker by day. Carlisle had to set an IV to keep lilly hydrated and alive. She looked far away from her normal, healthy and happy self as I was used to see her since her childhood.

The first time when i laid my eyes on lilly, i felt at peace. I felt a calm i have never felt before regardless of the circumstances. We were hunting in woods when we heard a crash from nearby road. We were too late, but not for lilly. Her parents were dead before we got there. But little lilly was there, crying her eyes out. She survived the crash without even a single scratch, which was a miracle.

The moment i saw her, i knew she was mine. The first time i held her, she stole my heart with her beautiful eyes. She had no one else left to care for her. Parents were dead and grandparents were long gone too. No living relatives to take her in. And, i never wanted to lose her to the government system. I wanted her for myself. She was just a baby. She needed someone to love her, care for her. I just could not let her go.

It took some convincing, but my family agreed on adopting lilly. We understood the risks surrounding the idea. Our thirst, letting her in on the vampire secret, breaking our most absolute law, the volturi. We understood it all.

To avoid volturi, we stopped visiting them. We avoided them at all costs to keep our lilly a secret from the vampire world. But when bella visited Italy to save edwad, all secrets were revealed. With just one touch, aro knew everything about lilly through edward and alice's minds. He was furious at us. Edward came back with bella to Forks, while alice stayed in Italy. We all flew to Italy to meet volturi while lilly was still in London.

We knew the rules. A human who knows our secret should be killed instantly or worse changed. We argued, we talked, we begged, we did everything to stop any harm coming to lilly. But aro was adamant. He left us with only one choice.

Change her. We protested but he is the law. I still remember his words 'this is your punishment. To see your lovely daughter turn into a monster that you hate the most. She is still young. So i will give you five years. We will come to check her transformation ourselves. Till then, enjoy whatever time you have left with your human.' I shuddered at the memory.

We tried to protected lilly from all that mess, just for her to get imprinted on and get in this mess. We have left just three years of her human life now.

'We have to go back rosalie' carlisle brought me back into the present as he came out of lilly's room. 'i know what you think of jacob and his bond with lilly, but this is getting out of hand. Imprinting is affecting lilly and she is getting worse by day. We must go back' he suggested.

'i will think about it' i told him. I entered lilly's room. She was almost asleep. 'hey mom' she greeted in a small voice. 'hey baby, you feeling okay now' i kissed her forehead.

'i have been better' she smiled slightly. I winced. My poor baby is suffering because of that dog and his wolf bond with her. 'mom, am i dying?' suddenly she joked. That was my breaking point. That was the point when i made my decision.

I hated the idea of dragging a human life in this dark and hidden world. That is why i was so against the idea of bella turning into a vampire too. Guilt of dragging lilly in this mess was eating me, so i protested the idea of bella turning into a vampire at every point. For lilly i became selfish. I kept her for myself. But, it was time to clean this mess.

I don't have anything against the Government or the foster system..just making sure. Review or PM me.
