EMMETT

"Emmett, Jasper," I heard Edward call from the hall. I made my way to where his voice was. Chantelle was hugging Eddie and she looked like she was upset.

"Chantelle?" I asked, what was wrong with her?

"I'm okay," she replied.

"Emmett, Jasper we need to go out for a while, I'll explain on the way." Edward said walking over to the door. "We'll find her Chantelle. She won't hurt anyone," he said towards Chantelle. Did someone hurt Chantelle? I knelt down to where she was standing.

"Chantelle? What's going on?" I asked her, she pulled away from Eddie and ran into my arms. I wrapped my little girl up and held her tight against me.

"Chantelle?" I heard Rosalie call; I looked up to see my wife join us in the hall. Edward walked over to Chantelle unwrapping her scarf from her neck.

"Emmett we really have to go," Edward said catching my attention. I pulled away from my daughter and kissed her forehead. I stood up and followed Edward and Jasper out of the house.

"Okay explain to me why my daughter is so scared," I ordered him as we began running.

"She went to the mall with a friend only they came across a vampire. She asked them if they wanted her to turn them. Chantelle saw her go off with a man and come back with red eyes. She was scared because she knew Chantelle was special."

The fury inside of me was burning brighter and brighter. No one touches my little girl. I forced myself to go faster towards Seattle.

"What about her friend is she okay?" I asked. I heard Edward swallow.

"Yeah they're okay."

"Good."

We arrived at the mall ten minutes later. Edward forced us to slow to human pace as we walked through the door.

"Follow me," he said as we walked through the mall. "Here, smell this. Can you recognise it in the air?" He said.

"Yeah," I said after separating the scents all around us.

"Mhmm," Jasper answered. We followed the scent to the food court.

"Split up, see if you can find where she went," Edward ordered and we split up in opposite directions.

I walked further into the food court, I could smell Chantelle's scent and the vampires, I reached a table where their scents were the strongest.

"She's gone," I heard Edward say. I looked up at him standing next to me. There was something else he wasn't telling me.

"What's up?" I asked.

"Well. I found traces of Chantelle's… friend… with the vampires scent. I think he went back to find her."

"He?" I asked.

"Yeah, he." He replied, I tried to keep my temper down, my little girl had gone out with a boy?

"So he came back to find the vampire?" I asked. Edward nodded. Well shit.

"Let's get back. There's nothing we can do now. He's either dead or turning."

We all made it back to the house. Chantelle ran out of the living room.

"Did you kill her?" she asked. We shook our heads.

"Chantelle…" Edward began.

No! I shouted in my head. Don't tell her; ask her if she's heard from him. Let's be sure before we say anything. Edward nodded at my side.

"Have you rang Alex yet?" he asked. Chantelle's eyes flickered to me, I smiled warmly at her. At this moment I didn't care that she had a boyfriend, I cared that her boyfriend could be dead. She shook her head. "I think you should," Edward said to her. Chantelle frowned at him.

"Okaay," she said and pulled out her phone, she placed it to her ear and waited.

"He's not answering," she said hanging up. She looked at us. "What's going on?" she asked.

"Chantelle… I think…"

"Guuuys," Alice suddenly called. We all turned to look at her at the top of the stairs. "It looks like we're going to have a visitor." She said making her way down the stairs. What a perfect way to change the subject Alice.

"Who?" Carlisle asked coming out.

"Oh well Renesmee will be happy," Edward said.

"Zac."

"Zac? When?" Renesmee asked coming out of her room, Jacob behind her.

"A week," Alice replied. Renesmee squealed in excitement.

"Chloe!" she shouted and went into Eddie's room.

Edward didn't manage to tell Chantelle about her boyfriend. He decided he'd wait a few days and see if he turned up.

Three days later Alice came skipping down the stairs and into the living room. She paused at the door suddenly, staring into space like an idiot.

"Are the Lakers going to win the game then Alice?" I asked laughing; she ignored me and ran out of the room. I laughed and turned back to watch the TV.

"Chantelle," Alice shouted.

"What's going on?" she asked as she came down the stairs.

"Alex... he's…"

"On his way, I know."

"But Chantelle…" Edward said, I stood up from the couch and made my way over to where they were talking. The was a knock at the door.

"He's less than an hour old." Edward said, his voice was thick with worry.

"What do you mean?" Chantelle asked walking over to the door.

"No!" Edward shouted as she opened it. He pulled Chantelle back behind him. Alex was standing there. His eyes blood red.

"Alex… you… no!" Chantelle screamed, she started to cry.

"Chantelle, look at me. I'm special." He said to her stepping into the room.

"No!" she cried again. Edward catching her as she fell to her knees.

"Hmm.. you smell, amazing," Alex said stepping towards her.

"No!" I shouted running over to him. I secured him in my grasp. Jasper, Rosalie and Alice joined me.

"Alex please…" Chantelle begged.

"You don't smell like a human though, what are you?" he asked. "I'm not going to hurt her. I don't think," he said to us. I didn't loosen my grip.

"I'm half vampire." She sobbed towards him.

"Half?" he asked, his head tilting.

"What's going on?" Eddie asked from the top of the stairs. A lot happened in the next second. Chloe stepped out from behind Eddie. The scent hit us at the bottom of the stairs. Alex growled and hissed, breaking free of our grasp and ran towards Chloe.

"Bella!" Edwards screamed. Bella was suddenly at the top of the stairs, having just come out of Renesmee's room and her shield surrounded Chloe and Eddie. Alex was knocked back down the stairs, he ran straight back up the stairs growling like an animal but he was knocked back again. We all ran to restrain him. With Edward, Jasper, Rosalie, Alice, Carlisle and I all holding onto a piece of the thirteen year old boy; he was restrained.

"Get Chloe out of here!" Edward ordered. Eddie wrapped his arms around Chloe and took her into Edward and Bella's room, the closest room with a balcony. Bella came down the stairs towards us. Her shield dropping.

"What…?" Alex asked. "How do you stand being so near her?" she asked us all.

"Years of practice," Carlisle said placing his hand on the boys shoulder.

"What was that?" he asked Bella.

"My gift. Some vampires have gifts. Mine is a shield." Bella answered him.

"Alex… why did you go back?" Chantelle asked, still sitting on the floor.

"My mom wanted to go back to the mall, so I went with her. I saw the woman again. She asked me where you were, I told her you went home. Then she told me what you were, or at least she said she thought you were a vampire, you were different though, and she was confused by you. She then told me what she was and whether I wanted to be like her. Special."

"You're not special. There are loads like you. My entire family are like you," she replied to him. He shrugged.

"Can you let go of me please? I'm not going to go after the human." He said to us. "I find it really hard not to drink when I'm around them. I don't know what it is."

"It will get easier." Carlisle said sympathetically.

"Alex…" Chantelle sobbed.

"Don't be scared Chantelle, now we can be together forever," he said to her. He walked over to her and knelt down. I took a step closer, so did Bella. She had her shoulder on Chantelle, ready to extend her shield if needed.

"But Alex… I didn't want you to be a vampire. You were normal and human and…" he interrupted her.

"But it's better now," he said reaching out to stroke her cheek.

"I need to think about this…" she said. Alex withdrew his hand and nodded.

"Okay, I'm just a phone call away," he said standing up.

"Alex, you are welcome to stay here-" Carlisle began.

"No, it's okay. I live with Sara now."

"Is that the one that turned you?" Chantelle asked. He nodded.

"I'll talk to you soon," he said and placed a kiss on her hair. Bella gripped Chantelle tighter and I took a step towards them. He pulled away.

"Do not follow the humans scent. We will not hesitate to kill you if you harm her," Edward said to Alex. Alex nodded.

"I will try my hardest."

"When you leave our house go to the right. Follow it until you reach the main road, you will stay clear of the humans scent that way." Edward said, Alex nodded and ran out the door.

"So…" I said breaking the silence. "Why didn't you tell me you had a boyfriend?" I asked my daughter.
