EDDIE

I was grinning widely as I walked up the stairs with my hand in Chloe's. I was glad my dad was giving Renesmee and Jacob a chance because that meant that Chloe and I could stay together again. I walked into my room closing the door behind Chloe. She walked over to my bed and sighed as she collapsed on the left side. I walked around to the other side and lay down next to her. She already had her eyes closed and her breathing was slow and even. I leant over and kissed just above her eyebrow. She smiled but kept her eyes closed.

"You just gunna sleep there?" I asked her.

"Mmmm," she murmured. I chuckled and climbed off my bed so I could get ready to go to bed. I had decided to sleep tonight, and it would be even better with Chloe with me. Tomorrow I was planning on driving to Seattle and talking to Anne. I walked into my bathroom and changed out of my clothes into a pair of sweats. As I came out of the bathroom I found Chloe still lying on my bed. I walked over to her and leant over her partly sleeping form.

"You can't sleep in these clothes," I whispered to her.

"Take them off me then," she said opening her eyes and grinning. If my heart beat it would have picked up but I remained calm.

"Go and get changed Chloe," I said dismissing her request. She sighed and sat up.

"Be right back," she said and left my room. I lay down on top of my covers and waited for her to return. She did less than five minutes later with her bag from Renesmee's room. She walked into the bathroom and closed the door. I waited another five minutes before she appeared in the room. I couldn't tear my eyes from her as she walked over to me. She had short shorts on, and I mean really short and a small strappy top. I sighed, fighting to remain in control of myself.

"You gotta stop that," I muttered to her as she climbed under my covers.

"What did I do?" she asked innocently, leaning over to turn my lamp off. I could still see her perfectly clearly though. She reached over to me and rested her arm across my bare chest and put her head on my shoulder. Instead of answering her out loud I just showed her. I knew she was blushing, she was normally quite confident around me, I didn't see the shy side of Chloe much anymore, but occasionally there would be something that would make her embarrassed and her shyness would slip back.

"You have no shirt on," she muttered in response. I chuckled slightly.

"I never wear a shirt to bed," I replied to her. She lifted her arm and ran her finger over my stomach and abs.

"Are you going to sleep tonight?" she asked. I nodded but answered anyway.

"Yes."

"Is it different? I mean than how humans sleep?" she asked.

"How do you sleep?" I asked her, I knew what she meant but I was curious as to what she dreamt about.

"I mean do you dream? And can you just close your eyes and you'll be asleep or does it take a while like with humans?" she asked.

"I don't dream and not really. My whole life flashes before my eyes when I fall asleep," I admitted to her. I had never told anyone before.

"Really?" she asked.

"Yeah," I answered unsure of what else to say.

"So do you see your memories?"

"Sort of. It's hard to explain. I see literally my entire life. Every second I have ever lived."

"Seriously?" she asked shocked.

"Yes, obviously it runs through my head a lot faster than how it all happened. I'm guessing the longer I live the longer it will take to fall asleep… but I dunno," I whispered.

"That's kind of weird. So like when a human dies your life flashes before your eyes, for you it's when you sleep?" she asked. I nodded.

"Mhmm."

"And you don't dream?"

"No."

"Do you ever watch my dreams?" she asked.

"Yes. Sometimes, whenever you slept over I'd come into Renesmee's room and watch you both sleep. Renesmee's head was always filled with Jacob of course. But I was happy that yours is filled with me," I said smiling. She laughed nervously.

"What would you dream about? If you could," she asked.

"You already know the answer," I whispered to her and kissed her hair line.

"I wanna hear you say it," she whispered. I laughed slightly.

"You," I whispered back into her forehead before I kissed it. "Of course it would only be you." I felt her smile against my collarbone as she kissed it.

"Go to sleep Chloe," I whispered to her.

"You first," she answered.

"I only sleep for three hours at most. You need more."

"Fine… I love you," she whispered, so low that I don't think I would have caught it if it wasn't totally silent in the house except for Renesmee, Chantelle and Chloe's heartbeats.

"I love you too babe," I whispered back, a smile growing on my face and she closed her eyes. I fell asleep soon after her, feeling her in my arms was an amazing feeling that I can't even describe.

I was awake again by one am but I enjoyed the rest of the night just watching Chloe sleep, she started stirring around nine am, within ten minutes she opened her eyes. She stared up at me, forcing to open her eyes wider.

"Hey," she muttered sleepily. I smiled widely at her.

"Good morning beautiful," I replied, she smiled back and stretched her arms above her head and yawn. I laughed at how cute she looked and she glared back at me. She finally let out a laugh and stood up from my bed.

"I'm going to Seattle today. Want to come with me?" I asked her as I walked over to my closet to get myself some clothes for the day.

"I can't. I'm sorry. I have to go home." She said walking over to her bag and sorting her clothes out. I pulled my shirt over my head and replaced my sweats with some jeans before I walked over to her. When she looked at me I pouted. She laughed and walked over to me, threading her arms around my waist.

"Sorry," she repeated again, I looked down at her and gave her a quick peck.

"It's alright," I replied and slipped out from her arms.

"Ask Ness to go with you," she said walking into the bathroom and closing the door.

"Mmmm," I murmured. I was pretty sure Renesmee would want to spend the day with Jacob, and I wasn't asking them both to come along. It was bad enough already seeing Jacob make out with my sister I didn't want to be the third wheel.

"She'll like it," she said coming out of the bathroom and coming to sit next to me on my bed. "Just you and her will be a nice sibling day out," she said grinning, I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah sure I'll ask her," I said to her.

"Good," she grinned and stood up, she walked in front of me and stood in between my legs. She reached forward and gave me a small kiss which quickly led into something more. I had my arms wrapped securely around her waist and her body was pressed up against mine in every possible way. She pulled away gasping for air but I took advantage of the fact I didn't need oxygen and continued to kiss her jaw. We soon got interrupted. Chloe's stomach made a funny noise and I knew she was hungry.

"Breakfast time for the human," I said to her taking my lips off her skin and dropping my arms so she could exit the prison of my arms.

"Damn, being human is so inconvenient," she said jokingly. I smiled at her and stood up before taking her hand.

"Come on," I laughed and we walked out of my room and into the kitchen. My grandmother was already cooking pancakes. I swear this woman was always in the kitchen, it's like she lived to cook for her grandchildren.

After Chloe had eaten her pancakes, she said goodbye to everyone and I took her home. When I got back to my house I scanned the ground floor for Renesmee and then descended onto the first. I bumped into Chantelle on the way.

"Hey Chanti, seen Nessie?" I asked. She shook her head.

"I guess she's still in her room," she said, I nodded and passed Chantelle and knocked on Renesmee's door.

"Come in," she said, I opened the door to find Renesmee and Jacob still in bed. I rolled my eyes and went to sit on her desk chair.

"Seriously, it's like eleven am." I told her, she shrugged and sat up in her bed. "Well I was just wondering if you wanna go do Seattle with me? I want to go and see Anne, remember it was your idea?" I asked her. She nodded.

"Sure. When are you leaving?" she asked climbing out of her bed.

"I was hoping as soon as possible. I need to get back to the warehouse for some training."

"Alright, can you give me half an hour?" she asked, I nodded.

"Thanks Ness," I said to her as she walked into her bathroom.

"No prob," she answered and closed the door. I turned to look at Jacob in my sister's bed.

"You can come if you want," I said to him, I didn't really want him to tag along, like I said there was only so much of Nessie and Jacob together I could take but I had to be polite.

"Nah it's okay. I have things to do," he said climbing out of the bed. I noticed he was just in his shorts. I raised my eyebrows at him. "You do realise both Renesmee and I run at over a hundred degrees? It gets hot in here," he said. I laughed.

"I bet it does," I muttered smiling at him.

"Just keep her safe," he said patting my shoulder.

"Of course," I said to him and he walked out the room.

"Jake!" Renesmee called running out of the bathroom. "Where you going?" she asked.

"To get breakfast. I wouldn't leave without saying goodbye," he said and walked out the room. Renesmee sighed and walked over to her closet. She came back out completely dressed.

Renesmee had her breakfast and finished getting ready. We said goodbye to Jacob and our parents and left. Our mom didn't like the fact we were going to Seattle on our own but dad reassured her we would be fine.

Renesmee and I arrived in Seattle and we made our way to the book shop. As I opened the door the little bell above us rang. We walked in and over to the desk. There was no one on the shop floor so I hit the little bell sitting on the table. Within thirty seconds Anne came into the room.

"Edward! Renesmee! How nice to see you again!" she said making her way over to us.

"Good afternoon Anne. How are you?" I asked remembering to stay polite.

"I am very well thank you. And your selves?" she asked sitting down in the chair behind the desk.

"We're good thanks," I replied with a smile.

"What brings you here?" she asked.

"Well I was wondering if you happened to have any more information on my kind." I asked her, I admit it was a long shot. My grandpa told me that if Anne had anymore than that book she leant me to read she would have told me but I had so many questions that were still unanswered.

"I am afraid I don't. I am truly sorry. Your kind is just so rare. It is very hard to come by information on you. I've been trying for you, I really have. That book is a few hundred years old. It's been in my family for centuries, along with many others on the supernatural beings of our world." She said kindly.

"That's alright; I thought you were going to say that." I said sadly.

"What about others though? Do you know others like my brother?" Renesmee asked, speaking for the first time.

"I'm afraid I don't dear. There was one, I met him just over 50 years ago but he was destroyed by vengeful vampires. I was very sad to hear he died. His mate informed me before killing herself."

"Was his mate like me?" I asked.

"No, she was like your parents. Just an ordinary vampire," she said with a sympathetic smile.

"So that's how you knew what I was when you saw me?" I asked.

"That's what went through my mind, yes. Of course your father had to confirm for me. You see, you are different to how the other one was." She said standing up. Renesmee and I followed her into the back of her shop.

"How was the other one?" I asked. She motioned to the couch against the back wall; the room was surrounded with book shelves. All the books seemed ancient. I noticed the book she had given me sitting on the top shelf of one of the book cases. Renesmee and I sat down on the couch. She disappeared for a few minutes before she came back with two glasses filled with blood. She handed them too us.

"Erm… this isn't human is it?" I asked.

"No. Of course not." She said smiling at us and sitting opposite in an arm chair. I sighed in relief and brought the glass to my lips. I had never drank blood from a cup before. It was weird but tasted just as good. I recognised the tanginess of the blood to be boar. Not my favourite but it was the thought that counts.

"Thank you," Renesmee said, taking a sip too.

"You're welcome." She answered before finally returning to our conversation. "The moon pool child I met was living on human blood so his eyes were red. You have your brown eyes because you have never tasted human blood. If you had they would turn red completely. Of course as I can see now they do change colour to red slightly but not as prominent as if it were human blood you were drinking," she said. I swallowed the blood in my mouth and licked my lips before speaking.

"You can notice the change in my eyes?" I asked. I never really knew if a human would notice, my parents thought it was too subtle for anyone with human eyesight to see.

"Yes I can. That's only because I know what I'm looking for. I'd imagine an ordinary human would be oblivious to the change." She answered. I nodded taking another sip of the blood before placing the glass down on the table in front of our feet.

"Is there any way you could contact someone like me? My grandfather says that it's possible to do a summoning spell? Or a location spell or something?" I asked. She looked at me thoughtfully for a moment.

"I wish I could. I am afraid you would have to be related to them for me to locate them. Or have something of theirs, something they own or even what they look like. Without blood relatives, belongings or images of the person I can't locate them, I won't know who I'm looking for." She said sympathetically. I nodded sadly. It was worth a try.

"Never mind then," I said. Renesmee reached across and took my hand in hers.

You'll get your answers soon little brother. We have forever. She placed in my head. Anne smiled at Renesmee as if she heard what she had said to me.

The bell above the shop door suddenly rang.

"Excuse me," Anne said standing up and walking into the shop front. Renesmee and I stayed back waiting for her return. When she did she had a frown on her face. She rushed through another door and came back nearly five minutes later. She placed a bunch of objects on the table in front of us and went back into the shop floor. I heard her lock the door and return to us. I tightened my grip on Renesmee's hand.

What was Anne doing? Why did she lock us in? I knew Renesmee had heard me; she just shrugged next to me.

"I am sorry if I'm scaring you. I would never harm you. I have just been informed of something, I need to do something. You are welcome to leave. The back door is through there," she said pointing at the door she came out of earlier.

"Is something wrong?" I asked her.

"I don't know yet," she answered arranging candles and scent sticks and other ingredients on the table. Renesmee and I watched as Anne lit the candles and started saying something in a language I didn't recognise. She soon closed her eyes and placed her hands on the crystal ball in front of her. It was sort of comical to watch. A witch and a crystal ball. It was exactly like the movies. She finally stopped chanting gibberish and opened her eyes. She stared into the ball for a very long time before she chanted a few more words and blew out the candles.

"Can we know what just happened?" I asked. She began gathering her things and putting them away, she then returned to us.

"Edward you must stay safe," she said to me coming up to me and placing her hands on either side of my face.

You are in great danger, so is your sister and your family. This army of vampires are very dangerous. She placed in my head with her witch voodoo.

"They're on our side. It's okay," I assured her. She nodded.

Okay. But just keep your family safe young Edward. You need to stay safe. She said to me. I nodded at her.

"Of course," I said. I would always protect my family above anyone else. If it came down to whether that brat kid Harry or Chantelle I would always choose to protect Chantelle, the same goes with everyone I love. She nodded as if she had read my mind.

I hope you stay safe. Please give me a call next week to tell me your family are all okay. She said to me.

"Next week?" I asked.

"Yes. The battle is on Saturday. Didn't you know?" she asked. I shook my head. It was Thursday now. two days? Why hadn't we been told this?
