Sunlight streaming though the blinds, faintly through the black curtains which covered them. The light that actually managed to escapse bounced off things lighting the room, filling it with light and rainbows. Aurora had been up earlier but had decided to lay in bed since it wa too early to do anything yet. She tossed her legs over the side of her monstrous bed. Her bed was a million sizes too huge for her. Moving out out her mother's house was one of the best things she ever did. The house was absolutely gorgeous. It was plenty big enough for her and the soon to be new addition to HER family. Hell it was bigger than they both needed but it was still nice. Who she condisered family was her brother and his wife her best friend, that was it other then the baby on the way. Oh and she can't forget Ryan, he isn't family but someone she loves too. Rora's room was gorgeous she had a vantastic view and a balcony. The house seemed much more like an mansion to her but Demetrius assured her it wasn't. Amazing nor any other word seemed to do it justice for how it really was, or that is how she felt anyways. Her brother was four years older than her but is a mastermind. He already owns two houses, his and the one he gave to her. That isn't counting his get away places. Though he had money and everything he was still very down to earth.

As Rora hopped down from the bed, a black fur ball rolled out from under it. Rubbing against her leg as it purred softly. Smiling down at the purring black kitten she bent down picking her up. "Well hello there Nightmare. Good morning my sweet little kitten." She said giving the kitten a gentle kiss on her head. Nightmare was one of her animals. Probably one of the more commonly found in houses that is. "Where is everyone else? Out getting into trouble and mischief? All I know is if they wake up Hannah there butts will be mine and they will be in trouble." She said and the look in Nightmare's eyes was mischievous and that worried her. Making her wonder what she was up to, they were up to, and what they were doing. Hannah was her roommate sometimes, her best friend, and her brother's wife. She was a year older, but they grew up together. It was actually kinda funny that they ended up together, most thought. Though Rora also knew even when they hated each other in the very beginning. They couldn't stand each other, insults were all one heard form the two at each other. Well that was until Anna got herself a boyfriend, it was so much worse until one day he just kissed her. From there it was perfect ever since. What more could a girl ask for then actually having her best friend as a sister.

Gently placing Nightmare down on the bed she stood. Grabbing a few things before Aurora headed into the bathroom. Sighing softly as she shut the door, she let herself lean against it as she did. Placing her head against the door staying there for a moment. Pushing away from the door she placed her Ipod and her Ipod speakers on the toliet. Hanging up her towel on the metal towel rack after. The bathroom was so luxurious. It relaxed and calmed her, sometimes sh ewould fill the tub up and relax in a bath, reading or something. Usually taking a bath always helped her relax or calm her. And the tub in this house was absolutely vantastic. It not only had the luxurious bath but a shower as well. It was like her own mini private spa. It was a very small piece of heaven or so she thought that atleast. It was one of the few things that helped her. Little things like that relaxed her, a nice hot bubble bath or something. She was simple to please, or well her brother said that. It was true, money was just a materal thing, she liked the little meaningful things. She loved those. Turning on her Ipod she placed it on the stereo system. Music filled the bathroom with a soft sweet melody, a classical sound. It was a soft classical piece of music.

Walking over to the shower she opened the glass door turning on the water. Shutting the door she let the water warm up. A few minutes later she felt the air around her warming she turned around and saw the steam rising and curling. Giving a smile she stripped out of her pajamas and opened the shower glass door. She closed the door behind her after she was completely inside. Eyes closed as the water began raining down from the shower head and as she felt the steam curling around her. Aurora was then lost, indulged in her thoughts, emotions, memories. They were about anything and everything at first but then went to everything that happened. Mainly though her thoughts focused on the life that was growing inside of her. It scared her half to death, she wasn't giving the baby up though or abortion. Never believed in them unless someone gets raped, even then for herself she wouldn't. She wondered if how people said she wouuld make a good mom was true, sh ehoped so. Her thoughts then went to Ryan, she had no clue why he was with her. She cared deeply for him but she was a four months pregnant seventeen year old and he was perfect. It never made sense to her. Sighing her eyes closed as she pushed the thougths out of her head.

Opening her eyes she tilted her head back, waking herself up some more. Grabbing her sponge she squirted some body was on it and began washing her body taking her time, amking sure she washed everywhere before washing it off. Taking her shampoo off of the shelf she poured some in her hand as well as a little in her hair. Placing it back on the shelf before she started washing her hair. Lathering her hairm washing it throughly for about ten minutes. After she leaned back a tiny bit and and began washign the shampoo out. Watching as it circled and swirled down the drain. She made sure she had throughly washed it out from her hair. Closing her eyes again she stood there for a few moments. The music that was playing was no longer the same song but still the same type. Classical soft sweet a lullaby with meaning. Classical music was one of her favorite types shockingly. Yes it was crazy and unexspected from someone who was so young as most people put it but it was the truth. Her top was Rock and Classical, great pair. Standing in the shower Cassandra turned off the water and watched as it swirled down the drain. Taking her towel from the towel rack she wrapped it around her body trying capture the warm. Grabbing her other towel she wrapped that around her head. Once she had the towels on she was ready to go but didn't really want to get out. Stepping out onto the soft plush carpet Rora turned the music down a bit and wiped away the steam on the mirror.

Smiling a small smile as she sighed contently because she was right then. As Aurora walked out of the bathroom and back into her room, to her bed. Pulling on a clear bra and panties she the stood in front of the walk in closet. she smiled biting down on her bottom lip. She was so glad to be out of her mother's house. All thanks to Demetrius, which she couldn't begen to thank him enough but he just brushed it off and hugged her. He said he was just glad she was around and he could keep an eye on her. Demetrius had promised to take care of her, he was very over protective. When he found out what happened he was angry with Justin for giving her the options he did. He said it was fine and he would have done the same, that he wasn't mad a t her. That was one reason why she never told him about Ryan yet, Hannah knew but he didn't. He would find out soon enough and go into overprotective, unbaring mode too. Rora was glad to have atleast one of her older brother back most of the time. It was indeed very comforting knowing that even though she was alone she always had atleast one person she knew that would always be there. Shaking her head she shook all of the thoughts that consumed her, always pulling her back into her mind. Smiling she found her Outfit for the day.

Backing up she turned swiftly and tossed the one towel, that had been wrapped around her body over the bathroom door. Aurora tugged at the towel around her head and it came falling. Beautiful long dark brown hair came tumbling down with it. Shaking her head it swooshed from side to side spreading out, not completely dry but not soaking we, just damp. Jotting down a quick note and taping it to the fridge, Rora grabbed her bag and everything and ran out. The note simply said that she had left and would be back later, and if Hannah would need anything to just give her a call or text her. Tilting her head back she let the sunlight rain down upon her, enjoing every moment of it loving it's warmth. Many things ran through her head as she walked down the packed sidewalk of the busy streets. It was so gorgeous out even though it was a bit on the hot side but then again it was Hollywood California. Unzipping the hoodie she smiled and smelt the collar. It smelt like Ryan, it was the one he gave her. She loved his smell, that might be weird but he had a smell and she loved it. Looking down at her feet she saw the bump. It wasn't very big yet but she was beginning to show. Biting her bottom lip she looked at her phone checking the time.

As Rora walked down the street she caught a wiff from one of the cafes and she lost all control. Then again she was up early and ate when she first got up. Giving in to the temptation she walked in and came out with a chocolate scone and a smoothie. It was just a snack because who knows what Ryan had in store for them today. Smiling to herself she sighed happily as she thought about him. Though in the back of her mind she was always worried that she would wake up and it would all be a dream. Well that or something similar, like him realizing he deserves so much better. She use to always nput herself down she is getting better but still. Then again what would someone exprct from someone else who was in a relatinship with someone who did it to them. Before she knew it she was at the park and the bench where they were suppose to meet at. Sitting down she gave a smile and bit into her scone, in the bag was Ryan's favorite drink and snack food from the cafe.

Though she got along with alot of people she tended to be quiet and kepted to herself. That never stopped her from helping other people though. She always helped other people, but kepted to herself no one knew about her past. Cassie was a Pureblood, her 'family' was rich, she always helped everyone else but herself, she was quiet unless with friends she really knew, and she kepted to herself. That was all people at Hogwarts knew about her, all she wanted them to know. Many people wondered why she was put in Hufflepuff and not in Gryffindor or Slytherin at first. But after time passed they saw why, it was because she helped everyone without caring, especially the first years. That was what made the sorting hat place her there, she was sitting there for about ten or twenty minutes as it decided. It kepted going between the two great houses before putting her in the netural territory of Hufflepuff.

Cassie was fine with that, either house she didn't really mind. Actually she had friends from all houses, one of the people who she got along with most who didn't know about her background was Pixie. She was actually from her rival house, that didn't matter. Yes she was very competitive but with Pixie she didn't care. The only ones who knew anything about her family other than her wealth was absolutely nothing. Everyone also knew she was top of the school, she had master things easily and was even in advanced classes. The school to her had nothing really to offer and she was quiet bored because she doesn't have a challenge. Cassie always went into the restricted section even in her first year, she had read just about everything and they were all simple to her. No challenge just bored was all she had here, what made it worse was that she ahd to wait another year before she could use magic without being watched. Things were really quiet boring for her.

Cassandra wanted, no needed to get away from the school. Though it was still early people were already wishing her a happy birthday. October 31st, today she was sixteen. Chewing on her bottom lip nervously she looked around her room, a sad sigh escaping her parted lips. Packing her things into a bag and putting food in a picnic basket she gathered everything up and snuck off. It wasn't like she had classes or anything it was mainly because students weren't allowed in the forest especially alone. That never stopped Cassie though, she found a small peace of heaven for herself there. Not to be expected but she did and she didn't care. Another reason why it was sneaking was so people would shut up about all the birthday crap. Sighing she glaced at the clock, an hour before lunch started, perfect. Pulling a black cloak around her, lifting her hood to hide her face she smirked. Casting a slight spell to make her invisible to everyone else she walked off the school grounds.

For little spells she had read in a restricted book once on how to block from people seeing. They wouldn't even know she casted the spell. Her wand well she wasn't really sure, it just..well it found her. That is what her parents said anyways, she would never lose it, it always found her. It had been like that since she was a baby, her parents said it just showed up a few days before she was born. Perfect match for her form the very beginning. Her parents always use to make jokes, they were loving people but would kill if they had to to protect her. As well as when her eldest little brother was alive and her youngest brother. Now that job fell upon her and she would do anything for him. One reason she also joined the death eaters last night, she had a feeling she needed to be out and followed that feeling. It lead her to the group but even then she stayed further up, following what she sensed. Cassie knew that it was a challegen and that just settled it for her when she chose.

The group last night was someone of a puzzlement to her. Well only Lucian, he acted like her older brother, she loathed it so much. He use to be friends with her older brother when he was alive, from that when he died he must of thought he had to take that role. Most of the time she wanted to kill him for it, he wasn't her brother. Yes before everything happened they were very close and he was like her second brother but things changed. She changed. But who else puzzled her was Pixie, she didn't know why exactly but she didn't mind. She would have her back and she would tell her that. She had already sent a note to her. Andrew was there, he wasn't much of a surprise she did wonder why he joined though. Another thing about him was that, well she kinda had a crush on him. Not because everyother girl did, definately not for the same reasons that was definate. It was just something about him drew her to him. His personality, just everything really it confused and scared her somewhat. Though no one knows, she is thinking about telling Pixie though.

Soon enough she was at her little heaven spot and smiled. In the forest back a ways was a small meadow type with a waterfall and stream, flowers, and even a swing hanging from on of the trees over the lake. Cassie even found a small cabin like house there, from that she could tell people haven't been there in atleast ten years. Now it was hers and she kepted everything nice, she enjoyed it. There is where she found Shadow, a wolf pup that was the runt and from the looks of it, his parents were killed. She had taken him, she did clear it with the head master thought. So far only Hannah and her other animals knew about the pup. Setting the stuff down on the marble bench two furry heads popped out from her bag. Jumping slightly she frown at the two animals. One was shadow, they other nightmare her black kitten. Shaking her head she smiled slightly and placed them down after telling them to stay in the meadow. Placing the blanket down on the ground in the center of the meadow of flowers she closed her eyes.

Sunlight streamed down from the sky and the heat was pulled to her. Cassie tugged down the zipper of her hoodie making her more comfortable. Using her right arm as a pillow she turned on her side and closed her eyes. The feeling of two furry things crawling up and snuggling again her tummy made her smile. Now fully relaxed her eyes closed allowing herself to drift. Her mind was hectic but soon nothing matter, everything faded and she fell asleep. With nightmare and shadow curled up against her stomach in her hoodie, hidden by the way it fell they worry left her. That is what allowed her to fall asleep not worrying. Though an hour or so she started to wake up a bit as she heard someone call out someone else's name. It was luntime, and people were roaming and talking excitedly about the ball. Cassie didn't focus on the noise not thinking someone would travel into the forest, as she went back to a peaceful sleep. If someone did come in she was facing the direction they would have to come. Danger came she would know, she somehow did alot.

Aurora jumped slightly when she felt the tap on her shoulder. Immedately from the voice and how she felt/knew it was him by the comfort that had suddenly surrounded her. Ryan was so close to her that she could actually smell the minty cool from his breath, which caused her to smile. Turning slightly with a blush she kissed his lips lightly for a moment, then pulled away. Once she stood up she handed him the bag with his favorite snack and drink from the cafe she had stopped at. She leaned into his arm, the smile that was on her lips never faultered or faded. When their eyes met her cheeks flooded with warmth and color, causing her to look down at her feet. Whenever Rora was around Ryan she couldn't help but get a bit nervous, she was the first person she really cared about. That must sound horrible coming out of her lips because she pregnant but it's true and her being pregnant wasn't her fault and she never wanted the sex in the first place.

Nathaniel had picked her up one night for their date, after they ate she found out that they were going to go to a party. Aurora hadn't really wanted to go but he convinced her, so when she had agreed they left. The party was just like everyother highschool party, it was more to celebrate being a senior. When school was in she was a senior, though she was the youngest one to graduate with them she was one of the smartest as well. There was beer and other alcohol there but like always she didn't want any. Nathan had been giving and getting her drinks, though they tasted a little funny she knew it was from the nonalcoholic punch. Rora was wrong, there was not only alcohol but a bit of this party drug in there as well. Her head was so foggy she wanted to lie down so she found an empty room. That was when he came in, she didn't want to but he did and what he wanted he got by force. Too groggy to really put up as much as a fight she could have, it happened.

So after Nathan forced himself on her she kneed him and dressed quickly and rushed out before he recovered. Calling her older brother Demetrius to come and get her. She was crying ever since she left the room and she finally told him what happened only after he promised not to do anything. Told him it wouldn't do her or Hannah any good if he was in jail. Hannah was there for her through it all do was Demii but Hannah was not only a girl but she could kinda relate. They grew insperable after that. Nathanial tried to apologize but no one would have it and he never even made it near her because of her brother and sister-in-law. Month after she was late so she got a test, positive. Rora cried for the whole day, she told her mother didn't care and wanted her and Nathan to stay. To her mom he was perfect but really he wasn't. She met Ryan that month and they had started going out, he made her forget sometimes. Not that she was pregnant but the pain, saddness from how it happened and everything.

Nathaniel still says that Aurora is his but he just can't accept the fact she isn't. Truth be told she was afraid to tell Ryan. She didn't want to lose him, she has come to terms that she is falling if not already in love with him over these four and a half months. So bad she wanted and wants to tell him but everytime she tries she loses her chance or her courage. Being snapped back into reality when Ryan began talking. One Night Call? That's when it came back to her, movie night was today. Nodding she gave a brave smile, she actually wasn't sure if she was or not. Usually Rora could handle scary movies but this was the scariest of the year and has even been considered to be scarier than last years movies as well. Biting her bottom lip nervously she stood, wrapping her arms around his waist and leaned into him as they walked. Once at the theater they got their tickets and walked inside. After getting their drinks and everything they went in and watched the movie.

Two hours later and One Night Call had finally ended. Halfway through the movie Rora had to close her eyes at the one part. Wasn't that she couldn't handle it but because she felt a headache coming on from all the screaming. No not the screaming on the screen but from the girls in the seats. The movie was scary she would admit it, scared her enough at some parts that she had to squeeze Ryan or turn her head to his shoulder. The worst part was when she was coming back from getting them drinks. Just as she put them done something grabbed her ankles and she jumped and clung to Ryan, she was in her lap. It was just a girl crawling her way out, and because of that she was blushing like mad. The movie was good and now they were walking down to the resturant to get something to eat, it was already eight o'clock. As they arrived they placed their order and went outside to find a table. That was when things went from good to bad.

Aurora gasped slightly as Nathaniel walked up to her and Ryan with fire in his eyes. That was never good, a pissed off Nathan was very very bad. As soon as he walked up to them he slapped her across the face causing her to stumble back. The only thing she was thankful for was that no one was outside with them. "What the hell do you think your doing Aurora! You are mine! Come here now you little b***h." He growled at her and glared at the guy. Getting her backbone she shook her head. "No Nathaniel. I told you five months ago that we were done. I was sick of the way you treated me and sick of your forcing me into this!" She yelled back at him and that caused the anger in his eyes to light up more. "I could and still can do whatever the ******** I please with you Aurora. You are mine! As well as that baby growing inside you! Now stop disobeying!" Her growled yelling again and smacked her. Falling to the group, tears rolled down her cheeks as she cupped the cheek his smacked twice.

"Get away from here Nathan before I call I kill you." Alex threatened and went towards her but stopped and texted her brother and Hannah. Nathan hopped into his car and sped away cursing. He considered her family too, her older brother was his best friend. Getting up she faced Ryan, looking at him for a moment she then looked down, hair hiding her face. "I'm sorry." She whispered softly tears still running down her cheeks, with that she turned and ran. Everything had gotten so messed up. Aurora could see being with Ryan for her life but this had messed it up. No, who was she kidding never would have happened anyways, she was pregnant. He hated her she just knew it, though he didn't know why or how it happen he probably hated her. That is what she thought.

[T o x ii c P o i s o n]

Groaning loudly the raven haired boy turned over pulling the covers over his head, hiding from not only the sun but the noise. At first is wasn't that loud but after each sentence the annoyance grew to a louder tone. Clearing his mind he tried to block everything out and had been succedding for awhile, that was until he got pounced on. Flying up he pushed the lumps off him and slowly he breathing began to normal again. "What the hell, you know you aren't light heavy asses." Lucian grumbled and fell back trying to go back to sleep. "Not a chance buddy. Your going to sleep the whole day and probably the feast and dance away." His friend Christopher said laughing as he yanked and finally manage to pull him from the bed. Luke had been holding on to the bars but that didn't even work. "Fine!" He grumbled again unhappily as he mummbled about best friends being turned into bugs, squishing them, and then sending them to hell. As much as he loved his best friend he didn't want to wake up today.

Blanket still around him, Lucian stood up looking at Christopher. Well more like glaring at him. "Happy now?" Luke asked and when Chris shook his head he almost killed him. He had yanked the blanket form around him and smiled. "Now I am. Go get dressed, take a shower or whatever and hurry up." With that said the brunette left his friend standing there flabergasted. Grumbling he grabbed his things and scurried into the bathroom. Twenty minutes later he was out of the shower and dressed. His clothes were simple today, a pair of black jeans, white studded belt, and a crimson slim fit tee. Sneakers were just a plain black pair of DC, with a Tapout hoodie zipped up over his shirt. Once he was dressed he exited his room only to find a small box with a bow sitting on the table with his name on it. Opening it up he found out it was from Cassandra, what was inside made him smile. Though it was her birthday she gave him something, probably the others too. Then again it was Halloween, and every holiday she usually gets them all something. That's just Cassie.

Christopher wandered back in and smacked him on the back. "See that wasn't so bad now and you got your present too." He said grinning like crazy. Honestly it wasn't bad he just didn't want to get up. As his mind drifted to Cassandra he thought about what happened. He knew she didn't like him acting like her older brother and why he had some understanding but that wasn't going to stop him at all. What also shocked him was that when the death eaters asked if she wanted to join she was the first one to say yes. She hadn't even hesitated and that made him wonder. Chris snapped brought him back to the present as he began rambling and handing him some more things. It had a note on top, again it was from Cassie telling him to pass them out. Shrugging he decided to and began wandering around trying to find everyone. Having asked around he found where Pixie was at, with a grin on his lips he walked into the dorm and found her. "Hey Pixie. I just came by to drop this off to ya. It's from Cassandra, presents and such." He said placing the packages on the table in front of her. Inside on box was for her kitten the rest for her. The note on hers said 'Hope you like them, have fun, live in the moment.' It also told her that she realized she has a crush on Andrew. When them, Crystal, and Kaeleigh were shopping she had found things she really wanted but couldn't get. So in turn she got them for her as a present for Halloween.

"Oh and the other note that's on Gryffindor paper is from me. I have to go finish delievering these but I hope it's a yes." Lucian said grinning still as he left, knowing hse would be confused until he read his. His note asked if she would go to the dance with him tonight, be his date. As he left he looked down and saw that there was some also for Kaeleigh, Crystal, Kellen, and Andrew.. Lucian never liked Andrew and he had a feeling that Cassie liked him and that made his blood boil. Taking a deep breath he calmed himself down as he walked into the great hall. In there he spotted both Kellen and Kaeleigh. Walking up to Kaeleigh he smiled and gave her a hug. "Hey there blondie." He said jokingly as he placed the gifts in front of her. Again they were things she saw but couldn't get when they had been shopping, so again Cassie had gotten them and gave them to her as a present. She also had a note. "They are from Cassandra. I would stay and chat more but I have three other people to give stuff too. I will see you late blondie." He said ruffling her hair and left.

Coming up behind Kellen, Lucian grinned and smacked him on the back. He made sure not to make a sound as he came up behind him too. "Hey Kellen buddy, I have a delievery for you. You probably already know who just because you know her but from Cassie. Figures her giving out presents on her birthday, her 16th no less." He said with a laugh as he placed the presents down. She had gave him some of his favorite things, and things he had been wanting and some that he wanted but haven't came out yet. She got them and she even sketched some pictures for him. Cassie was a talented artist, she did anything and it looked professional. Giving Kellen his note it said the basic thanks, hope you like them and asked him to save her a dance. She had also signed it with x's and o's. The two were always close but as things happened she pulled away more and closed off but she never though he notice. "Oh and dude just go over to Kaeleigh say hi and everything then give her a red rose and ask her to the dance. Don't thing about it just do it and you will be fine. Plus I hear she likes you too. Now that is my adive for the day. I have to go finish being the delievery boy so catch ya later." With that he began asking around for Crystal to find where she was.

Lucian wandered around asking people for what seemed like to be forever when he finally ran into one of Crystal's friends. She said she was seen down by the hill that over looked the whole forest and everything. Thanking the girl he jogged off and went over there. He found her alright and someone else he really didn't like or want to be around. It wasn't that he had anything personal he just didn't liek how he treated people and such. Gritting his teeth he told hmiself to bear it for Cassie and everything. He also reminded himself that if he gave him his now he wouldn't ahve to see or talk to him later. Looking at Crystal she smiled again and walked up to the her and Andrew. "Hey Crystal, Andrew." Lucian said greeting them smile still on his face. "Here guys these are from Cassandra. I got delievery duty shoved on me." Luke said with another grin as he handed Andrew his and then Crystal hers. Again for Crystal it was things she wanted when they went shopping but couldn't get along with a note.

One thing was a necklace she saw from a jewlery shop window. It looked like it was made for her but she knew she couldn't get it, Cassie caught her looking at it and got it for her. Andrew's note was just a happy halloween hope you like the gifts and that. They didn't know each other really but she didn't want to leave him out of the group. Cassie got things for him that were a bit darker and forbidden that are hard to find and everything. "Later guys." Lucian said and jogged away and back to the great hall. Once there he sat down and chucked something at Kellen and then looked away whistling innocently. He was in a joking happy mood today now. Everyone probably wondered for the gift knowing ti was he rbirthday but the ones who also knew her which was mainly everyone but Andrew knew that was just a part of her personality. Nothing would change it either.

All Aurora could do was watch everything that happened. Everything was getting way out of hand and they both ignored what she said. What hurt was the Ryan wasn't or hadn't been listening and didn't hear what she said. Though she knew she had no right to feel hurt, after all she hurt him alot worse byt keeping all this from him. Nathaniel meant absolutely nothing to her. He was nothing but an abusive a*****e that she had made the worst mistake to even talk to him. He was the only thing in life she thought was a mistake which took alot. Usually she said the mistakes one made make a person, but not this one. Never this one, Nathaniel was one big mistake she never should have let into her life. As people started to gather round she watched in horror, she saw the one waiter dial a number and figured it must be 911. That she was thankful for, she had faith in Ryan but she still worried. Everything had happened so fast she was lost, it seemed time suddenly began to slow down and go back to normal when the ambulence got there.

Silent tears ran down her cheeks, but it looked like diamond crystal ran down her cheeks instead. She did not cry for Nathaniel but for herself, her baby, the love of her life Ryan. As she stood up she saw that he sat and walked over to him hesitantly, more terrified than any moment before in her life. That right there is saying something with all the s**t she has gone through all her life. Biting her bottom lip, she bit it so hard that it bled, though she didn't notice. Standing in front of him she was trembling. Aurora couldn't stop herself either, she looked at the ground as her eyes continued to shed diamond crystal tears. "R-ryan." She whispered softly as she raised her eyes just enough to look at him, hair falling around her face. This was what she had been terrified of, it all had come true today but it managed to be a lot worse than she ever dreamed. Now all she could do and would do was tell him the truth and how it all started.

She couldn't take anymore, she just couldn't. "Ryan you caught one side of the whole conversation! Yes I am pregnant and yeas I didn't tell you but I was terrified of losing you! Your far too good for me. I knew you weren't going to keep me for long anyways, I was just fooling myself but I couldn't help it. And as for who I love it isn't him, never was. It is YOU! I LOVE YOU RYAN TYLER, NO ONE ELSE, YOU!" Aurora yelled softly at Ryan, the tears were now pouring down her porcelain cheeks, streaking her down her face staining it with tears. "I didn't become pregnant because I wanted to, I didn't even want to have sex, I was forced and the baby is a result. I will not give up this child, it is not her/his fault. Nathaniel is at fault and I will not take it out on the baby, my baby. The baby is mine and never will be his!" She said the tears coming faster and harder.

Aurora couldn't see now, her eyesight was blind because of the tears. "You want to know how it all started, I will tell you what happened form the beginning. The reason why I never told you was because I was afraid. You make me more terrfied then I have ever been because I let you in, because I fell in love with you." Rora said softly looking at the pavement. "Short version is that Nathaniel convinced me to go to this pre-graduation celebration party. There was beer and other alcoholic drinks but I made sure to get from the non. Though after my second cup it began to taste funny so I stopped drinking it. Some a*****e spiked it with alcohol and some drug. I got myself a room upstairs to lay down so my head could clear but it just got worse. I could barely hold myself up let so I fell asleep, when I woke up Nathan was in the room." Rora stopped and turned her head, her tears coming down more furiously.

Taking a deep breath she got up the courage again and began speaking. As she did the memory played out in her head. "I was still groggy and out of it, he told me we are going to have sex. I said no, well he doesn't like no. And if you do he takes what he wants. The scars you noticed on my left rib cage was from him. Nathan was an abusive boyfriend, told me it was my fault I believed him. So he took it, the doctor said the trama of it snapped me out of the drug. When he was getting off I kicked him in groin got dressed quickly and ran like hell. Call my older brother he came and got me...." Aurora said and bit her lip again gathering more courage. "I found out the month after we met. I kepted my mouth shut because I was scared, I already told you that. But don't you ever and I mean ever Ryan think that I don't love you, that I ever loved that monster or that you aren't my world." With that she wiped at her eyes turned her back to him and began walking home. Rora knew he hated her and probably was disgusted but she couldn't have done anything and it isn't the baby's fault. She loved the baby already and never would give it up.

The seventeen year old girl chewed silently on the inside of her cheek, as she waited for her step-father to come down stairs. Trembling though not heavily enough for anyone to notice. Though my outside posture was calm with a bit of nervousness, inside I was a mess. My emotion were haywire but most of all terror was the first and most promenant emotion. In all honesty I was completely freaking out, I didn't know what was going to happen but I had a bad feeling about it. The sudden creaking of the stairs startled me, causing me to jump. Taking a deep to calm myself I closed her eyes, counting my step-father's steps until he reached me. "Hey sweetheart." He said giving me a kiss on top my head before sitting across from me. "Hi dad, well I-I..I have something to tell you." My soft voice solem as I stuttered. "What's wrong? Did something happen? Are you alright? Alison what's going on?" His deep voice was filled with worry and concern. "Dad calm down, nothing is wrong, well kind of but not in anyway that it is dangerous. Take a deep breath and nod when your good." I said, after a moment my step-father nodded.

Closing my eyes for a moment I took a deep breath before continuing. "Well you see, I-I well remember how, I didn't exactly." Stopping I took another deep breath, gathered all of my courage so I could just say it. "I'm pregnant." My voice was barely above a whisper, at first I wasn't even sure if he heard. "YOUR WHAT?!?!?!!!!" My step-father bellowed out loudly causing me to jump again. Before I even had a chance to open my mouth he cut me off. "I DON'T CARE!!! OUT!!! I WANT YOU GONE AND OUT OF MY LIFE BEFORE THIS GETS OUT. WHORE!!" He spat at me, dragging me up and pushing me out the back door. By the time he slammed it tears were pouring down my face, I knew he wasn't the greatest of people but usually he was alright. I never expected the reaction to be that bad. I ran off the property and went home crying my eyes out curled up on my bed. The day after I went to the father's house, my boyfriend. I told him and he was the same way. "Whore!" His words running through her mind again, your nothing special, just something to enjoy. I still can't believe that you believed me. Gave me something so precious to you. Ha!

Alison's eyes shot open and she flew up and looked around. Her frantic eyes adjusted then she remembered she wasn't seventeen anymore, that it had happened three years ago. A shakey breath escaped her parted lips, as she looked down a smile form on her lips. Eyes softening she ran her hand gently through, Alexander's sunkissed color hair and played a gently kiss on top his head. Carefully she slid out of her bed and slipped into her robe before walking out into the kitchen. It was five, and she started her daily routine. She turned the coffee maker on but only put some water in it for tea later. Once in the bathroom she turned the water on, waited for a few minutes then jumped in. Half an hour later she was wrapped in a towel when she peaked into her room, Alex was still fast asleep. Smiling to herself she dressed and quietly shut the door behind her. Sneaking aroun the house she tidied up a bit before resuming what she had originally set out to do. Walking into a light blue room another smile played across her lips, it was kinda a mess but only in the corner. Either way she didn't mind one bit, after all he was only three. Straightening up his room she then went to his dresser and started pulling some clothes out for him. Because today was still during the week she had to work, meaning he had to go to daycare. Though her boss was a very nice man, he honestly didn't mind if he was there as long as he didn't destroy anything.

Perfectly understandable, he never did so whenever the daycare couldn't or something she knew that she wouldn't have to worry. Half an hour later Alison had everything packed and ready to go for him. Well everything that he needed from his room anyways. Swinging both bags onto her shoulder she scurried out of Alexander's room and into the living room. Once she had set his bags on the chair she went to the computer area and kitchen table gathering all her things up. Allie's eyes widened when she didn't see her lifeline on the table. Panic quickly took over as she looked everywhere for it. Just as she was about to give up all hope she walked over and tugged her coat to get her ID and there it was, hanging on the loop. That's when she remembered doing that so thing like what just happened wouldn't anymore. Taking a calming breath she put everything of hers together and set it with Alexander's. The corner's of her mouth twisted up as she softly put on some music and slid into the kitchen, she began dancing and singing with the music as she prepared Alex's lunch, snacks, along with breakfast for the morning. Because Alexander was such a good boy she could give him some of the messiest things and he wouldn't make a mess like regular kids did. Not like that would have stopped her anyway but still, he was an angel.

Alison could hear Alexander starting to stir and decided she would be there when he woke up. Slipping back into the bedroom she walked over to her bed where he sat up and rubbed his eye tiredly, yawning. It was just about seven o'clock, she hadn't been planning on waking him up until everything was done but oh well. Once he saw she was there he flung himself into her arms yelling, mommy. Smiling back at him she kissed his head as she held him. "Hey sweetie. Mommy is cooking breakfast so brush your teeth and get dressed and come out, okay?" She said softly as she held him. He nodded eagerly and was off once she set him down. Sauntering back into the kitchen, the smile still on her lips. Whenever he was around her he smiled and she couldn't help but smile, he son was the world to her. If anything happened to him she would die, literally. Maybe not right away but she knew she would, her son was the most important in the world to her, nothing would ever or could ever change that. Allie couldn't stand mothers, fathers, or both treating a child like nothing, making themselves come first instead of their baby. Alison herself was prochoice, personally though she was against abortion. The only exception to that is rape to her, but even then for herself she wouldn't be able to do it. In her eyes it's still killing a baby and no matter what the child would still be apart of her. She would never take out what some a*****e did to her out on the unborn baby.

Twirling and shaking about all across the kitchen she suddenly just stopped. Alison's ears heard Alexander's small feet padding across the floor anf towards her. Looking in the hallway she saw him and it was so adorable, there he was with his shirt kinda on and it was backwards and his pants to his ankles. "Awww sweetie hold on let me help. But good try, you got your pants on and almost your shirt. My big boy!" She said praising him softly as she pulled up his jeans and switched his shirt around right and pulled it on him. Her was in a pair of medium blue jeans, a tank, and a short-sleeve jersey that had the flyers on it. Lifting him up and setting him on the chair she put on hs socks and his nike sneakers. Giving him a kiss on the nose, turning the t.v. on, she stood up and started to head back to the kitchen. Though it wasn't long before she felt something hop on her leg and hold onto her for dear life. Looking down she was met with striking blue eyes and a heartbreaking face. "Oh alright, but only today." She said making a huge grin spread across the three year old's lips, then again she said that alot but it still happened.

Bending down Allison scooped him up into her arms as she walked into the kitchen. to finish making their breakfast. Switching him to one side she went back to cooking until she heard him giggle in happines. Alexander realized just then that his mother was making chocolate chip waffles and everything else she usually made when making them. Unable to help herself, Allie laughed as well her little boy could brighten up a room people said, just like his mother. People often told her she could brighten a room just by walking into it though she never believed that. Smiling she set him down in his booster seat making sure he was safe first before going back over to the counter to finish the breakfast. Aboust ten minutes later she placed a two plates in front of Alex along with a cup. One plate had his cut waffles and the second has some fruit and a little bit of whip cream on the side. In his cup he had some apple juice, his favorite that they had made together. Alex was practically bouncing in his seat because of how excited and happy he was. Shaking her head at him, though having a smile on her face she sat down next to him with her own breakfast and juice. Twenty minutes later everything was cleaned up and the two were headed out the door.

Locking up the place, they then went to the car and she buckled him in, making sure everything was perfect before shutting his door. Smile on her lips she opened the driver side door and placed the bags on the passanger side. She then slid in a CD of songs that held both rock and classical, the rock was soft and edited so it was save for Alex. It was actually one of his favorite CD's. Once she had everything settled, Allie finally got in the car buckled herself up and backed out of the driveway. Her eyes were always on the road and if not there they were glancing up into her rearview mirror checking on Alex. Allison soon began humming to the classical music that was playing. Ten minutes later they pulled up to Alexander's daycare, when she looked in the mirror she saw him scowling. Immediately she felt bad but there wasn't anything she could do, he liked the daycare but he didn't like being away from her. Usually she brought him with her, worked at home, or left him at Cassandra's house. Cassie though was out of town on vaction with her son and boyfriend, she would have brought him with but she is working on a really really big project right now and she was in meetings and everything. Working at home was only in case of emergencys such as being sick or something similar.

Alison closed her eyes and took a deep breath for courage and shut the car off. Grabbing his bags she hopped out and then got him out, smiling at him she kissed his forehead and nuzzeled her nose to his like they always did. She packed him a light hoodie but she doubted he would need it, after all it was only seven thirty and it was already hot. New York City in the summer was hot, warm in the morning too always been. "Cheer up sweetie, you will get to see Thomas, Dokota, Derek, and all your other friends. I will be picking you up before you know it. Okay?" She half asked and half said with a small smile as she carried him up the walk way. "Kay." He said sadly while nodding smally, it broke her heart. Soon as she reached the door she pressed her hand against the pad and once it confirmed it was her she punched in her code. Everything finalized and the door unlocked, she walked in smiled at the lady behind the desk before walking him back to his classroom/area. "Love you m-mommy." He said kissing her before she placed him down next to Derek.

"Love you too, be good and have fun." She said giving him a kiss, placing his stuff in his slot and then left, heading for work. Glancing at the clock she saw she had enough time and stopped at starbucks picking up a few things. Seven forty-five and she was standing in the elevator tapping her foot on the floor. She was in a black designer dress that Cassie gave her last week for it being her thrid anniversary for working with the newspapwe and everything. The bell singaled and the doors opened, walking down the hall she smiled and placed a bag and coffee on Jasper's desk in his office, his favorite. He though was no where in sight. After that she took her things and went into her office, her almost right across from his, she began setting everything up and getting ready. Technically most people didn't have anything beginning until nine or so. She turned on the radio to a rock station as she did so.

Aℓιsσи ------ N ι c σ ℓ ε т т ε ------ Tнσмρsσи

After she had everything set up and in place she began working. Once she had gotten into her office she stayed there, not moving from her desk. Typing furiously, as she worked on some of the deals New York Times was going over today with a firm in Japan. Though she wasn't that high up yet people told her that she was going to be there very soon. Hell even the owner and bosses told her that. Though she had one person to thank for that, that is her baby boy Alexander. If it wasn't for him she wouldn't be here today probably, would work so hard. He was her whole life and she would do anything to support him, that just added fuel to her fire, naturally she was a determind, hard worker but having to care for someone else made her push even more. If it wasn't the best it wasn't good enough, not all the time but for work it was. Allison wanted to earn the money and do it right, just so Alexander could have a great life, though so far they did she just wanted to have back ups to fall on just in case of emergancys and such. Though before she was carefree and everything that all changed, yes she was still the same person but she had a son to think about and not just herself. Ever since she had been pregnant she realized that and took it seriously, though she still knew how to have fun, she was more determind now than ever. She wanted to give Alexander everything she didn't have in her life, she felt bad sometimes because he just had her but she couldn't really do anythign about that.

In all honesty she hadn't ever heard her office door open, that's how concentrated she was in her work. So when she heard the masculin voice it caused her to jump slightly. Jasper's tone was so serious she thought she might have done something wrong, though she wasn't under him and was on the same team it still worried her. Looking up from her computer she placed her flashdrive in safed the file to there and her computer before standing. "Yes of course Jasper." Allison said, her voice holding it's buisness/professional tone. She folled him to his office and then inside, doing as he asked, shutting the door. Before she could say anything she saw that cheeky a** grin on his face. Fluster she took his football and chucked it at him. It wasn't an actual football but one of the small soft kind. "That is sooo not funny Jasper, I thought the boss was going to have you fire me or that I was in trouble!" Alice exclaimed and chucked another one, this time hitting him dead on in his face. Huffing softly though she was unable to hide the corner of her lips turning up into a smile. His statement caused her to laugh softly. "My pleasure. Honestly it's not that hard and being a mother is a wonderful job, especially with Alexander. Plus I care about you too and knowing you, you wouldn't eat breakfast or right if I didn't. I really don't mind and actually like taking care of you guys." She said sheepishly with a smile. When he sat she did the same sitting on the chair that moved, after all it was her favorite and HER chair.

When Jasper mention Alexander her heart melted. He got along with him amazingly which was a surprise, Alexander was usually picky about people but Alex loved Jasper. Alison's semi-unkown feelings for Jasper grew right then. Looking up at him she smiled her eyes warm and sincer along with her voice. "Jasper, thank you. He wanted to come but it was daycare day since Cassie isn't here." She honestly cared for him more than he probably knew, it was shocking. What made the whole situation better and worse was that he loved her son and her son loved him too. His nexk statement made her burst out in a soft sweet laughter and causing her to shake her head. "That just figures, and I don't know if I should." Allie teased smiling but nodded anyways. "Yes, yes I will help you out. Your quiet lucky today is today. It's actually pretty simple, meeting are what's going on for most of the day. All you have to do is make sure the documents you are in charge of are already. Which they are, I did them last night and finished them up this morning to help you out. Then all you have to do is show up and sit and look pretty. Though the pretty part might be hard to accomplish." She teased him again with another warm smile spreading across her lips. "Now if you excuse me Mr. Jones I have to do some last mintue touch ups." Her tone was light and filled with warmth and some sarcasm.

With that said Allison gave Jasper one last smile before walking out and back into her office. Sitting down once she was inside and continued on with her work. Approximently fifteen twenty minutes later she had her first meeting. Time seemed to pass by rather quickly seeing as it was already ten o'clock. Just then her phone went off, it was her emergency line. Excusing herself she stepped outside and answered, almost immedately she fell to her knees, though she caught herself right before. Tears were brimming her eyes in a matter of seconds of answering the phone. Once she hung up she walked back in, walked over to Mr. Hampton and explained everything in a hush whisper to his ear. His eyes widened and nodded her off. Apologizing she flew out of the confrence room, tears already running silently down her cheeks as she left the office. Ten minutes later after speeding to the hospital she rushed in and saw Tina demanding to know everything as she walked to her son's room. She was absolutely livid and was going to continue to chew her a** out until she hit the room, once inside she slammed it on her face. Allison couldn't believe how careless Tina was until the doctor told her that she was that they tested her and her results showed she was not only high but buzzed as well. All she saw was red. The doctor told her that Alexander was fine but had a few bumps and bruises along with a small lung issue. Though she got perscriptions and such but other than that he was fine and would be out in a few. All the while she was laying in the bed, her son in her arms.

By the time she got back to the office it was noon exactly. After Alex was discharged from the hospital she got everything from Tina's place. Made a quick run home to get a few things and then went to the drug store to get everything Alexander needed. She couldn't believe Tina got like that with the kids around. In turn her son had gotten hurt. Tina explained what she knew but it wasn't good enough. She let the kids play and wander outside alone, and he had gotten on the play castle in the backyard which had been moved next to the pool because of cleaning and hadn't been moved back yet. When he was on top standing getting ready to slide the people came out and started to dance and knocked the play castle in the water and well he went with it, getting hit not only with that but hit the pool floor and even a person, the pool was deep as well and Alex could swim but with floatys only so far even though he was learning to without them, it was far too deep. Getting out herself and her son out of her car she went to the trunk and got everything else. Locking the car she went back up and began setting everything up in her office, she hadn't let go of her son yet. Her boss of course came in and told her she didn't have too but was glad everything was alright. Alexander was over all okay, he was taking it like a champ and even when he was honest and said he was fine and it only hurt a bit he was truly honest. After setting everything up, Mr. Hampton told her to go to the bathroom and get a drink to calm down while he stayed with Alex. Nodding Allison walked out telling him she would be back in a minute. Once in the break room she start to shake as she got a drink but when broke down in the process, tearing running down her cheeks, trembling as she sobbed silently.

[T o x ii c P o i s o n]

"Come for a walk with me." Edward had suggested taking my hand. His voice unemotional. We walked into the forest a little ways, just carely on the trail, I could still see my house."Were leaving." A million things had ran through my mind. "Why not another year?" I asked softly. "It's time." Was all the reply I got. "When you say we you doint mean me included." I said in a small voice. He nodded. "My world isn't for you." I cut him off before he could finish. "This is about my party, what happened with Jasper isn't it?! That was nothing Edward! Nothing! It was an accident and it doesn't matter, do you hear me? DOESN'T MATTER!" I yelled shaking my head at him, I could feel the stinging in my eyes. Then he said the words that destroyed and shattered my soul. "Bella I don't want you to come with me." Edward said, speaking slow and precisely. I puased and tried to find my voice. "You . . . . don't . . . . . . . want . . . . . . me?" I whispered out confused by everything. "No." Was all he said. "Please don't, please don't do this." My voice was barely a whisper now. "Your not good for me, Bella." Inside I scoffed, I knew I wasn't good enough for him, how well did I know that. All I could do was nod. He kiss my forehead lightly and then turned away, running. I tried to follow so badly I did but could, got lost and fell onto the forest floor. I couldn't move, not even if I wanted to, even if I tried I couldn't. I was frozen, paralyzed. I was broken. Crying his words running though my mind over and over perfectly clear. "I don't want you."

Isabella shot up out of bed, eyes fantic, terror could be seen clearly in them. Sweat graced her pale forehead as she searched around and that's when it hit her. 'It's just a dream...' With that she shook her head correcting herself, 'No it's just a memory'. Calming her ragged breathing her eyes found the clock it read 7:45. Eyes closed she took a deep breath as she realized she slepted for two days, but then again having insomnia did that to her. Though Bella was shocked it was just two days with how she had been feeling and everything. She swung off the covers and swung herself so her feet were dangling off the side of the monsterous bed. It was a king sized bed that she had to jump up a bit because of the heighth. But she loved it and she had plenty of space and then some. Bella's right hand ran through her hair as the other rested on her cheek. Sighing she looked down at the cold uninviting floor beneath her and wrinkled her nose a bit. Sliding down off the bed, she grabing a few things as she walked into her bathroom. Sighing softly as she shut the door, she let herself lean against it as she did. Her eyes sliding shut, trying to push everything out.

Placing her head against the door staying there for a moment. Pushing away from the door she placed her ipod and her Ipod speakers on the back of the toliet. Hanging up her towel on the metal towel rack after. Turning on her Ipod she placed it on the stereo system. Music filled the bathroom with a soft sweet melody, a classical sound. It was a soft classical piece of music. Walking over to the shower she opened the glass door turning on the water. Shutting the door she let the water warm up. Closing her eyes she stood infront of the mirror. Opening them slowly she gave a half hearted smile. That still didn't take the haunting out of her eyes and the sadness from her expression. Isabella shook her head looking at herself in the mirror. She refused to be that little girl that she was a year ago. She absolutely refused. Bella had matured since that time, yes she was a zombie at first but she was knocked out of that. Especially when Charlie died, that pushed her back into it for about two days before Jacob came over and screamed at her, snapping her out of it when he said what would your dad think now. Her dad hated when she was like that, so she decided not to be, she decided to make him proud.

Steam curled in the air, the temperature rose, she walked over to the shower stripped and went in. Fifteen minutes later and she walked out getting dressed. Bella mature quiet alot since the Cullens left and her father died. Though she still struggled she got through it, could be alone now. That was all thakns to one person, well many but mainly one. That was her best friend Jacob Black, he was there with her through everything, so was the pack. Not only had her mind matured but so did her body, she was a gorgeous young women, even her balanced improved slightly. She even could wear heels, which she was doing today. Making her way out into the front room she grabbed her bag, keys, and anythign else she thought she might need before leaving. Walking out she locked up her cut little cottege like mini home. Getting into her 4x4 she quickly started the engine before taking off.

Twenty minutes later she was parking in the parking lot of the local Starbucks. She stayed in Washington, not only because Jacob and the pack wanted her too but she did as well. Slipping out of her monsterous truck she set the alarm and walked in. Glacing at the newspaper she saw the fornt page was of an accident. Shuddering Isabella looked away, she for a moment recalled how her mother and Phil died a few months back. They were driving on the highway and something went wrong, a tracker-trailer lost control or something and well the result was a twenty car pile up. One of those cars just so happened to be her mother's and Phil's. Taking a deep breath she placed her Ipod in her ears and grabbed a few books she needed before walking into the cafe part of the Starbucks. God knows without that she wouldn't be able to function, she needed it, it kepted her alive when she really needed it. Plus it never failed her, never let her down.

Ordering she made it to go, when she got it she began eating when she looked at the clock. A colorful string of vocabulary escaped in her mind as she rushed out the door only stumbling once. She was going to be late for her first class of the first semster. Great, just great. As she drove she grabbed her phone and began writing a message.

Jake jake jakey jake.
Heyyy wolfy.
Sorry for not getting back.
Was wiped and sleeped the last two days.
Running late for class.
Call you later.
Love you.
Bells.

After sending the text message and cursed out load in the privacy of her truck she turned down an ally taking a short cut. Isabella arrived at the school in record time. Grabbing her back, and drink she slipped out of the truck. Alarm on she fasted walked to her first class of the day… History of the American Civil War. Rushing she finally arrived and opened the doors quietly. Bella was walking down the way to find a seat when the doors banged shut. A few students turned to looks, blushing she tripped slightly. Wishing to be invisible, she made her way without looking around to the fourth to last row in the back. Bella had a strange feeling and couldn't shake it for some reason. Finally giving in her eyes darted around the room, scanning it when they finally landed on a person she never thought she would see again. Quickly turning away, panic over took her along with a bit of fear, confusion and a whole hell of a lot of other emotions. It wasn't that she was scared of that man personally it was the possibility of who was with him. Class went by agonizingly slow, as soon as it was over she rose quickly to her feet and gathered her belongings and tried to slip out of there unnoticed, though she had a feeling it wasn't possible. Closing her eyes she walked to the back door. Shock and astonishment was clear as day for her main emotions, she honestly couldn't believe Jasper was in her class. She hadn't seen nor heard from the Cullens in a year and she sure as hell tried not to think about them.

[T o x ii c P o i s o n]

“When you say we-,” I whispered. “I mean my family and myself.” Each word separate and distinct. “Okay,“ I said, “I’ll come with you.” “You can’t Bella. Where we’re going… It’s not the right place for you.” “Where you are is the right place for me.” “I’m no good for you, Bella.” “Don’t be ridiculous.” I wanted to sound angry, but it just sounded like begging. “You’re the very best part of my life.” “My world is not for you.” He said grimly. “What happened with Jasper - that was nothing, Edward! Nothing!” “You’re right,” He agreed. “It was exactly what was to be expected.” “You promised! In Phoenix, you promised that you would stay -” “As long as that was best for you,” He interrupted to correct me. “No. This is about my soul, isn’t it?” I shouted, furious. “Carlisle told me about that, and I don’t care, Edward. I don’t care! You can have my soul. I don’t want it without you - it’s your already!” “Bella, I don’t want you to come with me.” “You… don’t… want me?”
"Hello?" "Hi this is the hospital of Port Angeles, I am sorry to say miss. Swan your father has died." The voice said phone slipped...

This was the same nightmare I’d been having since the time he, they left. Christmas and New Year's Eve is coming soon - but I had nothing to celebrate. My father, Charlie Swan, Chief or Police in Forks Washington, died in action on 14th November, last month. Armed robbery at a store in Port Angeles. Shot multiple times, bleed out. I was completely alone. Renee and Phil hadn’t been in contact since Charlie’s funeral, three weeks ago, leaving me alone, utterly alone. My fathers former best friend, Billy Black, offered me to live with him and his son, Jacob, down in La Push. I refused - I was numb. I was broken. I was alone. Why would anyone want to be around that. Ever since my eighteenth birthday my life went rapidly down hill. After Charlie died, I woke up from my zombie state. I turned all my pain and sadness into anger, anger towards my lost love, Edward Cullen. I was pissed, all Charlie got to see was a zombie me, one who slowly began getting fixed, but not completely because he was killed. A man who condemned himself as a soulless monster - now I understood what he had meant. He tore my family away from me, none of them even saying goodbye to me before they left. Just as he said, “It will be as if I never existed.” My mother hadn’t offered me to live with her once Charlie died, and I didn’t ask. Charlie’s money and estate was now mine, I sold the house, leaving me homeless, but I had a plan. The same night Edward left me, he told me of the rulers of his world, the three kings who ruled in Volterra, Italy. That was where I was going, to end this life either way - they could drink from my body or turn me into the same soulless monster as my former family.

What I do know is I’m no longer the fragile, breakable Bella they once knew. I am a fighter and a heartless b***h. I broke the night they left and completely died when my father did. I only hope that I may meet them again to show them what they created, for it may not be a Cullen who turns or kills me - but they are the ones who made me who I am today. Isabella Marie Swan - not so innocent anymore. I had made it to the airport, after giving my old truck back to it’s former owner down in La Push having no need for it anymore. I was a high school drop out, though finishing on-line, told Billy I was going to spend my days travelling the world, with nothing left to live for, he was uncertain at first, but he finally accepted and wished me luck with my future. All I do is exist and that isn't enough to live for, myself, never. So here I am, in a cramped plane heading for Italy, Volterra to meet my match against the Volturi. My only recognition towards them is from the painting in Carlisle’s office when I first stepped into the Cullen household. Three beautiful men, rules, kings of the vampiric, immortal world. I would obey just the same - I wasn’t above anyone, I would always be the lesser man or the equal. Though to those who are high than me always lesser, mostly equal. But for the Cullens, nothing but a heartless b***h I hope they would come to know. Cause I would love to rip out there heart and break them, just like they did me.

Three hours after my body went numb from the extended flight, we were touching down, another four hour drive to the castle which holds the Volturi guard and kings. My heart pumped slightly faster, my breathing turning to shallow pants, sweat caressed my clammy skin, I was only now realising what I may be giving up. I had friends, although I had lost most over the months. I had people who still cared about me, the Blacks loved me as family, the pack and I was abandoning it all. Why not be selfish, this is my life, I will refuse to live it as another see’s fit. I absolutely refuse. This is my choice, and as we finally approached the city walls, darkness began to fall. I walked through an arch in the tall, thick stone wall that surrounded the city to follow a cobbled path, twisting through different lanes passing streets of tall, Spanish/Victorian looking houses, which I thought was odd for it being Italy? But they were quaint, all painted in strong yellows and pinks, occasionally white and brown houses stood out, washing lines connected the houses on different sides together above my head, plant pots were on the windows with wooden, slide panel shutters. It looked traditional, old, unchanged. I stopped when I came to a court card, emptied. It was rather haunting, with a fountain in the centre the water trickling was the only sound, an eire sound.

I sighed it was so tranquil, but in the same moment behind the fountain I noticed a woman, a beautiful woman, one that would put Rosalie to shame. She wore a short black mini skirt with black tights, a low cut top in crimson, stiletto heels and a long black robe with a hood pulled over to her hair line, but revealing golden curls either side of her face, her eyes attracted me mostly, blood red. Perfect. My outfit was simple with all I had left caring for, well the jewlery anyway. "What do we have here?" The women purred softly, "Why is such a pretty little thing doing out here, all alone?" Alone. That was right, I was alone nothing to live for any longer, selfishly looking for her. "Well I am here looking for you actually, take me to the Volturi." I said without hesitation and the girl just stood there looking shocked. She recovered after a few minutes and asked why. "I fell in love with a vampire, Edward Cullen. He broken my heart, broke me. Last month my father died, and my mother doesn't care one way or another. I..I cannot live when I have nothing to live for, cannot live while all I do is exist." I said and she nodded. On the way the two of us talked and in the short amount of time since we met I could see her as a sister and she me. We both told each other this and smiled.

As the two of us walked we shared many things about ourselves, our past, and much more. I knew if they killed me I would miss not getting a chance to know her better, to experience alot. Though anything else didn't phase me, would phase me. Yes of course I do miss those few people I still care about but it wasn't enough. Half an hour time we arrived in front of this emormase building. I had a feeling that Heidi prolonged at how fast we got there, I could tell. When I said something about she just smiled sheepishly. I gave her a hug, which she returned and we both continued talking, before we entered she told me that she wished they would turn me. I told her I hoped so too. Once inside the building a few people looked at me, staring. Of course it didn't bother me, not as much as it might have before. Heidi told me to wait in the lobby while she went in. I met a vampire named Demetri and then another named Felix. They were both very nice, Felix reminded me of a big kid, sorta like Emmett. Heidi came back out and nodded, she took hold of my hand. "Aro, they will see you now." She whispered to me while I nodded.

Walking through the doors I smiled at the three before looking at the kings on the vampire world. Though one particular, I felt a pull to, no clue why but I chose to ignore it. When one asked why/what I wanted, the one I could guess as Aro from what Hedie told me. "I would like to be changed and if not than I will offer myself as dinner. Because I cannot live in a world where all I do is exist." Is the only thing I said, and gave Heidi's hand a squeeze back, telling her not to worry about either outcome, that I would be find which ever they chose for me. It was after all my choice. Aro came closer I offered my hand but her was stund and furious at first when he couldn't read me. I told some of my story, not all but most, including the part of how I was immued to powers that messed with my mind. Once that was said Aro turned and left, returning to his brothers for what I guessed as to decided.

[T o x ii c P o i s o n]

I stood silently next to Heidi giving her hand the reassuring squeezes that made her give me a small smile. I could tell she was nervous and I was hoping that she would be the one to change me, well if they choose to change me into a vampire. I whispered so low I knew that only she could hear me dispite it being a room full of vampire. "Don't worry about me Hedi, no matter waht we will always be sister, best friends. Just don't worry. Smile for me." I could feel that she wanted for me so bad to be changed and knew that if I wasn't she would be heartbroken for losing me when we only just found each other. The same would be for me, well if I could if I died. But I didn't want her to dwell on the bad things, I want people to smile, especially her. I want her to smile and be carefree and everything else. Vampire, so what, who cares as long as she is having fun, being herself so what. That is all I truly wish for if they do decide to eat me. "If they don't then I want you to eat me." I said with a smile, that caused her to smile somewhat but atleast it was a bit of a smile. The one man made me forget about everything, even if for a little. I knew immediately that it was one of Aro's brothers but still. I felt an odd pull towards him, it scared me though I didn't let that show or even notice.

It made me wonder at the same time it scares me, I have no clue what it means but I have a slight guess. I have a feeling it's something to do with soulmates but I cannot say for sure. That is just a guess though deep down I had a feeling it was true, I didn't like it one bit. I was hurt before and wouldn't be again, he probably doesn't even notice me really. After all I am hardly good enough. Shaking my head slightly as to clear it, I gave Heidi a small smile to her curious glance mouthing to her it was nothing, that I was merly just thinking. Bring my eyes away from her, they drifted back to the God in front of me. He was gorgeous, of course vampires are, but I am thinking in a totally different way, even if human. He had dark hair, from the distance of what I could see I would say raven. Not the regulare kind but the midnight black like that of the night sky, perfect, gorgeous. His eyes I guess would be a in regular color a midnight, just like his locks of hair. His age looked to be in his twenties, I would guess mid-twenties. His bone structure was amazing, even for a vampire. Yes vampires were perfect or as close to perfection as anyone or thing could get but he was purely a God. His structure, posture, everything about the man simply pulsed strong, intelligent, masculinity pure masculinity.

Cursing silently to myself I snapped myself out of it, ignoring that weird pull completely. Watching the exchange between the brothers I straightened a bit when Aro spoke. One could feel the happiness and pure relief radiating off Heidi, giving her a smile and squeeze I nodded at Aro. I was ready for this, well as ready as I could ever be. Though I was slightly disappointed and so was Heidi, she wanted to change me and I was hoping she would as well. Now I had to be tortured by having him do it. Though I found that the brother I was pulled to was Marcus. Silently in the peace of my mind I was swearing enough to make a pirate seem like a saint. No no no no no no no! I will not be reduced to this, I wont let this affect me at all. I can't and wont. I absolutely refuse! I fumed silently in my mind to myself. I nibbled on the inside of my cheek reviewing the time Heidi and I spent talking before we had arrived to Volturi. She wondered and was curious just as I would admit that I was curious about powers as well. Wondering if I would have a gift or gifts like some vampires do, a talent or something or be just like Heidi and a few others and be have nothing. Well each 'regular' vampire had something unquie about them so either way. I had a feeling that like in the mortal world I would be a freak. Like my power would be clumsiness or something of the sort.

I was snapped back into reality, like a rubber band that had finally been let go after being pulled back as far as it could go without breaking, by Aro's voice. I shook my head gently, my soft laughter escaping my lips. "Not at all Sir. Better to put things first instead of being sidetracked in the future. Now is no better time." My voice was soft and I realized I was looking anywhere but at Marcus. I was scolding myself again silently for letting myself get so affected by all of well whatever it possibly was. I didn't want to be bothered by it and once again refused to let it. As everyone left Heidi was the only one left in the room other than myself and Marcus. When Marcus told Heidi to leave she hesitated but I nodded my head slightly. Mouthing that I would be fine and there was nothing to worry about. That obviously he had done this before. Though she still was hesitant she knew she had no other choice. So with that she squeezed my hand, bowed and then departed from the room. I watched as she left, then turned my attention to the obvious hungry vampire. Studing his every move, analyzing. I couldn't help but blink when he spoke my name, his whole...deminor changed with just the two of us left. It made me curious but I quickly clamped that feeling down.

I had to repress a shiver, which was a very hard thing to do. Blinking I couldn't help but laugh a little. It was a light carefree laugh that was purely natural. Covering my mouth with my hand I tried to stifle my giggles. Wiping at my eyes I but my bottom lip, looking up at him with a slight apologetic look on my face. "I am sorry Sir. I just couldn't help myself." I said finally regaining my posture, I said Sir because techincally the three brothers were the kings, rulers of the vampire world. I have respect, they have done nothing to not have mine. "But it seems like you think I know not of what I am getting myself into. I know, I do. Three days I will be in the worst pain imaginable, I will burn on the inside. The third day in most opinion will be the worst because that is when my heart will speed up and then give it's final beat. It also seems like you are trying to frigten me." I said with a smile. "Though honestly you or your brothers are not very scary. Though you are v...nevermind. If you wouldn't mind Sir, I have a few questions." I said my voice a bit softer then before. "I was wondering if I would be put in a room until I woke up. I was also wondering if I would be waking up alone or with people there. If anyone is going to be with me throughout the change. I don't need someone but I have heard that is most common. I am just wondering what the..plans I guess one would say, are." I said my voice, with more backbone, more myself again. While I was still cursing him and whatever damn power he had over me to the deepest darkest depths of hell.

Isabella still couldn't believe it, she was still trying to wrap her head around everything. When she finally thought her life was getting back on track this has to happen. Not that she minded Jasper particularly it was just the possiblity of who was with him. When she finally raced out the door she began wandering, caught up in her thoughts. Next thing she knew she almost collided with someone and instantly felt bad. "I'm sorry." Bella said at the same moment Jasper did, the moment he spoke she knew who it was. His southern accent was unforgetable. She went to get his books but he already had them by the time and was walking away. His words lingered in the air around her. 'They are not with me, Bella.' She felt the slight wave of calm still with her as well and unable to help it, she smiled a bit. Those words made her calm almost instantly, and the way even her nickname came out of his mouth made her shiver. That accent of his would get her in trouble, she could listen to him talk forever.

Grabbing herself a seat in her next class, Foreign Literature she zoned out completely. Going over what happened in the morning and then what happened last class she was still jumbled with her thoughts, though she was calm. The calm was only because she knew now that Jasper was alone. Though in her hectic mind that made a whole new set of questions and theories. Isabella's first thought immediately was wondering if he was alright, if something happened. If he would need any help or anything at all. During the class and the rest of her morning classes she wondered what she should do and all the possiblities. By the time her last morning class finish she had her mind made up and plan figured out. And absolutely nothing was going to stop her. Sure it might be a challenge but she was up for it and if worse came to worse, she'd stalk him if she had to. As weird as that sounded she would, she just needed to tell him something and then she'd leave him alone for good if he wanted. Which that would most likely be it.

The morning continued to fly by until it was about lunch time. Rising from her seated place she walked out the door, but jumped slightly when she felt her pocket vibrate. Shaking her head at herself with a slight smile she took out her phone, flipping it open and read the text, well texts. Bella was so caught up in her thoughts this morning she missed 23 text messages. Most of them from Jacob who was worried over nothing. Leah finally had texted her after the 16th text from him saying she took his phone. Other than the senseless texts from Jake and the one from Leah, the rest were from other friends and other pack mates. So she decided to send on out to everyone in the pack who texted her, Jake included.

Hey packy.
THANKS SO MUCH LEAH!!!!
I LOVE YOU!!!
Jake your so annoying, I unlike you have classes.
Or well actually care about my classes.
Calm down sparky.
Teehee, love you, don't kill me.
I miss you all && love you all.
Yes we are still on.
Can't wait to see you all!
Again I miss you all terribly!
Jacob Black leave me ALONE!!!
I will call you later!
Ttly.
xoxoxo
Izzy Bells

After hitting the send button, she slid her phone down, pushing it back into her rightback pocket. The smile that was playing on her lips finally escaped, as she thought about the pack and her other friends. Isabella still kepted in touch with some of her other friends as well, like Angela. Angela was just a few hours away actually. The two wound up becoming more than best friends, they became like sisters. Even though the two were hours away and at different colleges they still hung out. They still saw each other atleast once a month, though when the holiday months came by it's more often then less. The pack was well something else, but in a good way. They are her family, and she is theirs. Especially with her boys, Collin and Brady. Can't forget Leah either, though at first it was rocky now they are sisters as well. With Collin and Brady it's different she is their mother, and they are her boys. Bella had great relationships with everyone.

Walking to the dinning hall she kepted an eye out for Jasper. Soon she was inside and she still couldn't find him as she went through the line, not like she was expecting too but still. Grabbing a peach ice tea and half a wrap she stood in the line, tapping her foot impatiently. Bella really wanted to find Jasper and continued to search the endless crowd even though he most likely wasn't there. Finally she paid, huffing she walked away and went to search the campus. As soon as she walked out the dinning hall door she stopped, thinking for a moment. With a fleeting thought she walked around the building to some of the scenary and found Jasper sitting under a tree. With a small smile on her lips, Isabella walked over to Jasper. Her emotions were calm and controled. "Hey Jasper." She said hesitantly. Getting a grip on herself she looked at him. "I just wanted to apologize, not only for earlier but for last year. I also wanted to let you know that if you ever need someone, that I am here for you." She said naturally now.

"Also I wanted to say that Edward is an a*****e if he did what I think he did. He probably let you take the blame when the attack happened. I know though it wasn't your fault, that you stopped breathing and would have been fine. But when he threw me into the glass you couldn't take your thirst along with the rest of the family. Especially Edward's since I was his singer, and also that he threw me to get me away from him. One last thing, your stronger than everyone else just to let you know; and you really are the strongest person I have ever met. I will always be here if you need me, no matter what." With that she turned and started to walk away, her emotions were calm and happy. Taking a bit of her wrap she then took a quick drink of her tea. Looking over her shoulder Bella gave Jasper a smile. "Bye Jasper." Walking around the building she found a quiet spot, spreading a small blanket. Placing her stuff down she listened to her Ipod, and took out a book, and began finishing her lunch.

[T o x ii c P o i s o n]

The young viallancourt mistress, who had just turned seventeen a couple months prior was locked in her room. Her family went as fair as having the guards walk by her room, to make sure she didn't leave. Samantha was the furest thing from happiness right now, and it was her wedding day, when happiness is suppose to be a major part. Depressed, furious, sadness were all that she was feeling, well the main feelings that she had. She wanted nothing to do with this marriage, or the man she was suppose to marry. In fact she had tried multiple times to get her parents to call the marriage off, she even sent letters to the Delacroix, pleading and begging (something she NEVER did) to call the whole thing off. Though they were polite and apologetic they declined. Well the letters to the women of the house were apologetic, the husband was just polite. Sighing depressedly, Elizabeth though back to the previous year, when she was still too young to marry, when everything was still perfect. Never wanted an arranged marriage and if she had to, she would have it with her best friend, Demetri. The two were so close and they had openly discussed this and wouldn't have minded because of the already close relationship they had. That was never going to happen though.

Samantha remembered being awoken horribly early in the morning, to be prepared. Bathed though she did that alone, she absolutely refused to have the servents to most things for her. After she had finished her bath she then let the servents get her ready, in order not to get in trouble withher parents. She remembered when her mother came in at the end of dressing and helped her finish.
'Sweetheart, I know you don't want this. I know that you would rather marry for the love in your heart instead of arranged but please try. I mean look at your father and me, we are happily married and we had an arranged marriage. I know that you don't want this and that it is completely against you in general. At first it was like that for us as well, just tell your arranged husband and maybe he will understand. As you have your days together maybe you two will fall in love. I am truly sorry but this is the only way, you must believe us. You know as well as I, that your father wouldn't have you marry at all. Your his daughter, his only little girl and he wants you to be happy. This is the only way.' She laid her hand on my cheek and brushed away a piece of hair that was in the way. Kissing me on top of my head she then left.

Understanding, yes Samantha understood everything it was for but that didn't mean she had to like it. Previously she had tried everything, going as far as running away (or well trying too). Her long light brown/dirty blonde hair fell in loose natural curls down to the middle of her back. Her gorgeous bright blue eyes held sadness in them, though that wouldn't change. Liza was stuffed in a horrid dress that made her feel stiff, well that was before she had the sewer fix that. It now was a pure white dress that flowed down, complimenting her body perfectly (X). Her hair held a white rose with a pink tip, while her bouquet held red, white, and a single light pink entwined with a yellow. It was like her mother and lady Delacroix's choice. The two lady's were friends from childhood and refused to be in the fued between their husbands. With a knock on the door she walked slowly over to it, counting her steps as she went. Standing before her was her mother and father, both wearing proud smiles. Taking her hand the family walked out of the manor and into the carriage. The only thing she accomplished was getting them to agree to talking to him, privately, through a door. So they left, on the way to Eliza's unwanted marriage.

Each passing moment seemed to go by faster yet slower at the same time. It was pure agony as she sat in the carriage across from her parents. As she looked through the carriage window she watched everything pass by. The whole town was still bustling with the morning rush, which was even more since it was friday. The children though were children, running around playing with one another carefree. How she longed to be a child sometimes, just to escape all this nonsense. The mind of the young mistress wandered as she forgot all the agony, sadness and as her daydreams continued they grew to happiness, enough to where she had a small smile on her lips. With the sound of a slam, Samantha was snapped violently out of her wishes. The smile that once played faintly on her lips had completely disappeared. She had a fleeting thought of stealing the carriage and running away, to be happy. Shaking her head slightly, she stepped out of the carriage smiling politely at the man with a thank you.

How she hated servents, not the people but the title. They shouldn't have to be like that, things such as class shouldn't matter. That wasn't happening but that was how she was, she refused help unless she absolutely had to. Like her mother, Samantha was very independent and passionate. This marriage was another thing she hated. One thing that had her wondering was her future husband, if he was a pompus a** or something along those lines. If that was the case, no matter, agreement or not she would devorce him if he didn't change. Samantha was taken to the torture chamb... the preperation room for some more work and such. She blushed furiously as the maid complimented on how gorgeous she was, and that she wouldn't need any make up. After a few moments of calming down, they all sat and got to know each other. While that was happening they told her what they said earlier wasn't a lie and that her kindness meant alot to them. Her face was constantly flush which they all teased her about as well, but all in good nature.

What she guessed as an hour had passed, she was having so much fun and joy being with the other girls, even the children. That was another thing that had her worried, she wanted children, loved them. Heirs were expected from her once the marriage happened, she wanted to marry for so many reasons and that was one of them. Now she had to lay with a man she knew nothing of and had to eventually have children with him. Everything about this marriage, all the aspects that were suppose to be exciting and looking forward too she was now dreading. A knock from one of the girls had announced she was able to have her talk with her husband to be. Taking a deep breath she walked to the door and knocked. "Hello." Elizabeth spoke, her voice was naturally soft, musical, and sweet.

"Look I don't want to get marriage and most likely neither do you, I have wrote countless of times, each asking for this to be called off. But neither my nor your parents would agree. As much as I would love to call this whole thing off, neither of us can. My mother said that it wasn't that bad, she and my father are so in love and had one but this isn't me in all honesty. I am not saying it can not advance to that but I highly doubt it. Highly. I do however do not wish to hate or harbor any ill feelings towards you nor you me, since neither of us had a choice. I just hope for us to tolerate or even befriend each other." With saying her words she felt a tiny bit better. A girl came rushing up the hall and grabbed her hand, telling her she had to finish getting ready. "Sorry milord, but we have to get mistress vaillancourt perpare for the ceremony." The girl apologized snatching the young miss away. A few more hours passed and a million things were running through Samantha's mind. The music was heard and she was escourted down to the doors. Her father at her side and viel down, the doors opened and the two decended down the asle. Arriving at the arch her father gave her a kiss, viel down and left her with her husband too be as the ceremony began. Though she still hadn't looked at her husband to be.

[T o x ii c P o i s o n]

Ever since the maid, she intwardly flinched when she had to say that word. That is why she called them girls or something similar. Ever since then she has been feeling terribly. Inwardly she was damning everything to hell, though that is so unproper of a young lady she didn't care. That wasn't how anything was suppose to go. She wanted to talk to her soon to be husband but because of all this silliness she couldn't, she just said what she said and was pulled away. Samantha was not at all upset with Lily, but everything else, Lily was just doing her job. Lily so far was one of her favorites, but her favorite of all time was Cassandra as well as the children. Having them around would make everything more barable if her husband to be was horrible. Especially the children, what shocked everyone though, was Vincent. Supposably he never talked and never really went near anyone unless he had to. Though Samantha went up to him and he was perfectly fine. No one noticed at first and had left, when they returned they had frozen with shock.

It had taken Elizabeth a full twenty minutes to notice why Vincent was giggling. When she finally had, the shocked people in return shocked her. Vincent clung to her immediately, and stayed at her side until he could not any longer. When she and the rest of the girls were alone again they had asked her what she did. When the figured she was puzzled by what they meant they told her to tell them what happened. All were shocked again that he just came up to her, though some were crying ebcause of how happy they were. She was told that he was an orphan technically, his parents died and they brought him to the manor. The two had taken a liking to one another quickly, as soon as he clung to her; she decided right then she would care for him, no matter what anyone said. Elizabeth was hoping her husband to be would be alright with it. A small smile played on her lips as she recalled the whole memory. That smile broadened when she recalled what her father had said to her right before they walked in.

It was a few minutes before she was to leave for the wedding doors to meet her father. Samantha was pacing like a mad women when the knock was heard along with the door opening. Whipping around she saw her father standing there, his eyes slightly glazed over. 'Daddy, what's wrong? Did something happen? Is everyone alright?' She asked frantically when he nodded his head and walked over to her. "Everything is just fine, I just wanted to come in and see you and everything. You look beautiful, but the word honestly doesn't do how you look justice. I just wanted to see you as my baby girl one last time." He whispered and brushed away a piece a hair, tucking it behind her ear. She could see the unshed tears in her father's eyes. Smiling, she knew her own eyes were the same. "Daddy, I will always be your little girl. I will always be my daddy's little girl. Nothing would or could change that. I know you don't wish this on me but since the purposal was offered you had to take it. I understand, yes I wish it was different but I can not change that. Yes I wish to wait instead of getting married a few weeks after my birthday but I understand. I love you, nothing will change.' She whispered as he brushed away a tear. She was never one to cry usually. Hearing the que the two linked arms and left.'

As she stood infront of her husband she, still couldn't look at him. It wasn't like she would eb able to anyways, the veil did a good job at hiding. Though she could tell he was taller than her by a few inches. A thousand different things were running through her mind. She could hear all the whispers about how perfect she was, when truth was she wasn't. Her own opinion she was the furthest thing from it. Samantha was scarred, though she seemed to have everything she was still broken at a point. Though she hid everything well it didn't mean that it didn't happen. Closing her eyes she closed herself off to everything, gathering herself so she wouldn't lose her nerve. There would be no kiss, like any other arranged marriage which she was thankful they had accepted her request to that. Taking a deep breath, she felt her hand being lifted and felt what seemed like the weight of the world on her ring finger. Feeling the squeeze cause a slight smile to grace her lips, she knew what it was for. Taking his hand she slid the gold band on his finger and gave it a squeeze as well. For an apology as well as a thank you.

With that the two was pronounced Mr. and Mrs. Delacroix, no longer would she have Vaillancourt as her last name, which she would undoubtably miss. The music began playing and the two walked down the isle side by side. They had some time for the two before they had to arrive at the reception. Taking his hand gentle but yet firm she pulled him into a room, nodding to Lily. As soon as she enter she sighed and sat down on an empty chair. The whole dress poofed worse making her a white blob. "Darn thing, grrrr." She muttered softly forgetting he was in the room as she fixed it. Taking off her veil she shook her hair, letting it fall in gentle curls down her back. In the truth Samantha was a very gorgeously beautiful girl. Looking up with closed eyes she slowly opened those gorgeous soul seeing blue. Immediately her face flushed as she saw her husband. "Pardon my language...well I meant it but I didn't mean to seem...I should have said that infront of you is what I mean." Samantha said with a small smile, and stood. "I am so sorry, for many of things. First off is your outfit, it looks horrible and must feel worse, mine is atleast tolerable. Second is for earlier, I wanted to stay longer but the dam...but I was needed to get finished up." With that she walked over to the window and looked out. Her eyes held longing and sadness though there was a small bit of happiness, but more so tolerance.

"I said what I said earlier and meant it, though it was just a bit of how I feel. I will let you know first off that I am not perfect, dispite what everyone thinks. My honest opinion is that there is no such thing. I had habits that could annoy you and things you probably wont like but who doesn't. I just don't want to hate each other. I know you didn't want this, but neither did I. I want to be friends atleast, I would like to get to know you." She spoke even softer than normal and turned to him, looking at him with her blue eyes. "Now I want to hear what you have to say about all this, I will respect if you do not want to be friends. But I would like too. Would you allow me to get to know you, Mr. Delacroix?" Her tone was light and she had a semi smile on her lips as she looked at him. "Oh and I am terribly sorry for that, I just had to get that out before I couldn't and it was rude of me for not only that but not introducing myself. Samantha Elizabeth Vaillencourt...well now Delacroix. I go by anything though. I also sent a notice saying we would not be going to the reception. I hope that is alright." After she spoke that, it was the last time while he spoke and was finished.

Groaning loudly the raven haired boy turned over pulling the covers over his head, hiding from not only the sun but the noise. At first is wasn't that loud but after each sentence the annoyance grew to a louder tone. Clearing his mind he tried to block everything out and had been succedding for awhile, that was until he got pounced on. Flying up he pushed the lumps off him and slowly he breathing began to normal again. "What the hell, you know you aren't light heavy asses." Vincent grumbled and fell back trying to go back to sleep. "Not a chance buddy. Your going to sleep the whole day and most likely the meeting and you know that just isn't an option." His friend Alexander said laughing as he yanked and finally manage to pull him from the bed. Luke had been holding on to the bars but that didn't even work.

"Fine!" He grumbled again unhappily as he mummbled about best friends being turned into bugs, squishing them, and then sending them to hell. As much as he loved his best friend he didn't want to wake up today. Blanket still around him, Vincent stood up looking at Alexander. Well more like glaring at him. "Happy now?" Vinny asked and when Alex shook his head he almost killed him. He had yanked the blanket form around him and smiled. "Now I am. Go get dressed, take a shower or whatever and hurry up." With that said the brunette left his friend standing there flabergasted. Grumbling he grabbed his things and scurried into the bathroom. Twenty minutes later he was out of the shower and dressed. His clothes were simple today, a white suit, with the design in a light blue. He already had his piercings and necklace on, all of the jewlery he was wearing today he had on.

Today was going to be something else alright. Today was the meeting with the other family, the other mafia. Today was the day instead of having a meeting, they were kidnapping their princess. He was going to be the one stuck with her, all he hoped was that she wasn't a spoiled little b***h or something similar. He would whine up getting too annoyed and doing something if she was. He found out alot of girls in this were nothing but that and he hated it. That is why he has yet to find a girl. Well that and he just hasn't found anyone he is interested in, there is no girl that is above that level. He doesn't want someone like that, he wants someone he can talk to and they will listen and the opisite too. But like that is ever going to happen. The chances of that is like one and a thousand, well for him and his luck anyways.

A smirk appeared on his lips as he thought about what was going to take place in a few moments. The mafia was coming over thinking they were going to have a meeting, to discuss something or other, but boy were they in for a big surprise. When they walked in, the princess would be last and in which the family/his guards would grab her and then take her to his car, where he would drive away unnoticed, well until it was too late. About an hour or two had passed when the silent red light began flashing, to let everyone know they had arrived and that the plan was being put into action. Smirking as his friend she gave him a two finger goodbye before walking away. Sliding on his sunglasses he went out the secret door and followed the passage ways until he was at the side street. Once there he got in his car and rolled up the windows.

Alexander and Derek walked out, the girl in Alex's arms. Placing her in the back seat he nodded to his best friend before turning around and leaving. The girl was knocked out cold and would/should be for a good few hours. Just in case though he locked everything, setting it up so only he could unlock them. As for being seen, that wouldn't be a problem. Not only were the window's tinted, but the way Vincent was leaving was an ally way. It wouldn't at all look suspious. Everything was going just as planned. After he got the signal he pulled out and pealed around the corner, racing out onto the freeway. When he was in the hustling traffic he knew for sure he was safe and did the speed limit. Everything had gone smoothly, perfectly then again they always did. The Hotohori's especially Vincent always made sure of that. A few hours later he was standing by the window, waiting for the girl to wake up.
