I followed Jacob as he sniffed out the vampire. Was I doing the right thing? Should I really go charging after the seemingly harmless golden-eyed vampire? Maybe she was a friend of the Cullens или of the Denali Coven. I’d met with them briefly once. Tanya, Kate, Irina, Carmen and Eleazar. Tanya with her клубника blonde locks had her eyes set on Edward. When we first met I thought I saw disappointment in Tanya’s eyes. Her chance with Edward was gone but when she found out I was only human a sudden hope bloomed in her. I had a little wander in her mind. I wanted to know if she was planning a steal-and-run with my fiancé. Kate and Irina were not so much in Любовь with Edward and were very nice to me. We got on quite well. Carmen was not in anyway related to Tanya, Kate and Irina who were sisters. Carmen was dark haired unlike the various forms of blondes the other girls were. She had a hint of оливковый, оливковое to her pale complexion as did Eleazar whereas the sisters were all just pale. Carmen and Eleazar were just as welcoming and Eleazar had a freaky power were he could sort of sense или know what power another possessed.
I really didn’t fancy getting in trouble with the Denali Coven because Kate had a very offensive power. She can shock you. Apparently it’s like a human being tasered. I’m human. I do not want to be tasered. By police или vampire. But it wasn’t just because of Kate though. The Denalis were like the extended family of the Cullens. I wouldn’t want to be a cause of a fall out between them. It was just stupid. And soon they would be my extended family and I did not want to enter into a feud started by me. I would get some serious cold shoulders and not just because they’re vampires.
I heard a laugh that sounded like wind chimes and knew we were nearing the vampire. Jacob slowed down and we crept over so as not to alert our presence.
“You shouldn’t be out here alone,” I heard Charlie say, trying to sound serious. “There are very dangerous creatures in these woods.”
“Oh Police Chief,” the vampire purred. “I think Ты may have to escort me home.”
NO! I silently screamed in my head. Don’t take her home!
We stopped and hid behind a tree. There was no one else there except for Charlie and the vampire. I could see the back of him and saw how close he was to the vampire. She looked exactly as I had seen her in my vision. The vampire was twirling a curl of dark hair around her finger and looking up at Charlie, her big golden eyes drawing him in.
What do we do? Jacob asked me, watching the vampire carefully.
“I don’t know,” I whispered. I wanted to grab Charlie and run as fast and as far as possible from her but I couldn’t. I couldn’t keep doing this. Every time a hint of danger came within a sixty mile radius I jumped and tried to exterminate it. Jacob was right. I had to stop this. And this vampire was nice anyway. She had the golden eyes that marked vegetarianism. She wouldn’t eat Charlie. Relationships between humans and Вампиры were possible. Maybe she liked his voice and his smell and decided to see if she liked all of him too. It could happen.
I turned around and waited for Charlie’s answer. I would leave it to him. Charlie was a big boy and could handle himself. He could read her mind and wrestle her if need be and I would wait in the sidelines until I was needed. I would not interfere.
Kayla! What are Ты doing? Jacob hissed his thoughts at me. He nudged my head with his. Aren’t Ты going to do anything?
“Jacob, Ты сказал(-а) it yourself, I have to stop being so paranoid. It probably wasn’t even her in my dream. She is a vegetarian.”
I heard Charlie clear his throat and turned around to see the vampire draping her arms around Charlie. I felt like walking over there and ripping her arms off and seeing how she’d manage then.
“I would Любовь to escort Ты Главная but I have to get back to the station and fill in a report,” Charlie said, delicately peeling her arms off his shoulders. “And then I have to get Главная to my daughter.”
“You have a child?” The vampire looked stunned momentarily. “How old is she?”
“Eighteen,” Charlie answered. “But she is alone and I worry for her. She’s going through some tough issues at the moment. I don’t like to leave her alone for very long.”
She looked very thoughtful and I considered making a visiting to her mind and see what was brewing in there.
“Is she as special as you?” she asked Charlie.
“Even еще so. She’s quite dangerous too, Ты know.”
“Is that a threat?” She smiled, flashing her pointed teeth.
“If it was a threat it would include me and her vampire fiancé,” Charlie smiled, his face changing into one of a hunter.
The vampire threw her head back and laughed. When her head came back вперед she looked much еще feline, ready for a fight. Her eyes glittered wickedly and her teeth looked sharper.
“Vampire fiancé?” she laughed again.
“I am not joking,” Charlie said, still smiling. “Every thing I say is true.”
Her hand moved fast, appearing at Charlie’s face, level with his eyes. She caressed his face, her fingers whispering across his skin. Her face slowly softened back to the vampire we’d first encountered.
“I would Любовь to meet your daughter and her vampire fiancé,” she whispered, her face moving closer to his. “And I would Любовь to get to know Ты more.”
Her lips touched his very lightly. Charlie stumbled backwards, completely shocked by it. She smiled shyly and then ran off at lightening speed.


My dreams were tormented by this vampire.
She danced in front of my eyes with a human сердце beating in her hands. Charlie’s heart. She threw it up in the air and caught it. She did it again and again. She was playing with it. Charlie stood off to the side staring at her adoringly. I was trying to get his сердце back because she was breaking it. I could see a crack in the heart, right in the centre. I had to get it and fix it so he wasn’t hurt but it was going too high up for me to reach and then she would push me away and Charlie would scowl at me. He pointed at the corner sending me away and I begged him to let me stay with him but he shook his head. I felt so confused and hurt that I didn’t know what to do after that. So I sat in the corner and stayed there until I felt something cold on my cheek and opened my eyes.
Edward was touching my cheek with his hand. He gazed down at me, his eyes full of concern that I didn’t understand.
“What’s wrong?” I asked him, sitting up.
He was standing Далее to my постель, кровати
“You were crying,” he said, tilting his head to the side. “In your sleep.”
I touched my cheek and felt the wetness that meant tears. I didn’t know that the emotions I had felt in my dream would make me actually cry.
“I’ve only just got here,” Edward said, sitting Далее to me. “What’s wrong? Is it about Rosalie?”
“No,” I said, wiping my cheeks with my hands and snuggling into Edward. “It has nothing to do with Rosalie.”
“Really? Because she did say some awful things.”
“Rosalie has nothing to do with this,” I confirmed. “It’s about Charlie.”
And before he could ask I told him everything. About the dream, the vision I had with Jacob and the forest. I lied to him on the phone, I knew I had, but that was because I thought I could handle it without him needing to Присоединиться in. I was just going to send her on her way without any messing. But that changed when I actually thought about things. I couldn’t stand there and tell Charlie he couldn’t have a relationship with the vampire because then I would be the biggest hypocrite known to civilisation. But now I knew I needed his help. If Charlie did become romantically involved with this vampire I needed Edward to help her control her bloodlust. Edward had been there with me and he could help her control the thirst. Also maybe he could bring up some dirt on her. There weren’t very many vegetarian Вампиры so finding out about her wouldn’t be too difficult. The Cullens and the Denalis were the only two covens of vegetarians that I knew about.
Edward sat in silence for a few минуты before speaking.
“So the dream was actually a premonition?” he asked.
I nodded.
“And you’re sure?”
I nodded.
“Positive? Absolutely no doubts?”
“Edward. There was nothing for me to feel guilty about to have that exact same dream again. And I knew it was a premonition because I felt how I usually feel after a vision. Tired, eyes hurting and I also felt the whole being dropped inside my body thing. Trust me.”
We remained silent. Both of us thinking.
“Would Ты be bothered about Charlie dating a vampire?” Edward asked, a slight smile in his voice.
“Yes,” I answered. “Do Ты know the dangers that come with a vampire?”
I looked up to see a genuine smile on his face.
“You think I’m a hypocrite,” I said.
“No, I think Ты finally understand how Charlie feels now,” he corrected. “Everything Ты are thinking now is what has been going through Charlie’s head for the past two years. Have Ты any idea of the amount of suffering he has been enduring?”
I shook my head.
“You soon will.”
