The feeling of coming to for the Swan was something indescribable. Blood rushed through her veins, cascading a feeling of sparks into her fingertips. Where she once felt pain, was now where she felt the lightest.

The thinly veiled covered sunlight poured through her pale and thinned eyelids, causing her to squint, although her eyes were already closed.

Everything surrounding her within the hospital room had a gentle vibration. The gentle gust of air that wafted it's way into the room tickled her skin, the machine attached to her chest and her fingers hummed, as if it were trying to reach out to her.

Murmurs filled her ears with the sound of rushing water, flower filled air making it's way into her lungs.

Emery could feel the imprintations on the hospital bed, hands hesitating to touch her, light laughter ringing through her ears.

Doors opened and closed, the sounds of footprints running towards her sounding like a stampede to her now sensitive ears.

The feeling of shaky hands running through her hair caused her body to snap and tense, her now heavy eyes trying to open.

"Bug? Can you hear me? Please, open your eyes." Cried out a deep voice, Emery's body relaxing as the familiar scent of leather and coffee blanketed her senses.

Brown eyes now mixed with green snapped open, but flinched and closed as her eyes met with the bright, florescent lights beaming back at her.

Laughter caught her attention as her body accustomed to being awake once again, allowing her eyes to open and meet the sight of her now smiling sister.

Bella beamed down at her, tears pooling in her eyes as her older sister took in her appearance. The lights that Rosalie attached to her hospital wall flickered as she took in a deep breath, emotion filling her at the sight of her family.

Emery found the strength in her to crack a smile, but began to frown as Bella began to break down. Tears began to fall torrentially from the younger Swan's eyes. The exhaustion and the toll of the threat of her almost losing her sister was finally off of her shoulders.

"Emmy."

The sound of the nickname she hadn't been called since she was younger brought tears to her eyes, her hand clenching on the wilted flower.

Charlie sighed out and tightened his grip on her left hand, resting his upper body on the arm of her bed, his eyes shining.

"It's good to have you back, bug." He said in a soft tone, his eyes brighter than she's ever seen.

Emery whimpered out, tears rising to her eyes as her father grinned proudly down at her, before bringing her into a warm embrace.

Bella watched as her father and sister cried onto each other's shoulders, beginning to feel like everything would be okay.

Squinting and turning her head, the younger Swan watched, enraptured, as the dampened wind began to slow and the sun became more promiment as her sister smiled.

Emmett paused as he made his way towards the small school building, his golden eyes blinking wildly as he took in the way the sky brightened and the way the wind slowed. 

The students that walked near him seemed to brighten up as they walked in, the bell ringing for the final warning sounded as if it were a hum instead of a shrill. Fear began to fill him as he realized his surroundings were changing. Chimes of familiar laughter filled his ears, causing him to flinch back in fright. Instead of his ears beginning to ring from the loud sound, he was instead filled with warmth. The surprising feeling of hope made his eyes burn. His body tensed as his eyes took in the smell of blood.

Red filtered into his eyesight as the puddle where the accident appeared momentarily, before seeping back into the concrete. 

Jumping back, the Cullen turned around to speak to his siblings, but froze as he took in their appearance.

Rosalie paused midway out of her car, her hands cupping her face, as she began to feel the familiar touch of hands delicately holding her cheek.

Edward was mid stride, his backpack slipping off of his shoulder as it shook with the effort to keep himself still. Right before him, a stem began to fight it's way through the crack nearest to his feet. As he began to step back, a flower began to bloom. Sunlight beamed down on him, causing his shimmering skin to reflect onto the bright petals. Wincing from the brightness, he went to turn around and run at the realization of himself being exposed. 

Before he could get more than a few feet away, a gentle voice rang out. 

""Είμαι μαζί σου και είσαι μαζί μου.""

The foreign words entered his ears, as if it were being blown to him through the breeze. Edward blinked as the sun seemed to move it's way from him, and onto the top of his sibling's feet.

Alice and Jasper glanced up at the sky, their mouths opening as the sun strayed over them, making the two feel warm.

The feeling of emptiness and hopelessness that they've felt for weeks was suddenly gone, as the light covered them in way that began to comfort the duo. The feeling of being embraced seem to shake Alice out of her daze and caused her to straighten up. Jasper gripped onto her hand as he took in the rare sunlight, his eyes shining with unshed tears. The sound of Emery's laugh filled his ears, causing him to choke out a strangled laugh filled with shock.

"What's going on?" Rosalie's rang out. Jasper and Alice looked over at their sibling, their eyes began to shift and she began to fade out.

As Jasper began to panic, her eyes began to sting. The concrete they once stood on, emerged into a bed of roses. Alice screamed out, turning to lean against her mate, before everything turned white and they tumbled forward.

"Are you sure this is the right way?" Emery laughed out, her bare feet tickling against the field she ran through. 

Alice grinned as she caught up with her, her short hair dancing against her forehead wildly. "Don't you trust me?" She asked out teasingly, biting back a grin as her mate pursed her lips.

Emery went to answer, but instead perked up and began to run faster as his voice rang through the forest. 

"You've got to be faster than that, doll." Jasper drawled out, speeding towards them with a cheeky grin. Alice bellowed out a laugh and reached out for her mates hand, pulling her onto her back. 

Emery gripped on tight as the trees began to turn into a blurred flurry, her eyes squinting as the wind began to burn her eyes. Wrapping her legs around Alice's waist, she twisted around and  screamed out. Jasper ran alongside her, before jumping in front of Alice and carefully slowing them down. Emery took a deep breath as she looked around, her eyes following the stream of water that took them to the other side. 

"Won't you stay with us?" Alice asked, reaching out and wrapping a cold hand around her forearm. Emery gasped as the water stopped rippling, before separating and creating a division through the water. 

Glancing up, Emery looked up at her mates, before her eyes pulsed green and a flower entangled itself around her. 

Tilting her head, the Swan began to grin, before tsking out playfully. 

"What do you mean?" She asked, beginning to look amused. Alice and Jasper looked at each other, before the flowers began to disappear, taking Emery with them.

"I'm already with you, I always have been."

Jasper stumbled forward with a grin, before taking in the reappearance of the school. Panic seized through him as he realized that Emery was gone. 

He turned towards Alice, frustrated at losing their mate once again. Alice looked up at him and began to grin. "She communicated with us, Jas." She beamed out. Jasper shook his head, confusion and sadness filling him.

"What does that matter? She already communicated to Bella and Edward. Maybe it was just our turn." Alice huffed out, before reaching out and gripping his shaking hands. "Think about it. What happened with them, it never included Emery. If ours included her, it means she's waking up. It means she's here with us. She's awake." 

"Then let's go." Emmett voiced out shakily, glancing around and fidgeting. "If Em ended up waking up, that should be enough for us to skip, right?" 

Edward frowned, before readjusting his bag and walking forward. "I'm not going back with you guys. I've missed enough of my classes. Maybe this is just a figment of our imagination. Maybe those two guys are just trying to get to us. It could be a trap." Rosalie raised an eyebrow, spotting her brother's fear a mile away.

"Listen," She began. "How about we just go and check it out? What's the worst that can happen? We get hurt? We're vampires, and she's family." Emmett grinned and made his way over to her, wrapping an arm around her for support.

"If Em could survive an attack from them, what harm could they do to us?" He joked, causing Alice to hold back a smile and look up at her mate. 

"Please? Have hope, maybe she's really awake this time." Alice pleaded. Jasper blinked rapidly and nodded hesitantly. Pushing back the images of her frail and unconscious body to the side, Jasper allowed himself to try and find the hope he once had. 

Edward shook his head and made his way into the school, his posture tight and his footsteps unsteady and fast. 

Sighing out, Rosalie put the key into the ignition and turned on the car, as her siblings made their way towards her car. 

"What if nothing changed? What if everything ends up getting so much worse and we end up losing her for good?" She asked out, her stomach feeling heavy. Emmett turned to her, before bending down and placing a gentle kiss on her forehead. 

"Just like you said before, she's family. If she could survive everything she's already gone through, she can survive this." Emmett said gently, before straightening up in the passenger side and setting his jaw. 

"Let's go and get our sister."
