" So, tell me, how was your first day of school. Malachi, honey? I am sorry for the late phone call. I had to work on a case with Dan, and your father well.. you know him, he had to self insert and take his role as a royal pain in my ass all too seriously." Chloe occupied her time, using her shoulder to hold the cellphone in place, then before taking the laundry basket from the sofa.

Trixies clothes, and a selective amount of her own dress pants for her job, were neatly folded.

" for the first day of being a new student, in a school where kids grew up and progress to high school together? being The new kid and a stranger? No problems happen. Uneventful." he describes, his mind denotes and goes stray to his first encounter with Edward. remembering how the boy, with hair the same colour as mahogany, gave an astonish look when being spoken to.

a small smile crosses his mouth.

" how did Bella take her first day of being a new girl? did you and her stay close? help figure out your places there?" Chloe didn't need to wait for her son to reply, in her mind she was knew. The smile on her face extends to her ears, at his words.

" I don't think I need to tell, I feel and basically can see the smile you are giving me. Mom." He laughs, just picturing his mother having on the widest of smiles.

" you and bella care for each, so much. don't you, honey?".

the points of Malachi's ears twitch, hearing Renee's voice coming from the speaker of Bella's phone. through a wall which was situated, and separated the rooms, he leans over to hear Bella talking with disconcert of how 'welcoming' boys in forks were. 'She is definitely talking of and about Edward.'

his eyebrows twitch in a frown; but the sound of Chloes voice coming from the phone speaker brings him back to where he sat, half off the bed.

" Malachi? Malachi. are you still there, honey?" now standing at the kitchen, and fridge half open with light filling the room with a light illumination, Chloe begins to sound concern. " sorry, mom. to answer, her first day was something. She is on a phone call, with Renee. her mom."

Trixie, hearing her mom talking on the phone, emerges out of her bed room. eyes drooping, heavy and no energy, she uses the back of her hand to rub under her eyes. " is that kai-kai, mommy? can I talk to him and say goodnight." she reaches her hand, making a motion with her hand which was meaning to say 'pass the phone'.

" sure, monkey. but only for one minute, you have your father picking up and taking you to school in the morning." States Chloe, not wanting to say no to her daughter. trixie is handed the phone, her thumb touching the speaker option. " hi, kai." her yawns sound.

" hey, Trixella. what is the time you call this? did I wake you." says kai, leaning forward— standing from the comfort of his mattress. " I heard mommy talking on the phone, and your name. I miss you, Kai, when can I see you again. when are you coming home?". her voices croaks, and mouth drops in a pout, tears showing and forming in her eye lids. Chloe didn't like when Trixie was not behaving in her conventional self, and way.

Her energy was always positive, never upset unless it is times when she isn't allowed to have a second slice of chocolate cake.

" don't cry, please. trix. I miss you too." Kai feels his heart break in dejection, at hearing his little sister being sad.

" I do not know if I can make this a promise. But, prom is a month and one half away I believe, I can talk with Charlie— Bella's dad. I can try to fly out back to home. okay, Trix? after prom. is that okay, can you wait one more month. then you can see me again? and I can bring Bella back with me for the trip, because I know you have not seen her since she went to live with her mom."

just about to raise her fist to knock, bella pauses— placing her ear an inch from the door. she knew eavesdropping was not good, none the less she continues to listen. " did you hear Kai, mommy! he is coming back after prom."

Hand on the door knob, Bella turns the handle clockwise and the door creaks. " okay, now it is indefinite you need to go back and sleep. Monkey! go to your room and I will be there tuck you back in. I have to put Trix back to bed, Malachi. I love you, and tell Bella she has a place here to stay as well if she does make the choice to come here."

Bella hears Malachi begin saying his good night to his mom, and is slow to advance his bed— her gliding under and in the covers of his duvets. " I heard my name was mention. and, California." She begins to talk, finding comfort in the warmth of her best friends room. it felt exceptionally better. " Trix misses me. we got to talking about the possibility, of me having time to come to La again. after prom."

He did miss his sister, it was a foreign thing for him to be away and not see her. in the two days he has been elsewhere where he was not coming back to his home. Bella nestles her head in the nape of Malachi's collarbone. " she and I discuss you coming with me, back to California. she would like that, to see you." he touches her hair with his head, " and mom does agree too. that you should come."

She gave a smile of warmth, Chloe was always kind to her. " going to Los Angeles sounds like a good plan and idea. dad will agree, moreover I like to think he would be more careful about the fact and possibility of your dads slight articulate, and erratic, behaviour making him unsure of me being in the same house as he." her chest moves and heaves a laugh, which Kai copies— the notion being true.

his father was a man of unpredictability.

" Charlie is not wrong with his worry."

Bella eyes close, sleep wanting to succumb her. " I will take you back to your room." Kai places his hand under her knees, and begins carrying her back. The door was left ajar, which he thanks in the name of his grandfather— he could have easily manoeuvre her body, with ease.

' it is a surprise that Charlie didn't hear us talking. He must be down in the living room, I can hear the television.' a football re-recording was playing.

in two strides Malachi, now in Bella's bedroom, places and positions her body that to where she was covered by her purple satin sheets. Her expression shows peace, and she doesn't release her hold on Malachis hand.

Not choosing to wake Bella, he decides to just sit— placing his body down on the floor.

On the line of the forest trees, standing on a branch, sinister and haunting red eyes gleam with a strong peculiarity. the strongest scent the figure had ever smell, in his two centuries he was alive, leading him to the house he stares at now. 'This blood. it is something I have never wanted to taste as bad as I want now.'

He would stop at nothing, to have the blood he was smelling.

-

I wonder who this new mystery person is. Malachi just doesn't know how powerful his blood is, and his scent. Alone. What are your theories on who this man is, and why does he not want to stop until he gets his hands on Kai. Well will see.

My book is starting to really, but slow, get the reads i was hoping for. Thank you for having my book have ( nearly ) two thousand reads.

I have to tell a little truth, I am loving writing this book more so then I do with my previous twilight books/ and fan-fictions. I think I have said this once or twice but I am being truthful with this statement about Kai, and Edwards, story. I feel so attach to him.
