It had been a few days since Kira had had her talk with the Cullens. Bella had come back to their house with Edward to start packing up Charlie's stuff, but she had instead chosen to just lock herself in her bedroom with Edward. This left Kira to do most of the packing, thankfully, with Jasper's help.

Jasper seemed to ease the pain. Kira wasn't sure how things were going to play out, but she had spoken with her mother who had agreed to let the girls stay in Forks, as long as they were under the supervision of some of Charlie's friends. This left the two sisters in Forks for at least the rest of the year.

Kira wasn't ready to leave Jasper yet, and she knew that Bella wouldn't leave Edward unless she was dragged out of the small town kicking and screaming. Kira was concerned for Bella though. She had overheard a few conversations between her and Edward, and from the looks of it, Bella seemed intent on becoming a vampire too. Of course Kire had already had this conversation with Jasper, but they had both agreed that now was not the right time. They would have to make a decision later, after more had happened. But Edward on the other hand seemed to be having a hard time convincing Bella that she shouldn't be turned.

Jasper walked into Kira's room to find her lying sprawled on her bed. He could tell that she was still taking Charlie's death very hard, but her was doing everything he could to try and help calm her and lessen the pain. It seemed to be working though, because Kira had been crying less an less as the week progressed.

This did not calm Jasper though. It seemed that every time Kira began to feel calmer and less sad, a new emotion would take over. Anger. He knew it was directed towards the vampire that had killed Charlie, but Jasper did not know what to do in order to make Kira calm down. He was still afraid to bring up the topic of Charlie around her, as she was still rather fragile, but he was also scared of what this anger could do if it kept building up inside of Kira.

So the two of them both stayed quiet. They were still having conversations and spending almost all of their free time together, but they avoided all topic of Charlie and the killer, unless absolutely necessary. The Cullens had their plan in place, ready for him if he came, but since the Cullens had made their presence known to the killer, he had refused to show his face. But Kira knew he was still lurking nearby.

Days passed. Kira was looking better, but something still seemed off about her. She was no longer sad. Just angry. It seemed like anytime something did not go remotely her way, she would turn around ready to snap. She was a totally different person.

Kira was spending her evening at the Cullens house. It had been Jasper's idea, and he had been hoping to make her feel better, surrounded by a bunch of other people who could sympathize with what she was going through. But he knew it was a long shot, and she knew that everyone else knew that as well. They still tried to make an effort nevertheless.

Alice had gone into the kitchen to retrieve the food that Esme had cooked for the girls earlier, but as soon as she left the room, the whole household heard the sound of glass shattering. Running into the room, Kira saw Alice standing there, with her back to the family. The glass bowl that the salad was once sitting in, was now shattered on the ground, along with the salad. Alice did not move.

Kira glanced at Jasper for an explanation, and he quietly whispered to her that Alice was having a vision of the future. Kira head Edward gasp, and from looking at him it wasn't hard for her to tell that he was looking into Alice's mind to see her vision.

Edward turned towards the family, announcing, "He's here. He's at your house." His eyes made contact with Kira's, before sliding towards Bella.

Kira didn't know what to do. Her father's killer was in her house. He was looking for the girls so that he could finish the job.

"Well? What are we waiting here for? We need to get to the house!"

Kira sprung into motion, attempting to run towards the front door, in order to reach her car and drive home, but Jasper grabbed her arm before she could. He wrapped his arms around Kira's torso in order to keep her in one place, and stop her struggling.

Carlisle chose that moment to walk forwards, gaining the attention of the rest of the room. "We need to send a few people to the house. Jasper and Edward will stay here with the girls."

This time it was Bella's chance to speak up. "No! He killed our father! I'm not going to let you leave me behind!"

Kira had to agree with Bella, but the vampires were all shaking their heads. They wouldn't allow the girls to go.

Kira sighed. "Fine." she said. She turned to Jasper. "I need to go to the bathroom." she stated, before walking towards the stairs and up to the bathroom.

Once there, Kira locked the door. She heard Jasper talking to the rest of the family, before the door opened and closed, signalling their departure. She then heard Jasper's footsteps coming up the stairs and heading towards his room. He was waiting for her.

But Kira would have to keep him waiting. Remembering what she did last time, Kira opened the bathroom window. She slowly and quietly climbed out of the window, and reached out towards the tree. This time she got down safely, and ran as fast as she could towards the cars.

Of course the rest of the family had not taken the cars, they could run much faster than they could drive. Kira climbed into a car, picking the one that she knew had the quietest engine. She turned the key, before pulling out of the driveway with as much speed as she could, without causing a commotion. She couldn't let Jasper hear her before she was close enough to her house that he wouldn't be able to stop her.

Kira had almost reached her street by the time her phone rang. Glancing at it, Kira was not surprised to see Jasper's name popping up on the screen. She had been expecting this, but chose not to answer it. Jasper did not need to know, he would realize soon enough.

Kira pulled up to the house. Inside she could see the rest of the Cullens. It seemed like everyone was on edge, but Carlisle was just standing straight up. He seemed to be talking to someone, and Kira had a fair guess of who it could be.

She quickly ran down the side of the house, heading for the back door so that hopefully they wouldn't hear or see her enter. She should have known that you couldn't sneak up on a room full of vampires though. As soon as the back door was open, all of the vampires seemed to appear in the kitchen at once. They were all looking at her. Even the dark haired man from her dream.

She froze. She hadn't thought this plan through, and now Kira was deeply regretting having not stayed with Jasper and Bella back at the Cullens house. She had been safe there, but now everything was up in the air. Jasper was not there to protect her anymore, and there was a very dangerous vampire with a look in his eye that said that he would do anything to get his hands on her and her blood.

Up close, Kira couldn't help but notice a few smaller details on the man. He had a scar going up his left cheek, and his hair was messy and filled with dirt. He also had a murderous twinkle in his eyes. The kind Kira had expected a vampire to have, but had yet to see. The Cullens did not have that scary twinkle, and Kira had never felt this frightened in any of their presences.

Just this man's stare was enough to have Kira shaking in fear. It was enough to have her frozen on the spot, wishing that she had never even come to Forks in the first place.

The man took a step towards Kira while she was frozen. She noticed him lick his lips, causing her to take a step away from him. At this movement though, the whole Cullen family had jumped in front of Kira. They had pushed her behind them and seemed to be growling at the mystery man.

He only chuckled though. He seemed amused by the situation when in reality Kira figured that he should be almost as scared as she was. A whole coven of vampires were standing in front of him, ready to attack at any sudden movement.

"You haven't even let me introduce myself yet." the man pointed out, the smile never leaving his face. He gave Carlisle a pointed look, but Carlisle shook his head.

"You have said enough." Carlisle's voice was sharp and clear.

The man only grinned. "Nonsense. It is only polite."

Kira was beyond shaking at this point. All she could do was sit and wait. Hope for Jasper to come and save her once again.

"My name is Dylan, young lady." He spoke. His voice smooth like honey, but had a sharp edge to it. It gave Kira the shivers just listening to him speak. He smiled the biggest smile yet. It looked wrong on his face though. Such a big smile, almost happy looking if in a different situation. But instead, it made him look crazy.

"And I am the man who killed your father."
