~~~~(Flora's POV)~~~~
"Hugh," I gasp jolting awake in a cold sweat. My chest is heaving up and down fast, as I'm panting for air. A groan next to me makes me go stiff, until Stephen rises to a sitting position rubbing his eyes.

"Flora, is everything alright?" His brown orbs gaze into my brown speckled blue ones. I swallow and nod before saying,

"Yeah, I'm fine." I know Stephen doesn't believe me, but I feel his hand on my back rubbing in circles.

"Was it a nightmare? Do you want to talk about it?" He asks and I stare at my blankets. It wasn't really a nightmare, more of a warning. Should I tell him now or tomorrow when I talk to mom?

"It...it was about Aurora." Stephen's hand stops for a brief moment, like he's debating something. Great, I just made things awkward between us.

"I'm sorry Flora, it'll get better as time passes." What?

"Auri and I were talking, she was warning me about a vampire coming. I need to talk to my mom." I went to get out of bed but Stephen grabs my waist and pulls me back down next to him.

"Flo, it's 3:30 in the morning. Your parents are exhausted and are sleeping. Talk to them in the morning, because you need sleep." Stephen puts his left arm around my stomach with his chin on my shoulder. I sigh knowing I'm defeated this time.

"Okay," Stephen kisses my shoulder earning a giggle from me. Then he trails kisses from my shoulder, up my neck and ending behind my earlobe. I lay down on my left side, as I feel the bed behind me dip from Stephen moving behind me.

He lays down on his left side too, wrapping his arm around me, pulling me right into his chest securing me. I snuggle closer to him if it was even possible, loving his presence, his touch so desiring. I breathe a sigh of relief and feel my body relax to the breath I released.

Stephen pulls my purple comforter up over us, cocooning us in a ball of warmth. I'm dreading the morning to come. How do I tell mom? Hey mom, some evil vampire you ran into a while back is here for revenge and can't be killed? Ugh. Finally my thoughts calmed down for me to go back to a dreamless sleep.
******************
The smell of sizzling bacon wakes me up from a deep sleep. The empty space behind me indicates that Stephen left. I slowly get out of bed, go to the bathroom and get ready for the day. Once in a purple flowing crop top, black shorts and sandals, I head to the kitchen. There I find mom cooking.

"Morning sweetie!" I sit at the island.

"Hey mom." Sleep still evident in my voice. "Where is Stephen?" Mom turns around handing me a plate full of food.

"He had patrol and said he would see you tonight at Sam's." I nod my head. Last nights dream is still bothering me.

"Mom, I had a dream about a vampire...his name was Jason." My mom went stiff and I knew I hit something.

"Flora, tell me about this dream." My mom turns around with shock in her eyes. Her tone has a bit of venom with a hint of curiosity.

"It started out with a warning from...Aurora." I pause to see moms reaction, to see her eyes focused as if she's thinking. "She warned me that a vampire that you knew was coming back. That he would be invincible and take over the world, after he destroys the pack and Cullens."

Mom stays quiet and her being silent was scaring me. She looks me in the eyes and says,

"I'm going to talk with your uncle Sam and Carlisle. Are you sure it was Jason?" I nod, and I see many emotions swirl in her eyes. Mom turns around going back to cooking while staying silent. Aurora, I hope you were right about telling mom.
***************
We were having a family dinner, meaning the pack and Cullens were here. I sat outside on the deck looking out at the forest. I can hear mom telling everyone besides the girls. Shortly the back door opened and Sam came and sat by me.

"Hey," she said glancing at me.

"Hey," my voice quiet, lost in my thoughts. We sat in silence the sun dwindling behind the tree tops. "Sam...do you think I'm crazy?" She turns to me with wide eyes.

"W-what? Why would you say that Lo." I sigh, putting my thoughts in order.

"Oh come on Sammy, look at me. I've been hearing voices and terrible mood swings. I told my mom a dream I had last night and now she's spooked."

"Lo, we've been friends since diapers. I know you're not crazy, you've changed but not crazy." I jump to my feet and run a hand through my hair.

"I need to go for a run, wanna come?" She nods and stands up, and I run behind a tree and phase into my wolf. I prance out and over to Sammy, letting her on my back. Once she was settled I took off into the woods with the wind flowing through my fur.

Oh it feels good to run in my wolf form, as I don't normally phase. I usually ride on top of Stephen, and not the way you guys think. Geez, but I sure do miss this. The impact of my paws hitting the ground fill my ears, as the little sounds from other critters is drowned out.

"Where we going Flora?" Sammy yells loud and laughs over the wind.

'We're almost there.' I come to a trot close to the cliff where we cliff dive. I let Sammy climb off and walk to the edge but not too close. Stephen would kill me if anything happened to her.
"Flora, what are we doing here? This is where we go cliff diving." She looks at me confused. I just stare at her and look out at the open sea.

'You're right, but this is also a great place to see the full moon.' She turns to where I'm looking and her eyes widen in surprise.

"I had no idea. We've been friends for how long and I never knew this." I chuckle and shake my head.

'I actually come here to watch the cycles of the moon. I track each moon cycle so I know when the next full moon is, because this is the best spot.' I sit down and stare up. The sky looks like a dust cloud of pixie dust that exploded.

The breeze blew in from the east and my ears prick up for any sound. I don't like that sickly bleach smell right now. I snap my head to look over my shoulder to see no movement, but I sense someone there. I move in front of Sammy, just as a pale woman with flowing brown hair steps out from the trees. I growl at her in warning.

"What do we have here?" Her voice was like nails on chalkboard.

"I don't know who you are, but you better leave before things get ugly." Sammy retorts.

'Sammy, stay quiet and stay behind me.'

"I'm afraid things have already gotten ugly, sweetie. I mean you did lose a valuable asset." She smiles wickedly. I narrow my eyes at her and growl at the mere mention of my sister. Brunette took a step forward and I backed up, hearing the small crumble of pebbles hit the crashing waves beneath us.

We are running out of room as the brunette got closer. I growl at each step she took, her grinning her malicious smile. I hear something coming toward us when out of nowhere, Liam and Ember jump in between us growling at the leech. Lily runs to Sammy and holds her arm.

"Oh, look what the mutt dragged in, her little pack." Brunette's laugh at the end screeching like a whaling banshee. Liam and Ember stalk towards her and she takes a step back. "Well I would hate to cut this visit short but I will be back soon." Her malicious smile growing wider.

When she's out of sight, my brothers turn to look at me and my tense body relaxes. Ember turns around and checks on Sam.

"I'm okay Ember." Sam giggles pushing Ember's head away as he nudges her.

'Take Sam home.' Ember and Liam look at me and I ignore their gaze. Ember nudges Sam towards home and Lily follows, but Liam doesn't move.

'What about you?' His voice echoes in my head. I ignore him and walk in the direction away from home. He starts to walk with me and follows close to my hip.

'Where are you going Flora?' 

'For a walk obviously.' I retort a little irritated. I mean seriously, is it not that obvious?

'You shouldn't be out here alone after that leech showed up.' Liam says as a  matter of fact. I roll my eyes and continue walking.

'Well for starters I'm not alone. Second of all, that leech doesn't scare me.' She had a part in Auri's death, I just know it.

'Well not now since I'm following you, but you should be scared Flora. She did kill Aurora after all.' I stop immediately, turn around and growl in his face.

'I'm not so sure of that Liam. Ever since she got back I knew something was off about her. Once I knew about the torture she went through since she was ten, I'm pretty sure she was already dead inside!' I huff and go back to walking. The sound of heavier paws behind me, told me Liam was following me once again.

When can I get a break?
*******************
~~~~(Julie's POV)~~~~
"Those mutts are so dumb, why are we waiting?" I ask irritated wanting some action.

"Patience Jules, I want them to suffer." Jason says looking at a map on his desk.

"What do you mean suffer? That royal suffered when we drained her of blood." I raise an eyebrow to hear what he has to say.

"Haven't you noticed the wolves and Cullen's behavior since their friend died? They have been angry, sad, and more importantly...lost. That mutt you encountered with that human girl, she has been an interesting thing to observe."

"I really want to kill some of those mutts, I really want to kill that Edward. He killed my sister and I would like to avenge her." Jason smirks and gets up from his seat.

"I know, and you will have your revenge. But as long as I kill Amy, her sisters, and their children to end the Royal bloodline, you may do as you wish." Jason stares into my ruby orbs as his arms wrap around me.

"And then we can be together?" I smile leaning in towards him.

"Of course, isn't that what I promised you?" He whispers to me, leaning down and connecting our lips.

"I can't wait for those mutts to be extinct and Queen of vampires." I smile wrapping my arms around his neck.

"All in time, and what will be better when we throw the volturi off the thrones?" Jason smiles walking back to his desk. The door opens and I turn to see Drake dragging a girl into the room. He brings her to Jason and drops her to the floor.

"Here's dinner." Drake says and leaves. Jason walks to her, picks her up as I head to the door.

"I will leave you to your snack, enjoy." With that I shut the door, but as I'm halfway down the hall a blood shrieking scream that makes sensitive hearing burn. Burn like fire that is making a heavy smoke that coats your lungs.

I smile at the sheer pain from the girl's foolish scream. No matter what you do, once in the clutches of a vampire, your fate is sealed.
