At first glance Katherine noticed something visibly different about him. Her heart was hammering in her chest as she was having a stare off with Dylan. The pressure building in her chest made her feel faint.

"I'm visiting my Uncle John," he shrugs before his gaze looked her over not so subtlety, making Katherine instinctively wrap her arms around herself. She felt tears prick at the corner of her eyes as he continued talking but all she heard was static. "And then I saw this little thing walking on the side of the road." She stepped back before walking away, ignoring his calls, she could not stand there any longer.

Katherine heard him peel away but with the squealing of tires the car spun around in a swift U turn he slammed on the breaks stopping besides Katherine. At this point she was visibly pale, and the queasiness was building up in her chest. Her whole body was starting to tremble uncontrollably as the fear at the pit of her stomach was starting to rise.

"Hop in! I'll give you a ride. It's not safe to walk home alone."

"My fathers the chief of police so I think I got myself handled." She began walking again but the black Honda was still creeping up besides her.

"Come on Kat! It'll give us time to catch up." Katherine just shook her head and kept walking. The sudden sound of his horn blaring made Katherine clamp her hands over her ears, trying to suppress the noise.

Dylan sped forward before slamming on his breaks, he got out of the car. Katherine turned and ran pulling out her phone. Normally she would call the police but she knew they wouldn't make it in time since they were on the other side of town. The road she was on linked with the road to the Cullens and she was praying someone was home.

"Hello?" The sound of Edwards voice filled her with some relief.

"I need help now I'm being chased!" She quickly explained followed by her location. "Don't drive just run to me!" She yelled as she heard quick footsteps behind her. Looking back he was gaining up on her and she couldn't help but notice the change in his looks. The latent paleness and the red of his eyes.

He was toying with her.

Before she knew it her face was being pushed roughly against a tree, slicing the skin above her right brow and scraping her cheek.

Cold hands traveled along her skin causing a shiver to go through her.

"You smell amazing." Dylan's minty breath wafted down onto her face. His hand slid under her shirt before he was ripped away with a grunt.

Pushing herself off the tree she spun around to see Edward pummeling the Dylan. She gasped when Rosalie appeared in front of her. Rosalie's eyes locked onto the blood sliding down Katherine's face. She removed the floral scarf around her neck and applied it to Katherines face.

It took everything in Rosalie to not focus on the blood coming from her mates face. She felt torn, she was furious and wanted to kill the bastard that hurt her but another part of her wanted to get Katherine away from all of this.

"I'll take you to my house and get you cleaned up. I'm sure you don't want Charlie finding you like this." Katherine didn't say anything only nodding her head. Her heart was hammering in her chest and couldn't find the words to speak. She just wanted to get out of the dark.

Katherine sat still and diligently as Carlisle cleaned her wounds.

"The cuts not deep so you shouldn't need stitches."

"Thank you." Her voice came out in a whisper. She couldn't bring herself to look at him. She felt out of touch with her body at that moment. After all this time Dylan reappears into her life and tries to attack her. Not only that but now he was a vampire?

It was insane.

A knock sounded against the door just as Carlisle was finishing up.

"Come in." The door opened and Rosalie stood there holding a new shirt.

"I brought you something to change into."

"I'll leave you to it." Carlisle excused himself as he swiftly shut the door behind him. Taking the clothes from Rosalie they both turned around so she can get changed.

"How are you doing?" Rosalie asked after she finished.

"Like I was attacked by my past." She replied as she wandered over to the leather loveseat in Carlisle's study and plopped down on it.

"I can drive you home if you want." Rosalie says slowly trailing behind, gently taking a seat the opposite end. Katherine didn't reply due to being stuck in her own head. Everything replayed in her mind like a movie and once again Rosalie was there to save her in the end. Though she still stood her stance on her relationship with Rosalie she couldn't help but relish being in her presence even if it's not under good circumstances. It always was a comfort being with Rosalie which is why they got on so well.

But that still didn't change anything for her.

"Yes thank you." Katherine got up but felt a cold hand on hers.

"I'm here if you ever need anything Katherine." Her heart skipped a beat but she ignored the feeling.

"Thank you."
