"She's not moving, why isnt see moving!?" William screamed as Zachary and Alicia found William, Liam, and Richard on their way back to the Cullen house. "I dont know! Do I look like a vampire to you? How the fuck should I know!?" Zachary yelled back as she cradled Asher's limp body and continued towards the Cullen house. "Calm down Zach." Liam told his adopted brother, "we need to get her to Carlisle." Zachary nodded and the group walked faster and faster, almost a run just so they could get there without hurting Asher.

"Shouldn't she be thrashing around or screaming or something since she was bit by a vampire?" Liam asked looking to Richard, "she should, Carlisle will know." Richard answered as they got closer to the vampires' house.

"Carlisle! Carlisle!" Zachary called as they reached the house, within seconds the family of vampires minus Bella and Edward were outside. They're faces turned to shock and horror seeing the limp Asher in Zachary's arms.

Jasper was the last to run out, freezing in his spot at the sight of his fiancee, if it wasnt for her faint heartbeat, Asher wouldve been mistaken for dead.

"What happened?" Carlisle asked calmly even though he was extremely worried about his future daughter-in-law. "Jeremy's alive. Well kinda I guess, I dont know hes one of you." Zachary said, "she's not waking up and she doesnt even look like she's turning, she was bitten, but nothings happening. What's going to happen to her Carlisle!?" Alicia yelled through streams of tears, Esme acted fast pulling the Gomez girl into her lovingly hope to calm the girl.

"Take her to my office. Now."

Asher stood in Carlisle's office, confused and lost was the only things she felt as she saw her fiancee, Carlisle, Emmett, Alicia, Zachary, William surrounding the examination table while Esme, Edward, Alice, Rosalie, and Richard were trying to keep both Bella and Addison calm as they cried.

"What's going on?" Asher asked, but there was no answer. Asher furrowed her brows, "Edward I need you over here." Carlisle called for his adoptive son, "Edward who's over there?" Asher asked as the bronze haired vampire headed for her.

A gasp left Asher's mouth as Edward walked right through her Asher whipped her head around towards the table. Running over she peaked through a small space and her mouth dropped at the sight of herself laying almost lifelessly on the metal table, her bloody wrist was being cleaned by Edward as Carlsile examined her. "What the fuck is going on?" Asher said as she back up from the family and herself.

"You really need to stop almost dying, sweetheart." The familiar voice of her mother caught her attention. "Shouldnt I be turning into a vampire? Jeremy bit me." Asher asked her mother, Amy sighed, "he didnt release venom. He was feeding, there was no intention to turn you." Amy said placing a hand on her daughter's shoulder. "Is this another, I have a choice to live or die?"

"Not exactly. You're body is too weak right know from the loss of blood, it's up to Carlisle right now. But help him as best as you can, Bella isn't the only one that needs you now." Amy said glancing Jasper's way. He was pulled from the table that Asher's body laid. Alicia hugged the blonde vampire, "she's strong Jasper." Was all she said, his state didnt change much, his face still showed so much pain and worry as well as a mixture of hope. Jasper turned to the brunette, his eyes now a dull gold full of emotion.

"What if this time is different?"

"How is she?" Alicia asked Carlisle as he and Jasper exited his office and came into the livingroom. Much to Jasper's dismay he left his fiancee in his adopted father's office upon Carlisle's request.

"Shes stable, she lost alot of blood, but she's stable." Carlisle answered calmly, seeing his family visibly and slightly relax from the information. The room was silent, all those that could just listened to the faint beating of Asher's heart.

"What happened?" Bella's soft voice broke the silence, all attention was then put on her except from Jasper white stood off to the said waiting for the sound of Asher's voice to bring him back to earth. "We werent with her, but when we found her she was barely conscious, she said Jeremy was a vampire and had bitten her." Zachary said, his voice hoarse and distant.

"Shouldn't she turn into a vampire if she was bitten by one?" Bella then asked, everyone turned to Carlisle as he sat down beside Esme putting a loving and comforting arm around her waist.

"Only if the vampire injects their venom. When Jeremy bit her, he almost sucked her dry, his only intention was to feed, not turn her. He would've killed her if the two of you hadn't gotten to her." Carlisle explained turning to Zachary and Alicia.

"So Asher's going to be okay?" Richard asked finally speaking up since he and the other found Zachary and Alicia holding his unconscious niece. Carlisle nodded, "it maybe be a little until she wakes up do to the healing but she heals faster than a human she could wake up sooner than one or two days." The group took in the information, they were glad Asher was going to be okay but they wanted to find Jeremy before he accidentally harms someone else, or kills someone.

An abnormally loud booming sound of thunder shook the Cullen household bringing everyone out of their thoughts. "That sounded louder than usual." Emmett commented from beside Rosalie, another boom shook the house once more.

"I've never heard a thunder storm so loud before." Alicia said looking out the windows seeing a strange circle of grey clouds.

"Because it isnt a normal thunderstorm." William spoke up earning looks from everyone in the room, "what do you mean?" Jasper finally spoke up from his place in the counter far from the others, "he's not happy." William said.

Another loud shakey boom of thunder made Bella jump from beside Edward who grabbed a hold of her hand to comfort her. "Explain please." Bella said moving closer to her fiancee.

"I'll have to let him explain, but just know, this might get messy, unless Asher wakes up now." William said, thunder roared again louder than the times before.

Suddenly the front door of the house swung open, revealing a man, just as he stormed into the living room a gasped came from Carlisle's office causing Zachary and Alicia to head straight for the room, "Stay here Jasper!" Alicia instructed as she ran behind Zachary and the face of the stranger's face was revealed.

"Where the hell is my granddaughter!"
