(A/N: I really wanted to finish up Blaze's other stories before I posted onother one... but I didn't want this one to pile in as a scrap like some of my others... I hope you all forgive me!)

I shivered in my sleep. Why was it always too warm for blankets and too cold without them? I groaned and let my brain become a little more conscious... conscious enough to hear the talking around me.

"Is she okay?" Asked a male voice.

"I can still hear her heart beat. She's fine" said another.

"How much longer?" asked the first one again.

"Thirty seconds." A high pitched female voice chimed.

Yeah, this was pretty normal for me by now. Of course I wasn't were I was SUPPOSED to be, and there was only one person I could blame for that. Evi. If anyone sees her, keep her away from my stuff. Chain her up, feed her to your Chihuahua, whatever you think necessary.

(E/N*)

I thought about my next actions for a minute, after all... did I actually WANT to open my eyes and greet previously thought fictional characters that happened to surround me?

I heard a chuckle.

It instantly bothered me, I recognized that sort of laugh from my previous adventure. That was the laugh of someone who could read minds. I clenched my teeth subconsciously.

...vampires.

A low growl sounded immediately after my thought and in mere seconds I was violently shoved against the wall.

My eyes shot open and I growled in response to being handled so violently.

"Hey! Jerk face! I don't like being man handle..." I trailed off partly because of who was in the room, and partly because of the calm feeling that washed over me. I looked around the room calmly taking in every face.

Jasper was on my right, that explained my instant calm... Emmett on my left, both pinning me against the wall with astounding force. Carlisle was in the back, he looked a little concerned. I raised an eyebrow, I suppose I would be too if my two "sons" pinned a human girl against a wall. Esme to the left of Carlisle, she looked confused to say the least. Rose, needed a swift kick in the butt as usual. And Edward... was staring at me shocked. CRAP! That's right he could hear thoughts!

I sighed... there was no getting past that now. I gave the room another sweeping look, something was missing... or someone...

…No Bella?

My eyes widened as I remembered Edward's little gift. He stared at me with shock that instantly turned to anger. In a split second his ice cold hand was at my throat.

"What. About. Bella!" he asked through clenched teeth.

I noticed that Jasper and Emmett had left my sides, giving their brother room, and also leaving me 2 feet in the air being held by my throat. I clawed at Edward's hands. Even though I used all my effort, I knew I hadn't left a single scratch on his pale skin.

"Was...just...obser...vation." I choked out.

"Edward." Carlisle said calmly from the back of the room. Edward let go of me and I slipped down the two feet or so to the floor.

I coughed a few times and rubbed my shoulders as I stood up.

"You'd think you all would be more careful." I said rotating my left arm. "I hope you didn't break anything. I'm not a vampire you know."

I looked up at them as they exchanged glances. Something was wrong.

I held my breath and counted to thirty, I still needed to breath, but that didn't mean anything. I pressed my index and middle finger on my neck.

One, two, three, four, five...still alive. What was their problem?

"Your eyes." Edward said answering my unspoken question.

"What about them?" I asked placing a hand over one eye as if that would help me see their color. "I know they're dark but they aren't red or anything."

I heard Emmett snicker. "They are now."

I gritted my teeth and cussed in five different languages before remembering Edward and his mind reading.

"Sorry about that." I mouthed.

Everyone looked at Edward expectantly.

"I think I'll let her explain." He said calmly "I got nothing intelligible from her thoughts."

I could feel myself turn red... my bad.

"Do you want the whole story?" I asked as nonchalantly as I could "Or just the explanation for my eyes?"

Everyone mulled over it... for roughly three seconds.

"Start with the eyes, and then the whole story." Edward said eying me suspiciously.

"Right." I said, keeping my mind clear. My mind wasn't safe like Bella's.

"The Bella thing is definitely a strike against you." Edward warned, as the rest of his family let out a low hiss.

"Anyway!" I said. Trying to keep composure. "The eye thing...they're contacts, I had to beg my mom to get me colored ones." I doubt anyone bought it.

"You see." I continued. "Me and my friends are huge vampire fans... we RPG and stuff you know? So... yeah." Given circumstantial evidence they couldn't not believe me, my heart still beat and they could hear it. That was one thing they couldn't ignore.

"We'll give you the benefit of the doubt." Edward said. "though we would LOVE to see you take your contacts out."

"They're prescription." I said without missing a beat. "I can't see well without them, you could gang up and kill me while I was visually impaired."

'your welcome.' said a voice in the back of my head.

"yeah yeah." I responded outloud to my thoughts "...oops!" Everyone stared at me confused. Even Edward, though he looked less confused than the rest.

"Whaaat?!" I asked "never talked to yourself before?" I sighed.

"Continue." Edward prodded, ignoring everyone else.

"Oh right… my story." I decided not to give myself pause time to 'think'. "You see I was up visiting a family member, and I decided to walk to the park, it was only a few blocks away anyway." I paused for air. "I lost track of time and it got dark, so I grabbed the stuff I brought with me and headed the direction I thought was home." I paused. "In hindsight I should have been paying attention better. Then I heard someone behind me and I made a run for it… I must have collapsed somewhere along the way." I looked at them apologetically.

"Thanks for finding me I guess." I said finishing up my inpromtu story. "I really should be getting home to my family though… they'll miss me. Though honestly I don't wanna hear the chewing out I'm going to get." I headed towards the door but was stopped by what I assumed to be Carlisle Cullen's voice.

"Do you want me to call your parents to explain what happened?" He asked kindly.

I shook my head. Why did he have to be so nice? "Don't worry about it… in fact I'll call you when I get home." I stopped. "What's your number anyway?"

Carlisle ran off a number and I scribbled it on a scrap piece of paper Alice gave me. I stuffed it in my pocket and thanked them all again before racing out the door.

I sighed as I reached the edge of the drive way. The books never really gave good directions to or from the Cullen residence. Small town though, I could see some buildings in the distance so I headed off toward them.

Once I made it into a more populated area of Forks I checked what Evi had given me for my journey. I reached in my pocket and pulled out something rectangle shaped and slick…

A super pack of Big Red. HAR HAR, Evi. I ripped the top off and stuffed half a stick of gum in my mouth. It would tide me over for a while and hopefully keep me from cussing or anything. I reached in my other pocket where the crumpled up phone number sat. Underneath was my MP3 and some spare batteries, her attempt at keeping me sane I bet. I checked my right cargo pocket. There was a cell phone. Handy… if anyone in MY world would or could pick up the phone… if they were even in this world. I felt in my other pocket. There was my wallet and some cash. I hoped she wouldn't expect to be repaid.

I pulled out my phone and flipped it open finding a text.

Yo Blaze. It's me Evi. Good luck on finding food to eat! The closest McDonalds is in Port Angeles. Hahaha…

That Jerk… I flipped the phone shut… but who was I to complain about a town I've never been in. I had gum to tide me over anyway until I could come up with a plan B… plan B… I snapped. What was that restaurant Charlie liked here in forks?!

I did some wandering around for a while, trying to find that restaurant… I looked at the sky it really was over cast, I was just glad it hadn't rained… I assumed it was shortly after four being as when I last checked my phone it was one. I had been wandering a while. I found a cozy looking restaurant and I walked in and got something to eat. I checked my wallet found out Evi had left me enough money for a few days.

So now I was full, reasonably happy, and my closest family were still miles and miles away. I leaned against the side of the restaurant, more or less for some believable background noise and called Carlisle.

It only rang once.

"Hello?" Carlisle answered.

"Hey, I was calling to let you know I made it home safe. I would have called sooner but I had to talk my way out of trouble, and I usually can't talk my way out of a paper bag." I joked.

He laughed on the other end. I really did like Carlisle.

"Well. I just wanted to let you know so you wouldn't worry over me." I said cheerily "I gotta go now. I'll talk to you later." He said a quick "Bye" before hanging up. I was pleased with my bluffs, they had bought me some time.

I walked around aimlessly for a while before I came across a beach. I was close to La Push I assumed. Well at least I hoped I was, it was getting dark, quick.

I walked up the beach looking for any sort of shelter for the night… This was the first time Evi left me with no place to go… I sighed sitting down on the cool sand. I crossed my legs and dug in the sand letting the tide fill up the hole. I heard a howl rise up out of the trees. I shuddered. I was in werewolf territory, with red eyes, and I probably smelled like vampire on top of that. A sure fire way to get myself killed.

I stayed close to the rock as the sound of walking and howls got closer. I hid in the shadows and closed my eyes, listening to every sound and judging whether or not to run. I felt something cold and wet push against my hand and looked down at a large sandy colored dog.

"Great." I huffed. "Seth… that is your name right? Seth?" the dog looked at me confused and then nodded.

I shook my head. "I'll explain later… but quickly. Do I look like a vampire?"

The hair on his back rose and he showed his teeth.

"Shhh don't growl!" I said holding a finger to my mouth. "I'm not… they're contacts." I lied pointing to my eyes. He sniffed the air and cocked his head to the side letting out a whine.

"I know I know. I smell like vampire… I was with the Cullens a while." I explained. "I know you can hear my heart beat, you know I'm human right?" He nodded again.

"By the way. My name is Blaze." I told him, giving him a scratch behind the ear.

I sat down in the sand and petted his fur absently, another howl sounded.

"Oh yeah. I nearly forgot. Seth, you did let them know it was safe right?" He nodded in response and then let out a whine.

"Hey, enough with the cryptic stuff, I can only speak dog so well you know." He let out a dogs version of a laugh. "Yeah glad you find it funny." I said leaning my head back against the rock. "Hey, you don't mind if I crashed here right? Just make sure the pack doesn't try to rip me up that could be a bloody mess kay?" I patted his head as he gave me another low whine.

"Hey what did I say about the cryptic stuff!" I opened one eye to glare at him and patted his head again. "I just don't wanna answer your question wrong is all. Like I said, I barely passed dog language 101." He laughed again before turning running off.

There went my company. I leaned my head up against the rock again and drifted.

"Hey." the voice of a boy woke me. He shook my shoulder lightly.

"Yo, ahm…" I rubbed my eye to help clear my vision. "Seth?" He nodded. I rolled my eyes.

"I can understand you now. You know that right." I asked, sitting up a little better. He smiled.

"Sorry, force of habit." He amended. "But hey, you never answered my question."

"Because I no sprechen de hund, you know."

"I thought you did a good job."

"That was pure luck mixed with a lot of dog experiences." I smiled.

"Right, so why are you sleeping here?" He asked looking down at the sand.

I glared at him.

"I liked you better as a dog." I said rather coldly. He looked at me sadly, his head drooped. I laughed in response. "only because it's more awkward to pet you as a human."

We both laughed for a minute before the cold made me shiver again.

"Is it really that cold?" He asked pulling me into a hug, It was like hugging a spaceheater minus the burns.

"Only to people who run below 108°" I said sarcastically.

He gave me a confused how-do-you-know-that look and I sighed. "I'll explain later."

"You got off subject again." he said "You still didn't answer my question."

"Sorry." I yawned, I would check the time… but I was to lazy. "Right," I decided to get to the point. "I'm sleeping here because I have no family here and no where to go." I sighed, keeping it simple. Evi really left me with no home this time.

"What about the Cullens?" He asked "You could have stayed with them right?"

I shook my head. "I scared them a little… like I did your pack." I was starting to feel tired again, I don't last long if I'm too tired. "I'll explain tomorrow…" I said before passing out.

Stupid warm werewolves and their warmness.

(E/N* That be Evi's Note! Hahahaha! As if pathetic human motives such as feeding me to a Chihuahua can stop me! Bwahahahaha!)

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter, review if you did. n.n
