I'm going on vacation next week, if I have internet I will write a chapter…if not then I won't. My parents are still indecisive about the hotel. I'm trying to get them to go to the one with free internet…some charge you daily for it…stupid.

"Wow, won't you look at that." Blair said while stepping outside the cabin. It was absolutely breath taking. They were like shooting stars in the sky. Edward came out with her and wrapped his arms around her waist as he looked up at the sky with her. He couldn't get over this eerie feeling that he had. "Oh my God, ones falling here!" Blair couldn't mask her excitement. She's always wanted to see a meteor up close…one that just fell to the ground. "I'm going to get it." She said as she took off into the woods to find where it landed. Edward quickly went after her not wanting her to go off alone.

She quickly found the rock…it landed right by the tree where she buried her brooch. She knew that it had to be a coincidence, but it was still very weird. She went over to the hole where the meteor fell. It was the most beautiful rock that she had ever seen in her life. It looked more like a jewel then a rock though. It was black, and was about the side of Edward's fist. It had jagged glass like edges and seemed to reflect different colors. She noticed there was a glow to it. She reached down to grab it, but Edward's hand went on her shoulder to stop her.

"Don't touch it."

"It's just a meteor rock Edward, it is not like it is going to hurt me. I am a vampire, it might be 300 degrees and it's still not going to hurt my hand."

"We are somewhat vulnerable when it comes to heat and fire Blair." He said with a clenched jaw. There was just something that he didn't like about all of this. There was something that felt off.

"That's only when we have been ripped to pieces Edward. I am still all in one piece and I don't think that anything is going to happen to me." Blair said with a roll of her eyes. Blair touched the rock and she felt a jolt in her body when she picked it up. Her eyes went blank for a moment and then it looked like she woke up.

"Blair…Blair are you okay?" Edward asked while shaking her shoulder a little bit. Blair wore a wiry smile on her face, a smile that Edward has never seen before. There was something different about her, Edward could tell. She looked exactly like the same Blair, but at the same time she looked like a complete and total stranger.

"Of course I am okay Edward. It's just a rock after all." She said while holding the rock close to her. "There's something else that I need to pick up now that I am out here." She said while walking over to the tree. She began to dig and she pulled out a small jewelry box.

"What's that?"

"It is just something special that I have for myself, nothing that you need to be concerned about Edward. Actually, you aren't concerned at all now are you?" She used her powers on him, what was the point of having powers if you couldn't use them?

"Of course I am not concerned Blair, more of an innocent curiosity." He said to her. He felt weird; did she just use her powers on him? He didn't want to think that, maybe she didn't mean to do it.

"I need some time by myself Edward. I think that maybe you should go home, and lay in bed for a while. Don't tell anyone that I have gone though, that wouldn't be a good thing…you will never tell anyone that I left today."

"Okay, I will go home and lay in bed." Edward's face grimaced. "Blair…"

"Don't question me either Edward. You will never speak of this moment again, just go home…there is something that I need to do. You are just going to have to trust me Edward…after all you really don't have another choice now do you?" Edward wanted to scream at that moment, but he couldn't. There was nothing else he could do besides obey her every word. He quickly turned around and left, back to the cabin without Blair and there was not a damn thing that he could do about it.

Blair then took off into the woods out of the city limits and then to a neighboring town. She went to a hotel room with the brooch and rock in hand. She opened the hotel room door where he waited for her.

"Hello Damien…I got it." She said while placing the rock and the brooch on the kitchen counter.

"Cornelia I have missed you." He said while wrapping his arms around her waist. He then began to kiss her. She quickly kissed him back passionately and roughly.

"This is going to have to wait Damien…as much as I want to rip your clothes off right now, it has to wait." She said while biting his lower lip. Damien let out a small growl. "We have a situation."

"What is the situation."

"It is your fucking brother James. He has been talking to Blair…"

"How is that even possible…he is dead."

"That is exactly the problem, he is dead and his ghost is somehow connected to Blair and I have no idea how to get rid of him."

"Doesn't matter anymore though does it? Once we get this meteor cut, then you will be in full command of your body right?"

"As long as I am close to it, I will be in control." Cornelia said as she ran her finger over the stone. "I'm still weak, Damien. It will be another fortnight before I will be powerful enough to completely take over. I need you to get this cut for me." She said while picking up the rock and putting it in his hand. "The lunar eclipse will be the day that I will be the strongest…it is the day that when I wear this rock I will have full control. You have the dimensions I gave you correct?"

"Yes Cornelia, I have not lost them…I have them all." He said while patting his pocket. "I will work on it as soon as you leave. Do you think you have time for me though…I mean I have missed you a great deal?" He said while kissing her neck. She pushed him off of her and he went flying on the couch. She then leaped on top of his like a tigress.

"Is this what you wanted?" She asked as she ripped off his shirt and ran her nails down his chest and to his pants.

"Yes…definitely…." He moaned. She began to kiss him again and her kisses trailed down his chest. She began to unbutton his pants, but she stopped.

"I have to go."

"What…no don't go…damn it Cornelia."

"I feel her…she's waking up. I have to go now." With that she was gone. Damien sat up disappointed, he couldn't wait to have her all to himself. He will be King and she will be Queen, their plan will be set in motion in a mere fourteen days.

Blair was standing in front of the cabin, but she had no idea what just happened. She thought she was just in the woods…she just picked up a meteor and that was all that she remembered. She didn't remember anything else. Edward was standing in front of her with a strange look on his face. It looked like he wanted to say something to her, but the words couldn't come out of his mouth.

"Edward, what is going on? Are you okay?"

"Yes, I am fine." His words said he was fine, but his eyes did not look as though everything were okay. Blair was confused, but Edward would not lie to her…he would never lie to her.

"How did we get here? I thought that we were just in the woods?" Blair wondered if she had another black out…that had to be it.

"I told you that we were vulnerable to heat, you touched it and it must have triggered something…you…you passed out…I…carried you back." His words seemed so forced, it was as though he was trying to say something else but those were the only words that could come out of his mouth.

"I'm so sick of having these black outs, it really must be nothing though. As long as I always wake up right?" Edward just nodded his head. "You look so stressed out Edward, is there something you need to tell me? Where is the rock by the way?"

"We just left it out there, don't worry about it Blair. I think that we should head over to the house." Edward wanted to tell her everything. Everything that just happened, but he literally could not say a damn thing. Blair arrived back to the cabin, well at least someone that looked exactly like her. She told him never to say a word about her leaving, not even to herself. That if asked Blair had a black out and he carried her home. Then it was like a light went out…then when it came back on it was Blair, and she seemed to know nothing about what had just happened. Her powers seemed stronger now, and there was definitely something going on. It was like she had two personalities…something he had never seen before in a vampire, something he didn't even think was possible.

There was nothing that he could do about it either. She was torturing him, making him feel powerless…she could have easily told him to forget everything and he would have. Whoever this other person though inside of Blair was toying with Edward, and was enjoying doing it. Whoever was inside of Blair was pure evil, and Edward was terrified. He didn't know what he was going to do and how he was going to stop it.

"Yeah, I guess we can go over there. I'm feeling kind of weird anyway. It might be good for us to see the others." Blair said while reaching out and taking Edward's hand in hers.

"Blair, please tell me what's going on with you."

"Edward…"

"It's important Blair, I need to know what is going on with these black outs. You have me really worried." He was trying to say things that he knew he could say. There was so much he couldn't say…so much that couldn't even reach his lips. Maybe whatever was inside of Blair was keeping her from saying too much. Using Blair's powers against her, it was the only logical explanation.

"Edward, I really don't understand what is going on. When I black out…it's like I am having a dream or something. It's nothing that is actually real, it's just…weird…I don't even really want to talk about it."

"You know you can tell me Blair…you know that you can trust me." He said while putting both of his hands on her shoulders. He was looking into her eyes willing her to tell him everything. Every detail about the black outs were important to Edward. She shook her head side to side though signaling that she didn't want to talk about it…or maybe simply she couldn't talk about it.

"Edward, they are just silly dreams…"

"They aren't silly though Blair. Vampires are not even supposed to dream because we can not even sleep." Blair knew that he was right, but for some reason she couldn't tell him what her dreams were about. She closed her eyes remembering the one that she just had…her last black out was about James again. She tried remembering every detail of it, seeing if there was anything important about it.

Blair was in the castle again, the same room that she was in before. James was standing there as though he was waiting for her to come back. She felt sorry for him in that moment, sorry for the fact that he was stuck because of her. He seemed to want to help though, she felt as though she could trust him. He might have been obsessed with her before, but she knew that he was loyal to her now.

"Have you been waiting long for me?"

"Time really means nothing for me here…it feels like a long time, but then again it could have only been a couple of minutes. I'm probably not in here with you for a long time, so I should tell you what I need to tell you."

"What is it James."

"The King is my brother…Damien."

"Damien is the one that is doing all of this. I don't know how or why though, you have to find him Blair and put a stop to all of this."

"I don't even know where to begin to look. He has the power to mask everything about himself, there is no way that I can find him."

"You have to go to the Volturi's. I know that you do not know them…and I know that Edward and the Cullen's will not trust them, but they are the only ones that can help you right now Blair. They are the only ones that are going to be able to find James. You have to go to them Blair."

"I'm scare too James. Edward and the others fear that if they find out about me then they are going to want me for themselves. They are afraid that maybe one of them or more will be immune to my powers…and then what? Then I will be trapped…maybe I can fight Damien when the time comes."

"No Blair, this is the future…and I think this is what is going to happen if you sit there and do nothing. I am trying to help you Blair, trying to help you to the best of my abilities…find them. I think it's time for you to go now."

"I will try my best James."

"Don't try…just do Blair." With that she was gone…and now she was where she was at, in front of Edward. She knew that she had to find the Volturi's and a part of her knew that she had to tell them. She knew James told her not too, but she didn't want to lie to them. She had to find them.

"Are you okay Blair?"

"Yes, I was just thinking about something…thinking about my dream. We need to go to your family now. There is something that I need to talk to you all about…together…as a family." Edward nodded his head and they were off into the woods. Edward was dying of curiosity…he wanted to know what Blair had to say. When they arrived back to the house everyone was standing outside still. They seemed solemn, but their mouths turned into smiles when they saw Blair and Edward.

"Hey you guys, we weren't expecting you back so soon." Alice said while giving Blair a small hug.

"I have to talk to you guys about something, do you think we can go inside and talk about it?" Blair asked them.

"Of course you can talk to us, you know that you can come here any time." Carlisle said while walking into the house. Everyone followed behind him and they all went into the living room. Everyone looked up at Blair waiting to see what she had to say.

"I know that this might come as a surprise to some of you…or maybe all of you. I have been having black outs though and I find myself becoming increasingly worried about them. I think that Damien is up to something, don't ask me how I know…I just know. Sometimes in these black out I see things and Damien is up to something foul…we can't find him though. I think that maybe the Volturi's can help us find him though." Everyone was quite for a moment. They were trying to absorb everything that Blair just said. No one was sure what to say at first. The Volturi's would help them, but sometimes their help came with a price. They didn't want to go to them unless they absolutely had to, although right now seemed to be one of those moments.

"Some of them are here…on our shore…we could go to them. Demetri is one of them and maybe he could find Damien…"

"Maybe?" Blair asked Alice.

"He can track anyone if he has met him…doesn't matter what his power is; even if it is the power to hide, but he could only find him if he has met him before. If he has never met Damien, then it could very well prove to be a slight problem."

"Well it is a chance that we are going to have to take. We need to find Damien and we need to find him even if it means making a deal with the devil."

"Blair what have you seen?" Alice asked her. She was curious about her powers. It seemed to be stronger then she could have imagine; she thought her only powers was to tell people what to do…now it seemed like she could see the future as well.

"I really haven't seen much…just death…and he is the cause of it. We just need to find Demetri as soon as possible." Alice dazed off for a moment and everyone looked at her knowing that she had a vision.

"There is no need for us to look for him…they are going to be coming to us. I see him, Jane, and Alec. They will be here tomorrow. I think that maybe Blair should go to the reservation. I think it could be dangerous for Demetri to meet her."

"No, I want to meet them. I think it should be me that should be talking to them. Don't deny me this." Blair couldn't believe that Alice was actually saying that she should stay away from the Volturi's. Blair wanted to meet them, Blair wanted to see if she saw any of them in her dream.

"I think that Alice is right Blair. It would be better if Demetri did not meet you, because once he does he will be able to track you. With your black outs, it could end up being dangerous…you are vulnerable at times. Blair, we are going to be able to handle it…handle them. We will tell them about Damien…and we will just tell them that Alice had a vision. They do not have to know about you." Blair crossed her arms at Edward and she let out a small sigh. She knew that none of them were going to want her there. She knew she could tell them that she had to be there. Blair wasn't going to use her powers though, not against her family.

Maybe they were right. After all Blair knew nothing about the Volturi's. Maybe they were very dangerous…and maybe it was for the best that she did not meet them right away. She should let them handle this. She was just curious about them, there was an itch inside of her…yearning to see them.

"Okay, if you guys think it is for the best I guess that I could spend some time with Bella and the others."

"It is for the best." Edward said while kissing Blair's forehead.

"I think that maybe we should stay here tonight." Blair said to them. "I feel like being around everyone tonight." She said with a weak smile. Why did she feel that soon she would be leaving all of them? She hated this feeling, but it was what her gut was telling her. She had a feeling that she would be leaving them all soon. They seemed solemn as well; they felt that something was going to happen…they felt that something was going to tear this family apart.
