"Ugh, again?"

"You ok?"

I am now that your awake."

You've been out for two days."

"Jesse?"

"He's alright. Mandy is with him now, probably causing more damage to him then the window did."

"You didn't know Rose. No one did. But we are ok, we are all almost healed, including you."

Is this your fancy work again?"

"Oh com'on it's not that bad!"

"Is he.....?"

"Yes. You fought hard Rosalie. He won't be coming back."

"It wasn't me who did it. It was Mandy."

"Nah I wouldn't say that, you sent him to his death...Mandy.......took him for a swim."

"Now what do we do?"

"I have someone you need to meet."

"Rosalie!"

Please sit down Rose."

"Sam told me what happened. I'm so sorry Rose."

Can you ever forgive me?"

"Forgive you for what?"

No one could have known what was to happen. In fact, it should be me who apologises. If it weren't for me coming here you and everyone wouldn't have been in danger."

"Well...if you wouldn't have come here, how would we have ever found your aunt."

Rose, this is your aunt Nora. Your mom's sister."

She has travelled with me to come see you."

"Hello Rosalie."

"I know you."

"I'm so sorry Rosalie, if I had of known you were alive perhaps I cou-"

"That doesn't matter aunt Nora. I'm here now."

"We will leave you two alone for a bit, to catch up."

"How would you like to come with me!?"

I think it's time for me to take some time off work and perhaps you and I can get to know eachother better."

"Aunt Nora. Could you let me think about it first. J....just so much has happened in such a short amount of time. They've been so helpful to me and S....Sam has be-"

You take your time my darling, there's no rush and you don't need to explain anything to me. And if you decide no for the time being...you'll know where I'll be."

"Thank you Nora."

Come in dear."

"Hello, I was just wondering if we should set up a room for you? Will you be staying awhile?"

I think I will for a few days if you don't mind."

"Absolutely, we would love to have you."

"Listen, how bout I go get my things unpacked and you and I can have a few days together. Who knows..perhaps you might make up your mind by then."

"Penny for your thoughts?"

Sam!?"

"Ya?

"What are you going to do now? The pack doesn't have an alpha. Are you going to be going home?"

"Actually, now that you ask. Dad and I have been discussing the next move, and it's already been decided. I'm gonna stay here."

"Really!? does that mean you are taking over Alpha?"

"God no! I feel that role is for someone more fitting."

"Well if not then who?"

"Believe it or not....it will be Mandy."

I believe it. She will make a wonderful Alpha. So you'll be her beta?"

"Something like that. I'll be working with her. So.......thats going to be fun."

"Whats wrong?"

"My aunt asked me to go with her, but I don't know if I should. I mean, I feel like I've made home here, but there's also so much to experience and see, that I want to do."

"Listen to me Rose. Whatever you decide, decide for you and you alone. I of course would hate to see you go, but I would hate it even more if you didn't have the chance to go out and see the world."

"I love you Rosalie Winters, and however far you go....I'll find you. As you know I'm an excellent tracker."

"I love you too Sam."

........... ............. ............

"For practise."

I won't be gone forever, so make sure you keep an eye out on everybody for me."

"You make sure to come find me."

I love you."

"I love you."

"You ready for an adventure of a lifetime?"

"I'm ready."
