The Cure

"Do you want some?" Kelly asked us.
"We would LOVE some," I replied.
"What about your salad-"
I cut her off abrubtly
"I'm so hungry right now I could eat a cow!" I said, laughing. It felt so light and happy. I could only imagine what I was going to get myself into once I got home and had to deal with them.

I put the black tank top down, next to a pair of blue jeans. Then studied Emma's face, folding my arms. "What's wrong?.." I asked, I didn't understand why she was acting..or thinking the way she was. And it bothered me somewhat.

"This was the what I got from the desk," I told her. As I handed the small box to her, I kept reciting The Lady of Shalott, occasionally slipping into the French translation out of confusion.

Emma handed me the jewerly box and I opened slowly. Then gasped when I saw that ring that was sitting nicely inside of the velvet case. "But..who?.." I looked up at her with confusion all over my face.

"Either someone is playing a very, very unfunny joke on me, which is doubtful because the handwriting on this note seems genuine, or my brother is back," I said. "And, yes, it is a problem if he is."

I sighed and shut the box, then handed it back to Emma. I got up from my outfit next to me that I had laid out on the bed and picked up the black corsett tank top and my blue jeans, and hung them over my shoulder, then turned to her. "So..what do you think we should do?.." I asked. "I mean..I know this is probably something you'd wanna solve on your own..but I wanna help...in anyway I can.." I told her. I bit my lip and pulled out my cell phone to send Andrew a text message.

Change of plans..Emma's got a problem...I'm gonna stay here and help her with it..maybe you could drop by and we can go out later?. I snapped my phone shut after I sent it to him and put my clothes back on the bed. "Don't worry about me and Andrew..we can always go out later..I wanna help.." I said again. I heard my phone beep and flipped it open, there was a text message from Andrew. It read.

Sure..Dad's got me with him running errands anyways...I'll be there later on...promise.. He sent back. I sighed and put my phone back in my pocket.

"I honestly don't know what to do," I said. "First of all, I have to figure out if he's back, and then I have to figure out what he wants from me. I mean, if it's still the same thing as ever. Basically, I need to find him because if I don't find him first, he'll get me."
I realized how confusing I sounded, and my thoughts were even worse. I kept trying not to think about what had happened the night everything had broken through, the night he'd seen me kiss Adrien because I'd been young and inexperienced and had wanted to know what it was like to kiss someone. And then I'd learned from him a great deal more than what it was like to kiss someone.
I hate him, I thought. I hate him. I hate him.
"And thank you, Jennah," I said. "Thank you for helping with this." With that, I leaned over and pick up the phone.
"Hello?" I said. "Yes, this is room 217. I just want to know who dropped off the package or if had any information as to where it came from."
"Oh, the man who dropped it off is here in the lobby, Signorina," the man said.
No, I thought. "What does he look like?" I asked, praying that it would all be some joke.
"Mm, average height, sturdy build, blond hair, green eyes, very pale skin," the receptionist replied. "Will you be coming down? He is asking for you."
I blinked. Well, it wasn't a joke. "Tell him I'll be down in a minute." I put the phone down and looked at Jennah. "Do you mind coming with me? I don't want to be alone for this."

I nodded immediately at Emma's question and put my clothes back. I decided that I really didn't care what I looked like. A black t-shirt and baggy blue jeans were gonna have to be enough for Andrew, and I was sure he didn't care at all anyways about what I wore.

"Sure..I'll go.." I told her, I grabbed my cell phone and room key, then walked towards the door and opened it slowly. "Ready?.." I asked her, holding the door open slightly. "Hey there.." I heard a voice, I turned to see Andrew, I smiled slightly and giggled at his hand, that was just about to knock on the door. "Hey.." I said with a smile. "We were just about to go downstairs," I told him. Andrew nodded and looked over at Emma. "Yeah...Emma...he's downstairs.." He said to her, then turned back to me.

"Would you mind coming with us?..I wouldn't want to leave you up here by yourself." I said, biting my lip. Andrew smiled slightly and nodded, then walked out of the doorway into the hallway. "Come on Em.." I said, gesturing her out of the door. "You're gonna be fine...nothing's gonna happen.." I said in a promising voice.

"Come on Em.." Brittney said, gesturing me out of the door. "You're gonna be fine...nothing's gonna happen.." she promised.
"Oh, I know," I said quietly. "I'm as strong as he is now, and he's outnumbered."
"Who's he?" Andrew asked.
"Someone I knew when I was human," I replied. No one else spoke as we went down the elevator, and as soon as we entered the lobby I saw him.
That's him, I thought. At that, Charles looked up. His eye flickered briefly to Jennah and Andrew, but they might as well have been decorations in the room for all the further notice he gave them. As soon as he registered the presence of the other two, his eyes fell on me. In spite of myself, I froze. The gaze that was directed at me was angry, accusatory, prying, and somehow gleeful.
"Emma," he said, coming towards me. "Emma," he repeated, drawing it out by holding onto the e and then the m and finally stopping with the a.
"Charles." I said it quickly, shortening the two syllables so that they might as well have been one.
None of us said anything until I finally broke the silence by asking, "How is it that you're not dead?"
"The same way you are," he replied. "I found someone to change me."
"Who?" I asked.
"Does it matter?" he retorted. "I lost the little I could after you left, and then I decided to give up on living. Then I found a better alternative to death, and so I took it."

Andrew and I stood behind Emma as Charles stepped towards her. I stood frozen and tense. I never really liked being around other vampires that I didn't know or have never seen before. I suddenly felt something on my hand. I glanced down and noticed that Andrew took ahold of it and squeezed it gently. It's fine...as long as he doesn't try anything drastic..everything should be okay..just relax.. He said to me in my head. I shut my eyes and took a deep breath, when I let it out I felt more relaxed then I had moments before.

I looked up at him. "You've got..Jasper's power.." He looked down at me confused. "What?.." I shook my head. "My..my brother Jasper..he had the ability to manipulate people's emotions and feelings..." I explained. Andrew smiled and nodded. "Yeah..I inherited that from my father..." He said. I smirked and sighed. "Well, thanks for that..." I said, He smiled "Anytime.." He said, keeping ahold of my hand. I glanced back over towards Emma and Charles. "What do you think we should do?..." I asked. He shook his head. "Just stay quiet and keep an eye on them..." He said, I nodded and watched the other two that were standing in front of us in the hallway of the hotel.

"And having gained eternal life, all you wanted to do was come after me?" I asked.
That made him chuckle. "You're so vain, Emma. Even after all that's happened, even after you claimed to hate what I did to you, you still want me to want you."
My nostrils flared at that. "You're wrong," I said. "Nobody would want that."
He chuckled again. "Maybe," he said, "but then again, maybe not. And I did decide to come after you eventually. I figured out what Adrien was, you know. It was so obvious. But still, I don't see why you went after him. He was so far beneath you. A servant really, after all was said and done."
"And yet he was a better man than you," I retorted.
"How dare you!" Charles hissed, grabbing my chin in his hand. Growling, I reached up and smacked it away.
"Don't touch," I hissed.
He started laughing. "And why shouldn't I? I haven't seen you in years, after all, and I am your brother. Why don't you kiss me?"
I slapped him fully across the face and raised it again, but before I could strike him a third time, he caught my arm and twisted it.
"I'm always stronger," he said. "Never forget it."
"I hate you," I snapped.
"I love you too," he said as he twisted my arm around.

OOC: I Created this and I havent been on here forever!

IC:
Traveling was fun but not as fun as with Jennah, I wish she was here. Going to find Bella was the best thing that I could do to fix this problem. If she told Charlie or anything that she was a vampire, he would have something to do with this. I had finally reached land. It felt so weird, my legs were all jello like. I had found the voulturi and Bella.
"I need to see Bella! Its an emergency!" I said frantic as if I was about to die.
"I'm sorry" replied the guard "There is no one by the name of Bella here."
"Like Bella Swan? The one who was in love with Edward Cullen?" I asked again.
"NO! DON'T YOU DARE SPEAK OF THOSE CULLENS!" He yelled in a deep voice. "BELLA SWAN IS DEAD DON'T YOU KNOW THAT! NOW SCRAM BEFORE I KILL YOU TOO!"
I ran so fast that I didn't even know were I was going. Tears were rolling down my face and I felt like I had to die. I was running and then I did it, I hit a building and it came crashing down. I saw this girl, that looked like Jennah. I ran towards her and then I realized that it was her. She started screaming and then the building hit me. I was unconscious for hours.
******
I woke up to find myself in a hospital room, and the girl who looked like Jennah.
I looked at her and smiled. She looked at me with awe. She was surprised that I wasn't bruised or cut. I looked prefectly fine. I asked her what her name was and she replied with a giggle.
"Jasmine, I'm Jasmine. And you?"
"J.J."
The doctor came over and took some blood. I plugged my nose and looked out the window. It was over before no time. He left and said that I could go. Jasmine came with me. That night I stayed with her at her house. She made me supper and asked me if I new anything about the C.F.V. I replied with a yes. She said that it sounded so scary and that if she met a vampire that she would care for it for the rest of her life. I told her and she was surprised. I think that I might like her and that she was the one girl who cared for me.
