Hey. Did you notice that I change the cover for this story, do you like it or did you like the other one? That's all I wanted to know, so go and start reading this chapter. Thanks.

Ed's POV two weeks earlier

Ed opened the door to their hotel room. He walked in with Al close behind. Al moved to the bookshelves to pick a book while Ed went to the bedroom. They never said anything to one another which made Ed a little sad. Ed opened the door to the bedroom and walked in. He turned the lights on and closed the door. Ed leaned heavily on the door. Things have changed between the two Ed could tell and he hated it, but most of all a few months ago Ed would have never lied to Al, he would never go behind his back, but that is exactly what he was doing.

Ed stopped leaning on the door and moved to the desk. Ed searched the desk until he found what he was looking for a pen and paper. Ed sat down on the chair and began to write on the piece of paper. While doing so Ed thought about what he was doing what he was going to do from that point on? It felt unusual and wrong going behind Al's back. Al should know what was going on, what Ed was going to do because Al was usually the one that stopped Ed from doing reckless thing. Ed finished writing the note. Ed folded the piece of paper and put the note on the desk where Al would be able to see it. He got up off the chair and went to his suitcase and changed. He put on a black top, black pants and put his hair up.

The reason he got change was so that he didn't look suspicious walking out of the room. He didn't what Al to figure out that he was up to something and ask about it. Ed walked to the door; he looked back to the desk where the note was. Ed took a deep breath. He wondered if he was doing the right thing. If keeping Al and everyone out of this, well for a little while at least. The note will buy Ed time. Ed knew Al no matter what Ed told him Al would still look for him.

That made Ed smile a little bit knowing that no matter what happened Al would always be by his side. Then, the smile faded. Ed thought about what he was going to do right now. He knew that he was probably going to kill someone. Their blood stained on his face and hands. Ed shivered a little at the thought. Ed wished he could feed before he left, but he was still getting used to sleeping during the night so he didn't have time to feed. He was now regretting it. He should have gone out before they left. If he killed someone Al was going to hear about it and instantly know that it was Ed. Ed took a deep breath.

Part of him wished that he could tear up the note and forget that he ever wrote it in the first place, but there was another part of him that knew he was doing the right thing. Ed couldn't do anything about it now he had to get going. There was no turning back now. He was going to find Michael and find out why he wanted him, but Ed wasn't going to let any vampire use him to get their freedom back. He wasn't going to be used as a tool. Ed opened the door and turned off the lights. He saw Al sitting on the couch reading a book. Ed walked past the couch.

"Al, I'm going out for a walk." Ed said calmly.

"Brother, you don't have to lie to me about where you're going". Al said, putting down the book and looking at Ed.

Ed didn't look at Al he was looking at the door. Ed had completely forgotten. He was used to lying about where he was going it was strange to have someone know exactly what he was doing. Ed frowned. He didn't like someone knowing that he was going to feed some innocent person and that they might die.

"Sorry Al I guess old habits die hard". Ed muttered as he opened the door and walked out.

Ed closed the door behind him and sighed. He just hoped that he would have time to feed on someone and get out of town before Al finds a note. Ed walked down the hallway and stairs. The only noise he could hear were the soft snoring of people that were staying here and his automail leg squeaking. The hotel was still and quiet, it almost felt like he was back in central, when he couldn't walk in the sun.

The night always made him feel more lonely. Ed opened the front door of the hotel. A soft cold wind blew as Ed open the door. He looked to his left and then to his right. There was no one, good. He didn't want anyone to see him. If someone did, then they would ask him why he was out so late or the information could somehow find a way back to Al. Ed dashed from the front door across the road and into a dark alleyway, where the shadows could hide him.

Once hidden in the shadows and sniffed the air and listen to his surroundings. Ed wanted to find someone as quickly as he could and get out of – his thought where cut off by the smell blood and the sound of someone breathing. Someone was close to him, probably at the end of the alleyway.

Ed feels his throat go dry and he could feel his sharp fangs in his mouth. Damn it. Ed didn't like where this was going. He didn't want to lose control and kill someone. Without realizing it Ed's body was moving on its own. He was walking closer and closer to the smell. Ed couldn't stop himself, his mind was going foggy every moment that passed by. His walking was slow and unsteady. Ed bumped into a wall and the fog lifted only a little. Ed slid down the wall and leaned heavily on it. His breathing was coming out short and fast. He was losing control and fast.

He couldn't escape what was to come and that made it even worse? He had to feed no matter what. Someone was going to die at his hand and he couldn't do anything about it. Ed got his breathing under control. He got up off the floor and began to walk toward the person. If he didn't feed now, then he was sure to lose control later. Ed got the end of the alleyway. The alleyway led out to the street that was lined with each side with houses. In the middle of the streets was a woman.

Her back was to Ed and she was looking up at the stars. She didn't seem to notice Ed. Ed gulped. The fog was coming back, it clouded his senses. He couldn't think straight. Every cell in his body was telling him to leap out and drink every last drop of blood from the girl's body. Ed was trying with all his might not to do that, but he was failing. Ed's legs began to move. Ed walked out of the alleyway and up to the girl. Ed was losing the fight to stay in control. Ed was standing behind her. The inner battle was done and Ed lost.

Ed was ready to take her by surprise, ready is the sink, his teeth into her neck and drink all of her blood. His eyes were glowing crimson red when everything went black and Ed fell to the ground with a thud. Standing above Ed was a man holding a syringe.

"That will keep him down for a while". The man said. The woman turned around with a blood bag in her hand.

"Did you really have to do that"? She asked in a soft, almost sad voice.

"If you mean knock, him out, then yes, I did, be glad that I had the dignity to use a syringe not my hands."The man said moving to pick at.

"But" – "no butts Rosalie, he is just the means of getting our freedom back, nothing more". The man said strictly. He began to walk towards the alleyway which Ed had just come out of.

"William, he is still just a kid". Rosalie said quiet and gentle. William stopped.

"He may just be a kid, but if he is as innocent as you claim, then why does Michael want him? Why does Michael have us running around like chickens with their head's cut off to find him, never has Michael done this before, so this kid is either a big threat to Michael or he has done something worthy of 10 death sentences." William said as he began to walk again.

"Or maybe this is all just one big game to him." Rosalie said quietly as she followed William.

Sometime later, Ed's POV

Ed woke up with a headache.

What happened? Ed thought.

He tried to remember what happened, but he was coming up blank. He could remember that he was out in the town trying to find someone to feed on and then he came upon the girl and then everything went black. Eyes went wide and he bolted right up. He could have, he couldn't have lost control. Ed felt a rush of panic come over him. How long was he out for? Did he feed on her?

Did he kill her? All of Ed's thoughts stopped abruptly. This wasn't the stone streets of the town, he was sitting on. He was sitting on a wooden bench in a ... wagon? It was. He could tell that he was moving. Just where the hell was he, and where the hell was he, going? He turned his head to see another wooden bench with someone sitting on it. It was a woman, the same woman he saw in the middle of the street.

She was wearing a pink dress that went to her knees and she had blond curly hair that came to the middle of her back. He felt a wave of relief come over him. He didn't kill her, but why was she here? Something clicked and Ed finally realized what had happened. She was a reason why he was here. Ed already knew where they were going. They were headed for Michael. Ed had to find a way out of here. He couldn't let her take him to Michael, not without a fight.

"Oh, it looks like he's up". She said in a sweet voice.

Ed looked beside her to see someone that he didn't know that was there. Ed's eyes went wide. The person sitting, on the bench beside her was Doctor Shane. At first Ed felt shock. What was he doing here, then Ed slowly realized what Shane was truly doing here.

"Hello Edward, it's good to see you again". Shane said as if nothing had happened and he was Ed's friend.

"What the hell". Ed snarled at Shane.

Shane sighed. "So, you figured it out". Shane said.

"So you're telling me that you're a" – "that I'm a vampire, yes Edward I am." Shane said cutting Ed off.

Ed felt rage. He should have seen this coming. Then, Ed thought about it, was there anything to protect this outcome. Yes, there was. Ed thought back to when he first met Shane. Shane hid behind the door and when Ed walked into the house, there was an order, Ed thought that it was coming from the dirt and grime that was in the house, but maybe it was there put there on purpose. Just like all the bookshelves in the room. It could have easily explained as to why there were no windows, but what really got Ed was where Shane kept patients. He kept them down in the basement. That way Shane didn't have to worry about the sun or the patients asking why there was no sun in the room, if there were patients at all. An eerie thought popped into Ed's mind. Shane could have easily lied about being a doctor. Then everything that happened the past day was all a set up. Ed could feel his anger rising.

"So, you brain washed everyone in the town into thinking that your doctor. Did you really have patients in the basement? Was this all part of some sort of plan to me kidnap me and take me to Michael. Ed yelled".

He couldn't believe that Shane had tricked him and Al into thinking that he was really a doctor.

Shane sighed "no, yes, and no". Shane said.

Ed looked at Shane. "What"? Ed said, confused.

"You asked me questions and I answered the questions. No, I didn't brainwash anyone into thinking I was a doctor. I was really the doctor of the small town, for some time now." Shane said.

"So if you're telling the truth, then why would you leave the town without a doctor"? Ed said. He figured if Shane really did care about the safety of the town, he wouldn't just leave the town without knowing that they were safe.

"I left my house in ruin so that whoever stumbled upon my house, which most likely was going to be your brother, would notify someone, most likely being the government and they will make sure that there is a doctor in the town while they look for me." Shane said as he fixed his glasses.

Ed crossed his arms." Fine, but you said that you had patients in your house where are they and aren't you worried that if the government is involved then, they will find us." Ed said.

"My patients were sent home without knowing what happened, all they remember was going asleep in my house and then waking up in their own. As for the government, they won't find us that easy." Shane said.

Ed could feel his heart sink. If that was true the Al and everyone else wasn't going to find them any time soon. Ed was fishing around for detail. He wanted to know exactly what type of situation he was in so that he could figure out how to get out of it. Ed only just realized his hands weren't chained up and he still had both arms. Ed found that puzzling. Shane knew that Ed could do alchemy with only a clap of his hand.

He would think Shane would do everything possible to keep his hands apart. So why didn't he? Ed knew that Shane didn't simply make a mistake, no Shane had a reason as to why, but what. Ed could figure out why Shane hadn't chained him up.

"It looks like you have a lot of things on your mind. You can tell us, we do have a lot of time." The girl that was sitting beside Shane said.

Ed had completely forgot that she was there and what she said was true. Ed did have a lot of things on his mind like what was Shane planning, did he feed last night, how was he going to get out of this and many more?

"By the way, my name is Rosalie". Rosalie said with a kind smile.

Rosalie seemed different from all the other vampires Ed had met; it was kind of nice to see a vampire act kind. Ed sighed.

"Fine, the first thing on my mind is why my arms aren't chained up. Shane you know that I can do alchemy was just a clap my hands." Ed said, looking at Shane.

"I thought that you would have figured it out by now you did realize that I was a vampire in two seconds, but if you must look at your hand." Shane said, pointing at Ed's hand.

Ed left his hand to his face. What did his hand have to do with this, and then Ed realized it his ring wasn't on his finger. Ed quickly looked at the other hand, but there was no ring. They had taken it. Ed looked around the wagon to see if there were any windows to tell him if it was day or night, but there was none.

Ed couldn't tell if it was day or night that means that if Ed tried to escape, then he could be walking to his death. Plus, he didn't know where they were, which means if he did escape and didn't get burnt he would have to find shelter and fast. If they were miles away from the nearest town, then Ed would have nowhere to spend the time when the sun comes up.

"I see that you finally realized exactly what position you are in. You won't be able to escape this wagon without the fear of being burned alive." Shane said.

"Who has my ring and there is one flaw in your plan. The person driving, the wagon will have to get some sleep sometime, so when you switch I could tell exactly what time of day it is and I can make a plan to escape." Ed said with confidence.

Ed knew that telling them this could cost him his chance at escaping, but he needed to know just exactly how much they have thought this out. How Shane answered this question will tell Ed how much they've thought about this plan and if there were any loopholes.

"You thought about everything, but were smarter than that. We'll just have to knock you out when the time comes that way your sense of time be even more messed up." Shane said as he glared at Ed with a smirk on his face.

Ed grinned his teeth damn they had thought this plan out more than he had thought.

"Who has my ring?" Ed asked.

"Not telling." Shane said.

"The person driving, the wagon, William, my husband, he is the one who has your ring because none of us can walk in the sun". Rosalie said.

Shane looked at Rosalie with shock.

"You were always too trusting, why would you tell him?" Shane said, shocked. Rosalie looked at Shane.

"Because he is smart he would have figured out that the ring wasn't with us, that would be too easy and plus he can't get it." Rosalie said quietly.

"The ring can be exchanged between vampires?" Ed asked.

Shane nodded. "Any vampire can wear the ring." Shane said.

"Why don't you just make your own with vampire alchemy. I know that you can use medical alchemy, so why don't you just make one." Ed asked.

"Who told you about vampire alchemy in the first place?" Rosalie asked.

Ed didn't like how she asked that question. He didn't know why but he got a bad feeling about this.

"No one, I just found some books on it and that's how I learned it, why?" Ed asked narrowing his eyes.

Rosalie and Shane both looked shocked.

"Let me get this straight, you just happen to find some books on vampire alchemy and you just did it." Shane said with disbelief.

Ed nodded. "Why?" Ed asked.

He didn't like where this was going. They knew something about vampire alchemy that Ed didn't, but they were acting like it was a bad thing.

"You really want to know." Rosalie said in a quiet voice.

"Yes." Ed demanded.

"Michael banned the use of vampire alchemy, only trusted people were able to use it. He took all the books from everyone that had used it and even kill people because they wouldn't give up the books and knowledge. There were rumours that Michael didn't get all the books and that some were still floating around. If someone was caught doing vampire alchemy then, they were killed on the spot." Rosalie said.

"Maybe that's why Michael wants you. You do have the ring that can only be created with vampire alchemy." Shane said.

"But I don't know all I knew was that it was a dead art." Ed said.

"Someone told you about vampire alchemy didn't they?" Shane said.

Ed looked at Shane, wondering if he should tell him about Lilith, the person that turned his life upside down. He got nothing to lose, she was dead after all.

"It was the person that turned me into a vampire, her name was Lilith and she told me about vampire alchemy. She also had a lot of books about it." Ed said, crossing his arms. He didn't like talking about her, even though she was dead. She was a whole reason that Ed was now a vampire.

"I don't know why, but that name sounds familiar." Rosalie said. "I would have to ask William about it later."

"Now knowing that the person that turned you knew vampire alchemy and has a lot of books on it, maybe that's why Michael is after you. Maybe you know something that Michael doesn't and that's why or..." Shane trailed off.

Ed sighed." So, you don't know why Michael wants me either." Ed said a little disappointed.

After that no one really said anything. It was quiet except for Shane's mumbling. He was trying to figure out why Michael wanted Ed and by the looks of it, he wasn't getting anywhere. Ed sat there thinking. There was nothing else to do. There were so many questions that he had, but he knew they couldn't answer them probably didn't want to. The questions were eating away at him, but there was one question that was nagging at him more than others.

"What did you guys do to double-cross Michael?" Ed asked.

"We didn't double-cross him, no, William didn't do what Michael wanted so Michael casts us away and called us traitors." Rosalie said with a sad look on her face. Her eyes showed pain. "In order for you to get it, I would have to start from the beginning." She said.

Ed was shocked that she was really going to tell him what they did. By this time Shane had stopped his mumbling.

"Rosalie, you don't have to tell him, you know." Shane said.

"I know, but I think deserve to know. We did trick him and kidnapped him after all. The least we can do is tell him why." Rosalie said with a sad smile.

Ed look at her, wondering what happened, but he knew that it wasn't his place to ask.

"You know you don't have to tell, it was a question, and I was kind of surprised when you said that you would tell me. I thought you would to turn down the question." Ed said kind of awkward.

"No, I want you. I think you will help you get a better understanding of what Michael is capable of." Rosalie said.

She took a deep breath. Ed could see a mixture of emotions flash across her face. Anger, sadness, regret, and something that Ed couldn't place his finger on maybe happiness, but that didn't make sense.

"It's been 30 years since I last saw the sun." Rosalie said.

Ed couldn't imagine what it would be like to live in the dark for 30 years, not be able to go outside in the daytime, but most of all not being able to feel the warmth of the sun on your skin. He knew the feeling all too well.

"I grew up in a small town. My family was neither poor nor rich. Being in a small town everyone knew everyone. There was this boy that I would always hang out with and his name was Conner. He was a sweet, kind even. When I was 19 he asked me to marry him and said yes not knowing what was in store for me?" Rosalie's expression grew dark. "The first year. Everything was fine. I couldn't ask for anything more, but one day it all changed. His friend was murdered, the police didn't know how or who had done it. That's when he snapped. A week after his friend died, he came home drunk and started yelling, cursing, and beating me. I couldn't do anything, mostly because I thought that it would pass, I thought that this was a one- time thing and nothing more. "

"I thought he had all this rage bundled up inside him because the police couldn't do a thing and he needed to take his anger out on something, and that something so happened to be me. After that night I didn't think any less of him because I thought everyone deserved a second chance, but I was wrong. After that night something changed, something was off about him it made the hairs on the back of my neck stands up. A week later he started beating me again, but this time he wasn't drunk, he was fully aware of what he was doing. This time I fought back and yelled at him. I wanted to know why he was doing this. All he did was smile back and said that it was fun. The man I knew was gone; he was replaced with a monster that didn't care who he was hurting."

Rosalie stopped to wipe some tears away. Ed could tell that this was very hard to talk about. He wanted to tell her that she didn't have to tell him this anymore, if it was too hard for her, but he knew that she would say no. Ed couldn't understand why she was telling him her past. She said that it was to show what Michael was capable of, to make him aware of the kinds of things he could do.

Ed admired her bravery for telling him her past, but it's been 30 years. Ed didn't believe that time could heal every wounded, no time made it worse because you have to live with the guilt and pain. That pain could never be erased not with time, not with anything one can never forget the past, but if they can overcome it that is a different story maybe that's what Rosalie was doing, trying to overcome her past to move forward. So that when she gets her freedom back, she can forget the past and focus on the future.

"Every night, he would beat me, he told me that I couldn't tell anyone if I did, then I would be beaten 10 times worse than I have been in the past. Conner would always have me by his side and it seemed like he could be the kind, gentle soul I fell in love with around other people, but when we were alone he turned into a monster. One night, I couldn't take it anymore. I thought there was nothing left to lose. A couple weeks ago people started turning up dead with their bodies drained of blood and two holes in their neck. The police thought that it was the same murder that had killed Conner's friend."

"So, I came up with a plan. I was to of a coward to pull the trigger myself and I didn't want my family to feel regret because they weren't able to do anything about it. I didn't want them to feel like they were responsible for my death because I was the reason that they never found out. Conner told me what would happen if I ever tried to tell anyone. I was scared, I was already getting beaten and if I tried to tell someone and Conner found out that I would be beaten harder than the last time maybe that's why I could couldn't pull the trigger."

"I was afraid of what would happen if he found me trying to pull the trigger. I couldn't imagine what he would do to me and I didn't want to. If I died, but the murderer's hands, then my family would never know what Conner did to me. So that night I snuck out of the house and look for the murder that was the night that my life changed forever. I walked around the town trying to find the murderer, it was almost dawn and the thought about going back to Conner, and I couldn't."

"Why didn't you run away? If you didn't want to go back there, then why not run away." Ed interrupted Rosalie.

"Where else can I go, I have never been outside the town, never travelled anywhere. I don't know what a train was until some time ago. If I ran away, I wouldn't last, not to mention the nights there can get really cold. If I did decide to run away and I would have to go back to the house anyway. I didn't pack anything with me." Rosalie said.

She did have a point. Ed thought.

"Fine, continue." Ed said.

Rosalie nodded. "That was when I heard a scream. I rushed to where I heard the scream that's when I saw him, William, the murderer.

He was draining the life out of a young woman that was in his arms. I couldn't move I was frozen in place with fear, the same emotion I felt every day of my life. It was strange, I wanted this, I wanted to die and here I was staring death right in the face. The murderer didn't seem to notice me until the girl was dead. I stood there not moving an inch. The girl dropped to the floor and he turned around to face me. His eyes were a crimson colour and he had blood all over his mouth. I asked him if he could kill me and, then Conner found me and ran to my side acting like a caring husband."

"That's when he saw the girl lying dead on the street. Conner knew that he found the murderer that murdered his best friend. I could see the anger that displayed itself on his face. He ran up to the murder, saying that he had to avenge his friend's death, that's when the murderer moves so fast that Conner tripped over the dead body and felt the ground. He tried to get up, but he wasn't fast enough and the murder swung him. Conner hit the concrete wall of the building heard. Conner tried to get up, but by that time William was on top of him and – "Rosalie had tears rolling off her cheeks and onto her dress.

Ed thought it was strange that she would be showing compassion to someone that had hurt her. Ed knew that William killed Conner, but shouldn't Rosalie be glad that she was free that she was no longer bound by him.

"Why are you crying, shouldn't you be happy." Ed asked.

Personally, he didn't like killing, but there were some people that deserve to die for their actions.

"Just because he did wrong, shouldn't make me happy that he dies." Rosalie said in between sobs.

"Trust me, I ask her the same question and she said the exact same thing to me. Over the years I've known Rosalie, I learned that she hates killing and violence. She feels that no matter who they are, no matter what they've done they don't deserve to die. It can sometimes get her into trouble. She feels bad about everyone and everything, some people take a vantage of that and uses her sympathy to get what they wanted all the while she doesn't know even know that they had tricked her. She just takes that she was doing a good deed. "Shane said, looking at Rosalie then back at Ed.

"You can continue your story when you're ready." Shane said to Rosalie.

Rosalie took a deep breath. She nodded her head, "I'm ready." She said.

"Once he was done with Conner, William erased my memories of what happened. I was left at the crime scene not knowing what happened. The police were very interested in me; apparently I was the only person that was ever left alive. They wanted to know what happened, but I couldn't tell them because I didn't know what happened myself. "

"That night I stayed with my family. My dad was working as one of the police officers that were working on the case. I couldn't sleep so I wandered into my father's office and found the case files that have photos of the crime scene in it.

I looked through them, I was confused as to why I couldn't remember what happened, but at the same time I didn't know if I wanted to remember. I didn't want to see the murder, killing someone. I went to bed that night and I remembered everything. Remember why I went out in the first place, why Conner was there and how he was killed."

"I thought about telling someone what happened, giving the police the murderer's identity, but something stopped me. I wanted to know why he didn't kill me, why and how did he erase my memories, and what he was."

"I knew that he wasn't human and I wanted to know what he was. So, I didn't tell anyone and the next night I went out looking for him. I didn't find him; I didn't think I was going to find him the town was crawling with police officers. One wrong move and he could have been caught. After a couple of nights I finally found him. He was waiting for me because he knew I was looking for him. He knew that his mind control wouldn't last he knew that something would trigger my memory. He thought that it was because he had killed my husband and that was why I was looking for him to take revenge."

"I told him that that wasn't it and I said thank you. William was taken back; he had never had anyone, let alone a human say thank you to him. I asked him why he had let me go and he said it was because I had asked him to kill me. He liked the thrill of the kill and seeing the fear on the person's face as he kills them he knew that I wouldn't give him that, and that I would die with a smile face, he didn't like doing good things for people. I asked him what was and he just laughed? He said don't push your luck, I am letting you live."

A small smile played on Rosalie's lips.

"He lets me go along with my memories, but it was a very persistent girl. I wanted to know what he was so every night I would sneak out of the house to look for him. There was something about William that was mysterious, he wasn't like anyone else and I wanted to know more. For some time he kept pushing me away, not sure why I was looking for him or following him. Over months we got to know each other and that's when I found out what he was.

"I wasn't scared and I didn't think any less of him. I know why he was killing people. He said that it was because he didn't care about people and that's why, but I knew that wasn't it, he had to feed on people for their blood in order to survive. I asked him to turn me because I was tired of the same old thing I wanted a challenge. I wanted to forget about the past and what happened and moved on, do something different. William said being a vampire was both a curse and a blessing. I didn't know what he meant until some time ago and he was right. Being a vampire was both a curse and a blessing. "

"We were going up one night when William had to go meet Michael for something. William told me that he worked for Michael and that he had to do what Michael wanted or else. William also said that he was someone you want on your side. The next night I met up with William and asked him what Michael asked him to do. I wanted to know so badly, but once I heard what Michael wanted, I wish I didn't ask. Michael asked William to kill my family because my dad was getting too close to finding out the truth. William didn't understand the reason that he had to kill them, he could just erase their memories and everything would be good."

"Michael found out about us and he told William that to prove that he was still loyal to Michael he had to kill me and my family. Michael also knew that William would never turn me so he didn't have to worry about his plan backfiring. William didn't want to kill me or my family. He never thought in a million years that he would never want to kill anyone. He loves it, but he also fell in love with me. I was the first human to ever ask him to kill and not show fear around him and to care about him. William made a choice and he chose me so he decided that we would run away together."

"That way Michael couldn't use William anymore. That night we packed our things and headed out. We got to the edge of the town when we were stopped by Michael. He knew that William wouldn't do what he told him to do so he had to come out and do it himself. I was shocked when I heard that Michael had killed my family. William never told me that my family would be killed either way. William thought he could take Michael on, but it was over before it even happened. I learned that Michael never liked showing his true power until the time was right."

"I could see why that way vampire would underestimate Michael and then when they betray him or try to kill him, they were in for a big surprise and that was what happened to William. He underestimated what Michael could do. William was thrown back with a lot of force and then Michael came up to me. I thought I was going to die that he was going to kill me. I was only half right. Michael fed me his blood and snapped my neck. I found out the reason why he did that, why he turned me, it was a punishment for William. Michael turning me was only beginning of what was to come."

"He knew that William didn't want to turn." Rosalie said with hate and anger.

"Michael now considered me and William traders and when the time comes we will die." Rosalie said as she looked Ed.

"When you go and meet Michael please be careful. He is someone you don't want to make an enemy."

"This is where I come into the story. Shane said, fixing his glasses.

"By the time all that was over it was close to sunrise. William didn't have time to go all the way back into town and find shelter also he didn't want people to start panicking. Bring a dead person into town and then someone seeing, that dead person come back to life will start an uproar so William and I was so close friend so he brought her to my house which was located close to the town border. Once he brought her to my house we waited until she woke up. We told her what being a vampire would like. Sadly, once Michael's figured out that I was helping them, he said that I was a traitor. When William came to my house he didn't tell me that Michael was after. Some days I was that I had kicked them out of my house when she woke up, but others it was so worth it."

"I was the one that suggested that we should find you and bring you to Michael." Shane said.

Ed was shocked by this. He never thought that Shane was one who would do that.

"Why." Ed asked.

"Because I was tired of waking up every day and wondering if it was my last. That's why. Michael holds, mine, Rosalie's and William's and many more live in his hands. To Michael this is one big game and when the game gets boring he will kill one of us to spice things up. William was on board with the idea, but Rosalie wasn't. She didn't like the idea of treating one life for another. She rather be killed by Michael, but she didn't have a choice. It was either stay in their house alone or come with us and she chose to come with us." Shane said.

"You know you two are basically one and the same you both care about other people's lives." Shane was looking at Rosalie, who was sitting quietly on the bench, looking at the floor.

"Are you saying that you don't care about people I thought you were a doctor." Ed said a little angry.

He didn't understand Shane. He was a doctor that helps people; that cure people and yet he said that he didn't care about them. Shane sighed.

"You see, Edward, before I was a vampire I wanted to be a doctor, I studied really hard to become one before I before I could I was turned into a vampire and couldn't become a doctor because had I was around blood and I couldn't control myself. I would have killed every patient that's why moved to the same small town is William and Rosalie lived in and that's why I was living on the outskirts of this town. I did kill people add, every vampire does, it's what we do, but once I was named a trader by Michael I didn't want to die without doing something I love so that's why moved. I wanted to do at least one thing I wanted to do when I was human so I became a doctor. At first it was hard, but I learned how to control myself." Shane said.

Ed let all this information sinks in. At first she was shocked by what Rosalie told him. To him, they did nothing wrong. If Michael never told William to kill her family then they wouldn't be here right now. It was Michael's fault that this happened. Ed felt anger toward Michael, but mostly Ed felt angry at himself. Just as Shane said, all of this was a game to him and Ed had walked right into all this. He should've gone back to central and tell the Colonel or someone about what happened, and then maybe he wouldn't be here. Ed looked up at Rosalie.

"So, you don't like killing people." Ed said.

"No, I don't like feeding on someone, it just feels so wrong." Rosalie said, looking up from the floor and looking at Ed.

"Then how do you feed?" Ed asked.

"I drink blood from a blood bag, it isn't as good as the other stuff, but it's better than feeding on someone." Rosalie said.

"So that's what you used to lure me to you." Ed muttered.

"Well, how did you figure that out and how did you know that we lured you somewhere?" Shane said.

"How I figured it out was that this whole time I didn't feel like I was going to lose control not like what I felt last night. I know for a fact that I didn't feed last night if I did, then I would have blood all over me and you guys live told me well maybe not you Shane, but Rosalie would." Ed said.

"I guess I should have given you more credit you are smart. You're right; we lured you to us by using a blood bag. Vampires can't feed on other vampires we will just throw it back up just like human food." Shane said.

"So what's going too happened when I have to feed, are you going to give me a blood bag or are you going to give me someone to feed on." Ed asked.

He was hoping that they would give him a blood bag. He didn't want to kill someone.

"Sadly, we can't give your blood bag." Rosalie said quietly.

"What do you mean?" Ed asked.

"Blood has to be kept at a cooler temperature if it isn't then it would go bad as you can see we are travelling and we don't have any place to put blood bags so that they could stay cool." Shane said.

Ed was disappointed that he couldn't feed off of the blood bag instead, but if they didn't have any blood bags, then that meant that Rosalie would have on someone. Ed wondered how she was going to handle that.

"Now with that being said" – Ed looked at Shane, but he wasn't beside Rosalie anymore, nor was he sitting on the bench –"I think it's time for you to go to sleep." Shane said beside Ed.

Shane knocked him out. Rosalie jumped up from the bench.

"Shane, why did you do that?" She yelled angrily at him.

"Because he is unstable, his bloodlust will soon take over and I don't want that to happen." Shane turned to face Rosalie.

"The more things his does like moving around or talking the quicker he will lose control, you of all people should know that." Shane said as he walked over to the wooden bench and sat down. Rosalie sighed and sat back down beside him.

"I know that, but you could have told him that, you could've explained to him that the more energy he uses the quicker he will lose control." Rosalie said, all the anger was gone it was replaced with concerned. She was concerned for him, concerned for what his future will bring.

"You understand why don't you?" Shane asked, unsure if she did or didn't.

"Yeah, I do, blood is the form of energy, the more we use the quicker we'll have to replace it." Rosalie said, staring up at the ceiling.

"Many vampires don't know that they also don't know why we lose control." Shane said, staring at Ed's unconscious body.

"It's a defence mechanism. It so that vampires can't die from hunger, but it also prevents vampires like me and Edward from punishing ourselves for the people we have killed." Rosalie said bitterly.

So how was that? I have a couple questions can you guys please answer then thanks you. Ok first of all did you realise that Shane was a vampire before this chapter, if you did please tell me how you found out. Was Ed asking OOC in this chapter or was he acting OOC in the whole book. Is Rosalie a Mary sue and would you have performed her back story in a flash back or in dialogue. Thank you and your criticism is always welcome.
