Jackson didn't mean for them to stay as late as they did, but now both Caroline and Jackson were asleep. The cousins were both passed out and it seemed there was no use in disrupting their sleep, so Emmett did the logical thing. Take her up to bed.

He placed her gingerly on the bed, making sure she was tucked into the covers. When he had originally tried to leave her, she woke up. She stared up at him her ocean blue eyes and kept his attention directly on her with only that look.

"Stay with me, please."

Emmett jumped into the bed, shoes off of course.

Now they were snuggled into his bed. He had Full House playing softly in the background for his own entertainment. He was a big fan of Uncle Jesse.

"We need to discuss the Victoria situation with the girls. We can't keep them in the dark for much longer," Carlisle stated. 

Rose shook her head. "No, Caroline doesn't need to be involved in this. We can handle this on our own."

"Rose, think about Caroline and Katherine. If Victoria finds any weakness in them, she will use it to her advantage," Carlisle says, trying to get her to sympathize to the two witches that had formed a special place in her heart. "Don't forget, Jackson is also a target. Charlie could even be a target. We can't protect everyone, search for Victoria, and keep ourselves fed."

Rose thought about her mate and his family's danger. She had met Charlie before and she likes the man. Not as much as his nephew, but enough that she didn't glare at him. She sighed, knowing that there weren't enough of them to do everything. "Fine, I'll talk to them when they wake up."

~in Emmett's room~

Caroline was now turned on her side, Emmett's arms still wrapped around her. For the past 10 minutes he had been thinking about the perfect place to take Caroline exploring in the woods.

With the little knowledge of witches, Emmett did know that they loved nature.

He was immediately pulled out of his thoughts when he felt Caroline moving in his arms. She was mumbling something, but whatever she was saying couldn't be made out into words. It wasn't until she started thrashing that he got worried.

"Care," he tried, shaking her body in an attempt to wake her up. When she was unresponsive, he shook her harder. "Care!"

Hearing Emmett's shouts from another room, Rose and Edward shook Katherine and Jackson awake, hoping that either of them would know what was happening. Edward was trying desperately to read her mind, but every time he did, he was quickly shut out.

"Edward, what's happening?" a groggy Katherine asks, quickly growing angry that she was awoken up.

"I think something is wrong with Caroline. I've been hearing Emmett try to wake her up for the past 2 minutes," Edward quickly explains. Katherine shot out of the bed, running down the hall to get to her sister, meeting her cousin at the door. Rose and Edward shared a look of concern, both having no idea what was going on.

She stood in shock in the doorway. This hadn't happened in years and if it did she sure as hell didn't know about it.

"Katherine, what is happening to Caroline?" Carlisle asked as he came through the door with a worried expression on his face. He had a small medicine bag with him and immediately took her temperature.

It was way too high to be healthy.

"She's having a vision. If we wake her up now she won't see the rest of it," she stated.
