Young morrigan's POV

I scream
Sitting up in bed, my eyes fly open and look over to my sister . She's screaming too. I see it so vividly as if it really happened. My sister, frozen , unmoving before me while I moved around unheard and unseen . I watched as my mother got stabbed by a hooded figure and fell to the ground and suddenly Alice , little Alice was screaming and so am I.

This isn't the first time this has happened. Last time it was fathers , I saw him , he was lying on a pile of money while another version of me, Alice, and my mother were by the side disappearing, laughing and laughing and laughing.
I woke up and told mother straight away only to be dismissed, saying it was just a dream. It wasn't real .
I didn't speak to him for months.

I look over to alice, who is still sat there just staring ahead , fully awake now . Standing up, I go over to her bed and sit down on the edge , hugging her. I whisper these words, " it will change " over and over in her ear before she fell asleep again . I didn't sleep for a very long time .

Current day

Knowing I have already missed the rest of the school day, I carry on through the woods using my vampire speed to get to the house quicker. I walk up the steps and open the door only for E0sme to embrace me.

Unsure of what to do as I'm still not used to this much affection, but also not wanting to hurt her, l wrap my arm around her and start patting her back .

She lets go and says, "How are you darling ? Edward told me everything , it's ok if you would like to take the week off  I'm sure the teachers can find something else to moan about " I chuckle at her comment  and reply saying "thank you so much Esme but I think I'll be fine tomorrow.We all need to be there for Edward in case he struggles. it could be very dangerous."

"Only if you're sure ? Anyway, we are going to go on a hunt when the others return if you want to get ready now. "
I nod and make my way upstairs to my room. Liking the seclusion of it all, I took the attic as my room. The light shines in from the slanted window ,projecting straight onto my bed . I walk over to it and climb under one of the many blankets I have lying on my bed . Even though we don't need them , it gives me a sense of comfort and security.

Time skip.

We're currently hunting in the woods surrounding the house. All hunting differently,keeping away from each other so as not to make too much noise at once. Emmett alerts most animals of his presence, catching the large animals who think they can take him and the smaller ones to stunned to move. Alice, Carlisle and Esme take a stealthier approach finding a selection of deer and mountain lions , none see it coming. Me, Jasper and Rosalie are slightly different. We wait. Attacking at the most opportune time. This usually results in a much nicer kill, no mess.

 
Today Edward seems preoccupied. Still not having moved from the tree he was perched on, I approached him. After living with him for so many years I see Edward as a brother and a friend. We respect each other's boundaries while being there for one another. It's nice.

" Now are you going to tell me what's up or continue to stare into space?" I speak loud enough for him to look up at me. Our eyes lock before he looks to the ground. " Is it about the girl?" he nods , his eyebrows draw closer as he frowns.
"Want to talk ?" this makes him look me in the eyes again.

"What if she hates me ?What if I do something to her ? What if the urge to kill her is too strong and I go on a rampage again ? i can't do that , i just can't " he says worry and sorrow clouds his face. His walls are fully down.

"She won't hate you, if she truly is your blood singer then it's not possible, i know you Edward, your restraint is to strong for there to even be a chance and as for the urge i can promise you i won't let you do that again , i wasn't there last time but i am now. i will pull you back personally if i have to" i say to him with a slight smile on my face.

The others, now finished with the hunting, join us. mainly patting him on the back and congratulating him at finding his blood singer. you can still see the worry etched onto his face but he replies with a smile. We start to walk back at a human pace as we are in no rush. Sometimes all this free time can become very overwhelming, when Edward comes to a halt. His eyes glaze over and suddenly he starts running. I chased after him immediately. I am the only one who matches him in stamina.  We keep running until finally i am able to grab a hold on his shoulder, stopping him. I look around only to realise we are on the outskirts of the woods just behind the sheriff swan's house. I manage to bring him back before the hunger consumed him completely. After he stood staring at her for a while, he makes his way back with me. A lot quieter than before.
