Yeah I know 10 chaps can be long but I promise I'll try to be fast. Plus they won't be so bad because we're looking at a major twist. One that you probably don't expect. But after that I promise you lots of romantic chaps to make up for the depressing ones. Let's just say some involve Paris...  


Sam's POV

School today was easy. It was just roaming around the halls going to classes, faking a cough now and then and having a small fit of coughs in the cafeteria. For once I didn't have to bother with fake smiles. But the fact that I had created a newborn vampire would not let me concentrate on anything. My biggest worries were Nessie and Jake. They were part human so vulnerable to him. So today I was going to get my first experience in building. The others said they would help me too so it shouldn't be hard since I don't know the first thing about building. We were going to build a cottage for Daren and (unfortunately) me so I could teach him without having any human blood as a temptation for him. Truth be told, I was irritated as hell that I had to bunk with him. I didn't need to be a psychic to know that he would try that, 'We're all alone, nobody can stop us' shit on me. And worst of all I couldn't tell him that I was already mated because he would tell the others. 

Building the cottage was amusing. They said that I should stick with desk jobs, and I sincerely believed them in that. I was making a mess, rather than helping so I just stuck with handing stones. 

After the cottage was ready and a hot steamy shower I made my way to town with Nessie to buy all the electrical needs. So at the end I ended up buying a power generator and solar panels, a 40 inch LCD, a surround system, another laptop, a playstation 3 and lots of guy games for it. The assistant at the cash sent us many many flirty glances. As I paid him he asked me the cursed question, "So do you have a bo-" but I cut him off. "So you think Daren will like these? I hope he does or otherwise our wedding anniversary would be ruined!" I said to Nessie who thankfully played along. He looked disappointed and more than slightly shocked but still offered us the free delivery which I accepted.

Two nights down, just one to go. I spent the entire night left before he awoke; lost, trying to get a vision of his future, but it was all blurry. I asked Alice if she could see something but she couldn't either. When Nessie saw me going through that tension she made me do my nails. Some people need a really big adjustment in priorities. Since I was done in about five minutes I had the rest of the night to kill. So I went to the cottage to install the appliances. I entered with a frown on my face. Not that I didn't like it but it awfully reminded me of Alec's cottage. I pulled out the copy of Romeo and Juliet from my bag where our pictures and the letter where. Every time I pulled them out my hand automatically shot to my neck were the heart shaped diamond necklace always was. I pulled out the pictures and saw them one by one. I reread the letter, reading the part where he said he loves me over and over again. I put them back in my bag along with the book. I took off my necklace to look at it. Its beauty always caught me off guard. I felt so guilt for what I was going to do. Had Alec discovered I was going to live with a guy who was interested in me, Daren would probably be a goner. I sighed. I just wanted him to be here so much. I was tempted to see what he was doing right now. I was afraid that if I did so I would leave Daren and everybody to their fate and just get the heck to Volterra right now. Just one peek, I promised myself. I closed my eyes, ready to will the fog.

"Hey, Sam!" Nessie said, saving me from my temptation. 

"Hey, Ness! What are doing here?" I asked her. She sat next to me. She noticed the necklace in my hands.

"I wanted to give you this." she said as she handed me a charm bracelet. I noticed that the biggest charm was the Cullen family crest. I hugged her tightly. "Thanks Ness!" 

"Yeah, I have a necklace," she said, "but seeing as you already seem to have a necklace which is important to you... by the way, would you mind telling me why you it's important to you?" 

"Someone very special gave it to me. I promised myself I would never take it off." she seemed curious but I could not tell her why or who. I put it back around my neck and tied it securely.
