The Huntress *Twilight*

Together

"Wait, whose "He"?" Jasper asked, eager to get an answer because of our worried expressions.

"We're hunters, we have a few enemies. This one in particular is the reason we move around so much. We've tried, but we can't kill him on our own. We need to get out of here he's already found us."

"Wait, you don't need to leave."

"Yes we do! As long as we're here both Jared and I are always going to be in danger!"

"You can come stay with us. We can protect you."

"We can't ask you to do that." Jared said.

"It wouldn't be a problem. No vampire would dare step into our territory. They'd rather steer clear of a problem."

"I don't want to put any of you in trouble."

"We can handle our selves. Just please, I can give them a call. They will all be fine with it."

"I don't like this." Jared said coming back into the conversation.

"Neither do I. We practically just met."

"Briggs, I love you. Please just stay."

I hesitated for a moment, looking back and forth between Jared and Jasper.

"Fine, but only if your okay with it." I looked back to Jared.

"We can try it, but if there are any problems we're gone."

"Go ahead and pack some stuff I'll call Carlisle." Jasper said.

"Yeah." Sighing I headed to my stuff while Jared went upstairs.

......................................................

We pulled back up to his house this time the sky being pitch black. I couldn't help but feel how wrong it was to put them in this kind of danger. I hate it.

"Are you okay?"Jasper asked looking to both of us.

"I don't know." I blankly sighed.

"Why don't we get you two settled in inside."

"Fine."

He got out and did the same thing as earlier, helping us out one by one. We grabbed our bags and he took us inside.

The mood had changed, nobody had the same happy smile as before. They all focused on trying to make sure that they were calm.

"Are you two okay?" Esme asked walking up to us.

"Yeah, we're fine." Jared whispered painfully.

"We have a spare bedroom that you two can stay in." Carlisle Informed sweetly.

"Thank you, this means a lot." I told them.

"Jasper, why don't you take them upstairs." Esme insisted.

"Yeah, come on."

..........................................................

"Can't sleep?" Jasper asked. I was just sitting up stairs watching Jared sleep and thinking.

"No, I'm just trying to think of something we can do."

"You can lay down and rest, then you can let us take care of everything."

"I can't do that. This is our burden. I can't just put this on you."

"We can handle this."

"The vampire that's after us is ancient and strong. He's a tracker, the best I've ever seen."

"Fine, we can do this together. We'll take one step at a time." He pulled me into a hug and held me. I finally felt comfortable and calm.

"Except I'm not even sure what the first step is."

"We'll figure it out." Jasper pulled me onto his lap and leaned against the wall. "For now, just get some sleep."

"I love you Cowboy." I whispered, he smiled.

"I love you to."

After that, the very blackness of sleep took me over.
