"You're leaving, aren't you?"
My head snaps up from my bag, and my eyes land on Alice. She stands in the doorway, her eyes holding sadness as she watches me closely.
"How did you know?" I sigh, sitting down on the completely unnecessary bed behind me.
"Well you are packing a bag." She laughs lightly, but the light doesn't reach her eyes "And, well you know, I saw it."
Although I know that this family has become my own by turning me, I know that at least for now I cannot stay. They've been incredibly kind, each of them explaining their different gifts, and trying to acclimate me to the new life I must live.
"I'm so sorry Alice, but please you cannot tell the others, I can't stay." I plead with her.
She approaches me slowly, barely managing a smile.
"I know you can't, I've seen it."
I nod to her, both of us rushing to embrace each other tightly. I know she must know that this is not the last time she will see me, I will always be from the Cullen Clan, but for now the nomad life is beckoning me.
"He knows that you're leaving, but he won't try to stop you, or even attempt to talk you out of it." Alice sighs, pulling away from me.
"Is it crazy to think that I never want to hurt him?" I ask, picking up the bag of everything dear to me easily.
"Of course not, you're mates. That bond doesn't just go away because he hurt you. You'll always care for him; and eventually love him." She grins teasingly, jumping out of the way when I lunge out to smack her.
"You're delusional." I smile at her.
She laughs before her face grows dim, and she looks over at me with a sad smile.
"I'm going to miss you, Calina. You always have a family here with us." She grabs my hand, squeezing it tightly.
"Ditto." I laugh, walking towards my window.
"Stay safe, stay away from humans." She jokes, following me closely.
I toss my bag out first, it's rather unnecessary, but I don't mind. Putting one leg out, ready to jump, I turn back to Alice one last time.
"Take care of him." I nod, my dead heart aching at the thought of Jasper being alone, no matter how upset I am with him.
"Always."
With her word, I jump down to the snowy ground beneath me, grabbing my bag and running into the woods. I feel sick thinking about where I'm headed, but it's the only place I know secluded enough for me to stay without worrying about wanting to drain anyone.
Jared and I drove there in the middle of the night after prom, it was where I first though he was out of his mind, but I just tried not to let it bother me. I was young, and thought that it was simply what love was like.
With my thoughts racing, I run as fast as I can towards the cabin, praying that it's still empty.

"Calina has left us." Alice announces, walking down the stairs quickly, it turns to pacing when she reaches the bottom.
Edward barely even moves at the announcement, he no doubt has known since the first thought of it crossed her mind. Neither Kate or Tanya look fazed by it either, since Calina turned they've been spending all their time with us, barely going home at all.
"She'll be back." Kate sighs, flicking through a magazine absentmindedly.
"No, she won't." Jasper breaks his silence; his face is screwed up into something resembling pain.
