Clara Cullen was extraordinary. Reborn into the hands of an evil vampire who plays cat and mouse and rejusting to life with the Cullen's is tough. The weight of being one of the most powerful vampires on earth is even more tough. But than she meets...

"BUT IF THE WORLD WAS ENDING, YOU'D COME OVER, RIGHT YOU'D COME OVER AND YOU'D STAY THE NIGHT"
. . .
"I'm so scared.. I don't know what else to do. If I keep running I can't protect you guys and if I stay.. you- could die. I hate this, I hate this so much." Clara mumbled, her hair covering her pale face. She had no clue how she was going to do this, how could she protect everyone she loves but still potentially put them in danger by being around them. Either way Charles was hot on her trail, and Clara had no room for error.
"I'll rip his head off." Edward growled, his long legs stretched back and fourth in front of the Cullen's. His eyebrows crunched together angrily, he was pissed. And Clara knew all to well, anger wouldn't help the current situation.
"You won't get close enough. He wants me, whether I'm the one to kill him or not, it's on his terms. He's cunning, quick and he knows me. He knows what I'll do before I do it. I've tried everything." Clara whispered, her body shaking fearfully. "But running just isn't working anymore."
"We will help you. You're one of us- my girl, we're in this together." Carlisle reassured, putting his arm protectively around the redhead. "Maybe Bella can talk to the pack and explain the dangers that's to come, at least than-"
"Paul should be fine- I planted false memories into his mind. He will be safe, he has no reason to be around me or to have my scent surrounding him."
The room was silent. Not a muscle was moved. Vampires lacked emotions on the outside but Jasper could sense the immense sorrow from within Clara. It felt like the pressure of a strong tidal wave, it was consuming and drowning her. And coming up for air was impossible.
"One thing Charles is not, is stupid. I wouldn't rely on just what you planted. We all saw the exchange, I don't think that's going to get by unnoticed." Rosalie stated, crossing her arms stubbornly. "And we don't know what he saw in the woods. He might've even known about the wolf before James did."
"Why would you think that- I would've known if Charles was around. I was careful."
"Just think about it, he just stopped looking for you? That isn't likely. He wouldn't have just given up that easily. Let alone allow you to love someone after he spent years tormenting you and forcing you to love him."
"Than whats the plan?" Edward asked stiffly, his voice sounding strained. His body was so stiff, Clara had never seen him like this, and it made her uneasy.
"What if we bait him." Emmett stated. "She puts up the white flag, he's finds her and than we ambush. Easy."
"Too easy, he'll do anything to get her. I mean it, his mind is winding and replanting ways he can get her back. We need to find another way." Edward growled, remembering how Charles thought the day they rescued his little sister.
