I had run back to Fork in two hours, pushing myself to run faster than I ever had before. I hadn't even given Kol a second thought as I ran away from New Orleans, I just needed to get out of there.

I collapsed onto the front porch of the Cullen house as the tears spilled over and I cried for the third time that day. I hugged my knees to my chest as I let the tears fall. Arms wrapped around my body, lifting me up and carrying me into the house. I didn't even look to see who it was, I didn't care. I was placed on a couch as I continued to cry.

Familiar arms wrapped around my upper body as I was brought into their chest, my tears soaking their shirt. I didn't even have to look to know that it was Rose. Her soft blonde hair rested on my shoulder as I continued to cry into her shirt.

It had to have been twenty minutes before I finally stopped crying and looked up in Rose's golden honey eyes. She just smiled down at me and stroked my hair.

Esme, Emmett, Esme, Vladimir, Stefan, Benjamin, and Tia all stood in the Cullen living room. I tried to send them a soft smile but it just made me cry more.

"I'm sorry. I'm just a big barrel of tears this week."

Rose laughed as I got myself together and stood up off the couch, standing in front of the vampires.

"It's great to see you all again, thank you for helping us."

Vladimir smirked as brought me into a hug, which I gladly returned.

The group knew of the risks they were taking to help us defeat Esther, but they wanted to live just as much.

"Thank you for coming, especially you Benjamin, the last time you saw us your Uncle was killed."

The Egyptian man just sent me a smile and wrapped his arm around Tia.

There were so many things that I had wanted to say to those standing in front of me, but arms wrapping around my waist prevented me from doing so. I turned around to see Ness and grabbed her into a hug.

"Ness, you remember Dracula one and two as Jake called them, and then Ben and Tia."

My niece smiled her bright smile and went to bring them in for a hug.

"She's bigger than I remember her being."

Stefan chuckled as Vladimir leaned over to hug her. It was true, Ness had grown to be almost as tall as me, and she no longer had her younger looks, now looking more of an adult than that of the girl who lost her parents five years ago.
