Emmett's POV

I was going to die.

I tried as quick as I could to wipe the tear who escaped my eye corner off my face. I didn't wanted to let the others see I was crying. I rarely cried and I hated it, especially in front of others. I never imagined myself dying after my madala attack. Even not when we had to fight the newborns or when we had to face the Volturi. I had no problems with eternity, and yet, yet, it had to be taken away from me. Maybe it was a punishment, a punishment for all the times I slipped in my newborn taon and killed innocent humans. Or for something else I don't remember.

'B... but why?' Esme asked quietly. I couldn't see with my eyes if she was sobbing or not, but her voice was shaking. 'Why would bad luck follow him? Maybe it is coincidence! Maybe it is coincidence that a book falls on your head. Maybe it is coincidence that you trip over an object, it happens every day! Maybe it is coincidence that a puno falls on you, it happens before! Maybe it is coincidence that Sarah fell in a cave!' I knew how hard she tried, honestly I knew. But you can't overcome the reality.

'It's not coincidence,' Marcus sinabi who didn't spoke the whole time. 'It was Emmett's fate to become a vampire one day. From the araw he was born it was his fate to die in an accident and become a vampire. Or is it coincidence that Rosalie was hunting at the same time, at the same place, in the same woods. I don't think so. It's your fate to be a vampire, and if you turn your back to that fate then you'll have to face the consequences. Emmett is a human and that was not his fate. He was meant to be a vampire.'

'Maybe his fate was to be turned back into a human again,' Esme tried again.

'No,' Marcus shook his head. 'Technically it's impossible to be turned back to your human state when you're a vampire. Believe it or not, but we're still trying to find a solution why Sarah was turned back. Why Emmett is turned back. It's something mysterious,' Marcus sighed. He seemed to hesitate about something. Like he knew something and didn't know if he had to say it or not...

'What is it?' I suddenly asked. I narrowed my eyes as everyone turned surprised to me. I Nawawala my grip on Rosalie's hand and stepped forward, but my family pushed me immediately back. 'Let me, please,' I pleaded quietly to them. 'Trust me,' everyone but Rosalie let go off me. 'Trust me, Rose,' I tried again.

'No,' she argued.

'Fine,' I sighed. I grabbed her hand. 'Go with me,' I stepped pasulong again. I turned to Marcus. 'You know something, don't you?' I stated coolly. 'Listen, this is very important to my family. Please, tell us.'

Marcus seemed to share a glance with Aro. I couldn't see if Aro moved or not, it was too quick for me to see it. 'Okay,' Marcus said. 'Like Aro sinabi before, we are doing some research. We tried it too. With one of our guards. We went to the same place, when he was hundredth. We waited till the light of the moon shined straight on his skin and...' Marcus shook his head. 'Nothing happened. We still don't have an explanation for this. Like it's in your blood, like you're an elect.'

'What do you mean?' I asked suspicious and afraid at the same time.

'What I mean is,' Marcus sighed. 'Maybe Sarah is linked to you,' my eyes widened. 'Maybe she was an ancestor of you.'

'What do you mean ancestor?' I shook my head. 'No, this can't be!'

'You mean that her name was...' Rosalie started shocked.

Marcus looked me straight in the eye. 'McCarty, Sarah McCarty was her name.'

'No...' I shook my head. 'No! This can't be! I can't be an elect! She can't be family of me! She's nothing to me,' I tried to hold back my tears as I let Rosalie's hand go. 'So, what you're trying to say is,' I started to pace back and forth. 'That if I had a child, and that child was a vampire, it would be an elect too?' I grabbed my hair frustrated with my hands.

'Yes.' Marcus answered calmly. 'It's the only solution. You and Sarah are blood linked, it explains everything.'

'It explains NOTHING!' I screamed. 'Sarah is NOT an ancestor of me and I am NOT an elect! You understand?' This was not true. That would mean that the whole McCarty family, everyone who is blood linked to me, to Sarah, is meant to be a vampire, turned back into a human and die a horrible dead like Sarah? But how? Nobody except for me and Sarah were turned into vampires, why not the others?

'How?' I gasped for breath. 'It would mean that my whole family is meant to be turned into a vampire, back into a human and then die of bad luck. Why did it only happen to me and Sarah? It's not logical!' I started to pace back and forth. 'It's not logical!' I repeated frustrated.

'Emmett,' Aro spoke this time. I turned to him. 'How and when exactly did your family members die?' he asked as he walked towards me. I was a little bit overwhelmed sa pamamagitan ng the question.

'Well, my youngest brother died when he was still a little baby,' I sinabi overwhelmed.

'How?' Aro asked calmly.

'It's never explained how. He just... died,' I shook my head. My younger sister fell from a horse and broke her neck. She was around fifteen years old, I was twenty then. She was immediately dead,' I started to gasp for breath. '1935, I was twenty years old when I died from a madala attack, Rosalie found me and Carlisle turned me into a vampire. One of brothers worked at the railroad, he died because of an accident. In 1954 my mother died of a disease. My father and younger brother where the only one who grew old and died,' a tear fell down my face. 'I... I don't understand.'

'But I do,' Aro sinabi calmly. 'It's like there is a curse on your family. If you're not turned into a vampire, then you'll die.'

'It's not realistic!' Bella, to our surprise, spoke. 'People die all the time, do you really think it's bad luck? No! Emmett may be blood linked to that Sarah, but what do we know exactly about his family? Why did his brother and father died a peaceful death? I don't know what kind of disease Emmett's mother died of, but seriously, you know how many people die of a disease in one day? And horse riding can be dangerous. but falling of a horse doesn't make you have bad luck. It's an accident. And working at a railroad is dangerous too, that accident,' Bella shook her head. 'He was not the only one who died, ' she whispered. 'And Emmett's baby brother died of SIDS. It still happens, it's mahirap paniwalaan how easy you can die,' Bella turned to me. 'You were meant to be one of us, fate brought Rosalie to you. Being a vampire is not a curse. That Emmett turned back is still a mystery, but,' Bella turned to Aro, Marcus and Caius. 'Stop being such a fool!' I have to admit, nobody saw [/i]that[/i] one coming. 'I don't know if I even can believe if Sarah's last name was McCarty. Maybe,' Bella sighed. 'Maybe Emmett was meant to be a human,' she whispered. 'Maybe that's why he's turned back.'

'No!' Rosalie shouted. 'Emmett was meant to be a vampire. He was meant to be with us forever, and not grow up and die. He was meant to be with us,' Rosalie placed her hands on her face as she sobbed. 'W... with u..us,' she kept shouting and sobbing at the same time. Suddenly she looked Bella straight in the eye. 'No!' she repeated fierce.

'Maybe he is!' Bella replied just as fierce as Rosalie did. 'You don't know,' Bella lowered her voice. 'I'm sorry, Rosalie. But this is what you want, what we all want. But if this is Emmett's fate, how can we overcome that? That's not logical. You can't win of destiny.'

'Bella,' Edward sinabi gentle to his beloved one. 'You're not making things any better, dear.'

'I think it's better if you go,' Aro said.

'And my punishment?' Carlisle whispered.

'Carlisle!' Esme looked angrily at her husband, like the rest of our family.

Aro pursed his lips. 'I think you have enough with,' Aro eyes me. 'That.'

Carlisle sighed relieved. 'Thank you, Aro. Thank you for everything,' Aro only nodded at the words of my father. We turned around to go back to home. I didn't know what we had to do. There is a araw that's linked to me, but what kind of day? We have only one chance. If we screw it then there was no hope anymore. I would die.

Rosalie's POV
~*~

After a long and quiet trip we finally arrived home. Nobody sinabi anything as we walked into our house to see Renesmee and the pack. They were all sitting in the living room. And with all I mean all of them. Jacob, Seth, Leah, Jared, Quil and even Sam. Renesmee squealed relieved as she saw us and ran straight to her parents. I turned to Emmett who looked very tired. I placed my hand on his cheek.

'Come, you should sleep.' Without complaining he took my hand and we walked upstairs to our room. 'Goodnight.' I whispered when he laid in our bed. I stood up to walk away but felt a hand grabbing mine.

'Rosalie?' I turned back to him. 'What now?' Emmett whispered.

First I didn't know what I had to say. For some reason the tanong overwhelmed me and it took me all of my strength to hold my sobs back. I decided to answer truthfully. 'I don't know,' I finally chocked out. I wanted to walk away again so he wouldn't see me cry, but I felt the same soft hand grabbing mine again. With a sigh I turned back.

'Don't be scared or sad,' Emmett sinabi softly. 'I'm a tough one,' we both chuckled humorless, reminding the araw I found him. He was a tough one, but this was different. 'Maybe my fate was being a vampire, maybe not. I just want to work this out and have a great time. Maybe my end is coming soon and...'

My head snapped up. 'Stop it, Emmett!' I warned as I stood up and stretched my palms like I wanted to defend myself. 'Stop it!' I sobbed. 'I don't want to talk about this,' and with that I turned around and ran out of the room. I heard him sigh behind me and whisper my name but I ignored him. I leaned with two hands against the pader as I sobbed. Suddenly I felt waves of calmness and two arms wrapped around me. 'Jasper, I'm so worried,' I sobbed.

'I know you are,' Jasper answered quietly. 'We all are, but we have to focus. We have one chance and we're only losing time.'

'I know you're right,' I whispered. 'But I'm so damn worried. I know we have one chance, but what if we screw that chance? You saw what happened to Sarah, she died, Jasper. She died. She was thirty-six when she died. I can't do this anymore. I can't handle this. It's too much.' I stood up from Jasper's arms. 'I'm done!' with that I ran downstairs, out of the house, into the woods. I didn't look behind me, I didn't look ahead, I just ran. Away. Away from everything.
