'I decided that I might as well use this opportunity to pump them for more information.  If I couldn't find Fred, I needed to know more about these vampires if I was going to stay with them.'        Hmmm, she is considering.  Promising.        :)

  'As we ran, I thought about the wolves.  Did they really turn back into humans?(...)  They would have to be huge individuals, probably bigger than Emmett.  I guessed they would have beards, and hairy arms and chests.  Maybe they didn't smell so bad either.  How could you hide what you were if you smell like that all the time?'        I like the way you make her guess, but doesn't always hit the mark.  Gives authenticity.        ;)

  '“I really don’t think Em’s the best role model for your new life,” Jasper scoffed.  “Most of us don’t fool around with humans for fun, you know.”        “I'll remember that the next time Mike Newton bursts into tears for no reason,” Emmett retorted, eliciting a giggle from Alice and a huff from Jasper.'        LOL!!!        X-D

  Now that the guys gave Bree an excerpt of their stories, I hope she have some material to consider.  She seems so detached from her humanity...  I will guess it began before her change, being on her own so young.        :-|

  Now, if only Fred doesn't panic and run away before talking with them...

Author's Response:

Thank you so much for all of your comments.  I love the way you let me know which parts of the chapter held the most interest for you.  Poor Bree, her human life wasn't such a good one and her introduction to vapmire life wasn't much better.  What's left of her humanity is burried pretty deep right now.  She needs some good friends to help her find it again.

More from Fred in next chapter.
