Bella's p.o.v.

I sighed as Edward took of into the woods, I walked back to the house and got rid of the note I had wrote and I walked upstairs. I laid on my bed an just as I closed my eyes I heard my cell phone going off, I pulled it out and answered it without looking "hey! cousin, what's up?" I heard him chuckle "hey! Bella, I was wondering if you would like to come to my brothers wedding?" I smiled "is Eben finally getting hitched?" I heard a laugh in the background "yes, I know just how you feel" I laughed "hey! Helen, how's life?" I heard a door.

"Just fine, are you coming to my wedding or what?" I laughed again "yeah I'll head up there but I'll be driving so you'll be expecting me two hours before the wedding" I heard a groan "how come you're driving? can't you just fly?" I smiled "I'm driving because I've got six others that'll rid with me and a bunch more that'll want to go and I need to get my horse Topaz out and give her some exercise" I heard a smile in his voice "okay, I'll see you at my wedding?" I knew he would ask.

I laughed "yes you dumbass, I'll be at your wedding so shut up" I always teased him like that, I heard both Jake and Helen laughing in the background "well I gotta go get the others and make the arrangements for the trip, later guys" they said their goodbyes and we hung up, I sighed as I put my phone away and I got up and left a note for Charlie. I went to the garage and I got my four-wheeler, I took it out back and started it up. I got on it after I made sure it was still okay, I drove it threw the woods and threw the baseball clearing.

I took it to the base of Mt. Rainier where I stopped, I turned it off and put it in the shed, then I pushed a boulder in front of it. I ran into the cave, I ran until I saw the house. I ran straight threw the door and into the living room where everyone was at "guys my cousin Eben is getting married on the last day of the sun before the thirty days of night and I was invited and I told them you guy would come with me so what do ya' say?" I smiled.

I watched as Josey, Jesse, Jackson, Jagger, Jass and Tommy smiled at me and, at the same time, they yelled "we'd love to" together and ran upstairs to get their stuff. After they got heir stuff I told Jesse to pack for me since I had to hook up the horse trailer. She agreed and ran upstairs while I went to the garage, I hooked up the horse trailer and went to a cavern where I saw all eight horses. I smiled as I thought of the eighth horses' name.

I smiled "Topaz, War, Midnight, Sky, Sandy, Jade, Emerald, Dune come here guys we have to go to Barrow, Alaska for my cousin's wedding" I yelled. They came running and I smiled as they all stopped and nudged my shoulders so I would give them attention. I laughed and lead them to the garage, I got their reins and put them on a hook in the trailer then when I was out "alright guys in you go" they got in, I closed and locked it as everyone came out and started loading the luggage in my jeep.

Jackson got shotgun while Jagger, Jass and Tommy got the back seat and the girls had to sit in the seats in the back with the stuff. I turned the key and took off with the trailer attached to the ball hitch on the back, all the horses with their reins and our stuff in the back of the jeep, as I drove threw the woods the others fell asleep. I was going 400 mph it was normal for me to drive that fast and two hours later I stopped in a clearing in the woods ten miles from the town of Denali, Alaska.

I put it in park and turned the engine off, I got out and got the tents set up as well as the equipment tent that held the laptops and satellite com link then I set up the small satellite dish on top of the tent then I sent up the fire pit and and chairs. After I set up the stable tent I ran back and got the horses and put them in the tent then I took the others out of the jeep one at a time and put them in one tent in their separate sleeping bags. I smiled and went to my hp laptop and started the connection to the computers at Barrow, Alaska's Sheriff's Office.

I started the video com link and in seconds I was staring at Helen but she didn't know it so I smiled "HEY! HELEN, WATCHA' DOIN?" I yelled she jumped and nearly fell out of her chair as I laughed. I heard her heart calm down "don't do that Bella" I sighed guiltily "I'm sorry, Helen. Listen were ten miles from Denali, Alaska and were stopped for the next day or so but I want you to tell Eben that I wil get there in time for the wedding ok?" I closed my eyes and rubbed them tiredly.

I heard her giggle and I looked back at her "okay, I'll do just that. In the mean time get some sleep, ok?" I smiled "okay, night Helen" she smiled "goodnight" I shut off the com link and I sighed, I felt something nudge my shoulder and I felt a weight on my right shoulder, I reached up and stroked Topaz's face as I sighed "what's wrong Bella?" I shook my head "nothing I'm just worried about Eben and the others being up there" I stood and stretched "how about a run?" I smiled at her "why don't you take a run now? I need to get some shut eye" I walked towards the main tent.

I heard her little whine "alright but I want you to come with me next time, ok?" I smiled "okay, night" I felt her head on my shoulder "night" she stayed put as I went into the tent, I fell onto my sleeping bag and I was out like a light.

Topaz's p.o.v.

I waited until Bella was asleep then I went to our tent "hey guys you wanna take a run with me?" they looked up just as War stood up and walked over to me "I'd love to sweetheart" I smiled, I loved his southern accent "I ain't gonna be left behind" Sky said getting up "I'll go" I looked at Midnight, he was a highly strung horse that's been through hell, we all have "I wanna go to" I smiled at Sandy, she was a real sweetheart "Hey! don't you dare leave me here!" Dune said jumping to his feet "hey! wait up!" Jade slowly got up "I'm comin'" Emerald said as he stood.

I walked out with War by my side, and as we took off the others followed. We ran until we came across another clearing and we all decide to split, we can scrounge up more food split up. War stuck with me and I loved being close to him, we are mates and I won't ever leave him, we ran but stopped after just four miles and we were in a meadow "Topaz I want you to know something" War turned to me and I saw a tear in his eye "what is it?" he walked right up to me "I love you with my heart and I know you love me but my past is going to catch up to me before long and it won't be safe for you, so I ask you will you stay?" a tear fell from his beautiful eyes.

I smiled as I walked the last six feet to him and I hugged him, I put my head on his shoulder and he put his head on mine "I'll stay with you until the day comes that I get killed" I whispered, I heard something thirty yards away so I nudged his neck 'what is it? what's wrong?' I brushed his neck with my cheek 'I heard something, it's coming closer and it sounds like a vampire' I said threw our mental link.

Suddenly we heard a twig snap and we pulled away and watched as a blond vampire walked out of the trees and I recognized him 'that's Jasper Whitlock Hale, Bella talked about the Cullen's allot. You remember when she mentioned Jasper?' we watched as he stopped in the clearing 'I remember so he's my rider huh?' we listened to him as he spoke "hey there, you too must have an owner if you up here, you should know I'm dangerous" he hung his head slightly.

I walked over and sniffed his hair, he looked up and smiled. he gently placed his hand on my neck and was careful not to spook me, I gave him a smile and I relaxed as he rubbed my neck. I heard War come up next to me and I saw Jasper start rubbing his neck too, we relaxed at his touch and enjoyed it "you two aren't scared of me? You should be, I'm very dangerous but you don't seem to care" he seemed happy that we accepted him.

But then we heard the foot steps of others and he let his hands fall to his sides "the others are coming you have to run, hurry!" he said with such an urgency in the air. I nodded at him and hugged him before I backed up a step, War did the same then stepped back next to me, we both turned and ran back to the clearing and found everyone else laying down so I laid in the snow as War laid next to and I snuggled into his side.

War was suddenly on his feet and I was next to him in an instant 'what is it?' I looked and as I listened I heard foot steps that only sounded like a ghost 'Vampires' I got the others up just as the vampires got to the edge of the clearing and I took off with War at my side. The others were following us as we left the vampires in our wake, we ran back to the camp and the others went into our tent but I walked over to the other then even though I knew the vampire had followed us and were now watching.
