Chapter 1

Bella/Nikole POV

I was standing with the Cullens and the pack as they discussed the problem of the Volturi coming to check that I'm still human. Jasper, Emmett, Paul and I were the only ones not phased by the fact. The only reason I'm not afraid is because I'm one of six people they fear. If I show them my true self then they'll go running back to Italy and never look back.

"How do you know that they wont come after Bella once the word about this gets out," yelled Jacob. Everybody started yelling then arguing whether or not it would come to a fight or not.

"They could kill Bella," yelled Edward. That was the only words I caught in the argument. I couldn't take the shouting anymore so I decided to speak up.

"What do any of you think you do to protect me," I whispered to myself but it was loud enough that they all looked at me with shocked expressions.

"What do you mean by that Bella," asked Esme, looking sad.

"You cant protect me from everything that you consider a threat. There are more powerful creatures out there. The only people I know that can protect me is the Whitlock coven." I didn't realize what I was saying until the words were out my mouth. I covered my mouth and looked at Jasper and sent him my apologetic feelings. He smiled at me and walked towards me.

"It fine they would've found out when your family came to check up on you in about three weeks," he said putting his hands on my shoulders.

"What are you two talking about," said Rosalie, "are you cheating on Alice and Edward?" I laughed at her accusation.

"We aren't the ones cheating on Edward and Alice their the ones cheating on us."

AN sorry for the Cliffy but I had to do it. *cue evil laugh* please review and let me know what you think!
