((Please excuse my bad grammar at placing paragraphs in that last chapter. I had a hard time with my word processor and the fanfiction settings on this site. Oh, and from the first chapter? I changed Onicha's name to Teerene. Sorry!))
Bella's POV

I stopped at the back door of Dragons Touch. It was an art store that had options of pottery, glass fusing, and mosaic. I had desperately needed work after I had gotten out of college, and fortunately a good friend of mine back from grade school owned a decent art store. So far I've worked here for 2 years, and it's been great since then. It's low pay, but I get by. And besides, it's fun. I'm just glad I didn't get stuck doing a job that made me regret going to work everyday.

I leaned down and picked up a stack of mail that had been piled in front of the door.
"Did I get any mail, Ella?" Teerene tugged at the corner of my coat, trying to get my attention.

"Hmm… let me see…" I shuffled the stack quickly, "No, I don't think so… Oh, here's one from grandma." I handed her the small envelope and she quickly tore it open while I unlocked the door. "Hello?" I called out, hoping to get an answer.

"Back here! I'm by the kilm." Sarah called out. She was the good friend that owned the store.

I closed the door after Teerene stumbled inside and entered the kilm room.

"Where have you been? We've been so busy! Oh, and there's a group that's waiting for you out there." She was starting to put a batch of cups in the kilm as she confronted me.

"Sorry, I just had to take Teerene to the doctors office." I ran a hand through the small five year olds' hair I said this.

A sudden flash of sympathy passed through Sarah's expression.

"She's fine." I told her, "Good test results."

Sarah sighed with relief and went back to work. "That's great."

I nodded, heading out of the kilm room. I started to shuffle through the mail once more for bills. Teerene tugged at my coat again, "I can't read this!" She stammered, "Can you pease read it--" She stopped abruptly, her eyes fixed ahead of her. I thought this was odd so I looked in the direction of where she was looking. "Pretty people," she mumbled.

I had to stop too. My heart literally skipped a beat, and no, I wasn't exaggerating. Two men stood at the door. One looking slightly older then the other, but by far the tallest man I've ever seen. His shoulders were wide and his eyes piercing. The other one had a built body, perfect in ever way. A black turtle neck clung to his chest and for a moment I could hardly breathe when his hazel brown eyes captured mine. They were pained in a way that I couldn't describe in words.

Edward and Jacob.

I swallowed and Teerene hid behind me. The mail in my hands had somehow ended up on the floor. A costumer behind him opened the door and Jacob had to move out of the way for the young woman to get passed, though he never turned his eyes from me. They were also pained. I hadn't seen them is so long...

I turned around suddenly, going back from where I came from. My legs were moving fast from under me. Teerene tried to catch up, "Ella! Where's you going? Can I come?"

Sarah's head poked out of the kilm room and she also watched as I fled, with Teerene right at my heels. I had her hand and wasn't going to let go of it. It wasn't until we were outside that I could actually get oxygen into my lungs

The car, I thought and plunged my free hands into my pocket to retrieve my keys.

"You dropped these." A deep voice sounded behind me. It was so familiar and alien at the same time that it made me shiver. My keys were already in the lock; all I had to do now is turn it and I'd be safe. But no. Instead, I turned slowly until I met the eyes of the werewolf who had once been called my best friend. I leaned against my tiny red Volvo, out of breath. Jacob was standing next to Edward as they had in the store. He held a stack of envelopes in one hand. "And I'm pretty sure you want them back."

((A little fast paced. Bear with me here. xD))
