Hi, here's chapter two. Please review, whether you think it's bad or good!

As I stared at the picture in horror, I heard Edward growl protectively beside me. I flicked my eyes to him and reminded him with my thoughts that growling would do no good before releasing my shield and allowing it to mask my thoughts again.

"Why?" Esme demanded, as trusting as usual. "Why would they want to do that? We haven't done anything to them. Maybe you misinterpreted your vision."

Emmett, Jasper, Alice and Edward shook their heads.

"They just want a fight," Emmett said.

"They were furious when they had to leave last time. They hate being defeated," Jasper explained. Edward nodded in agreement.

"But we didn't defeat them," Esme protested. "We just showed them that there was no need to fight."

"They see that as a defeat," Edward explained. His fists were clenched tightly and he put his hand protectively on my shoulder.

"What should we do, then?" Rosalie and Carlisle asked Alice at the same time.

"Will we beat them?" Emmett urged her to tell us. She shook her head and I felt Edward tense beside me.

"I can't see," she answered.

"We should gather together the people from last time, shouldn't we?" Carlisle asked. Alice nodded doubtfully.

"Yes, but this time we're asking them to fight, not witness," she said. "And this time they'll be prepared."

"Well, we can beat them again, can't we?" Emmett asked, punching the table lightly for him and leaving a huge dent in it. Esme winced, but didn't comment.

"We've still got the wolves," I pointed out. "And I think everyone from before will still help."

"I can help," Renesmee piped up in her child's voice. Edward, Esme, Jacob and I shook our heads violently.

"Nessie, you're barely a year old," Edward pointed out gently.

"It's too dangerous!" Jacob yelled.

"Remember honey, you don't heal as well as vampires and werewolves," I reminded her. She settled down on Jacob's knee, quietly, obviously annoyed.

"Alice, Jasper," Carlisle urged. "Is there anything else we can do?"

"We can run…" Jasper began slowly. Emmett growled.

"But they'd probably find us," Alice finished for him.

"Couldn't you just make them… not feel like fighting?" Jacob asked Jasper.

"I could try, but it's probably not just their emotions influencing their decision," Jasper told him.

"Make them really scared, too," Jacob commanded. Rosalie glared at him.

"Who made you the boss?" she asked. "You're not even properly part of the family."

Her stress had made her temper even shorter. I smiled despite myself. Although Jacob was probably one of the closest "family friends" we had, he could be annoying sometimes. And he smelled so bad.

"What did the blonde..." he began.

"Jacob," Carlisle said sharply. "It's really not the time."

Jacob sighed and lay down, pretending to be asleep. He might insult and annoy the rest of us, but for some reason he respected Carlisle. Rosalie smiled dazzlingly at Carlisle and his mouth twitched in response. All eyes turned to Alice.

"Gather everyone together," she decided finally. "I'll work out a plan."

Jacob snored loudly. All eyes turned to him.

"Is he really asleep?" I whispered to Edward. He nodded.
