Chapter Two

Family Dinner

BPOV

Flying, that's the best way I can describe how it feels when we run. After 10 years the hunt was still exhilarating. We moved swiftly through the dense woods I could feel the drizzle on my skin had I been human it would have made me cold, I vaguely remembered what that felt like being cold but recalling my human memories was annoying due to their bad quality.

"Bella, love" said Edwards soft voice I could feel his arms come around me. "what are you thinking about?" he asked.

"Nothing just some human memories" I said shrugging.

"That explains the shiver" he said with a laugh.

Off in the distance we could hear a noise very subtle then the smell carried upon the breeze. I inhaled deeply, instantly my throat was on fire my instincts kicking in, I ran faster crouching before I sprung. Teeth bared I gracefully sunk them in to the flesh of a large buck. The creature writhed beneath my struggling to free its self. Soon it stopped struggling drained dry but still thirsty I rose slowly. I looked up in time to see Rennesme take down her first kill and Jacob in wolf form a second later. I could hear laughs in the forest of Alice and Emmet.

"Nothing like a nice family dinner out to eat" I winked at Ness and then took off to find more prey.

Time seemed to fly by as we continued to hunt it was nice to see my family together enjoying themselves, free from inhabit ions and able to be themselves fully. Edward and Alice were standing in a clearing I heard Edwards voice there was an edge of panic. "Alice what is it" I heard him say.

"I can't see" she whispered.

Jasper was at her side in an instant, I came to a halt beside Edward.

"I can't see the future is blank" she said fear and panic welling up in her voice.

"Is it because of Ness and Jake?" I asked knowing that she couldn't see the future with them around.

"No I could see a little bit and then I couldn't" Alice said trying to explain.

The breeze whipped around us carrying a sent, it was familiar in a way but at the same time it was something I had never smelled. It made me gag.

"What is that?" I asked.

As I spoke Carlise and Esme came in to the clearing.

"Wear wolves, real wear wolves." Carlise said recognizing the sent. "They are close."

Edward let out a feral snarl loud enough that any vampire near would hear it. It did what he had hopped, the rest of the family came running in to the clearing. "Edward what is it?" Rosalie demanded looking a little perturbed that her hunting was interrupted. Quickly Carlise filled them in. Emmet grinned like a little kid on Christmas.

"This is nothing to be happy about Emmet" Carlise said quickly.

"Jacob get Ness out of here" I told him.

"No" Ness said defiantly

"We don't have time to argue I can hear them" Edward snapped.

Jacob came in front of the family, they would deal with him first.

"Hes called for back up" Edward whispered.

I nodded and crouched low. I heard the rustling of leaves and the soft foot steps of 3 people on two legs. They came into the clearing and froze. First they saw Jacob, in his wolf form. They were taken aback. Their eyes flashed to me as I let out a low growl.

Carlise pushed forward past Jacob and I. "Forgive them, they are protective of our family." He said. "I am Carlise and this is my family. Bella, Jacob, Edward, Alice, Rosalie, Emmet, Jasper, Rennesme, Esme, Seth and Leah." he said pointing each out. I hadn't realized Seth and Leah had come, I was too focused on the threat in front of me. Edward would scold me for that I knew better then to shut out everything around me. They looked resigned to the fact that they were very out numbered.

The wear wolves looked us over one of them stepped forward. I took them in two females and a male. The women who stepped forward was tall almost as tall as Jacob. Her hair was cut short, that's when I realized they all looked the same, tall with short hair they were on guard like us.

"Greetings Carlise," one women said. "I am Anya, this is Taya my sister and Daniel my mate" she said not taking her eyes off of Jacob. "You have a large family, perhaps we can.." she paused seeing Leah and Seth. Her eyes darted back to Carlise "Talk" then back to Jacob "you are not wear wolf" she said looking at Jake, "Yet you are in wolf form, and you keep Vampire for company." Jacob looked at Edward who stepped forward to translate. "I am a shape shifter" Edward said for Jacob.

The wear wolf looked taken a back. "You cant... but that is..." she looked back at the others. "We have much to discuss" she said frustrated.

"First!" Carlise said "We must tell you, you cannot hunt on our lands, we maintain a permanent residence"

"You have our word we will leave before the full moon" Anya said.

"Esme take the rest of the family back to the house, Edward, Emmet, Jacob stay here" Carlise said.

I went to Carlise's side. There was no way I was leaving, I wanted to make sure that they got no where near my daughter. "Bella go" Carlise said softly but firmly. I shook my head.

"I am staying" I told him. He sighed and nodded knowing I wouldn't budge.
