So I put a poll up about whether or not I should kill Bella off. I'm not sure if it's really up there, it should be. If not, you guys can review or if you're uncomfortable with people knowing your vote, you can PM me. I've started writing both sides thought so I know there's a story for both outcomes.

CHAPTER TWO:

TWO FAMILIES

"Uhhhh..." I moaned, "That was sooo goood."

I took another bite of Emily's delicious... cookie. Emily smiled, pleased, "You like them? I don't know if the boys will like white chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate."

I nodded quickly, "It doesn't matter if they like it or not. It matters if I like it or not."

Emily laughed softly and then we heard hollers outside. Emily grinned, "Boys are back."

Embry busted into the room and took me into his arms, spinning me around quickly before setting me down and kissing me on the forehead. "Hey, Callie. Whatchya eating? And where can I find one?"

"Chocolate chip cookie," I answered as I took another bite, "White chocolate chips."

Embry groaned hungrily and whined like a little dog. It made me laugh at his expense.

Seth walked in behind Embry with one other new wolf. I think his name was Brady.

Paul, Jared and Sam walked in next. Jared and Paul started goofing around and sniffing for food. Sam immediately went to Emily's side and kissed each of her scars. She giggled as he kissed all around her face lovingly.

I sighed.

I heard more hollers outside behind me as Quil and ….. my boyfriend came into the house. Quil gave me a quick side hug before he went to sit by Embry.

But when Jacob walked in and our eyes met... that all seemed irrelevant. His warm, dark brown eyes pierced mine, sending hot spikes through my blood. I felt a dopey smile overcome my face as he smiled down at me, now right in front of me. "Hey."

"Hi," I said back.

He slowly leaned down to give me a lingering peck. I just wanted to wrap my arms around his neck and deepen the kiss so much that we couldn't crawl out of ever again. But we weren't alone. So I reluctantly pulled back from the kiss and said, "Hi," again.

Jake laughed through his nose, smiling widely, and pecked me on the cheek. He wrapped his arms around me from behind when I faced the boys. They were stuffing their faces with cookies.

"So, Callie," Paul mumbled through three cookies, "How is the leech lover? She a leech yet?"

I sobered up, "Fishing for a reason to start a war?"

It got quiet then. Emily leaned away from Sam as he went rigid and started vibrating.

"It's just that..." Jared started, "If she's turned... then the treaty is broken."

"And you're just gonna storm in there and kill them all? She wanted this!" I threw my hands up. Jacob tightened his arms around me instinctively, knowing I could lose it really quickly. The guys all exchanged some looks with each other, cautious of how to approach this.

"Is it really the right thing? We all know what she wanted," Sam said, looking at me... and Jacob.

"The treaty doesn't mention anything about victim preference, Sam!" Paul growled.

"She's not a victim. Just because some ancient dudes didn't consider that someone may be willing to become a... doesn't mean that you shouldn't!" I yelled.

"She's right guys," Seth tried, "They aren't our enemies."

Paul growled, "They are our enemies. They are in our territory. We take them out. I don't care if you had fun fighting alongside Edward Cullen once upon a time."

"So that's it then?" I shouted, breaking away from Jacob easily for he didn't expect it. I glared at Paul mostly, "the second you find out she's a vampire, you'll charge in there and kill my family?"

It was completely silent.

It was Embry who spoke, almost scared to ask, "I thought we were your family, Callie?"

I glared at him, my best friend, and said, "They're my family too. And I love them and I will stand by them. If you do this, you're obviously not my family."

It was deadly silent then.

When the silence felt like it would kill me, I stormed out of the house. I couldn't stand that these people were actually considering killing an innocent family. The Cullens were and have not done anything wrong, ever. They've been nothing but accepting and kind and cooperative. And the wolves just couldn't let go of some stupid ancient rivalry that had nothing to do with them.

I tried to drive as calmly as I could. But angry tears were blurring my vision. When I noticed that I had crossed into the Cullens territory, I deemed it safe to pull over. I was still in the middle of nowhere but I didn't care. I pulled onto the side of the rode and shut off the engine angrily.

I just sat there fuming for who knows how long. Until I heard a knock on my window. I furiously wiped at my eyes before glancing over to see that it was Embry.

I rolled down my window, "Look who's on who's territory now."

"Callie, you know the terms of the treaty. I'm sorry," Embry did look sorry.

But sorry wasn't good enough.

"That doesn't change the fact that you're willing to attack the people I care about," I told him. "Jasper was my first ever friend when I moved here and was still depressed. You two pulled me out of my depression. And Rosalie saved me from becoming a vampire. Esme is like my real mother. They accepted me without question and took me in and have been there whenever I've needed them without ever asking for anything in return."

"We've accepted you too, Callie. We all love you," Embry whispered.

"And I love and accept all of you. But doing this... it will force me to choose, Embry."

"And who will you choose? If it comes down to it," Embry asked, seemingly scared of the answer.

It took me a long time to answer. I had to answer very carefully, so he wouldn't mistake anything I had to say next. "If you guys start something..." I looked at him, right in the eyes, "I'll help them finish it."

Embry looked so hurt and guilty at the same time. I don't know how someone could look that way.

"I'm sorry Callie. I don't want to lose you," He whispered, painfully.

"Back up," I said softly. When he did, I opened my car door and stepped out. I grabbed his hand and pulled him to me, wrapping my arms around his waist. He gladly wrapped his arms around me and I put my face into his chest. "You won't lose me, Embry. I love you. But if you start a war. I will stand by them."

"I understand," It was said so quietly that I'm not completely sure he even said it. But then he pulled back and smirked, "I better back off now or your boyfriend will get jealous."

My eyebrows cinched together in confusion, "Where...?"

"Over here," I heard. I looked behind me to see Jacob jogging out of the woods in his shorts.

"Did you both follow me all the way here?"

Jacob and Embry both shared embarrassed and guilty looks, "Kinda."

I shook my head as if to say, they've done it again, and smiled somewhat. Jacob walked over to me and asked, "Are you alright?"

I grabbed his hand in my own and said, "Yeah."

Embry kissed me on the forehead, "I'll see you later, Callie. And let you and Jacob have some sickening imprint couple time."

Jacob laughed sarcastically, "Look who's talking."

Embry just laughed and smile dreamily, thinking about Angela. They really were perfect for each other. He then jogged into the woods to phase.

I looked at Jacob then, seriously, "I have to ask, Jacob... If the pack started a war, would you be with them... or me?"

Jacob looked at me, seriously, "I'm with you, Callie. Forever."

I smiled, "Do you want to come over? Dad'll be home around eleven and it's only one now."

Jacob smiled back down at me and already started walking over to the passenger seat of my jeep, "Of course."

I smiled to myself before getting back in the car and driving off.

Sorry it's short but don't worry, I shall continue. Don't forget to review and vote!
