A/N: Okay, so work is obviously slow if I am posting another chapter today. But, unfortunately this will have to hold you all over until I can post a new one next week. Sorry :(

So that is why I thought I would give you guys the anticipated fight scene. I hope you enjoy it……

Disclaimer: Alice comes and stays with me every weekend, but technically, Stephanie Meyer owns her …..So sad….

Alice POV

I heard Victoria and the rest of them approaching us. I reluctantly pulled away from the kiss with Bella. Why couldn't everyone just leave this poor girl alone? Did this bitch really have it out for her that bad? It wasn't even Bella that killed James – it was Edward. Fucking Edward! I turned around and slid Bella behind my back to protect her. We still had another 30 seconds or so before our help arrived. If I can just keep them talking and distracted long enough they will get here in time.

"Well well well. Isn't this sweet?" Victoria hissed. Her voice was dripping with venom. "What Bella, you can decide exactly which Cullen you want to have? Or, am I safe to assume that she is passed around for everyone to enjoy? Since you all seem to take a liking in this pitiful human."

She was standing exactly in front of me maybe 15 feet away. Laurent was on her left and the newborn on her right. The newborn looked like he was barely holding in the urge to jump at Bella.

"You better watch yourself Vicky. Cause if I am not mistaken – you have seemed to take a liking to this human as well." I was not going to stand for this. No one is going to get away with basically calling Bella a slut. Fucking bitch! It's taking all of my willpower to just stand here and not fly at her.

"Mate for mate and all that jazz. Her Edward took my James now it's only fair if I take her. Where is your precious Eddie, huh Bella? Does he know you are out here with his sister?" She laughed. She had to have thought she caught us in a compromising position. Idiot.

Bella poked her head out around my shoulder trying to be brave and answer Victoria herself, "Correction – Edward and I are no more – obviously – you witnessed that when you walked up. So why don't you go and find 'Eddie' to exact your revenge on?" Her tone was harsh and almost smooth. She only let it crack once.

In a whirlwind Rosalie came up on my left, Emmett on my Right and Jasper was next to him. Victoria glanced between all of us. Obviously not expecting to see that we were prepared to fight her. She had to have known what my gift was because instantaneously her decision on what to do next jump from one thought to the next – never settling.

I heard Jasper breathe in a larger sum of air even though it was not needed, "….mmmhmm…You know….I love the smell of fear….Nice to see you to Victoria, Laurent and oh look…a newbie. This should actually prove to be somewhat fun."

She hissed at his words and then spoke, "Aren't you that one's mate?" she pointed a finger at me. Great. This is so not the time and place for this conversation.

"Alice is technically my wife if that is what you're asking." His voice gave away his emotions too well. He was agitated and sad at the same time. I knew if I could pick up on that little difference so could Victoria.

She let out a menacing laugh and threw her head back. Come on – just get it over with and say it. "You know…" she hissed, "when we showed up – she was kissing the pitiful human of yours. Wouldn't that be considered cheating on you?"

"Yes." One short answer. Straight to the point and he gave a curt nod to go along. Not good.

"Well, Bella's mate took my mate and ironically now she has taken yours….you are more than welcome to cross that line and join this side, you know? I won't fault you for wanting to have some revenge for that."

Jasper just stood there for a good 45 seconds. Not answering her yet not confirming to us what he was going to do. I looked at Rosalie and Emmett and they both looked as stumped as I did. He wouldn't turn his back on us, would he? Okay, maybe me – but Rose and Emmett too? NO! He is not that guy – he is not that vampire anymore.

Jasper POV

Tempting. The offer was very tempting. It's been a long time since I have done some real fighting – well – aside from helping kill her mate last year. And I was still furious for what Alice had done. But I should have seen it coming. I felt their emotions when they were around each other. It was always love. But I always felt passion, desire and lust too. I always attributed those feeling to how Bella felt about Edward and Alice about me. I was never truly alone with either of them to notice that those feelings were directed at each other. But, being as blinded as I am – I should have seen this coming. Those emotions still existed in Bella even after he left. Her emotions for him were immediately replaced by anger, sadness and relief. I always did find that odd. Now I know why.

I took a brief glance over at my family and noticed they were all staring at me waiting for an explanation. I then notice that the smirk on Victoria's face was growing ten times bigger. She thought she had me. Yeah – I was not entirely happy with either Alice or Bella right now, but I wasn't going to do that to my family. Besides, it's been a long time since I was able to sink my teeth into a newborn. This will be fun.

"Victoria, Honestly, what would you gain from me joining your ranks? Besides, not only that, I want to fight your newborn. I can't exactly do that if I am on your team, now can I?" Her smile dropped instantly and she flew at Alice. I noticed the newborn come flying towards me and I am sure Rose was engaged in a battle with Laurent too.

Emmett, I briefly noticed, grabbed Bella ran back about 30 yards and came to give me a hand. Newborns may be inept, but they are strong and incredibly fast. Em and I started circling around the newborn and pushing him further away from the comfort of two mature vampires. He seemed to understand that he would not live through fighting both of us.

I then hard the sickening sound of granite being ripped apart and glanced to my left. Rosalie had been able to come up behind Laurent and rip one of his arms off – which she casually tossed aside. Mean while, Alice and Victoria were intricately dancing with each other. Each move Victoria made Alice easily countered. I don't think Victoria realized how difficult it would be to take down her opponent.

"Come on." Emmett growled at the new born. "Don't just stand there – do something. You are boring." Ha. Leave it to Emmett to think a newborn in a fight would be boring. The newbie then decided to try and dash past us. Bad idea. Emmett slammed his shoulder into him as he tried to pass which hurled him backwards about 100 ft. The loud collide made it sound like a thunder storm followed quickly by the sound of trees being ripped up from their roots.

I looked over to my left to hear Laurent screaming a 'no no no' as Rosalie was straddled across his back, both hands on the side of his face – ripping his head from his shoulders. She continued down his body ripping limb from limb. As much as I hate to admit it – I hope that Bella didn't just see that. I glanced back at her and she had her head buried in her hands. Her emotions were screaming at me. Hurt, anguish, disgust, relief, love, nervousness, regret. That girl really needed to learn how to control her hormones. I hate it. Alice – I noticed – still had her eyes closed and was two stepping every attack that Victoria tried to throw at her.

Everything that happened next happen entirely too fast – even by vampire standards. The newborn came running at us and jumped before he reached us, soaring over our heads and headed right for Bella. Alice spun instantly and shouted "No!" Victoria took that opportunity to get pass Alice's defenses and make a run for Bella too. Emmett and I were already in stride with each other and almost to the newborn. In hindsight, he wasn't as fast as a normal newborn could be. My guess is that he hasn't feed in a while. We caught up to him before he got to her but Victoria passed by us fast. Her ability to escape capture was on her side at that moment. As Emmett held the newborn – I ripped his head off just as Victoria sunk her teeth into Bella's shoulder. Alice and Rosalie had a hand on her two seconds too late.

Emmett continued pulling the newborn apart and throwing him into the same pile as Laurent while I walked over to Rosalie who was now restraining Victoria. Alice was leaned over Bella furiously trying to suck the venom out of her like Edward had done once before. How she could restrain herself I'll never know. Rose and I had to back up with Victoria as far as we could. Even with her venom mixed with Bella's blood – she smelled divine.

I looked away from the sight in front of me and looked at Rosalie and then at Victoria. Rose seemed to finish my thought for me, "You do the honors – I already got to with him earlier."

Victoria gave me a pleading glance as I grab a handful of her wild red hair and pulled as hard as I could. Her body was now in pieces and it joined the pile. Emmett and I gathered some wood and started to build a fire. Rosalie and gone to join up with Alice and Bella.

Bella POV

Not again. This was ridiculous. Alice was right. Every freaking vampire in a 50 mile radius wanted me.

What. The. Fuck.

I was standing there watching them all growling at each other and moving with such impeccable fluid motions. I shouldn't have been watching. Bad idea. I know how you kill a vampire. Just then I saw Rose pull Laurent's head from his shoulders. The sound was sickening - a mixture somewhere between granite exploding and joint popping loudly. I immediately buried my face in my hands. That was one down. Now it would be two on two. I was safe – I didn't need to watch anymore.

Then I heard the one noise that made my heart practically fall out of my chest. Alice screamed 'no'.

I looked up to see the newborn – and now Victoria too – running straight at me, and there was no body in between us. Emmett and Jasper were able to grab a hold of the newborn and I heard the same sickening pop just as Victoria's teeth sunk into my shoulder. And then I sunk to the ground.

Victoria was nowhere near me anymore. That I knew. The world was burning. That I knew too. What I didn't know was whether or not Alice sucking on my shoulder was her feeding because she couldn't deny my blood any longer – or her saving me.

"Alice…." I mumbled.

"Shhhh, Bella. I am getting the venom out of you…just hold on."

"No…." I managed to get out, "leave it. Let it change me."

"Bella, no!"

"WHY?!? I just want to be with you guys forever. Am I not enough?" I wasn't thinking clearly. I felt my head rolling side to side as the intensity of the fire was dying out.

"Oh no, Bella you are. Believe that." She pulled at my shoulder with her mouth furiously one more time. "I just don't want that vile creature's venom to be the one that turns you. I want it to be mine." I felt her bite down again in the same spot as Victoria, unleashing her venom at the same time. It burned again and I knew this agony was going to be worst this time. No one was going to save me as coursed through my veins.

"Listen to me Bella." I tried to focus on Alice. Things were starting to get fuzzy and all I wanted to do was scream. "Focus babe, listen to my voice. You know what is coming. Try to think of all of the happiest memories of your human life – because that is now gone. Remember every detail you possibly can so when you turn, you still have some of your history. We are going to carry you back to the house now. Try not to scream. It won't do any good."

I felt myself being picked up and carried away. I had no fight left in me. It could have been Victoria walking away with me at this point and I wouldn't care. I was on fire even though I was in icy arms that would do nothing to dull the pain away.

Alice POV

I was carrying Bella back to the house on my own. Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper all followed behind without saying a word. We weren't running but we weren't walking at a humans pace either. When we were about ten miles from the house, the all caught up to me and Emmett was the first to break the silence.

"Would you like me to carry her for you Alice?"

"No, I am fine. Thanks."

"Why did you bite her? You got the venom out – she could have stayed human." Emmett looked as if I had just kicked his puppy or something.

"She asked me to. And I love her. I don't want to sound selfish, but I want her with me – always." I glanced at Jasper as I said this. He just looked at me with knowing eyes. I didn't want to hurt him, but I already knew I had.

"It's okay Alice." Jasper said as he looked away from me. "I sort of figured something like this was coming soon. I saw all the signs and I didn't do anything to stop it. That's why I am leaving for a while."

I stopped dead in my tracks. "No Jasper, you can't leave. That would break Esme. She already lost Edward."

"I didn't say I was leaving for good. Just long enough to wrap my head around this and get use to it. I will stay for about two weeks after Bella's change is complete. Just to ensure that she, as a newborn, doesn't go crazy. I can control her emotions well enough to stop it. Then I think I might go down south – see if I can find Peter and Charlotte. Spend some time with them. Then when I get back we should be fine."

I didn't notice, but Rosalie and Emmett were no longer around us. "Okay." I answered. "I can live with that. But as soon as we get back to the house….one of us has to call Carlisle and Esme and tell them what happened."

Jasper looked at me with a small smile on his face. I didn't think I would see that again anytime soon. "So…..how do we decide who gets to do the calling?"

"I don't know." I shrugged and continued walking.

Jasper held out his fist, "Rock, Paper, Scissors?"

A/N: If you are feeling generous again…reviews are awesome….
