I quickly turned to Edward who was still calm and relaxed, not worrying about a thing. But he sensed that I was terrified so he pulled me into his arms and squeezed me tight. I buried my head into his neck while he rubs my back to soothe me.

"Not to worry Bella, they are just here to lend a hand." Edward assured me.

"How do you know?" I managed to blurt out.

"Why don't you turn around and see for yourself?"

I opened my eyes, my head still position on his neck, and took a quick peek at the corner of my eye. I caught a glimpse of eight furry creatures: werewolves.

One phased back into human; it was Seth. "Geez Bella! We're not that scary! It's as if you never saw us before! I am deeply hurt!" He sniffled.

I rolled my eyes. Edward loosened his grip a little bit, but still didn't let me go. I turned my entire body to face Seth. "Sorry Seth. I was just--"

"I was just joking Bells!" He laughed and I swear, that one russet furred wolf over there, which I prefer to call Jake, was chuckling.

"Shut it Jacob Black!" I yelled at him from across the meadow. "What are you doing here anyway?" So much for being hospitable.

Jacob then quickly phased back to human.

"Bells, Bells, Bells…" Jacob started.

"What? What? WHAT?" I squealed, hearing Edward chuckle. I was thinking whether I should, or should not elbow him in the gut but, it would just probably end up bad—Bella in a hospital with a broken elbow.

"Hey Eddie! What's cracking?" Seth interrupted giving Edward a high five.

"Thanks again for the help guys. The others will be here in a minute or two." Edward announced nonchalantly.

I knew it!

Something was up!

I just… didn't know what.

Should I ask or just let things go?

Ask.

"Ok, either someone tell me what's going on or this girl is going to leave." I struggled from Edward's grip, until he finally gave up and let me go.

I turned around, raised my eyebrows at him, and then back to Jacob and Seth whistling casually.

Ugh!

"That's it! Edward, take me home. Now…"

Edward could sense my irritability—but then my mood quickly changed into… tranquility.

There's only one reason for that; Jasper.

The Cullens are here.
