So many of you reviewed and I do appreciate it. There were many PM in the voting of the love rival however, there was only one winner. I managed to make it amusing hopefully for those who lost the vote. I want to please everyone but you can't eat your cake and have it at the same time. Thank you.

Edward couldn't believe that his entire family had already accepted the mutt, not that he didn't like him, but he wasn't in the spirits to be pressured into a relationship. He would be a companion and nothing else, especially when Jacob was the one affected by the imprintion. It made Edward feel as if the feelings were artificial. Edward paced the length of his room. That was exactly what they were, artificial feelings. How was he supposed to trust someone who had developed false feelings for him? "I don't see why this upsets you." Rosalie said, "This would save another human a lot of torment as well as pain. Because he would live forever along you side. His love would never waiver and he would be dedicated to you." Edward turned an annoyed face towards her, "It's simple for you to say, you have Emmett, you know his love would never waiver because he adores you. His feelings are built on true foundations." Rosalie jumped off the window sill she had been sitting on, "Is that what bothers you?" Edward looked at her with troubled amber eyes and whispered "Yes."

Jacob was confused as he entered his father's cottage; he knew he shouldn't have talked to Edward like that however, the pale one had to know what was within his limits to accept. Billy was cleaning out a fish as he strolled into the kitchen, "Hey Jacob, what's this I heard about you imprinting on a cold thing?" Jacob looked at Billy and then bit his lip in wonder, "I would have imagined you would have a heart attack father, this is a cold one we are talking about. The tribes enemy? Remember them? Drink blood and walk around pretending to be living but all they are, are blood drinking zombies with brains and good looks?" Billy chuckled, "Seth stormed in here telling me I shouldn't give you a rough time and that this was not your fault. I realize this as I was about to let the anger cloud my judgment. It's not like if you can't have children, besides nobody tells a Black what to do. So I had to tell Seth I was alright with it." Jacob looked out the window, "And are you okay with it? Or are you going to glare daggers at us while we hang out?"

Billy smiled, "Jacob, who you chose to love is not my business, as long as you're happy. First and furthermore you are my son. Don't make me out to be the bad guy before you talk to me boy. I love you unconditionally and always will." Jacob felt like crying, something he hadn't done in many years since his mother had passed away and he had made that vow at the site of her grave. "Father, I appreciate your support. The other elders believe something might be on its way here that is why we are destined to interact with the bloodsuckers." Billy stopped cutting the fish and looked at his son, "What kind of thing needs our combined strength?" Jacob shrugged, "I don't know but I don't like that the cold ones are involved. Father, we're going to be companions, nothing more." Billy let out a roar of laughter, "Boy, you are an idiot. It will start as companionship but will end with a certain amount of children." Jacob shivered, "I need time to think." Billy nodded, "You already knew this?" Jacob tilt his head, "I suspected it, I will fight it." Billy waved the blood soaked knife at Jacob, "Sure, Sure. Let me know how that goes." Jacob let out a growl and stomped off to his room muttering about arrogant old cods.

Edward leaned against the car as Alice made her way over to him, "What took you so long?" Alice shook her head, "I had a vision, it was suddenly blocked by the shifters. We are going to need to talk to them considering they arrive tonight." Edward nodded grimly, "That's optional though. We don't know if they are the threat yet." Alice sent him a look and he just got into the car and started it. "You know as well as I do that there is nothing that poses even half the threat the Volturi do." Edward sighed, "Yes, I get it. Where is everyone else?" Alice shrugged, "They didn't want to deal with your mood after I warned them so they took off." Edward sent a withering glance towards Alice who innocently smiled and shrugged.

When they arrived at the school, true enough, the other car was parked in their usual parking spots. Edward got off and slammed the door followed closely by Alice, who took off in the direction of her mate. Rosalie rolled her eyes at him, "Are you still bitching and moaning Eddie?" Edward growled, "Rosalie, keep your mouth shut you're prettier that way." Rosalie smirked, "Your puppy isn't here today by the way. That Emily girl and her mate just went in with two of the other dogs. There was no alpha among them though." Edward stared at her, though curiosity was eating away at him he shrugged, "How is that my problem?" Rosalie let out a groan, "Don't try and pretend it doesn't affect you. Just take it like a damn man and ask the other wolves. We are going to need to interact with them sooner or later." Edward was about to yell at them when a small voice interrupted them.

"Hey." A small young native said, causing both Rosalie and Edward to stop what they were doing to look at the over eager young man. "Who are you?" Rosalie asked and sniffed, "You're one of those mutts." "I'm Seth." He replied happily, "You're Rosalie and Edward right? I've heard a lot of things about you, but none of them tell me who you really are. I was wondering if you guys wanted to have lunch with me later in the cafeteria so that we could talk? I realize that everyone thinks you're all cold blooded, killing machines with no heart but I believe you have a heart. It's probably frozen and not working, maybe a little decayed, but it's in there." Rosalie could not believe the smile that the kid had on his face as he spoke, he had just insulted them but she couldn't be angry at him. Edward was feeling the same way, "Will you get in trouble for talking to us?" Seth shook his head, "No way. Maybe a little beat up but I'll be okay. So do you want to?" Rosalie cracked a smile and couldn't help but ruffle his hair, "Sure. Just bring some febreeze or something. You'll make me lose my appetite." Seth nodded seriously and jogged towards the school as Edward looked at Rosalie, "You don't eat human food." Rosalie grinned, "So?" Edward could do nothing but shake his head, "At least we can ask him about Jacob."

Lunch came around quicker than they thought and soon Seth was sitting at their table waiting for them. They quickly took their seats around him and Alice was the first to ask, "Where's Jacob?" Seth looked across the cafeteria at Sam who looked surprised but not uncomfortable, "He's taking the day off, he needed to think. The elders believe something big is headed this way since our combined powers is needed. Do you guys know about anyone who might be coming?" Seth looked at everyone expectedly and Emmett surprised us all, "Let's meet at the clearing again. Bring Jacob and we can all talk how does that sound?" Seth grinned, "Sounds perfect, can I have your lunch seeing as to you guys being blood drinkers?" Everyone pushed their plate towards them and Seth dug in happily.

The rest of the lunch hour was spent with Seth talking about life on their side of the island and the beauties it held. "Are there any particular places you guys have discovered?" Seth asked while he finished one lunch and moved to the next. "Well there is this cliff off of the side of our house and it's at least a hundred foot drop. Half way down there is a cave and inside is the most spectacular place, it's pretty epic." Edward replied with a wink at his family, "The lights bounce off the walls and make rainbows and gems glow alike." Seth looked ecstatic, "I want to go!" Rosalie ruffled his hair, "When you're old enough." This caused Seth to push away his food and pout, "No fair, no one believes I grew up even if I am a wolf!" The rest of the table chuckled and across the cafeteria Sam and Emily grinned, even the cold ones were subjected to Seth's pouts.

Jacob watched as his imprint strolled onto the field with an inward sigh, wishing he could get close and touch his face, his sparkling skin. This caused him to stop, sparkling? Jacob rushed forward causing all the vampires to step back. He stopped half way and decided it would be best if he walked slowly, when he finally reached them he picked up Edwards arm between his teeth. His pack was pacing behind him, wondering what he was doing. Ignoring them for a second he let the arm drop then licked it, a few snickers came from the family behind Edward. Jacob saw the indistinctive sparkles that was on their skin, he phased mid laugh and couldn't contain it. Everyone looked at him as if he were crazy, Sam jogged towards him and phased next to him, "Jake?" Rosalie shook her head, "The mutt has finally lost it." Jacob stopped laughing and wiped his eyes, "He sparkles." Sam looked at Edward and his eyes widen as he saw the sparkles, "You have glitter on your skin?" Edward growled, "I do not have glitter on my skin. I do not sparkle!" Rosalie began chuckling, "We now know who the woman in this relationship is going to be."

Jacob stopped laughing, "Enough. What do you know about this Volutri? According to our source they come tonight." Carlisle nodded, "I used to live with them, a long time ago before we came to live here. They are vicious creatures who eat away at human kind, unlike us, they are stronger, faster, and possess more powers in the unnatural. Alice saw them coming and one will be staying with us for a while." Jacob began to growl, "They can not! They will not feed on humans on this island." Esme nodded, "We think maybe one wants to conform to feed on animals." Sam looked at Jacob, "They obviously fail it caused you to imprint." Jacob ran a hand through his hair and Edward followed that hand, he let out a deep breath, "We are going to meet him when he arrives. As half owners of this land we have a right." Carlisle nodded, "We can meet him as a family Jacob. It doesn't have to be a one on one deal." Jacob looked at every individual vampire, "For now, we have a truce. For now, we are family. If one of you betray me I will kill you. I expect nothing less of my pack, and they expect nothing less of me. Are we understood?" Edward looked at him, "Would you kill the Volturi and start a war?" Jacob smirked, "They brought the war to our front step, we can only reply. "

"They are arriving." Jasper said as he stood ready for a fight. The boat was huge, ancient, and yet fearful all at the same time. Seth hid behind Leah who was glaring at the ship, she felt evil washing off of it. As it docked she saw a huge door open and descend towards the beach, "Rich arrogant fools." She muttered this causing Edward to send her an annoyed look, which she quickly replied with a stuck out tongue. Jacob kept his eyes peeled as several cloaked figures began making their way down at a slow pace. A smile spread on Carlisle face and he stepped a bit forward to accept them. "Carlisle," a deep voice said, "How are you old friend?" Carlisle hugged the first figure and the hood came down, "I am well Aro. Alice saw you arriving and she decided we all needed to welcome you. What brings you here?" Aro smiled, "I've come with Alec, Jane, and Caius. We were celebrating Jane and Alec's birthday out at sea when we realized we were close to your island and decided to celebrate."

Edward sighed, "How old are you two turning." The other cloaks were removed and the only female smiled, "Tut-tut Eddie boy. A woman never reveals her age." The brown haired boy next to her muttered something along the lines of nine hundred and she elbowed him. Both young men behind Aro turned to look at the shifters and both decided at that instant to hiss. Aro stared at Carlisle, "You've befriended shifters I see." Jacob saw the anger in Aro's eyes and spoke, "This is not an act of war, we simply came to greet you and welcome you onto our island." Aro's face changed immediately, "Oh! In that case how about we all celebrate?" Jacob shook his head, "We cannot, though we appreciate your invitation." Aro waved his arm, "Don't be silly. Caius! Alec! Jane! Come meet the shifters of the island." Jane grinned, "I want one!" Seth was closest to her and she lunged at him, this caused Leah to shift and growl at her placing her body between the two. Alec quickly jumped in the middle and he silently glared at Leah. Leah phased, "Don't glare at me blood sucker! She attacked my brother."

Alec stared at this young woman who was so bitter however, she was also a fiery ball of beauty that made him want to curl up next to her. He shook his head and silently turned away from her tossing his cloak at her. Aro seemed surprised by the interaction, and he turned to look at Jane who was quietly watching for once. The younger wolf forgotten had run behind the alpha. Aro knew an alpha when he saw one and he watched him with amazement. He was young, yes. However, there was a maturity about him. "Leah," the alpha said, "I am pretty sure that she meant him no harm. However, Aro, I would appreciate it if you kept your younglings under care." Aro nodded, "Jane, come along. I do apologize, she just never gets out much anymore. Neither does Alec or Caius. Carlisle, this brings me to another topic. There is an alternative motive of our arrival. I need you to take care of Caius, he has decided to convert and I don't bloody know why, but he wanted to come here to do it." Carlisle nodded, "We suspected as much. As long as he doesn't attack humans he is welcomed here." Aro looked at Jacob, "I realize this is your island as well, would you be opposed?" Jacob shook his head, he studied the blonde silent vampire. Caius felt the eyes and looked up, red and brown clashed, Caius seemed to open his eyes a little wider but then looked back down. "As long as he does not harm a human," Jacob said, "He is welcomed here." Aro nodded, "As punishment for attacking and foolishness Alec and Jane you're to be separated. Alec will be staying here and Jane will be going home with me."

Jane let out a growl but headed back to the beach where the ship was, Alec stared after her. A single word escaped his lips, "Why?" Aro shrugged, "I'm interested in seeing how everything develops. Aren't you?" Alec looked at Carlisle, "I didn't prepare to live off of animal blood Carlisle. I wasn't expecting to be left here." Alice twirled toward him and placed a hand on his shoulder, "We'll help you." As they all turned to walk back Jacob stopped, "Be sure he is ready for the celebration this Saturday. Edward is being initiated as my imprint." At this Caius lifted his head, "Are you two mates then?" Before anyone could reply Jacob denied it, "No. We are friends." Caius smiled, "Very well then."

That's a wrap. I apologize but after I counted the messages and reviews, many more people wanted Caius over Alec. I still included Alec simply because I'm fascinated. I think I want to make him a couple with Leah. Let me know more suggestions as well as any thing else you want to add. Thanks for the reviews, don't forget to leave more!
