God, I hate school so much. I've barely gotten 10-15 hours of sleep from Monday until last night, and I'm probably going to get only 2 hours of sleep tonight because I have a HUGE test to study for, and I almost got grounded for almost failing a Romeo and Juliet quiz because I can't pay attention to the story when I'm fixing the reader's mistakes every .5 seconds. It's so annoying. Anyways, my apologies for the delay of this chapter, I've barely been able to get on the computer or even draw, much less write a story, although I try to during my lunch period. I'm actually at lunch right now finishing the story although I can't post in the library because of freaking blocker things even though they allow it in the middle school. Actually, I have also been going hungry because I never have time to eat. This chapter is a little boring but important, sort of. So read it please. Do not be deterred from a good story by the length of time it takes to get a chapter out. I will try to get them out faster. Anyways again, here's the story.

The week passed quickly. There was so much to do and so little time. Actually, there was so much time and so little to do. And, truthfully, the week passed slowly.
There were two overcast days in which we went to the city and just had fun.
Those were the best days.
The rest of the days were filled with doom and gloom about the upcoming battle and my impending danger. It almost caused me to go insane.
Edward, Alice, Renesmee, and Jacob constantly bothered me and stared at me, the look in their eyes telling me that they were worried. I didn't need that kind of pressure. I was already worried enough, despite my calm façade.
The final sunset of the week-long wait found the family and I hunting. We were planning on leaving at midnight.
I was laughing at one of Emmet's jokes when Edward came up behind me and kissed the top of my head, holding me as tight as he could, as though he would never let me go, ever.
I turned around and hugged him back, squeezing as tight as I could without hurting him. It was good to see Edward smiling, since he had continuously gotten angry at me getting to fight and possibly getting captured, or worse, killed. It was also refreshing to see him actually giving into my will instead of being controlling.
Or, maybe he had just thought of a plan that could keep me from getting hurt, or even from fighting.
I opened up my mind to him, willing him to understand why I needed to help protect my family.
I felt him shake his head.
"Angel, it's not that I don't understand your reasoning, it's just my inability to be able to let you do things that could get you hurt or captured," he said in a whisper, barely audible, even for vampire ears.
I started to disagree with him, but he stopped me. "Wait, let me explain," he continued. "Even though I would love for you not to fight, I will not take your decision away from you."
I nodded. "Thank you," I said. Then, in a more happy mood again, part of my façade, I said, "Come on, let's get back to the house." He looked like he hadn't realized everyone had already gone back.
He smiled and nodded in reply.
We got back to the house in record time, and we arrived at a relatively empty house. Carlisle and Esme decided it would be best if we shipped all of our items to our destination after the battle.
Forks.
So, all of our items had been shipped to Forks on the second day of our last week here, hoping that it will get there before we checked in on it on our way to Denali.
As Edward and I walked into the house, Carlisle called us to the living room, probably saying it was time to leave.
Walking in the room, we noticed everyone already standing, ready in their traveling clothes, although, in our case, we only really needed the hiking boots.
"We must leave soon, but, I have," he looked over at Esme, "we have, decided that Alice and Jasper should leave first so that they can reach Denali and be back before we get too far." We nodded, understanding the need but, I personally, did not want them to leave. "Now, we've gone over the traveling plan, correct?" Again, we nodded. He looked over at Alice and Jasper. "Call us when you reach Denali so you can tell us whether they will allow us there or not. Then come back." They nodded. "We'll tell you where we are when you call."
"Well, I could just use my powers to find you all," Alice said.
"Yes, but we need you to keep watch on the Volturri."
She nodded. "I understand," she said, although she didn't look like she did.
"If our plan of Denali doesn't work out, we will go on and head to Forks early. You can head there if Tanya says no."
She nodded again, but I looked down, feeling sad about what will happen to all those kids that will turn into werewolves just for our sakes. But, at least, unlike Sam, they would have a pack leader: Jacob.
They wouldn't have to go through all the pain and confusion that Sam did.
But, we had no idea if they would help or fight us.
It was another "if" issue. We already had enough of those. One of them including if I got captured or not.
I walked over to Alice and gave her a hug.
"Be safe," I told her.
She looked at me, grinned and said, "You're the one that needs to be safe, my danger-magnet-sister."
I rolled my eyes then looked at Jasper. "The same goes for you," I warned.
He laughed.
"We'll be fine. Don't worry," Alice said. "I don't see any danger for us on our way to Denali. And, if I do see any, I'll make sure that we avoid it on our way back."
"Good idea," Carlisle said, nodding his head in agreement. "But, also don't forget to keep an eye on the Volturri, and warn us if they start to move."
She sighed and laughed. "Carlisle, you've already said that."
He laughed too. "Alright, but just make sure to stay safe."
"Sheesh, I told you I will," she said, laughing again. "But, we better get going if we're to leave and get back before you guys get too far.
Everyone finished saying their goodbye's and Alice and Jasper left, sort of like the last time but this time we actually knew they were leaving.
Déjà vu.
An hour later, we left, too.
"Where are we headed first?" Esme asked Carlisle.
"Egypt, so we can get Amun, Kebi, Benjamin, and Tia."
We nodded. He clearly had this all under control.
And, with a last look at the house we were leaving behind, we were off.

Okay. How about this. I promise to get another chapter out by tomorrow. This one really wasn't that great but, a reply would still be greatly appreciated.
