Hey guys,

Here is the next chapter; it wasn't too long of a wait.

Edward's hand rubbed up and down my arm as I lay on his chest. Morning light filtered through the blinds as we lay together peacefully enjoying each others company. Last night had been amazing but when wasn't it?

Nothing could ruin my happiness. Or so I thought.

"She's gone!" Alice yelled running into the room, banging open the door in the process.

I pulled the sheet up tighter around me while Edward glared at her.

"Oh, whoops." She laughed. Something told me she knew we weren't up yet.

"Who's gone Alice?" I asked wanting to get rid of her so we could go back to being peaceful and just lying there together.

"Tanya, we went to check on her this morning and she was gone. Her luggage as well." She explained.

Alice sounded worried, so Tanya left. What's the big deal with that? Were we missing something?

"Give us five minutes and we will be down." Edward's voice was worried. I was missing something big.

Alice hurried out of the room closing the door on the way out leaving me lying with Edward becoming more and more paranoid by the minute.

Getting up I quickly got dressed as Edward did the same. I wore jeans and a red blouse that was a bit too tight for my liking but I didn't have time to be picky.

We ran downstairs into the lounge to find the rest of the family sitting around Alice. Her eyes had a foggy far away look in them, she was getting a vision.

Edward's growl erupted through the silent room,

"How could she!?"

"What is it Edward? What is Alice seeing?" Carlisle asked calmly though worry was evident in his voice.

"Tanya didn't leave to go home." Alice continued on from there.

"She overheard Emmet and Bella talking about how she's a vampire but has werewolf blood in her. She is so jealous of Bella that she is going to the Volturi to tell them." If I was human, all the blood would have drained from my face.

"That's not the worst of it though; I can see the Volturi coming here…to kill us all." Alice's voice had gone to barely a whisper.

Despair was on all of our faces. Now I understood what was so wrong with Tanya leaving.

"What are we going to do?" Esme asked holding onto Carlisle's hand.

"We will fight." Everyone agreed. The only way was to fight, but could we win.

"Wait," Alice smiled, "We could win, we have Bella's shield."

"That takes out most of the guard's powers." Emmet said looking happy that a fight was to come but I guess that was how Emmet was.

Edward's head snapped up in surprise, I followed his gaze to the door which was suddenly knocked upon. I floated over to the door carefully clearing my face of all worry before opening it wide to welcome the visitor.

Jacob stood in the door, now that he had imprinted we were friends again though some things still pained me to remember.

"Hey Jake, do you want to come in?" I asked forcing a smile out.

He looked at my face then asked a question I wished he hadn't, "What's wrong Bells? You don't need to plaster on the fake face for me."

I stepped out from the door allowing him to come in.

"This place is all doom and gloom, finally seems like a vampire's lair." Jake joked trying to lighten the mood unsuccessfully.

"A family friend of ours has gone and told the Volturi that Bella has werewolf blood in her and now they intend to come and slaughter us all." Edward winced at my use of words but I wasn't going to lie to Jake anymore.

His mouth opened in surprise before he closed it again,

"What can I do to help?"

"Nothing Jacob, all that we can do is fight." Edward told him sadly.

"Then I'll fight with you, and so will the rest of the pack. And don't try to change my mind, bloodthirsty vampires are our specialty. If they come to Forks, we fight anyway." Jacob's mind could not be changed now he had made up his mind.

"Thank you Jacob, we have a better chance with the pack involved." Carlisle told him warmly.

It seems a bit like Breaking Dawn but this had to happen, it will end differently though so don't worry. =]
