While cleaning up the (now) trash hole we called our house, Alice and everyone filled me in on everything. James, Victoria, Laurent, the Volturi meeting in Italy last year between Edward, Bella and Alice, how everyone left Forks when Bella and Edward broke up when there was an accident involving Jasper...they told me everything. I got a chance to ask my questions and they tried to answer everything they could. They still had no idea who was after Bella and that it was highly unlikely that all of this was the Volturi's idea. Like I had thought, the Volturi wouldn't have gone so far with their plan to kill Bella and Alice would've seen them by now in her visions. It made no sense that the Volturi would be making a newborn army. It would drive unwanted attention towards our...species.

"Well...tonight should be interesting." I said, changing the subject while still filling my trash bag with empty cups and plastic silverware. "That's for sure." Emmett laughed. "It'll be nice to learn how to fight a werewolf though. I have a feeling it won't be the first time I'll feel the need to chuck that Jacob kid against a cement wall." Everyone stopped what they were doing. "Except you aren't going." Rosalie said, stern. "What?" I said, genuinely shocked. "Honey, you are not going to be fighting in this. You're half human, sweetie. You could really get hurt." I dropped the trash bag that was nearly half full on to the floor. "What!" I repeated, louder. "Awe, c'mon. I think it would be funny to see Purple wrestle a few dogs." Emmett chimed in. "Thank you!" I said. Rosalie snapped her head at Emmett with fire in her eyes. "Or not..." he muttered, looking at me apologetic. "Well...she is technically a newborn still. She's stronger than all of us right now still, even if she is half human." Alice said, sounding like she was thinking out loud more than telling anyone. "We really need everyone we got in order for this to work out in our favor." Jasper agreed. I nodded and smiled at Esme, hoping she would change her mind. "I don't like the idea of her fighting either but I don't think we really have a choice. I think all we can do is properly prepare her and train hard. Jasper's right, we need everyone on deck." Carlisle said, wrapping his arm around Esme's shoulder. Esme sighed in defeat while Rosalie sighed in frustration. As happy as I was though that I was gonna learn how to properly kick ass...I was still terrified for the war that was inevitably coming. Not knowing who was after us and why...it made no sense to any of us.

After everything was cleaned up and properly febreezed (Man, teenagers are gross) I went upstairs to change. What do you even wear when you're gonna be in a forest at 3am learning how to properly fist fight? I sighed and walked over to the bathroom. I flipped on the lights and turned on the faucet to wash my face. I could slightly smell Seth's scent. He obviously hadn't actually used the bathroom. Maybe he was embarrassed to actually use my "facilities". I held back a giggle. But I was confused... the werewolves earlier said that this was their job more than ours. Like, they were created for this stuff. Were their jobs hunting vampires? Jasper said this would be the first time that werewolves and vampires would be working together. But if werewolves and vampires are some kind of natural born enemies, then how were Jacob and Bella able to be so close? I know Edward left a while back...but that was for her protection. So one monster left town so she settles for the next best thing? As confused and kinda ticked as I was, I had to keep an open mind. Besides, Bella's being friends with these wolves would now probably end up saving all of our asses. If they didn't betray us anyway... My thoughts went back to Seth. The way he looked at me...it was weird.
I splashed some water cheeks and rubbed some on my neck as well. Snap out of it... I hoped the coldness would clear my mind. Seth, if anything, was probably just spying on me. Seeing if us Cullens had any tricks up our sleeves or if having a party with a newborn in the same household was a good idea. Which would explain why Jacob was on his heels. He would've protected him if "the newest leech" tried anything. I suppressed a snarl. They don't even know me. I growled inside my head. I patted my face with a towel and tried to calm down, though now I felt super ready to kick a wolf in the face. "C'mon, Jasper, you totally just cheated!" I heard Emmett yell downstairs. The thought of Emmett and Jasper fighting over video games calmed me down. I smiled at the thought actually. We weren't monsters. We could be if we wanted to...but we weren't. "We're the good guys." I remember Edward telling me after I had woken up and Carlisle attempted to calm me down.

I took a deep breath and walked over to my closet. I was extremely thankful that my hormones had calmed down since my first day being awake from my transformation. God, I was the definition of an angsty teenager. Carlisle had said every emotion would be heightened and harder to suppress but...man, I hated myself for a while. I was extremely thankful that every day became easier. Everyone told me it would but it was hard to believe them... I still didn't remember anything from my past life, I still didn't have a name, and I still had no idea where I came from. But it was easier to accept now. I had a family and, for all I knew, it was more than what I had before my vampire life. Carlisle still did research on me but he also got better at just accepting it. Answers would come to us with time, if we even wanted answers at that point. We still never found any police reports that matched my description, there was no news of my being missing from anywhere or anyone, and Carlisle never found a match when he took a sample of my DNA and sent it to labs (perks of being a friendly and rich doctor) for testing. For all we knew, I just fell out of the sky that one day. And though I don't know who was chasing me in the forest or if they would ever come back for me, I was finally becoming content with myself and this life with the Cullens.

I yawned, just now realizing how tired I was but I wanted to be there tonight. I needed to support my family. And besides, maybe I didn't even really need sleep that much since I was half vampire. After scanning the closet for a few minutes, I decided on a dark gray tank top and plain black leggings. I threw on some running shoes, and tied my hair in a high ponytail. I didn't have anyone to impress, but after a quick glance in the mirror, I could still look hot and make a few wolves regret their bad attitude with me...right? I thought about attempting to mimic Alice's makeup tips that she showed me a while ago but I knew I would get sweaty tonight and I didn't want to try and then fail and end up looking like a circus clown. I took a deep breath and decided that this was as good as it was gonna get. I glared at the "eyelash curler" contraption. "Another time, devil device." I made my way downstairs to see Emmett and Jasper playing some game called "Bioshock" and Esme and Carlisle were at the kitchen table. Esme reading a some book about eating and praying and Carlisle was on his laptop. "Let's go kick some butt!" I said, smiling. Emmett's laugh boomed throughout the whole house. "Stick with me, Purple."

Seths POV:

At three am on the dot, we arrived where the Cullen's had told us to meet them. It looked like a private baseball field. Private because, well, it was in the middle of no where. Most of the Cullen's were already here...including her. Everyone in the pack was pissed and confused as to how I could imprint on a Cullen...on a vampire... and I don't know how or why, but I did. This new Cullen family member...whatever her beautiful name was, I still didn't know...I imprinted on her. I loved her, even though I didn't even know her. "You what?!" Edward yelled, silencing everyone. He had heard us before everyone saw us. Suddenly, me and her made eye contact. Her beautiful green eyes were still piercing, even if we were in the dead dark of the night. Her eyes widened, along with her mouth, making a beautiful and sexy "O" with her lips.

You are disgusting. How in the fuck could you imprint on a vampire. Jacob spat at me. I ignored him as best as I could. Being able to communicate through our thoughts when we were in wolf form was a blessing and a curse... "Edward, what's wrong?" Carlisle asked. "Things just became a million times more complicated..." He hissed. She didn't seem to be paying attention, still staring at me in shock. "They're huge." She whispered to the big buff one next to her. I think his name was Emmett. "No one told me they were...Jesus, they're as big as horses." She continued. No shit, Sherlock. Jacob continued. I turned to growl at him. I heard her gasp but I didn't stop. "Edward what's wrong," Bella whispered softly. "Wolf hormones." He muttered. They continued to whisper back and forth but not about me or my wolf hormones. It was about the newborns and some girl named Victoria. "Damn," The Emmett guy (if I'm right about his name) said under his breath. "Did you ever see anything like it?" The red haired wife of the doctor and the blondie exchanged a wide-eyed glance when we came better into their view. "What is it?" Bella asked, even more quiet than before. "The pack has grown," Edward answered for her. Yeah, there was ten of us now. "Fasinating." Someone whispered.

Everyone's thoughts were suddenly silent. Waiting to see what the next move was.

"Welcome," the blonde doctor said, Carlisle. Thank you. Sam responded in his head. "Thank you," Edward "translated" for his family. We will watch and listen, but no more. That is the most we can ask of our self-control. Edward repeated the words. "That is more than enough," Carlisle answered. "My son Jasper-" he gestured to where yet another blonde vampire stood, tensed and ready- "has experience in this area. He will teach us how they fight, how they are to be defeated. I'm sure you can apply this to your own hunting style." They are different from you? After Edward translated, Carlisle nodded. "They are all very new- only months old to this life. Children, in a way. They will have no skill or strategy, only brute strength. Tonight their numbers stand at twenty. Ten for us, ten for you - we are already at an advantage and it shouldn't be difficult. The number may go down still, the new ones fight amongst themselves."

That's it? C'mon, we could fight all twenty by ourselves.

That'll be much easier than we thought. It's a very well thought out plan.

I still can believe we're gonna be working with them but... oh well. It means less of a threat for Forks.

We are willing to take more than our share, if necessary, Sam boomed, capturing our attention and silencing us again. Carlisle smiled and even Edward sounded less indifferent now. "We'll see how it plays out." Do you know when and how they'll arrive? "They'll come across the mountains in four days, in the late morning. As they approach, Alice will help us intercept their path." Thank you for the information. We will watch. With our minds more at ease with a plan, we one by one sat down to watch the vamps play fight. It was silent for two heartbeats, and then Jasper took a step into the empty space between our two teams. Vampires vs. werewolves. He sighed, and threw a wary glance toward Edward, who then nodded, and then Jasper turned his back to us. He was clearly uncomfortable. "Carlisle's right." Jasper spoke only to his family, seeming to ignore there were ten vampire fighting wolves behind him. "They'll fight like children. The two most important things you'll need to remember are, first, don't let them get your arms around you and, second, don't go for the obvious kill. That's all they'll be prepared for. As long as you come at them from the side and keep moving, they'll be too confused to respond effectively, Emmett?" "No way, Purple goes first. She's an actual newborn." So I was right about his name, but I suddenly wanted to bite his head off when he pushed her into the circle of attention with Jasper.

Girl POV

Emmett, I'm going to kill you. I said in my head, wishing for two seconds that he was the one who could read minds. "Are you comfortable with this?" Jasper asked before going any further. I looked at Edward who was smirking and nodded once. I looked back to Jasper and shook my head yes. "Try not to break anything, Purple." Emmett muttered. I had half a mind to just start attacking Emmett instead of Jasper. "Focus," Jasper grinned. "Newborns rely on their strength. They're very straightforward about the attack. They won't be trying anything subtle, either. Just go for the easy kill, darlin." Jasper backed up a few more paces, his body tensing. "Just yell out if it's too overwhelming." I tensed as well, giving into my animal side. "Same for you, cowboy." And I couldn't see Jasper anymore - he was almost a blur as I charged for him. But as seconds passed, my vampire side strengthened. I was only milliseconds away from him when suddenly he would disappear again. After chasing and grabbing and growling for a few more seconds, just when I thought I had him, he managed to pin me down to the forest ground. I cussed in frustration. There was a muttered rumble of appreciation from the watching wolves. "Again," I insisted. Jasper's smile faded, along with silence from the wolves. "You're bleeding," Once he said the words, I smelled it too. It was weird smell, coppery like normal blood but there was something else that I couldn't put my finger on. I couldn't tell if it was a good or bad smell...it was just...weird. I tried to get up and automatically felt the pain. It was in the exact same place in my back when the red eyed vampire threw me against a tree in the forest not too far away from here... Nothing had penetrated, no sticks or anything, but all of a sudden it felt like all the bones I had broken that one day were broken all over again. I couldn't help but scream from the pain. It slowly set in and then suddenly hit me all at once. What the hell! I screamed in my head. "Oh my god, Emmett carry her home," Esme ordered. Emmett grabbed me and tried to carry me bridal style but as soon as I felt my head lift from the ground, my stomach churned. Turning the other way so I didn't blow chunks on Emmett, everyone gasped. There was blood. Lots of it. I could smell it. "Carlisle, you need to take her to the hospital. You don't have the equipment here that you need and she needs help, Carlisle now! Please!" I felt like I didn't have any control over my body. "Her spine..." Bella whispered, her voice frantic.
I wanted to wipe my mouth of whatever vomit remained but I was losing consciousness fast. The sandy colored wolf was suddenly next to me. I knew as soon as I saw those soft brown eyes earlier, the light beige werewolf was him. "Seth," was my last word before I was engulfed in the darkness.
