"Okay make the line straight before crossing over" I mumbled to myself carving the design into the flat ruby stone in my hands, going through my spell book I found an ancient rune that could help protect a room against vampires, how lucky is that? Anyway, the only down side was it took a lot of power to make so I could only really do one room at a time, starting with mine just in case the stone didn't quite work.
"You almost done?" Embry moaned impatiently from where he was lounging around on my bed, sighing I rolled my eyes I loved him but sometimes. "So, how's the hunt for Victoria?" I asked, Embry just groaned in frustration answering my question. I couldn't blame him Victoria was proving to be quite the slippery wench always just out of reach of the pack.
"You know…" I tried only too be cut off by a low growl coming from Embry, he had made it very clear that he didn't want me anywhere near helping hunt for Victoria.
After it was revealed Victoria was coming after Bella I decided it was time to tell the pack about my status being a witch, in case there was anything I could do to help, giving the pack an advantage. But it turns out the pack already knew my secret.
Well I mean Sam already knew about me being a witch the leader of the pack was required to know his hand about the supernatural world. But I didn't mind my secret was safely kept until I was ready to share, I trusted Billy's judgement in telling Sam. As for the rest of the pack when I told them they where well shocked, but the news was taken well I even got to show off my magical skill.
They were impressed…. but had ultimately agreed with Embry that I shouldn't be out helping to catch Victoria which I argued the fact, but it only fell on deaf ears. I was brought out of my musings when I felt Embry come up behind me, peering over my shoulder looking over at the design carved into the second stone needed in completing the spell.
"Think you can stay over?" I asked looking over my shoulder "The spell takes about a day too make, I don't want to be alone" I said, smiling when he nodded before pecking me on the cheek. Before he backed up to sit back on my bed waiting for me to finish.
Slowly I moved the silver knife across the stone before carefully crossing over two lines against the circle, carving into the middle. Connecting the shapes together before lighting a magical fire and letting the stones glaze over before placing the ruby stone and the four others alike, in the four corners of my bedroom. Finally finishing the spell, I took in a breath hoping the rune would work before flopping down on the bed next to Embry.
Laying on my bed I sighed to myself thinking back on the last couple of days "I can't believe Bella got herself into this mess" I muttered shaking my head in disbelief, Embry humming in agreement. Vampires I mean… really?!I sighed snuggling next to Embry before bringing my face up to meet his "I love you" I whispered, he smiled "I love you too" he replied leaning down to kiss me and soon we both drifted off into sleep.

I saw it Charlie he was in the woods hunting for the pack, Harry stood behind Charlie covering up the wolf's tracks. Charlie walked forward when they're was a flash of red, it was Victoria she was standing behind Charlie she was ready to attack. Harry moved his hunting rifle trying too stop her, but his movements only turned her attention from Charlie toward Harry instead.
She moved forward grabbing Harry by the throat, when suddenly a large wolf appeared by tackling Victoria before she took off at lightning speed. The wolf sped after her as Harry fell toward the forest floor clutching his chest.
I gasped bolting up right looking around the room only to see I was by myself, Embry had already left for his patrol. I was alone in my bedroom the afternoon sun streaming through the window, wondering how long I had been asleep the spell must have really taken it out of me.
But I pushed the thought aside, moving through my daze I got up grabbing my phone and slipping on clothes as I went all the while dialing Charlie's number, but there was no answer shit! Running out the house I tried calling Sam's hoping somebody was over there and would answer and thank the Lord somebody answered the phone.
"Hello?" I heard Emily ask "Are any of the pack members with you!?" I demanded making my way to the tree line "I need to talk to one of them Now!" I shouted, hearing the urgency in my voice she didn't argue or even question me, and I heard the phone being shuffled.
"Jared, here" he answered, "I need you to warn the other pack members" I said pushing past the forest trees "That red headed bitch is going to attack Charlie and Harry!" I told him, and I heard Jared's sharp intake of breath. "What?!" he demanded "How do you know that?" he asked, and I could hear moving in the background "It's a witch, thing just Go!" I yelled before hanging up.
I ran as fast as I could into the woods trying to find the spot I had seen the attack happen, I finally reached the spot only they weren't there. Looking around desperately I turned only to smack straight into someone's chest.
Looking up I saw it was Sam "What happened?" I asked breathlessly "Did you guys get to them? Are they okay?" I demanded. That's when I saw Sam's expression "Charlie's fine but…" Sam took a breath looking pained "Harry had a heart attack and he didn't make it" he said, and I felt myself start to shake. No… I couldn't even… Harry he was like my uncle and… I felt tears well up in my eyes, but before Sam could say anything more I turn on my heel and ran.

I trudged home feeling numb, Harry he was like… no he was my family he and Sue and oh god Seth and Leah I can't even imagine losing their dad. Walking slowly up the driveway I heard a truck engine, looking over I saw it was only Bella and Jacob. Continuing up the front steps I left them too talk.
Opening the door, I turned on the light only to hear a voice behind me "Bella?" the voice asked turning around I let out a scream. Seeing who or what was standing before me, it was a short, small girl with pixie hair and pale skin her eyes were different but there was no mistaking… it was another cold one.
I jumped back in surprise, pressing myself against the wall as the front door slammed open and Bella came rushing in. Bella's eyes quickly took in the room "Alice?!" Bella asked her eyes landing on the vampire before tackling said pixie into a tight hug.
"Bella?" the vampire apparently named Alice asked in confusion, glad she wasn't the only one confused. Bella pulled back shaking her head "I'm sorry ii-t's just, I can't believe you're here and…" Bella sputtered before being cut off by the pixie.
"Would you like to tell me how your alive?!" Alice asked looking shocked, but Bella didn't respond looking confused, okay again glad I'm not the only one confused… what am I missing here?
"I had a vision of you jumping off a cliff" she explained "Why in the hell would you try to kill yourself?" she demanded but It was Bella's turn to cut her off. "I didn't try to kill myself, I was cliff diving…. for fun" Bella said trying to explain as I peeled myself off the wall. Moving I couldn't help but give Bella an our you insane look? I wasn't the only one to give her said look.
