Chapter 7

Bella's Point of View

"What is she talking about?" asked Jacob.

He took a step forward but was stopped by Rosalie.

"Don't come any closer dog." She said.

"Do I really irritate you that much?" asked Jacob. Rosalie turned to him without caution.

"Rose stop! Leave Jacob alone. We have more important things to worry about." Esme said. Rosalie growled and turned back to Alice.

"Alice, there was no one you recognized?" asked Carlisle.

"None. But there were new additions." She said.

"The army grows stronger." Said Carlisle.

"Hold up. What damn army?" Jacob asked.

"An army of vampires. They have been created for reasons unknown. They have brought too much attention to themselves." Said Carlisle.

"Well are you going to handle that?" asked Jacob.

"That depends on how many there are. Alice, from what you have seen, how many would be your guess?" Carlisle asked.

"From what I've seen, I say about eighteen." Replied Alice.

"There's only seven of us." Said Emmett.

"Wait. Wasn't there another blond here? Where's Jasper?" Jacob asked.

"He's out hunting. And her just ran into Jade and her friends." Said Alice.

"What are they doing?" I asked.

"Just walking. They will be fine Bella." Said Alice.

"Jacob, do you think Sam will be up to an agreement?" asked Carlisle.

"What kind of agreement?" asked Jacob.

"Although some of us are gifted, it won't be enough against eighteen newborns. Jasper will explain when he gets back." Said Carlisle.

"When who gets back?" asked Jasper as he walked up the stairs.

"We will talk in a minute Jasper." Said Esme.

"The wolves are here to protect the people of Forks. Will you ask Sam if he will be up to fight alongside us?" asked Carlisle.

"Wait fight?" I asked.

"Bella it's the only way to destroy them." Said Edward.

"Look at us Bella. Working together. You are the one that wanted this. Besides, at least we get to kill some vampires." Said Jacob.

"But what about Jade? She smells just like me. I can't have my new sister and her friends running around here with a sweet scent." I said.

"Bella, Jade, Christina, Jackie, Bailey and Alycia can handle themselves." Said Alice.

"And how do you know?" I asked. "Did you really just ask me that question?" said Alice.

"Sorry." I said.

"You do realize the more vampires step foot on this and the easier it will be for them to phase." Said Alice.

"For who to phase?" asked Jacob.

"Bella's sister and her friends." Said Alice.

"They're wolves?" asked Emmett.

"Yup. And you will watch over them when they do phase." I said as I turned and pointed my finger to Jacob.
