I do not own any of the twilight characters

I am twisting a lot of things in this story. Edward can read Bellas mind. It's been I say 6 years still the last war. The clues are for Ash to get ready for the fight but without putting the others in danger, the Cullens don't want to get on the wrong side of the vampire world.

Chapter 9

The next few days following everyone just went on with their lives. Trying to pretend a war was not coming upon us, trying to keep everyone's mind clean just in case Aro wanted to play games. I refused to leave the house unless Embry or Seth was with me. Not even Allen could protect me in these circumstances. I slept in the guest room, right next to Alice and Jaspers room. Everyone thought those two would have the best bet on saving me if anything happened. Embry slept on the too small couch in the living room, trying to be the best body guard there was.

I laid on my back on the plush carpet staring outside the glass wall. The moon was full and lit up everything, the stars were surrounding it trying to showcase how beautiful the night was. I knew no one was asleep, not even Embrys snores were reaching my ears. We all seemed a little restless tonight and I wasn't sure why just yet.

Until a heard a piece of paper sliding against the carpet.

I turned my head and saw a note lying on my side of the door now. I took a deep breath before sitting up slowly and tossing my hair into a bun. As a walked over to pick up the note when I noticed it was the first clue. Collin or Brady must have been able to drop it off. They were finally telling me something about the war! Something I would have to do to help. To survive.

When the snow sticks, be ready.

The letter confused me, it was only the beginning of August. Snow wouldn't come until at least late October or November. Why would they be waiting months to come and take me? Did they really need that long to get a plan together?

I stuck it on the nightstand and slipped on my shoes quietly. As I opened my door I poked my head out looking around but no one was to be found. I knew it was late but that didn't mean anything, the past few nights I still heard people out and about around 4am. I walked down the steps pulling a hoodie on that Bella had given to me earlier that day.

Embry was in front of me as soon as I hit the bottom step, I guess he was just as awake as I am.

"Want to go to the beach?" He asked quietly with a small gesture to the door. I looked at the clock on the wall, it was 2am but honestly I didn't feel tired. Just anxious. I ended up nodded and we slipped out the door and ran. He phased when he noticed he couldn't keep up with me. We jumped over the river in sync and landed with silence. The one thing I enjoy about Embry, he doesn't push me. In human form he waits until I want to talk or move to do anything. In wolf form he waits until I stopped and look at him to talk or to just rest. When we finally rounded the bend for the ocean I stopped.

Not because of any smell this time either.

No, I stopped because of how beautiful this place was.

The waves were rough but the moon beat off of them like they were playing. The whole area seemed like something out of a fairytale and I was here seeing it. The sand looked like it was glowing in the dark and I could see creatures enjoying the water too. I knew Embry had phased back but instead of waiting for him to talk I just reached for his hand and dragged him to the water. Well I guess he let me drag him and pull him with me. I wadded into the water and dove in.

I held my breath until Embry had to pull me up, I guess I scared him.

"What are you doing crazy girl?" He laughed at me but it had a nervous hint behind it. I just laughed and enjoyed the water knocking me down and Embry pulling me back up.

I felt normal.

I felt normal with him.

After some time my teeth started chattering. Embry was on his back floating while watching the stars twinkle and putting out different ones to me. But when he heard my teeth he stopped and came over to me. He slipped an arm around my shoulders hesitantly pulled me close. We didn't say anything. Just stood to the best of our abilities and let him hold me close.

This is what my life was supposed to be like.

Having fun. Laughing. Feeling safe.
