"How do we know you're telling us the truth, Jasper Hale?" Nikolas asked.

"What reason do I have to lie to you?" Jasper raised an eyebrow.

"You're going to risk your life for your brother's mate?" Nikolas didn't believe him.

"She's family," Jasper replied.

Sonya snorted.

"And you're collateral?" she asked.

"Yes," Jasper nodded.

"Um, can I ask a question?" Bella spoke up.

"Fine," Nikolas sighed.

"How is it that you all exist?" Bella asked.

"Our ancestors were Quileutes. While we were in the womb, vampires attacked our mothers. They were bitten, changing everything inside our bodies. Our mothers were turned into vampires while our DNA only half-mutated. We were different from the other Quileute children, yet there was nothing we could do. Once the tribal elders found out what we were, we were thrown off the reservation," Nikolas told Bella and Jasper.

"How long ago was all this?" Bella wanted to know.

"Hundreds of years ago," Sonya replied.

"Why do you want to kill us?" Jasper demanded.

"Because, it was your kind that caused us to be outcasts," Nikolas snapped.

"but why not the Quileutes? They treated you like outcasts and threw you off the reservation," Bella said.

Nikolas opened his mouth to say something, and then closed it again. Obviously Bella had a point. Then something Sonya had said threw Bella off guard.

"Wait, you said this happened hundreds of years ago," she said.

"Yes," Nikolas nodded.

"Was it before or after the treaty the Quileutes made with the Cullens?" Bella asked.

"What treaty?" Sonya demanded.

"Carlisle made a treaty with the tribal leader when they came here for the first time. They can't attack us, we can't go onto their land or bite anyone," Jasper said.

"I don't remember this," Nikolas shook his head.

"Then that's why the Quileutes made the treaty in the first place. To keep the vampires off their land because of what happened to your mothers," Bella said.

"You do realize that you're giving us more incentive to kill you and not them?" Nikolas laughed.

"True, but the vampires, at least us, would have been way more willing to accept you," Jasper said.

Sonya looked at Nikolas.

"They have a point," she said.

Nikolas took a second to think.

"We will help you, but we require one of you after the war is over," he told Bella and Jasper.

"Done," Bella agreed.

"Where is this going on?" Sonya demanded.

"At the border of the reservation tonight at midnight," Jasper replied.

"We'll meet you there," Nikolas told them.

Bella and Jasper left the clearing and when Bella saw Edward, she ran into his arms.

"Bella, I can't tell you how terrified I was," Edward said.

"Oh Edward, that was the scariest moment of my life. I'm so glad you're here," Bella was shaking.

Alice was glaring at Jasper.

"You do know I heard you say that I had no choice?" she demanded.

Jasper bit his lip.

"I'm sorry, but I had to," he told her.

"No, you didn't!" Alice yelled.

Edward put a hand on Alice's shoulder and stepped between her and Jasper.

"It's over and done with," he told them.

"Who's going with the hybrids when all this is over?" Emmett asked.

"We'll have to decide that when this is over," Carlisle said.

The seven Cullens all looked at each other. Bella looked at Rosalie, who just glared at her. Edward let out a low growl.

"You need to get over yourself and be civil with Bella. I'm sick and tired of you being jealous of her!" he snapped.

Everyone looked at Edward in shock. He had never yelled at any of his family before.

"Edward, what is wrong with you?" Esme asked.

"Rosalie told Bella that she hated her. And that she was jealous, and she is the reason Bella is out here in the first place," Edward replied, angry.

Emmett stared at Rosalie.

"Rose, why are you jealous of Bella?" he asked.

"Because, when I first came to the Cullens, Edward was meant for me. It doesn't matter that we didn't see each other that way. He was meant for me. And then when Edward bit Bella, I lost Alice. She was my friend first. And how could she choose to be a vampire? I would have given anything to be human again. I hate her," Rosalie glared at Bella.

"Well then… I'm not exactly sure what to say," Carlisle said.

"I don't see why we just don't give Bella to the hybrids," Rosalie hissed under her breath.

"That's enough," Jasper snapped.

Emmett growled at Jasper and then Alice growled at Emmett. Soon, Rosalie was growling at Alice and Jasper was growling at Rosalie.

"Hey!" It's 8 right now. We have four hours before we go to way," Bella told everyone.

"She's right," Edward said.

Carlisle cleared his throat.

"Can't we go an entire day without trouble?" he asked.

"No, we can't," Esme laughed.
