It's almost over, the suspense that come's down to the whole story is here, and it's a cliffy, don't expect an update soon. That is all, ENJOY!

I was dressed in pure white for the initiation ceremony.

I was waiting for my turn to go through stage one of the two stage ceremony. The other girls where nervous as we waited, I paced, I felt like something big was going to happen tonight.

"Bella," Kit said, I took a deep breath and my pledge sisters wished me good luck as I stepped off into a new chapter of my life.

I repeated my promises, pledging myself to the Theta's for my entire life, to always be a sister to any sister, young or old, then I was taken upstairs to another room.

We where all done and in the same room, and the second part would start. The feeling in the pit of my stomach was strong and an agents intuition wasn't to far off base, ever.

We where lead into the circle, still forming our own inner circle, our big sis's, Alice, was behind us, holding our shoulders. I heard something, but prayed it wasn't what I thought it was.

"Guys," Rosalie asked, I knew this wasn't part of the ceremony when the others started looking around. "Why is the siren going off?"

"I just got a text," Kit said. "A gun on campus, we are in lock-down."

I looked at Alice and ran, this is what I'd been training for, this was why I'd been feeling uneasy all day. I grabbed my clothes and changed, grabbing my gun and running back down stairs.

"Okay, here's the deal," I said, realizing that my gun might scare people since I had it at arms length pointed towards the door. "Oh," I flipped my badge at them. "I'm FBI, and I'm trained for this. What I need for you to do is stay inside, Alice and Rosalie are trained with taser's. Lock the doors, get into your rooms, first floor rooms, don't leave this house!"

I ran out the door and ran into Hunter.

"I was patrolling and heard the sirens, I can't get Dom or Ric. So I came over here to find you. I was about to bust in."

I thought for a moment. "Shit, they are on a date tonight. Phones go off. It's just us."

"Any idea where the gunman might be?"

"No, I don't want to go on a," I heard a gun shot in the distance and didn't finish my sentence, I took off running, Hunter close behind.

I ran faster than I'd ran in a long time, getting to the library, where horrors awaited us. There where already bodies scattered on the floor, I didn't see a shooter, so I went to the first person alive I saw. It was friend of mine from history class. Kari Connors.

"Kari, where did the gun man go?"

"Erin," Kari said before going silent, I felt for a pulse, I felt none, she was dead, along with others, but she'd given me a huge help. I prayed that she move on peacefully and she was forever in my gratitude for telling me that name.

"Hunter," I ran over to him. This was suicide, running head first into danger, that's why I didn't want my friends learning to wield guns. "I know who it is, it's my old roommate, Erin."

I heard another shot, this time from just a floor up. I knew where the gunman was, and I already had an idea of why she was pissed. I shot a text off to Alice hoping she'd know what to do. Then I got one to Edward, he'd know how to get a hold of Dom, who I sent a one word text to. Then Hunter and I ran head first into a suicide mission.

We raced up the stairs and found more bodies, people where huddled under chairs and blood was everywhere.

"Erin," I yelled. "Come out and face me like the monster you are."

"Is little Bella baby scared?" I heard from behind me, I turned but nobody was there, Hunter watched my back.

"I'm to fast for you," Erin teased.

"I get that you are pissed, I took Edward."

"You didn't take just Edward, you took my whole fucking life. Edward, the Theta's, my family, my friends, my sister!" She roared at the sister part.

"I don't understand," I yelled towards the room, people where trying to get out, but Hunter was motioning them to stay, the less movement, the less agitated Erin would be, also I keep her talking.

"You don't understand. Oh, Bella baby, let me tell you a little story," Erin laughed, she'd been taking some happy pills. "My life wasn't as perfect as it is now, I use to have friends and a family, a big sister who I could turn to when I needed something done, she was a bully you see, but she never picked on me." She laughed again and for the first time I knew who she sounded like.

"Tori was my best friend, but then she left to work for the FBI, she was great, amazing, then you come along and ruined her, she started talking more about you and less about me, she stopped hanging out with me, I loved her," Erin bellowed and I don't think she was talking about sibling love either. "Tori was my step-sister and you've killed her, she won't survive jail! I love her!"

Well, that made everything slightly less creepy, Erin finally came out of the shadows, I trained my gun on her, either way tonight, one of us would be dead and my choice was her, I had way to much to live for. I thought about Edward as I saw Erin's lips moving, like she was talking to herself and nobody else, but I wasn't listening, Hunter was staring at me. His gun trained on Erin as well.

Edward's bronze hair, the way I loved to tug it when he was making love to me, the way he'd kiss me on my neck, sucking so he would leave a mark.

I never felt the pain, but I saw the gun go off and I knew mine did to, but it was to late for me, everything went black, my dieing thoughts where of Edward.

"I love you, Edward."

EPOV

bomb at the theta house, girls on way, I love you. Find Dom!

I got the text from Bella just as I was walking to the house, just as Alice and the others came running to the Omega house. I opened the door, I finally heard the sirens going off, my brothers where running in terror. I counted heads once, all the girls where accounted for, except for Bella, most wearing white, tonight should have been their initiation. Bella's initiation. I knew she'd have run to find the gunman.

Alice and Rosalie started putting boys and girls in first floor rooms, that way should something happen, they could escape out windows, when I heard an explosion. I looked out the window and saw the Theta house in flames, thankful that Bella had figured something out and gotten her sisters out before it was to late.

I had been frantic, trying to reach Dom and Ric, finally running into Dom's room to see if he'd left any clue about where they where tonight. Finally a restaurant name. I called them and asked to speak with a Dom Harper.

I waited for hours it felt like, every once and a while I could hear gun shots on the other end of campus, I cringed each time.

"Edward, what is it?"

"We have a gun man on campus, Bella has went to find them and I can't find Hunter."

"We are on our way, stay at the house."

"Don't worry, the Theta's are here, their house just exploded."

"Stay put, we are on our way."

I nodded, knowing full well that they couldn't see me, then I shut the phone and turned on the television finding a news channel.

"Officials at Dartmouth started sounding the alarm just twenty minutes ago and if you are in the area, you need to be on your toes because we've already had one explosion near Greek Row. S.W.A.T. Teams and cops are all gathered around the library where it seems that this is all taking place. We know for fact that there is an FBI agent who was attending Dartmouth is inside," the reporter was saying.

Alice and Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper where behind them, came over to me and watched, we all stayed standing. Then I heard on both the television and with my own ears, three very distinct shots. I knew at that moment that it was all over. Somebody was dead, please, I prayed don't let it be my wife.

About ten minutes after the shots, survivors came running out. The reporter grabbed one.

"There was a stand off between two females, one named Erin and the other was a Bella, but Erin used a nick name, Bella baby."

I roared, punching the first thing I could find, the wall. This had been a set up with Victoria, trying to keep Bella from the trial. Emmett grabbed me as we watched television. I noticed that cops where starting to move in.

"Erin shot at Bella, Bella had amazing reflexes and her gun went off just a second after Erin's, her friend shot not to long after. All three of them went down. but I ran. I was scared to stay and help"

The reporter thanked them. I looked at my friends and knew what to do. I ran. My legs pumped harder than before, I had to find my wife.

"Dom," I yelled as I got to the scene, they where already bringing out the injured. Dom came over to me.

"It's bad, Keller is on his way, you caught the Bella baby part didn't you?" I nodded. "Yea, this could mean a lot for the trial. And with our star witness out, we have a problem."

"Is she," I let the sentence hang, Dom looked at me sadly, any lives lost today where bad, this one, well, there where no words.

I am dedicating this chapter to any and all students who have been part of a school shooting. No matter if you where directly or indirectly involved, it takes a toll on you. Just a year ago a gun was brought onto my old college campus and I have my sorority sisters there, even though I'm 200 miles from them now, and don't know them as well as I use to, I worried for their safety and all my friends and professor's safeties. Thankfully the town PD managed to secure the gun before anybody was hurt.
