I must have dozed off, because the next thing I knew, I was waking up in my bed with the sun shining through my window. I climbed out of bed, checking my clock and finding that it was ten in the morning.

I sighed, running a hand down my face and looked down at myself. I was still in my workout outfit, only my shoes off, and my hair was still up in a bun if the slight ache I felt at the back of my head said anything. Groaning softly, I walked into my bathroom and got ready for the day, before dressing in a pair of Calvin Klein skinny jeans, a blue top with a dream catcher design in silver, and knee high black boots with my moon and star necklace and usual ring.

Once I was dressed, I went downstairs, slightly surprised to see Charlie in the kitchen.

"Morning, sleepy head." He greeted, a teasing grin on his face.

"Morning, Charlie." I greeted, heading to the stove and preparing two ham and cheese omelets for myself and Charlie.

"You slept in kinda late, did the party wear you out too?" He asked, turning the page of his paper.

"Not really, I ended up having a bit of extra energy, so I went out for a run last night. I figured out that I was too wired at about eleven, so I got back at about eleven thirty." I said, coming up with a story on the spot.

He nodded, thankfully buying it as I placed his plate in front of him.

"Thanks." He said, before starting in on his omelet.

"No problem. So, where is Bella, anyway? I don't hear any whining, griping, or complaining." I said, making his mouth twitch.

"Still asleep. I guess parties aren't really her thing." He said.

I nodded and continued going about my business, knowing that the real reason she was still asleep was because of last night's training. The day seemed to speed by, and soon I was on the training field, firing my new arrows at targets that the Cullens had made by the time the broody duo showed up.

"Bella thinks that the creator of the army is Victoria." The brood master announced as he set Bella down.

I lowered my bow after firing another arrow, and turned to look at them incredulously.

"And how is she so sure?" I asked, walking over with the others to hear this.

"Laurent was in Denali, and they know how Alice's visions work. He came here to check on what protections I had while they were gone as a favor to her. He likely told her how to get around Alice's visions, so she's letting Riley make the decisions. It's why the army has my scent, they're coming for me." She said, and as much as I loathed to admit it, it made sense.

"Alright, so we take down Victoria along with the army. I'm sure she knows the consequences of creating one, and allowing it to get so out of control. She's likely doing this so that she can get her revenge for James' death, and then join him herself." I said, knowing that she had to be at least slightly suicidal with the death of her mate, it was just how vampires were.

With that said, everyone nodded and went back to training, this time working a little harder, knowing that we were up against a vengeful vampire whose mate had been taken from her.

I knew that I was safe from her wrath, likely due to James, but since Bella was the target, I would train harder. I may hate her for how she'd always treated me, but she was Charlie and Renee's daughter, so I would protect her.

Training seemed to both drag on, and fly by after the declaration of who the creator of the newborn army likely was, and soon, I was collapsing back in my bed at home.

Hi, so yeah, sorry about the short chapter this round but I just thought it was best to end this one where I did. I apologize for making you wait a bit for another chapter. I was going to update last night, but the fire alarm in my apartment building went off at midnight last night, and I just did not want to deal with anything after that. So, hope you guys like the chapter, another one will be up in a few! Love ya, and read and review!
