Hello loves. I had a bit of a problem this morning getting the chapter done. I had it almost finished last night, and saved and everything, but my computer decided to conspire against me and delete everything. So, I had to re-type it all today. Its not as long as it was supposed to be, so I apologize now.

I would like to thank the wonderful reviewers, who have shown so much love for the fanfic. I really appreciate it. I would also love to thank Chris the amazing for helping me come up with the death.


Chapter Ten - Surprise

"Wait! You'll be what if something happens to Jacob?" I stood up looking at Seth. My eyes wide as they could go.

My mind wandered for a second. I turned to look into Edward's eyes. His eyes were blank, just like his face. He knew more than I.

"Oh. What happened to Sam?" I asked turning back to Seth and Jacob.

"He...died. He was...electrocuted." His face, I imagined, was still blank. He grabbed my wrist.

My head turned to look straight into the woods. I couldn't look at any of them. I felt a hot hand touch my left hand, as if someone was holding it. The next moment, the feeling was gone, and so was my bracelet. The only thing in my hand now was a heart-shaped diamond; hard, cold, and lifeless in my hand.

Jacob took off back into the woods, his body quivering. Seth took one glace back at Edward and I, then followed after Jacob Black.

"Edward? How did this..." He cut me off by putting his index finger up to my lips. He grabbed my right hand and took off back toward the house.

We were there in no time. It was awkward. I never really realized how fast Edward ran. It felt as if I was flying behind him. My body waving in the wind.

Alice was waiting for us as soon as we got to the house. She was sitting on the stairs, just as she had done almost a week before, when I had picked up her and Jasper.

She ignored me as she began to speak to Edward in hushed tones, pulling him away from me. Edward stopped her for a moment to look at me.

"Can you do me a favor, love?"

I looked at him intently, waiting for the favor that he requested of me.

"Please, get Jasper. Alice and I need to speak with him as a family. Then, go up to our room and wait for me."

I stared at him. Did he really just say that to me? "No. I don't think I will. I'm part of the family too. I want to know what is going on. You made the choice to make me part of your family, the day that you told me that you loved me." My stubbornness showed.

Alice beamed at me. She knew it was the truth. She was the one that had told me that he planned to marry me right then and there if he could have in the first place. It seemed as if she was no longer mad at me. Which was a good thing. I didn't know how much more I could take of it.

Jasper came down the stairs. His face beaming at me as well. Something must have went on while Edward and I were gone. How long were we gone in the first place? It couldn't have been too long.

Jasper carried baseball equipment. "Alice says we can play a small game later. Now, what do you need me for?"

He sat the equipment down on the floor, moving the rest of us in toward the kitchen. Edward was the first to speak.

"We met the werewolves. They have a new leader. A lot has happened since we have been gone. Stuff that Carlisle told me about before we left. He didn't get much into detail though."

Alice and Jasper both hissed a little bit at the mention of werewolves. "Who?" Was the only thing they said.

It was my turn to speak. "Jacob is the new leader. Something, happened to Sam. Edward knows more about it, but its still unclear what happened. He won't tell me everything."

Just then, Edward put his hand on my shoulder. "Bella, you might want to sit down for this. I know how close you were to the dogs." I did as he said, quick as possible. I wanted to hear the rest of the story. "Sam and Emily were walking during a bad storm. Lightening struck a power line and it fell down on both of them. They were both electrocuted to death. There have been other deaths too. Someone has been trying to kill them off."

I gasped. I knew in an instant why Jacob had ran off like he did. Could he have possibly thought it was us?

"Quil would have been the original second, but he moved away. He managed to imprint, but the girl didn't want to stay in La Push. He still keeps in contact with the rest of the pack though, on occasion. With Quil being gone, and some of the others having bizarre things happen to them, it made Seth the second in command."

Now I understood. Jacob had ordered Seth to not think about the stuff or even say anything, but him being second in command, changed that. He did what he wanted to do. I couldn't believe it.

The doorbell rang. The four of us looked at each other, and all at once we said, "I'm not expecting anyone."

Jasper erupted into an Emmett-like booming laughter. Alice and I smiled at him. Edward just froze.

"Bella, why don't you get the door, love." I smiled as I got up and walked to the door. I would do anything for him. When I got to the door to open it, I was shocked at who I saw standing there.
