AN: I feel as if this story is finally getting somewhere! Yay! Sorry if Bella seems OOC. She's like the complete opposite of me so I'm probably screwing her character up. Sorry for that! Awww, Emmett's being protective of his soon-to-be-little-sis!

Disclaimer: I feel the need for sarcasm.

Bella POV

I watched the cats as they bustled around hurriedly. Orchid occasionally shouting orders that I didn't pay any attention to. Only when I was picked up did I actually notice that we were leaving. I let out a startled, "Hey!"

Brown eyes looked down at me, and seemed to be apologizing. I sighed, knowing that the cats couldn't talk to me while in their animal forms. It was similar to Jake's situation…It was then that I realized I was comparing my captors to my best friend. I shook my head hard, trying to clear the thoughts. I came to when a snarl sounded from a cat in the front of the group. I peered over the cat in front of me who appeared to be Mentha. Mentha then crouched, snarling as well. She copied her leader's movements and the others did the same.

The man tilted his head up, his midnight black locks lifting, and it was then that we were able to see his blood-red eyes. "Well hello to you to."

Emmett let out a long string of profanities.

"Emmett, seriously. Shut the up!" Rosalie screamed at her husband.

"You're telling me to shut up? How about you shut up?" Emmett shouted.

The two stood in front of each other hissing.

Carlisle looked between the two and stated, "Calm down you two. We're all frustrated, but you're not going to be much of a help acting like that."

"Up ahead! Do you hear it?" Jasper questioned the group. They all stopped and listened intently, and indeed they heard exactly what they wanted. The snarls of wild animals.

I watched as the group of large cats cowered away fearfully from the man who soon demanded, "Give me the sacrifice."

Sacrifice? What were they talking about?

Orchid hissed, and I realized she was speaking with him silently. Did these cats have a communication like the wolves?

The man laughed. "Claud wants her."

They again flinched away from the man at the mention of this "Claud".

Orchid again snarled, not backing down.

The man smiled. "Then we will fight for her." He changed into his animal form, and even I wanted to scream. It was a cat, larger than Onyx by at least a foot at the shoulder. He had deep and dark black fur, and his red eyes stood out even more than they had when he had appeared to us in a human form. His fangs stuck out of his mouth, and as he crouched and snarled massive red spikes rose from his back. I noticed his claws then. They were huge and extremely sharp! A serrated knife was nothing compared to these killing tools! This creature would tear these cats apart!

It was then that more creatures crowded into the clearing, except these were no cats.

"Give us back Bella!"
