Disclaimer: I do not own the Twilight series!
A/N: I have no idea if I've said this before, but this story's coming to a close. Maybe one or two chapters left! Alice's Point of ViewI crossed Victoria's scent, and it was headed straight for Bella's house! I had called Bella's house to see where she was, and she picked up. I hung up right away and didn't say anything, of course.
She was going after Bella. I had to stop her.
While I was running, I called the house, Esme, Carlisle, and Rose's cell phones. Nobody picked up.
I reluctantly called Jasper, Emmett, and Edward, even though everything might be ruined if Edward found out we were with Bella. Once again, I got their voicemails.
I had no idea if I could fight Victoria on my own. In fact, I was sure I couldn't. But Bella was in trouble, and I couldn't just stand around and do nothing.
I had to save Bella. Or at least, I had to try, even if I died trying.
I couldn't let Bella die. I couldn't let our whole efforts be for nothing. She was a part of our family now, and we all needed her for Edward to be happy.
I had to do this.
For Bella.
For Edward.
For my family.

Sam's Point of ViewWhen I got into Bella's house, the leech had her cornered. The microscopic part of my mind that wasn't overwhelmed by her stench and by the fact that the only time I had fought a vampire was when I was backed up by four other werewolves guessed that Charlie was at the station.
I leapt at her, snarling. I knocked her sideways, and we rolled on the ground. I sank my teeth into her arm and pulled back, sending it flying across the room. It flew into something with a loud crash.
But as I was tearing off her arm, she was tearing and ripping at me. I knew I couldn't last much longer if we fought this closely. I jumped back, hardly aware of the instinctive growls ripping from my throat.
I just happened to glance at Bella for a fraction of a second, and her eyes were in the process of widening. I had my back to the door, and I hoped her reaction was not to something entering. But the stench of vampire growing stronger dashed my hopes. The red-haired bloodsucker must have more friends than Bella thought.
To my surprise, though, the black-haired female leapt over me and attacked the other bloodsucker. She started ripping and tearing at her before being thrown off.
Now, the black haired leech (who had yellow eyes; I assumed she was a Cullen) was in trouble. It seemed that the red-haired bloodsucker was more skilled than her when she was prepared.
Against my better judgment (and because I knew I couldn't beat her on my own) I launched myself into the fight, attacking the redhead.
She swiped at my face and sank her teeth into the Cullen's arm all in one second. She seemed really desperate, though. She didn't seem to like being outnumbered.
I jumped back, growled lowly, then pounced. The Cullen had gotten her other arm off, and all of a sudden, we attacked her together. In a few seconds, she was completely dismembered.
We carried all the pieces into the backyard, and then the black-haired leech asked Bella if she had any matches. Bella mumbled something about the drawer next to the sink, clearly still in shock.
Alice's Point of ViewI found the matches where Bella had said they would be, and Victoria was quickly burning in Bella's backyard.
Now for the hard part. I had to go in and face Bella. Would she be mad at me for listening to Edward and leaving? Would she even talk to me?
It seemed I didn't even have to worry about anything like that. As soon as she recovered from the major shock she was suffering, she tried to run to me.
The werewolf, still in his wolf form, blocked her way and growled at me. Bella didn't seem to be surprised that there was a giant wolf in her living room.
"It's okay, Sam," She tried to reassure him. She even knew the dog's name!
He didn't seem to agree with her assessment. He snarled at both of us.
She took an automatic step back, and he looked like he felt guilty for scaring her. She carefully stepped around the dog and over to me.
"Alice?" she asked, like she thought her mind was playing tricks on her.
I smiled. She threw herself at me and started sobbing. We both ignored the warning growls coming from the werewolf.
"We're back, Bella. All of us are back. None of us will ever leave without you again."
She looked at me in disbelief. I was hit by a vision and my smile widened. Edward knew about mine and Jasper's plan, but he was coming back for Bella. He wouldn't leave her again. Everything was going to be okay.
"Especially," I stated, "not Edward."
The dog was back in his human form. He must have realized the form didn't matter when I could kill him either way, not that it was likely that I would.
"Bella, are you going to choose them over us? They left you, we'll always be here. How can you do this to us, to Jacob? Like it for not, you're one of us now."
Bella surprised me by answering before I could. "No, Sam, I'm not. Do you have any idea what Emily, Kim, and I go through when we don't know what's happening to you? When you're running, we worry and tear out our hair, wondering if you're all right. And besides, Jacob has left me before, too, when he found out he had become a werewolf."
Both of us opened our mouths to speak, but she cut us off. "By the way, Alice, you don't have to lie to me. I know Edward doesn't love me, and I know he's not coming back. But that won't make me mad at you, or the rest of your family, or even him. I still love him, no matter what, even though he doesn't want me."
"One more question, and then I'll throw you to the sharks…or the leeches." The dog seemed to want to keep me from speaking to Bella any longer. "What are you going to tell the bloodsucker?"
Bella glared at the use of the words, then glanced at me.
I sighed. Bella would figure out the truth soon enough. Edward should be the one to tell her, anyway. "I guess that will just have to be our little secret."

A/N: Well, that's the end, except for the epilogue, possibly. I hope you've enjoyed this story! I might edit this chapter, because I don't know if it flows quite right. I tried to cram too much information into one page, and if you have any suggestions…Review!
By the way, I mentioned Kim in this story. Note that this is taking place awhile after Bella jumped off the cliff, so some of Eclipse's events will have happened by now.
