I just want to say thank you all for your reviews. I want to get to the point that I can actually write back to you on your reviews... but it's getting hard. You guys keep me writing and I thank you. Don't think I don't read them or don't care for the reviews or for you guys, because obviously without you guys there wouldn't be any point to my writing. Sorry this took a while to get up here. I have been reading some other fanfictions as well. (Harry Potter ones). If you guys like Harry Potter you should check out All They Want for Christmas on by The Melodramatic. It's a Draco/Hermoine one but she is really good and you should check it out. Keep reading and I hope you like it.

Chapter 10

"Hunting? With your family?" Jacob asked before breaking out in laughter.

"Laugh all you want mutt, but Bella's life is in danger. The quicker we settle this matter the quicker we kill Victoria," Alice spit at Jacob.

"We can handle that bloodsucker just fine."

"Really? Because you have been at this for a couple of weeks now and she is still out there? Boy, if Edward were alive she would be dead by now."

Bella looked away from the two and walked into her kitchen. She was not about to sit there and listen to Alice comparing Jacob to Edward right now.

"Nice going, bloodsucker. Look what you did."

Alice glared at Jacob before running into the kitchen to comfort Bella.

"Bella, I am so sorry. I didn't mean to bring him up. It's out of habit."

"It's whatever."

"Bella…" she began.

"Drop the subject." Jacob said sternly.

"Who do you think you are barking orders at me, mutt?"

"Who do you think you are charging back into her life and complicating things for her, bloodsucker?"

"CUT IT OUT!" Bella shouted. Both Alice and Jacob turned to look at her shocked. Bella never yelled like that before. "Neither of you are doing me any good arguing with each other. If you can't get it together enough to deal with Victoria, then I will deal it with it myself. Which won't mean much, since I can't do anything about it at all."

"Bella." Alice started.

"Don't Bella me. I just need you two to get along for the sake of keeping me alive. You don't have to like each other, and frankly I don't care if you do, but you need to put aside your differences long enough to take care of Victoria because obviously I can't."

"I'll do it. For you." Jacob said as he gently pulled her in for a hug.

"I can do it too. I just give Jasper and the rest a call and if you don't mind summoning your pack, Jacob. We will sit down and figure this out."

"Can, um, we do this somewhere else. I am not sure how Charlie will feel waking up to this discussion."

"Sure, we can use the old house. Meet me there in thirty minutes." And with that Alice was gone.

"Drive on up there, Bella. I have to go get the pack. We will fix this. I promise."

"You and I need to talk later. It's important."

"Ok. Will do." He kissed her on the forehead before taking off in his rabbit. Bella got dressed and left a note on the fridge saying she was out with Jacob so that Charlie would know where she was at. As she drove up the Cullen house, she couldn't help but think about the Volturi and Jacob. As much as he loved her, and as much as she loved him, it would horrible if he imprinted on someone else. Especially since it wouldn't save Bella and she might have to either life forever as a vampire or be killed by the Volturi. When did her life gets so complicated? Sometimes, she wished she hadn't met the Cullen's because then maybe she could a happy, normal teenager with Jake. But that's a big maybe.

Bella stepped out of her truck and shut her door. With a heavy sigh and a deep breathe she walked towards the house that she had spent so much time in. As she reached the door it flew open and Alice was standing at the door.

"Come on in. The pack is already here."

She smiled at Alice and walked in towards the living room. She could hear the boys talking in the room. She heard Alice shut the door and in a blink was walking right beside her. As the entered the room, all eyes were on them.

"When is your family supposed to get here?" asked Sam.

"They are on a flight as we speak. Should be here within the next two hours."

"So what are we supposed to do until then?" This time it was Jacob.

"Well we come up with a plan. We need someone with Bella at all times. She is not to be out of sight at all. Who knows what kind of attack Victoria could be planning. I need to catch sight of here just once so I can keep track of her. But even if I can do that, it won't be set in stone. Her future path can change in an instant if she goes a different way."

"What kind of powers does your family hold?" Quil asked this one.

"I see people's futures and I'm strong. Jasper can control emotions and he is strong. We're all strong in our own way, so even if our powers seem weak we can hold our own. Not every vampire has a special power though."

"We can rip her apart. We got that in the bag. Problem is we can't catch her, and when we do somehow she gets away." Seth said.

"Super speed. All vampires have it." Bella had spoken up and no one had expected that to come from her."

"Oh come on guys. I spent over a year with this family. You know I had to know about that. I am just saying that is why she is so hard to catch."

"Has anyone even asked why she is after Bella?" Quil piped up again.

"A mate for a mate." Bella almost whispered.

"What?" He asked.

"A mate for a mate," she said louder. "Edward with the help of his family killed James, the original vampire that was after me. He was her boyfriend. She finds it only fair to kill me so that Edward would have to share the same pain. Problem is, I am not sure she even knows that Edward is dead. Maybe if she knew, she wouldn't be after me anymore."

"I don't think so, Bella. Once a vampire like her gets her mind set on something, they do it. Just because he is gone doesn't mean she got what she was looking for," Alice said. "I just need to see her, I need to track her."

"The meadow." Bella chimed in. "Take me to the meadow. Hide in the forest somewhere."

"She will know we were there." Alice said.

"So go for a walk. Or make it look like you went for a walk alone and that you left me there. She will come. You can get what you need to track her and the pack can hide in the forest in case things get dangerous. You can fake it. All of you can. I know. We can fool her."

"That might actually work, Bella!" Alice exclaimed."

"I'm in." Jacob said.

The rest of the pack agreed. Jacob walked over to Bella and took her into the hallway.

"In case things get out of hand, I just want to say that I love you and will always love you."

"I love you, too." She said. They leaned in and kissed each other and joined the others.

"You all ready to play a game?" Bella asked.
