I'm so sorry about the delay in getting this chapter out… how long has it been? A month maybe? IDK, but I'm SOOO sorry. These chapters should be coming out faster because I finished Breaking Dawn again. I was re-reading it so that I could take down some info and make the stuff in my story close to the book, like people's abilities, past info, how to spell things, and what not. While reading, I realized two things. First: I've been spelling Emmet wrong. It's actually Emmett. :D sorry. Second: It's spelled Volturi, not Volturri, like I thought it was :D. Now, no more delay. Chapter 10. And, if you don't feel like reading this anymore because you can't remember or the delay has made it so you don't want to read it anymore, I'll understand. Truthfully, it's not that great anyways. I even had to go back and review what I had written previously because I couldn't remember a darn thing. Anyways, I guess for those few who wanna read it still, here's the next chapter.

Disclaimer: I am not Stephenie Meyer. Stephenie Meyer would have gotten these chapters out faster if she was writing a fanfic. And, since I'm not Stephenie Meyer, I own none of the characters in this story.

We arrived at the private airstrip a while later. The plane still wasn't ready for liftoff yet, so we just split up into different social groups to talk.

I floated around to different groups, just trying to get to know my charges a little better since I would be fighting along beside them soon.

"I hope Bella knows what she's doing," I heard someone whisper, but I couldn't place the voice to a face.

"…can't wait to the fight to start," I heard someone else say, and this time I knew who it was: Stefan.

"I know what you mean, brother," Vladimir replied. "Finally a chance to get rid of the cursed Volturi and their corrupt ways."

"And with Bella leading us, we are sure to win," Stefan said, almost sounding as if he revered me, although I didn't know why he would. I didn't even know why they admired me so. I decided to ask them later, knowing I would have plenty of chances. Maybe… I let my mind wander.

Eventually, my thoughts got interrupted by the announcement that the plane was ready for liftoff.

Renesmee and Jacob were the first to board the plane, and I was the last.

The humans that had set up the plane were long gone, but the smell lingered, and I could see some of the vampires trying to fight off the urge to go hunt.

Renesmee and I got in the cockpit and started the plane.

After a few complicated gear turnings and button hitting, the plane was off the ground.

Not much happened in the time that we were flying the plane, so the time passed quickly. A few people came up to the front to talk for a little while, but not many, and not for long.

We touched down in Canada at another private airstrip some time later. We drove it into a large barn-like structure and exited the plane.

Just as the group was about to leave, I saw Renesmee climb onto Jacob's back while he was in his wolf form and lay down like she was going to go to sleep.

I raised an incredulous eyebrow and Jacob just shrugged his massive shoulders slightly, trying not to jostle her. She must have been tired after her long flight. We didn't have to sleep like she and Jacob did, but he got in a few hours of sleep while we were flying the plane. Also, Renesmee had to sleep more than Jacob.

"Are we going or not?" Benjamin asked playfully, pretending to be annoyed.

Amun rolled his eyes and I finally realized it was him who had their doubts about me. I shrugged inwardly. It didn't matter whether he doubted me or not.

I laughed and called over my shoulder, "We're going right now," as I took off, letting my charges follow me as I headed for the Denali coven.

My mind wandered back to the last confrontation with the Volturi, when their sister was killed: Irina. This would not be pretty if they felt any enmity towards me or Renesmee.

But, knowing them, they wouldn't be angry at us. They would be angry at the Volturi and willing to fight to the death for their sister.

We arrived in Denali a while later, but still a few miles away from the coven.

I took a deep breath.

"Let's rest here a minute so I can think," I said, looking pointedly Jacob, trying to tell him to lay down and get some rest.

He complied. Jacob plopped down where he stood, laying down while still trying not to jostle Renesmee.

I walked over to a tree stump and unnecessarily sat down. I wasn't tired in the sense of the word, just weary and worried.

I barely realized that we were close to a river.

My mind wandered sluggishly over the possibilities, taking longer than it usually would. Which was most likely because I was so… tired?

Snow fell on the fast moving river as I deliberated, my eyes focusing blindly on the little fish, seeing them but not registering what they were.

I finally decided to go alone at first and then come back for the others, so that Tanya and the others wouldn't feel threatened (which Edward would appose this thought immediately.) The thought of Edward brought an invisible pain to my chest, wishing that he was with me. I almost felt like crying, but I kept it together for the sake of the people I was charged with.

When I told the group, everyone agreed except for Jacob and Renesmee, who had woken up and were staring at me worriedly when I looked up from staring at the river. Right now, they were even more worried, but not enough to try to stop me.

Their eyes bored into my back as I walked away at a human running speed.

I knew I was getting close when the familiar smells got more and more prominent.

Also, I knew I was close when I heard a growl and something like a boulder rammed into me. Only one thing could feel like that to me and I knew who it was: Tanya. I could tell by the strawberry-blonde hair. I put up no fight, hopping she would recognize me before she had a chance to rip my head off.

I was bowled over so I was flat on my back with Tanya's had covering my face. As her head pulled back to tear my head off, she took her hand off of my face and realized immediately who it was.

She sprang back and her eyes went wide. I held up my hands, telling her I was of no threat. She looked apologetic.

"God, I'm so sorry," she said, frantically trying to apologize.

I laughed. "It's alright. I was sort of expecting that… Except I wasn't expecting the pain that would come with it," I said, rubbing my neck, which had been twisted. "I'm just glad you didn't bite me."

She laughed with me this time, although it was still sort of apologetic.

Then things turned serious.

"So, did you come alone?" she asked, looking around as if she would see something there if she willed it enough.

"No," I said. "They're back a little farther."

When I didn't explain she asked, "Why?"

"I thought it best. If you felt threatened with just me, think how you would have felt if there was all of us walking in on your territory. I thought you might have thought that we were the Volturi so I decided to take the lesser risk and not chance anyone getting hurt."

"My, you have turned into quite the strategist, haven't you?"

I smiled on the outside, but was questioning on the inside. Why was everyone taking such an interest in me now? The Volturi, Tanya, Stefan, Vladimir. When would it end?

"I'm really sorry though," she said again.

"It's alright," I replied, again. "I guess I better go get them so I can get back here. I'll be right back." I took off running, wanting to get out of there before my mind went insane debating why everyone was obsessed with me.

I don't know if I'm gonna make how everyone sort of reveres Bella as part of the main story or just as a little weird side part. Still debating with myself. I have some really cool plot twists in mind and an awesome ending that might make it seem like there will be a sequel, but believe me, it won't, because I thought of a good plot line for a Law & Order: SVU fanfic. But, this story still has a lot to it to go so don't worry, this won't be over too soon.

Anyways, look forward to more chapters and I'll try to get them out sooner than a month ha-ha. But, for now, I must go. Farewell. And I won't be annoying like some people (cough, my high school, cough) and tell you to go vote… if your old enough lol.
