Bella POV
Emmett was simple. Hardheaded, show-offy, goofy, and prejudiced. It's no wonder he hates the werewolves.
"They're not as bad as you think," I started to explain, "sure they smell and hate us and everything, but they're as much family to me as you guys. Just talk to them."
"She's right," said Carlisle, "they could be helpful allies in this fight. When can we meet them Bella?" It was good to know I had someone on my side.
"We can meet them at midnight at the border."
"It's settled then. Now, what was this about Elizabeth and James?"
Alice took this one," Well we were thinking that Elizabeth could transform into James and distract Victoria while we surrounded her. It was a good idea, but we started thinking of everything that could happen. She could ask her something only James would know or know that it wasn't him. It was a good idea though."
Carlisle turned to Elizabeth, "I want you to tell me everything that happens when you change, okay?" She gave a small nod and everybody started listening intently.
"So…when I shift, I feel discomfort at first. Then I feel different. What I mean by different is that I remember things I didn't know about. When I was Bella, I felt pain and loss. Once I'm settled into the body, it feels the same as my original, but minutes after the transition is complete, I feel pain easily." What if these "things she remembered but didn't know about" were memories? Maybe she would get past Victoria without a problem. It was a bunch of what if's and maybe's but it could possibly work.
A soft voice started saying, "Turn into me." Alice looked up at her with pleading eyes, "If you get memories, then we'll let you come with us. You still have newborn strength anyways."
Elizabeth started getting a little taller and her hair looked like it was shrinking into her scalp. Her face got more heart-shaped and her red eyes were turning topaz. She staggered for a second and composed herself.
"Eww," Elizabeth turned to Alice," keep your personal life to yourself." Emmett burst out with his booming laugh and everyone except for the two lovebirds joined in.
"Okay that's enough," said Esme. We eventually quieted down, but the sight of Elizabeth's grimace and shuddering as she saw memories of "love" was just too good. She quickly shifted back to herself and said," Too much info. Hey, at least now you don't have to give me 'the talk'."
If Alice could blush she would be as red as I used to become. I felt a wave of embarrassment as Jasper lost control. Emmett was taking it a little too far as much as I was concerned. He was pretty much rolling on the floor like a toddler. About five minutes later, he got up, gained his composure, and sat on a tree stump.
I looked at my watch and saw it was almost 11:55."I think it's time to go"
We started running, but we were talking on the way.
"Do you think we should let her come?" Alice asked.
"Well, she got memories of your past, so she would get memories of James. If Victoria asks her a question about James's past, she'll be able to answer." I said, "I think we should let her come. She still has that newborn strength so she could defend herself. If Victoria decides to attack, we'll be there in a split second. What do you think Jasper?"
"I agree with Bella." A small chorus of yeah's followed.
We arrived at the border and the pack was waiting for us there. Leah looked annoyed as usual. Sam was giving the Cullens an intense stare before extending his hand in greeting. Jacob just jumped straight into the question," What's this plan of yours to destroy that leech?"
"Well, we were thinking that Elizabeth could distract Victoria by turning into her dead mate. While she's distracted, we could surround her and attack. She's really vicious, but I think we could take her." I answered. I knew Jacob and knew that he would ignore the Cullens.
"First we have to track her though. We know the scent, but you guys don't and that's a big problem." said Carlisle.
"Actually, after you left, Victoria came back and the pack rescued me. They know the scent." I said. I didn't want any unnecessary arguments between the pack and the coven. There were some people in particular that I didn't want fighting.
Sam pondered for a moment before nodding his head in approval.
"We all split up and we call each other when we think we're near, got it?" Carlisle ripped out a world map and assigned countries to everyone except Elizabeth. She was joining me in the quest. I think he did that to give us bonding time, not to "begin to comprehend her powers with yours". If he wanted to be subtle, well nice try. But I was going to be able to talk to her for at least a couple of weeks. It took forever for these things to get into the action. But with a group this large, who knows how much time we have.
