Chapter 11

This is back in Bella's POV. enjoy, (:

Alice and Rose showed up a few hours later, and then we had had to come up with how to get rid of these unidentified vamps. "Alright," Carlisle started, "usually, this kind of stuff is a team effort, but this time, I'm taking charge. Now, if the pack is guarding Charlie and the school, that area is well under safety. La Push should be safe too. Four of us need to go to their residence, just act like you need a place to stay. And then the other four are going to sneak in and kill them. This problem has to be terminated tonight. We cannot risk any more lives, and I want to be home with Renesmee. Agreed?" he finished. "Agreed," everyone said together. "Okay, I want the ladies to be the bait, and then the four men will be the ones on the hunt. Ladies, you may also help with the killing too, if you wish." "Sweet! I always get stoked to rip apart a couple of dumasses!" Emmett inputted. "OH! I have the perfect idea!" Esme said, excitedly. "Okay, we're going to act like we're on a camping trip, and that our tent blew away in the wind, and that there was no place to stay. Alright, now go upstairs and put some 'camping' gear together, and then we're going to go roll in the mud, go go!"

I walked up the stairs to the storage closet and pulled out five totes with perfect white labels on them that read "Camping Equipment". I grabbed a deep green coat and a large back pack and a few more camping essentials. I walked over to the bedroom Edward and I used to share, and then started pulling off my True Religion jeans and slipping on some old Forks High School sweatpants I found in the bins. Then, my love walked in, dressed in all black, showing off his perfectly sculpted chest. He looked so gorgeous, standing there under the shine of the lighting fixture, a few inches above his head. He caught me staring, and then flashed that magnificent crooked smile at me. I ran across the room, and just threw myself at him, kissing him intensely.

We came downstairs about half an hour later, and everyone just stared at us. "Well, let's get muddy!" I said, grabbing Alice's hand and dragging her out the door to save myself from the awkwardness. "You betta getchya some, bubs!" I heard Emmett whoop and holler while I led my in-laws to the back yard. Today, it was very rainy and chilly. I ran out into the open yard, and then slipped on the slippery mess. Alice burst out in laughter. "Bella!" she said between short breaths "let me help you up!" she said, lending a hand. And I said, "No! Let me help you down!" and then I pulled her to the ground. I looked over at Esme and Rose during our fit of laughter, and they were rolling around on the ground like a couple of pigs. We were having a blast, and then Jasper had to ruin the fun and tell us to go ahead and run to the new vampires' home.

We ran for what seemed like forever, and when we finally arrived, and saw the boys sneak silently to the back porch, Alice lightly knocked on the door. A woman with extremely long brown hair answered the door. "Hello, my name is Alice, and my sisters here were camping, and our tent blew away, and we saw you had a guest house, and we were wondering if we could use your phone and maybe stay here until morning?" Her fiery red eyes glistened under the porch light. "Of course, please, come in." She was welcoming, and she led us to the living room of her cabin-like home. We had all worn blue contacts so the family wouldn't get suspicious about our looks. As we entered the room, I saw a familiar man and two teenagers sitting at a dinner table, playing a game of cards. The man was Garrett. How was he tied into this? What about Kate? I had no idea what was going on, but I had the weirdest feeling about it. I blinked, and then felt my left contact dissolve into the venom of my eyes. "Oh, I have something in my eye!" I proclaimed, "May I please use your bathroom to get it out?" "Of course, dear. GARY! Show our guest the washroom please." she replied. "What guests?" Garrett said as he entered the living room, then he stopped, cocked his head slightly to the right as if he were confused. I caught on to his expression when I knew he was wondering why we were there. "Ow, Ouch!" I yelled, putting my hand over my eye and then going down the hallway. Garrett followed, and then told me the bathroom was the last door on the left. "Bella, what are you doing here?" I shut the door, turned on the faucet, and then placed a new set of midnight blue contacts on my eyeballs. I opened the door, and said, "Camping trip. What happened with you and Kate?"

After we got done chatting, I had all the information I needed to know. I found out that Kate had fallen out of love with him while he was away, and that while he was traveling, he fell in love with a woman named Grace, who was now his wife. She has twin teenage kids, Molly and Zachary. Garrett told me that he never wanted to lose them, so he changed them all. I understood that he loved them, but I didn't understand why he had taught them that it was okay to go into towns and kill people. He told me that the Volturi had no idea that the three new vampires existed. "How did you get away with this?" I asked. "I don't know, but I'm glad I did." he replied. I couldn't believe this. I walked out into the living room to join my family, and the two kids were sitting on the couch, with Alice between them. She was showing them a card trick on the coffee table, keeping them entertained. Esme was acting like she was talking on the phone in the kitchen, close enough so that Carlisle, on the other end of the phone, could hear mine and Garrett's conversation. She hung up the landline and entered the living room. "My husband, Carlisle, is out front to pick us up." Esme stated in her perfect wind chime voice. We all got up, grabbed our useless camping equipment, and filed out the front door. Garrett followed. We were inside Emmett's massive Jeep, because running would make the baby vamps suspicious about us, and as far as we knew, they didn't know we were like them. "Garrett," Carlisle started as he got out of the car, "You know what we will do to keep the citizens of Forks safe, don't you? We will kill whoever or whatever we must to make them safe, so I suggest you move away from Forks and teach your new family members vegetarian ways, or my family and myself will be forced to take action, on all of you." He was so serious, it scared me. Garrett was very understanding, and very desperate for Carlisle to forgive him. "Yes, yes, I understand, I promise on my life to make my family vegetarians, just please don't hurt them, please. We will move, immediately, tomorrow." Edward, who was standing beside Carlisle, eyed him cautiously. "How do we know that you're being serious?" my love questioned. "I'll do anything, anything." Garrett promised. Carlisle got out a pen and paper and wrote a contract, stamped it with an official looking seal that he had in his coat pocket, and then made Garrett sign his life over to him.
