Chapter 10

Jacob had called to tell me that the pack was heading toward New Hampshire. For some reason they were running here instead of flying so he estimated it would take them about 4 days to get here.

We were ready. We had been preparing everyday and I was getting stronger and stronger everyday. I had been able to take over each of the family members except one. Today I was going to try to take on Edward. I remembered how hard it was for me to attack Esme, it was ten times harder to attack Edward. I just had to remember that it was only practice. Edward was the only one that was faster than me and he had been around the longest aside from Carlisle so he was more experienced than the others.

We all walked outside and Edward and I moved into the center of the garden getting ready. We circled each other and then quick as lightening he was running at me. Unfortunately because I had Alice's power I was able to anticipate his moves. He would run at me and I would step to the side just enough so he moved me. Then I ran at him trying to knock him to the ground. He was quick though and ran away only to double back and come back for me. He knocked me hard into a tree. I saw the agony in his face as he did this and I immediately forgave him. However, I charged at him quickly wrapping my arms around his waist and knocking him to the ground. I then jumped on top of him straddling his torso, pinning his hands to the ground and lunged for his neck. I stopped then and jumped off him. The whole family was in hysterics. I heard Edward grumble something under his breath and I ran to him knocking him down again. This time however, I rained kisses all over his face kissing his nose, ears, eyes, lips, neck.

"Ok ok!" he was laughing.

"Oh honey you did so well! You can't help it that I'm just to good!"

"Yeah, yeah if I had wanted to get you I could have!"

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah!"

"Ha-ha, I'd like to see that!"

I got off of him and started walking back towards the family. They were all singing my praises. Emmett was laughing his butt off and when I walked up he high-fived me. Apparently he had forgiven me for beating him at the arm wrestling match after I had changed.

"Way to go little sis!"

His booming laughter was infectious and we were all laughing along with him. Edward walked up, with a grumpy look on his face.

"Oh don't be like that baby. I know my big strong vampire husband could have taken me down."

I poked his nose and smiled at him. He smiled back his ego obviously inflated.

There was one more day till the pack would get here and I knew I was ready. Edward still had his reservations but the fact that I had been able to take down each of the family members made him a little more confident in my abilities.

That night we went hunting. I wasn't thirsty but I wanted to have my strength so I would be able to take them on. We were gone for a long time. By the time we came home I was so full I felt like I might explode but I also felt stronger than ever.

As the sun broke the surface I suddenly got really nervous. My former best friend would be here in a few hours and I would have to fight him. I prayed that I would have the strength to do what I needed to do.

We were all waiting anxiously for the pack to arrive. We were confident, we had been practicing for weeks. We had all developed many new techniques of taking down a werewolf and we were pretty sure we would win.

I couldn't hide my fear though. I knew my family was strong but I still worried that something could go wrong. What if the pack was bigger and we were out numbered? What if for whatever reason one of my family members got hurt? I would not be able to live with myself if that happened.

No, there was no way we would lose. We HAD to win.

We all looked up suddenly because in the distance we all heard the howl of a wolf.

A/N: mwahahahaha you know how I love my cliff hangers…hmmm how will the fight go? Will Bella be able to fight Jacob? R&R and I'll post again soon!
