EDIT: Honestly you can skip this little chapter if you really want. THIS ISN'T AN ACTUAL CHAPTER. It's a preview so if you want, just skip to Chapter Ten :) I promise, you aren't missing anything.

So previously, there was a note here talking about how my laptop crashed. I've taken that wretched note down since my computer is note all better :) And here is a short 400 word preview for the next chapter to replace the authors note instead of replacing it with the brand new chapter. This way you can actually review for it without it saying, "You have already reviewed this chapter." Anyways, I hope you like it. The new chapter should be up a little later tonight. I'm just doing some last minute edits with it.


A week had passed. It was time.

"Tonight is the night!" Maria exclaimed in excitement, clapping her hands together and squealing like a ten year old girl.

"Tonight?" Several voices murmured in harmony.

It was dark. It was almost ten o'clock and Maria had summoned everyone out of the remaining bunk house and cabin to have a quick group meeting. We stood in groups, Maria and Jasper at the head side-by-side while the newborns formed a large clump on either side of them. Charlotte, Peter, Nettie and Lucy stood with me. The five of us stood directly across from Maria and Jasper. Five against two. What Maria didn't know was the most powerful members of her clan, aside from Jasper, were now all in alliance against her. She didn't have our official support—not anymore anyways. Of course, she never had mine. I never approved of her ways. If only there was another way. I would probably stuck like this forever if our plan wasn't able to go through correctly, which was always a small possibility.

"Yes tonight," Maria snapped out at the newborns. "I did say we were going to attack in one week, didn't I?" she hissed out in annoyance, "My god, nobody ever listens around here anymore!"

'Because no one wants to listen to your annoying voice.' I thought silently with a chuckle.

Her eyes fell on me, "Something funny Isabella?" she asked stonily.

I giggled, "Absolutely nothing."

I felt Jasper's eyes on me, burning holes into my forehead but I kept all eye contact away from him. I didn't want to give him the pleasure of direct eye contact, he would think I've forgiven him.

"ISABELLA!" Maria's voice snapped me from my daydream. I looked up at her with my ruby eyes. She was glaring spitefully while Jasper looked on at me in concern. 'How nice, showing concern for your poor sister now, why dontcha?' I thought sarcastically.

"Isabella, this is no time to be daydreaming, I just explained the entire plan to get into Monterrey, and you didn't hear one word I said, did you?" she spat.

I shook my head, "Uhm, not really." I said shamefully, although I really had no reason to be ashamed. It was very clear that not many of the others were listening to her words anyways. Two of the male newborns looked like they would doze off at any moment if it were possible to do so.


So that's the preview. It isn't that eventful but that's because I honestly don't want to give too much away. Enjoy please though :) Like I said, the new chapter will be up shortly.
