Lets all give a round of applause to the legend that is Stephanie Meyer, she is a truly talented writer. And without her the world would be deprived of the Cullens. I claim no rights to the story, my story is based on her characters but exploring a different plot.

Dedication: I couldn't choose one person to dedicate this chapter to, as I wanted to dedicate it to two people. Lucky girl and TRDancer, both because they gave me really long reviews, telling me that they love the story. And letting me know what they would like in the story, it helped with my writers block :D

I got one review asking me 1)if I were British/English, 2) whether the spelling and grammar mistakes were there for reasons, or were just accidental. Answers, 1) Britain and England are kinda the same, England I guess is like Florida, Florida is a state in USA, England is a state in Britain. But yes, I am English. 2) All spelling and grammar mistakes are accidental, either because words are spelt differently here to other countries e.g. Colour (British) and Color (US), or because I have a tendancy to write my stories in the quiet of the night... so like midnight onwards when there are no distractions, so normally I am really really tired :S

Anyway, Q&A time over, on to the story!!!!

Previously...

"No!" I heard Milla shout outside as I heard a loud feral snarl that I knew only too well and wished I hadn't. It normally indicated that Shayne was about to fall off the wagon. I quickly drew in a breath to see if any humans were around... Dog?

"No," I whispered to myself as I ran to the front door I entered not so long ago. Jake or Seth had crossed the boundary line... Not Jake, Shayne wouldn't react that way to him, and Jake wouldn't willingly break they treaty. I wrenched the door open and felt my jaw fall open with shock at what was occurring in front of me.

Chapter 11

BPOV

Both Shayne and Chris were crouched down low to the ground, readying to attack. I had mistaken the feral snarl as Shayne's but it was in fact coming from Chris, as his eyes remained fixated on Seth. Chris only ever became like this when he hadn't been hunting for a while, and when the scent of blood – no matter what it smelt like – came into close proximity. From this distance I could see that Chris' eyes were the deepest darkest black they had been in nearly a decade... he never normally left hunting this long. I looked towards Shayne who was crouched low in front of Seth – guarding him – as a low rumbling growl escaped from his mouth. My shock prevented me from moving any further to find out what was happening only just registering that I was being joined by Alice and Rose.

"Chris! Stop it." Milla shouted, trying to interrupt what Chris' instincts were telling him to do.

Chris ignored her and began moving at circling Seth closely followed by Shayne, both steadily speeding up until they were no longer more then just two blurs as they reached their highest speed that their immortality would allow. I continued watching knowing what would happen when Chris grew tired of running circles around Seth in an attempt to get to him, Chris was always the most deadly in our coven due to his telekinesis. I just hoped that Shayne would be able to react fast enough to be able to use his own abilities to prevent this from happening.

"Chris!" Milla shouted again. I looked on as Chris came to an abrupt stop in front of Milla, smiling evilly before turning round to face Shayne who was standing in front of Seth in the same defensive position as before.

Seth slowly began to wobble, as little by little he rose of the ground, in a vain attempt by Chris to get Seth past Shayne without him noticing. The attempt failed as Seth gasped with shock – when he noticed he was floating a couple of inches from the ground, and slowly floating higher – causing Shayne to quickly look around before turning to face Chris again and letting out the feral snarl I thought I had heard earlier as he began to use his own abilities to counter Chris', a force field like bubble appeared around Seth, only just noticeable because of the faint blue that shimmered on the surface of the it – This was Shayne's power, a bubble that acted as a physical shield; it prevented anyone and anything from entering or exiting it. The shield allowed for Shayne to use it in an offensive and defensive way, using it also as a battering ram, or creating it inside another person, and increasing its size until they exploded. Shayne's abilities complimented my own, as it also prevents abilities that physically affect other vampires and humans from doing any damage, this also included Chris' telekinesis.

"Izzy!" Milla cried with frustration, she wanted me to help stop the fight. But both of us knew that it was futile, and dangerous to get in between either of them when they were like this.

I carried on watching as Shayne now sat back and allowed for Chris to attempt to get past the shield now protecting Seth. Chris' fury lessened as the high concentrated scent of Seth's blood dispersed into the surrounding air, until it was no longer then a faint smell on the breeze originating from the boundary line. As quick as they had reared their head, Chris' hunting instincts had settled down allowing for Chris to think clearly, putting his brain in charge again.

"I'm sorry," he whispered to Shayne.

"Go hunt," Shayne whispered back, his tone filled with venom. Chris replied with nothing more than a nod of his head, before turning and running as vast as humanly... vampirely possible, followed closely by Milla.

"Shayne." I said cautiously as I approached slowly not wanting to get in his way, just in case he turned on me. He turned to face me growling quietly, warning me to not repeat what Chris had done. I felt the urge to giggle but suppressed it, honestly, who was he warning? I've never even tasted human blood. Once he'd ascertained that I wasn't a threat, he turned his back on me and moved towards Seth simultaneously lowering the shield he had placed around Seth, who immediately moved toward Shayne, wrapping his arms around Shayne's waist, as Shayne carefully placed his around Seth's.

"Thanks," Seth whispered, "But I'm not a normal human, I can defend myself pretty well," he said smiling happily down at Shayne.

"I know... But Chris' ability gives him a high advantage over other vampires... and not normal humans."

EPOV

I had been watching the confrontation between Shayne and Chris since the first snarl ripped through the air like a chainsaw. I had been expecting Chris to use his powers, any smart vampire will always use their abilities to gain the advantage over their opponent, but what I hadn't been expecting was Shayne's power. I guess the question of his ability really hadn't been asked since Alice and the others had already asked when the rest of the other coven turned up just over a week ago.

But something had occurred to me... the question of how to gain Bella's trust which had been floating through my head not so long ago had now been answered. I know how I was going to gain Bella's trust again... I just had to wait for the perfect opportunity.

BPOV

I had walked back inside when Seth and Shayne started to inch their heads close together. It wasn't that it made me uncomfortable; I just didn't want to be intrusive in them when they shared their first kiss.

"So... shopping," Alice started as we walked into the kitchen, I replied with groan of annoyance.

"Don't argue with her Bella," Rosalie replied "Alice demands at least two shopping trips a month. It's best just to give her what she wants to keep her content." I smiled waiting for Alice's witty comeback; I looked back when I heard nothing and saw that Alice was having one of her visions. I watched as a small smile spread across her face/

"Excellent," she whispered. "Great idea Edward," she said it louder as she looked up at the ceiling.

"Will it work?" I heard him ask as clear as if he were standing right next to me.

"I can't be sure..." she said, pausing towards the end, "You've made the decision, but she can't until it actually happens."

"When?"

"Very soon." She replied

"Thanks Alice." Edward said, as Alice began to skip happily out of the kitchen, and I guess in the direction of the garage.

I watched unhappily as she skipped in again with a set of keys and a purse over her arm, quickly trying to think of a way in which would prevent this shopping trip.

"Wait Alice!" I shouted, causing Alice to freeze mid-skip like only a vampire could. "Don't you think we should go pay Jake a visit, so that we can re-arrange the terms of the treaty?"

"I guess..." she agreed whilst looking disappointed, "But you don't know all of the current terms, and none of us can go with you because we're not allowed to."

"Technically Seth shouldn't be here either... Jake also shouldn't have told me that you were 'cold ones,' when I was human. But that was before he believed any of the tribe's stories." Alice's expression went blank as she had another vision, her lips forming a pout.

"Damn you Bella, you had to ruin the shopping trip,"

"Yes, damn you, now I've got to go find Emmett, and I was so looking forward to the shopping," Rose said sarcastically before turning around and walking in the direction of the living room, where Jasper and Emmett were playing on the computer.

SPOV (Shayne)

I braced myself as I fought to keep the hunter instinct down again as I closed my eyes and began to lean in to kiss Seth, last time I had been lucky enough that Chris was close by to distract me just as I was about to crack... I probably shouldn't be so hard on him; I was just as close as he was to hurting Seth, I could feel the heat radiate from his skin as he mirrored my movement leaning down slightly to kiss me. When his lips touched mine, I felt my cool lips immediately begin to warm underneath his as our lips began to move in unison. This was better then what I remembered from my human years seventy years ago when I last shared a kiss... that kiss seemed so insignificant now that I was kissing Seth. I remember that it was a proper full on kiss, but compared to the one I was now sharing with Seth it seemed more like how I would have kissed my mom.

SPOV (Seth)

I felt my heart beat increase as I leant down to push my lips onto Shayne's; I had been dying to do this to him since I had seen him that first time on the reservation, the day that I had imprinted on him. I could feel this coolness of his skin seep through his clothes through mine, and onto my skin, causing it to fall below the usual 1080F. The feeling I had been waiting for was indescribable, his cold and hard lips moved so tenderly against my own; warmer and not so hard lips. Just under a century of waiting to imprint, and I can't say that I was disappointed.

BPOV

Me and Alice had left the house through the back door, not wanting to interrupt Shayne and Seth, and ran in the general direction of La Push, the Quileute reservation.

"Do you think he will be willing to alter the terms of the treaty?" Alice asked as we ran through the forest, blurs to the eyes of everything and everyone that wasn't a vampire or werewolf.

"Probably... well the less important terms. I don't think Jake will want to change the part forbidding the Cullens to bite any humans, whether to feed or turn them."

"Of course," Alice nodded in agreement, "We are agreeable to that term, we only used it as a way to gain their word that they wouldn't attack us."

"We're here," I said as we slowed down to human speed, running past the houses until we reached the one that we wanted. It took us a minute longer to reach Jacob's house, we stopped outside and listened for any movements inside but heard nothing. "Jake!" I called hoping that he was nearby and would hear me. I could hear his heavy footsteps coming from the back of the house; he must have been in his makeshift garage at the back of the house.

"Bella!" he said happily as he turned the corner, but froze when he saw Alice. "What is she doing here?" he asked as his body slowly began to convulse as he resisted the urge to shift into his werewolf form, and rip us apart. "It's against the treaty,"

"It's also against the treaty for a werewolf to cross into our territory, but that didn't stop Seth." Alice said, before I could reply to Jake, "That's why we're here, we figured because of Seth's imprinting we would need to alter the treaty to fit around that... Bella said you wouldn't me being her as a representative of the Cullens."

"Fine," he whispered quietly, his face showed that he was concentrating on not letting his inner wolf win, preventing it from mauling us. "You'd better come in," he said as he led us towards the front door

Hey, please don't hate me for waiting so logn to update! I wasn't planning on being so busy. It also doesn't help that I have found it hard to get some peace and quiet at the moment, because I have my 10 month old niece visiting :)

Like any semi normal teenager, I have left all my homework to the end of the school break and will be in a rush to finish it before I go back on Monday, so I may or may not update over the weekend, but I hope I can find the time to update.

33!!! Yes, thats right, I got 33 reviews since last updating... 21 of them were for past chapters, but thats still 21 more then what I had :D So that means I had 12 reviews for Chapter 10, and I'm happy to say that you all enjoyed it :D I think one or two of you mentioned something about disliking cliffies, I also dislike it when writers leave a story on a cliffhanger, and then take ages to update, so I'm sorry!!!!.... I will try to update faster in future when leaving stories on a cliffhanger.

Read and review people, let me know what you think of the chapter... did you enjoy the kissing part? If the majority says no, I won't include another one. If the majority says yes... well then I guess I had better ask my cousin to help me write it (I based Shayne on him)
