A/N: Well its been awhile, I know that and I apologize for the delay! Just been surprisingly busy lately but had a strike of inspiration and now I have another chapter of this and my Harry Potter story in the works! Woo! Thanks to everyone for the reviews so far, its really helped me get in the right state of mind for this and if it wasn't for everyone one of you I wouldnt have wanted to go this far. Its as much my story as it is all of yours so once again thanks!


"Im sorry sir. Reese was Killed in Action." His voice trembled slightly while he spoke. His eyes turned away and he was looking at the ground now. I felt a surge of anger for only a moment before it subsided, There was no point in getting worked up over another dead man, in-fact, His death meant only one of two things happened. Either the Cullens defeated him, which would be quite the feat, even for Vampires. That was what his gift was tailored for. Or Isabella was finally tapping into her power which, if true, was a something that made even me feel something in this blackened heart. I turned to look down the hallway before sighing and turning to face the Captain.

"Too bad for Reese. Keep everything low key for now and I will let you know the next move." He bowed his head slightly before turning on his heels and walking down the hallway. The men looked at me as if I was some sort of king, or a god. I don't believe in that nonsense. When I was just a boy, it fascinated me, Kings and Queens, Gods and Men. Now, Well now was a different story, After seeing what the other side had to offer I decided to believe in the Monsters instead.

"Getting philosophical are we Raz?" The female voice echoed in my head. Oracle, What did I tell you about listening in on me? "My apologies sir, But I just wanted you to know the Vampires and the Shape-shifters are gathering in the forest tomorrow afternoon, also there is another creature, A monster on the outskirts of Forks that we have no previous records of." Alright, Leave me to my thoughts.

Well, At least this weekend will be interesting.


I could feel the cool embrace circling me as I fell deeper and deeper. Let me fall, I said. I felt safe, I felt happy. Then I opened my eyes. Alice had her eyes closed and for a moment I thought she just might be sleeping but then she opened her eyes and all I could do was stare at the golden brown eyes looking down at me. I couldn't quite remember where we were so I turned my head slightly and glanced around the room. My room actually.

"Alice…" I mumbled and looked up into those eyes once more. "How did I get home?"

"You don't remember?" She asked scrunching up her eyebrows in a way that made me forget what I asked in the first place. "I carried you here silly!" She smiled a wide smile and my memories from the day before flooded back to me. Including what I agreed to, in joining the Cullens in their meeting with the Quileute tribe. I smiled up at her before she disappeared from me in a flash. Before I had a chance to even register what was going on, there was a knock on my door and it swung open slightly.

"Bells!" Charlie beamed and pushed the door open more. "I didn't hear you come in last night!" He walked over to the bed and sat down. I looked around the room, hoping that wherever Alice was hiding, Charlie wouldn't find her. I don't know if I could explain that one to him right now.

"Yeah sorry, We were pretty quiet. Sorry about yesterday by the way, I know that you were looking forward to seeing Billy and Jacob." I ran my fingers over the bedding for a moment as Charlie smiled.

"Oh don't worry about that Kiddo. Billy called me and told me Jake was feeling sick so they couldn't come up this way yesterday anyways. I did however go down to the reservation and watched the game with Billy." He turned his head away from me and looked at the open door for a moment before he turned his head and looked at me again. He seemed to be considering something.

"If your free today, I am going down to the Reservation again today, And I know that Billy is looking forward to seeing you.." Uh-oh. How was I going to deal with that one.

"I don't know Dad, I did have some plans with Alice and her family today, but maybe a little later?" He smiled that eye crinkling smile he had stood up from the bed.

"You have been spending a good deal of time with the Cullens, Maybe that Cullen boy.. What was his name again? Oh yeah, Edward. You got an eye on him Bells?" It was a serious question now and I could see it in his eyes but I could only laugh, out loud. Wrong Cullen dad.

"No, no no no. Not him no." I looked past Charlie and for a moment caught a glimpse of honey brown eyes looking back at me through a crack in the closet door. "That's not it at all, I just like spending time with them Dad." He seemed pleased with that answer and nodded his head. He walked towards the door and was about to walk through before pausing and looking back at me.

"Alright Bella, try to make it down today, barring any sort of serious incident, I should be down there all day. I'll see you later." He walked out the door and I let out a sigh, that was close. I got out of bed and began to walk towards the closet before the door opened again and I stopped like a deer in the headlights. Charlie looked at me with a confused look on his face for a moment before he reached into his pocket and produced a key. It looked like a car key.

"I almost forgot. I signed out the car from the impound lot for a few days until we can get you a car of your own. Take care of it and make sure it comes back in the same condition as I gave it to you." I was stunned. He got me a car? Next thing I knew I threw my arms around him in a hug. I could feel him holding me and returning the hug. When I finally let go Charlie ran his hand across his neck. "Wow Bells, where did you get that kind of strength?" He didn't wait around for a response before walking away and closing the door. I held the keys in my hand for a moment before I felt the cool touch of Alice as she ran her hand down my arm until it was connected with my hand. I turned to look at her and she leaned in close.

"You are going to be driving me home miss daisy." She kissed me on the cheek and was out the window before I had a chance to respond, or even think for that matter. I shook my head for a moment and could still feel the cool touch of her hand in mine and the touch of her lips against my cheek. As much as I loved the feeling, that girl was too good at teasing me. I walked over to the dresser and began routing through for the clothes I would be wearing today.

45 minutes later and I was finally ready to go out. I walked down the stairs and found Alice sitting on the counter beside the front door, she had her legs crossed and a bored expression on her face. She leapt off the counter when I reached the bottom of the stairs and I looked at my watch, It was 11am now and we had agreed to meet with the rest of the family at noon before we went to the meeting place at 12:30. That gave us an hour.

"I want to show you something, come with me." She looped her arm through mine and we walked out the front door, The cruiser wasn't in the driveway so Charlie had left sometime while I was showering. What did sit in the driveway however was a large red truck that looked to have driven straight out of the 50s. A smile crossed my face at least a mile wide. Alice on the other hand wasn't as convinced as me.

"Seriously? That hunk of junk?" I released her arm and walked over to the beast of a truck. I was still smiling as I ran my hand across the hood of the truck. I could feel the scrapes and dings from years of use. This truck had history, just like me. It had been through a lot. I could see it driving off the lot the day it was made, its years of travelling down highways all across the country, the rain, the snow, the moon and the sun. All of it took its toll on the truck and now it was mine.

"Don't say that about my truck. It has character." I was aware of her eyes following my movements and when I turned around, she turned her head quickly and I was sure that if she could blush she would have right then. I smiled and began to feel the blood rushing to my cheeks now, No fair Bella, you finally got that reaction out of her and you blush!

"Well it would take way too long for that.. bucket.. to make it where I want to take you so we are going to run!" Alice was standing directly in front of me now and before I had a chance to react she pulled me onto her back and we were off running through the trees. The wind whipping through my hair and the scenery whipping past me set my stomach on edge. I closed my eyes as tight as I could and I could feel the uneasiness subside and when I opened them again to see why the feeling was subsiding and I could see.

"Whoa.." Was all I could say. I could see us moving through the trees as if we were going at a leisurely pace. I could make out the blades of the grass and the bugs trying to hop out of the way. The leaves that didn't have time to be ruffled as Alice ran. The vision only lasted a moment before everything blurred out again and I got queasy. What was happening to me? This vision, that whole incident yesterday morning? Something was changing inside of me and I could feel it.

"Here we go." Alice said as we came to a stop in the brush. I got off her back and wiped my hands off on my pants, getting the non-existent dust off of me. Alice smiled at me and I looked up and around but all I could see was trees and rocks. I was about to ask what I'm looking for but she held out her hand and I took it without hesitation. I knew with her I would be safe, we walked through the trees before coming to a large clearing. The sun was shining brightly and it was reflecting off of her skin. I could feel the blood rushing to my face; she looked so absolutely gorgeous I didn't even realize that there was anything else in this clearing. There was something though.

"Alice.. I" I didn't have the words to describe it. Sitting in the middle of this beautiful clearing was a blanket and on the blanket was a picnic basket. She wanted us to have a picnic out here? On a day like today? "I don't know what to say!" I really didn't.

"Say you will join me!" Alice said in a cheery voice as she skipped towards the blanket and sat down with a soft thud. I stood still, not at all sure if I could move or if this was some dream. I closed my eyes as tight as I could, fearing that when I opened them, it would be. I took a deep breath and opened my eyes to find Alice standing mere inches from me. She leaned forward and once again I felt like my heart had stopped completely but I wouldn't have cared, her cool lips pressed against mine and it was like my whole world exploded. She was so soft but her lips felt like marble, it was a feeling I had never experienced in my life. It felt like an eternity before she pulled away and I felt my heart start beating again.

".." I didn't know what to say. I knew my face was redder than a cherry but I don't think I could have been happier in that one moment then any moment in my lifetime. I opened my eyes and Alice was still standing close to me but back a little than before. She was smiling widely, almost as much as I was when I saw her smiling. I grabbed her by the hand now and lead the way towards the blanket. A couple of times I thought we had lost track of time but the food was good and I couldn't help but smile the entire time I was sitting with her. Eventually however, it was time to go.

It was a quick run with me hanging on Alices back and we found ourselves standing in a clearing, with about 15 minutes before we were supposed to be meeting with the Quileute tribe. We were only there for a moment before Carlisle and Esme arrived followed closely behind by Jasper and Emmett. I was waiting for Adam and Serena to come out of the forest as well but Jasper followed my eye line and then shook his head.

"They aren't coming, Adam tends to set them on edge. It's better for everyone involved so he decided to stay back." He turned back as Rosalie stepped out of the trees behind Emmett and placed a hand on his back as Jasper walked over to me and Alice. "Don't worry; they just want to talk about what happened yesterday." He spoke and I began to feel much more relaxed.

"I still don't know why she should be here." Alice said, not looking at anyone in particular as she talked. I felt for her hand and gripped it tight and she seemed to relax slightly. She looked me in the eyes and for a moment I felt like she was trying to tell me something without saying it but I wasn't psychic so I didn't know. "If one of those smelly-"

"Alice, she is going to be okay. All of us are here and it won't take but a moment or two for Adam and Serena to get here. She will be safe." Jasper said as he and the rest of the Cullens turned towards something in the bushes. I was about to ask what was going on but I didn't need to, as a man began to walk out of the forest, the first thing I noticed was that he was only wearing a pair of cut-off jeans. Next was that he had a very large circular tattoo on his upper left arm. He had tanned skin and his hair was cropped short. He had a very serious look on his face as he approached Carlisle.

"Carlisle." He spoke in a deep voice as he scanned the rest of the Cullens. I noticed as a few more people walked out of the forest, all of the boys were dressed the same and one girl who was wearing a shirt but also short cut-offs also. "This is Miss Swan?" He asked as he turned towards me. He took a step towards me but before he took a second, Alice stood in front of me in a defensive manner. She was crouched slightly and I could have sworn I heard her growl. Some of the people on the other side began to bounce on their feet, like they were getting ready for something. Some of them smiled and others seemed to get even more serious. I looked at the girl who was just staring at me slightly perplexed.

"Okay guys, we should just take a breath.." Carlisle said as he took a step forward. The man turned to the rest of the Quileutes and with just a cold stare everyone stopped what they were doing. He turned to face me again as Carlisle looked over at Alice, who definitely did not relax in the slightest. He looked into my eyes and held out his hand.

"I am Sam Uley, Your dad is a good friend." I was about to walk over and shake his hand but Alice wouldn't let me past. I took the hint and nodded at Sam, at least some acknowledgement. He seemed to take notice of the situation and nodded back. "Then let us get to business then. We asked you down here to talk to you about the situation that took place yesterday and more specifically the fact that you have a human amongst you."

"I remember the agreement we made with your ancestors. She is here of her own free will." Carlisle said, loud enough for everyone to hear. "Bella will be with us as long as she wants to be." Sam turned to look at me with a curious expression before turning to look at Carlisle again.

"That remains to be seen. Although I fear there may be a bigger problem than that at the moment. There was a creature of unknown origin inside Forks yesterday and more importantly, he attacked Bella Swan. He was killed before he could be questioned but the concern was raised that there may be more like this attacker out there." He walked towards the rest of the group and looked amongst each of the Quileutes. There was some mumblings from them but Sam continued to talk. "They might be here specifically for Bella or they could finally be coming out because of the Cullens."

Alice and Emmett both growled loudly in unison. Sam turned to face them as did Carlisle.

"Bullshit." Emmett said and Rose nodded in agreement. "That dead bastard had nothing to do with us mutt." Jasper was trying to keep everyone calm but it didn't seem to be doing much. I, on the other hand, could have been sitting in a hot tub and wouldn't have been able to feel calmer. Sam turned from calm to pissed in a second. He leaned forward slightly as if he was about to pounce at Emmett but that would be stupid, especially on his part. Emmett was a vampire, it's not like a human could beat a Vam- I didn't get a chance to finish that sentence as one of the boys in the back looked like he exploded and standing in his place was a very large gray wolf. Then more explosions and more wolves joined in. Sam was the only one who hadn't exploded yet. The Cullens, specifically Alice, Surrounded me to protect me.

"Are you kidding me? Werewolves?" I heard myself saying it but I don't remember even thinking that. I heard a chuckle and assumed it was from Emmett but now was not the time for that. Carlisle continued to stand at the lead and he put his hand up trying to signal for peace. Sam turned away from him however, and took a deep breath. The wolves didn't take a step towards us however but began barking and whining all around the clearing.

"It's not what your leech over there said. There is something approaching." Sam tried to keep calm while he talked but it wasn't working. He suddenly began to shake violently then he himself exploded and standing in his place was a very large black wolf. All of the wolves and the Cullens turned towards some sound that I couldn't hear. Everything got very quiet and the only sound that could be heard was the sound of the wind whistling through the trees. Once again I was caught off guard by movement through the trees. It was a man wearing all black and carrying a weapon. Then another, and another, four men in all moved out of the trees with their weapons pointed at the occupants. Two more bodies moved through the forest not dressed like the four commandos. One was a woman with her hair tied back in a tight ponytail and a pair of glasses on her face. She was carrying a clipboard. The man who was walking with her was wearing a suit that looked to be out of the 80s with his sleeves rolled up and everything.

"I got alluv 'em from that far back. Extra points love." The retro guy said, his thick accent sounds Irish. He doesn't seem fazed at all by the fact there are wolves and vampires standing in the clearing. He rubbed his hand across his chin before running it through his slicked back hair. Seriously, It looked like he walked out of an old 80s movie. The woman had a very serious look on her face as she wrote something down on the clipboard before looking up at us.

"Carmichael. Shut up." Another man was moving behind the retro guy, I could hear his feet pressing into the earth as he approached. "Jennifer, please tell the men to lower the weapons. We aren't here for violence. Carmichael, Let the shifters go now." The woman named Jennifer nodded her head and began speaking in a language I didn't understand. The Retro guy apparently named Carmichael looked disappointed and released his balled fist.

"Do you smell that?" I heard Jasper whisper to Emmett who grunted in response.

"So what could possibly be going on down here?" The leader asked and he finally stepped into a place where I could see him. That's when I felt my world crash down around me. I recognized him, it was him. The man from all those years ago, the one who I didn't believe existed.

"Is that Isabella Swan?" He said, and everything around me turned black and I fell.
