A/N 1: My second chapter of the day, yay for me. I think I'm writing more (not just on here) to keep my mind off of something I want… But hey, I think I'm going to be done in a chapter or two. So, I'll stop rambling now and let you read. Enjoy and review. Thanks.

From Edward's POV

"Why don't you want to answer me?"

"Bella, it's a… surprise."

"You know I hate surprises Edward."

I didn't want to lie to her, but if she knew that there was a psychopath killer vampire out to destroy all of us, I didn't think that would go over too extremely well. "Why don't we try something with the new you…"

From Bella's POV

We went outside, and into the forest behind the house. We walked for about ten minutes, and then he just stopped. "Ok, we're here."

"We're where?" He pointed up and what I saw suddenly made me fearful.

From Alice's POV

In about a half an hour I was fearing for my life. He had hid far away from me, although I knew he could still see me. I knew because he was projecting thoughts into my head. But that's not what made me fear for my life. What made me fear for my life was the fact that Jacob Black and his "gang" was below me. They were in human form, but I knew they could kill me if they wanted to.

"No, I can't kill her. I mean… She's one of Bella's best friends…"

"She broke the treaty, we deserve our justice."

"But Bella would be so…"

"Would you forget about Bella?"

"Obviously she didn't come in here on her own! Why would she tie herself up to a tree upside down and just wait for us to come when she knew she wasn't supposed to be here?"

"Let's ask her. So, how do you explain this?" He looked up at me and waited for an answer.

"There's this vampire, not from around here, that wants to kill us. He wants revenge for some stupid thing from thirty or so years ago. He will stop at nothing to kill us all, and I think he wanted you to kill me. That's why I'm up in the tree. I don't know why he waited for you, but he did. I would not have ever broken the treaty of my own free…"

But before I could finish I heard a growl from his direction. "Just kill her! She broke your precious treaty and you need your justice…" His voice was becoming sadistic. This was not going to end peacefully.

Jacob turned to face him. "Oh now you've done it. You mess with Bella, you mess with me. Guys, I got this one." He turned into a wolf.

"Jacob, he's too powerful. Release me and I'll…" One of his friends held up his hand to silence me.

"Fine then Mr. Hero, you'll just have to die too." Xavier's eyes grew colder than I've ever seen any other vampires, and it almost hurt to look into them. Jacob jumped up and onto Xavier. The fight was on.

From Bella's POV

I looked up and I automatically knew what he wanted me to do. About fifty feet up, between two trees, was a piece of wood stretching between them. It was only about two inches wide, and for some reason I didn't really trust Edward right now. I wonder why…

"Are you crazy?"

"You're a vampire now; you'll be able to do this."

"Are you crazy?"

"You could walk across that if it was a half-inch around if you wanted to."

"Are you crazy?"

"Bella, trust me. You've been changed. Even if you do fall, which you won't, you can't be hurt now anyway. Do you think I'd let my bride to be hurt herself?"

"No seriously, are you crazy?" He did have a point though. "Ok then, I'll try it. But I know you're crazy now." I climbed the tree, which scared me to death now anyway. But it got worse once I stood on the platform that was up there. I didn't dare look down, but it was bad enough just knowing that it was this high up.

"Edward I don't think…"

"Don't worry about it." He was now standing on the platform on the other side holding his arms out to accept me when I got to the other side.

I took the first daring step, then another, and another. I little bit of the way on there and I realized that it was easier than I thought. I began to go faster, and faster until I was there. I ran into his arms and he wrapped them around me. He kissed me on the forehead, laid his head on mine, and whispered into my ear, "I knew you could do it Bella. I knew it. Welcome to your new life my angel."
