Isadora.

The sun was rising as I stood outside of the small house surrounded by a vineyard from all corners. Beautiful Italy. It made me smile as I hugged myself looking out at all the beauty the world had to offer. Nothing seemed as beautiful as it did through my eyes this morning. We had ran all night and finally decided to come to this small house. It's hardly taken care of, but it's mine. I used to love to come here after I first became a vampire. I used to run here to get away from civilization to clear my mind and lose the scent of the humans. I did it to try to control myself and train my senses to learn to enjoy other smells other than the one of human blood. The grapes was one I enjoyed most.

Edward stepped out of the house, we had nothing to do really. We couldn't enjoy a nights rest nor could we eat any of the fresh fruit's the place had to offer. I found it a complete waste but at the same time it was so beautiful and wonderful to enjoy, watching life grow. "Morning Eddie…" I laughed a bit, but he didn't seem to enjoy it. Edward seemed a bit distant since we left last night and I understood that. He had left his love behind. And I wasn't sure if I had as well. A huge part of me was so excited to finally be alone with Edward and another part of me wanted to enjoy a wild night with Jacob once again, though he was a young werewolf it didn't seem it when he took over with such power during our moments of pleasure. I had to contain myself. Maintain your smile and do not fantasize about things that you should not be involved with, I told myself trying to think of something else that wouldn't make me so obvious. If I were a human girl, I would have blushed just like Bella does. I laughed a bit at that.

Edward sat on the wicker loveseat I had out on the front porch with Matthew Lewis's first edition book The Monk. I sighed knowing that it would take time for him to finally deal with the fact that we may not go back to Forks. He wanted to go back but I didn't want him to leave my side now that I had him. I knew he could hear my thoughts and wasn't too happy with them. But why did he come then? Did he come because he felt sorry for me? That must have been it.

"Don't make assumption's Isadora. I don't even know why the hell I'm here."

Uh-oh, he was mad. I went and sat on the empty seat next to him in the loveseat. "If you feel you shouldn't be here then why don't you go back?"

"I don't know, some part of me, some stupid part of me says I should be here, sitting down right next to you but I know another part of me wants to be back in Forks sitting in Bella's bed, helping her with her Chemistry homework or whatever." He sighed, a sigh of irritation. I reached out to run my hand through his hair.

"I can deal on my own Edward, I've done it for quite a few years. I know you feel a responsibility for me but I'm not a child that you can constantly guard. If I want to go out and explore the world I'm going to." I saw him look down at his feet, resting his elbows on his legs. I moved to kiss his forehead and he laughed a bit.

"Okay, but I want to be one-hundred and ten percent sure that you are okay. I'm going to be here for a week and after that I'll head back to Forks and make sure my family is all right and all."

I smiled and nodded agreeing with his deal. After that week I'll just go back to France and continue with my dance. But this week would be the best week of a lifetime, or more.

Seth.

The battle was tough and intense. Apart from the 18 newborns there were others. According to Alice, Victoria had a plan that she couldn't see until today, the day of the battle, and it was too late for us to do anything about it. Victoria had sent one of her minions to go convert more newborns. Those newborns were easily around 20 or 25 if more. They had traveled throughout the States to get these newborns so that it wouldn't seem so suspicious. She was smart.

Her plan was going to work out to her advantage. Victoria would have her glorious victory for her James. But the whole story did not end in her favor. Though we were weak, she still lost the battle. Jacob came through for everyone at the end when he jumped up behind Victoria just about as she was going to attack Bella and he killed her. He tore her into pieces with no mercy. Bella was still in complete shock when he carried her back to the field with us. I stared over at Alice, poor little Alice. The ashes of her beloved one in her arms. If she had the tears to cry that would be all she'd be doing at the moment. Instead she held him the best way she could until the gust picked up and blew his ashes away. She wanted to kill Victoria over and over again and make her pay for what she had done. Not only had she destroyed her love, Jasper, but Sam had too been injured badly. Dr. Cullen decided that we needed to get Sam to a bed so that he might rest and heal and not to stress himself too much. Bella got on Emmett's back and he quickly took her back to her house to let her rest.

I stood there as I watched the pack help Sam back to his house. I wanted to leave with the rest but I saw that Jacob was staying behind. He changed into his human form and put on his sweat pants and walked over to Alice. She had pushed everyone else away but to Jake she threw her arms around him. I saw him wince a little as she held on a bit too tight. She got the message and let her grip lose a bit. I couldn't hear what she was telling him since I was now further away from them but she continued to repeat something in his ear and he nodded.

I couldn't imagine what they could be talking about. I thought Jacob hated the vampires. I mean, we all had seen what he and that one friend of Edwards did but how could he be hugging Edwards sister like that. He loathed them before and now he wanted to comfort her. Uh, I just don't understand him some days. He's like a woman, I swear. I quickly ran back to Sam's house and changed into my human form. Dr. Cullen had wrapped Sam's wounds in bandages, though it wouldn't be necessary because we heal fast, Sam still thanked him for his thoughtfulness and told him he appreciated what he was doing for him. Dr. Cullen made a small smile and nodded as he stood up off the bed and started to leave. He looked at me as he passed me to leave the house and I could tell in his eyes that he was in deep pain for the lose of his son Jasper, but even more for the loss of his wife Esme.
