Hi. So, holy crap that was quite a few reviews I got the last chapter. Some of you were upset and some weren't. Lol. I'm sorry again. But like I asked last chapter, please bear with me.

Warning: There is some coarse language in this chapter. BTW, Bella swearing might be a little OOC but that's just MY version of her.

Of course, I do not own Twilight. All right belong to the author.

Hope you enjoy and I'll see you at the bottom. :)

Jacob Black stood on a cliff overlooking the ocean.

The sun was setting, creating a beautiful sunset that was nearly perfectly mirrored on the unusually calm water. Despite the beauty of the evening, Jacob couldn't help but feel anxious...as if something bad was about to happen. His heightened senses were picking up everything from all around him.

Jacob had been feeling like this all day. He could sense a threat but was unaware as to what it was. Regardless, Sam had sent a few of the pack patrolling just to be sure, because Sam was feeling it too. Unease.

Jacob hated the wolf inside of him. He hated not being normal. Life had become so difficult since he had first phased. All Jacob wanted was for life to return to normal...when the definition of a busy was sitting in his garage, working on his cars with warm sodas and some pizza. Now a busy day consists of patrolling and killing vampires. Though Jacob didn't mind ridding the earth of the bloodsucking parasites, he'd still prefer to be completely human.

Another thing that made him angry was Bella Swan. Or more specifically, the fact that she had been turned. Jacob had had a rather big crush on her since they were kids, though he never saw her often. And now she had been turned into his mortal enemy...yet another reason to hate being a wolf.

Even though Jacob liked Bella and still had a crush on her even though he's supposed to hate her, he didn't want to imprint on anyone. He wanted to fall in love with someone, not be forced to love that person like Sam and Emily.

Jacob lost himself in his thoughts for a while longer before he heard a wolf howl in the distance. He knew that howl. His alpha, Sam. He sounded urgent.

Jacob quickly phased, the sound of fabrics shredding behind him as he immediately broke into a run towards La Push. The mind of the pack assaulted him and he saw the reason for Sam's howl. There were vampires nearby, a lot of them. Quickening his pace, he met up with his pack in no time at all. Since the Cullen's had left, the pack had grown. The youngest and newest members of the pack named Colin and Brady, a mere thirteen years old. Their minds were nervous and a little afraid but still eager to prove themselves to their new brothers.

There are at least three of them. I caught their scents. Sam.

We have them outnumbered, we can take them out easily. Paul was ready for a fight as always.

Relax, Paul. We need a plan of attack. It would be foolish to go in there blind and wing it. Sam.

Remember they might have some freaky powers on their side that we won't be able to fight off. Jared reminded us.

"Oh, look," The wolves were interrupted by a deep, foreign voice. "The infamous shape shifters." The voice chuckled darkly, causing growls to resonate deeply from each of the wolves. Paul made to attack but a sharp bark from his alpha had his knees buckling under him.

"Well, I am in no mood for a dramatic monologue on my part so let's get down to it, shall we?" His voice was as smooth as silk as his Italian accent rolled flawlessly off of his tongue. "First things first, I am looking for an Isabella Swan." Jacob snarled, his mind reeling. What could they want with the woman he so wanted to be his?

We need to speak with them. I will shift, the rest of you stay alert and do NOT attack unless I say. Sam commanded his pack as he backed behind a tree to phase and pull on some shorts. With his head held high and posture straight and intimidating, he addressed the vampire in front of him.

"What could you possibly want with the girl?"

Demetri smirked little, side eyeing his companions. "I do believe that is solely our business. Is she alive?"

"I do believe that is solely our business," Sam mocked as his eyes narrowed. Sam collapsed, a strangled scream leaving him as his entire body felt as if it had been submerged in acid. The pack whined and snarled, fearful for their alpha while simultaneously not knowing what to make of the situation. They itched to attack and eliminate the enemy but Jared's warning echoed in all of their minds. Freaky powers.

After what seemed like hours to the pack, Sam finally stopped screaming and stood up shakily, even though he was physically fine. "Are you ready to cooperate?" Demetri chuckled, an amused smile on his face.

"What...what the fuck was that?" Sam spat, glaring at the trespassers.

"That was merely a warning. This can be easy, or it can be hard. The choice is yours. Choose wisely," A child-like voice warned. She seemed innocent enough, Sam noted. But he knew better. He didn't know which one of the leeches caused him that hideous pain but he suspected it was the physically less threatening one of them all, if not for the evil look in her eye, then simply for the warning she gave after being silent for the whole ordeal.

"Are you ready to comply?" Demetri demanded once more.

Sam thought for a few seconds, glancing back at his anxious pack. He was at a crossroad. He didn't want to give in and appear weak to his pack against the enemy, but survival instincts kicked in and he knew that they had a very slim chance of surviving if they decided to get testy. Not to mention, he most definitely didn't want to feel whatever that horrid pain was ever again.

Sam sighed, a weary look settled on his face. "What do you want with Isabella?" He asked again, this time sounding resigned, defeated.

Demetri thought for a moment, debating what to say before finally speaking. "Our masters have ordered us to scout the area and deal with the creatures who have broken the laws." Sam was a little surprised the vampire had revealed as much as he did.

Demetri started to get impatient, "Isabella?"

"She's not h-" Sam started to speak but was cut off but a deafening snarl Jacob had let loose. "Enough, Jacob!" Sam snapped.

"She isn't here? So, she's alive then?" Jane cut in, demanding an answer. Jacob growled again, leaning back on his legs as if he were about to attack...and he almost did. However, much like Sam early, Jacob dropped just as fast as a yelp and a long whine sounded through the air, Jane's intense glare set directly on Jacob's shaking form. "Stop testing me, mutt. I have no patience for most creatures, much less your kind."

"Jane," Alec's voice chimed softly and Jane's glare let up. Jacob stood still, almost as if he were scared the pain would start again if he moved. Refusing to look weak, he stood, raising himself to stand at his full height.

"It might be best if we were to pay Chief Swan a visit," Jane told Felix. "We'll be able to return home faster." Felix nodded, agreeing with her. "Demetri, you finish up here and meet us back at the jet." Demetri gave a swift nod and Jane and Felix disappeared out of thin air.

The newest and least controlled members of the pack were getting more and more antsy by the second. It took all the control they had to hold themselves back from attacking. Their alpha's commanded were less intense while in human form, leaving them to have more control of their own choices and actions. But that was not helpful in this situation.

"Chelsea," Demetri called. "Maybe you can help them tell us." He motioned towards Sam. It would be more beneficial on their parts to warp the alpha's trust rather than the entire pack. The other wolves would have no choice but to agree to any orders that were given. Sam started to feel funky, almost like he was starting to trust them. The feeling kept growing. And growing. The pack was snarling once more.

"Will you tell us where young Isabella is?" Chelsea crooned. A dazed look crossed Sam's face as he nodded dumbly, feeling a unstoppable desire to please the beautiful woman before him.

"She's with the Cullen's. A rogue vampire crossed through here few months ago and bit her before we could stop him. The Cullen's got there first and allowed the change to happen. I am unaware of where they moved to when they left." Sam finished, the feeling disappeared faster than it festered within him.

Jacob had lunged at the smug woman, a growl ripped from his throat. Colin and Brady used that to justify their own attacks and lunged forward also. It all happened so fast. Chaos ensued, a battle enveloping the tiny clearing they stood in. Colin jumped through the air towards the child vampire Jane, flaming hot fire causing him to fall to the ground with a loud thud. Jane ran to his side, wrapping her thin but strong arms around his neck and squeezing. Bones snapped and Colin was roughly released, hitting the ground...not moving, or breathing. Brady howled, anguish lacing every noise that escaped him.

Brady made to jump for Jane, but before he could move more than two feet, another child vampire, the same age as Jane had appeared in front of him. With a swift punch to Brady's face and a fatal kick to his chest, Brady smashed through a tree, landing beside his brother, unmoving and not breathing.

Bella POV -

"Damn it, Emmett!" I hissed as a baseball smacked into the thigh.

I'd been practicing with my shield all day but I'd been unable to focus enough to keep it up longer than a few seconds. We were attempting to perfect my physical shield today since I have better control over my mental shield. For some unknown but utterly ridiculous reason, Jasper and Emmett especially thought it would be a good idea to throw baseballs and trees at me at inhumanely high speeds to not only test MY speed but also to build up my strength. My job was to block anything that was thrown at me. So far, I'd realized that trees were easier to block, as they are bigger and slower when thrown. Baseballs, however, I thought with a scowl and rubbed my leg again.

"Focus Bella," Jasper told me.

"I'm trying!" I growled, glaring at Emmett when he laughed at my loss of temper.

Another ball, this time a soccer ball was kicked at me and I thrust my shield up just in time, the ball bouncing back in mid air, only several inches from my stomach. Unfortunately, I'd been so focused on the soccer ball that I had missed another baseball hurtling towards me. "Ow! Fuck, Emmett!" I yelled as it made contact with my back.

Edward was giving Emmett the death glare as he ran up to me and rubbed my back. "Sorry, Bells," Emmett looked apologetic for hurting me.

"How about we try another way to strengthen Bella's shield?" Edward suggested though I knew it wasn't a suggestion. "Emotions, Jasper?" He said.

"Yeah, sure. Okay, Bella, I'm going to send you emotions and you have to block me. My gift relies on physically be able to manipulate the way a person feels, so your mental shield won't cut it." I nodded.

Jasper decided to start off easy, with a wave of calm and I shielded myself easily. "Good, I can't feel you right now Bella." Jasper smiled. "Let's kick it up a notch, shall we?"

I let my shield down and almost immediately I started to feel a slowly building anxious feeling in my chest. The anxiety was definitely harder to block than the calm. I struggled slightly but was still able to stop Jasper's effect.

"I was able to feel your struggle before you blocked me, Bella," Jasper said softly. "We'll have to keep working on the stronger emotions. Next one?" I nodded, a little hesitant. Jasper wasn't sending me anything at the moment but I still felt anxious, uneasy as if he still was. Something felt wrong.

"I need you to focus, Bella," he said and I nodded, irritated with the word itself. Focus. I'd only been trying to focus all damn day, I scoffed.

I took a deep breath and waited for the next emotion to invade me. As soon as I'd let the breath out, I was hit with a fear so powerful my knees buckled beneath me. I would have fallen if not for Edward, he had steadied me. A scream erupted from my throat and I couldn't focus on my shield because I was suddenly somewhere else entirely.

Forks. Charlie's house.

"Where is the girl?" A large man snarled and I gasped, vaguely recalling his name to be Felix.

Charlie was dangling by his neck from the cruel hands of the Volturi guard. Charlie was barely able to choke out a response.

"Isabella Swan!" Felix growled.

Choking noises continued to emit from Charlie as he tried in vain to get the hands of the vampire away from his throat. Finally, Felix dropped him and Charlie continuously gasped in air. Everything was surreal and I watched in complete terror.

"...if those mutts were telling the truth." My eyes snapped from Charlie to Felix. Mutts? Did they attack the wolves too?

Felix continued interrogating Charlie and I cried silently. I knew that if the Volturi exposed themselves to a human, they'd be killed right after they were through with them. I tried as hard as I could to shake myself out of the vision. I had to get to Charlie, now!

"What's wrong with her?!" Edward's voice was frantic. "Calm her down, Jasper!"

Snap out of it, snap out of it. I chanted in my head as I pushed with whatever force was keeping me in this vision. Come on! I growled.

"I'm trying! I can't reach her. She's blocking me!" Jasper defended, his voice just as panicked as Edward's.

"Open your eyes, love, please!" Edward begged. I heard another shrill scream and I realized it was me. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't 'wake up' from the vision.

I focused back on Charlie and tensed as I saw another figure had walked into the room and stood beside Felix. Jane, I thought. Dread filled me.

"Felix," She spoke. "Let us be done with this." No!

Felix grinned and stepped closer to my father, a predatory look in his eyes.

Charlie had closed his eyes.

I opened my eyes, wide and fearful.

"Charlie, no!"

"Bella! Calm down, tell us what's wrong!" Edward was trying to stay calm for me, urging me to calm down as well but I just couldn't.

"Charlie!" I was almost hyperventilating. "They got Charlie, Edward!"

"Who did, Bella?" Jasper's voice was calm, quiet and deadly, though his eyes showed his concern for me.

"The Volturi guards!"

Their eyes widened. The others had joined us by now, all of them, the worry written all over their faces. I hadn't noticed when Edward had wrapped me in his arms, but I was suddenly grateful. I was sure I would have collapsed had I been standing on my own.

Okay, sweetheart, I need you to take a deep breath and calm down." He waited until I had done so, the shock ebbing away enough for tears to start gathering in my eyes. The burn was uncomfortable.

"I had a vision... The Volturi guards, Felix and Jane...I'm not sure who else...they went to Charlie's house. They were asking about me." I took another deep breath that did almost nothing to help me. "They revealed the secret to Charlie, or he figured it out, but they couldn't just leave him!" I sobbed and Edward pulled me even closer.

"Oh, sweetheart," Esme whispered. I could tell she wanted to approach me but she stopped herself.

"Did...did they...hurt...Charlie, Bella?" Carlisle asked slowly. I knew he didn't want to say the word 'kill'.

Another sob left me at the thought. "I don't know! I didn't see that part but it sure looked like it." Edward brushed his lips against my temple.

"Okay. We need more details, Bella. What was said?" He prompted.

"They said... They mentioned the wolves?" I was struggling to remember it clearly but the shock was still too real.

"Love, let your shield up. Let me in," Edward requested. And I did. He watched my thoughts, making better sense of them than I could at the moment. He was quiet for a while as I attempted to breathe normally.

Finally, he spoke. "Okay, well, it would seem they paid the wolves a visit. The vision didn't reveal anything about the wolves other than that. They went to Forks to look for Bella, I'm assuming because of Victoria."

I leaned my forehead against his shoulder, breathing in his scent in deep gulps because only he could calm me like that.

"Felix let Charlie know that his supposed deceased daughter was in fact, alive, and a vampire. Though Charlie mostly figured it out on his own. Mostly due to the Quileute tribal myths." Edward paused and stared at me. "But love, they didn't kill him in your vision. When is it supposed to take place?" He asked.

Two minutes. The voice in my head informed.

"Two minutes," I whispered as a fresh batch of tears formed. Esme couldn't take it then and she approached me, wrapping her arms around both Edward and me since he refused to let go of me even for a second. I welcomed her eagerly.

"Bella," Carlisle called me firmly. "Calm yourself down. You're unable to focus right now and we truly need you to, Charlie needs you to." I closed my eyes as I tried desperately to follow his orders.

Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale.

As soon as I was calm enough, the scenery changed before me. I wasn't in Edward's arms any longer though I could feel them wrapped around me. It was comforting and helped me keep my grip on reality.

I looked around me and realized that I was in Castle Volterra again, only this time it was extremely dark and dungy. I could see fine, but I was confused as to why it would be so dark. I was in a hallway that lead to double doors. Walking to them, I pushed them open and gasped softly.

It was a dungeon.

There weren't many beings locked up, but most were vampires. I briefly wondered how these cells could detain a vampire but it was shoved from my mind as my gaze landed on one of the two humans in this dank place of nightmares.

My eyes were wider than ever before.

"Charlie."

You know, I almost killed Charlie off but it just didn't work out. You guys also helped convince me otherwise. LOL.

I have mixed feelings about the way this chapter came out...I like it, but I don't? Idk.

More to come with the wolves, though I don't plan to make the pack best friends with our fav vamp family.

Please tell me what you think. I appreciate all your words. It is helpful. :)
