Ugh I'm so sorry I didn't update the day after, I just realized I had 2 quizzes; school ruins everything; Literally.

OOPS! I'm sorry! I forgot to upload the last chapter and accidentally uploaded it to my Mediator fanfic, but I moved it back here, phew.

Disclaimer: Everything you recognize belongs to Stephenie Meyer, not me; although I do wish I owned Edward... (sigh) (: Lucky Bella.

Chapter 11 (PART 2)

Bella's POV

I waited with the Cullens anxiously for Jacob and his friends to arrive anxiously. Edward's hand tightened around mine and I looked up to smile at him weakly. I knew that it was tough for him to bear with all of this; his dislike for Jacob and werewolves was strong.

Please forgive me I looked at his face, trying to define his expression. One of his eyebrows rose upwards, What for? His questioning topaz eyes glinted as the clouds shifted and the sun peeked out, revealing a glimmer of sunlight, making his skin and mine shine against the other. For making you put up with this I thought, forcing my eyes to stare back at the ground. I couldn't look straight into his eyes as I waited for his reaction.

"It's nothing" he whispered in my ear, but I wasn't convinced. I leaned my head onto his chest, and unhooked my hands from his grip, locking them around his lean body form. He leaned his cheek against my forehead and we stayed together in that tight embrace.

At the corner of my eyes I saw Rosalie shift around beside Emmett uncomfortably, as she stared at me coldly. I turned away, burying my face back into the softness of Edward's shirt.

Why does she dislike me so much? What is the reason for that kind of behavior towards me?

I pushed away those thoughts as I waited for the werewolves.

Edward's head suddenly snapped up, I glanced towards the direction he was facing. "Werewolves" he muttered, I quickly sat up into a more normal position, with my new senses, I could smell the werewolves' presence, to my surprise, it smelled awful. I wondered why I didn't notice the smell the last time I saw Jacob; I was already a vampire then. Maybe I was too busy concentrating on how he would take it, than focusing on his scent.

I watched as Jacob appeared suddenly by my side. Wrinkling his nose, he shuffled around until he was facing Edward.

"What now, bloodsucker?" I frowned at the fierceness of his tone.

"We are here to compromise, not to argue nor to fight, so please, behave?" Carlisle spoke softly, trying to ease the tension in the room; but Jasper took care of that. My nervousness decreased as a wave of calmness washed through, and I watched as Jacob's features smoothened.

His friends stood behind him warily, and I counted the number of faces. One, two, three… seven. A face stood out in the middle of all of them, and I recognized that face. Sam; Jacob told me about him before. His eyes were cold, but I had a neutral feeling towards him.

"So, what is the plan? When are they going to attack?"

"From about in five days, to a week. We don't have much time to prepare" Alice warned

The pack guffawed in laughter as we stared at them in horror. They should take this seriously, newborn vampires were not a joke.

"Jake!" I glared at him as he tried to muffle his laughter,

"What?"

"Stop it! This is not something to laugh about, they can be dangerous"

He scoffed "Dangerous? Not to us"

"They are stronger than normal vampires, and they go crazy easily, it's not something easy to deal with"

Jacob smirked, and I knew that he wasn't really paying attention to what I was saying, and then Edward interrupted.

"We can discuss techniques with you, for how to fight these newborns. They have no experience in fighting, and especially not with werewolves, but no matter what, you must not let them get their arms around you. If they do, once they wrap their arms around you, you're helpless, and your bones will definitely be crushed by their newborn strength." He cautioned them.

The pack nodded, and Jacob spoke first, "Is it okay if we catch your scent first, so we would not mix your vampire scent with theirs?" Edward nodded in approval, and they came forward, sniffing each of us carefully. It felt pretty awkward, having them poke their noses towards us and inhaling; definitely not something I was used to. I stayed still as the whole pack moved by, and Sam looked up at me.

"We will be back in five days, if not sooner" he looked at Jake while saying the last few words of his sentence. Everyone agreed, and Jacob's friends slowly walked away. Jake looked at me "I don't think I could ever get used to you in that vampire body"he smirked as I glared at him"Eugh and that smell…" I folded my arms around my chest as my mouth turned even more downwards "And who are you to judge?" my nose itched as his hot dog (no pun intended) smelling scent filled the air. He grinned, chuckling, and walked a few steps towards where his friends headed. "Later Bells" he waved once, and disappeared through the forest.
