Chapter 14: Time is of the Essence

My Bella was minutes away from us and we were standing around in our Paris home that we had purchased a long time ago.. It was so frustrating to watch my family sit around while we had no enough time to do so.

"Carlisle we need to figure out what we are going to do now!"

"Edward you need to calm down. Yelling is going to get you no where and to tell you the truth I already have a plan forming so if you could be quiet and sit down we can get on with things." Carlisle stood up to address the group. "Jake how much does your pack know?"

"Just the basics." Carlisle nodded.

"Well, we had better get you guys filled in. After you left Jacob, we found the were-a-bouts of Bella and what we need to fight to get her back. Felix and Demetri do not have any special powers but they are very skilled in fighting. They have somehow decided to bring along newborns supposedly from the guard. The Guard is a group of very skilled vampires and that does include special ability like Edward and Alice." The pack started to nod there heads, signaling Carlisle to continue. "Jacob and Sam have selected an exact amount of you for a certain reason.

As you all know, Alice has difficulty seeing the future when werewolves are present." The plan started to click into place. "By blocking every path for them to intercept, it gives us a smokescreen tactic when entering their camp. Jacob, you and Sam will divide the pack into groups pertaining to experience in fighting newborns; mainly those who have helped us before and those who have not." Jacob nodded and began moving men to different corners of the house. "Jasper, your job will be to train up the new wolves for any possible situations that could occur while we are out there." Jasper immediately stood up and walked toward the group on the left.

"Carlisle the Denali's are here." Alice came sprinting in. Carlisle soon left for the front room. The Amazon's and the Irish would be arriving soon so Esme rushed into the next room to get everyone situated.

All I could think about was Bella. My mind was so clouded that I hadn't even realized that Alice and Emmett were calling my name.

"Alice what do you want?" Alice raised an annoyed eyebrow at me and beckoned for me to follow her and Emmett to the backyard.

"We are going to scout the area and you are coming with." She dragged two werewolves out with us as we took off into the forest.

BELLA CULEN:

Felix was not only rude, but abusive. Every time I was supposed to eat he deprived me of food by taunting and insulting me in the process. I was probably so skinny by now that I looked ghastly. I had gashes in my arms and legs as well as a broken leg which is still in a mangled state.

Everyday I think of my family which I had finally decided I would never be able see again. I would never get to go shopping with Alice for my new look or become sisters with Rosalie. I wouldn't get the chance to hug Renee or cook for Charlie. Never would I be able to live with my new family including Carlisle and Esme. It wasn't fair that when life was finally beginning to look good, it took a turn for the worst. Edward was right a year ago; I was a danger magnet and he was messing with fate by keeping me alive. It was only a matter of time before my fate would catch up and I would die in this hole with out even one goodbye.

EDWARD CULLEN:

We were running threw the woods as I began to pick up a scent. Alice looked back at me and hopped up into a near by tree. I followed shortly after watching over the tree line. There was a mansion perched in this clearing with several scents following from every which way and I knew this was it. The werewolves were doing there jobs; it seemed as though no one had speculated anything.

This plan had a fifty-fifty chance of failing and it had me on edge. Alice glanced over to me with sympathetic eyes. I wasn't the only stressed being in this family and I needed to realize that. Although, the sight of the house made me even more anxious and jumpy, the pain that ceased through my body was unbearable. It took all of my strength not to run into that house and snap the necks of anybody who got in my way to get to Bella.

I kept telling myself that I needed wait, to save Bella's life I needed to wait. The plan was working smoothly so far and puzzle pieces were beginning to fit together. I still had no idea why Alice could not see Bella. It was almost like they had a barrier blocking her visions. I didn't smell werewolves and so that couldn't possibly be the reason for the blockage of visions.

"Edward, lets head back to the house. I need to talk to Carlisle, and you and Emmett should go and help Jasper with the new werewolves." She gently placed a dainty hand on my shoulder. "I know that I cannot see her, directly. But Edward, I know for fact that she is okay. I can feel it. I realize that I am not being much help in this situation but I want her to be safe just as much as you do. You may not realize that I care as much as you. She was my sister and my best friend and even Rosalie who can be a complete hag sometimes wants her to come back alive." She smirked at me and I pulled her into a hug.

"You may not realize this but you are comforting me in ways that others haven't in these past few days." She smiled at me and we quickly retreated back to the house after Emmett who left to give us privacy.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

We had traveled back into the back yard to see how Jasper was coming along with the young wolves. Emmett and I had already trained with Jasper months ago and we were almost as skilled as Jasper.

"Hello Jasper. How is it coming along?" He left his current student and walked over.

"It's going good. They are picking up the concepts fast and I have a feeling that we may be able to attack earlier then we planned." Those words gave me even more comfort. Bella would be back in my arms by tomorrow and we could enjoy the rest of our honeymoon together.

"Do you need any help with them Jasper?" He looked up from the ground.

"Edward if you would like to take that small group over there, you are more than welcome to. Emmett you can take my second group that I have already taught the basics to." We nodded and went our separate ways. The lessons were supposed to take my mind of the current situation but I don't think anything would take my mind off Bella.

I had to give the werewolves credit. They came in moments notice to help out Bella and even though their job lies within the reservation, they flew to Paris with us to bring Bella back. If it weren't for the fact that they werewolves we would be able to get along. They were sincere guys who were very selfless, even though Sam did order them but still Sam did what he did.

Each hour passed without my notice as I continued to teach the werewolves man tactics to fighting newborn vampires. Newborns were wild and unpredictable but you could still take many precautions to avoid being bit. Venom in an already-vampire-body did not kill us but it burned like hell. Werewolves, though, were at more of a risk because it could prove to be a fatal bite depending on the strength of their body. So it was very crucial for them to stick to the rules of fighting and dodge and weave during these types of fights.

"Edward! Carlisle would like to see you." Alice was jogging over to take my place as I excused myself from the group. So far everyone was cooperating well and we would be able to go ahead with the plan smoothly.

I entered Carlisle's study, dodging all of the arriving vampires gathering in our living room. The noise that was emanating from the room was beginning to unnerve me. This was crunch time and the noise just added to my stress level.

Carlisle met me at the doorway and yanked me into a chair in front of the desk.

"We need to speak about what is to take place within the next couple of hours or so." I nodded and pinched the bridges of m nose signaling him to move forward. "I realize that you are anxious to get Bella back, but there needs to be some tactic to this plan of ours. You cannot go running a muck and lose sight of your senses. I know that it is hard for you it here with Bella only a few miles off but you must remain composed and sane."

"Carlisle I can only take this for so much longer. We need to get moving. Jasper has all the wolves trained and ready to go and Emmett and Alice have already scouted out the property, we need a plan now." I placed my head into my hands, no one seemed to realize the urgency of the matter and it frustrated me to no end.

"Edward, I actually was about to call everyone back into room so we can discuss the entry plan. This is going to have to be very strategic." I nodded and said my goodbyes, leaving the room for the back yard to gather everyone back together.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Carlisle talked for the next hour coordinating with us. The Denali Coven had made nice with our werewolves and began to enjoy their company. I was glad they were having a good time. The hour flew by as I realized people began to gear up.

I followed Alice to the backyard to begin the strategy we had loosely put together. You could never tell what was going to happen when you were dealing with newborn vampires. The werewolves were to enter the clearing we scouted first (We figured that if the werewolves block Alice's visions, they may set off a couple of the newborns.)

The smell was suffocating as all of the pack ran on in front of us. My dead heart was pounding as I realized there was no turning back. This plan had to work.
