Disclaimer: Twilight isn't mine, Ventrue's are, blah, blah, blah... =P

A/N: I AM EXTREMELY SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING ASAP AND LEAVING YOU GUYS WITH A TERRIBLE CLIFFY!!! My computer's internet crashed and we had to get 2 technicians to come over and it was a BIG mess! So, when the internet began to work, I began furiously beating at the keys on the keyboard, trying to get this chapter typed up!

Enjoyy and...

Enjoyyy!!!

I squeezed my eyes shut, praying.

Then, I heard him say what I never thought he would say.

He sighed big and whispered into my ear, tickling it with his cool breathe. "Then... I choose option two. I know you know how much pain the transformation will cause, but I also know it's what you want and... well, I- I can't loose you Bella. I just can't. Surprisingly enough, I actually want to keep a human around me... I believe you when you say turning you into a vampire is the only way to keep you alive."

I gave a little gasp and opened my eyes, staring straight at him, in utter shock.

"What?" He asked.

"I- I didn't think you would actually pick option two, I kinda thought you would side with Edward on this one."

"Well, I'm not anything like Edward, and I know what's best for you."

I suddenly felt uncomfortable and excited at he same time, because afterall, if you think about it, I'm discussing with a vampire about when he should bite me and put me through a very painful transformation.

It's all kind of ironic; But then again, I'm not exactly your average, normal human being, am I?

"Um, when? where? how?" I asked.

"Well, I actually think it would be best if we discussed this with the rest of the family and make a group decision over the plans." He stated.

He was right. This type of thing takes time, if you want to make as un-painful as possible. Which, I can tell he wants to do.

He gave me a tight squeeze. Instead of lifting me up like he usually does, he gave me a mischievous grin and didn't move.

Huh?

"Wha-"

Before I could finish my word, Ren's arm jutted out and knocked out me feet from under me.

I let out a lady-like "OOF!" as I fell backwards, tumbling down to the earth.

Milliseconds before the back of my head slammed down into the ground, his arms came under me and lifted me up, bride-style.

"Jesus!" I exclaimed. So that's what the grin was for.

He just chuckled.

"That wasn't funny!"

"I beg to differ!" He was still laughing.

I gave him my best glare which made him laugh more.

That wasn't what I intended my glare to do.

He kept laughing and almost dropped me, causing me to make another lady-like noise, which in turn, caused him to laugh harder.

Fine, only one thing left to do.

I made my face look as sad and torn as possible. It wasn't hard, I've done it so much.

I then whispered quietly, my voice cracking "Why does everyone make fun of me? Am I such a failure?"

He stopped laughing and gave me a worried look.

Hahahaha. Sucker! Two can play at this game.

"Wha-? Bella, n-no your not a failure! Don't say that, I-I'm sorry!!" He said.

Now it was my turn to laugh.

I burst out laughing, his concern was so frickin hilarious, considering he was concerned over nothing!

His face grew more and more confused by the second.

I laughed harder.

"Y..ou...act..u..ally...f...fell...f...or...th..tha...t!!!" I yelled, as best as I possibly could, in between my hard laughs.

I watched as the seconds went by, and you could almost see the lightbulb going off in his head as he got what had just happened.

He smirked, and my laughs quieted.

"Well, then." He said, clearly amused.

I raised one eyebrow before he bent down and gave me a peck on the cheek.

It would've been nice, except when he did so, a shock was purposefully sent through my cheek.

I yelped and glared at him.

He just smirked and said, "Consider us even."

I tried to explain to him that he got me twice and I only got him once so we really weren't even, but before I could, wind slammed against my face as he shot through the foresty woods...

3 Hours Later...

I was sitting on the front steps, I was hugging my knees, my head resting on my knees.

How much longer is this going to take?

They have been arguing and slamming things for three hours, three hours!

I regret asking Ren to change me!

I sighed and remembered what I saw three hours ago.

Flashback

Ren set me down on the front porch and snickered.

"What?" I asked.

"Your... hair..." He said in between little snickers.

I gasped and tried to look at my hair but considering it was behind me, it was utterly impossible.

He gave a little laugh before turning me so I was facing the glass door.

I gasped louder when I saw my hair. It was wind-blown and sticking out everywhere!

I tried to smooth down my wild mane, and made it decent enough before Ren sighed and pushed open the door, shoving me gently in.

When I walked in, everyone was suddenly standing around me.

Raven was leaning against the wall, Alyssa and John were sitting together on the couch, they were all giving me looks of concern.

Ren stood by my side, instead of joining Raven like he usually does.

Is he... well, falling for... me?

No. Pssh of course not! What am I thinking!

I shut out my thoughts and stood there, in awkward silence.

Alyssa was the first to speak.

Her voice was strong, as usual, but filled with concern. "Bella? Are- are you okay? I... well everyone, heard your screams. I tried to go to your aid but... Ren wouldn't let me. He wanted to go, assuring me it wasn't Edward. He said you've done this before, when I was away with Raven."

I blushed and dipped my head down.

Now that was a tad bit embarrasing.

"She's fine now. But..." Ren started.

I lifted my head up and looked at Raven who spoke next, "But... what?" She spoke to Ren but lifted one delicate eyebrow at me.

Ren stepped up, pushing me behind him. Why?

"Ren..." John said, provoking Ren to continue.

"Bella brought up a very good point not too long ago. She knows Edward- more than any of us- and she knows his nature. If his eyes are set on a goal, he won't rest until that goal is accomplished. He's not gonna rest until she is dead! She has seen him in action and she says we are no match for him. HE has his ways of getting what he wants, and it seems he is now turning to newborns to aid him. Who knows what he's gonna do next?! HE already knows each of our scents and where we live! Even if we run away... he will find us, find her! So I think the only option woul-"

Alyssa stood up, interrupting him, "I have an idea... I could use my gene changing power to change what she looks like completely! I could even make her a boy if neccessary!"

"Alyssa, you change genes, what you can't change however, is the fact that Edward knows us! He knows who we are, our scents, EVERYTHING! He will be suspicious if he see's her dissapear and some new person in her place! He's not a complete moron... you should know." Raven spoke strong, except for the last little bit. She sort of whispered that part.

"What do you mean she should know?! Have you met him before?" John was definetely confused.

"It's nothing, it's... nothing. Anyways... I guess, I guess your right Raven. He would be suspicious. Very suspicious. It's too big of a risk." Alyssa waved off John's question, which probally meant she didn't want him to know.

"Ren," Raven turned back towards him, "What were you saying about the only option?"

He gave me a glance before clearing his throat. "As I was saying, the only option would be to change her. She came up with the idea. It makes a lot of sense if you think about it. Raven could tame her and Edward won't be able to attack her as easily."

Everyone was staring at us in shock, their mouths were all wide open. Uh-oh.

Alyssa closed her mouth, swiftly getting up and coming face-to-face with Ren.

"WHAAT?!" Are you out of your mind? You want to kill Bella?! To- to make her one of us?!!? That will only make matters worse!!"

"It's for the BEST!!" Ren yelled right back.

"I agree with Ren. It would be the best thing right now and Bella will be very easy to tame. She won't be nearly as bad as Ren with his massacre scheme." Raven stated firmly.

"No! This is not the best time to change Bella. She wouldn't be able to adapt to our lifestyle in time for Edward's next attack. She wouldn't understand her strenghts and weaknesses. There are extremely high risks to doing this!" John said, countering Raven and siding with his wife, Alyssa.

"NO!" Ren was thoroughly pissed off. His fists were clenching and un-clenching.

"I'm the LEADER and what I say, FRICKIN goes! I'm not gonna allow you to CHANGE HER!" Alyssa was also pissed.

Why won't she allow me to be changed??

"You may be the almighty leader, sis, but you aren't the one protecting Bella are you? NO! Therefore, you do not know what she's going through. I saw her when you were gone. I know what's REALLY going on with her and YOU DON'T!" Ren was about to burst.

Crap.

"YOU ARE WAYYY OUT OF LINE!" Alyssa shoved Ren back and he fell back onto me. I fell as well, we both were falling now and any second I would be squished in between the floor and Ren. In that millisecond, Ren somehow turned us so it was he who was squished in between the wall and I was on top.

Everything fell silent as we looked into eachother's eyes. His arms were wrapped around my body, he had them around me when he was turning me while we were oh so gracefully falling down.

All too quickly he grunted, ending the silence, and pulled us both up.

He let go of me after making susre I was steady and turned all his anger to Alyssa.

"YOU. made. me. FALL. on BELLAAA!" He lunged at Alyssa.

"Stop." Raven said. She walked right in between them and put on hand on Ren's chest, and the other hand on Alyssa's chest, preventing what was about to happen.

Ren ignored her and shoved her hand away. He glanced over to the side table. He stared at the big, beautiful vase and smirked.

Alyssa gasped as Ren ran over to the vase and lifted it up.

"Don't. You. Dare!! That's. My favorite!" Alyssa shrieked.

"BE reasonable, then. Think about what's best for Bella!" Ren countered.

"No."

Ren's eyes flared before he held up the vase and smashed it into the ground, pieces shattering everywhere.

I felt a few shards bounce off my leg, but luckily I was wearing jeans so none of them punctured me.

Alyssa screamed before lunging at Ren, throwing him down on the floor. He jerked up and the fist fight began.

Raven sighed and looked at me.

John was steaming, but he stayed where he was on the couch.

Raven was instantly by my side, pulling me out of the mad-house and into the day.

"They do this all the time. They secretly care for each other, but they never show it." Raven said tiredly.

"It's for the best!" I said.

"I know, I know. Just give them some time. When the fighting stops, I will talk to Alyssa. Don't worry. For the mean time, stay out here. They wouldn't want you getting hurt because of their childish and immature fights." She smiled reassuringly before walking back inside the house, closing the door softly behind her.

Leaving me standing there, all alone and very confused.

End Flashback

I still heard arguing and fighting. This was enough.

I stood up and stifly walked to the door.

I placed one hand on the doorknob and froze.

I sighed, I had to do this.

Deep breaths Bella.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

Okay, Let's do this.

I turned the doorknob, and walked in.

Into the middle of the brutal war.

That was when it happened.

SMASH!!!

I'm reallyy sorry for these cliffy's!! I promise this time, I will update quickly and the internet won't crash AGAIN!

So, don't worry if you are very confused in what just happened b/w Alyssa and Ren. You're supposed to be confused.

If Bella is utterly confused, so are you all!

It will ALL be explained eventually in the next few chapters.

Another thing you should remember is the part when Alyssa says "I will not allow you to change her!" Don't forget that part!!

Lastly, remember the part when John asks Alyssa if she has met Edward and Alyssa quickly waves off the question and changes the subject.

This chapter is a very crucial chapter which is why I stopped it where I did. If I made it any longer, You wouldn't pay very close attention to those crucial details.
