Sooo sorry about the long wait on my stories. My computer tower decided it didn't want to work anymore and I had to go out and get a whole new one. So all of my stories and chapters I had done are fucking gone! *pouts* Yeah, I can't believe the shit either! I just looked at it for five minutes and then shouted, "You have got to be kidding me!"

I also wanted to thank the people who asked if I was okay. Just wanted to say I'm fine! RL is not bad, I have just been super busy with things and it was hard to finish chapters or post them. Also, someone asked why I write if I'm so busy. I write because I like to get my idea's out there, you know? I like to hear that people like my ideas and shit like that. *shrugs*

Anyway! Enjoy Chapter 14!

SM owns everything Twilight.

Bella giggled as Edward dodged and weaved through the forest, narrowly missing a couple of them and smiling when he heard Bella's squeals of laughter. The family except Rosalie, watched with amused smiles as the couple raced ahead of them. It was nice that Alice, Edward, Emmett and Bella could forget everything that happened earlier that evening. Alice, although had been a little panic attack, but quickly masked it from everyone. Her visions shoes that there was a small coven of three traveling through and she had been nervous that they would have caught up with them. Something about the group did not sit right with Alice and she was constantly checking their future. So far, plans were not made, so she saw them leaving the area in peace.

The family finally made it to the open field and Carlisle and Jasper quickly dig up the bases. Edward let Bella slide down his back and barely held back his groan of pleasure. He looked over his shoulder and shot her a playful glare.

"Watch it, Minx!" He growled lightly. Bella just giggled and leaned up to kiss his lips lightly. She walked her way over to Alice as she made up the teams. Bella tried to hide her distaste as Alice placed Rosalie with Carlisle and Alice, but thankfully squashed it down. Alice knew Emmett did not want Rosalie anywhere near him so she had placed him on the team with Edward, Bella and himself. The other team was Jasper, Alice, Carlisle, Rosalie. Since the teams were uneven, they had players in Alice's team alternate.

"Alright!" Jasper yelled, clapping his hands together once. "Who's ready to play some ball?" He pushed out small doses of excitement to everyone to get them worked up. There was a cheer from Emmett his team made their way to the field. Alice quickly checked her vision to make sure that the thunder would disguise the noise.

They had the game going for almost an hour before Alice stopped, freezing up. She let out a shocked gasp as three of the nomads decided to come see what the noise was all about. Edward quickly ran to Bella and placed himself in front of her in a protective stance. The rest did the same except for Emmett and Rosalie who were watching their own backs.

"What's the matter, Alice?" Carlisle asked as he watched the woods. Alice just stood there, trying to find ways to escape from meeting these nomads, but gave up when none of the plans worked.

"There are nomads coming, three of them," Alice paused before flicking her eyes to Bella before looking back to the woods. "They were just passing through, but then they heard our game and were curious." She finished. Everyone tensed and waited on bated breath as they watched the three unknown visitors break through the trees.

Bella sucked in a sharp gasp as she caught sight of one of the nomad's making their way over to them. Edward shot her a confused look and tried to get into her head, but so many things were rushing through her memories that he could not settle on one before another quickly replaced it. A feral sound escaped from her chest and the Cullen's, but Edward, fought the urge to take a step back. Bella's chest rise then fall harshly as her eyes bore on one of the men. Edward did not find him a threat as her emotions through their bond alerted him of so much hatred and anger he couldn't stop the growl from escaping.

The nomads took one more step before standing in front of the vampires with the odd color eyes. Victoria's head was coming up with ways of the three escaping if need be, and Laurent was posing as the leader of the group and James, well James was the only one out of his coven that had a heartbeat, and Bella recognized him right away. His eyes gazed at the seven vampires, stopping on the beauty by the one with the bronze hair. He grinned sardonically and took a tiny step forward. Victoria, the red head, followed his movement and eyesight and narrowed her eyes in jealousy.

"Isabella," James purred. His animal in him purring right along with him as her scent fanned to him. Bella stared back at James with so much hate; she would make Lucifer himself flinch.

"James," She sneered back. "I've been waiting a long time to see that ugly face of yours. Tell me, where have you been hiding," Bella asked, taking a step forward. James tried to hide his fear; he had always wanted Bella for himself. Not only did she have beauty, but also her powers were magnificent. James grabbed his chest in mock hurt.

"You wound me so, Beautiful Isabella!" He pouted. "I have been here and there. Tell me, little one, where have you been," He smirked. Edward placed himself behind his mate, making sure his senses were in tune just in case it came down to a fight.

"I have been spending my time looking for your sadistic self! Did you really think that I would just let go what you did? That I would forget about all those years ago?" Bella growled, her eyes changing from green to her animal's ice blue.

"What is she talking about, Jamie?" Came Victoria's childlike voice. All except her coven and Bella looked at her in surprise. There was no denying the jealously that dripped with her words.

"Oh?" Bella asked looking at the red head. "Jamie here didn't tell you about his history?" Bella asked, widening her eyes in innocents. Victoria narrowed her eyes before shaking her head "no". Bella smirked at James before looking back at her.

"You see, James's here and I go way back," Bella rolled her eyes. "He was one of the men who wanted to court me back then. No matter how many times my father shot him down, his stupid ass still came back to beg," Bella laughed as she started to circle James. Bella's tact for keeping them oblivious to this point was shocking. "Do you know what he is?" Bella asked with a tilt of her head. Victoria nodded her head.

"He is a wearcat as well as my mate!" She snapped. "So don't think you can try to win my Jamie back!" Victoria snarled. Bella threw her head back and laughed.

"Oh trust me, sweetheart," Bella sneered. "I want nothing to do with that pathetic excuse for a man!" She yelled. "When my parents wouldn't let him court me, he waited until I was gone to go and kill them. You see, Sweetie," Bella growled as she closed in on James. "I have spent half my time searching for your James." Bella looked at him with distaste. "Tell me, James," Bella cooed. "Would you still like to have me?" She fluttered her eyelashes at him sticking out her chest just slightly. Edward could not hold back the possessive growl that he let forth. No matter if, it was a trap of not, he did not like his mate offering herself to another. James eyes darkened and he nodded his head and licked his lips.

"James!" Victoria cried as she watched her supposed mate want another. "You are mine!" She snarled and tried to come to him, but the dark skinned one in their coven stopped her.

"Seems your little pet is upset with you, James." Bella grinned and rounded him.

"She will live. I have grown tired of her anyway. My dear sweet, Isabella. Do you know that I have been searching for you as well? It was such a pity that your parents always told me no. You and I both know that I despise the word!" He said scrunching his face up. "When your father told me no the last time, well I had to show you and your mother what happened to people who told me no. Of course, your mother provoked the animal in me and I showed her no mercy as well. It was a pity, really. She was almost as beautiful as you." Bella roared in anger, quickly phasing, James following her. Edward was on high alert as his mate prepared for her revenge she had been so long searching for. He would not step in, and he noted how his family captured the other two.

"You are done for, James. I will take great pleasure in tearing you apart like you did to my parents." Bella whispered in a deadly tone through her connection to James.

"I would love to see you try. An when you fail, which you will, you will submit to me and stand by my side." He purred. Bella did not answer him, just lunged at him. She clipped his back leg and was satisfied as James let out a yelp. James snarled in anger and quickly shot forward, but was knocked back as Bella's tail swung around forcibly, sending James flying back. They both went back and forth, Edward in a crouch position just in case his mate needed him. Victoria was struggling in Jaspers grip, but he wouldn't relent. His title as god of war wasn't for nothing. Finally what seemed like ages Bella had James on his back and her teeth at his throat.

"You never had or ever will have me, James." Bella spat as she tore into his neck, her animal calling on blood lust. Revenge had never felt so sweet. She shook her head and spat out a good chunk of his throat out at Victoria's feet who screeched in anger.

"James!" She snarled still fighting. Bella quickly snapped his neck and took a step back. Her coat was matted with blood and mud, but she couldn't really care at the moment. Edward quickly yanked his tank top off and had it ready so Bella could phase back. The tank top stopped just shy of her knees. Bella watched as James shifted back to his human form, his blank eyes looking right into Victoria's fire one's.

"He had what was coming to him," Bella said, not taking her eyes of James' body. "He knew I was out for blood, he was just good at hiding from me." Bella grinned, her lips and mouth covered with his blood. "You are a fool if you think he was your mate! He's been after me since I was of age, child!" Bella shook her head.

"Lies! All lies! He was mine, my mate!" Victoria struggled more.

"Let her go, Jasper," Bella said her eyes still on her. Japer's eyes widened at the command but did as she asked. Victoria snarled and crouched down, her black eyes burning into Bella's.

"I will get you for this!" She hissed. "Watch your back," With that, she was gone. Bella turned to the member left of the coven. He held his hands up in peace.

"I do not want to be in with watch she is planning," He said, his French accent thick with tension. "Be aware, though," He paused and looked at the clan. "Victoria is deadly, very vindictive and for what you just did to her mate, or whatever they were to each other, I have no doubt that she will plan something ruthless," He said looking at Bella. She narrowed hers and nodded.

"He knew his time was up when he spotted me. I've been looking for him for a century." Bella said as she took Edward's hand in hers.

"Is he telling the truth? Bella asked him mentally. "Will he not get involved?" Edward tilted his head, looked at the dark vampire, and shook his head slightly.

"No, love. He wants nothing to do with her anymore. He was only with them because they were a deadly pair." Bella squeezed his head in thanks.

Laurent asked Carlisle about their diet and was intrigued at the thought of feeding from animals instead of humans. He sent the lone vampire up to the Denali clan, quickly sending them a text as the vampire took off.

What the Cullen's failed to notice at the time was Rosalie's small smirk and the glint in her eye as she took off seconds after Victoria did.
