This is mostly a filler chapter but I promise the next one is going to be a lot more exciting.

Edward

"Aro." I said.

"You have something of mine, I would like it back."

"You would have to kill me."

Aro chuckled. "That's the plan."

Aro hung up and he threw his phone at the wall in frustration.

"What does he want?"

"I can't tell you, not here."

"Well is it a person or an item?"

"Both. He needs the person to find the item."

"Who is the person?"

I hesitated. "Me. He needs me."

"You?" Bella gasped.

"Yeah that's why you are to be under my protection at all times. He'll use you for leverage."

I grabbed my phone which was thankfully not broken.

"You can call your father if you want."

Bella took the phone from me. "Thanks."

She typed in her father's number and put the phone to her ear.

"Hey Dad. Yeah I'm fine. Me and Alice planned a last minute sleepover. Yeah sorry but you know she doesn't take no for an answer. Yeah I'll see you tomorrow. Bye, love you Dad."

Bella hung up and gave me the phone.

"Friendly personnel, First Lieutenant Kayla Hunter." the computer said. "And Second Lieutenant Nathan Hunter, accompanied by Sergeant Major Ethan Hunter."

"Bring them in." I said.

The door opened and the Hunter's stepped in.

"Hey we have the all clear, but Bella needs to be either here or at your house."

"Keep her here. My defense system needs some tinkering still."

"Alright."

I looked to Bella. "Need me to get something?"

"No I'm good. Be careful."

I smiled. "Of course."

I grabbed my stuff and walked past the Hunters. I made my way to the car and drove back towards home. Once there I went into the basement and Collin was there tinkering with the security system.

"Hey man, give me a hand will you?"

"Sure thing." I said.

We spent all night trying to fix the system and install guns and sensors around the house.

"So the Major gave us something from his private stock." Collin said. "These sensors when thrown emit a small invisible pulse that can show you where the enemy is hiding. Even behind cover."

"Nice but how do we see it?'

"These headphones," Collin said. "They have something like sunglasses attached to them so you can see the pulse. It's also like a mini computer."

"Distance?"

"Goes for a whole football field. But you can only see it if you're on ground support not sniper duty."

"Alright well this will definitely help. I'll put one in the forest in front of the house.

"Good idea. Get Brady to go with you." Collin said.

After getting Brady we went into the forest and I placed a sensor in a tree trunk.

"Getting a reading?" I asked into my comm.

"Oh yeah I am. You have no enemies in the area so get back into the house." Collin replied.

The sun was coming over the horizon when we walked back into the house and I felt exhausted.

"I'm going to crash. Catch you guys later." Collin said.

"I'm going to bed too." Brady said.

"See ya." I said.

I sat on the couch and went through the channels on the flat screen not knowing what to watch.

"What are you doing up so early?" Carlisle asked.

"Was working on the system all night with Collin and Brady."

"You should get some sleep."

"No, knowing Alice she wants to take us shopping today."

"True."

"So what are you doing up this early?"

"The hospital called. Some guy was drunk and swung an axe that took off a guy's hand last night."

"Ouch." I said rubbing my wrists.

"Yeah, I'll see you later Edward."

"Bye Dad." I said.

Carlisle grabbed his suitcase and jacket and went into the garage. I watched his Mercedes disappear down the road and shut off the TV.

"Hey man." Emmett said.

"Oh hey." I said.

Emmett went straight into the kitchen and started to pull out food. I got up and went back to the basement and started to put in codes and passwords in it.

"Hey Edward!" Emmett called.

"What?!" I yelled.

"Someone's at the door."

I stopped what I was doing and made my way to the door. I opened it and saw a man in uniform with a huge package behind him.

"Are you Captain Edward Cullen?"

"I am."

"This is from the General of the Marines. Please sign it off here."

He handed me a clipboard and I signed my name quickly.

"It's all yours." the man said.

The man got back into his truck and drove off. The box was a little bit taller than me and it had thick tape around it.

"Emmett come help me with this!" I said.

Emmett came and helped me get the package inside the house. But the thing was heavier than a car. My muscles strained to keep it up. Seth and Jasper came down stairs and helped me get it into the living room.

"What do you think it is?" Emmett panted.

"Only one way to find out." Jasper said.

Jasper got a Swiss Army knife from the kitchen and ripped the tape off of the box. Me and Seth ripped the cardboard off and we found a huge metal box with the Marine symbol on it.

"Alright, now let me get a crowbar." Jasper said.

"No I don't think we need one." I said.

I found the lever on the side of the metal box and pulled it open. Inside was a suit of some sorts with forest camo and a very heavy instruction manual.

"What's it called?"

"Just a bunch of numbers and letters." Emmett said tossing the manual back in the box.

"Why do you think he sent it to you Edward?"

"I'll have to ask."

"Well either way, I definitely want to give it a go."

"What is this? Transformers? Iron Man?" Seth said.

"It's a full body armor suit. I guess they took a tip from sci-fi movies." Emmett laughed.

"Well let's try it on." Jasper said.

"Oh no," Alice said. "We are going shopping. Not messing around with your new suit."

"I agree." Rosalie said.

"Oh come on! Look how cool it is!" Jasper said.

"I don't care! We are going shopping today, so unless you want me to take away your precious suit I suggest you go get ready!"

We groaned.

"Dude your girlfriend is such buzzkill." Emmett whispered to Jasper.

"Yeah I know, but you can't separate her from her shopping."

"Well great we have to go shopping with Alice. I'm so excited." Seth said with fake enthusiasm.

After he took a shower the doorbell rang and he rushed downstairs in just his towel. He opened the door and saw Bella standing there.

"Oh um hey Bella." I said.

"Hey, Alice is dragging you too?"

"Yeah we have no choice. Come in they are still getting ready." I said.

"Thanks." Bella said.

Bella walked in and she looked at the suit in the box.

"Um what is that?"

"No idea. General sent it for me."

"Cool."

"I'm going to-" i said pointing back upstairs.

"Oh yeah go ahead." she said.

I smiled and went back upstairs and quickly put on my clothes almost tripping as I stumbled out the door. I quickly combed my hair and grabbed my wallet. I went back downstairs and Seth, Emmett and Jasper were scrambling to move the huge mech suit. I ran to help and we managed to bring it into the basement.

"Alright let's get this day over with, I'm dying to get some more sleep." Emmett said.

"Couldn't say it better, Collin and Brady are lucky they stayed up for two days straight."
"Yeah."

"Are you guys coming or what?" Alice said.

"Yeah we're coming." I said.
