Hey Everyone!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Oh man! Bella is in deep shit now.
REALLY deep shit.
Review Answers, anyone?
Freedomforme – Remember in the books how Bella thought that Edward was such a God? How he could do no wrong? Well, I took that concept and used it against Edward, in order to show that Bella is capable of harming him, which is not the Bella he wants. And what could be more wrong than the Seven Deadly Sins?
Brighteyes343 – Yes, he is aware that they did come back to town (Chapter 21 "First Date"), but he wasn't informed that the Cullens would be back in school. Heck, Bella only found out because of Jessica.
Goldengirl62 – I understand where you're coming from, and I really do like you're point of views on Edward. When I read the book, all I could think was, "He's pale." And since me, being the Arab I am, cannot deal with pale men ;)
Enjoy!
P.S. I don't own anything Twilight. (Which excludes Faith).

'The best laid plans of mice and men often go astray'
That's what they say about the best laid plans.
"Bella! What the hell were you doing with the Cullens?!"
How was I supposed to tell Jacob the truth? I couldn't lie to him when the evidence was clear enough to see. Or smell, actually. Why did I have to hug Edward?! If I hadn't hugged Edward, there would be no trace of him on me. I would have been hugging Jacob instead, telling him about Victoria. But instead I looked into the eyes of three very pissed off werewolves.
"Bella, we're waiting." Embry said.
I stuttered, "They- were at- the school."
Jacob roared with anger, "What?!"
I swallowed the stutters, "The dinner they had at Port Angeles was to get back into the school."
Jacob had his hand on his head, "I don't believe this."
Paul's jaw tightened, "Those stupid blood- Cullens think they can get away with sneaking into the school!"
Angela mumbled, "Well...they didn't really sneak in."
"What was that, Angela?" Embry asked her.
Thanks Angela. You just dug us a deeper hole.
"Nothing!"
Paul's eyebrows rose, "Angela..."
She sighed in defeat, "We knew the Cullens would be at the school."
Jacob yelled, "And you didn't think that it would be appropriate to tell us?!"
I spoke in a small voice, "No, Jake. We just came up with a plan-"
"A plan? A PLAN?! Bella, these are dangerous beings. You honestly thought you could fight them with a plan?!"
My voice got a bit higher, "We didn't want to fight them Jake! We kept our distance!"
"No you fucking didn't Bella! I can smell them on you!"
"Jake, I only did this to get Edward off my back!"
He shook violently, "You put yourself in the worst danger possible, without me knowing or protecting you...all to get a psychopathic vampire who wants you off your back?! His scent is on you! You practically hugged him!"
I bit my lip.
He gasped in such anger it was frightening, "YOU HUGGED HIM?!"
I snapped at him, "He has feelings too, Jake! I'm not the type of person to give the cold shoulder to! You know me!"
He was taking in rage-full breaths, trying to calm down, "I don't think I do."
Ouch.
Paul moved his head, "And you dragged Faith into this Bella! You pulled her out of school so that you could play your little revenge game on Edward! Didn't you think Bella that I was going to be worried sick?! I thought the redhead leech took her!"
Embry put a hand on his chest, "Paul, watch what you say. She still doesn't know."
Angela rubbed the back of her neck, "Actually-"
"Angela, shut the fuck up!" I screamed.
Paul's eyes became slits, "What do you mean, 'actually'?"
Angela continued, "Well, I kind of spilled the beans yesterday-"
"So you knew." Paul said towards Faith, who was silent through this whole conversation.
He walked closer to her, "You knew what you were getting into."
He was just inches away from her face, "You, voluntarily, walked into a room full of vampires!"
Faith screamed at the top of her little lungs, "I did this for Bella! She asked me to help, and I did!"
"And you didn't think of the consequences, Faith?! They could have killed you!"
"But they didn't! You have to stop treating me like I can easily break Paul!"
"YOU CAN EASILY BREAK, FAITH!" He bellowed in anger, shaking hard.
Embry pulled him away from Faith.
Faith got defensive, "I'm stronger than you think, Paul! I'm way stronger than you think!"
She clasped her hand in mine, and she did the same with Angela.
"We're stronger than you think!"
Jacob shook his head, "No. You guys aren't strong. Not as strong as us."
Angela rolled her eyes, "We're strong enough to face Victoria without her harming us. It's not that hard."
They all looked at her in shock. I looked at her with anger.
Angela has developed a big mouth.
Jacob shook, "You...faced...Victoria?!"
No, not now. Please Angela. Do NOT tell him about Port Angeles!
Mercifully, she kept her mouth shut.
Embry walked up to her, "Angela. Tell us now."
She took a deep breath with anger, "Bella and I were at Port Angeles. She crashed my Fortwo, I mean, Victoria did. She wanted to kill me, but Bella told her that we were the imprints of werewolves."
Faith's eyebrows furrowed at the imprint part. Oh, that's right. She still didn't know the whole thing.
Embry shut his eyes in pain. Jake looked like he was ready to rip out his hair.
"How could you..." He whispered to me.
"How could you tell her our only weakness?! How could you, Bella?!"
I yelled back, "I didn't know Jacob! I was trying to save Angela!"
"That's our jobs, Isabella!"
I flinched at my name.
A howl came from the forest.
He shook his head, "Speaking of jobs, we've got to get back."
Which reminded me, "Jake, not yet."
"So now you want to tell me everything?!"
"Jake, just hear me out-"
"No Isabella."
Faith cut in, "Just listen!"
Paul put his hand up, "We've heard enough!"
Angela huffed, "Could you guys stop being dicks and open your ears!"
Embry looked at her, "Oh, so we're the bad guys now?"
I screamed, "Yes! Because we need you guys!"
Jake came up to me, in my face, "Really?! You need us?! Well you didn't need us to deal with Edward, so whatever the fuck it is Bella, you don't need our help."
"Yes we do, Jake! If you would just listen!"
He shook his head, "Go back to your beloved leech, you liar."
I huffed, "How could you Jake?! I need you!"
He snorted, "I don't care."
Those words broke my heart.
I thought he did care. After trying to prove to me for so long that he cared, those three little words undid everything he built. In the back of my head, I knew it was the anger talking. Jacob would absolutely never speak to me like this. Never in a million years.
If I was the old Bella, I would have cried like I did when he first said he didn't care.
But now, I got extremely angry.
Every time I try to remember that moment, it escapes my mind every time.
The only thing I could remember, and always will, was the outrageous stinging in my hand.
And the impression of my hand on Jake's face.
My mouth opened in shock. I wanted to take back that moment, realizing what I have done. I slapped Jacob. My Jacob. My Jake. My wolf. My lover.
And now, my fighter.
"Jake, I'm sor-"
"Save it for someone who gives a shit."
More pieces of my heart began to fall.
He stalked off into the forest, with Paul and Jared trailing behind him.
We didn't know what to say. I didn't know what to say.
We all silently got into the car.
My heart felt like it was abandoned. We didn't do anything wrong! I mean, sure it was our plan to face the Cullens, but it was the Cullens who decided to get involved with us. So we had to fight back. So really, did I do anything wrong?Yes. Yes I did. Angela and I kept this secret from the pack. We kept a key point away from their search for Victoria, which might have helped them, which might have stopped this vampire attack. Which we wouldn't have to fight with the boys. Which means, I wouldn't have to have my heart hurt.
Oh yea, and I smacked my boyfriend that I love so much across the face.
Welcome to heartbreak again, Bella. This time, it's your fault.
We pulled into Faith's driveway, with no one home.
The engine died, and we all squirmed out of the car, into Faith's house.
We silently got into Faith's room. I sat on the bed, while Angela sat on the computer chair. Faith was leaning against the wall, with arms crossed.
Angela shook her head, "I can't believe we lost our boyfriends."
Faith raised an eyebrow, "I can't believe how big your mouth is."
Angela stood up, "What did you say?"
Faith rolled her eyes as she pushed herself off of the wall, "If you didn't open that big hole you have, I would have still had my boyfriend."
Angela pushed Faith, "If you didn't fight back with Paul, we wouldn't be in deep shit right now!"
Faith threw her jacket off, "Shut your fucking mouth!"
They were starting to fight, so I put myself between them.
"Hey! Both of you relax! This is our fault! Don't put the blame on one person. We are all to blame!"
They hung their heads in shame. Unwanted Dr. Seuss moment.
Faith raised her head, "Sorry Angie."
Angela sighed, "It's okay. We're just mad. And...I kind of do have a fucking big ass mouth."
They gave each other a quick hug as they laughed together.
My phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Bella! Jesus, where the hell are you?"
I tried to make out the voice, "Jess?"
"Bella? Oh, Bella!"
The words she said sounded familiar, like I was having déjà vu.
"Bell-"she said, before an ear-piercing scream came from the other line.
Even Angela and Faith heard it.
"Jess!"
The phone fumbled a bit, and another voice was heard.
"Jessica looks appetizing, my dear."
Victoria.
"Victoria, don't you dare-"
"So if you'd want to see the show, I suggest you get your scrawny little ass down to her home."
The line went dead.
I looked at Angela, with fear in my eyes.
"Victoria's got Jess."
Angela gasped, "No! She couldn't!"
Faith looked truly sad.
Angela shook her head, "You need to get down there. Who knows how long Jess has!"
I shook my own head, "I can't guys! Didn't you remember what Victoria said?! 'Riley will see you soon'. I can't leave you two alone!"
Faith pulled out her phone, "Call the guys. We need them."
Angela pulled out her phone as well, as I was dialing Jake's number.
Five rings, and then went to voicemail.
I tried again. Only this time it was three rings, and then voicemail.
One more time, I thought. I called again, but it went straight to voicemail.
I huffed, "Now's not the time to ignore me, Jake!"
Angela snapped her phone shut, "You too?"
"Yea."
Faith let out an exasperated sigh, "They know we're calling, too!"
My phone vibrated in my hand.
Jake!
I answered the phone without looking at caller ID, "Jake?!"
"No...Richard. I need your help. I'm kind of lost in...La Push."
Oh, bless the Lords!
"Richard, where are you?!"
"Uhm," he said slowly, "I'm by this big house. It looks like its old, but it's got a dark blue Dodge Charger in the front. Oh, and a sweet Ferrari."
Double bless the Lords!
I hung up the phone and ran downstairs, opening the door. Low and behold, it was Richard at the front of the house, with his left hand in his right, clenching it hard.
He laughed, "Damn! You pop out of nowhere, Cruella!"
I spoke fast, "Richard! Do you think you can stay with my friends for a little while, while I go...run to do an errand? I don't want them staying alone."
Richard seemed optimistic about this, and for that I was grateful, "Sure, sure! Just be back soon, 'kay?"
He added a wink.
Faith threw me a set of keys, "It's for the Ferrari."
I nodded as I made my way to the Ferrari. I got into the driver's seat quickly, and zoomed out of there.
I looked back to the scene behind me. The last picture was Angela with amazed eyes, looking at something in Richard's hand.
I zoomed past stores faster than I should be driving. But Jessica needed me. Oh, she sounded so scared on the phone. Well, not at first, she sounded annoyed, like she was looking for me. She awfully sounded exactly like this one video Angela had of her, looking for me on Halloween, but she screamed at the fact that Mike popped out of nowhere and spooked her.
There was a click in my brain as I stomped on the brakes.
It sounded like the video, because it was the video.
Victoria was trying to lure me into Jessica's home. Like what James did with the ballet studio.
I huffed and relaxed. That was a close one.
Maybe Victoria was luring me so that this 'Riley' could get a hold of me in Jess' home. I sighed as I turned back to Faith's house. I'm sure Richard wouldn't mind spending the day with us-
Richard. Riley.
Why did I see a connection between them?
My eyes widened.
Richard had eyes with hints of red in them. Back when I knew him, he never had red hints in his eyes. Sure he was albino, but lately, he was just paler. Faith kept on muttering something about a 'finer', but really, she was saying...'diner'. And Angela...wasn't look at something in Richard's hand...but what was on his hand! I knew I saw that star birthmark before! Faith saw that Richard's eyes were the same as Victoria's! The manager of the dinner never called Richard by his name! He called him 'Rils' which is short form for Riley!
Shit!
Richard is Riley!
Richard is a vampire!
Richard is in the house with Angela and Faith!
And no one's going to save them!
No one.
...but me?
