Tristan's POV

What the hell has Willa gotten me into? The truth is Willa could tell me to go get the finest silks from Asia and I'd get them for her. She's my cousin and I love her to death, but setting up a meeting between the Cullen's and the La Push shape shifters seemed near impossible. I could talk to the heads of each group individually, and tell them the truth. Only the Cullen's would know why it's so important that Felix leaves Forks.

Felix

That name sure brings back memories.

Flashbacks

I can remember every tear filled phone call and every desperate plea for help in her voice but, of course Willa doesn't listen or need help from me or anyone else. It was I who convinced my family to move from Houston to Forks because I didn't want to expose Moira or my little brothers to vampires. Moira was never one to listen to me either she found trouble the moment she set her eyes on James. He had introduced himself to her as James Leigh and I knew something was up; that was Willa's fake last name when she was adopted. He knew that Moira was Willa's cousin but he didn't let that on at the time and that unnerved me to no end. I had no idea what this vampire was doing hanging around my little sister and I was about ready to rip him limb from limb.

At the time I couldn't figure out why Moira would get mad at me when I said that Willa's relationship problems were her own fault; we'd fuss and cuss for hours about it. "You don't understand Tristan so stay the hell out of her business! If she wants to tell you than she will until then FUCK OFF!" Moira never swears that loud in front of the kids. I should have known then that there was trouble. And when Moira suggested that she was going to go to Willa's birthday party the following weekend with James I was so pissed at her for even thinking it would be ok with me. But once again Moira never listens to me and I had to endure some bad looks from her in the car with mom and dad. James decided that he'd follow us on his Harley. It was a cloudy day but it had not rained, so it was good for the party. As soon as Moira saw Willa she grabbed James and headed towards her. It was then that I noticed something very off about Willa because Willa was never one to EVER look off. She had bags under her eyes and looked just awful; it was then that I knew something big was wrong with my cousin.

I decided to do some research, I had spent months talking to some of Willa's friends to find out what was wrong but it seemed that Willa's life is a mystery to all. Then I decided to call Gideon my watcher who was so mad that I called him during his vacation away from me.

"Maybe she came across something and had her first slaying; it's probably nothing to worry about. Remember you're first kill…it left you sleep deprived for months."

Gideon gladly rubbed that in my face. Something was telling me she had no idea about being a slayer in the first place. I decided that I would wait it out for one week and then I'd snoop into her personal life. It didn't take a week because Willa called me a few days later wanting to know why I lied to her about well…everything.

"What should I do Tristan? There is so much that I have to tell you but there is just so much that you don't know about me. I want to know if I should trust James or not the most." She said in a sad voice. JAMES?!?! What the hell did he have to do with Willa?

I soon found myself at Willa's apartment, apparently James turned out to be Willa's watcher and he was sent to train her. Well I found it just VERY odd that a vampire would train a slayer I mean come on he's a freaking vampire. We're their death sentence in many ways. I thought he had to be lying but when he told me how he came back I had to believe him.

"Look just give me a chance to explain why I know what I know ok! James yelled. "I was the head of my coven and I fed in another coven's territory. I went after another vampire's mate and was killed for it. Back then I lived for the chase…the thrill of the hunt was all that mattered. As I met oblivion I heard a voice call out to me. It gave me a choice between endless darkness and a chance at redemption. Well you can obviously see which I chose. The voice told me I had to find this girl who would need my help but to help her I would have to be eloquent in the history of slayers and how they should be properly trained. This girl will be the greatest slayer to ever live since Gabriel and that is how her family shall know that I speak the truth." James explained knowingly.

Wait a minute he couldn't be talking about THE Gabriel as in Gabriel Van Helsing. The legendary slayer who took down Draculahimself, this was like something out of a dream or nightmare. Well I finally figured out why he was around and my cousin did need training. I demanded that Willa tell me all that had happened to her before she met James. Man was I royally pissed! I wanted to find that Volturi guard member and kick his ass. Worst of all I was equally mad at myself for not caring enough to try and save Willa. If I knew of what Felix had done to her, I would have done my best to protect her. But I still was not cool with James being around and especially when Willa decided to date him and then call it off. Then she suddenly gets this brilliant idea to go backpacking with him later. That conversation didn't go too well and her parent's spoiled her rotten to begin with so of course she wouldn't get any grief from them. They were just so blissfully ignorant to their daughter's new lifestyle.

"What do you mean I'm too young to travel the world, I'm only a year younger than you Tristan! Stop treating me like I'm a child!" Willa yelled in frustration. "Willa you can't go out on you're own just because you think that you're ready to." I yelled trying to talk some sense into her. "I won't be alone, I have James!" "Oh that's really rich coming from you Will! Of course you can bring your leech boy toy with you!" I screamed back at her. "Stop treating him like he's some type of pet, it's not like I can return him and get a refund." Willa screamed back at me while packing her suitcase. "Well I'm sorry if I'm a little worried that my kid cousin decides out of the blue that it's ok to travel the world slaying vampires when you are with one. Talk about dating your work Will you sure did a bang up job with that. What did you tell lover boy when you decided to be "just friends"? Did you break his nonexistent heart to little pieces? Did you let him down gently? Or are two just friends with "benefits"?" I said to her sarcastically. She then punched me hard in the face and said "At least James was there. At least he was there when I needed him!" And she breezed out of the apartment and down the stairs and into her truck.

End of Flashbacks

I did have the tendency to overreact back then but I've since learned to keep my cool when it comes to the women in my life. I can't say that I regret letting her waltz right out the door even though that's what I did because Willa came back a grown woman. She's changed and I couldn't be happier for her. I have a tremendous respect for James now because he let her loose and let her discover herself and the slayer that she was meant to become. That's why I will do anything to stop Felix from coming back into her life.

I found myself picking up the phone and calling James. How was I gonna tell him that Felix was back and trying to ruin Willa's life again? I dialed his number and waited for him to pick up.

"Hello?" James smooth voice answered.

"James! It's Tristan, how are things?" I tried not to sound troubled by recent events.

"What's wrong Tristan, you don't call unless there's trouble…is Willa in trouble?" He asked calmly. Oh if he only knew the half of it.

"Willa's fine for now but… Felix is here in Forks and I bet he wants her back." I replied

"WHAT?" All calm long gone and yelling over the phone.

"Yeah I know it's BAD but don't get you're knickers in a twist. I need you to get up here and meet me in the woods. I want you to hide in the marked tree and wait until I give you the signal to come down."

"I don't know if I should go up there. I didn't exactly leave Forks on good terms Tristan."

"That would be an understatement my undead friend!" I loved to piss him off.

"Shut up you cocky bastard! Fine I coming up there and I'm kicking Felix's ass!" His cool was officially back.

I got into my car and tried to locate the Cullen mansion. Well it wasn't easy but I finally stumbled across this huge house with wide windows. I parked in their driveway and headed towards the front door but I didn't get the chance to knock because Rosalie opened the door before I could. "Is there something wrong?" She asked worried. By that she meant is there something wrong with Willa? "No I just need to talk to Dr. Cullen. Is he around here? It's really important that I talk to him right now." I tried to remain calm so Jasper or Edward couldn't pick anything up. "He's in his study" She replied. Rosalie led me up the stairs and to a door that I assumed was Dr. Cullens study. "Are you sure that there is nothing wrong?" Again she repeated worried. "You will find out later." Calm is all I need to be right now. I knocked and opened the door to his study and found it to be very clean and in order. I then sat down in front of his desk and waited for him to stop writing his notes.

"Hello! I don't believe that we've met I'm Carlisle." Whoa he's a happy camper. "Hi I'm Tristan and it's nice to finally meet you Dr. Cullen. I wish it were on better circumstances though. I'm gonna be honest with you Doc we all have a big problem on our hands. And when I mean we, I mean the supernatural neighborhood around Forks. You are aware of the Volturi guard, well one of its members has become a bit of a problem you see and I'm gonna need you're coven's assistance."

"Please call me Carlisle. And yes I know the guard of which you speak but I don't see the problem." He said nonchalantly. "Oh there is a big problem because not only is my family in danger, yours is too. I'm sure the Volturi is gonna find this treaty that you have with the wolves very fascinating and I'm just so sure that they will leave and go on their merry way." I said sarcastically. "Well that is a problem that we should discuss with the wolves. Should we arrange a meeting?" He said a little worried.

"Yes. I'm sure that you can explain to the wolves the importance of what we are dealing with. And as for the meeting place, it's at the tree that I marked as a no hunting ground," I replied coolly. "No hunting?" "Yes! A no human hunting zone if you will. Well I'll leave you to contact the wolves and I'll see you tonight. It was nice meeting you." With that I strolled out of his study and down the stairs approaching my car. Then I sensed that someone was watching me, I turned around and there stood Emmett eyeballing me. "Look you will have to find out everything tonight just like everybody else. Deal with it ok." And then I got into my car and drove off towards my house to tell Moira not to wait up for Willa and I.
