I'm so sorry I haven't updated the past few weeks. August is a rather crazy month for me with school starting, both Texas State and my school that I work at. On top of that, my sister and my wonderful cousin (who is like the big sister I never got) have their birthdays in August and it was my parents 25th anniversary and I planned a surprise party for them. Updates should be more scheduled now but keep in mind that I do have a full course load which means lots of reading and studying so their may be some weeks where I don't update. Thank you for understanding!

Sakura02: We watched the first Pokemon movie at work on Friday and when that song came on, I started cracking up. I'm really excited to write about Breaking Dawn now, too :)

NijiNoNeko: Yes, Matthew is a mind reader. He's almost like a combination between Aro and Edward; once he's touched someone, he can hear them no matter where they are. His abilities are going to come more into play in this segment of the story

Noble Korhedron: Matthew was about six when he was turned

Juliet wavered just outside of Jacob's room. She could see him laying face down on his bed despite the lack of lights. Finally making up her mind, Juliet slipped into the room and over to the edge of Jacob's bed. She stood beside it for a moment, waiting for Jacob to acknowledge her. When he didn't, Juliet climbed into the bed with him and snuggled against his side, putting his limp arm around her. She didn't say anything, just rubbed her uncle's back and cuddled with him.

Jacob turned his head to the side to look at Juliet. He gave her a half-hearted smile and gently squeezed her. "You're a good kid when you want to be, Julie."

Juliet returned the smile and kissed Jacob's cheek. "Why don't you just talk to her? I know you miss her a lot." Juliet didn't want to say Bella's name for fear that Jacob would sink into an even deeper depression.

"It's not the simple." Jacob sighed as he turned and laid on his back. He blinked as Juliet sprawled herself across his stomach. He couldn't help but to chuckle at Juliet's long, messy hair. She had stubbornly refused to cut it, insisting that Matthew liked her hair longer.

"Why can't it be?" Juliet asked, genuinely curious. "Why can't you just be her friend? Even if she stays with him, you can still be her friend. There's someone out there for you, Uncle Jacob. Someone that's prettier, smarter, and better for you than she is."

Jacob rolled his eyes. "You don't get it. You're just a kid. That's like saying we should be best friends with the Cullens."

It was Juliet's turn to roll her eyes. "We don't have to be best friends with the Cullens but we could work with them. I mean, we all want to stop Victoria, don't we?" She bristled when Jacob sighed again. She knew her uncle was upset but she swore if he gave her the 'your-just-a-dumb-kid' look one more time, she was going to smack him.

"It's not that simple, Julie." Jacob said patiently, running his fingers through her tangled hair.

Juliet yawned, being slowly lulled to sleep. "Only because you grown ups make it complicated."

Jacob couldn't argue with her since the little girl was asleep.

"What's wrong, Carlisle?" Matthew asked, looking up from his workbook when he heard his 'father' sigh.

"Another person died in Seattle last night." Carlisle answered. He smiled at the nervous look on Matthew's face. "What's wrong, Matthew?"

Matthew was silent for a moment as he chewed on his pencil. "You don't think it's Victoria, do you?"

"That's ridiculous, Matthew." Alice skipped in, along with the rest of the Cullen family. She sat down so Matthew was situated between her legs and hugged the little boy tightly. "I would've seen something if she was behind this."

"Alice is right." Edward said when Matthew opened his mouth to speak. "I don't think it's Victoria. It could be a newborn, though." Edward looked at his watch and stood up. "I've got to go."

"Going to see Bella?" Emmett teased.

"Maybe we should talk to Juliet and the other wolves." Matthew said. "It'd be easier to track Victoria down if we all worked together."

Rosalie rolled her eyes. "Please, Matthew. Those guys want nothing to do with us. They'll hunt for her on their land and we'll hunt for her on ours."

Matthew sighed and decided to not bring the subject up anymore. He didn't understand why grown ups had to make everything so complicated. "I'm going to go see Juliet." He said, standing up and leaving the house.

"Be back by midnight!" Esme called after the little boy as he shut the door behind him.

"It didn't work, did it." Matthew sighed when he saw the dejected look on Juliet's face. He hugged her tightly before laying in the grass with her beside him. "We've gotta figure out a way to get them to see they can work together."

"We've already tried that, though." Juliet shuddered at the memory of the groups last chase of Victoria. Matthew had attempted to leap over to the Quileute territory and Jared had nearly ripped his head off.

Matthew shook his head and hugged Juliet tightly to his side, seeing what she was thinking of. "Something less life threatening. We need to put them in a situation where they're forced to work together."

Juliet sighed as she looked up at Matthew. "How? They hate each other. The only thing they agree on is Victoria needs to die and they won't even work together to do that!"

"We need to find something else." Matthew said thoughtfully as he and Juliet stared up at the clear night sky. "Something else that's really important to them…something that if it was put in danger…" Matthew's eyes suddenly lit up. "Juliet, that's it!"

Juliet blinked at sat up. "What? What's it?"

"Us!" Matthew grinned, proud of his idea. "If the both of us are in danger, they'll have to work together to save us!"

"You're a genius, Matthew!" Juliet grinned and flung her arms around Matthew. She frowned thoughtfully. "How are we going to put ourselves in danger?"

"I'll figure something out." Matthew said. "Tomorrow while they're all at school. That's when we'll do it."

I know it's a little short. It's only the start of the second week of school and I have a ton of reading and homework to do. Please review and let me know your thoughts!
