Thankyou again to all my readers, I love all of you!

Edward and Jasper exchanged taunts immaturely. "Don't throw like a girl Jasper, wouldn't want to look like your wife."
The whole family was laughing, everyone except Jasper. I hadn't seen Alice throw yet, but I could easily imagine with all her dancing. "Well at least I have a wife Edward."
A growl erupted from Edward's throat and mine. Jasper glanced apologetically at me quickly before turning back to Edward. "Let's get on with it then brother."
My love didn't wait another second and pitched the ball. It didn't blur like my pitch did, and I felt a slight amount of smugness. But Edward, had skill, the ball seemed to curve back and forth.
Jasper hit it, but it flew the wrong way. He swore as Esme called him out.
Everybody reset their places and Edward readied to throw again.
Jasper hit it better this time, Edward jumped to catch it but missed. The ball headed my way. I grinned and turned, sprinting towards it. It was soaring through the air, but I was faster. I jumped just before it and grabbed the ball. As my hands closed around it my back broke through the tree.
I wasn't able to catch myself and I tumbled to the ground. I kept the ball tight to my chest and went through tree after tree until I found my footing. I looked down, glad to see I still held the ball.
Dusting myself off, I headed back to my family.
To say the least, Jasper was pissed I had caught it. His reaction was worse than Emmett's. Speaking of Emmett, it was his turn again. Edward began to switch places with me but stopped. He turned to Rosalie who was grinning evilly.
"I have this. My lovely husband needs a real ass beat, no offence Bella."
I shrugged, and nodded. "None taken."
Edward took Rosalie's place, as she began teasing her husband. "So darling, you let little Bella beat you?"
Emmett growled, giving no response. Good choice.
Rosalie's throw was lacking in the strength department, but it bent outwards and then spun in. It was magical. Emmett swung and missed. Rose found that hilarious.
"Nice try babe. Again?" Rosalie smirked and threw the ball up and down.
They tried again. Emmett managed to hit it and it flew. The sound of the bat hitting the ball was even louder than thunder. I once again remembered why I was scared of him. It was clear Rose wasn't going to catch it so I bolted.
My feet pushed off against the ground, the earth flattening as I bolted for the ball. I wasn't going to catch it, it was far too fast. I hoped we'd be able to tag him out. I heard the ball land on the ground, I was only a few more steps from it.
I dived forward, only to collide with something. Cold. I jumped back to find Edward laughing and brushing himself off. "Sorry Love. I wasn't paying attention."
My head whipped to where the ball was. "Don't worry about it. He made it already."
He smiled at my frown. He pulled me too him and kissed my forehead. "We need to head back if you want a chance to bat."
I nodded against his arms and let him lead me back.
Rosalie and Emmett didn't seem to be fighting. Quite the opposite in fact, they were kissing. Everyone was standing around Alice. "Welcome back. Now, storms going to be over soon, we need to switch sides."
Emmett chuckled and clapped his hands together. "Awesome. I can get my revenge on Bellsy bear."
"Whatever you say Emmett. Let's go." I took the bat off the ground and stood. The rest of Emmett's team dashed into the field. I waited patiently for Emmett to throw the ball.
So, I just had to hit the ball. I hoped I wouldn't miss. Emmett gave one last chuckle before throwing the ball. It wasn't blurry but it spun to my right.
It was as if it were in slow motion. I had no issue readjusting the bat to hit the new path of the ball. The strength I used was over the top. I felt the bat morph slightly from the force.
The ball flew, Emmett jumped to try to grab it but he had no chance. I waited patiently to see if they could catch it. Pleased when the ball soared over Alice's head, I dashed to the first base. The space between the bases was vast, but with my vampire speed I managed to make it to the second base before I heard the ball land. I didn't pay attention to anything as I dashed to the third base, and finally home base.
Rosalie patted me on the back and congratulated me.
I watched awed as Edward stepped up to bat. I couldn't imagine how he would play it, strength of skill? Before I had the chance though. He froze.
Alice's gasp gained our attention. "Everyone group up."
We did as she asked, all of us anxious. The baseball game was all but forgotten.
Edward growled suddenly. I turned to him curiously.
"Nomad's. They want to play." Alice's tone was grave. Nomad's? As in vampires? I frowned at Edward.
"They're not like us Bella. They aren't vegetarians, nor do they have any respect. They are monsters."
Carlisle coughed and we turned to him. "We'll ask them to leave. This is our territory, I don't see why they would stay. Alice how many are there?"
My sister gained a distant look before turning to Carlisle. "There are three, but they won't leave."
Edward growled again and hissed under his breath. "The nomad's have something to do with Bella. We can't let them hurt her."
I frowned, hurt me? No way. I was a newborn. I was strong. Before I said anything Edward pulled me to him protectively. "I can't get a clear vision, but they know Bella. I think they may be the ones who turned her."
My knees felt as though they would give out. I was about to meet the monsters who turned me.
I was extremely grateful for Edward's support. I didn't think I could stand. "This changes things. Let me rip them to pieces Carlisle. I'm not letting those bastards live after what they did to my little sister."
Esme didn't even scold Emmett for his language. That wasn't a good sign. "As much as I'm tempted by that idea, we can't. We must be civil. They will leave."
Rosalie snapped. "Carlisle, what if they try to hurt Bella? You know nomad's, they lack control and live like savages."
"If they make any move to hurt her. I won't bother with your conformation Carlisle." Edward looked so determined, he meant it.
Carlisle sighed and nodded. "Guy's, they're going to be here in thirty two seconds."
My love growled again and pushed me behind him. I noticed the rest of my family, besides Carlisle and Esme, move in front of me as well. Jasper gave me a reassuring smile. "Don't be scared Bella. They won't ever touch you."
Again I had forgotten about Jasper's gift.
Edward tensed in front of me and whispered below his breath quickly. "They're here. I can hear their thoughts."
Carlisle moved forward as the three vampires emerged from the forest.
"Hello. My name is Carlisle, and this is my family. May I ask what your intentions are in our territory?"
The middle one spoke up. "My name is Laurent. This is Victoria," His head gestured towards the female beside him.
I glanced around Edward to get a look at her. She had bright red hair that flowed down her back, she had bare feet and was dressed in over the top clothing. Large furs and jeans. As I looked at her Victoria's eyes met with mine and they narrowed.
Edward tensed beside me, I heard him stifle a growl. Fear over took me, she looked completely viscous. Her eyes glowed bright crimson seething hatred.
Automatically, my shields curled out, surrounding my family. Who knew if she had any powers.
Then it struck me. Why was I scared? I could simply freeze her in agonizing pain within a second.
My assessment took moments as Laurent continued. "And this is James."
The man beside Laurent was savage. Simply that, he looked like a wild beast. It was clear his hair hadn't been brushed in a long time. His clothes were filthy and tattered. His eyes were narrowed too, seething the same hate as Victoria. Laurent seemed oblivious to all of this.
"We heard your game and wondered if we could join."
Carlisle paused, for a moment I thought he would invite them to play. "I'm afraid not, the storm is about to end and we have to get home."
Laurent tilted his head. "That's a shame. I apologize for trespassing through your territory however, we were just passing through."
"Well we maintain a permanent residence here, I ask that you do not feed here. Perhaps you should continue your way to Port Angeles?"
The woman, Victoria, spoke up now. Ignoring Carlisle. "You have a newborn."
Edward growled, causing James to glare in his direction. Carlisle nodded. "Yes. We are teaching her our ways."
James stepped forward, eyes locking me into place. Frozen. "What is your name young one?"
Edwards hands suddenly pulled me back and he crouched. A hiss sounded from his throat so intense. It was as if a thousand bee's were surrounding us. "Her name is not of any importance to you. We will not ask you again. Leave now."
Laurent quickly calmed his companions and convinced them to leave. I briefly watched as they all turned and headed back towards the forests edge. Victoria's eyes did not leave mine until she reached the edge. When she did, she turned with her crimson eyes alight with amusement. Her following smirk sent shivers down my spine.

I've been inspired by one of my reader's to start another story, it's mostly going to be pre-written. Here is the info, check it out?:
Being Bella
The street was in view now and I crossed it. No one ever used this road. No one. Not since half of it had been ruined from street racing. And that's why I didn't expect the car. Sarah was just a normal woman, finally free to live her life. What happens when after a car crash she finds herself waking up as Bella Swan?
