Bella's P.O.V
I sighed as I made my way up to my house. It was late, and we'd just got back from the 'GNO'. I unlocked my front door, waving at Alice, Rosalie and Angela who were in Alice's car. Alice and Angela waved back at me, and Rosalie offered me a look that wasn't a glare so that was good.
I headed into the house, slamming my front door behind me. "I'm home, Charlie," I called to my dad, who was lounging in front of the T.V as usual.
"Hey Bells. Your phone has been ringing off the hook. Your cheerleading friends want to know why you haven't gone to cheer practice," He explained.
I nodded, "I'll give them a call," I promised, heading up the stairs to my room.
I flung myself down on my bed, pushing aside my bag of clothes. I heard a chuckle, and looked up to see Edward standing by the window. I rolled my eyes, tiredly.
"What? I'm tired," I complained, pushing the bag of clothes completely off the bed.
Edward chuckled again, and he swept me into his arms. I snuggled up to him and he sat down on my bed. I leaned against him and closed my eyes. "Good night," I murmured.
Edward kissed my forehead, lightly caressing my cheek. I smiled against his feathery touch, but then suddenly he tensed.
"What?" I asked, opening my eyes and looking at Edward, who had a suspicious look on his face.
I slipped out of his arms and looked around the room to where Edward was running from side to side sniffing. "What are you doing?" I asked, folding my arms across my chest.
"Who was here?" Edward asked, sniffing again, closing his eyes.
I shrugged, "I was out all day. I just came back to put my clothes," I gestured to the pile of clothes that were spilling out of the bag of shopping.
"Is anything missing?" He questioned, gesturing to the bag.
I rolled my eyes, "I'm not sure," I muttered, suddenly remembering that they were more than one bag when I put them in.
"I think that a bag or two of clothes are missing. Alice is going to kill me," I whispered, clutching Edwards arm.
Edward sighed, "We need an emergency meeting. There's a scent here. One of our kind," He explained.
"Do you recognize it?" I asked.
"No, it's a vampire I haven't met before," He informed me.
I sighed, "I'll call Angela. Maybe she has some sort of spell to help us," I murmured.
"Okay, then we need to have another meeting with the Quileute's. Can you call Jacob?" Edward asked.
I shrugged, picking up my cell phone. There were some missed calls from Zoe, Samantha and Jojo, but I didn't have time to call them back now. I dialed Angela's number, and explained to her what was going on. She promised she'd be over in five, so I hung up and called Jacob instead.
"Hey Jake," I murmured.
"Bella? Hi, how are you?" He asked.
I sighed, "Not so good," I explained about the scent of the vampire, and we decided he'd come over to get the scent, then we'd go back to the Cullens- with the rest of the wolves, Edward and Angela- for our meeting.
The doorbell rang and I hurried down to get it. "Are you still awake Bells?" Charlie called as I stood on the stairs.
"Yeah, it's Ange right?" I asked, and I saw Charlie nod, and send her upstairs to me. We hurried into my room, and she looked around. She then pulled out her black spell book, and Edward and I watched her curiously as she skimmed through it.
Suddenly she stopped and turned to me. "Did you find something?" I asked, hopefully.
Angela nodded, and started to chant something in latin. I sighed, and sat down on the bed, Edward flopped down beside me, an angry look on his face. She kept on chanting, her eyes closing, and suddenly she was gazing intently at something, her eyes screwed up in concentration.
"Vampire," She called, "Tall. Male. Red Eyes? Brown hair. Taking a bag of clothes, and shampoo? Yes, your shampoo from the bathroom. It was 2 hours ago when Charlie was dozing in front of the T.V. Then he ran away. She then came out of her trance, and looked at me, weakly.
"That's all I got," She told me, sadly.
"It's more than enough. Thank you," Edward murmured, and suddenly Angela passed out on my bed. I gasped, rushing over to her and shaking her.
"What happened?" I asked, worriedly.
"She had a power overload. She used too much power to summon the last spell," He explained.
"What can I do?" I asked, feeling bad. It was all my fault; I shouldn't have told her to come and do that spell.
"Nothing. You just leave her to rest, She'll regain consciousness when she has enough power in her system," He explained, and suddenly there was this scratching on the window. I looked up to see Jacob. I opened the window, and he slipped in, looking a little confused at the fact that Angela was sprawled out on my bed, her eyes closed.
"Power overload," I explained, and Jacob just nodded, and was suddenly sniffing around the room; the way Edward had been doing before. Then he nodded.
"I've picked up the scent," He said, grimly.
I nodded, and then sighed. "What are we going to do about Angela?" I asked.
"We'll just leave her here. We have to go to the meeting," Edward explained.
I sighed again, "I'll just stay with her. I'm tired anyway." I murmured.
Edward nodded, "Okay, well I'll see you tomorrow morning? I'll come pick you guys up for school," He explained, and Jacob was already out of the window, after offering me a slight wave. I waved back, and Edward pecked me on the cheek before jumping swiftly down onto the ground.
I gently pushed Angela under the covers, propping her head up against the pillow. Then I closed the window; just in case of course, then changed into my PJ's. I pulled out the spare mattress from Charlie's room and lay down onto it. I passed out the second my head hit the pillow.
Alice's P.O.V
I tapped my hand impatiently on the table as we all sat round it. We were waiting for Edward and the wolves to come. I had seen a vision about exactly what we needed to do, so Esme was cooking some snacks for Bella, Angela and the wolves, and Jasper, Rosalie, Emmett, Carlisle and I were sitting around the dining table, waiting.
I grinned as the door clicked open, and Edward hurried in, Jacob walking with him. I smelt the distasteful odor of dog, but I knew we had to endure it for Bella's sake.
"Hey, where are Bella and Ange?" I asked, chirpily.
Edward sighed, "Angela got overpowered by a spell, and Bella is staying with her," He explained.
"That sucks," I pouted, and Edward smiled a little before turning solemn.
Esme came in with the cookies and placed them in front of Jacob, who sat down by Edward's side, in the place where Bella usually sat. Esme sat down too, smiling a little at Jacob.
"Why didn't the rest of the pack come?" I asked Jacob curiously.
"Er, they are a little busy. I'm going to tell them what they missed," Jacob explained, hesitating before he took a cookie and biting into it.
"Okay, so I know Alice told you about what happened back at Bella's house. And this means they will have Bella's scent, so we have to train harder than ever," Edward said, looking at each one of our faces.
Jasper and Emmett nodded- Emmett happily, and Jazz grimly. Rosalie looked down at the ground, but didn't say anything. Carlisle had his usual calm look on his face, and Esme looked a little worried.
"Did you see how many vampires are coming?" Edward asked me.
I shook my head, "Not yet. The numbers are still undecided. But it's between 15 and 20," I explained.
"Fully grown leeches?" Jacob asked, biting another cookie. He must have decided that they weren't poisoned or something.
I nodded, "Yes, fully grown vampires," I replied.
Suddenly, everything froze around me, and I was having a vision.
"What do you mean they have a witch?" Victoria was asking angrily. She was seated in a room full of the fully grown vampires- the ones who were fighting. I couldn't see how many they were or where they were.
"I sensed her aura when I went to that Becca's room," A brown haired vampire with cherry colored eyes explained.
Victoria looked enraged, "But… how?" She demanded, throwing a glass cup filled with what looked to be blood on the floor. It spilled but she didn't pick it up. Her red hair was flaming and her ruby red eyes shining with anger.
Laurent came forward. "We can take the witch down. We're more powerful," He said in his French accent. His eyes were the same color of Victoria's- which meant that they'd fed recently. A murmur of agreement arose in the room.
"The witch will be the first we'll eliminate in the battle," The brown haired vampire explained, surely.
"Who will take sole responsibility?" Victoria asked, standing up so that her black designer dress showed.
"We both will. Nicolas and I," Laurent said, gesturing to the brown haired vampire. Nicholas nodded, rubbing his hands together in anticipation.
The vision faded out, and I gasped. I felt Jasper's arm around me, and Edward had the same pained expression on his face that I had.
"Ange," I murmured, feeling like I was going to cry. I liked Angela; I didn't want her to be 'eliminated'.
Edward sighed, "That just means we have to train even harder. And you have to tell Angela to train harder too," He told me.
"What's going on?" Jasper asked, and I explained to them all what I had seen. I felt a sick feeling in my stomach as the question came to my mind; were we strong enough to win this battle? Because if we weren't, I had a feeling there weren't going to be any Cullen's left.
Bella's P.O.V
I woke up the next morning, a sad smile on my face. I had school today, and that sucked. I looked up to my bed but Angela was not there. I gasped, looking at the window, but it was open. I jumped up off the mattress and headed to the bathroom, but it was empty.
I sighed in relief as I heard her talking to Charlie. I smelt bacon and eggs too. I rushed down to the kitchen, and smiled. Angela was preparing breakfast, and Charlie was eating, the newspaper in one hand, a mug of coffee in the other.
"Good morning," I cried, in my most cheerful voice.
Angela smiled, handing me a plate of food and a coffee before sitting down next to me with her own. I sat down and dug in.
"Wow, this is good," I murmured.
Charlie looked amused, "You never told me that Angela was sleeping over," He explained.
I shrugged, "It was a last minute decision," I told him, polishing off my bacon and moving on to the eggs.
Angela nodded, and sipped her coffee. "Come on, Bella. We're going to be late for school. I still have to stop by my house for my school bag," she explained.
I nodded, and finished my plate. I gulped down my coffee, and rushed upstairs to get dressed. I grabbed my cheer dress, realizing I would probably have practice. I paired it with some black ballet shoes, and I tied my hazelnut hair back.
I then grabbed my school bag, and rushed downstairs. Angela was washing up, and she dried the last plate as I came in. "Bye Charlie," I called.
"Bye Chief Swan," Ange called, and we headed outside to find Edward waiting in his Volvo. We both got in, and it was only when Edward was driving towards Angela's that I realized the grim look on his face.
"What's up?" I asked.
Edward sighed, "Well, Alice had a vision, and Victoria knows about Angela being a witch; someone sensed her witchy aura," He murmured.
"And?" I asked. I noticed that Angela was peering out of the window.
"She wants to eliminate her in the battle," He explained.
"Well that won't be a problem. She'll be with me," I replied as he pulled up in front of Angela's.
"But that can attract them to you," Angela put in, as she got out of the car.
I sighed, "But cant you like conceal your aura?" I asked.
Angela sighed, standing by my window. "Yeah, but it takes a hell of a lot of practicing," She murmured.
I didn't say anything. "And it's the only hope we have right?" Angela asked, after a few seconds.
I sighed, and Angela just shrugged, "Fine. For you Bella, I'll do it," She murmured.
I got out of the car and hugged her, "Thanks so much," I exclaimed, hardly able to thank her enough.
Angela just giggled, "It's okay. Now can you leave me so I can go get my things so we won't be late for school?" She asked.
I rolled my eyes, "Sure, don't be too long." I pleaded.
"I won't," Angela replied, grinning at me before running into the house. I sighed. I didn't want to put her in danger, but it seems like we didn't have any choice.
