EPOV.

Excellent, just fantastic. I'd basically been kicked out of the house to go fishing. And not just with anyone, Bella's father Charlie, and werewolves. They'd all be having a go at me. Maybe this was just a set up, so they could all kill me. I wouldn't be surprised. I was meeting Charlie at his house, and he was going to take us there in the cop car. For once, I didn't drive quickly, I tried to prolong the short moments of peace I had. Unfortunately, even going at 30mph gets you there sometime. The instant I was out the car, Charlie was out of his house, fishing gear in hand. If it wasn't rude, I would have groaned.

"Hey, sport!" He said cheerfully, breaking out into a whistle. For the love of Esme, do not call me 'sport'. I smiled tightly and got in the car when he gestured. "Sorry, kid. There's no room in the front, that's where I keep my fishing kit," He said, voice still cheerful, but thoughts menacing. He believed the back of the police car was the perfect place for me. I tried not to laugh as he started the car. "Ever been fishing before?" He asked, switching the radio on.

"No, sir. I'm hoping to learn from the best," Alice was right, I am a kiss-ass. He didn't take it as flattery.

"You making fun of me?" He asked, looking at me in the mirror.

"No, sir." I said quickly. Yes, they definitely wanted to kill me.

"So... what's all this about the Quileutes not letting you in La Push? Know why?"

"Uh..." They're scared I'll drink their blood, or break out into an interspecies war, to name a few. "We've never really bothered to ask, my family are more about the land than beaches and water."

"Right..." He said thoughtfully. His mind wandered to tales Billy had told him about creatures forbidden from their land. He dismissed it before I needed to distract him. "Wonder what the change is for..." If I'm in their land, they have a right to kill me, and war with my family... Oh, crap. But if they invited me, surely...? "Here we are," Charlie said loudly, followed by another tuneless whistle. "Amazing, this place. Shame you've never seen it before. Perfect place for wildlife... you can look anywhere and see some creature!" So this is where all the deer and mountain lions have been hiding... I could practically sense every animal in the place. It had been a long time since I was last here, the wolf scent was almost intoxicating now. Back then, it had been a population of three werewolves. Three was enough.

Charlie continued driving down a route I suspected was the way to the Blacks' house. When he stopped the car, he put the siren on quickly, with a chuckle. It was so loud, and with my increased hearing, it almost burnt. "That'll get em' up." No need, Billy was up waiting for Jacob and his... brothers to come back from the woods. Either that was extremely good news, or terrible news. Out of the door, came a wheelchair, with a stout, fierce looking man in it. Billy, of course. I had seen him since, but now I could remember the days when there was no treaty, and I had seen Billy as a child, with his father Ephraim. We had moved on soon after, but the legends and warnings hadn't changed. As soon as he spotted me, his eyes narrowed. I thought I was invited? He said nothing, but instead waited on Charlie to come out and greet him. Charlie and I got out the car at the same time,

"Billy!" Charlie exclaimed, walking over to the wheelchair. "How've you been?"

"Great, yourself?" He said, not taking his eyes off me.

"I'm good, thanks. I asked the kid," He said, following Billy's gaze. I suddenly felt very awkward, with the two of them staring at me. Neither of them had particularly violent thoughts toward me, Billy couldn't remember if I was the 'Mind-reader one' or not, and Charlie, Charlie was just thinking about the day of fishing ahead.

"Good, good." Billy smiled tightly at me. "You know who I am, right?" He asked me.

"Better than anyone else," I smiled. Charlie laughed in his ignorance, and Billy knew instantly that I was the 'Mind-reading one'.

"Where's Jake? Can't get him up?" Charlie asked. I watched as Billy panicked internally. His face stayed an old, blank mask.

"Yeah, boy likes his sleep," Billy grumbled. He saw me smirk, and smiled slightly.

"Will the rest of his gang be coming too?" Charlie asked, getting his fishing gear out.

"Yes, the rest of Sam's gang are coming," Billy smiled. I had to cough to stop me from laughing. It was funny how it always had to be the Alpha's, when dealing with the pack. Suddenly, the scent of wolf came closer. Someone could be heard closing the back door of the house and walking in. A second later, Jacob appeared in the front door.

"Hey, Charlie, hey, Dad." He smiled, before looking at me. Hey, who invited the leech? He thought. I wondered if Billy shared the wolves mental connection, because he answered Jacob's question.

"I invited Edward over, so we could go fishing, are you coming, Jake?"

"Sure," He smiled warily, still looking at me. Soon after, we were joined by the rest of the pack. With the rest of my family, I wouldn't feel so intimidated, but alone, with all these wolves around me was quite unnerving. Not one of them hinted at the change of mood toward my family and I. Except maybe Jacob... he thought about Bella every now and then, not in a way that would make me want to hit him, but in a friendly way. Maybe it was to do with Bella. We were going to drive down to the lake where they wanted to go fishing, but Sam stepped in at the last minute.

"Perhaps, if Edward and I, along with some of the others just walked? The cars will get cramped otherwise."

"Sure," Billy agreed. Some of the wolves nodded.

"Okay," I smiled. Oh, crap. Mauled to death by wolves.

Charlie frowned. "It's about a couple of miles away, isn't it? Are you sure you want to walk?"

"We can run fast," One of the pack piped up. Charlie didn't doubt him, he appraised their height and nodded.

In the forest, on the way to the lake, I instantly expected to be torn to shreds as soon as we were out of sight. They had invited me, as though in a truce, but were going to kill me anyway. Sam spoke up first, not surprisingly. "Edward. You may be wondering why we have allowed you to our land. We just want you to know, this is not a free thing. You can come here, though only with our confirmation."

"Yes, okay. But why?" I asked, unable to find it in their minds.

"Well, since Bella is my friend, but is also part of your family, we decided we can't keep the treaty for the rest of you, but not her." Jacob said. There were grumbles from behind him, and I guessed a few would disagree.

"Um... great. But we have survived so long without permission into La Push, I don't know if we have reason to come back."

"I understand you were not particularly friendly with this Victoria leech, or her accomplice Laurent. When we got them, both times it was with the distraction of your Bella, and on one occasion, she got..."

"Leeched!" One of the pack interrupted Sam, causing growls.

"Yes, I shall go with Embry's description. She got 'leeched'. As protectors of this area, we do not wish to have to sacrifice humans to get rid of nuisances. We would appreciate your help, if not acquaintanceship," His nose wrinkled at the last word.

They wanted to have a truce, become friends with my family? "I'll have to speak with Carlisle, and the rest of my family, but I expect this will be okay, judging by your hospitality."

"On the other hand, you are still forbidden from hunting in these areas."

"Done." I said, though I couldn't help but listen to the wildlife around, much more abundant than of that in Forks.

"Shall we go fishing, then?" He smiled. We began running, slowly for vampires and werewolves, but quick for humans. The wolves talked like I wasn't there.

"Hey, Sam? Do fish have blood?" One of them asked. I heard a slap as Jacob hit him at the back of the head, pushing him forward.

"Hey, OW!" He yelled, and they both exploded, tumbling away as hairy werewolves. They reappeared a second later, laughing and joking. I rolled my eyes and concentrated on running. Childish creatures.

"You old man," One of them, a younger one said playfully. Seth Clearwater. "Have some fun!" He grinned.

Alright, I smirked. I disappeared from the group of them, running at top vampire speed, only to return a minute later with his toothbrush. "You didn't brush today," I smirked, throwing it at him. "You reek of human food." He laughed, taking the brush and throwing it away. The others didn't laugh, they thought I'd been trying to make a break from them, and roam around La Push. Idiots. We reached the lake then, where the others were setting up. I hoped there wasn't too much skill about fishing.

Frustration; human frustration is not a pretty sight. Nor is werewolf frustration. Turns out I have a bit of a knack for fishing. I stood, chuckling as I reeled in another, trying to make it look like there was some effort involved, as the others attempted to position the lure near a fish.

"Well done, sport. And you say you've never been fishing before?" Charlie smiled, a little tightly.

"No, actually, I haven't." Charlie raised his eyebrows, but only his thoughts spoke. Liar. He thought, though he wasn't that angry. "So, did Bella have fun at you place last night?"

"Yes, Alice gave her makeovers, and as far as I know, they watched films a lot of the night."

"Okay," Charlie grinned. He seemed satisfied with my story not to try killing me. "You and her, eh? Engaged..." He let out a gust of air. "That's a big step."

"Yes, but we both agreed we were ready for this," I reassured him.

"Okay..." He sighed, before his eyes bulged out. "You haven't knocked her up, have you?!" He yelled suddenly.

"No, definitely not, sir." I said, trying not to laugh. If only Charlie knew how impossible that would be... (AN:LOL)

"Good," He sighed. "If Renee and I hadn't had Bella so soon, maybe we would still be together..." He smiled sadly, and his thoughts were reminiscent of Bella's mother. I felt sorry for him then, he truly loved Renee.

"We wouldn't sir, my family have always been very old-fashioned..." I trailed off. I used to be old-fashioned, till I met Bella...

Charlie laughed. "Okay, kid," He chortled. Weird man.

Soon after, it was time to go. Believe it or not, I was glad that they had invited me over. They weren't all that hospitable, but I was on quite good terms with a few. Seth, definitely. In the times when I wasn't talking to Charlie or Jacob, I was having a laugh with Seth. We pulled pranks on Charlie and Billy, though I'm sure Billy knew it was us. Charlie, on the other hand, from the amounts of times his water bottle had fallen over, his catches disappearing, I'm sure he'll think there is a ghost in La Push. Jacob and I talked a lot, too. He mostly wanted to know about Bella, and life since she'd been changed. For a laugh, I started sharing anecdotes with him, from times before he was born. It pissed him off a considerable amount, so it was worth it.

Embry, the one that had asked about fish having blood came and asked me about my lifestyle a lot. I answered as honestly as possible, without making it seem like a ravenous, disgusting way to live. He was fascinated beyond belief. We then talked about what it was like for him, exploding into a poodle when he got angry. That got me a mouthful from him. "If anything, we're like huskies! Or... wolves! We're wolves! Not poodles!" Charlie looked around at him with concern, but said nothing.

Surprisingly, it was a good day. After getting back to Charlie's house, I started to drive home. When I got there, Alice and Jasper were in the main room. Alice was flicking through a magazine, while Jasper was reading a book.

"Alice? Where is everyone else?" I frowned.

"Upstairs, they'll tell you in a minute." We sat in silence for another few minutes; I didn't want to disturb Alice during wedding planning, the time when she was most violent. Suddenly, she had a vision, but it was too quick for me to see it in her head, all I saw was her blank face, and then she was back. She stared around her, wide eyed, and threw the magazine on the floor. "Oh. My. God." She said. I looked into her mind, for any clues, but she was picturing to catalogue, nothing else could be heard.

"What is it, Alice?" I asked, worrying. She shook her head slowly, as though she barely acknowledged my question. "Alice?" She shook her head again.

"I... I can't believe it! It's not possible!" Suddenly, Bella came downstairs. Alice's eyes darted to the door, in anticipation. The door opened and Bella walked through, a lop-sided smile on her face. Alice ran up to her, and hugged her tightly. "Bella," She breathed. Then, she turned to look at me and Jasper. "Edward, Bella has something to-" Worry shot across Bella's face, and a second later she and Alice had disappeared.

"Wonder what that's all about?" Jasper said, looking at the door. I could tell they were out in the garden, whispering. This was something Bella didn't want me to know. I knew it was wrong to do it, and I tried not to; but I couldn't help but eavesdrop into part of Alice's thoughts. She was still picturing the catalogue, as a block for me, but some sentences slipped through, and I heard them. "Alice Cullen, do you really want Edward to know about this so soon, when it still seems dangerous?" Bella asked her. I didn't see what Alice said, but she was trying desperately to find a loophole in Bella's plans. "I can't tell him, not until I know everything will be alright," Bella said sadly. I think my brain just died. What could she not tell me? Why, because it was dangerous? What was dangerous? Why was she in danger?

"That is cool, though kinda scary," Alice said. "I'm so sorry though, Bella." She whispered. This will kill Edward, she thought sadly. After a few more minutes, they were back. I tried to hide my insanity at the secrecy, and I think it worked. Expect from Jasper, of course, but I think he would feel the same way. They came back in. I knew I wouldn't be told now, but I couldn't let them know I knew that.

"What were you saying before, Alice?" I asked, trying not to sound urgent. They would tell me when they were ready. What if that was too late?

"Oh, um... Bella and I are... giving Jasper a makeover!" She smiled, though she knew she'd slipped up. I knew something was wrong. I'm sorry Edward. Please, let Bella tell you in her own time. She thought sadly, before her thoughts turned happy; at last, she had a reason to give Jasper a makeover. Panic and annoyance filled the room; he knew he couldn't get out of it.

"Oh, no Alice! No!" He pleaded, but it was too late.

"Not a girly one, you'll look like a guy this time, only with more makeup on; like a film-star or a rockstar." She grabbed his and Bella's hand and pulled them out of the room. A second later, Bella reappeared, smiling.

"How was fishing?" She grinned.

"It was good, I guess," I said; who cared about fishing, what did she have to tell me?! I took Alice's advice though, Bella could tell me when she wanted. Not that I wouldn't be going insane with worry till then.

"No supernatural fights, I take it?"

"No, but they don't trust us... yet. There were wolves all around the lake." No need to mention they were fishing too, I didn't need to put them to shame.

"Did they tell you why they wanted you to come?"

"Not exactly," I frowned. They did tell me, but the reason was basically they wanted to fight other vampires with us. Nice.

"So what about Charlie? Did you and him have a good conversation?"

"Of sorts... I'll tell you about it in the car,"

"The car? Where are we going?"

"I'm not sure yet, wherever." I smiled. Maybe she would tell me in the car, before suspense swallowed me once and for all. We got in the car, and for a second, Bella's face crumpled in sadness. Along the way, I stole glances at her, when she wasn't looking at me. Our hands were interlinked in the middle, but with her other hand, she kept fidgeting, pulling at her clothes, pushing invisible hair out of her face, scratching her knee. Something was definitely wrong. She didn't speak, and neither did I. Her mind was also blocked off to me. This was getting frightening.

AN: Oooh, curveball! Edward knows... something :P Thought I would give his POV a go... Idk how it turned out...
