Sakura02: You know she's going to be an amazing badass ;-)

Noble Korhedron: Matthew's sister has been mentioned a few times. It's his older sister that went with their father when their parents split

Thanks: RANDOM COOKIE NINJA and starred for reviewing

"Yes…no…I completely…are you okay, Katherine?" Carlisle stood beside the window, his phone clenched tightly in his hand. His eyes had widened at the sound of a rather loud explosion and the sound of a female voice cursing profusely. "Katherine? No…Yes, I understand…he's right here…"

Matthew perked up as Carlisle glanced at him. He rushed over to Carlisle's side and waited expectantly for the elder vampire to hand him the phone. When he finally was holding the phone to his ear, Matthew opened and closed his mouth a few times, unsure what to say to the person on the other end. "Hey, Kat."

"Matt, is that really you?" Katherine's voice was just as Matthew remembered it, though it sounded crisper and clearer than it ever had before. He could hear the tears in her voice as she spoke. Katherine let out a sudden yelp and gunshots rang through the phone.

"Are you okay, Kat?" Matthew asked, alarmed. "Are you coming to help?"

Matthew could tell his older sister was running due to her accelerated breathing ringing in his ears. Katherine let out a breathy laugh as she spoke again. "I'm fine, Matt. This damn Chupacabra is just refusing to go down. I'll be there as soon as I can. I've just got to finish this job and…"

Matthew flinched as a loud explosion went off in the background and something let out an enraged shriek the likes of which Matthew had never heard before in his life. "Okay. Please be careful. I love you."

"I love you too, Matt." Katherine said softly. "I can't wait to meet this little girlfriend of yours when I get there. Now, give the phone back to Carlisle real quick so I can get more details."

Carlisle took the phone from Matthew and resumed talking to Katherine. He quickly explained to Katherine their rough plan of how they were going to fight the newborn army. His eyes widened as Katherine let out a scream of surprise and the creature that had shrieked earlier sounded suddenly much closer. "Katherine, are you all right?"

A loud gunshot, a shriek of pain, and a triumphant laugh from Katherine gave them all their answer. Carlisle sighed, rubbing his temples. "Please be more careful. Yes…how many more do you need to…ah…yes, well…good luck then and please don't get yourself killed. We will see you soon then."

Esme giggled as Carlisle hung up with a sigh. "Katherine has always been a risk taker. I always thought she took after her father more than her mother."

Alice nodded in agreement and pulled Matthew into a tight hug. "Unlike our sweet little Matthew." She cooed.

Matthew gave a small half smile. On the inside, he was completely excited. His big sister was coming to Forks! He hadn't realized how much he missed her until he heard her voice over the phone. He knew he would've cried if he had the ability to. Now, there was nothing left to do but wait.

"Who is coming?" Jacob asked as he rushed around his messy room getting ready.

Juliet watched him from her perch on his bed. "Matthew's big sister, Katherine. She's a Hunter and she's gonna help them fight." Juliet rolled her eyes as Jacob only gave a grunt in response. She hopped off the bed and had to run to keep up with his long strides as he ran through the house and out the door to his car. She jumped into the backseat as Jacob climbed into the driver's seat. "Are you okay to drive?" She asked worriedly.

Jacob brushed Juliet's reaching hand away from his face. He covered a big yawn before pulling out of the driveway and heading towards No Man's Land. " Sit down, would you? I'm fine, Julie. I wouldn't let you in the car if I was worried I'd fall asleep."

"I could help too, you know." Juliet pouted. Jacob had been taking double shifts in order to make sure Bella was safe and he was paying for it. There were huge dark circles under his eyes and he didn't seem to have the energy to do anything.

"No." Jacob said firmly. He reached back to ruffle Juliet's hair and gave her a tired smile. "I'd rather you patrol closer to home. Dad would have my head if anything happened to you. So, that leech of yours is going hunting with the big leeches?"

"Matthew is not a leech." Juliet huffed indignantly. "And yes, he is. They want to be as strong as possible for when they have to fight." She perked up as they came around the bend and Edward's car came into view. Her face fell when she realized Matthew wasn't in the car. "He must've gone on ahead with Emmett and the others…"

Jacob rolled his eyes and honked the car horn twice. The smack he received from Juliet made him yelp in surprise. Turning, he gave her a sleepy glare. "What was that for? You're supposed to respect your elders, you know."

"Then you shouldn't have honked your horn at them like that." Juliet retorted. "That was rude."

"Yes mother…" Jacob grumbled. He perked up as Bella hopped into the passenger seat. "Hey, Bells."

Bella smiled as Juliet squealed excitedly and hugged her from behind. She frowned as she noticed how haggard Jacob's appearance was. "Jacob, are you okay?"

"He's not sleeping!" Juliet answered before Jacob could come up with a half-ass lie. "He's been taking double shifts on patrol!"

"Traitor." Jacob muttered as they pulled back into the driveway. "You're just mad because your leech wasn't there to greet us. Besides, you haven't been sleeping much either."

Juliet stuck her tongue out at him as she climbed out of the car. "That's different. I have nightmares and I don't like dreaming them over and over." She tried to cover up a yawn as Bella looked at her with worry as well.

Bella knelt down in front of Juliet. "Go take a nap, Juliet. Jacob and I won't go anywhere until you wake up. Besides, I don't think he can handle much right now, either."

Juliet was about to protest, but saw there was no point. Besides, what else would she do? Jacob wouldn't want her hanging around him and Bella since he rarely got to spend one-on-one time with her. She also knew there was something important he wanted to tell Bella, but he wouldn't say what it was. Maybe she wouldn't have the nightmare this time. Maybe she'd get a peaceful sleep in for once. "Okay." She yelped as Jacob hoisted her under his arm and carried her into the house.

"I'll tuck the brat in and then we can hang out." Jacob called over his shoulder. He strode quickly through the house and deposited Juliet unceremoniously onto her bed. "Want me to turn your night light on?" He asked, a teasing note in his voice. When all he received from Juliet was a blank stare, he sighed and tucked her in. "When are you going to tell us about your nightmares?"

"Never." Juliet said with finality. She regretted going to Jacob's room crying the first night she had the nightmare. Ever since, he and the others had been trying to get it out of her. She knew they had seen flashes of it when she phased since they would ask her about it then as well and she wasn't always successful at hiding everything. She was able to cover up the most important part of the dream that she didn't want them to know, though; the part where a pale arm tore through her chest, blood dripping from its long fingers.

Jacob gently tucked her in and kissed her forehead and then her nose. "Get a good nap. You've got patrol with me tonight."

"Okay…" Juliet yawned and rolled over onto her side, falling asleep almost immediately.

Juliet knew she was having the nightmare as soon as she looked around. Bella, Jacob, Edward…everyone was there in the field the nightmare always took place in. She didn't recognize the field as any she'd ever seen in Forks. The sun was always covered by dark storm clouds and rain poured down from the sky, making it difficult for even Juliet to see. Something was holding Edward and the others back, but that hadn't stopped them all from screaming. One particular voice stuck out to her above the others. This voice was screaming in pain and made her want to die just hearing it. She'd looked up from the muddy puddle before her and found Matthew just a few feet from her, being held in place by a vampire whose face was completely shadowed. Juliet tried to rush forward to save him, but found that another vampire was holding her back. A scream of anguish tore from her mouth as the vampire began tearing Matthew limb from limb. Juliet tried to wrench herself free from the vampire, screaming Matthew's name over and over. It was then that the vampire behind her stabbed her through the chest and she woke up.

Juliet couldn't stop crying even as she climbed out of bed. She stumbled out of her room and went into the living room, desperately looking for Jacob and Bella. When she didn't find them, she went outside, not bothering to put her sandals on as she went outside. She didn't have to go very far as she found Jacob and Bella outside. She was too upset to be particularly bothered or surprised that Jacob was kissing Bella rather aggressively. She did, however, cry harder as Bella punched Jacob with all her strength in the mouth and the sound of bone crunching filled the air.

Bella whipped around at the sound of Juliet's sob. "Juliet, are you okay?" She gasped out, clearly in pain as she clutched her hand to her chest. "Don't touch me!" She hissed at Jacob as she stormed over to Juliet. She wrapped her good arm around Juliet and hugged the little girl to her. "Juliet, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

Juliet continued sobbing. "Uncle Jacob…broke your…hand!" She wailed. She couldn't find the words to explain her nightmare right now, nor did she really wish to relive it.

"She broke her own hand." Jacob muttered halfheartedly. "I'll get the car and take you home, Bella."

"I'll walk, thanks." Bella hissed while still trying to figure out what had Juliet so upset.

"Just let me drive you home." Jacob insisted, coming over and placing a hand on Bella's shoulder. He sighed as she shrugged it off and glared angrily at him.

"I'm going to let you drive me home only because I want to see what Edward does to you, you obnoxious DOG!" Bella shouted angrily.

Jacob simply rolled his eyes. He picked Juliet up and walked over to the car with Bella following closely behind. He wiped Juliet's tears from her eyes. "You've never cried like this when you've woken up before. What happened?"

Juliet shook her head, refusing to say anything. She sat in the backseat, hiccupping while Bella continued arguing with Jacob and Jacob simply sat there with a smug smile, occasionally answering her with a quick jab. The whole time, though, he had one hand reached back into the backseat holding Juliet's hand. He rubbed his thumb soothingly over the top of her hand the whole ride to Charlie's house. By the time they pulled up, Juliet had stopped crying and only let out an occasional hiccup.

"Go home, Jacob." Bella hissed, slamming the car door behind her.

"Come on." Jacob said to Juliet, already getting out of the car. "Let's make sure she's okay."

"You shouldn't have done that, Uncle Jacob." Juliet said quietly as she climbed out after him. "It's rude to kiss a girl without permission."

"Thank you, Juliet." Bella smiled at the little girl and held her hand in her good one. "At least someone has some sense around here." She glared at Jacob when he laughed. "I'm going to put ice on my hand, and then call Edward to have him come get me and take me to Carlisle. If you're still here when I'm done with all that, I'm going to beat you with a bat."

"Crowbars work better." Juliet offered.

Jacob didn't say anything as they walked up to the house. He politely held the door open for Bella and Juliet and followed them inside.

Charlie sat up from his spot on the sofa in the living room. "Hey, kids. Nice to see you two again." He smiled at Jacob and Juliet brightly. He blinked as Bella stormed passed with Juliet in tow. "What's wrong with her?"

The two girls could still hear the conversation as Juliet helped Bella make an ice pack. "Do you want me to call Edward for you?" Juliet asked helpfully.

Bella shook her head. "No, I can do it." She dialed Edward's number and quickly explained what had happened.

Juliet shuddered as she heard the murderous promise in Edward's voice as he hung up. "Please don't let Edward kill Uncle Jacob. I know he did something really stupid, but he's a stupid teenage boy. He doesn't know how to properly express himself. That's what my mommy always says about teenage boys."

Bella couldn't help laughing. She stopped when she saw the serious and worried look on Juliet's face. "I won't let him." She promised the little girl. "Though, I do think he deserves a good punching."

"I'll do it." Juliet promised. She winced as she heard a knock at the door, but perked up when she realized Edward wasn't alone. As soon as Bella opened the door, she tackled Matthew and her crying began anew as she remembered her nightmare.

"What's wrong, Juliet?" Matthew asked in alarm, doing his best to ignore how Edward was glaring furiously at Jacob and Jacob was looking rather satisfied with himself.

"She's been having nightmares." Jacob explained finally. "She won't tell anyone what they are. Maybe she'll tell you."

Matthew looked at Juliet questioningly, but received a negative shake as his only answer. He didn't move from the porch even as Edward led Bella to the Volvo. He could hear Jacob's thoughts and knew Jacob wanted to…chat with Edward. Matthew stayed on the porch with Juliet as the little girl continued crying. "Please tell me."

Juliet shook her head again. "I don't want to…" She hiccupped out. Her tears quickly subsided and she simply clung tightly to Matthew until Edward revved his engine, signaling it was time for Matthew to go. She wiped her tears away as Jacob walked back over and gave Matthew a quick kiss on the cheek. "I'll see you soon."

Matthew frowned the whole way over to the Volvo.

"Did she tell you?" Bella asked hopefully.

"No…" Matthew said softly. Juliet had never kept secrets from him before and it bothered him greatly that she was keeping one that upset her so from him. He was determined to figure out what was troubling Juliet so much. He was so focused on his thoughts, he forgot to share with Bella the exciting news that his big sister would be coming to help them fight.
