Hey everyone! Who's ready for a little action? :D I hope that you are because this chapter has a little action in it and is going to get everything moving along-which means...a fight is coming up? :D This chapter is longer than the last one, which I am really, really, really sorry about. I'm going to try to make sure that the chapters are longer from now on. :D

Enjoy!

I look back at the doorway and see my dad standing there, with a shocked expression on his face. My cheeks would be bright red right now if they could be, but what can I really do? Should I really have to apologize for this when I was doing it at my house and with my husband? After we got married I thought that it would be more obvious that we were going to do things that he wouldn't like, of course not making him any grandchildren. This seems like a given to me, so why would he just walk into my house? The way that he looks at me, I know that he's embarrassed too and that gives me some hope that we can just act like this never happened. Maybe we should get a double bolt for the door...

Edward sets me down on the floor, wrapping his arms around my waist and holding me to him, as my eyes flicker to who the two people are. My eyes go wide as I see that Kris and Landon are with him, two of the kids who were sent to live with Billy. A second later, Reba's head pops into the mix and I shake my head a few times. What's going on? Why are they here? Could they possibly be siding with Melanie or are they here to kill us? From the second that I met the three of them, I knew that they were trouble.

"Charlie, what's going on? Is something wrong?" asks Edward, his voice is soft and full of concern. His arms stay wrapped around me and I know that something's wrong. My back is pressed right up against his chest, making me feel a little better. "How's Renee doing? She's getting pretty far along in her pregnancy, isn't she? We can't wait to see the baby and watch him or her grow."

"She's doing fine and would love for Bella to call her, when she can of course. I hear about it every time that she calls," mumbles my dad, making me smile a little. Leave it to Edward to make my dad seem a little more at ease, which I'm extremely thankful for. "Actually, Billy wanted me to see if I could find some good influences for these three and I thought of you two-of course your family too, Edward. They need a little more guidance and I promise to give you all of the details later on. What do you two say?"

"Dad..." That's the only thing that I can say right now and I turn around in Edward's arms to look at him. I try to get him to look me in the eyes, but his eyes are locked on the three wolves standing at our front door. "Edward, look at me, please? For a minute?"

"Bella, they've sided with him-we can't take our eyes off of them for a second. Why don't you take your father into the kitchen and I'll take care of those three?" His lips are close to my ear, but his eyes stay on the three of them. I shake my head and he tries to smile at my dad, before I can stop him he asks, "Charlie, why don't you go into the kitchen with Bella? I think that my mom just dropped some food off here last night. Some of your favorites and you can help yourself to anything."

My dad shrugs, than he gestures for me to go into the kitchen with him. I look at Edward, cursing him in my mind and trying to think of a way out of this. Why is he sending me in the kitchen with my dad? If I leave him out here alone, he'll be out numbered and I know that I can't leave him, not because I don't believe in him, but because I belong right beside him. We have to fight together, as a team. Being separated makes us weak and we won't win than.

I almost jump when the kitchen door swings open and out walks Jasper. He smiles at everyone and gestures for Charlie to go into the kitchen, saying that mom is cooking up something really good. Alice, Emmett and Carlisle come out of the kitchen, saying quick, "hi"'s and waving at Charlie. This earns me a weird look from my dad and I know why. He thinks that all of them were in the kitchen while Edward and I were...

Rosalie comes walking out and basically drags him into the kitchen, making me shake my head. Alice, Jasper and Emmett all stare at the wolves. For the first time, Edward looks down into my eyes and kisses me. I stare into his eyes and know that he wants me to go into the kitchen, to be away from the fight. His gaze flickers back to the three wolves and a small smile flickers onto my lips. Is he really giving into this? Does he really believe that I can fight beside him? Maybe you can work through anything if you try hard enough.

"We're just here to give you a message, no need to call in all of the forces. Obviously, you don't have that many good ones to choose from," comments Kris, before a fake yawn slips out of her lips. She looks over at Edward, right into his eyes and just smiles. "Jacob intends to kill you, all of you...except for that one right there, of course. No one really understands his obsession for you, but we know what he believes and I'm guessing that you want to know what that is? He thinks that if Mr. Bloodsucker was out of the way, he could imprint on you and you'd fall in love with him, forgetting all about...this guy. Personally, I don't care..."

I glare at her, a snarl escapes from my lips as I think about all of the ways to rip her to pieces. A long death would be the ideal one for her. "Why are you here then? You obviously don't agree with him, so I don't see what you'll gain from this. Just to be a messenger? Wow, you're high up on his list, aren't you?"

"I'm here so that I can kill some bloodsuckers and after Jacob gets his heart broken by you, he'll let me kill you too. You're the one who I really want to kill anyways." She continues to smile and I stare at her, not understanding why she hates me so much. "Melanie might not see through your little act, but I do. She seems to think that any promise that she made to Jacob while you were human, is still in tact...but its not. You're all going to die, one by one and I'll be laughing through the whole thing-"

My arms are around her in just a second, crushing her bones and my teeth sink into her neck. She lets out a light gasp and falls to the floor, limp. Reba and Landon both come at me, but neither of them make it close enough to touch me. Edward and Jasper throw the two of them out the front door. I look down at Kris, who starts to whimper, a light sound and it registers in my mind what I've just done. Another wolf, bitten and can't change. Her siblings are going to try to kill me and now we know that she's not dead...

Carefully, I listen intently to the sound of her heartbeat, which is racing. I stare down at her and she lunges at me, but her body falls back onto the ground. She lunges again, this time trying to phase and falls right back onto the ground. Her heart is beating, slowly. Each second it gets slower, until it only beats every other second, than once every few seconds. One last 'thud' and her heart stops completely.

'I killed someone! I killed her! Oh, shit! Now Landon, Reba and the others are going to come after us! Why didn't I control myself? Why couldn't I control myself? After all of this time and now is when I loose control? That's great, just GREAT! And with Char-NO! I did not just really fight and kill someone, with my dad in the next room! Surly he must have heard something! Oh no! Now we're going to have to hide the body and fast. Then we'll have to do something about the other two, they'll tell if they get the chance and we can't allow them to tell.'

"Bella? Honey, are you okay?" I look over at the kitchen door and see my dad, standing there with a plate in his hand. A sandwich loaded with everything on it, sits in the middle of the plate. He walks over to the couch and sits down, his eyes staying on me the whole time. "Is something wrong? You look like you've done something wrong and like you're about to get sick."

"What? Huh?" I start to turn around in circles, frantically looking for the body that was there just a few seconds ago, but its no where in sight. Edward's arms capture me, pulling me into him and he kisses me on the top of my head. "I don't understand..."

"Bella, honey-maybe you should go lay down for a few minutes? I think that you might be coming down with something." He turns to my dad as Alice walks over to me, gently taking my hand in her's. Edward nods his head a few times, staring at Alice-something that my dad misses. "Alice, I can take Bella and you can stay here with Charlie. It'll only take me a few minutes and she looks pretty tired, aren't you sweetie?"

Edward leads me into our room and shuts the door, letting out a deep breath. He pinches the bridge of his nose and takes a few deep breaths, trying to calm himself. I wrap my arms around his waist and one his arms wrap around me. After a few seconds he opens his eyes and kisses me, once lightly on the top of my head. We stay like this for a few minutes, both of us trying to grasp what really happened back there.

"I...I didn't mean to kill her or hurt her. After she said all of those things I just...snapped," I whisper, snuggling my face against his neck. My whole mind feels like a tornado just went through it, leaving all of my thoughts scattered and I can't understand them right now. "Edward, why did I kill her? After all this time, shouldn't I be able to stay in control? So much for my perfect record..."

He kisses me, once on the lips. "Bella, you have a clean record with humans. Wolves, not so much anymore. You're doing a good job and don't beat yourself up over this. Her body is never going to be found and we already took care of it, everything will be fine. One little mistake and it showed us something. They stay alive until they try to phase or until the venom is too much on their bodies."

"This isn't something small, Edward. I killedsomeone and with my father in the next room! How didn't he hear what was going on?" My fingers go to my hair, tangling and I start pulling at it. Edward's hands take mine and he pulls them away from my hair, making me look into his eyes. "What if my dad finds out? If he finds out then we'll have to leave and I'll never be able to see him again. How great would that be? His own daughter killed someone, when she shouldn't have thought about anything illegal."

"This is why I wanted to keep you out of the fight. You're strong, but you had that innocence and I think that you'll be the most affected by this," he whispers into my hair. My eyes shut and I think about all of this, I have to be strong and show him that I can do this-fight. "Bella, I love you and as soon as you killed Kris, the pain showed. You are not a killer and I don't want you to feel like you have to do those things."

I push away from him and try to smile. Now only if I could act like it didn't bother me at all. "Kris had to be killed, but not in the way that I killed her. Her death should have been quick and painless, don't you agree? No one deserves a death like her's. I can handle this, okay? Fighting, I can handle. The first time was just...a little shocking."

"Look at me and listen to me. Bella, you don't have to do this. Some people are not made to fight and kill, that is not who you are." His voice is soft and velvety, which I know means that he's trying to get me to not do something. "Can't you just stand back and let us take care of it? You're not weak just because you can't stand killing someone, that just means that you're not a fighter."

"Edward," I whisper against his lips. The smile on his lips lets me know that he thinks that he's won. "I...I can't...not fight. At the war, I'll be right beside you and fighting."

Shock flashes into his eyes and I kiss him on the lips. Turning away from him, I walk over to the door and out of the room, before he can say anything else. I'm going to fight no matter what. I'm going to stand beside him and not be kept away.

Woo! Okay, sorry about a few of the shorter chapters for this story-hopefully this makes up for it a little? I hope that this chapter was a lot better and that all of you liked it. :D This chapter had me in a totally different mind frame, which I think I'll be in for a while. Who's ready for some wolves vs. vampires? :D Hopefully I cleared everything up with this chapter, if not let me know and I'll make sure to get everything explained. Thank you for reading and please leave a review. :D

PLEASE READ~I'm going to keep trying to update once a week, but they might be later and not like normal. Since its summer and lots of things are coming up. See all of you next week. :D
