RECAP:

The spirits were calling her. she could hear the faint whispering of their call. Just a little further. She needed to walk a little further.

She was so close. They were calling her.

Bella. Bella. Bella. Bella.

"Bella! Bella! come back!" a strong voice called.

Bella however ignored the call, but she felt the pull. It was her imprint. Raven.

As she continued, she had to ignore her imprints cries. Right now, the welfare of the tribe and the pack was at stake and that overrode the imprint. it was a blessing and a curse to be the Tribes peacekeeper, her wants and needs came last. The tribe was first. Always first.

Bella kept on moving even though she had no idea where she was going. All she knew was that the forest was getting thicker and thicker.

…

Raven let out a lupine whine as she followed her imprint into the thick forest. she had to phase to keep up with the women. She had no idea where she was going or why, but raven knew she would protect her with her life. Bella had changed her for the better, had taken her in and made her feel not only wanted but loved. Had also taught her things her own mother never had time for, like cooking and baking. She even showed raven how to appreciate a good book. It hurt the teenager to see her imprint so stressed out. Bella had been acting differently since old quill's death and while everyone had shed their tears Bella's stayed dry. Not one tear in sight. Too some it seemed cruel, to others it seems insensitive but to Raven, it was about Bella staying focused. She couldn't afford a moment of grief while the whole tribe could be wiped out at a moment's notice. With that in mind, she followed her imprint to wherever she was running too.

Raven froze as Bella slowly came to a stop. They had been walking for what seemed like hours and she had no idea where they were.

"here." Bella's voice rang out.

Raven looked around and found them to be in some kind of cave. It seemed to stretch for miles.

"Raven…stay here."

…

Sam growled as he Alpha ordered Jared to stay put.

"I understand you are concerned for your mate, but you will not put this pack in jeopardy!"

"ME! MEE! The pack is already in jeopardy Sam! And I wasn't the one who put her in danger! He did!" Jared roared as he gestured to Edward who was being restrained by Emmett.

A loud growl was heard as every head turned to see chocolate brown wolf enter the Cullen's backyard.

"quil?" Sam called in surprise. The grieving wolf hadn't been seen since his grandfather's death. Quill had actually fallen into a dark depression and even the hugs from his young imprint couldn't help.

"I have had enough of watching you assholes argue and fight! WE don't have time! Bella needs your help and support! And yet here you buffoons are fighting like wild animals! It's ridiculous! Now Doctor vamp tell everything we need to know about these other vampires…"

"Bella ran off we need to find her!" Edward urged

Quil turned to Edward and snarled saying.

"Bella has protection all her own! The spirits won't be able to talk to her if you all keep distracting her. Especially you mind reader."

"quills right. We've been distracted enough. Tell us what we need to know." Sam urged.

…..

Bella closed her eyes as the wind began to pick up.

They were close.

"Isabella." a voice called.

Bella's eyes opened and there they were. Glowing in a gold hue.

Ephraim black, Levi uley, Quill Ateara the third and in the middle was taka aki.

"Finally! It's about time you guys appeared."

Taka aki smiled and said "yes little one. We have kept you waiting long enough. Come we have much to discuss."

End Recap

Chapter 33:

Bella felt a sense of relief as the four wolves surrounded her in a half-circle.

"These cold ones that have approached our lands are very ancient and dangerous. Unfortunately, time is not on our side. Isabella…we cannot wait for them to attack us…We must attack them"

Bella's eyes widened.

A head-on attack? Would they be outnumbered?

"We know this is not what you were expecting to hear but we cannot afford to wait any longer. In order to save our people, we must attack."

"How?" Bella asked Taka aki

"Together. Isabella. We fight togather…. no more division."

…

Vladimir hissed as he landed in front of Maria and Stephen. "The Cullen's human pet knows!"

"What in wonders are you talking about brother?" Stephen asked

"See for yourself!"

Stephen frowned and touched his brothers' hand. Immediately, Stephen was sucked into his brother's thoughts. He could see every thought past, future, and present. That was his gift. Similar to their enemies in Volterra. However, Stephen's gift had drawbacks. He could only see someone's thoughts for a certain amount of time and once that time was up, he could remember it no longer. He knew it had something to do with his human life and how he seemed to always want to forget the horrors that happened to him.

"impossible!" Stephen hissed.

"will you bastards tell me what's going on?" Maria screeched.

"The Cullen's pet saw me! she knows we here." Vladimir told her

"THAT'S WHAT YOU TWO ARE UP HERE ARGUING ABOUT! WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS! That little human is weak! she is their weakness. our whole plan was based on taking her out but if you two are too feeble to handle her I will!"

With that said, Maria ran off in the opposite direction.

"darn that woman! Why did we include her Vlad! She is messing up our plans!"

"I know comrade but we just to be a little more patient and we will get rid of her. we just need to use her a little more. Her time will come…"

…

Kim huddled in the corner as all the sounds around her overwhelmed her. She was scared. She was angry. And most of all she wanted to kill the girl with the sweet blood.

"your thirsty."

Kim whipped around to see her guard. He had been standing on the other side of the room with her for a while.

He had curly blond hair and golden eyes with a hint of black.

"let me out of here!" she screeched.

"I can't do that mam."

"yes, you can! LET ME OUT!" she screeched again but this time she jumped up and tried to attack him.

Her attack failed when the same burly man from before restrained her.

"Jas I think you should take a break. Send Edward down here."

The blonde-haired man quickly left and in his place was an angry-looking male. He had bronze hair and was slimly built.

"I figured you could use a break. Any sign of Bella?"

Kim continued to thrash but she wasn't deaf to the conversation.

"no Emmet or I wouldn't be down, here would I?"

"no need to be a smart-ass dude. I was just asking a question. Just read the chick's mind so we can figure out what we need to know."

Kim shuddered as the bronze haired man's eyes laid upon her.

The two men froze a familiar scent permeated the room. It was the scent of arousal and it was geared towards Edward.

And to make matters worse, a yellow-eyed Jared came bursting down into the Cullen's basement.

"I WILL KILL YOU!" HIS WOLF ROARED.

And with that distraction, Kim was set free.
