Bella

Jacob followed behind me as I walked out of the house. He padded his way down the cool stairs as we stopped in front of Jasper. His eyes were almost black and I was glad the wolves were patrolling tonight. I ran my thumb under his baggy eyes and smiled softly at him.

I could tell he was still mad at me, but he managed to smirk. He tucked me into his side and addressed Jacob, "You got it?"

Jake nodded, "Yeah, I've smelled him before when we were hunting down Vicky. Now what?"

"They'll be here by this Sunday and Bella will be in the field with me. Sam and Embry will stand in front of her with Peter and Char. She will be safe." He stated strongly, pulling me tight to him. Jake frowned.

"She can't be in the field. What if she gets hurt?" He crowed, his eyes wide, "Bella, you agreed to this?"

I nodded, "I'll be fine, don't worry." I waved it off. We headed to the field to get practice started for the last time and I stayed off to the side with Jake. I rubbed my hand over his fur and leaned into him.

"This is a big fight." I said quietly in his pointed ear. He breathed out a snort and purred when I scratched behind his ear, "Some of you will get hurt. Some of you will get killed. All because of me." I sighed. Jacob flashed his sharp teeth and lolled his head to the side. I gave a small smile, "I know you'll be fine, but…" I glanced at Jasper who was laughing with Emmett as he brushed the dirt off his dark jeans. Jacob rolled his dark eyes, "I know, I know, but…if he got hurt, I don't know what I'd do."

Jasper walked over and pressed a hard kiss to my lips. His tongue was inside in less than a second and his arms held me tight. His kiss was desperate and urgent and it made me scared. I threaded my hands into his hair and smiled, parting from him.

…

"They're coming through the Olympic Mountains. They have Bella's scent and will be here in less than twenty hours. We all know our positions, correct?" Peter flickered his eyes towards me and I saw a glint of doubt, but it was gone as soon as I saw it.

Jasper tightened his arms around my waist and I breathed out roughly. He was holding a bit too tight, but I knew it was just stress. He didn't want to loose me and I didn't want to loose him. Peter then glanced atCharlotte.

Her eyes flashed with exasperation, "I'll be fine, Peter. Seriously."

He frowned, tucking his hands in his pockets, "I know."

"This is a bad fight, and like I said before, lives will be lost, just don't let it be any of you. I couldn't stand if anyone in this family was hurt or…killed."Carlisle gave fleeting gaze at me and turned away to his office with Esme following behind him.

Rosalie and Emmett went to go hunt, but I knew they were going somewhere else to speak. Edward just sat there, gazing at me and Jasper and his arms around me.

"Would you mind giving us some privacy?" Jasper sneered out, glowering at Edward.

"Sure, I'll wait in the kitchen —" Jasper's anger flowed out.

"Take. A. Walk." He spat and Edward was gone the next second." I sighed and stood. This would be our last night together and before I went home, I wanted to give him something. I sat on the other couch and licked my fingers, Jasper raised his fine brows.

I traveled them down my exposed cleavage, over my top, and down the front of my pants, dipping them beneath the panties. Jasper was up in a flash and turned me over in the next second, pulling down his jeans and thrusting inside of me before I had time to cry out.

…

When I got home, it was late; around eleven. I didn't expect Charlie to be up, but he was, sitting at the kitchen table, a beer next to him, and papers all over the wooden board. He glanced up at me with tired eyes and offered a smile. I gave one back and sat down next to him.

"What is it?" I asked quietly. He peered at me and took a sip of his beer.

"Just a open case that's been going on for a year now. Riley Simons; his parents came to speak with me and offered an award if anyone found him." He explained briefly.

"Why don't you just give up?" I was pondering the fact. If he gave up, the family could move on, find peace. If he was gone for a year now, anything could've happened to him. Anything.

He stared into my eyes with such intensity I blushed. My dad was a man of few words and kept his emotions to himself most of the times, but now he was gazing at me like he would hug me and never let go.

"If anything ever happened to you, I wouldn't give up. I don't know what I'd do without you, Bells." His voice was soft, but strong and it made tears well up in my eyes. If anything happened to me in that battle…

What about Charlie? What about Renée? Jasper…?

I got up and wrapped my arms around him, holding him close, "Love you, daddy."

"I love you, too, baby girl."

…

When I woke up in the morning, someone was shaking me. I blinked furiously a few times and concentrated my eyes on Peter's worried face. He lifted me up gently, but his eyes were panicked.

"Get dressed." He ordered swiftly and quietly.

"Why?" My heart accelerated as he threw some loose shorts my way and a t shirt. I slithered them over my underwear and quickly put my hair up in a tight ponytail, my bangs falling into my face. He grabbed my arm and jumped out of the window. I screamed when I felt him let go momentarily, but I landed safely in his arms. He took off into a run before I could even say anything.

"Peter!" I shouted as he slowed in the middle of the forest. The sun was just coming up, it was early, "What's going on? Is it Jasper?" My mind immediately went to him, dead, no life, not moving. I started to panic.

Peter grabbed me tightly by the arms and shook me a little, forcing me to look in his burgundy eyes, "Jasper is fine. But, last night Emmett and Edward saw the army coming in from Seattle. They will be here in exactly five minutes!"

My eyes widened fearfully, "They're early. Where are the others?" I glanced around, my eyes searching for any vampires.

"In the field. Bella, it rained last night and washed some of your scent away. I need you to lead them towards you. When they are close enough, go to the clearing." He explained.

"What? Are you fucking crazy?" I screamed. He was telling me to run from fucking vampires!

"Maybe. Bella, sweetheart, I need you to focus though. Like Eleazar told you. Don't let your shield get ahead of you." He bent down to my level, his eyes deadly serious, "Do. Not."

I blinked and nodded. The field was only a mile away from here. I could make it. Peter held my face between his hands and gave my forehead a kiss, "Do not let us down, Bella. And," He smiled briefly, "try not to fall." Even at times like this he could find a way to be an ass. I stuck my tongue out at him as he grinned.

"I'll do my best."

He was gone the next second. My heart was thundering in my chest and I was sweating profusely. I waited, and waited, and waited and then my shield buzzed, warning me of danger. They were close. I took off in the other direction, running for my life. I pushed weeds and branches out of my way, desperate to find the light that would lead me to the clearing.

My shield zapped against my skin and I turned my head slightly to see at least twenty of them. They were still far away, but they could kill me whenever. I broke right through the plants and saw all the Cullen's and wolves looking extremely bad ass as I sprinted over to them.

Jasper took me in his arms and put me behind him defensively, "When?"

Peter glanced at his watch comically, "Oh, about…" The newborns broke through, ravenous expressions on their face, "Now." He snatched me up and ran towards Charlotte, who winked at me. I was placed behind them protectively as they slid into crouches.

First my eyes landed on Rosalie and Emmett. Rosalie grabbed a woman in an headlock and Emmett smashed his fist down on her head, causing it to snap right off. I cringed. Second, Carlisle and Esme; Esme was dashing around, elbowing and smashing as many faces as she could. A newborn snuck up behind her and Carlisle immediately ended him. The wolves came barreling out of the woods, roaring and landing on the people. They seemed surprised.

Jasper was the last and I gasped at what I saw. He was fluent at what he did. He pushed a newborn onto her knees and ended her with a sickening crack. He threw another in the air and Paul sunk his teeth into his body. Jasper ran forward as a newborn pinned down Embry and detached his head from his carcass. A particular vampire must've smelled me because his head shot up in my direction and he sprinted forward. Jasper wasn't allowing that and landed onto the newborn's back, yanking his arms from his body.

He met my stare for a moment and winked rather cheekily before going back to work. Char and Peter were graceful, almost like they were dancing. They made sure no one got past them and actually managed to kiss every time they switched positions.

Everyone was focused on the battle, not me. Well, maybe Char, Peter, and Jasper, but no one else. So no one really saw a flash of white snatch me up. I screamed and found Jasper's eyes. He was decapitating a newborn and his honey orbs immediately turned fearful when he heard my shriek.

Peter was the first to turn as the man who carried me ran through the woods. He had me tucked to his side like a bag or something. Peter reached for me and I outstretched my hand. We were almost there when he was attacked by a flash of white and black. He stumbled to the ground and fell into the stream the man jumped over.

He landed with me roughly and I huffed out a wheezing breath. I beat at his hard body, but nothing seemed to work. He was a vampire after all. My shield was not cooperating with me, like it was being controlled by someone else.

He finally came to a stop and I glanced up to see his face. I gasped when I saw who it was. That guy, the intruder that came into my house. I cursed at him, beating on his back, and demanding him to let me go. He threw me to the ground and I fell on my ass ungracefully.

We were on a deserted road, a black SUV in front of us. I refused to get in. I needed to get back to Jasper. As I reached for my phone in my pocket, he snatched it up and smiled, cursing it in his masculine hand.

"You fucking bastard!" I shouted at him.

He gripped me by the arm tightly and pushed me into the passenger side. His hands were a blur around me as he locked my hands together with a fine material. I tried to tear my way out of the handcuffs or whatever the hell they were, but it wouldn't budge. I snarled at him as he smirked and got into the driver's side.

"Buckle up, Isabella. This is going to be a long ride." He brushed his hand against my cheek as he buckled me in tightly. He started the car and took off.

This…was not good.
