Siobhan!" Isabella cheered as she and Rosalie returned from their trip to the mall and had made their way into the Cullen's house meeting the group minus Edward and Bella in the living room. Isabella paid no attention to the others in the room as she threw her arms around Siobhan and hugged her enthusiastically. Not only did she always love to see the vampire but if Siobhan was here that meant they were able to find Maggie and Isabella was one step closer to getting home. Hopefully they would find Garrett soon and she wouldn't miss her entire anniversary

Siobhan wasn't sure what to do about the vampire currently attaching themselves to her but figured it had to be the Isabella woman they had been told about. She awkwardly patted her on the back and pushed her away. "It's nice to meet you."

Isabella sighed. "Oh Siobhan always so prickly. No matter where or when I meet you, you never greet me with a smile. Why if I was less secure in knowing your love for me I would honestly think you hated me."

"What?" Siobhan asked confused. She had been told Isabella was a bit strange but she wasn't excepting this.

"Don't worry about." Isabella looked at the rest of the vampires in the room and focused on Maggie and Irina who were cuddled up on the love seat. "It seems you have been united with your mate Irina, congratulations."

Irina tore her eyes away from Maggie's." Yes I did and I have you to thank for that."

"No need, it was the right thing to do." Isabella waved away the gratitude. She would have never left Irina here with a false mate. No one deserved that. Especially when that false mate was Laurent.

"Why do you smell like human food?" Emmett asked Rosalie as she kissed him softly in greeting.

Rosalie thought about what to say and decided to just go with the truth. Even with blocked minds she doubted something as huge as eating human food would be kept secret for long. "I was eating human food."

"Gross." Emmett scrunched his nose in disgust. " Why would you want to do that?"

"Isabella gave me a liquid that allows vampires to eat human food like they were human. You can taste everything like you had human taste buds and the liquid she gave me helps our venom break down the food so we don't throw it up." Rosalie told the group.

"Interesting." Carlisle said. "So you're saying you were able to eat human food with no problems and that you could taste the actual flavors?"

"Yes. We spend the last few hours eating in the food court at the mall. We had these things called dip and dots that were amazing. It's a type of ice cream that is somehow fused into little balls the size of bbs. When you eat a spoonful they taste just like ice cream. It was incredible." Rosalie said.

"I enjoyed the jalapeño poppers the best. Though the onion rings weren't to bad." Isabella really would have to find an onion plant to take home with her.

"So what you are saying is now Isabella has magic potions that make us partially human?" Emmett asked.

"Well they aren't magic." Isabella corrected. "They are just made with ingredients not found in most dimensions."

"Who cares if it's not real magic, the thing we should be focusing on is do you have any more and can I try it to?" Alice asked. She was already mid planning a romantic date with Jasper after he got his gift under control that now included dinner at a fancy restaurant.

Isabella shook her head. "I'm sorry I don't have any left I gave the rest to Rosalie so you will have to ask her."

Rosalie felt all eyes on her. She knew the polite thing to do was share with the others but the gift had been given to her by Isabella to make her happy. "I only have a few. Not enough for everyone."

"Maybe you would be willing to let me have some to study it, to see if we can make our own." Carlisle was thinking how revolutionary such a thing would be for the vampire world. They wouldn't have to force themselves to eat meals in front of humans just to keep suspicion away from themselves. For him personally it would be nice to not have to throw up the meals he was served at the many hospital banquets he attended.

"We'll see." Rosalie said not promising anything. Maybe before she left she could ask Isabella to bring more back for her when she returned with the daggers. She also wanted to ask her to bring back some car parts even an engine would be amazing but she didn't want to over step her bounds to much. Isabella had already been reluctant to come back with the daggers so she didn't want her to think Rosalie was taking advantage of her.

"Isabella I was wondering if you had any information about the three of us like you had with the others." Seeing Isabella's confused look Liam explained. "We were told of your help training Kate and Jasper's gifts as well as confirming an overlooked one in Rosalie. We were wondering what you knew of us."

Nodding in understanding Isabella spoke. "Well let's see you Liam are a strategist, Siobhan has the ability to continue building muscle mass and then there is Maggie's gift of truth detection and manipulation."

"Vampire's bodies don't change Isabella. We can't build muscle mass." Eleazar told her. This was the one thing he was sure Isabella was wrong about. Vampires were frozen in the body they had when they were turned. You could only take away from a vampire's body not add to it.

"What do you mean truth manipulation?" Maggie asked at the same time Eleazar spoke.

"First off vampire's bodies do have the ability to change just not usually naturally. There are many different things that can modify a vampire's body to give it enhancements. I believe the traleif I gave Rosalie is proof enough of that." Isabella told a surprised Eleazar. She then addressed Maggie's question. "As to manipulation, you have the ability to tell if someone is telling the truth. The second part of your gift is you also have the ability to make someone believe anything you are saying as absolute truth."

"So I could make anyone in this room believe anything I say?" Maggie hadn't really tried to do much with her gift as vampires usually only had one gift.

Isabella nodded. "Although I can personally block your gift and Rosalie's, the block I placed on others won't. Not because I couldn't modify it to but because I have always trusted both you and Rosalie not to misuse your gifts. Plus the numerous pranks I've seen the both of you pull using them are hilarious."

"That's just great." Kate threw her hands up in the air. "I get my ability to use my gift on others blocked and Rosalie doesn't."

Rosalie smirked and shot Kate a wink. "Payback's a bitch Kate."

"Have I told you what a wonderful person you are lately, Rosalie?" Kate asked sweetly. "I don't think I have expressed how much I admire the way you never hold a grudge."

Irina laughed at Kate's predicament. They always had to deal with Kate's antics and now it seemed not only were they immune to Kate's gift but Irina's own mate had a way of messing with Kate. Rosalie was right payback was a bitch. "Can you help Maggie with her gift? That is if you want help sweetheart?"

Maggie smiled shyly at the term of endearment. "Yes I would appreciate some help as I do not have a clue how to go about using it."

"Actually I think Rosalie would be the best to help you. Your gifts work in similar ways. The only real difference is that Rosalie can compel someone to do something and you can convince them what you're saying is true. You both manipulate the brain just different parts of it." Isabella told them.

"Would you be willing to explain what you meant when you said Siobhan had the gift of increasing muscle mass?" Liam asked very interested in what Isabella was telling them. If Maggie could learn the new aspect of her gift that would make their coven even more powerful. "Also you said I was a strategist. What kind of gift is that?"

"Well I should first tell you that neither of those things are gifts. "Isabella said. "As for you being a strategist Liam, it is exactly that. Your mind is set up to analyze any situation and factor in all components to always turn any situation you are in into a positive one for yourself. Your brain is specifically wired that way. I bet when you were human you were a leader of many people."

"I was." Liam confirmed. "I led an army against the English when they tried to take over my village and many others."

"There you have it. Siobhan your ability is also not a gift. Something simply happened to your body when you were changed. Whatever made up your human body reacted differently than a normal human would when venom was introduced into your blood stream." Isabella explained.

Siobhan thought this through. "How could that be though? I've never heard of a vampire that could gain muscle mass before."

"If it isn't common knowledge that vampires' bodies can change then they probably didn't know." Isabella shrugged. "You didn't. Then again how many vampires continue working out after they are turned."

"I guess that makes sense." Eleazar agreed. "But still you said there were different substances that could enhance a vampire's body what are some of those?"

Isabella sighed. "I would love to talk to you all about that but I need to know how finding Garrett is going. I am enjoying my time here with all of you but not only do I wish to be reunited with my mate and my Rosalie, I'm also really close to missing my entire anniversary. As of now I've only got about 12 hours in my dimension to go before the day is over."

"Oh yeah. I had a vision of him going into a bar but we haven't been able to figure out where the bar is located." Alice told her. She really didn't want Isabella to leave but she understood her need to. Alice herself wouldn't want to be away from her mate for unknown amounts of times in places she couldn't have contact with Jasper at all.

"Great. Now how about I help you guys with the blocks I assume you want and then I will be happy to talk to you Eleazar." Isabella told the group. She was usually a very upbeat person but this trip was starting to wear on her. Looking at her watch that was set to her dimensions time she estimated they had about until sundown the next day to find Garrett before she would miss out completely on her anniversary. Although Tanya would be understanding Isabella knew she would be upset if she missed it completely. Especially if Edward and her sisters were the reason the trip took so long.

"I found Garrett!" Alice exclaimed excitedly as she rushed into the garage where Isabella had been spending time with Rosalie. Although many of them had wanted to talk to Isabella the woman was obviously starting to lose her patience with the whole situation. Isabella had done the blocks for the Irish coven and had spoken briefly to Eleazar but she was distracted. Everyone knew it was getting close to her anniversary ending so Alice had locked herself in her room and meditated trying to get any visions she could hoping one would be of Garrett. Six hours later and she was finally successful.

"That's wonderful news." Isabella really needed to get home and if they found Garret then she was one step closer to doing so. "Where is he?"

"Oddly enough he is actually close. He is in Colorado." Alice told her.

"How fast can we get there?" Isabella asked.

"It would be faster if we could run but if we wish to remain unseen then driving it would take about 14 to 18 hours depending on road conditions and if we are able to drive at high speeds. It would take a human about 22 hours to drive there." Alice said.

Isabella sighed. She could easily leave now that they knew where Garrett was but she knew that her coven wouldn't be happy with her if she didn't make sure the mates actually got together. That left only one option. "I can shield Kate so that we can run together without being seen. Then as soon as they meet I can go home from there."

"Can I come with you?" Rosalie asked. She didn't want Isabella to leave but knew she had to. Rosalie had been enjoying their time together and would miss Isabella greatly when she left. She wanted to be able to spend as much time together as they could before that happened.

"Of course you can." Isabella wouldn't deny Rosalie anything. Even if it wasn't her Rosalie. She and this dimensions Rosalie had become rather close, closer than she usually got with people in other dimensions. She to was going to miss this Rosalie when she had to leave.

"Great so why don't we go tell the others the plan." Alice said as she led the two other vampires out of the garage into the living room. When they entered the room became quiet as if they all knew what was going to be said was important. "I found Garrett."

Kate perked up hearing this. She was happy for her sisters but was beginning to feel jealous of them having found their mates. Especially since she knew that Isabella was telling the truth of knowing who hers was. "That's great when do I get to meet him?"

"He is in Colorado right now." Isabella told her. "As it would be quicker to run there and I don't want to travel there by vehicle I would like to take Kate with me and run there ourselves."

"Won't humans see you?" Emmett asked.

Isabella shook her head. "No I can shield us from being seen. Even during the daytime."

"That's so cool." Emmett began losing himself in thoughts of what he would do with that type of gift.

"Indeed it is." Tanya agreed. She wondered if when her mate was turned she would be able to do the same. That reminded her that she still hadn't had her conversation with Isabella about her returning to train her mate.

"Great when do we leave?" Kate asked.

"I'm ready as soon as you are." Isabella wanted to get there as quickly as they could, leaving immediately was her preference.

"Would it be alright if I went with you?" Tanya wanted to go not only to get a chance to talk to Isabella but to support her sister. She of course believed that Garrett was Kate's mate but incase they didn't find him or needed help she wanted to be there. It was also her place as coven leader to meet with the new member.

"As Rosalie is coming as well I don't have a problem with it. I just want to go soon." Isabella said.

"If Rosalie is going then I'm going. If that is alright of course?" Emmett added when he received a raised eyebrow from Isabella.

Isabella sighed when she saw Rosalie giving her a pleading look. They would move faster with less vampires but Emmett was Rosalie's mate so she would of course let him come. "You can come if you can keep up."

"Yes." Emmett cheered. He couldn't wait to see what it was like to be invisible. In his mind it was the closest thing to being a superhero he could get as he had no gifts of his own. Other gifts only affected him. He never got a chance to actually use them. "I'm going to mess with so many humans."

"You are not going to mess with anybody. We are guests on this trip. You will behave." Rosalie scolded him. She loved Emmett's goofy side but didn't want him doing anything to upset Isabella. She hadn't gotten a chance to tell him about the daggers and other stuff she talked about with Isabella. Rosalie wanted to make sure Emmett didn't make Isabella not come back. She doubted that Isabella would go back on her promise but didn't want to risk it.

"Lame." Emmett huffed.

"Everyone who is going get ready so we can leave soon. I just want to say good bye to my mate." Tanya said as she and the others went to change.

"I wish you could stay longer." Eleazar was sad that their time with Isabella had come to an end. They had learned so much from her and he knew it wasn't even a fraction of her knowledge. She had unlimited dimensions to learn new things from and he couldn't imagine what she had seen.

"I know, but I really want to get back to my mate. As it is she is going to be extremely upset with Edward and her sisters for keeping me here." Isabella told them.

"Is there any way to get in touch with you after you get home?" Carlisle asked. He was thinking the same thing as Eleazar. Her knowledge on different ways to alter a vampire's make up was revolutionary. As a man of science learning that a vampire wasn't just frozen in the state they were turned in had disproved most of the things he learned in all the centuries he was alive. He would have to have Esme ask Rosalie for some of the substance Isabella gave her to eat because he could tell Rosalie was reluctant to part with it. He didn't blame Rosalie though, he to would want to keep it for himself.

"The only way that I will come here not by choice is if Tanya or Bella is in danger. The reason I was pulled here unexpectedly was because Edward was going to kill Bella soon." Isabella explained.

Carlisle flinched at hearing how close his son had come to almost killing Bella. He had noticed the boy's behavior had become slightly on the obsessive side but had thought it was because his mate was a human. Now knowing they weren't mates Carlisle realized that his son was simply protecting his kill. It explained why he was so adamant that no vampire be alone with Bella. "Well as much as I would like to see you again let's hope you choose to visit and that no one is in danger."

"Thank you for all of your help especially with Jasper." Alice gave Isabella a hug goodbye. She had allowed Isabella to give her the block earlier after she was confident that Jasper had made enough progress to try on others. Now that he couldn't feel any of their emotions except for Bella's he was like a totally different person. She had even seen him laugh at a joke Emmett told. She was so excited for him to go to school the next day to try it out on the humans.

Irina hugged Isabella next. "Thank you for helping me find my mate. I will be forever in your debt."

Isabella waved off the thanks. "No thanks was needed. You deserved to be with your soul mate."

"We are ready." Kate said as she ran down the stairs with the Rosalie, Emmett and Tanya following after her.

"It was nice meeting you all. I would say I would see you again but I don't know if that is true. If I don't, try to keep Tanya and Bella out of trouble. I have a feeling this pair of dimensional soul mates are going to be a handful." Isabella said as she made her way out the door with the others behind her.

Garret was having a pretty good night. He had spent his time in a bar watching the humans looking for the perfect meal. After watching a man drink enough whisky to get himself drunk Garrett decided that he was the perfect mark. Many vampires didn't take the time to really enjoy the subtle flavors human blood contained. Garrett did though and his favorite was when the blood was laced with hard liquor. He preferred the victim to drink scotch but whisky was better than cheap beer in his opinion. So when the man made to leave on his own Garrett felt like his luck was with him.

Garrett was now cursing that same luck as just as he was following the human through the parking lot Garrett was slammed into from the side and tackled to the ground. As he tried to fight off the attacker he felt his body start to convulse as what felt like electricity flowed through his body. He didn't know who he had offended to get this sort of treatment but felt himself hoping he wasn't about to die when he heard a voice yell out. "Don't kill him Kate that's Garrett."

"Well how the hell was I suppose to know that." Kate said as she held Garrett down. She wasn't against human drinkers, none of those with her were but Kate just couldn't stand by while an innocent man's life was taken. There were many scumbags around that deserved that kind of treatment more than some sad drunk guy. The human was even responsible enough to take a cab home.

Garrett gasped in relief when the electricity flowing through his body suddenly stopped. He was still being held facedown in the pavement but at least he was no longer hurting. What was curious though was he didn't recognize the voices of the two women who had spoke. There were to many humans around to pick up their specific scents so that was no help either. "Not to sound rude but who the fuck are you people?"

"Oh yeah sorry. Here let me just roll you over." Kate rolled the man over and finally got a good look at him. He was just like the man in the picture Isabella showed them but this Garrett's hair was shorter. It was shaggy reaching a little above his ears the top longer than the back and sides. When Kate finally got over her examination of his hair she looked into the man's eyes and froze. She had found her mate. Isabella was telling the truth of that she had no doubt anymore. That small aching feeling of loneliness that had been haunting her since she was turned left as soon as she saw the brilliant crimson red eyes in front of her.

Garrett froze looking into the gold eyes above him. He had met many mated couples before and thought their stories of instant love and devotion were crap. He couldn't find it in himself to believe in love at first sight. Oh how wrong he had been. He wasn't sure who this magnificent creature above him was but he was sure that she was the meaning to his existence. "I don't know who you are but my name is Garrett and I will follow you anywhere you go."

Tanya watched as Kate just laid on top of Garrett not saying anything. She knew how it felt when you first met your mate but selfishly she wanted to get back to her own and if the way Isabella had kept glancing at her watch meant anything she wasn't the only one. "Kate how about you let him up and the both of you can talk properly."

"Kate? That's a beautiful name." Garrett stood up with help from the blond woman. Looking around he noticed four others standing back watching them. "May I ask who you are and why you attacked me?"

"We had information that you were Kate's mate and when we learned of where you were we came to find you. As to why we attacked you Kate can answer that." Tanya said.

Kate would have blushed if she could have. Her sisters were never going to let her live down the fact that she attacked her mate before even speaking to him. "I didn't want you to kill the innocent human. There are enough bad ones around that I didn't think it fair for you to kill him."

"Ok that doesn't explain who you are and how you knew I was your mate." Though he was thankful to find his mate, Garrett found this whole situation confusing.

"I am Tanya, the leader of Kate's coven." Tanya waved her hand at the rest of the group. "These are Rosalie, her mate Emmett and Isabella. Isabella isn't from around here but has a gift. A side effect of that gift is she has the knowledge of many mated couples. She has helped myself and our other sister Irina find our mates over the past few days. With the help of Rosalie's and Emmett's coven mate who is a seer we tracked you down."

"Regardless how, thank you for uniting me with my mate." Garrett looked to Kate trying to figure out what to do. "Now what?"

Isabella let out a sigh of relief. "Now I finally get to go home."

"I really wish you didn't have to." Rosalie said sadly. They hadn't gotten a real chance to talk to each other on the run here because they were going as fast as they could so they would get to Garrett in time.

"I know but I will see you soon. Well maybe not soon. It will depend on where I get pulled to next." Isabella told her.

"Actually before you go I had wanted to ask you for a favor. I don't even know if you can but would you be willing to come back when my mate is turned to help her train with her shield?" Tanya asked. She almost felt bad asking Isabella as the woman had already done so much for them but she really wanted her mate to be able to protect herself.

"I am coming back to give Rosalie her daggers so if she is changed by then I don't see a problem with staying for a couple days to help out." Isabella didn't want to take to many trips away from her mate but if the girl was already turned it wouldn't be that big of a deal.

"Wait you are making Rosalie daggers?" Emmett asked seeing Isabella nod he began to get excited. "Are they going to be made out of vampire venom?"

"Yes although she has to learn how to use them on her own as I don't have enough time to train her." Isabella said.

"If you are coming back do you think you could make me something to?" Emmett was already planning in his head all the fun he could have with a sword or some knives.

"Emmett!" Rosalie hissed. "She has already done enough for us as it is. Don't take advantage of her kindness."

"It's ok." Isabella assured Rosalie. "If I have time I will try to make you something. I will just work with my Emmett to see what works best. That is only if I have time though and if I don't get leaving now I'm going to miss my anniversary. If that happens I am going to be making it up to my Tanya for months."

Rosalie stepped forward and gave Isabella a hug. "I am going to miss you. Thank you for everything you have done for us and me personally."

Tanya stepped up when Rosalie stepped back and gave Isabella a hug also. "I owe you a great debt. Not only did you unite me and my sisters with our mates but you got Irina out of a false mate bond, helped Kate with her gift and gave us a way to protect our entire coven from the Voltari's most powerful gifted guard members. If you ever need anything be sure to call on me and I will give you whatever help I can."

"You don't owe me anything. It's because I love you so much that I came here." Isabella told her. "Your happiness is my greatest goal. It always will be."

Tanya nodded her head and gave Isabella a smile to choked up to speak. She hadn't really allowed herself to think about her connection to Isabella because of all the things that had happened since she showed up in Alaska. Now though she realized that she and Bella had a great love story. Not as great as Isabella and her Tanya but great within it's own right and Tanya would spend the rest of her life being thankful that fate had decided that she needed to be with her mate.

"With that, it was nice meeting you Emmett, Kate and Garrett. I will see you around." Isabella said as she focused on her bond with her Tanya. She felt her gift flare to life and with a deep breath she slipped away from that dimension.

"What the hell was that?" Garrett asked as they all watched Isabella shimmer away in a bright light.

"That was Isabella's gift at work. It means she really is gone." Rosalie was happy that Isabella finally got to go home but she wasn't lying when she said she was going to miss the vampire. It made her want to give Bella a chance at friendship even if it wouldn't exactly be the same. She wished that she could actually go on some of Isabella's travels with her because she was sure she would see amazing things.

Seeing Garrett's confusion Kate explained. "Isabella has the gift to travel to different dimensions. She travels to each one to unite that dimension's version of herself with her true mate which is Tanya. Along the way if she sees others she knows that aren't with their true mates she unites them as well."

"Dimensional travel? That sounds wild." Garrett had never heard of anything of the sort before but the adventurer in him was intrigued by it. " Does she take people with her to other dimensions?"

Rosalie shook her head. "The only living thing she can travel with is plant life. Which reminds me we need to get some onion plants for her when she comes back."

"Forget onion plants" Kate said. "How did you get her to make you daggers?"

"She explained to me how my gift works. When I indicated that I didn't feel like I had the proper way to defend myself without help, I asked her is she would make me some and she said yes." Rosalie was uncomfortable with the look Kate was giving her. The gleam in her eyes was one she had seen before Kate started causing trouble.

"Do you think you could get her to make me a sword?" Kate knew that if she asked Isabella the odds would be low as they hadn't had a chance to really spend time together other than training on her gift but Isabella had been closest to Rosalie and spent the most time with her. If she said yes about the daggers maybe Kate could get a sword.

"I don't know. I mean she seemed really reluctant to come back and it isn't like we have a way of reaching her. The only reason she was pulled here this time was because Edward was going to kill Bella. So unless we are in danger I don't really know a way of asking her." Rosalie didn't want to ask Isabella but she wasn't going to say that out loud. She still wanted to have Kate train her and if Kate thought Rosalie wasn't willing to do her a favor then she might not do Rosalie one.

"How about we discuss this somewhere else. We need to find housing for tomorrow as we don't have Isabella's shield to block out the sun." Tanya said taking charge of the group.

"Oh shit!" Kate exclaimed. "We didn't have Isabella give Garrett the block."

"Well all we can hope is that she comes back before we have anything happen that he needs to be shielded from." Tanya wasn't happy with the fact one of them was vulnerable especially since Edward still hadn't returned. The others may think he was just off somewhere sulking but Tanya wasn't sure. Edward was a snake and always thought he was better than everyone. The fact he thought Tanya took his mate would just make him more dangerous because Tanya doubted he would just step aside. She needed to talk this over with her coven and include Rosalie and Emmett and probably Jasper in the discussion. Carlisle and Esme wouldn't want to believe anything negative about their golden boy and would dismiss any concerns they had. First though there were many things to work out. New mates were one and the future of the Denali coven another.

"Let's go, the sun will be up soon." Tanya said leading the group towards the center of town where she saw a large hotel. Having some time alone would give her a good chance to come up with a plan.

You made it with one minute to spare." Tanya said as Isabella appeared in the living room of the home they shared with her two sisters, Eleazar, Carmen, Rosalie and Emmett. They could of course live in the Volturi castle but Isabella hated the politics and the rest of them the lack of privacy. Plus Tanya liked giving her wife somewhere peaceful to come home to so she could relax after all the trips she went on. Accepting the kiss Isabella gave her Tanya pulled her onto her lap. "Hello my love, how was your trip?"

"Long and annoying." Isabella told her.

Before Tanya could reply Rosalie came into the room followed by Kate and Emmett. Tanya rolled her eyes when Rosalie ran to Isabella picked her up off Tanya's lap and hugged her. She had long ago gotten past her anger whenever the two of them were affectionate but she couldn't help the small amount of possessiveness that made her want to rip Isabella out of Rosalie's arms and take Isabella away to never see Rosalie again. Looking at Emmett she knew she wasn't alone in her discomfort but they both knew it wasn't a romantic bond so they put up with it.

"Hey you're back!" Rosalie had started to get worried as Isabella hadn't shown up after disappearing in front of her earlier that morning. When Isabella left without warning it usually meant some kind of dangerous situation was happening.

"What was it this time?" Kate put her hands together in a praying motion. "Please say it was something to do with killer robots."

Isabella rolled her eyes. "That happened one time."

"And the stories were amazing." Kate said.

"The electronics you brought back from that trip were pretty awesome." Rosalie added.

Tanya pulled Isabella back down on her lap. "What wasn't amazing was the way they had weapons that shot fire."

"It was still pretty awesome." Kate grumbled. "Anyway what was it this time that was keeping you two love birds apart?"

Isabella avoided looking at anyone. She knew Tanya was going to be pissed and didn't want to have to deal with protecting the rest of the family for however long that anger took to go away. However she knew that stalling could backfire and focus the attention back on her. "Edward had been claiming a false mate bond with their Isabella which they called Bella. I believe that I was pulled there because he was going to kill her soon."

"Oh my god that's so great." Emmett said. He could already imagine all the ways Tanya was going to take out her anger on that ass wipe. None of their coven liked the manipulative vampire and avoided him whenever they could. He was always trying to question them on how Isabella's blocks worked so he could get around them to use his gift. The only reason he hadn't been killed is because he hadn't actually committed any crimes. That didn't stop Tanya from taking out her anger on him every time Isabella came back from a trip where he tried to kill that dimension's Isabella.

Tanya pulled Isabella closer and growled. "I'm going to kill him."

"That dimension's you beat him pretty badly." Isabella told her.

"So what else happened? Did you meet me?" Isabella nodded at Kate's question. "Was I as awesome there as I am here?"

"It was actually you and Irina that kept me for so long. Each of you were without your mates. Well Irina was with what she thought was her mate but he was claiming a false mate bond and that version's Irina had been extremely lonely and believed it." Isabella was still pissed about that.

"Do we know the vampire who was claiming it?" Rosalie asked.

"Unfortunately. It was Laurent." Isabella wasn't surprised at the many growls she heard at telling them that.

"I can't believe you had to deal with that bastard again. Did you at least kill him?" Tanya and the rest of them had had to track down that bastard and bring him in for his crimes. He had killed her sire and had been trying to gain a following to overthrow the queens.

Isabella shook her head. "No I didn't. I was in the middle of being attacked by you so I couldn't do anything. You sent him away with a warning."

"Wait Tanya attacked you?" Kate laughed. "What the hell happened there?"

"I appeared near where Edward lived and met Rosalie in the woods. It took little effort for her to believe me and she knew where our coven lived. When I got there Tanya attacked me and refused to believe me until Rosalie vouched for me." Isabella told them.

Rosalie shot Tanya a smug smile. "I would always believe you no matter what dimension."

"Yeah whatever." Tanya grumbled.

"Anyway." Isabella didn't want to deal with one of their fights right now so figured she should get on with her story. "When I convinced them to believe me they made their way to where the Callens were living. I met them there as I didn't want to ride in their vehicle."

Kate threw her hands up in the air dramatically. "Will you just get over that already? No one got killed."

"That's only because of my shield Kate." Isabella reminded her. "You shouldn't have done it at all."

"Well how was I supposed to know that using my gift in an airplane would short circuit the electronics and cause the plane to crash." Kate didn't understand how Isabella still blamed her for that.

"You could have killed a plane full of humans. Hell we would even have died if Isabella hadn't been able to smother the fire with her shield before she guided the plane safely into the ocean. "Tanya was still pissed at Kate for that. If it wasn't for Isabella's standing within the Volturi Kate would probably have been executed. She had exposed Isabella in front of a plane full of humans. Luckily the extreme turbulence had the humans panicking or she would have. With the queens' influence the accident was deemed a frayed cable had shorted out the electric and the swift thinking and skill of the pilots saved the day. The fact that Isabella refused to travel in any kind of vehicle that had to be powered by anything electrical was a horrible side effect that pissed Tanya off because it made it hard to plan vacations.

"Let's forget about Kate's stupidity. Did you see anything cool?" Emmett asked.

"Actually although that dimension was mostly boring and very behind on most everything I did see something cool." Isabella pulled out the picture Rosalie had printed for her and handed it to Tanya.

"Why are wolves cool?" Tanya had expected something more interesting than wolves.

Isabella shook her head. "My love they aren't wolves they are an offshoot of the children of the moon. They are actually humans who transform into wolves. Like shapeshifters but only one shape."

"Really? I know you have told me of shape shifters but never have I heard of wolves like these." Tanya gave the picture to an impatient Kate.

"They are very cute and really didn't like being told that. From what I was told they had most of the traits of the children of the moon but can control it completely after they have practiced a bit." Isabella sighed. "I really wanted to bring one home to you."

"That would have been awesome. I bet they would be good guard dogs. I wonder if we could teach them how to fetch?" Kate was already thinking of the many ways she could use one of the wolves. It would definitely make her much more menacing when facing off against enemies.

"Did you bring anything back?" Rosalie asked. Usually when she was away Isabella tried to bring back something interesting for each of them.

"I'm sorry. There really wasn't anything worth bringing back." Isabella would give Rosalie the necklace she picked up for her later. She didn't want upset her wife. Tanya would play it off if she knew she only brought Rosalie a gift but Isabella knew it would hurt her. Isabella would have to figure out something when she went back. "What did I miss here?"

"Nothing but your anniversary" Kate shut up as soon as Tanya shot her a look.

Tanya understood that sometimes her love had to go away to deal with the situations in other dimensions. For some reason the universe decided that Isabella was the perfect person to unite and protect every version of her and Tanya. It really was the ultimate love story. It was hard to remember that sometimes when she was away from Isabella but knowing how she felt when Isabella was away from her made the distance easier. She never wanted anyone to feel how it felt without their mate and if giving up her own for a while to ensure others got happiness Tanya was willing to do it. It was a small sacrifice in the end. Especially compared to the one Isabella made every time she traveled. Isabella was forced to go into unknown situations and Tanya was all to happy to be the calming presence that she needed when she got home.

"Will you have to go back?" Rosalie asked. She like Tanya didn't like when Isabella had to do dimensional travel. At least when Isabella went on missions in this dimension Rosalie could go with her friend but when she went places Rosalie couldn't go it scared Rosalie more than she let on to others. Even Emmett didn't know of her extreme worries. It would just upset him. He was as understanding as one could be about the bond she and Isabella had but it was better not to push that.

Isabella sighed. "I have a feeling that even if I don't want to I will be pulled back there. The group seemed like they were ones that danger sought them out constantly."

"Well there is nothing to be done until the time comes." Tanya stood up lifting Isabella up bridal style. "Now I want to celebrate our anniversary. It may be past it but I still have things planned for you."

"We know what those plans are." Kate gave them an over exaggerated wink.

"Leave them alone Kate." Rosalie scolded. Watching the retreating couple Rosalie called after them. "We will let the queens know you are home and that you are not to be bothered for anything other than emergencies."

Getting no reply Kate turned to the other two. "When do you think we will see them again?"

"Not for a couple days." Rosalie told her smiling. It was good her friend was home and although she was anxious to spend time with Isabella she knew that Tanya needed to first. It didn't stop her from planning out what she wanted to do once she had time with her friend though. She just hoped that Isabella was wrong about the danger to come and if Isabella wasn't then Rosalie hoped that she would be able to stay safe when facing it.

"Whelp it seems that I have just stolen a hover bike."

Rosalie and the rest of the vampires in the Cullen household all perked up as they heard the familiar voice coming from outside their home. It had been three months since Isabella had left and none of them had expected to see her any time soon. In that time the Denali coven had bought a house close by to live in while Bella went to high school. Although they preferred to stay together the sisters had broken up for the time being leaving only Tanya, Eleazar and Carmen living in the house. Kate and Garrett had left to travel a bit and have some time alone as a newly mated couple while Irina had followed Maggie back to Ireland to see where her mate came from. They had all planned on visiting each other and eventually living together once Bella's future was planned out. Everything had been peaceful since Isabella's visit so no one was expecting her to return so soon.

"I told Tanya these two would be trouble. I just knew I would get pulled back here." Isabella sighed as she watched Rosalie, Emmett, Esme and Carlisle race out of the house to meet her.

"Isabella!" Rosalie ran up to the vampire and pulled her into a hug. "What are you doing here?"

Isabella gladly returned the hug. "Hello Rosalie. It's good to see you. As for what I am doing here that is the question I wish to ask you."

"What do you mean?" Carlisle asked excited that Isabella was back. In the time since she left he had thought of hundreds of more questions to ask her. Hopefully she would be able to stay longer this time.

"I mean I wasn't planning on coming here today. I got pulled here randomly. That means Tanya and Bella are in some kind of danger." Isabella explained.

Esme gasped. "What danger are they in?"

"I think we should call them to come over. They may know something we don't." Carlisle said already pulling out his cell phone.

"Forget all that boring stuff." Emmett didn't care about danger he cared about the weird metal thing that Isabella was standing in front of. "What is that thing?"

Isabella motioned to the vehicle behind her. "This? It's a hover bike. I was in the process of buying it when I was pulled here and because of that I am not going to be able to go back to that dealership to get my Rosalie another one. It's to bad to, they made really cool custom parts."

"What is a hover bike?" Now that Rosalie got over the shock of seeing Isabella again she was just as excited as Emmett about the hover bike. She couldn't begin to imagine how it worked.

"It's exactly what it sounds like. You simply turn it on like this and it hovers." Isabella turned the bike on causing it to hover over the grass.

"Holy shit!" Emmett exclaimed.

"Emmett language." Esme scolded.

"Who cares about language, that thing is so cool. Can I ride it?" Emmett asked.

"I don't see why not. Just try not to crash it. It is suppose to be a gift for my Rosalie." By the look of interest in this Rosalie's eyes Isabella came to the conclusion that she would have to go back to the previous dimension and find a different dealer to buy another one because it was obvious this one was staying here.

Rosalie put her hand on Emmett's shoulder before he climbed on the bike. "Before you ride you should at least learn how to operate it."

"Spoilsport." Emmett grumbled.

"I have never ridden one myself but I have the manual for it with me. So if you would like to learn how to use it you will have to read it to find out how." Bella pulled a book out of the large duffel bag she had been carrying and handed it to an eager Rosalie.

Rosalie flipped through the book in excitement. She knew this wasn't a present for her but she was going to try and get Isabella to let her have it. A hover bike was a lot cooler than the car engine she was originally going to ask Isabella for. All she had to do is keep it away from Kate. If that maniac got her hands on it she would wreck it in seconds. "How is it powered?"

"The dimension I got it from doesn't use fossil fuels so it's completely electric. I believe it's charged with solar energy but I didn't get to finish my conversation with the salesman before I left." Isabella told them.

Before Rosalie could ask anymore questions Tanya came running up to the group carrying Bella on her back. "We came as fast as we could. Carmen and Eleazar will be here soon. I had them contact Kate and Irina."

Not even a second later Alice and Jasper came running out of the woods. Alice went straight to Isabella and gave her a hug. "Hello Isabella, we didn't expect you to come back so soon."

"I didn't expect to come back so soon either to be honest." Isabella told them.

Alice pointed at the hover bike. "What is that thing?"

"It's a hover bike! It doesn't have wheels it flies through the air." Emmett told her excitedly. "Isabella said I could ride it but Rosalie has to figure out how it works first."

"I thought you didn't like any type of vehicles." Alice said.

"Oh I would never ride it personally." Isabella shuddered at the thought. "I got it as a gift for my Rosalie. That's the reason I got the manual. So she could figure out how it worked."

"Hello Isabella, welcome back." Eleazar called out as he and Carmen exited their car. When he heard Isabella was back he wanted to race over with Tanya but stayed behind so they could contact Kate and Irina. Seeing every one looking at some kind of contraption he asked. "What's that?"

"It's a hover bike." Jasper said as he inspected the vehicle. He couldn't figure out exactly how it worked. He hoped that after Rosalie was done with the manual she would let him borrow it as it seemed like she was going to be the eventual owner of the bike.

"That's amazing. How does it work?" Eleazar couldn't imagine how the vehicle moved without wheels. He couldn't see any visible engine so he had no clue what made it work.

"It hovers." Tanya told him impatiently. "Let's get on the topic of why Isabella is here. You said we were in danger?"

Isabella nodded happy to get back on track. "Yes I believe so as I was pulled here against my will. That only happens when one of you are in danger. Unfortunately I don't have a clue what that danger is and until it's dealt with I can't go home. If I tried I would just get pulled back until it was taken care of."

"Have you seen anything Alice?" Tanya asked. She was happy to see Isabella again but not happy that it was for such a bad reason.

"Nothing." Alice told her.

Carmen's phone dinged catching everyone's attention. "Kate and Garrett will be here by tomorrow and Irina is coming on the first flight she can get. She is bringing Maggie, Siobhan and Liam with her."

Tanya sighed in relief. "At least we will have help when we find out what's going on."

"Do you guys have any enemies that would like to get revenge?" Isabella asked.

"I don't personally." Tanya looked to her mate. "Bella could you think of anyone who would want to harm you?"

Bella shook her head. "The only people I interact with are all of you and the wolves. I don't think they are a danger though."

"Does the threat have to be towards Tanya and Bella or just involve them?" Carlisle couldn't think of who would want to hurt Bella or even Tanya. If they were just involved though it could open up more possibilities.

"It has to be against one of them or both of them. If it just involved them I wouldn't be pulled here because they were taking part in the event under their own free will. It may be my job to protect them but fate doesn't expect me to protect them from themselves luckily or I would never get a break from traveling." Isabella explained.

"Ok so that goes back to threats. I think we should speak with the wolves. Even if they aren't the threat it could involve them if whatever is going to happen happens here." Tanya hoped the wolves were innocent because they were Bella's friends and her mate would be heartbroken if they betrayed her somehow.

Isabella perked up hearing about the wolves. "If you are talking to the wolves then I'm going with you. I want a chance to ask them some questions. I have many after speaking to my coven and showing them the picture I brought home."

"If Isabella is going to go talk with the wolves then I'm going as well." Rosalie wasn't worried about Isabella getting hurt. She just didn't want to miss another chance to see Isabella coo and insult the wolves. It was one of the greatest moments of her life the first time she witnessed it.

"How about we wait until everyone else arrives before we involve the wolves." Unlike Rosalie Carlisle did not want a repeat of their last interaction with the wolves. He knew it was only because of their deep confusion over Isabella that it didn't turn violent. He had no doubt that the next time they met the wolves would not hold back from attacking if Isabella acted like, well herself towards them.

"While we wait let's play with the hover bike." Emmett wasn't worried about any threat. Not only did they have a bunch of allies they had Isabella. If it started turning out bad then her shield alone could protect everybody. All she had to do was make everyone invisible and they could get away. He wondered if they could fight while they were invisible. He would have to ask Isabella later. Now he wanted to figure out the hover bike.

"You aren't touching it until I finish reading the manual." Rosalie told him. She loved Emmett but he wasn't very careful with things. She had no doubt if he got a chance to just jump on the hover bike he would break it and Rosalie doubted they would be able to get parts to fix it.

"Isabella while they do that would you like to come in and spend some time with us. We all have so many things we would love to talk to you about." Eleazar had been dying to talk to Isabella about some of the things she had told them on her previous visit. After she left he had done extensive research on any documented cases of a vampire body being modified and found nothing. There were rumors of course but nothing factual.

"Sure, I guess we don't have much to do until everyone is all here." Isabella followed Eleazar, Carmen, Carlisle, Esme and Tanya into the house. The rest of the group was looking over the hover bike much to Isabella's amusement. It reminded her of her own coven when she brought back new things for them. Thinking of her coven caused her a bit of sadness because she had been so excited to go home. She had been gone for almost two weeks from home while dealing with another false mate bond situation. This one involving Tanya. Although it was a quick fix with the time difference between her dimension and others the four days it took there was two weeks at home. Luckily in this dimension time seemed to move quicker because as she settled on the couch in the living room she had a feeling whatever was wrong here was going to take a while to fix.

"So you are saying that it's possible for a vampire to attach a limb from another vampire to their own body and it would actually fuse with the vampire and become a working part of their body?" Eleazar asked Isabella. He along with Carmen, Esme, Carlisle, Tanya and Jasper had been talking to Isabella while waiting for Kate and Irina's groups to join them. The other vampires at the Cullen home had been occupied with the hover bike, which he had planned to inspect later, while Bella was sleeping in a guest room. Isabella had been telling them about vampire body modifications. Half of the things she claimed Eleazar couldn't wrap his head around they were so outrageous.

"Yes. A method was developed by a vampire who's own limb was destroyed after being in a fight. He was a guard for the royals of that dimension and was given permission from them to conduct experiments on prisoners. I won't get into the various experiments done on those vampires but in his research he found a way to transplant a limb." Isabella hated thinking about that self proclaimed scientist. He did horrible experiments that were justified by doing them on captives. It didn't sit right with Isabella but it hadn't been her own dimension so she couldn't really say anything against it.

"So how do you get the body to actually accept the foreign limb?" Carlisle asked. He had never heard of this happening before. He also wasn't sure if it had ever been tried.

"That is the difficult part. To actually get the limb to fuse and be fully functioning you need to use two different kinds of liquid concoctions. One you drink and the other you need to apply to the seam of the limb and the body to fuse them together. "Isabella told them.

"I'm taking it that you don't have any of this with you?" Isabella shook her head causing Carlisle disappointment. He knew it was a long shot she would have some but it would have been nice. "Do you know how to make them?"

"I do however finding the ingredients in different dimensions is the issue. You need the venom of a specific lizard. It's not the only ingredient but the hardest one I've had finding anywhere other than the original dimension that came up with it." Isabella explained.

"Can you bring the lizards to different dimensions?" Tanya asked. Being able to replace a limb was something that any vampire would want as an option. Especially if they were involved in an unknown situation like they currently were. If whatever this threat after them caught them off guard then it would be nice to have a way to repair any injuries that they sustained.

"The only living thing I can travel with are plants." That reminded Isabella, she needed to see if she could get some onion plants to bring home.

Before anyone could ask Isabella another question a commotion was heard coming from the front lawn. All the vampires in the living room rushed out to see what was going on only to find Kate and Garrett had arrived and Kate was arguing with Rosalie. Tanya rolled her eyes at the scene.

"I don't see why you get to decide who gets to ride it. Emmett said it wasn't for you, it was for Isabella's Rosalie." Kate and Garrett had come back as quickly as they could when they learned of the danger coming to Tanya and Bella. Kate was excited to see Isabella again and even a little happy to maybe have a chance at fighting. Kate didn't often get the opportunity to let loose and fight without holding back but that excitement was put on the back burner when she arrived at the Callens and saw every one checking out the hover bike. Now her only concern was riding it and Rosalie was trying to stop that from happening.

"It may not be mine but I know if you try and ride it you will crash it. Then no-one else will get a chance to use it. Anyway we don't even know how to use it yet. I haven't finished reading the manual." Rosalie knew this was going to happen. Kate was going to wreck the hover bike before any of them even got the chance to test it out.

"You don't need to read the manual. It looks easy enough. You turn it on, it hovers, you ride. What else is there to know?" Kate wasn't going to take no for an answer. She was definitely going to ride this thing. It was to cool to pass up.

"There is a lot to know Kate." Rosalie huffed. "Like how to steer it or how to use the brakes."

Noticing Isabella had come out of the house Kate turned her attention to her. "Isabella would it be alright if I rode the hover bike?"

"I don't personally want to get involved in this. However I also don't wish it to get broken so at least have one of you read the manual to figure out how it works. After that just be careful when you ride it." Isabella wasn't going to get herself dragged into a fight about this. From the little she had interacted with each of them Kate was a lot like her own Kate and that meant that she was extremely destructive. That didn't bode well for the hover bike.

Rosalie smiled triumphantly. "See we need to read the manual."

"She didn't say I couldn't ride it though. So once you figure it out I am going to get my turn." Kate wasn't going to take no for an answer. The hover bike was the closest thing to actually being able to fly. She wondered how high up she could get with it.

"Anyway." Tanya interjected before the fight could continue. She knew if she were human she would have the beginnings of a headache coming on because she predicted many fights over the hover bike in the future. She really hoped that Isabella took the thing back home with her so she wouldn't have to deal with it. "Hello Kate, Garrett how was your trip?"

Kate pulled her attention away from the hover bike and hugged Tanya. "Hello sister. Our trip was fun. It is definitely a lot different being a nomad now then it was centuries ago when we tried our hands at it."

"I can imagine. Irina will be here in a couple hours. She is bringing Maggie, Liam and Siobhan" Even though it wasn't for the most positive reasons Tanya was happy to be reunited with her sisters. They didn't often separate but when they did it always made each of them sad as they had been with each other most of their lives and were extremely close.

"Good I want to ask her if she's seen any leprechauns." Kate said.

"You have leprechauns in this dimension. That's odd as I have only encountered them in a few dimensions during my travels." Isabella was surprised they had the mythical creatures as she had thought this dimension had relatively few types of supernatural species.

Emmett perked up hearing this. "Wait, leprechauns are real?"

"I've met a few." Isabella told them.

"What are they like?" Garrett asked. Kate had told him more about Isabella as they had been traveling and the vampire had fascinated him. He was an adventurer and Isabella went to places he could only dream to go.

Isabella flinched remembering her interaction with the human like species. "Tricksters. You have to not only watch your words but your wallet around them. Never make a deal with a leprechaun because in the end it is never worth it."

"Amazing. What other supernatural's have you encountered?" Eleazar asked. He hadn't really thought that Isabella would have encountered other species during her travels.

"More than you could actually imagine. I sometimes wonder if there were other people who had my gift of dimensional travel because I find a lot of stories have some kind of truth to them." Isabella always wondered about that. It would be believable that others had the same gift she had and different purposes for it.

"Ok forget about that boring stuff can we get back to the hover bike. "Kate was interested in hearing more about Isabella's dimensional travels but they had a hover bike right in front of them. That was the most important thing to her.

"If you guys are going back to fighting about the hover bike then I'm going back inside to wait for Irina. Please keep it down as my mate is sleeping." Tanya didn't want to get dragged back into a fight involving Kate. When Kate was like this there was no way she was going to back down.

"I'll join you." Isabella had the same thought as Tanya. She didn't want to deal with a Kate meltdown. As she followed Tanya back into the Cullen's home she gave one last look back at the group and caught Rosalie's pleading gaze. She knew Rosalie wanted her to mediate but Isabella didn't really have it in her. However she could never deny Rosalie anything so she sighed as she made her way back to the group. "I guess I could stay out here for a little while longer."

"Thank you." Rosalie was happy Isabella had stayed. She didn't know if she could win in a fight with Kate on her own even in a verbal fight and she really wanted to finish reading the manual before any of them tried to ride the hover bike. That meant that she needed some one to guard it while she was distracted. Getting Isabella to stay would stop anyone from just jumping on it. It was enough reassurance that Isabella would stop them that gave Rosalie the confidence to sit back down and continue reading the manual. She like everyone else was excited but she really didn't want it broken. From the little she had read they definitely wouldn't be able to fix it.

"What the hell is she doing?" Siobhan asked as she, Liam, Irina and Maggie exited their rental car. After hearing that Tanya and Bella were in danger the four of them had taken the first flight they could find to get to the Cullen's as quickly as possible. She had been expecting to find both covens preparing for battle not standing around watching Kate fly through the air on some metal contraption. Siobhan looked to the vampires gathered watching as Kate flew higher totally unconcerned, Rosalie being the odd man out as she stood with her arms crossed glaring at Kate. Before Siobhan could comment further Maggie ran forward in excitement.

"How is Kate flying like that?" Maggie had never seen anyone fly through the air like Kate was. She didn't know how Kate was doing it but Maggie hoped that she would get a chance to try.

"Isabella brought a hover bike with her this time. That's what Kate is riding." Emmett explained. Tanya had set up the rule that everyone would get turns that lasted ten minutes and he was now waiting for his second try.

"And this hover bike allows her to fly without any type of wings or engine?" Liam asked. He wasn't sure exactly how he felt about flying through the air on something that didn't even look like it could hold his weight but the idea was interesting. He could see how they would be helpful during battle, being able to fly over enemies without having to use planes.

"The engine actually affects the gravity around the hover bike. I don't know how it works exactly but that's the explanation I got from the manual." Rosalie told him as she watched Kate. She was positive that Kate was going to crash into something and wanted to be ready to hopefully interfere and save the bike. Kate could figure out how to save herself.

Tanya pulled her attention away from Kate and greeted the newcomers. "How was the trip?"

"It was uneventful. We came as soon as we could but we didn't expect to witness something like this when we arrived." Siobhan said. She could see not only her mate but Maggie and Irina interested in the hover bike and feared them trying it. She didn't want any of them to get hurt on the thing but knew in the end she wouldn't stop them from riding it.

"None of us expected to have Isabella bring it with her." Tanya was already annoyed with the hover bike. It had been fun to ride but the fighting over it was aggravating. Isabella refused to set rules about who could ride it and for how long claiming that none of the vampires present were in her coven and it wasn't proper for her to make rules for them. That had left it for Tanya to step in as it was Kate that was causing the most problems. She prayed to any deity listening for the hundredth time since Isabella showed up that she would take the bike home with her so Tanya wouldn't have to deal with it anymore.

"Hello sister." Irina opened her arms for Tanya and pulled her into a hug after turning her attention away from the hover bike. She would have to talk to Maggie about whether the two of them thought it was safe for each of them to ride. She sighed as she glanced back at her mate. It seemed there wouldn't be a discussion after all. Her mate definitely was going to ride it. Irina would have to ask about safety precautions before she did however.

"Hello Irina." Tanya happily snuggled into her sister's embrace. She hated being away from Irina and Kate but with the new mate bonds she came to the realization that it would happen a lot more then the three of them would prefer. Discussions of where everyone would live were being put on hold until Bella finished high school and decided when she wanted to be turned into a vampire. It pleased Tanya to know that her mate didn't want to stay human and wouldn't regret being forced to become one of them.

"What do you know of this threat you called us here for?" Irina asked as she released Tanya from her arms.

"We haven't really figured much out. We were waiting for the four of you to brainstorm ideas. "Tanya still had no clue who would be after her or Bella but they hadn't really discuss things yet. Now that Irina and company were here it was the perfect time to start. "Why don't we talk about things when Kate gets finished with her turn."

"Kate your times up." Alice yelled. After some fighting and objections it was decided that Alice would be the official time keeper to make sure everyone keep their rides to ten minutes. Tanya had threatened anyone who went over with not being able to ride it again. It had kept everyone in line and the fighting had stopped. Well after it was decided the order in which they rode was going to be determined by picking a name out of a hat.

"I bet that wasn't even ten minutes." Kate grumbled as she parked the hover bike. She had no doubt the whole time and order thing was rigged as she got picked to go last. The only positive other than actually riding the hover bike was that she got to ride by herself. Tanya had refused to let her human ride without her, deeming it to unsafe for Bella to go on a solo ride. Kate thought Tanya was very lucky her human seemed to find her over protectiveness endearing because if Garrett was like that with her she would have punched him in the face.

"Ok so what exactly do we know about this threat?" Liam asked. His mind was already shifting into strategy mode.

"The problem is we don't have many facts. All we know as of now is there is a threat to either Tanya or Bella. It could also be against both of them." Carlisle told them.

"What have you done lately that has been out of the ordinary or has disrupted your lives?" Liam knew the answer was there they just might of overlooked it. "No matter how insignificant you think it is tell us."

"Well other than Isabella showing up we have dealt with Edward and Laurent." Tanya said trying to think of what else had happened. She wouldn't put it past Edward to do something but Alice told them that he was mostly hanging out in South America moping around.

"Laurent? How do you know Laurent?" Jasper asked.

"He was claiming a false mate bond with Irina. The day Isabella came was when we found out and kicked him off our property. How do you know him?" Tanya hoped this was a chance to rip the vampire to shreds. If so much hadn't been happening the day Isabella showed up she would have handled the situation a lot differently.

"He was a part of a coven that included a tracker that went after Bella." Seeing the alarm on Tanya's face Carlisle hurried to explain. "We killed him before he left the area but his coven mates got away."

"Who was part of this coven?" Liam thought they were on the right track with this. If a coven member was killed it was highly likely the rest of the coven would want revenge. He knew if anything happened to Siobhan, Maggie or even Irina he wouldn't stop until those who were responsible paid with their lives.

Jasper was thinking along the same lines as Liam. "There were three of them. James the tracker, Laurent and a woman named Victoria. We weren't exactly sure but she may had been James' mate."

"You left his mate alive after you killed him?" Tanya was incredulous. If she had any doubt about the threat to them it was beyond obvious now. It was common knowledge that if a vampire lost their mate they would be overcome with an everlasting feeling of grief. Most killed themselves but if a mate was killed then the other wouldn't stop until they had their revenge.

"It wasn't that we left her alive." Carlisle said defensively. "She left the area before we got a chance to deal with her. We didn't know enough about her or Laurent to track them down. I'm surprised he knew about your coven though."

"It's well known of our eating habits amongst vampires. He could have taken a chance at us knowing you and came to us. Your scents are all over the area around our home and within it." Tanya was trying to think of what exactly they had discussed with Laurent. Thinking back she realized he had asked about the Callens in a round about way. At the time it seemed he was interested in meeting more animal drinkers but now it was obvious he was fishing for information. "Alice can you try and focus on Victoria. If not her then maybe Laurent. I think we may be on the right track on who this threat may be."

Alice nodded her head. "Yeah I can try."

"Good. I will reach out to a few contacts and see if they may have any information about Victoria and Laurent. Even if they are nomads someone must know about them." Carlisle pulled out his cell phone and made his way into the house. He wasn't surprised when the rest of the group went back to playing with the hover bike. He would like to get another chance to ride it. He already had plans to ask Rosalie to let him borrow the manual so he could read it over. The fact that it was powered by an anti gravity engine fascinated him. He had of course thought about one but figured that that technology would not be invented until decades if not centuries into the future. Thinking of asking Isabella some technological questions Carlisle sped up hoping to get some information regarding the nomads quickly. The sooner he did the sooner he could spend time with Isabella again.

"So we've got missing people, violence and murders attributed to gang violence in a city named Seattle that is very close to where we are now?" Isabella asked as she, the Callens minus Edward, the Denali plus Liam, Maggie, Siobhan and Garrett were gathered around the front lawn. It had become their unofficial meeting place as the group didn't fit inside any room in the house. After putting the hover bike away to recharge they had begun searching and following whatever leads they could find on Victoria and Laurent. They hadn't come up with much but this seemed like they might have a lead.

"Yes it's a significant amount of people that are missing and the killings are brutal." Carlisle told her.

"You know what that means don't you?" Liam looked to Jasper who was already nodding his head.

"Newborns. She's creating a newborn army." Jasper concluded. He wasn't exactly happy with having to deal with newborns again but looking around he realized that with the experience of most of the group they would be able to maybe handle the threat.

"Sweet we get to kick some vampires' asses." Emmett was now excited. He had never gotten the chance to be in a real fight before. "I just wished that Isabella had the chance to make me some weapons."

"I did make you something." Isabella told him.

"What do you mean?" Emmett asked.

"I made Rosalie her daggers and you some gloves." Isabella said.

"Do you have them with you?" Rosalie now wished she had gotten more training. She hadn't expected Isabella to bring her daggers so soon.

Isabella nodded. "Yes they are in the bag I brought. I had a feeling that I was going to be pulled here involuntarily so I have kept the bag with me everywhere I've been. It's actually been annoying my Tanya greatly having me lug the thing around all the time."

"Did you bring your sword as well?" Kate had been sad that they had to stop using the hover bike but if Isabella had brought her sword that would be even better. She knew Rosalie would never let her touch her daggers so she hoped Isabella would be nice enough to let her use her sword.

"Yes I did. After meeting the wolf shifters I wasn't sure what else you had in this dimension so I thought it wise to be prepared. Let me just grab my…" Before she could finish Emmett was in front her with her large duffle bag. "Thank you Emmett."

"No problem." Emmett had to hold himself back from tearing open the bag himself and getting out the gloves Isabella said she made him. "What kind of gloves did you make me?"

Isabella pulled out two gauntlet type gloves made of a clear material that looked like glass. "I made these for you. I had my Emmett help me with the fitting so I think they will work for you just fine."

"Whoa how do they work?" Emmett took the gloves carefully from Isabella. They looked so delicate that he was afraid of breaking them.

"They are basically an armored glove. They are flexible enough to allow you to use your hands normally but tough enough that you could punch through anything you want without causing any damage to yourself. My Emmett tried them out and his favorite thing about them was he was able to rip anything he wanted apart with the way they cover your fingers." Isabella explained.

Emmett slipped the gloves on and flexed his hands. "They are so light, it's like I'm not wearing anything at all."

"So these gloves are made of vampire venom?" Seeing Bella nod Eleazar asked. "How did you shape the venom to allow the flexibility?"

"It was harder and easier than you might think." Bella said. "I used an armored glove as a template. Then I formed each piece out of venom and assembled it. To make the pieces stay together I used my venom like a kind of glue. It took a few failed attempts but I think the final product turned out well."

"Amazing." Eleazar watched as Emmett moved his hand around. It didn't seem like the glove impeded his hand movement in any way. "And the gloves won't shatter when used."

"No, they have gone through a series of tests one which involved me getting a hole put in my shoulder as a result." Isabella shrugged sheepishly at the incredulous looks she was getting. "We had to make sure they actually worked. My Tanya didn't take it very well and is still not speaking to my Emmett."

"God you're insane." Kate muttered. She liked Isabella but still wasn't convinced that the woman wasn't crazy. It seemed like the more they learned about her and from her just made Kate question Isabella's sanity more and more.

"Anyway. Did you say you brought my daggers?" Rosalie couldn't stand the wait any longer. She had been practicing with regular daggers but had been wanting to get her hands on the ones Isabella had promised her.

Isabella pulled out two daggers in what looked like clear sheaths. She handed them to an eager Rosalie. "I made them a little longer than my Rosalie's pair. She told me to tell you that they would be easier to learn on. I also made you sheaths made out of venom so you don't stab yourself or others by accident and can attach them to whatever you are wearing."

"Thank you Isabella." Rosalie stepped forward and gave Isabella a hug. She ignored the surprised looks she was receiving. It wasn't often that she hugged someone but she felt a connection to Isabella. She also felt humbled that Isabella's Rosalie had helped make them for her. "Can you please thank your Rosalie as well."

"No problem. "Isabella patted Rosalie on the back as she pulled back from the hug. She really did like this Rosalie.

"Ok, enough about those two. Let's see your sword." Kate was barely containing her excitement.

Isabella pulled a broadsword out of the bag that was sheathed in venom like the daggers. It was decorated differently though. The sheath was covered in jewels and various designs that were inlaid with silver and gold. It had braided leather attached so it could be secured to the user's back. Puling the sword free she held it out for Kate to hold. "This is my sword. My Tanya decorated it for me."

"What is this symbol?" Kate asked in awe as she held the sword. On the handle there was some kind of crest she didn't recognize.

"That's my family's crest." Isabella told her.

Kate stepped back from the group and swung the sword around. It was lighter than she thought it would be but more magnificent than she could have imagined. She desperately wanted to try it out. "What can this cut through?"

"I have yet to find something it can't cut through." Isabella smiled as she watched Kate with the sword. She reacted exactly like her Kate did with it. Unfortunately for Isabella's Kate Tanya didn't trust her enough to let Isabella make one for her.

"Can I try it out?" Kate asked as she fought off invisible enemies.

"Kate." Tanya wanted to stop this before Kate did something stupid. She knew Kate missed being able to use weapons but that didn't mean she thought it was a good idea to let her use any. Especially one that was indestructible. "I think you should give the sword back to Isabella."

"Come on Tanya. What harm could I do with a sword?" Kate continued before Tanya could answer. "OK how about I be careful with it and not use it close to others."

"I think it would be better if you just give the sword back to Isabella and not touch it ever again." Tanya held back from going and taking the sword from Kate for fear Kate would accidentally stab her.

"No way. This is the first sword I have been able to use in a thousand years that I don't have to be careful with." Kate turned to Isabella. "Will it cut through trees?"

"Yes, trees, rocks, metal, I have yet to find something that it can't cut through." Isabella told her.

"So if I just walk up to that tree there I can cut it down easily." Kate walked up to the tree and swung ignoring Tanya's yell. The sword went through the tree like a hot knife through butter causing it to fall quickly.

"Holy shit!" Emmett exclaimed as he watched. "Can my gloves punch through trees too?"

"The gloves can go through the same things as the sword. The differences are obviously how they are used. You can claw through things with your fingers or you can punch through them with your fist." Isabella explained. "The same with Rosalie's daggers."

Emmett didn't waste anytime running up to a tree and punching his hand right through it. If he had just used his fist it would have only cracked and not fallen. With the glove his fist left a large hole in the tree. He then punched either side and reduced the spot to splinters causing it to fall. "This is so wicked. What happens when I punch a vampire?"

"As I mentioned when my Emmett and I tested them out he was able to punch a hole through my shoulder." Isabella winced remembering the pain.

"Were you able to heal from that much damage?" Eleazar wasn't sure if a vampire could heal from such an injury. He had only heard of vampires using their venom for bites and those healed slowly and left horrible scars.

"I was able to heal with some help from an elixir I have. Of course there were other personal repercussions. I won't get into those but let's say my Tanya was extremely displeased and forbid me from making my Emmett a pair for himself. That's not as bad as what my Rosalie did to him but I don't want to get into that." Isabella said.

"You have something to help you heal from such extreme damage?" Carlisle perked up hearing this. The fact that Isabella had a way to transplant limbs alone was amazing. If she had a way to repair a vampire from such damage would be mind blowing. He almost chuckled as he thought that. When was anything that Isabella said not mind blowing.

"I do. Here. "Isabella reached into the pocket of her coat where she kept a leather pouch. Opening it the group noticed it was filled with vials filled with different colored liquids. She took out one that was a reddish orange. "I carry a few with me in case of emergencies. There was an incident with killer robots that shot fire and after that Tanya makes me bring them with me wherever I go."

Emmett stopped his tree punching and looked at Isabella. "Did you just say killer robots?"

"Unfortunately, I was pulled to a dimension that was very advanced in technology. The threat against Tanya and Bella was a group of humans decided world domination would be fun and created a bunch of robots. There were different kinds including some humanoids looking ones. They were equipped with weapons of course and the humans and supernatural's were having a hell of a time fighting them." Isabella said.

"How did you save them? I'm assuming you saved them." Rosalie wondered what the robots were like. If they caused not only humans but supernatural's to have a hard time fighting them then they must have been beyond advanced.

"Of course I saved them." Isabella was a little insulted that Rosalie asked. "It's my job to see them together. How I saved them was by getting together with their Tanya and her coven and uniting a bunch of supernatural's. I trained their Bella with her shield which allowed her to protect a group that lead a large assault on the main army. I along with Emmett, Rosalie, Kate and Garrett concealed with my shield infiltrated their head quarters and took out their leadership. After that we destroyed all the data and made sure nothing was left that would allow anyone to be able to do it again. Well if they wanted to they would have to start from scratch as I killed everyone who had a hand in working on them."

"You destroyed all that knowledge?" Rosalie asked.

"How great was I in battle?" Kate asked at the same time.

"You were magnificent as always Kate. In every dimension I bring you four with me if I have something important I have to take care of. That is if I come across each of you. Sometimes I don't see you at all. Other times like what happened here I have to help you find each other." Isabella hated when that happened. Not only did it take time to find each of them to get them together but it meant they had been without their mates.

Rosalie rolled her eyes at Kate. "Why did you destroy everything?"

"I didn't want anyone else to get the designs to make their own robot army." Isabella explained. "Although I destroyed everything I did make copies and took a few of the robots back to my Rosalie. I just couldn't trust anyone else with the information."

"You have the blueprints for killer robots?" Emmett asked excitedly. He was already planning on the many ways he could use one. He wondered if they could take on the wolves.

"Well I don't my Rosalie does. She also has a few models I brought back for her." Isabella said. "I knew she would be upset if I didn't let her have a chance to play with them."

Rosalie was flabbergasted. Isabella not only had the designs for advanced robotics but she had working models. She wondered how she could go about getting some of the research from Isabella. She was more mechanically inclined than technically but that was because technology wasn't that interesting. Playing with the hover bike and learning about the robots made her rethink that. "Is there a way for you to get me a copy of some of the research?"

"I don't know." Isabella was hesitant to let others have the knowledge.

"It isn't like we would make an army of killer robots like those other people did." Rosalie shot a look to Emmett cutting him off from any stupid remarks. She had no doubt if he could he would make an army but she wouldn't let him. She didn't want to use Isabella's bond with her Rosalie to sway Isabella but she really wanted to know about the robots.

Isabella sighed. She knew if Rosalie pushed she would give in but she wasn't really comfortable with anyone else knowing. "I'll think about it. It isn't likely I will be pulled here again so I don't know if I will even be coming back."

"Thank you Isabella." Rosalie would take the win for what it was. She knew that if Isabella ever came back she would bring the information with her. She cared about Rosalie too much to let her down. Rosalie pushed the guilt of manipulating Isabella aside. It wasn't like she was asking her to do anything dangerous. Looking at the excitement on Emmett and Kate's faces she amended that thought. It wouldn't be dangerous if she kept those two away from the project.

Carlisle shook his head to clear it of the many thoughts of robots and advanced technology and looked at the vial of liquid in his hand. "Will this work on humans as well?"

"Oddly enough it does. However you can't use the same doses as that vial would kill a human if they consumed all of it." Isabella warned.

"What does it cure?" Carlisle asked.

"It can heal most wounds, even life threatening ones. It cleanses the body of imperfections and rebuilds it to as close as perfection as it can." Isabella explained.

"What do you mean cleanses the body?" Eleazar looked at the vial Carlisle was holding. If it could heal wounds like Isabella said then it would change the face of medicine.

"It eliminates anything that is damaging to the human body, disease, cancer, illnesses. It also eliminates scars making the skin perfect again." Isabella said.

"Jesus, this could change the face of medicine as we know it." Carlisle could hardly imagine how a cure like this could effect the human population. "Is it easy to replicate?"

Isabella shrugged. "For me yes it is, for you I have no idea. It depends if you have the ingredients available in this dimension."

"You know how to make it though?" Isabella nodded so Eleazar continued. "Then you could give us the recipe and we could try to recreate it ourselves."

"Yeah, I guess I can. I will just draw the plants and some of the bugs you need to make it as I find that not everything is named the same in each dimension." Isabella told them.

Carlisle looked over to Eleazar noticing the man looked just as excited as he did. "Thank you Isabella, you don't know what this would mean to us to be able to help humans this way."

"As wonderful as learning new things from Isabella is. "Tanya meant that. If she could she would spend the day just asking Isabella questions. She especially wanted to know what liquids the other vials she saw in Isabella's pockets contained. Unfortunately they had bigger things to deal with. "I think we need to discuss the newborn army we believe is coming for us."

"Agreed. Should we wait for your human to join us as well?" Siobhan wanted to start making plans but didn't want to leave a member of the group out. She knew she would want to wait until her mate was with her to make sure he had an input. This situation was directly related to the human so it was only fair that she be involved in all discussions.

"Yes actually that would be a good idea." Tanya honestly didn't want to involve Bella but she wasn't going to be controlling. From the many talks with not only Bella but the other Callens she had learned that Edward had not only tried to control every aspect of Bella's life, he had also stalked her and never let her out of his sight. She once again wondered what Edward was up to. Alice had been keeping an eye on him but said he was holed up in some apartment in Rio moping around. Tanya wasn't fooled by his lack of action though. She knew he was biding his time until he came up with a plan to get Bella back. The girl was his singer. There was no way he was going to give her up as easily as it seemed he had. Maybe she would talk to Isabella about it later. She may have someway to figure out what he was thinking. Tanya also wanted to talk to Isabella about Bella's shield again. Bella had been making progress with her mental shield but Tanya wanted to see if Isabella had a way to help her learn how to use her physical one. Looking over the group of vampires all vying for Isabella's attention except for Kate and Emmett who were decimating a bunch of trees and a few boulders she felt like even if Edward was planning something the group would probably be able to handle it. When they dealt with the newborns she would finally see how everyone fought but Tanya was most interested in how Isabella handled herself. It would hopefully give her an insight to what Bella could eventually do. That would make Tanya relax even more. She decided to worry about it later. Now she was going to enjoy the little time they had with Isabella.

"Remember Carlisle is the only one who is to speak. I don't want any of you to antagonize the wolves." Tanya told the group of vampires standing on the treaty line. After they had discussed the army and realizing they had very little information they decided to let the wolves know of the problem. It was brought up that some of the army could be sent to scout out the area and might go onto the reservation to do it. Everyone agreed the wolves needed to know so they had set up a meeting. The only problem Tanya had with the whole situation was that everyone decided to come with them. Isabella of course wanted to go to see the wolves again, Rosalie wanted to stay with Isabella, so that Tanya was sure to see Isabella coo them, since Rosalie was going Emmett decided to go as well. Tanya had forced him not to wear his new gloves even though he wanted too. Garrett, Liam, Siobhan and Maggie had never seen shape shifters before and were curious and Irina and Kate wanted to be with their mates. Even Esme, Eleazar and Carmen were there. The only two who were missing were Alice and Jasper as they had volunteered to guard Bella. Those who came had all promised to be on their best behavior but as Tanya caught sight of Kate eyeing Isabella's sword she knew this was all going to go to hell. "Kate you stand by me."

"Why? I want to hang out with Isabella." Kate wanted to be as close to the crazy woman as possible incase anything actually happened she might be able to get to use Isabella's sword in a fight. It would be awesome to be able to use it against real enemies after the amount of trees and boulders she had tried it on earlier. She and Emmett had already made plans to go to a scarp yard to see what kind of damage they could do there. Isabella had agreed to go as well because she wanted to look at the vehicles that this dimension had for her Rosalie.

"Yes well you can hang out with her later. Now we are going to be meeting with the wolves so you need to be on your best behavior." Tanya made eye contact with all four of the trouble makers adding. "All of you do."

Emmett held up his hands in defense. "I'm not going to do anything. You wouldn't let me bring my gloves."

"I am not going to say anything I'm just here for Isabella." Rosalie said.

Isabella just shrugged. "I don't see how I could possibly cause any problems."

"Me neither." Kate promised.

"Of course I forgot, all of you are perfect angels." Tanya said sarcastically.

"You guys have angels in this dimension?" Isabella asked.

"Angels are real?" Isabella nodded causing Emmett to go wide eyed. "Holy shit."

"Yeah I bet if they could shit it would be holy." Kate laughed causing Emmett to laugh as well.

Tanya pinched the bridge of her nose and sighed. She had already lost control of the group and the wolves haven't even shown up yet." Kate, Emmett, I know hearing angels are real is incredible and you must have many questions about them but why don't we wait until the meeting is over to ask Isabella about them."

"I myself would like to know more about angels. Are they religious figures in other dimensions?" Carlisle asked.

"Carlisle you too?" Tanya looked at him in shock.

Carlisle looked like he would be blushing if he were human. "Of course we will wait until the meeting is over."

"Yes let's do that." Tanya felt like this meeting was going try her patience. As she heard the wolves coming she wondered if she could get away with just grabbing her Bella and running far away from all of them and go hide. Not because of the army but because of the trouble the group of them together were most definitely going to get into. She just hoped they didn't cause enough damage to bring the attention of the Volturi.

"Callens what have you called us here for and why did you bring so many?" Sam asked cautiously. When he had received word that the vampires wanted to meet with him he hadn't been expecting to be met with so many. If they stayed around the area he had no doubt the wolves' numbers were going to increase rapidly.

"Hello Sam." Carlisle greeted the wolves. "We have come here today to speak to you about a situation that may concern you. As to why we have brought so many we thought it a good idea to introduce all those that are in the area to you."

"So they are staying?" Sam asked. He narrowed his eyes as he noticed three of the vampire's had red eyes. "You know we don't allow red eyed vampires around our lands."

"Yes, I do. However they will be needed in the upcoming event so I ask that you overlook their presence while they are here. We can guarantee they will be hunting far away from Forks and will never cross the treaty line." Carlisle hoped that Sam would take him at his word and believe him. If not he didn't want to have to fight the wolves. Not only did the vampires outnumber them but they were even better trained then the shifters. Isabella alone could kill them all even without the use of her sword.

"I would like to hear of this event before I make my final decisions." Sam sent a glare at the wolves stopping the growls and barks.

"Of course. A while ago a vampire named James visited us with his two coven mates one of them his true mate. After he became interested in hunting Bella we killed him but the other vampires got away. Unfortunately because Victoria is James' mate she has decided to avenge her mate by killing not only Bella but the rest of my coven as well." Carlisle told them.

"If what you are saying is true then why don't you just kill the vampire and be done with it." Sam asked.

"Because her method to eliminate us is that she created an army of newborns vampires to kill us." Carlisle explained.

"I see." Sam thought the situation over. This was something that they would need help with if the army came to their reservation. "How many vampires are we taking about?"

"We have no numbers as of yet but are investigating. My daughter Alice has been focusing her visions on Victoria and is hoping that will give us some solid information on what she is planning." Carlisle was happy it seemed like Sam was taking the situation seriously and not just acting on bravado and claiming the wolves would take care of it.

"The red eyed vampires will be left alone." Sam decided. "All we ask is that they do not come on our land. Not knowing them and the fact that other red eyes may be in the area could cause them to be attacked if confused with the others. As they are your allies we don't want mistakes to happen and sometimes our wolves don't allow us to make decisions."

"Thank you Sam. "Carlisle was happy they were thinking of the safety of the Irish coven. He would hate for something to happen by accident that would cause a war between them and the wolves. "My family and guests are well versed when it comes to newborns so if you wish we can help train you better to fight them."

"How are they different from older vampires?" Sam asked. He would have to think about the training part. He was intrigued by the idea but would have to speak to the elders to decide on whether to accept or not.

"In our first year vampires still have some of their own human blood left in their bodies. Because of this it makes them stronger, faster and just more enhanced than an older vampire. The one thing that can be used to our advantage is that they are also more impulsive. They don't fight that well unless they had training as a human. That doesn't mean they are easy to kill though." Carlisle warned.

Sam nodded. He would have to try and convince the elders to allow them to train with the vampires. It could be very helpful in the future. "Thank you for informing us of the threat. I will speak to our elders about what you have told us and will call you later with a response to your offer."

"That is perfectly fine." Carlisle was happy that the meeting had gone well. He had expected the wolves to make their way home but as Sam looked conflicted and a few of the wolves made yipping sounds he was confused on what more they wanted to say. "Is there anything else we can do for you?"

"Well it's just.." Same trailed off and glared at the russet colored wolf as it nudged him in the side. "You ask her."

The russet colored wolf huffed and ran into the bushes coming back as Jacob Black. He looked over to Isabella and smiled shyly. Now that it was up to him he wasn't so sure about the request he was about to ask. "Uhm well, we were wondering if we could talk to Isabella?"

"I'm sorry I'm not allowed to talk to you." Isabella told them.

"Why not?" Jacob asked.

"Tanya told me I couldn't." Isabella said.

Tanya sighed and pitched the bridge of her nose again. This was the moment she was going to be the first vampire to get a headache. As she noticed everyone staring at her including the wolves she rolled her eyes. "Isabella when I said that I meant that you were not to antagonize the wolves not that you couldn't talk to them."

"Oh yes, of course I knew that." Isabella said causing Rosalie to laugh. "What is it you wish to speak to me about?"

"Well Bella had told us about some of your travels and we were wondering if you would be willing to come speak with us so we could ask you some questions?" Jacob was hit in the back by a sandy colored wolf and added. "And maybe bring your hover bike."

"I see. I too want to speak to you about your species." Isabella thought about what terms she should set. "I have one condition."

Jacob looked at her hoping it wasn't anything too outlandish. "What would that be?"

"I wish to fight against your alpha while he is in wolf form." Isabella told him.

"What?!" Sam exclaimed.

"Badass." Emmett said.

"Fuck yeah I want to fight a wolf too." Kate added.

"You want to fight me?" Sam asked. Of all the things he thought she would request a fight wasn't one of them.

Isabella nodded." Yes I promise not to use my gifts or weapons. I have only fought two other types of shifters before not counting children of the moon. I'm wondering how well I'll do against you."

"I guess if it's not to the death then that will be fine." Sam didn't see any problem other than getting some wounds that would heal. "I just ask that you don't bite me as vampire venom is poisonous. "

"Excellent." Isabella was excited. She had already discussed with her coven about taking on a wolf and after being told to be careful her mate had given her permission.

Tanya just threw her hands up in the air and made her way back to the Cullen's. Even though she was the Denali coven leader she decided she didn't want to deal with any of them anymore. Spending time with her mate sounded a lot more appealing than whatever craziness Isabella was going to drag them all into. She just hoped that in the end Garrett would be able to keep Kate from killing herself. She wasn't worried about Irina because not only was her sister more cautious than Kate but she had the Irish coven to protect her. Eleazar and Carmen were old enough and smart enough to handle themselves even though it seemed Eleazar was willing to follow Isabella anywhere the insane woman went.

Bella looked up confused as she noticed Tanya making her way into the living room. "Not that I'm not happy to see you but where is everyone else?"

"Oh they are all off in the woods making plans for Isabella to wrestle a wolf." Tanya said like it was no big deal.

"What?!" Alice exclaimed. "Did something go wrong? Do they need our help?"

Tanya shook her head. "Nothing went wrong. The meeting was quick and went smoothly. It was when the wolves asked Isabella if she would take some time to talk them that she agreed on the condition that she could fight the alpha."

"Oh my god." Jasper laughed. He was kind of sad he hadn't went to the meeting with the others. He would have loved to see everyone's faces when Isabella asked.

"Did she really ask that?" Tanya nodded so Bella asked another question. "Do you think she would actually be alright in a fight with Sam?"

"She made it so it wasn't to the death and she couldn't bite him so I think she will be fine. She also promised not to use her gift." Tanya told them.

"It would actually be kind of fun to watch her fight a wolf. Did they say when they were going to be doing this and where?" Jasper had never seen a vampire fight a shape shifter before. He had always been curious but the only ones he had known of before were the children of the moon and they had been hunted to extinction long before he was born.

Tanya rolled her eyes and took Bella's hand in her own. "I don't know what they are planning and I don't particularly care. I'm going to spend time with my mate. Only bother me if someone is dead or needs to be avenged."

"We will." Alice chuckled as she watched Tanya and Bella leave the house. Turning to Jasper she asked. "What kind of trouble do you think Isabella got into after Tanya left the meeting?"

"Who knows, when it involves her it's best to expect the unexpected. I just hope that when they do fight we get a chance to watch." Jasper said as he and Alice went back to watching their movie. He really did like Isabella. She was fun and had helped him more than he would ever thought someone could with his gift. He just hoped that whatever trouble she did get herself in she was able to get herself out of.

"Be careful." Rosalie growled as she watched the shifter steer the hover bike towards the trees. After their meeting Isabella was invited to the reservation right after. It had been decided they would plan the fight between Isabella and the alpha for a later date when everyone was able to watch. Since Isabella was going to the reservation Bella and Tanya came as well. Rosalie was honestly surprised that they allowed her on their land but after learning she was the one who knew how to use the hover bike the shifters had readily agreed. Now Rosalie was standing on the beach with a group from the reservation waiting for their turns on the hover bike. She wasn't happy that the mutts were even touching it but until Isabella had officially given it to her Rosalie had no control over who was able to use it.

"So you have met other shifters during your travels?" Billy Black along with the rest of the elders had been beyond excited to speak with Isabella after they had learned of her existence. From the stories that Bella had passed along the vampire was extremely knowledgeable about the supernatural. It was because of her knowledge that they overlooked the fact that she was their natural enemy and she was invited to visit.

Isabella nodded her head. "Yes I have met numerous kinds. You are the first wolf shifters I have met. Although I have come across many werewolves."

"We are werewolves." Sam said. He too wanted to ride the hover bike but talking to Isabella could be helpful to the tribe.

"No you are simply a shifter. Werewolves are commonly referred to as children of the moon. The difference between your two species is that you are able to control your shifts and your emotions. Children of the moon can only shift on full moons and while in human form are just as destructive as when they are in their wolf form. That is why most dimensions hunt them to extinction. They are to dangerous to humans and other supernaturals." Isabella told them.

"Interesting." Billy had of course heard of children of the moon but had assumed it was simply a tall tale made up to scare children. "Do we have such beings in this dimension?"

"Yes. Although they no longer exist because vampires hunted them after one almost killed one of the kings." Tanya wanted to stay with Bella but thought it was better to be with Isabella while she was talking to the elders. She wasn't afraid of Isabella getting hurt, Tanya was afraid of Isabella insulting someone by accident.

"Bella told us that you sometimes come across the same people in different dimensions. Have you come across any of us?" One of the elders Quill asked. Bella had spoken to them about the last time Isabella was there and recognized different gifts and abilities in the vampires. Since then he had wondered if she would know anything about him or any others from his tribe.

"No I have not, but I did look the last few places I visited. It actually led me to a group of jaguar shifters." Isabella smiled as she thought of her fight with their leader to earn the right to even speak with them. After it was over she had spent a few nights in their company and had enjoyed some rather exotic foods. Tanya had enjoyed the rare melons she had brought back and was in the process of trying to get a couple of the trees that produced them to grow in the greenhouse they had built for that exact reason.

"Jaguar shifters, amazing." Sue the final elder tried to imagine what a jaguar shifter would be like. Shaking off that thought she asked Isabella the question that she had wanted to ask after finding out the existence of other shifters. "Have you met any female shifters?"

"Of course I have. Female shifters are somewhat rare but are highly respected. From what I have learned most tribes consider a female shifter a blessing from the gods." Isabella told her.

"Truly?" Sue was more than happy to hear how much female shifters were treasured. She wondered how she could get that level of respect bestowed upon her daughter as she was somewhat ostracized by the others for being a girl.

"Yes, I visited a group of Elephant shifters that had a female in their ranks. She was given the title of goddess and was asked to give blessings to all the newborns. They actually prayed to her. She is basically a deity." Isabella still had the ceremonial robes she had been gifted when she stayed with them. She had been honored to have assisted with the birth of two of the children.

"We have one female shifter but as our ancestors had never been exposed to one there was no writings on how to deal with it." Billy thought they would have to reevaluate the way the tribe treated Sue's daughter Leah. What Isabella said made him rethink the way they viewed having a female shifter. They had thought it to be somewhat of a curse but Isabella had a point. If female shifters were so rare they probably were a blessing from the gods.

"I don't know if I will come back to this dimension but I can translate some of the writings I have collected to your language for you to read over. That is only if I return though." Isabella didn't want to make any promises but she felt like this tribe was to isolated. The fact that they had only had one female shifter in their entire history and didn't treat her as if she was the ultimate blessing from the gods was shocking to her.

"We would appreciate that greatly Isabella." Billy really hoped that Isabella came back because he was beyond interested in learning about other tribes. "Do you know of any other shifter communities in this dimension?"

Isabella shook her head. "I try to spend as little time as I can in each dimension as I don't like to be away from my mate or my Rosalie. The reason I went looking for your tribe was because of the interest from my own coven and our queens."

"It still sounds odd to hear of you only having queens." Tanya couldn't imagine a world where the kings weren't in charge. It did seem that Isabella's dimension was more peaceful but they really hadn't asked much about it. They more asked about the things that could help them.

"They are the ones who led the armies. In my dimension most of our rulers are women. I find it strange that women aren't as well respected as men in other places." Isabella didn't understand why someone would want to sensor brilliant minds based on their gender. It never made sense to her.

"There was something interesting Bella had told us about that I didn't know how true it was. She said you had a vial of liquid that could heal all wounds and cure even cancer." Billy didn't know if it was actually possible but he would always regret not asking if it was.

"Yes, it could even repair your body to allow you to walk again." Isabella told Billy.

"Really?" Billy hadn't expected that. "My accident severed my spine and wasn't able to be repaired so I don't know if it would actually work. It's a very old injury."

"That doesn't matter. Two drops would be enough. It would take about an hour to repair your body and it would be extremely painful but it would work. Once done your body would be in peak physical condition." Isabella had seen it heal worse injuries than a severed spine. Her own shoulder injury was more extreme than that.

"Do you have any that we could use?" Sam was now excited as well. The threat of the newborn vampire army was very concerning but if they had something that could heal them easily it would lessen some of his worries about his pack getting hurt. Especially the young ones who shouldn't be shifting at all.

"I gave Carlisle one but I still have a few. As I told him my mate makes me carry them on my person incase something happens during a mission or on my travels." Isabella opened her coat and pulled a vial out of her pouch and handed it to Billy. "I gave Carlisle the recipe but I am unsure if he will be able to recreate it as I have found every dimension is different from the rest so some materials you may not have here."

Billy carefully cradled the vial in his hands. He wasn't a hundred percent sure it could actually heal him but he was willing to try. "How does it work?"

"Well as I said you only need two drops. You simply place them on your tongue and lay down. It will feel like nothing is happening at first but I'm told you start to feel as if you are being electrocuted as it kicks in. The pain depends on how bad the injury is but the healing never takes more than an hour. Sometimes even less." Isabella explained. As she was a vampire it wasn't painful to her at all but to other species it was.

"What happens if you take more than two drops?" Sue asked looking at the vial curiously. Even though they had a doctor who was aware of shifters they really didn't have the knowledge on how to properly take care of their wounds or heal their illnesses. The vial Billy was holding could save many lives.

"Any more than two drops for a human is deadly. It will act in reverse and break down the body completely." Isabella warned. "It's the same with shifters as well because they have a human form and because human blood runs through their veins the liquid reacts the same as a regular human."

"Are you willing to try it Billy?" Quill asked. He didn't want to use his friend as a guinea pig but he wanted to make sure it was safe before they gave it to anyone.

Billy thought it through for a minute. The positives of using it outweighed the negative so it was easy to agree. "I am fine with using it. Let's go back to my house and do it there. Isabella would you mind coming along?"

"Of course not. I will gladly come and help. I have never had a problem when I administered it to others or myself but that was only because they used it properly." Isabella was fine with watching over Billy as he healed. She would be able to sooth the others and stop them from interfering during the process. Isabella had seen what happened while the body was healing itself and onlookers often times became distraught as they watched.

Tanya looked over to her mate standing next to Rosalie watching the shifters with the hover bike. She wanted to go with Isabella but didn't feel with Rosalie's temper that it would be wise to leave her alone. Deciding that if anything happened Isabella could protect herself she made her decision. "I'm going to stay here with Rosalie and Bella. Let me know if you need anything."

"Will do." Isabella called over her shoulder as she followed Sam, the three elders and Jacob Black away from the beach.

"Is she going to be alright with all of them?" Rosalie asked as she watched the group leave. Like Tanya she wanted to go with Isabella but she didn't trust the shifters alone with the hover bike. They had already almost crashed it numerous times and Rosalie had physically intervened to save it from hitting the trees so she didn't think it wise to let it out of her sight.

"It's not her I'm worried about it's the shifters. You know how Isabella is. I just hope she doesn't cause the trust between us and the shifters to break." Tanya said.

Rosalie rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to the hover bike. She wasn't worried about Isabella that much. Isabella could take care of herself. Rosalie was just concerned because no-one was there for Isabella to support her in case something went wrong with the healing. Not knowing if the liquid would actually work she had her doubts and because of those doubts she didn't want Isabella to have to deal with disappointed shifters on her own. Rosalie wished Carlisle was here to help but then quickly dismissed that idea. If he was here then he would probably get into more trouble than Isabella with all his questions and lack of manners he had when Isabella was around. Sighing Rosalie decided that there was nothing to do now but wait and hope that everyone came back in one piece.

"So after using the liquid in the vial Billy was able to walk like he had never been injured at all?" Carlisle was flabbergasted by what Tanya was telling him. The group of four including Rosalie, Isabella and Bella had returned twenty minutes ago and after settling Bella in bed for the night Tanya was now telling them all that transpired. He really wanted to speak to Isabella about it but she had followed Rosalie to her garage after politely declining his request for her to talk with the rest of them.

"Yes. I wasn't there when the actual healing happened but after an hour Billy came running down the beach as fast he could. If I didn't know about his injury before hand I would have thought he was a man in his early thirties at peak physical condition." Tanya had still found the whole situation unbelievable. It made her wish she had been in the room while the healing actually happened.

"Amazing." Eleazar murmured. "Did he see a doctor yet?"

"They had the tribe doctor overseeing the whole process. After it was finished he spent an hour asking Isabella questions. Isabella even gave him another vial of liquid but I'm not sure what it did." Tanya had been too far away to hear what the pair had been talking about and had planned to ask Isabella later. Hopefully Rosalie would make an exception to her no one allowed in her garage rule and allow Tanya to visit with Isabella.

"I wish I had went." Carlisle had wanted to go but the shifters didn't want that many vampires on their lands. He understood that the treaty was in place for a reason but to see such an injury like the one Billy had heal so quickly and completely would have been amazing to see. He also wanted to know about the vial she gave to the shifters.

"What was the tribal bonfire like?" Eleazar was surprised when Tanya told them she, Rosalie and Isabella had been invited to stay for such a sacred event. It was rumored that only those who shifted or knew of the shifters were invited to such meetings.

"After Isabella had spent some time with the doctor and the elders she asked about their history. Billy had offered to share the legends they had and asked her to stay for a bonfire. Before they started the story telling there was a bunch of food made that Rosalie, myself and Isabella ate with them much to their surprise." Tanya had enjoyed being able to share a meal with her mate. It also being the first time she had human food in a thousand years made the whole experience special. It made her understand why Rosalie didn't want to share any of the vials Isabella gave her with anyone. Having a chance to get back a bit of their humanity was priceless. Tanya had planned to ask Isabella later if she had any extra. She had overheard the vampire telling one of the shifters that she carried a large supply because she liked to try different foods each dimensions had to offer.

"Were they hostile towards you at all?" Carlisle was jealous that Tanya had gotten to eat human food. He had asked Rosalie for a sample of the liquid that allowed them to but she had made up numerous excuses to why she couldn't. He honestly didn't blame her but had wanted to know if they could replicate it.

Tanya shook her head. "They were wary of Rosalie and myself but treated Isabella like an honored guest. Several of the people at the bond fire including Sam and the elders gave Isabella hugs as we were leaving."

"That is so incredible. Here Isabella is probably the most dangerous vampire that we have ever encountered to include the Volturi and she easily makes friends with everyone she meets." Eleazar had noticed that it didn't matter who Isabella interacted with they liked her. Even after insulting the wolves during her first meeting with them didn't stop them from treating her like a friend.

"I think it's because there is nothing fake about her at all." Tanya said. "With her it's what you see is what you get. I bet she's a terrible liar."

"That being said we have decided to start training with the wolves tomorrow if you would like to be there." Carlisle was excited for the opportunity to see what the wolves could actually do.

"I'll be there along with Bella. I'm assuming all the others will be there as well?" Tanya asked.

Carlisle nodded. "The whole group of us will be present. Alice said she had caught a glimpse of Victoria talking to someone in a warehouse so we are hoping that we will have some more concrete information when we meet up with the wolves."

"That's good news." Tanya motioned to the door. "I'm going to go spend some time with Isabella. I haven't really gotten a chance to talk to her since she's come back."

"See if you can convince her to come talk to us when you are done." Eleazar had wanted to go with his coven leader but not only did he know she wouldn't want him to but he didn't want to force Isabella to talk to him after she had seemed to want to just spend time with Rosalie.

Tanya could hear a radio playing classic rock and voices when she walked into the garage. She made her way over to where Rosalie and Isabella had been sitting on a couch and smiled at them in greeting. "I hope I'm not interrupting."

"Not at all. You are more than welcome to spend time with us." Isabella told her. "Why don't you take a seat?"

"Are you sure?" Tanya looked to Rosalie for permission. This was her space and she didn't like others in it.

"It's fine." Rosalie reassured her. It was because Tanya was Isabella's dimensional mate that Rosalie gave her the invitation. Turning back to Isabella she asked. "So what did she do to him?"

"Well in her state of anger she grabbed him by the back of the neck and took him from my workroom in the castle and brought him to the training grounds. "Isabella said picking up where she left off in her story." There she marched to the middle of the training grounds, whistled to get everyone's attention and when she had it she threw Emmett on ground and then promised three vials of tralief to the first person to make him beg for death."

Rosalie laughed. "Oh man that's brutal. How long did he last?"

"She came and collected him after two hours. I have to give him credit though he never asked for death." Isabella was still impressed with how Emmett handled the whole thing.

"What are you guys talking about?" Tanya didn't understand why Rosalie would laugh at her mate being tortured. "Did your queens punish your Emmett?"

"No not at all. They would have been much more merciful than my Rosalie was. I was telling Rosalie what happened to my Emmett when they found out that he punched a hole in my shoulder." Isabella told her.

"Jesus, she let her mate be beat on like that for hurting you?" Tanya was under the impression that a vampire would never even consider hurting their mate and would give their lives to protect them from harm.

"My Rosalie and I have a bond that in some ways is stronger than a mate bond. Marcus told us it is very rare. Familiar bonds happen all the time but the familiar bond that my Rosalie and myself share is as close to a true soulmate as one could get. That's why our mates get so upset with us with all the time we spend together. They try to contain their jealously and we both know it hurts them but we would pick each other over our mates if it came to it." Isabella and her Rosalie had never told their mates of the intensity of their bond. Nothing good would come of it. It was a secret they shared only with Marcus and his mate Didyme.

"Does this bond follow through dimensions as well?" Tanya didn't know what to think about what Isabella was saying. She wasn't sure she could accept someone having such a bond with her mate.

"Yes and no. Yes familiar bonds follow through but the intensity of the bond I have with my Rosalie I have yet to find anyone else to have. Even though myself in other dimensions have familiar bonds with their Rosalie none of them are as strong as my own with my Rosalie." Isabella explained.

"So you are saying I have a familiar bond with Bella?" Rosalie didn't know how she felt about that. She had been taking time to get to know Bella and was finding she actually liked the human but didn't think they were bonded.

Isabella nodded. "You might feel a fondness for her now but when she is turned you will see her like a sister."

"That's not so bad." Tanya could handle someone seeing Bella as a sister. That would just mean that Bella had more people that would protect her if she was ever in danger.

"No it's not." Rosalie agreed. With Bella no longer with Edward she would actually welcome having Bella as a sister.

"Before I forget I was wondering if you had any more of that, what did you call it tralief?" Tanya asked.

"Yes I do. I was able to choose where I went last time and stocked up with extra to share with those in that dimension. Unfortunately for them I was pulled here before we had a chance to celebrate bringing Tanya and her Isabella together. In that dimension she was called Isa." Isabella couldn't imagine being called anything but her full name even though Kate tried to give her nicknames constantly.

"Could I please have some?" Tanya asked.

Isabella opened her coat and pulled out four vials and handed them to Tanya. "I would give you more but I don't know how long I will be here and I like to find different foods to bring back to my coven and the queens. That reminds me, I need an onion plant to bring home. Do you know where we could get one?"

"There is a gardening store in town. Maybe you can find some other plants that will be of interest. I can take you." Rosalie offered. She liked spending time with Isabella and it wasn't often that Isabella wasn't being pestered by someone asking her tons of questions.

"What was in the vial that you gave the doctor on the beach?" Tanya asked.

"It was a sedative that only works on shifters. I came across it during my travels and keep some with me on the off chance I encounter shifters. It helps when they need surgery or limbs have to be broken to be reset so they can heal properly. I have found that most pain medications don't work on shifters but this one does. "Isabella explained.

"What are in the other vials you have?" Rosalie had seen at least a half dozen different colors of liquid in Isabella's pocket.

"Well there are the three you already know about then there is this one." Isabella pointed to one filled with bright red liquid that almost looked like blood. "This helps control bloodlust. I personally developed this one. It makes it so a vampire who is too far gone can gain control again. It is used for vampires who haven't fed for a very long time and to help newborns through their first year."

"What exactly does it do to the vampire?" Tanya wondered if that could help Bella when she was turned. Her mate had told her that she only wanted to feed off of animals and if Isabella had a way to get her through the worst of her urges that would probably save her mate from the heartache that came when a vegetarian vampire slipped and killed a human.

"It's like a pure injection of human blood into your veins. Your thirst is eased completely and your body is straightened back to it's healthiest point even if you have been starved for years." Isabella told them. "I have been involved in many situations where a vampire has been tortured by starvation and nothing short of death would be a mercy. That's why I worked so hard to make this. The reactions newborns have to it are just a side effect that I didn't expect."

"Do you think if we gave this to Bella when she is turned it could help her with her control?" Tanya asked.

Isabella thought about how it would work with a newborn animal drinking vampire. "If you were to administer it when she first wakes up it would help clear her mind enough that you would be able to reason with her. After that I would only use it when you were around humans. I recommend that you taper her off it as you reintroduce her to society."

"Do you have enough that I could have to help her get through it?" Tanya was now even more excited for her mate. If what Isabella was saying was true then Bella could make it through her first year unscathed. Returning to civilization would also be a lot easier if she had the help of the liquid.

"I don't have a full years worth but I have enough that you could make it through the first few months which we all know are the hardest. If I am able to return I will bring you more." Isabella handed Tanya four vials. "Just know you don't have to use the whole vial for it to work."

Tanya carefully cradled the vials in her hand afraid of breaking them. "Thank you Isabella. I hope you do come back but next time for a visit not because we are in danger."

"What are the other two colors for?" If the other four vials had such amazing things in them then Rosalie couldn't imagine what the last two were.

Bella handed her a vial with blue liquid in it. "This is a vial I keep around for fun."

"What makes this vial fun?" Rosalie asked.

"That vial contains something that when you drink it it makes you stronger, faster and more durable than you already are." Isabella told them.

"You mean it's like steroids for vampires?" Rosalie looked at the blue liquid and tried to see what it was made of. It looked like blue cool aide.

Isabella nodded. "Exactly like steroids for vampires. It lasts for about thirty minutes and you have to wait an hour in between doses but for that thirty minutes you are invincible. Even your skin hardens. After drinking one of these I saw a vampire bitten by one of the children of the moon and it didn't even scratch her skin."

"Holy shit." Tanya couldn't imagine what someone would do to get their hands on the vial Rosalie held. A half hour for a vampire was a long time. Long enough to cause a lot of damage. If the knowledge that something like this existed got out many would be fighting to get it. Tanya didn't even want to think of what the Volturi would do.

"I don't think we should tell anyone about this." Rosalie was thinking along the same lines as Tanya. Many would fight for a chance to get the vial she was holding.

"I don't think we should either." Tanya agreed. She wasn't even going to tell her own coven. The less people who knew about this the better. That didn't mean she didn't want to have some on hand though. "Can you spare extras of these as well or do you use them yourself?"

"No I don't use it." Isabella had tried it once but she didn't like the way it made her feel. Plus she was strong enough with her shield alone that she didn't need any enhancements. "As for having more I can give you my supply because I don't really have a need for them. Like I said I keep them around for fun."

Rosalie took the six vials that Isabella handed her and put them in one of her toolboxes. She would find a better place to hide them later but for now her toolbox was the safest as no-one ever had a reason to go in there. "I'll keep them here for now then we can find a safe place to put them later."

"That should be fine." Tanya didn't have anywhere to put them without someone finding them. She was just happy that it was Rosalie and not someone else who had been here when they found out about it. Rosalie knew how to keep a secret so Tanya wasn't afraid of her telling anyone.

"So for the last vial." Isabella held up a vial full of green liquid. "This contains something that allows you to be in the sun without sparkling."

"Seriously?" Rosalie now was even more excited. Not only could she eat human food but she could go to the beach.

Isabella nodded. "Yes. I keep these on me incase I have to be involved with humans. This was actually created by my Tanya."

"What is it made out of and how long does it last?" Tanya was already imagining all the vacations she and Bella could go on if they could be safe from the sun.

"It lasts for about twelve hours but to be on the safe side I would recommend not counting on more than eleven. As to what it's made of it's plant based. My Tanya is big on horticulture and has numerous greenhouses that I help her fill with various plants I bring back from each dimension. To make this she combined many different plants from different dimensions. I have yet to come across anything similar." Isabella was extremely proud of her wife's achievements.

Rosalie deflated a little as she realized there was no way they would be able to replicate it themselves. "I know we keep asking but do you have any extra of those?"

"You two may not be my Tanya and my Rosalie but I would still do anything to help you. I also know that my mate would be angry with me if I didn't share this stuff with you." Isabella was telling the truth. Often times when she came home with left over supplies her wife had lectured her on being selfish. Most of the vials she got from different dimensions they had stock piles of so it wasn't a great loss if she came home with none. Isabella however liked to hang on to some in case of emergencies like when she had gotten dragged here twice.

"How do you want to handle these?" Rosalie asked Tanya. Isabella transferred the vials she kept into the smaller pouch and handed Rosalie a dozen green ones in the larger pouch she had.

Tanya thought about what they should do with all the things Isabella had given them. It seemed that there wasn't anyway to make anymore themselves so Tanya didn't want to share with too many people what they got." The only stuff that everyone knows about is the tralief and the healing serum. I think that no one else needs to know about what Isabella has given us. Would you mind not telling anyone about this?"

"If you don't want me to I won't." Isabella easily agreed. Her only loyalty to those in this dimension was to Tanya, Rosalie and Bella. The rest of the group weren't that important to her in any way.

"For now let's keep them here. How do you feel about installing a safe somewhere that only the two of us know about." Tanya was extra glad that Isabella had given them the mental blocks because it meant that there was no way for anyone to get the information out of them unless given willingly.

"I could do that. We aren't meeting the wolves until the afternoon tomorrow so in the morning I will take Isabella to the gardening store and while we are out we can make a trip to pick up a safe. I just have to find a place that will have the one we want." Rosalie said.

"It's sounds like we have a plan. "Tanya stood and put her hand on Isabella's shoulder. "Once again I owe you a debt for all you have done for and given us. Even now you are here to save my life and the life of my mate. I know I will never be able to repay you but know that I appreciate all that you have done."

Isabella smiled at Tanya. "I would do anything for you. I told you before. I do all this because I love you so much."

"Regardless thank you. I'm going to go in and spend the rest of the night with Bella. I put her to sleep in a guest room so I wouldn't have to be away from her while we talked." Tanya made her way to the door waving over her shoulder as the words of goodbye sounded behind her. With the gifts Isabella had given them Tanya now had many things to think about. Not only did Isabella give Bella a chance to make it through her newborn year unscathed she gave Tanya a chance to regain some of her humanity so she had the chance to experience the world the way Bella did. The only problem with everything was who would be safe enough to tell. She needed to be careful with everything they just learned. As she shed her clothes and slid into bed with Bella she felt thankful that it was only Rosalie with them when Isabella gave them those vials because anyone who knew about them could possibly be in great danger if others found out about their existence.

"So do you want just seeds or actual plants?" Rosalie asked Isabella as the pair walked around a gardening store. They had spent the night in Rosalie's garage working on one of Rosalie's project cars. Rosalie had enjoyed the time explaining to Isabella how gasoline engines worked but she mostly liked when Isabella talked to her about the many different vehicles she had discovered on her travels. It made Rosalie sad that she never got to meet her counterpart from Isabella's dimension because it seemed like they would get along great.

"I would prefer plants however with the unknown situation we are involved with it wouldn't be smart to buy a bunch of plants that we need to take care of." Isabella would have loved to bring a few live plants home but didn't think they had the time to properly take care of them with a newborn army on it's way.

"Well they have seed containers that have the fertilizer and soil with them you just have to plant and water. They are like starter plants so you don't have to worry about just planting a seed and hoping it will grow." Rosalie had seen Esme use them with her garden.

"I would like to find a new type of flower for my Tanya." Isabella said.

Rosalie motioned to a section of the store that was dedicated to flowers. "These are all the flowers they have in bloom. They have seeds of course for ones that aren't in season."

"This one is beautiful what is it?" Isabella picked up a white flower with various designs of purple and yellow.

"That is a butterfly Iris." Rosalie read from the card in front of the display.

"This one is perfect for Tanya. Do they have a book with information on how to care for it?" Isabella always tried to get books on how to take care of the plants she acquired for Tanya. It was silly to give her something and her not able to make it grow.

"I'm sure they have books on how to take care of most of the plants. If not the store employee would be able to tell you." Rosalie said.

"Good then let's get some seeds for these." Isabella went to the wall of the store that seemed to have all different packets of seeds. She found a few that were familiar but most were not. "I think I'm going to get a bunch of different packets and then get some gardening books on how to grow them."

"If they don't have the books here then you could always look online and we can have the books delivered to our house." Rosalie told her.

"That's a good idea. "Isabella would like to see what other things she could find on the internet for gifts for her coven and the queens. Picking a few of the seed containers Rosalie had told her about Isabella decided she had enough to keep her wife happy. "That should be it."

"Then all we have to do is pay then we can go home." Rosalie said.

"Oh yes this dimension uses money." Isabella set her basket down on the floor and pulled out a small box.

Rosalie watched in fascination as Isabella scrolled across a screen on the top of the box and tapped on the screen. The box flashed a blue light and when Isabella opened it it was filled with hundred dollar bills. "How did you get all that cash?"

"I always carry precious metals with me to each dimension. You never know when you are going to need to pay for something. Last time I was here I stopped at a jewelry store and traded a gold bar for some cash. The lady was even nice enough to throw in a necklace for my Rosalie." Isabella told her.

"You carry gold bars with you?" Rosalie asked in disbelief.

"Well not just gold bars. Each dimension considers different metals and jewels valuable. In less technological advanced civilizations they value gold the most." Isabella never understood that as gold couldn't really be used for many purposes.

"So you just carry random metals around with you everywhere?" Isabella nodded so Rosalie asked another question. "Where do you keep it? I mean I know you keep a lot of stuff in your jacket but there is no way you can carry that much stuff without everyone knowing."

Isabella pulled some cash out of the box she was holding, closed it and tapped the screen three times. The blue light flashed twice and when Isabella opened it again there was a gold bar inside. "This device is able to shrink small objects down enough that you can store them in it."

Rosalie didn't think she understood correctly. "This can actually shrink things?"

"Yes." Isabella stood next to Rosalie and showed her the box again." It's called something that you don't have the proper words in your language to translate. How it works is you see all the options on the screen. When I want the gold bar to disappear back in storage I simply select the storage option and the item is immediately shrunken down and stored. When I want to make something bigger, let's say a diamond I simply select jewels, then diamond and it becomes regular sized."

"That's amazing."" Rosalie picked up the diamond and noticed it was perfect. You would have never known that it had been shrunken down. "Do they make bigger versions of these devices?"

"They do, however I don't have any with me. I found this in the dimension with the robots. That's how I got them home to my Rosalie." Isabella explained.

Although it was amazing to hear that bigger versions existed Rosalie was saddened to not have access to such technology. "I hate to sound like a broken record but you don't have an extra one of these do you?"

"I don't. However I am willing to give you mine as I can easily get another. I just need to get something to put my stuff in. Unless you want what's in it already." Isabella didn't keep all her money for different dimensions with her. Nor did she keep all of her metals and jewels with her. The device could only hold so much.

"I would love that. Do you think when we get back you could show me what else you keep in there?" Rosalie was getting excited at the prospect of seeing what different things Isabella kept as essentials for her travels.

"Sure." Isabella didn't mind spending more time with Rosalie. If she was honest with herself Rosalie was the only one she really liked in this dimension. That wasn't saying she didn't like Tanya and Bella. It was just hard to be around Tanya as she was a constant reminder that she was away from her own mate. Bella she didn't know that well as it seemed the girl wasn't comfortable around her. Isabella found that to be normal with each dimension she visited. Most other versions of herself couldn't wrap their minds around meeting another version of themselves. The others were either resentful at not having the gift to travel or extremely excited about learning everything they could about their shields.

"Let's go pay for this stuff and get home. The wolves will be there soon." Rosalie said.

Isabella waited until they paid and were back in the car before she spoke. "I am very interested in seeing how the wolves preform."

"Have you been around many shifters before?" Rosalie asked.

"I stayed with elephant shifters for a few days. They were nice and accepted me after I offered them the healing medicine." Isabella had been planning on visiting them in the future. "When I met the jaguar shifters I had nothing to offer them so to earn a conversation with their chief I had to fight the best warrior they had. I won and was treated like an honored guest after that. I spent some time there training them on proper ways to kill a vampire. They are the ones who shared the pain medicine for the wolves."

"So you have trained shifters to fight vampires?" Seeing Isabella nod she asked." Why would you do that?"

"As you know not all vampires are kind and fair. I believe all creatures should at least get a fighting chance if they are attacked." It was Isabella's policy to train any that came to her with a pure heart. It was easy to see when someone was just wanting to gain power and the many like that she had turned away.

"Are you going to help train us to fight the newborns?" Rosalie would gladly learn anything Isabella had to teach her.

Isabella shrugged. "I'm not a member of your covens so it wouldn't be my place to be the leader of the training. Besides I think Liam and Jasper are the ones who have the most experience out of all you."

"Yes but I have a feeling that you have more experience in battle than all of us combined. "Rosalie noticed that Isabella used the phrase all of you.

"Even though I have been in many battles even in my human life it doesn't give me the right to have any role of power in your groups. I am simply a guest. If asked for my opinion I will give it but I will not take over training." Isabella knew what happened when an outsider took over training. The respect for the groups best warriors went down and most of the time the warriors themselves lost some of their self esteem at being bested.

"Well then will you train me on my own. I have been working on my gift and have made progress but I still don't know how to properly use my daggers." Kate had been away so Rosalie hadn't had a teacher and had been relying on videos and books to learn basic techniques. She was nowhere near a level she was comfortable using them against an enemy.

Isabella sighed. She really wished she could tell Rosalie no. "I will train you but you still have to participate in the group training. Learning to work with the others is just as important as having to work by yourself."

"Thank you Isabella." Rosalie was now really looking forward to training. She had worried that she wouldn't really benefit from what the others were going to be teaching but having one on one time with Isabella would make her better than training with the group.

"It's no problem. Even if I will be protecting you on the battlefield it would be good for you to know how to protect yourself." Isabella's main job may be keeping Tanya and Bella alive but that didn't mean she was going to leave the rest of the group on their own.

"I know that I feel better with you fighting on our side." Rosalie had already been planning on having her and Emmett stay close to Isabella when they were facing the newborns. It would take some effort to get her husband to not rush off into battle. She would have to figure out a way to keep Emmett close. Maybe while she was training with Isabella she could find out something Isabella could do that Emmett would think was cool enough to be involved with. Rosalie was sure Isabella hadn't even shown them a tenth of the things she could do and one of those thing would probably be enough to hold Emmett's attention. As she drove up the driveway to their home Rosalie hoped that her mate wouldn't be overly confident to the point of getting killed. She shook that thought away. Isabella wouldn't let that happen. She had enough faith in her friend that she knew Isabella would do all she could to keep everyone safe. Rosalie bet that if she wanted to Isabella could take care of the whole army by herself.

"I know she isn't a vampire yet but I was wondering if you would be willing to do some training with Bella?" Tanya asked Isabella while waiting for her turn to fight. The entire group of vampires staying at the Cullen's' plus all of the wolves had shown up for training. After Jasper had given them the run down on what to expect from newborn vampires he, Liam and Siobhan were observing three pairs of fighters. Tanya had been disappointed when Isabella had declined to lead the training and she could tell she wasn't the only one. She just hoped that Isabella would be willing to work with her mate so that when Bella did turn she would be able to at least defend herself properly.

"Sure does she want to start now or should we wait?" Isabella was actually getting kind of bored just watching the fights. The wolves hadn't joined in the training yet and were just watching what was going on.

"I want to start now." Although she was kind of intimidated by Isabella, Bella wanted to learn how to fight and Isabella was the best person to teach her.

"Ok I usually team up with Rosalie when I fight and if they are with me Emmett and Kate. So it would be better for them to help us so you can see how I can manipulate my shield while in battle." Isabella said.

"We're in." Emmett didn't even hesitate to help out. Rosalie had told him that Isabella had promised to train her privately and he had been trying to figure out a way to get the woman to let him join in too.

"Can I use your sword?" Kate was more than willing to fight along side Isabella. Kate was a warrior and thought of Isabella as a kindred spirit in that regard.

"You're not using her sword Kate." Tanya shut that idea down right away. "Would it be alright if I join the four of you as well?"

"Sorry I should have included you. My Tanya doesn't fight and when I go to other dimensions their Tanya and Bella's always stay together while the four of us do the dangerous stuff." Isabella said.

"So we are like each dimension's special forces?" Emmett liked the idea of being each dimension's defender.

"I don't have to fight in every dimension but in the few I had to I always pair up with you three. Sometime Garrett joins but usually only if the situation calls for someone stealthy." Isabella told them.

"I'm used for my stealth?" Garrett asked.

Isabella turned to look at him noticing that the fighting had stopped and everyone had their attention fixed on her. "You are the best scout I have ever come across so I send you to places that we need spying done or when there is the need for something stolen or sabotaged."

"Amazing." Garrett didn't think of himself as someone able to do those types of things but from what he was told everything Isabella had told the others about themselves turned out to be true. "How do I go about learning how to do that stuff?"

Isabella sighed realizing that getting out of leading the training was no longer an option. "I can teach you, as I have taught other versions of you."

"Would you be willing to run some drills with us?" Liam wasn't offended that the others looked to Isabella for help. She was probably the best person for the job because she had worked with so many different versions of them and would be able to teach them the best techniques based on how she saw their other dimensional selves fight.

"Yes I suppose I can." Isabella begrudgingly agreed.

"This is so awesome!"Kate cheered. If Isabella used her, Rosalie and Emmett as her regular fighting team then Kate was positive she was about to learn some awesome new moves.

"How would you like to set this up?" Jasper was happy to turn over the training to Isabella as well. He didn't like the attention and his expertise was limited to newborns not mature vampires.

"I want us to break up in covens as that is how you will always want to defend your own but instead of all the Denali joining together I want Irina and Garrett to stay with the Irish coven and Carmen and Eleazar stay with the Cullen's. Rosalie, Emmett, Tanya and Kate will stay with me. "Isabella waited until all of them joined their assigned groups. "To start things off we should have my group stand to the side and the two other groups fight each other. I know we are going against newborns but it's important to see where we are at before we focus on a specific threat."

"Are you sure Garrett shouldn't stay with us?" Kate trusted Isabella but she didn't want to be separated from her mate.

Isabella shook her head. "Garrett's skills won't normally be used in the main fighting. Until he's had time to train to use his skills it's better for him to learn how to fight in a group. You, myself and the others in our group are usually used for offering distractions for Garrett. That's why it's important that we train to become more comfortable with each other."

"I guess that makes sense." Kate felt better knowing that it was up to her to keep the attention off her mate. If she couldn't be with him at least she could always go save him if something happened.

"Ok some ground rules. No biting or ripping off limbs." Isabella didn't want to deal with mates getting angry with the person who did that to their mates. It would just escalate into a real brawl as the other members of their covens got involved. "Set yourselves up in formation like you usually would and begin."

"Shit." Emmett mumbled awed with the sight in front of him. He didn't think they were actually going to go all out but as he watched Siobhan slam Jasper to the ground by the neck and Alice jump on Irina's back he realized that no-one was going to leave training without injuries.

Isabella watched them for a few minutes then called them to a stop. "Ok that's enough."

"How did we do?" Irina asked. She didn't think fighting would be different now that she was mated but as soon as she saw Maggie was in danger she felt like she lost all reason and wanted to kill whoever hurt her mate. Unfortunately that person was Esme and she was now sporting some cracks on her cheeks.

"You did well, however you aren't using your natural talents properly." Isabella had seen most of the groups relying on just their basic vampire enhancements instead of using their gifts. "For instance Jasper, you have the gift to control emotions. You told me you have been making progress with your gift so you should be relying on that more than your actual fighting ability. Instead of going in for the kill right away partner up with your mate who isn't able to defend herself as well as the others due to her size and use your gift to make the enemy lethargic. I know you think that making them afraid would be better but we don't want them to run we want to kill them. So if you immobilize them then Alice can quickly take their heads off. Also it would make it so if Alice ran into trouble you would be right there to help her."

Jasper had never thought of actually using his gift to immobilize the enemy. During his fighting years it hadn't been strong enough to be effectual in battle. What Isabella said made sense and the idea of having Alice close to him so he could help her was very appealing. "I understand. Thank you for the new perspective."

"Yeah thanks Isabella." Alice liked the idea of actually being able to fight and not having to hide in the back like they had originally planned.

"So how about us?" Siobhan asked.

"Your group did well however you weren't using the actual abilities that I told you about last time I was here. Siobhan you are stronger then everyone here but you don't use your strength and are just dodging and trying to find a way to get in and out quickly. That is a good idea for most but you can easily stop a punch from someone as big as Emmett so you don't need to dodge. You could grab the hand swinging at you and use your grip on it to rip the owner's arm off or even block the punch and fire one back to their head. I have seen you numerous times hit a vampire hard enough that their heads snap off. That's how strong you can be. I think you should spend some time working with Emmett as he is a fighter that usually relies on his strength." Isabella said.

"Would you be willing to help me Emmett?" Siobhan wasn't sure she was as strong as Isabella believed but she had been working out and had noticed an improvement.

"Yeah totally." Emmett was more than willing to help someone learn how to fight. Siobhan was a known warrior and he was sure he would learn some new skills from her.

"Now for Liam. I see that you jumped right into the fight without really paying attention to the others in your group. You shouldn't do that. You are a strategist. You should be hanging back from the others and directing them on where they would be the most useful on the battlefield. I'm not saying you shouldn't fight, I'm saying that you are more valuable to the group if you can see what's going on." Isabella could see that Liam didn't really like the idea of not being at the front lines but he needed to get over it if he wanted to be the best he could be.

"How would that work if they couldn't hear me?" Liam understood what Isabella was saying. His instincts would demand he defend his coven by being in the thick of it but if he could help them gain victory by staying behind them he would do it.

"You guys have communication technology right? "Isabella was happy when she saw them nodding. "Then purchase some stuff to use during battle. It would be wise for each group to have their own frequencies so that you aren't confused."

Rosalie felt like face palming herself for not thinking about that. It was such a simple thing that would help them hear over the loud sounds of battle. She once again thanked any deity listening for sending Isabella to their dimension to help them. "I will find some stuff after we finish today."

"So as for Maggie and Irina." Both perked up hearing Isabella saying their names. "You are a newly mated couple. There is no way that you will be able to be apart from each other. So just stay together. You both should do something similar to Jasper and Alice but customized to your gifts. What you should do is have Irina work as a body guard while Maggie uses her gift to convince the newborns that they are on the wrong side of the fight. Since it would only work on one vampire at a time you should stay in the back of the formation. Even if you only convince two or three it will give you extra vampires fighting on your side. Them being disposable to us makes it so we don't have to protect them and it will free up others to take on more of the enemy."

"We can do that." Maggie was excited to try using her gift in such a way. She wasn't the greatest fighter having Liam and Siobhan always there to protect her so being able to do something that would help the others was satisfying. She also liked that Isabella understood the new mate bond. Maggie knew there was no way for her or Irina to be apart from each other while there was danger.

"How about the rest of us?" Carlisle was interested in what Isabella would say about those left as none them had gifts that would be helpful in a fight. However like all things he predicted Isabella would prove him wrong.

"You, Carmen and Esme should be used as body guards for Eleazar." Seeing their confused looks Isabella explained. "Eleazar has one of the most valuable gifts out of any of us in any of the groups here right now. He can spot vampires with gifts. That will make it so we can deal with them right away. Him knowing exactly what they are will also tell us who to send after them. While he is focusing his gift scanning the enemy you three need to keep him safe."

"I never thought of using my gift in battle before." In the Volturi Eleazar's gift was only used at the castle. He hadn't realized how useful it would be against others. He now felt grateful that the Volturi never came to the same conclusion Isabella did. Eleazar didn't think they would have let him leave if they had.

"Enough about these guys are we going to go through some moves to?" Emmett was getting impatient. If Isabella could find so many things for the others to improve on then he was excited to find out what she would tell him.

"The rest of us aren't going to be fighting anyone." Isabella cut off both Emmett and Kate before they could complain. "It's too dangerous. Even if we went against everyone here including the wolves."

"You all are that powerful together?" Jasper wasn't sure how that could be but he was more than excited to find out.

Isabella nodded. "Even without my gift we are that powerful. Especially with Emmett and Rosalie's weapons."

"Oh my god this is so cool." Kate was almost vibrating with how excited she was to learn from Isabella.

"Since Bella wanted to learn some techniques with how to use her shield we should start with a few of those moves." Isabella motioned for Emmett. "At the count of three I want you to run at me as fast as you can and put your foot in my hand so I can throw you."

"I got this." Emmett waited until three before he ran at full speed towards Isabella putting his foot in her hand like she said. He wasn't expecting to go far but as he was sailing over a bunch of trees on the other side of the meadow he felt like he was flying.

"Holy shit." Tanya couldn't believe what she was seeing. There was no way someone as small as Isabella could throw Emmett that far. Hell she didn't think any vampire could throw Emmett that far.

"Is he going to be ok?" Rosalie trusted Isabella but was somewhat worried for her mate.

"Yes, he should be back in a second." Isabella assured her.

As Isabella predicted Emmett came running through the trees less than a minute later with a big smile on his face. "Did you guys see me?"

"Can I go next?" Kate asked. Now that she had confirmation that Emmett was fine she wanted to see how far Isabella could throw her.

"Nobody is going next." Tanya wasn't going to let them get off track during training just so Kate could play with Isabella. "How did you do that?"

"I used my shield. You see Bella with practice you can use your shield to add force to your movements." Isabella explained. "I am at the point where I can punch through a vampire as easily as Emmett can with his gloves. That was actually how I came up with the idea to make them."

"So you're saying that I could be able to punch through anything once I'm a vampire?" Bella didn't think she would ever be able to do that. Isabella had a lot more training than she would ever get.

"Yes easily. One of the things I want to train Emmett on now that he has his gloves is for me to push enemies his way so he can quickly kill them." Isabella had used this technique with the others but with the gloves Emmett would be more efficient.

"What do you mean?" Emmett asked.

"Can I have a volunteer?" Isabella asked giving a nod of thanks when Jasper walked over to her. "Ok Emmett say that we are getting overwhelmed but I can't stop to take care of everyone I come across. So stand over there and catch Jasper. When he's going towards you I want you to envision all the ways you could use your gloves to kill him. Only envision it though don't actually hurt him."

"I got this." Emmett stood to the side while Isabella and Jasper stood on the other. After setting up so Jasper was facing Isabella, Isabella pushed him sending flying towards Emmett. He did as he was told and thought of all the ways he could have killed Jasper as he came barreling into his chest causing them both to tumble to the ground.

"Jasper!" Alice rushed over to her husband to make sure he was alright. She sighed in relief when she didn't see any damage.

"I'm fine Alice." Jasper could admit it was kind of fun flying across the field like he was. As vampires they didn't get a rush like humans going on amusement park rides but when Isabella pushed him, he felt like he was going faster than the speed of sound.

"As you could see I didn't even use any of my body's strength to push him that far. In a fight I don't say in one area. My shield will always protect my body so I allow the others to focus where they are and go where I'm needed. The only thing is that even I can't take care of every vampire. That's why you should all train with the same groups and with the others. It will make it so you are comfortable with the roles each of you will play during the battle. Your goal is to get to the point where working with your group is instinctual. My Rosalie and I are almost always sent to deal with threats alone because we are so in-tuned with each other. However we have a powerful bond that makes us the exception so I don't recommend taking on threats by yourselves." Isabella didn't want them to get too cocky and think they could take on the world.

"So how should we train?" Liam asked. He would have to thank Isabella later for all the help she had given his coven. She was only there for Tanya and Bella but had gone out of her way to make sure she left everyone with the tools to be the best they could be. He admired her patience with the people she dealt with. He didn't know anyone who wouldn't have snapped with all the questions and demands the others made of her.

"I think for now everyone get into your groups and discuss strengths and weaknesses. Something we should consider getting is body targets so we can run through scenarios without hurting each other." Isabella said.

"Those are easy to get." Rosalie already knew a few places they could pick them up at.

"Great so everyone break up into groups." Isabella turned to the wolves. "You guys should probably spread out and watch the different groups so you can understand the mindset of a mature vampire. You are sworn protectors of your lands so it wouldn't be good if you didn't know how to fight all your enemies."

Tanya smiled when most of the wolves moved so they could watch her group. It was obvious they wanted to learn from Isabella. The only thing stopping them was a sharp bark from their alpha making the pack spread out. "Where do you want Bella for this?"

"Bella can stand behind me if she feels comfortable. My shield is always activated and for some reason recognizes my other dimensional selves so if she is close to me it will protect her as well." Isabella figured it had to do with her dimensional travel gift. Her purpose was too protect Bella and Tanya so it was only natural that it would recognize Bella and protect her as well.

"Then she should stand with you." Tanya was now feeling a lot better about keeping Bella alive during the fight. She hadn't expected Isabella to be able to protect her mate so easily. Now she would have to figure out how to use it when the time came to fight the newborns. Isabella was going to be one of the main fighters but having Bella near her would be the best idea to keep her away from anyone getting to her. Tanya would make sure she and Bella talked to Isabella about it later. Now she needed to focus on what she could learn from Isabella. Looking around she noticed that the others had taken Isabella's suggestions to heart and were practicing ways to use her advice. Tanya figured it was going to be a long day but knew by the end of it the progress they made would make it all worth it.

"That was Billy on phone. The wolves have caught the scent of a vampire on their lands. They believe the scent is fresh." Carlisle told the group hanging out in the front yard of the Cullen's' home. It was the unofficial hang out for the group as they all didn't fit in the house together comfortably.

"Excellent. Rosalie, Kate, Emmett let's go hunting." Isabella said enthusiastically. She had been somewhat bored hanging around waiting for something to happen. They had been training the last two days and decided to take the day off for the wolves to rest and the vampires to spend time with their mates. Most of the vampires were just spending time talking and practicing moves while Rosalie and Alice were helping Isabella shop online for different gifts for her coven and the queens. They had promised that they could get it shipped quickly to the post office box they rented so that Isabella would be able to get the items before she went home.

"Let me get my gloves!" Emmett took off into the house to do just that.

"Should I bring my daggers?" Rosalie asked Isabella. She was somewhat excited to get a chance to use some of the moves Isabella had taught her.

"No need. We are going in stealthy." Isabella turned her attention to the group. "I need Maggie and Jasper to come as well."

"What about us?" Irina wasn't sure about her mate going after an unknown threat alone.

"My apologies you as well Irina. I'm going to teach Jasper and Maggie how to use their gifts to interrogate someone so they give up the information willingly, "Isabella started moving to the woods.

"Don't you need to know where they found the scent?" Carlisle asked. He didn't understand why Isabella didn't want all of them to go and capture the vampire but trusted she knew what she was doing.

"If someone is out there we'll find them." Isabella called over her shoulder as she, Rosalie, Emmett, Irina, Kate, Maggie and Jasper made their way into the woods. She stopped them a few miles into their walk. "Ok now that it's only us here I have us shielded from everything so we can't be seen, heard, even our scent is eliminated."

"How are we going to find this guy? None of us are trackers. Kate was almost vibrating with excitement at finally being able to do something.

"You don't need to have a gift to be a tracker. Just follow my lead and I'll teach you as we go along." Isabella started running in a jog pointing out different things the group should focus on to find their prey. As she realized they were close she held up her hand to stop everyone. She listened for a minute until she heard a rustling coming from ahead of them.

"Holy shit." Emmett said as a male vampire with sandy blond hair came walking towards them. He had been paying attention to Isabella's teachings but didn't think they would get so close to the guy they were tracking without actually having a gift.

"Shush." Rosalie was just as surprised as Emmett that they had found the guy so quickly. She had paid careful attention to what Isabella had told them about tracking but was going to ask some more questions when they got a chance later. Rosalie had a feeling Isabella could have already captured the vampire and wanted to practice to see if she could get as skilled as Isabella.

"Emmett I want you and Kate to grab him. Kate don't shock him just hold him." Isabella said.

"Got it." Emmett with Kate on the other side of him grabbed the startled vampire and held him tight.

"Good now Jasper. I want you to manipulate his emotions so all his is feeling is overwhelming happiness." Jasper focused his gift and as it began to affect the vampire the man became more compliant. " Ok now for Maggie. I need you to be visible so that you can use your gift."

"What should I do?" Maggie was happy that Isabella had included her and didn't want to mess up. Learning how to get information from someone without having to use force was a very handy skill. One that would be very valuable for her coven.

"As Irina won't be able to be away from you I want you both to stand close enough to him and make him believe the we are all old friends and he is here to invite us to join Victoria." Isabella had faith Maggie could do it. She had seen other Maggie's convince people of far more complicated things.

"I'll try." Maggie felt Irina walk a step behind her as she approach the smiling vampire being held in Kate and Emmett's grasp. "Hey you're finally here."

The vampire looked at her in confusion. "Do I know you?"

"Of course you do. We are old friends." Maggie almost sighed in relief when the man suddenly had a look of recognition in his eye. "You were going to invite us to join you in helping Victoria remember?"

"Oh yeah." The vampire nodded his head in agreement. "I'm glad I found you so easily. There are some shifters in these woods so you have to be careful."

"That's good to know thank you for the warning." Maggie was a little lost at what to do next.

Noticing this Isabella revealed herself, Rosalie and Jasper. "Hey I'm Becca, Maggie's friend I didn't catch your name."

"I'm Riley. It's nice to meet you Becca." Riley seemed to be totally relaxed and completely believing the narrative they were spinning.

"So I hear that Victoria is after the same animal drinking vampires we are after?" Isabella ignored the looks of confusion she was getting from the others.

"You guys are after them too?" Riley asked.

"We want nothing more than those bastards dead!" Isabella said. "We were wondering if we could join up with you and Victoria?"

"That would be great. Right now we have about 35 newborns and 4 vampires that are over a year old like me. Well besides Victoria of course but we have been trying to find others to join our cause." Riley told them.

Isabella let out a whistle of appreciation. "35 newborns, that's lot to have to control."

"It's easy because we got a few of them with gifts. One can make it so you lose time." Riley said proudly.

"Really, what is it like?" Isabella asked.

"It's like you are hanging out with your friends and then all of a sudden you blink and it's been 5 hours." Riley explained.

Isabella tried to think about how that gift would actually work. "That's a useful gift. Do they have to be touching you for it to work?"

"No, it's all mental. The girl's eyes turn black and she just focuses on who she wants to black out. "Riley said.

"I think we want to join but we need to know what the plan is for how you are going to eliminate the animal drinkers." Isabella hoped that Riley knew enough to be useful so they could plan how to defeat Victoria's army.

Riley smiled brightly. "That's great. Victoria is going to be so happy."

"I'm glad but what is her plan so we know how to get ready." Isabella asked.

"Well I was sent here to find out what kind of numbers they have on their side and report back." Riley said.

"What did you report back?" Isabella needed to know what kind of information the others had.

"I told them about all the vampires I saw training with the wolves. "This peaked Isabella's interest.

"How were you able to stay hidden so that no one detected you there?" Isabella asked.

"I have a gift that let's me blend in to my surroundings." Riley told them.

"Where is she keeping all these newborns?" Isabella asked.

"I don't know. Victoria said it wasn't safe for me to know everything incase I was caught." Riley told them.

"I see so what else did you tell Victoria?" Isabella knew they wouldn't have to much time to deal with Riley so she needed to know what he could tell her.

"Just the number of vampires and about the wolves. She is waiting to do anything until some of the vampires leave to attack. "Riley said.

Isabella turned to Rosalie. "That is all he knows so now I need you to use your gift on him."

"What do you need me to make him do?" Rosalie was all to happy to be able to actually use her gift for something important.

"I need you to make him think that he saw everyone leave expect for the Cullen's, Tanya, Carmen and Eleazar. He already knows about the wolves so it's fine that he remembers them. Make him think he overheard the others talking about leaving to deal with a threat from the Volturi." Isabella figured Victoria would move up her time line if she thought most of their numbers left.

"Got it." Rosalie walked up to Riley and locked eyes with him waiting until his eyes glazed over to give the command. "You are going to tell anyone who asks you that the vampires you have been watching have been called away to deal with a threat from the Volturi. The only ones who stayed behind were the Cullen's, Tanya, Eleazar and Carmen. No matter whatever else you see you will not tell anyone anything other than what I just told you. You will also not tell anyone about talking to us in the woods. Do you understand?"

"I understand." Riley mumbled not taking his eyes off of Rosalie.

"Let him go." Isabella told Emmett and Kate. Once every one was near her she shielded them again. "Let's go back and tell the others what we found out."

Isabella was glad they finally had an enemy to focus on. She had been wanting to get home and the sitting and waiting was starting to make her annoyed. She wished that Riley had a location for where Victoria and her newborns were hiding but Victoria had been smart enough to not tell Riley. Even without a location having the number of vampires they were fighting would be helpful. Maybe if she was lucky Victoria would attack soon and Isabella could go home. She missed her mate and her Rosalie. It had been weeks in her dimension since she saw them and she missed them terribly. If she could she would just hunt down the newborn army herself and eliminate the threat but Isabella knew that she had to let the others get a chance to use their skills if they were ever going to be able to defend themselves when she wasn't around. Sighing she picked up her pace hoping that she would get home in no more than a couple days.

"We'll take one of everything on the menu." Kate laughed at the incredulous look the waitress gave Isabella after hearing her order. Isabella had been kind enough to offer traleif to the Denali sisters and their mates so they could go out to dinner to spend some time together. Rosalie and Emmett had decided to join them as well. Isabella had wanted to try seafood so Bella had found a restaurant that had decent reviews. Kate had been so excited to eat human food again she didn't really care where they ate.

"How about we start with appetizers first." Tanya could see the waitress wasn't sure what to make of their group. "Would you feel more comfortable if I give you my credit card so you know that you will be getting payment?"

"Uhm…I guess that would be alright." The waitress said.

"Good then why don't you give us one of everything and just bring the dishes out when they are done. It doesn't matter what order they come out in." Isabella didn't care if dessert came first. She just wanted to eat some food.

"Did you see her face? I bet that's the first time someone asked for everything on the menu." Emmett was happy that Isabella had included him and Rosalie on this adventure. Even though Isabella had given Rosalie some of the traleif Rosalie had yet to actually use any wanting to save it for something truly special. Emmett had understood her reasoning because Rosalie only had a few vials and they didn't have a way to get any more.

"That was epic." Kate said.

"What are you most excited to try?" Bella asked. She hadn't spent that much time around the Denali because the sisters had been traveling with their mates. That didn't mean that she felt she didn't know them. Both Irina and Kate called often and always took time to speak with Bella to get to know her better. Bella actually felt closer to the Denali than she ever did to the Cullen's.

"Chocolate brownie topped with ice cream and fudge sauce." Maggie told her. "When I was human only the wealthy had access to chocolate. It was something that I never even got the chance to see in person."

"I think I'm excited about lobster. In all the tv shows and movies we watch if someone wants to impress their date they give them lobster for dinner. I want to know what all the fuss is about." Irina said. She would have liked it if Siobhan and Liam came with them to the restaurant but understood that Isabella didn't have much of the liquid they needed to drink to eat human food. From what Tanya told them Isabella was using her personal supply to allow them to have this experience. Irina didn't know why Isabella would do that but figured it had to do with wanting to make Tanya happy.

"I want to see what a steak tastes like. It is made out to be the manly thing to eat so I want to know what makes a cow that important to base someone's toughness on it." Garrett said.

"Oh yeah we totally need to try some steaks." Emmett agreed.

"You know Tanya maybe you should order an extra serving of oysters." Kate told her.

Knowing she was walking into a trap Tanya asked anyway. "Why would I need to do that?"

"Because I heard that they make humans honeyed all know you need all the help you can get in that department." Kate teased.

"I don't need help getting my mate in the mood Kate." Tanya replied.

"Tanya!" Bella yelped.

Kate along with the others at the table laughed at the expression on Bella's face. "Oh man your face."

"Leave my mate alone Katerina or you won't like what I do to you." Tanya warned.

"So Isabella how are the wolves coming along with their training?" Rosalie asked trying to get the attention off of Bella. Since finding out about their familiar bond Rosalie had been feeling protective over the human. She didn't feel the full extent of the bond but she trusted Isabella. That meant Bella was Rosalie's sister and if that was what fate decided for them to be then Rosalie was going to treat Bella like a sister.

"It's going well." Isabella had been asked to train the wolves on their own. She hadn't minded because not only did it give her something fun to do but it was important for the wolves to learn to work together without the vampires around so they could completely focus on the training. Even though they were more relaxed around the vampires it was obvious they didn't trust them.

"I wish they would let us train with them." Emmett had wanted to see what the wolves could do. All they did during their training was watch.

"They needed some time to get into their rhythm before they can work well around others. I have them to the point that I think they will be able to get out of this fight without any casualties." Isabella told them.

"Truly?" Maggie asked.

Isabella nodded. "The main problem they had was they weren't working as a group. They were to focused on what was right in front of them. Sam also wasn't using the alpha command because he didn't want to take the wolves' free will away from them. Once I explained how it would actually help them in the battle he became more comfortable. I think if they continue to train they will be a formable foe to any that cross them."

"Have you trained a lot of different people?" Garrett was fascinated with Isabella. She did things and went places no-one else did and he envied that. The fact that she was willing to help their group out as much as she did was something he was thankful for. Within only of couple hours of Isabella helping him Garrett had been able to sneak up on most of the vampires staying at the Cullen's.

"I have trained more than you could imagine. I don't like seeing people vulnerable. It wouldn't be right to not help someone reach their full potential." Isabella told them.

"Well I'm happy for your help. I would never have believed it if someone told me I could do more than just electrocute one person with my gift. Now I can get it to cover my whole body and have made it spread about a foot in front of me." Kate had been skeptical when Isabella told her how her gift actually worked but as she had seen results almost as soon as she started training she had been practicing for at least an hour everyday. She couldn't wait for the fight with the newborns to see what kind of damage she could do when she was able to use it without worrying about if she hurt someone.

"I didn't even know I had a gift." Rosalie said.

"Learning that I could do more with my gift than just being a lie detector has been nice. I didn't really realize how much of an impact it could have making someone believe whatever you wanted them to." When Maggie had explained to Siobhan and Liam how she was able to get Riley to tell them what they wanted to know they had been stunned. None of them had realized that Maggie's gift could be used like that. Both of them had been happy that Isabella had shown them as it was not only helpful to know but it made their coven that much more powerful. She had also told them about how Isabella had tracked the vampire right to where he was and both of them wanted to ask Isabella to teach them how to do it. It had been discussed many times but with each new thing Isabella taught them the Irish coven knew that they were becoming one of the most powerful covens in the world. The fact that they were also aligned with the Denali by a mate bond just added to that power. It was beginning to make them nervous because none of them wanted the attention of the Volturi. Even if they would have a good chance of defending themselves against the vampire rulers and their guard.

"What was the coolest dimension you ever visited?" Emmett asked.

"If you asked my Kate she would say the one with the killer robots. I however liked the one with the aquatic world with the empeople." Isabella said.

"Empeople. You're talking about mermaids." Isabella nodded leaving Kate even more flabbergasted. "Like people with tails that live underwater?"

"Yes. They have a very interesting culture. To even earn the right to speak to one you have to offer them a gift. I gave them a flower from a different dimension that I had initially intended to bring home to my beloved. I had been pulled to that dimension before I got a chance to do so however." Tanya hadn't minded when Isabella had told her about it though. The gifts the empeople had given Isabella to take home more than made up for the flower.

"What was wrong in that dimension?" Irina asked.

"Their Tanya had been kidnapped by a rival coven. They had already sent Tanya's coven her hand as proof they would hurt her if they didn't get what they wanted." Isabella told them.

"What did they want?" Rosalie asked.

Isabella sighed. "It was all very silly. They simply wanted a relic that was rumored to grant those who owned it with invincibility."

"Did it actually work?" Emmett wondered what he would do with such a thing. He would be unstoppable.

"Obviously not as Tanya was the owner and she was being torn apart." Isabella still didn't understand what the kidnappers had been thinking.

"Why didn't they just give the coven the relic to get Tanya back?" If it didn't work Kate didn't understand why they just didn't hand it over.

"Because it actually belonged to Tanya's human mother. The whole thing was their Kate's fault. She thought it would be funny to make people believe that an antique held some magical power. She had told a bunch of vampires about it and the rumor had spread to many. The coven who took Tanya wasn't the first to come after them over the thing." Isabella explained.

Irina laughed. "Are you saying Kate is as destructive in other dimensions as she is here?"

"My Kate is actually the reason I don't ride in man made vehicles." Isabella told them.

"What did your Kate do?" Rosalie had been curious why Isabella refused to ride in or on any type of vehicle.

"Myself, Tanya and the rest of our coven to include my Rosalie and Emmett where flying home from vacation and Kate thought it would be fun to mess with an annoying man who kept ogling Rosalie and shock him. When she got up to fake going to the bathroom so she could get close to the guy she tripped on a seatbelt that had fallen on the floor. She was so focused on shocking him that when she tripped she sent a jolt of electricity through the floor of the plane. That of course fried the electronics on the plane and started a fire in one of the engines." Isabella told them.

"Jesus Christ, how the hell did you make it out alive?" Tanya asked.

"As the plane was going down I was able to use my shield to smother the fire and guide the plane into the ocean we were flying over." Isabella said. "It took over twelve hours for them to rescue us because with the electronics out they couldn't contact anyone. We had to wait for them to find us."

"So even though Kate was the one to do the damage you still won't ride in a vehicle?" Rosalie didn't understand why that one incident caused Isabella's fear.

Isabella shook her head. "It happened once. I'm not going to chance it happening again."

"Now we know not to ride on a plane with Kate." Irina wasn't going to chance Kate doing something so stupid. If Isabella didn't smother the fire the vampires probably would have died as well as the humans.

"I wouldn't do that." Kate was highly offended that Irina would think she would be stupid enough to short circuit a plane.

"Sure you wouldn't." Rosalie didn't believe for a second that Kate wasn't even considering what it would be like to do that on a plane. The maniac would probably do it just to see what it was like.

"Regardless at least we know what would happen if Kate did and we can prevent it." Tanya was definitely going to be more observant of Kate while they were traveling. Especially with Bella still being human. This just reinforced the need Tanya had for Isabella to train Bella when she was turned. If it was them on the plane and not Isabella and her coven then the whole situation would have turned out very differently. If she could get her mate to the point where she could guide a plane with her shield then Tanya wouldn't have to worry about her. Well worry so much about her. She would always worry about her mate but it would be nice if her mate could protect herself better. As the waitress came and set the food on the table Tanya took a moment just to enjoy her family. They hadn't had a chance to be together like this yet and it was nice to get a moment to experience something special together. She made a note to thank Isabella for sharing her traleif with her coven mates because she knew that Isabella didn't have that many vials with her. Tanya realized that she would also have to ask if Isabella could make a trip back after she went home to bring them some more vials. She knew the vampire didn't like to travel much but hoped maybe she wouldn't mind just dropping off some supplies. That didn't matter right now though. What mattered was the fork Bella was holding to her lips for her to try the food she was eating. Thoughts of the future could wait until later. Now she wanted to eat some food and enjoy the company of her family.

We have two days." Alice said as she walked up to the group of vampires all standing around watching as Isabella was training Rosalie. Isabella had wanted them to train in private but as soon as the others found out that Isabella was doing one on one training they all had gathered to watch. Isabella knew they were interested in her fighting style but would have liked some quiet time with just Rosalie. She couldn't begrudge the other's interest though and knew it was her irritability of not being able to go home yet that had put her in this mood.

"What did you see Alice?" Tanya asked. She was happy Isabella had let them watch her train Rosalie. Even though Isabella was focusing on Rosalie's fighting style it gave Tanya an idea of how skilled Isabella was. From what they had witnessed so far Tanya realized that Isabella had been holding back with them. She was hoping she could convince Isabella to do some specialized training with her as well because if the progress Rosalie had already made meant anything then they all could benefit from personal training. Tanya still hadn't gotten the chance to talk to Isabella about her tracking skills. She knew she wasn't the only one who was interested and Tanya hoped Isabella would be willing to teach the group even if she wouldn't do individual training.

"I saw a group of about 30 newborns and Victoria marching across the clearing we were training in." Alice told them.

"Finally we are going to get to do something." Emmett had liked learning all the new moves and skills from Isabella but he wanted to be able to finally use them on something. He hadn't even gotten to use his gloves on more than just trees and some boulders.

"Do you think we are ready?" Irina asked Isabella.

"I think we have very good odds of coming out of this without casualties. It is not a guarantee though so we need to not get cocky. If we do then we all will fail." Isabella warned.

"I think I should call the wolves." Carlisle said.

"When you do could you pass along a message that I will come by later?" Isabella wanted to visit the wolves to get in one more day of training before the army came. They would need to take the day before off to rest so it was important for them to get in as much practice as they could.

"Of course." Carlisle would have loved to go with Isabella to the reservation but the wolves only made an exception for Isabella, Tanya and Rosalie. He was still surprised his daughter got the pass but after sharing the hover bike with them they had allowed Rosalie to visit as long as she was accompanied by either Isabella or Bella.

"Do you have to leave now or can we keep going?" Rosalie asked. She had made a lot of progress so far with Isabella but didn't want to stop. She knew that they had only scratched the surface on what Rosalie could do so she wanted as much time as she could get with Isabella before the army came.

"We can keep going for a bit." Isabella said.

"When you are done with the wolves would you be willing to work with some of us one on one as well?" Liam asked. He along with everyone else could see how much Rosalie had improved and hoped that Isabella would spend some time with at least him or one of his coven mates. The Irish coven had benefited more than he could have ever imagined and he was thankful that they had went against their instincts and traveled to Forks when Carlisle had asked them to all those months ago.

Isabella held back a sigh, she knew this was going to happen if she let the others watch her train Rosalie. It wasn't that she didn't want to help the others it was just she had wanted some down time before the fighting happened. Looking at the hopeful faces of the group she made her decision. "I can train those who wish but you guys have to work out who I train and for how long. I plan on spending most of the day with the wolves and then I can help whoever wants help."

"Yes!" Emmett cheered. When he had asked Rosalie to ask Isabella about doing individual training with him she had been reluctant to ask. Rosalie had said that Isabella hadn't actually wanted to train her and she didn't want to force Isabella to do more than she already had.

"I go first." Kate called out. There was no way she was going to go last like she did for her turn on the hover bike.

Tanya knew that it was going to once again be up to her to set the guidelines on how the training was going to happen. She was happy that Isabella had agreed to train each of them but was irritated because now she wouldn't get as much personal time with the vampire as she had hoped she would. "How about we set it up by covens with one from each taking a turn and rotating based on that."

"That would be fine with us." Siobhan would have liked all of her coven going first but knew that it was only fair to have them rotate. With Tanya's proposal members of each coven would get a chance and not be forced to go last if they based it on random picking.

"We agree as well." Carlisle hoped that Rosalie didn't take their turn though. He selfishly wanted to go first. Even though they all had improved with the group training they had been doing he knew that he was nowhere near being considered a good fighter. Jasper could hold his own and Emmett had been doing enough training with Isabella's group that he didn't need the one on one time as much.

"Great then we will work it out amongst ourselves. I would like to go first as my mate is human and I will need all the help I can get to keep her safe." Tanya felt it was fair as all the other mated pairs were all vampires and had enough skill to take care of themselves at least until help arrived.

"I think that is actually a good idea." Carlisle knew he would want to go first if Esme was still human.

"We will not stand in your way of going first." Siobhan thought it not only fair because Bella was human but because Isabella was only in their dimension to save Tanya and Bella.

"Thank you." Tanya was happy they didn't object to her training first. She needed all the help she could get to keep her mate safe as they still hadn't figured out how to keep Bella close to Isabella in the fight so that she could be shielded.

"Wait that means the rest of us have to go after all of you?" Kate asked.

"It means that after myself someone from the Cullen's and the Irish coven will go then another one of our coven and so on. I want Carmen to go second out of our coven." Carmen was going to be needed to protect Eleazar and with only Carlisle and Esme to help them Tanya wanted them to be able to succeed.

"Oh come on!"Kate knew it. She wouldn't get to go until last. "When do I get to go?"

"Well I want Irina to go after Carmen and Eleazar to go after her, so you will go last." Tanya expected Kate to be mad but Kate could more than handle herself and with the way she had progressed with her gift wouldn't even need the extra training.

"Actually" Isabella interjected. "I would like to train Maggie and Irina together."

"Why do you want us together?" Irina was happy to stay with her mate but didn't understand why pairing up instead of doing individual training was the best idea.

"The two of your fighting styles will always be more effective if you continue to do as I have already taught you. Maggie using her gift and Irina protecting her. While we can train you individually it is silly not to have you learn together so you can know how to adapt to different situations. If you want to do individual training I won't stop you but I think one on one training with both of you is a waist of time." Isabella explained.

Maggie thought about what Isabella said. While they had been doing group training her and Irina had been learning to work with the team and move to different areas they were needed but they hadn't really learned more than basic defense. It would make sense for her and Irina to learn how to fight together if they were always going to stay together. "I think us training together is a good idea."

"I agree." Irina liked the idea of being paired up with her mate. They hadn't really practiced on their own and she now realized they should have been this whole time. She was just thankful Isabella was nice enough to offer her and her mate the opportunity to protect each other.

"I think that Maggie and Irina should take our first turn then." Siobhan said. She knew her mate would be sad to not go first but it was important for the two least experienced members of their coven who didn't have that much fighting ability to get the training.

"Great so that still means I have to go last." Kate grumbled. "Can we at least do some training with your sword?"

"Kate you don't need to be touching Isabella's sword." Tanya knew Kate had her heart set on asking Isabella to make her one but Tanya didn't think that was a good idea. She made a mental note to talk to Isabella before Kate got the chance incase Isabella agreed to make one for her.

"Come on it's not like I'm going to hurt anyone with it." Kate had hoped that Isabella would let her use it during the fight.

"I can do some sword training with you Kate. Fighting a vampire with a sword is a lot different than fighting a human. "Isabella liked the idea of doing some sword training. It would break up the monotony of teaching people to fight with just their bodies as weapons.

"This is going to be so great!" Kate cheered.

"Does that mean we can do some more training with my gloves?" Emmett asked. Isabella had given him basic training with how to use them but he felt like he could do a lot better.

Isabella nodded. "I can train you how to rely on your hands more than just your strength like you usually do."

"Sweet." Emmett was beyond excited now. He knew that when Isabella was done with him he would be as good as a fighter as Jasper.

"Great now that we have that worked out can we get back to our training?" Rosalie was happy for the others but didn't want to waste her personal time with Isabella while they still had a chance.

"Of course. Now come at me again." Isabella said as she planted her feet.

Tanya watched in awe as Rosalie who couldn't even hold the daggers she was given properly when they first began, twirl them around in her hands and move towards Isabella. Initially Rosalie had been more cautious with her movements and could barely move fast enough to block Isabella's strikes. Now though she easily deflected a punch to the head that would have easily cracked her face with her arm and followed the block by swinging her dagger towards Isabella's other arm where she swiped down. Tanya flinched as she watched the dagger make contact with Isabella's arm thankful that Isabella's shield protected her so easily. If it hadn't Isabella would have lost an arm.

"Good." Isabella said as she caught Rosalie in a head lock. "The only problem you have is that once you made contact you stopped. If we were fighting for real I would have been distracted by losing my arm which would have left an opening for you to take off my head with the cross cut I showed you."

Rosalie was frustrated that Isabella got the jump on her but knew Isabella was right. She needed to act without thinking and that meant she would have to practice to get herself to the point that the moves and responses to what was happening would be instinctual. "If I can't get to the neck to make the cut what should I do?"

"If you can't remove their head stab them instead." Isabella told her. "Your daggers are strong enough that they could easily go through the skull bone. If you can't remove the head then stab them and make sure you move your daggers around a little bit once you get it in there. Vampires may not be living but they still need their brains. So if you use your dagger to cut it up they aren't going to recover from that."

"Wicked." Emmet hoped that he would get a chance to see his wife do that to a vampire. "Does it kill them?"

Isabella turned her attention back to the crowd watching them. "It may but not always. Just like a human a vampire's brain sends signals to the rest of their bodies to allow them to be able to do everything and just like a human's brain when it's messed with it causes a reaction. So even if Rosalie doesn't kill the vampire, by stabbing their brain she messes up what the vampire can do. I personally have seen my Rosalie make a vampire catatonic after stabbing them in the brain."

"Amazing." Carlisle knew that vampire brains worked just like human brains but because a vampire's skull was almost unbreakable he never thought about how it would react if operated on.

"What happened to the vampire?" Kate asked. She was now conflicted on what she wanted to ask Isabella to make her. The sword would be cool but being able to mess with a vampire's brain was kind of awesome.

"He never recovered. After the conflict was over we brought him and a few others to the castle to be tried for their crimes. Everyone thought he would heal and be fine but even after giving him not only human blood but the healing serum that I used to fix my shoulder he never recovered." That incident had disturbed most of the vampires that knew what happened. Before that they didn't think there was anything a vampire couldn't heal from.

"Jesus." Tanya didn't know what to think of all this. She was however wondering if it might be a good idea to ask Isabella to make her some weapons. She had known the ones Isabella had made were effective but to know what they actually could do made her think it would be a good idea to be armed herself.

"Anyway." Rosalie said getting Isabella back on track. "Where are the best places to stab a vampire in the head."

"The best places are the soft spots. "Isabella addressed the group. "This is something you should all know. It a vampire gets their arms around you and you can't get yourself free attack their eyes. It would be great if you could free your hand to just rip them out but if you can't, spit in their eyes instead. Vampire venom will burn the eye ball and take away their sight. The venom will create scar tissue on the eye ball itself so even if it does heal they will still not be able to see properly."

"So if we are being crushed the best way to get out of the hold is to spit in their eyes?" Alice wanted to make sure she understood what Isabella was saying. Due to her size it would be almost impossible for her to get away from a vampire who had a hold on her. If Isabella had a way to give her an advantage in that situation then she was going to pay attention.

"Yes. That's why it is one of the best spots to stab. "Isabella told Rosalie. "Not only is it easy access to the brain but if they move and you can't get your dagger in all the way then you at least have injured them enough you don't have to worry about them if you are being overwhelmed. The next spot would be under the chin. It is a direct line into the brain without being blocked by to many bones. Thrusting your dagger straight up is an easy way to incapacitate your enemy and move on to the next."

"That would also work well with the spin move you taught me right?" Rosalie asked.

"Yes, if you are surrounded the best thing you can do is stab and move on. That way once you inflict the damage to the group you can go back to the ones that are the most dangerous and kill them while the others are distracted with their injuries." Isabella said.

"That makes sense." Isabella had already taught Rosalie how to get away if she was being surrounded but it was nice to know she could fight her way out if she didn't have the opportunity to flee the situation.

"Another good place to stab are the ears. Siobhan, Emmett pay attention." Both Emmett and Siobhan perked up at being called out. "Whereas Rosalie will be using her daggers to stab the enemy in the brain the two of you are strong enough to box their ears to disorient them. Emmett with your gloves I believe you will be able to actually crush a vampire's skull in if you use enough strength."

"Holy shit are you serious?" Emmett asked.

Isabella nodded. "You are the first person to use the gloves so it hasn't been tested but based on how easily my Emmett put his fist through my shoulder you should be able to. He barely used any force at all and his fist went right through. I believe that if you used even half the strength you have then you could easily crush a vampire's skull."

"That's so badass." Kate was now adding Emmett's gloves to the list of weapons she wanted Isabella to make for her. Instead of just one she figured it would be no big deal if Isabella just made all three for her. She was already fantasizing about all the damage she could do if she had Emmett's gloves and Rosalie's daggers when fighting the newborns. Adding Isabella's sword to the mix would make Kate almost invincible.

Isabella checked the watch she had set to this dimension's time. "I need to go to the wolves now but I should be back in a few hours. It wouldn't do good for them to do a very intense training session before the fight."

"Can I come with you?" Rosalie asked. She was sad her time with Isabella was done but didn't want to be away from the vampire. She knew that her time with her friend was running out as the newborn army was coming soon and wanted to spend as much time with Isabella as she could. Rosalie wondered if she and Isabella had some type of bond. Maybe not one as strong as Isabella's bond with her Rosalie but Rosalie felt like she was connected to Isabella. It wasn't like a mate bond but she did have great affection for the vampire. She felt closer to Isabella than she did her own coven and had missed Isabella when she was gone. Seeing her again made Rosalie feel like she could finally breath after being underwater. She would have to ask Isabella later about it.

"If it's just you and not everyone else I don't see why not. They said you could come anytime as long as me or Bella were with you." Isabella said.

"While you guys are gone we will work out a schedule for training. Is there anything you can recommend for us to do while you are away?" Tanya asked.

"Emmett can watch some boxing matches to see different kinds of techniques. Garrett and Kate should continue practicing with their gifts. It would be a good idea to thoroughly scout the area Alice said the army is attacking us at. Liam you should be one of the ones to do that as you are the best to figure out where to place traps. Jasper should run through drills with Alice to build more on their techniques. The rest of you can continue to train with your groups as we have been. "Isabella told them.

"We can do that." Tanya said. As she watched Rosalie and Isabella take off through the woods she wondered if she should have went with them. No one had seen what the wolves could do and it would probably be a good idea to train with them all together at least once. Isabella hadn't brought it up though so Tanya didn't think it was that big of a deal. She knew Isabella would do everything she could to make sure everyone made it out of this fight alive and uninjured so if she didn't think the wolves needed to train with them then they most likely didn't.

Tanya still hadn't talked to Isabella about what to do about where Bella was going to be during the fight. She would have to bring it up to her while they were doing individual training. She actually felt herself getting kind of excited at the idea that she would be getting a personal lesson from Isabella. Tanya may know how to fight but from the little she had seen of Isabella's skill she knew that she was going to be making great strides. When she had spoken to Siobhan recently the vampire had brought up a good point. With all the things Isabella had helped them with it had made each of their covens incredible powerful. The fact that they were all linked to each other, the Denali and the Irish coven by a mate bond and the Denali and the Cullen coven by a familiar bond made the group with no other equal. Eventually word would get out about them. Then the Volturi would take notice. Luckily with the things that Isabella not only taught them but the few vials she had given her and Rosalie Tanya felt they had more than a good chance at defeating the royals. The mind blocks alone rendered their most powerful guard members useless and if they used the liquid to make them stronger for a half an hour they could easily eliminate the guard's strongest members.

Tanya would also need to get Isabella alone to talk to her about returning with supplies. Isabella had told them of other stuff she had that was beneficial to vampires and Tanya wanted to see if Isabella would not only bring back extra vials of the stuff they already knew about but if she would bring back other substances that could help them. Rosalie had mentioned that Isabella had given her a plant leaf that stopped her bloodlust when she was in the presence of a bleeding human and Tanya was hoping that Isabella would be able to give them some seeds to maybe grow the plant themselves. Even though she didn't like the idea of her mate going into the unknown Tanya was a little sad Bella didn't have the gift to travel. It would have been nice to have direct access to all the stuff Isabella did. They were just lucky Isabella was so willing to share with them. Now Tanya just had to figure out a way to convince Isabella to leave her mate to come back and bring them stuff. That would probably be harder than fighting the newborn army because they all knew that Isabella didn't like to leave her mate or her Rosalie. Not that Tanya could blame her as she didn't want to be away from Bella it would just be nice if she would.

"Thank you for your help Isabella." Sam said as Isabella had finished training with the wolves. The vampire had been an immense help and Sam now felt less fearful for his pack going into the fight. "You have helped us more than we could have ever imagined."

"It's no problem." Isabella waved away his thanks. "It was only right to help you."

"Still we are beyond grateful." Sam told her.

"It was an honor to help such a group of hardworking shifters. You wouldn't believe how many are dismissive of me because I am a vampire." Isabella said.

"I can imagine." Sam thought back to their first meeting with Isabella. He and the others had been insulted by the way she acted towards them but now that he knew her better he understood that was just how Isabella was. She got overexcited by new things. "We know you wish to leave after the fight so the elders were wondering if you wouldn't mind speaking to them before you leave today."

"That wouldn't be a problem with me. How about you Rosalie?" Isabella asked Rosalie.

"I don't mind. "Rosalie would rather not have to hang out with the wolves but knew it was only fair that they got their turn with Isabella.

"They originally were planning on having a bond fire and throwing a feast in your honor but as you told us you couldn't eat for a couple days they canceled." Sam still found it amazing that Isabella had a way for vampires to eat human food.

"Yes we sampled seafood this time." Isabella had enjoyed the food and knew her coven and the queens would as well. Alice had been nice enough to go to the store and buy some for them to freeze so she could take it home.

"I myself am partial to red meat." Sam said as he led Isabella and Rosalie into Billy's home where the three elders and Jacob Black were hanging out in the living room.

"Isabella thank you for coming to see us. We know you probably have a lot of things to do before the battle but are grateful you took some time to meet with us." Billy motioned to the couch. "Take a seat."

"Thank you." Isabella sat in the middle of the couch next to Sue with Rosalie on the other side of her. She knew Rosalie wasn't that comfortable with the wolves so she figured she would be happier the further away from them she was.

"No it should be us who is thanking you." Quill said. "We had always thought we were strong enough to take on any threat and didn't believe that anyone could teach the pack to be better wolves but you have not only helped us with that but you have given us a chance to heal any wounds they may sustain during the fight easily with the two vials you gave us. We are forever in your debt."

Isabella waved away their thanks. "I've told you before helping you was the right thing to do. As for the serums, giving them to you was no great loss. I carry a few extra and after the fight is over I will gladly give you any unused ones I have left before I leave."

"That would be wonderful." Sue was happy that Isabella was offering the vials to them and not the vampires. They all knew Carlisle was a doctor so there was no doubt that he would probably want them. She was happy that Isabella seemed to understand the wolves needed them more.

"I have more at home and if I run low I can always make more." Isabella told them.

"Do you know how to make all the serums you carry?" Sam asked.

Isabella nodded. "Luckily I have a vampire's memory so when I learn of something that would be beneficial I try to find out how it's made. If I'm able I bring the ingredients home so we can reproduce it ourselves but that isn't always possible because the only living things I can bring home are plants."

"Well we have a couple things we would like to gift you as a token of appreciation and friendship." Billy stood up and made his way to the kitchen where they left the items for Isabella. He was still trying to wrap his mind around the fact that he could walk and move around freely. Since regaining the ability he had taken to walking and running everywhere he had to go.

"You don't have to give me anything." Isabella hoped it wasn't extravagant because it seemed like the wolves weren't doing that well for themselves if the beat up furniture and house desperately in need of repair meant anything.

"We know but we wanted to do something for you anyway." Sue said as Billy came back in the living room.

Billy held out a journal to Bella. "We had some of our legends transcribed into a book for you. We thought they might be of help if you encountered other versions of us in different dimensions."

"That is truly thoughtful thank you." Isabella said.

"Not only do we have the book for you but we have this as well." Billy handed Bella a leather pouch that was decorated with different colored beads.

Bella took the pouch and opened it pulling out a necklace with a silver crest of a howling wolf adorned with different gems as decoration. "This is gorgeous but way to much. I can't accept this."

"No we want you to have this. It's our tribal crest and once the wolves shift each get it tattooed on their arms to prove they are a part of this pack. We now consider you an honorary member so it's only right that you have a way to display your place amongst us." Billy told her.

"I will cherish this always." Isabella handed the necklace to Rosalie. "Would you please put this on."

"No problem." Rosalie took the necklace and secured it around Isabella's neck. She was surprised that the wolves had given such a symbolic gift to Isabella and wondered what other kind of things people she encountered gave to her.

Once it was secured around her neck Isabella stood and gave Billy a hug. Sue stood and hugged her as well followed by Quill. "Thank you for this gift. I promise if I return I will bring more items for you that I think will be helpful. I have some other serums that are beneficial to shifters that I think would be useful for your tribe."

"We don't expect you to bring us anything but we will welcome whatever you do." Billy knew that he couldn't decline any gift that Isabella offered them because they would be just to valuable for them to pass up. The fact she was willing to give them more of the healing serum was going to be a great help and he couldn't imagine what else she had to offer them.

"It's really no problem. I just don't know when I will get the chance to come back. I'm hoping next time I will get to choose and not be pulled here unexpectedly." Isabella said.

"I hope you get to choose as well." Sue would really like the chance to see Isabella again. Since being told by her that female shifters were considered gifts from the gods Sue had already noticed the change in the way her daughter had been treated. It was because of that Leah had been more happy and relaxed. Sue had started to see glimpses of the old Leah and she would be forever grateful to Isabella for making that possible.

"Well I would like to stay longer but I promised the vampires that I would do some training with them." Isabella wanted to get to that soon so she would have some down time before the fight.

"We won't keep you then." Billy held out his hand for Isabella to shake. "If and when you do come back know that you have an open invitation to visit anytime."

"Yeah and maybe you could bring the hover bike back to." Jacob wanted another chance to use it. He hoped that Isabella would be able to bring them one as well but Isabella had mentioned that she hadn't gotten it from her home dimension so Sam had told them not to ask.

"I'll see what I can do." Isabella wasn't going to promise anything because the ownership of the hover bike was still up in the air.

"Let me walk you out." Sam offered. When they reached the porch he gave Isabella a hug. "I know this isn't goodbye yet but if I don't get the chance to say it before you leave it has been good knowing you and an honor to fight by your side."

"Thank you Sam. I'll see you on the battlefield." Isabella waved her goodbye and walked next to Rosalie towards the woods.

Once they got clear of others hearing Rosalie spoke. "Do you think they will all make it out of this alive?"

"I do and not only because I'm going to make sure of it. The wolves are ready. You saw them today and they were just doing a couple run throughs not even trying that hard." Isabella was more than confident that the wolves would be standing tall when all of this was over.

Rosalie had been impressed with the drills the wolves ran through with Isabella. They seemed a lot more coordinated and moved more fluidly and less like stumbling dogs like Rosalie had been used to seeing them. It was obvious that the training Isabella had been doing with them had paid off. "They do seem to be working well together. How are they going to be used in the fight?"

"I plan on using them to flank both sides of the field. Our main army will be at the front facing the newborns head on while our group will come in from behind and trap them from all sides. That way no one will be able to leave. Liam of course will probably work out the specifics but that's what I would do." Isabella wasn't going to be the main voice in planning but was more than willing to offer suggestions to help make sure everyone was in the perfect spot.

"I think you should be the one to plan all of it not Liam. He doesn't have the experience with fighting with all of us like you do." Rosalie would rather follow Isabella than Liam. Not only did she trust her friend's opinion more but Isabella had experience with all of the vampires on their side in many different situations. It would make sense for her to put everyone where she thought they would be most effective.

"You aren't my people so it isn't proper for me to have a place of power amongst you." Isabella said.

"You have said that before but what do you mean?" Rosalie asked.

"It means that I know the repercussions of taking control of certain situations. If I just came in and told all of you what to do and how to train then none of you would be able to fall into your natural roles once I've left. "Isabella explained. "That's why I didn't want to be in charge of training. There have been times where I have had to and most of those end with the warriors I train losing not only the respect from their people but the leaders losing self esteem when someone comes in and takes all their control away."

"That makes sense but it hasn't been happening with any of us. Everyone is more than happy with you teaching each of us what to do. The two people who were supposed to be in charge of the training both asked you to take their places so I don't see anyone having hurt feelings." Rosalie had witnessed the exact opposite happen. It seemed everyone was more than happy that Isabella was teaching them. The fact that they had all made great progress and were completely different fighters than when they started was more than enough proof of Isabella's worth. That wasn't even mentioning all the things she had taught them about themselves.

"That I assure you doesn't happen often. It also matters who is around when I train others. Like if Edward were here he would be totally against me teaching him anything. Which is too bad because I know a lot about what he could actually do with his gift if he put the effort into it." Isabella said.

"Does he have the same personality in each dimension?" Rosalie wondered what each of the others were like when Isabella met them.

Isabella shook her head. "No in some he is actually an outstanding individual. I find it corresponds with whether he meets my other self when she is human. For some reason he has a very bad reaction to meeting his singer and it seems like it fractures his mind. I have had many discussions with others on why that is but all that we could come up with without further study is that somehow the smell of my blood seems to change him."

"How are the ones that you have met that haven't been exposed to a human you?" Rosalie didn't think that was the only thing wrong with Edward but she could see that since meeting Bella he had become almost a completely different person. Less trusting, paranoid, short tempered. It would make sense if he was fighting to not kill his singer.

"The ones I meet that are connected to Carlisle are arrogant and full of themselves. Those are the majority of what I have found. I met one that was humble and lived with a nice coven who were human drinkers. When they inquired about my eyes I taught them all about feeding from animals and they taught me all about Edward's gift. He doesn't really have any control of it at all if what he thinks is he can only read the current surface thoughts of those he is around." Isabella said.

"You mean Edward could be more powerful?" Rosalie asked.

"He has the ability to do as Aru does and know every thought a person has without even touching them. The Edward's I meet can usually be tricked by thinking of something benign and hiding your actual thoughts. I don't personally think that most of them should know this so I never go out of my way to teach them." Isabella knew that making Edward more powerful was just creating trouble when they didn't need it.

Rosalie tried to wrap her mind around Edward being able to do that to the family. It made her even more grateful that Isabella gave them their blocks. "You once said you could contain his gift. Have you had to do that before?"

"Yes a few times. Not to the one in my dimension but in others I have been asked to do so by his own coven and some of his enemies. You and Tanya are the two who usually request it though." Isabella told her.

"Why haven't you done it to your Edward?" Rosalie would have thought he would have been the first one they did it to.

Isabella sighed. "The queens have very strict laws about punishment. They would never allow me to take Edward's gift without him having broken a law."

"It sounds like they are fair rulers." If it had been the kings they would have demanded Isabella take away the gift of anyone that wasn't allied to them. Rosalie wasn't sure if Isabella could though. "Can you take the gift away from anyone other than Edward?"

"I can take away most gifts if I put my mind to it. Kate wants me to work on trying to learn how to activate gifts in others but I'm not sure that is possible." Isabella didn't want to get into that kind of research as it was to much like playing god.

"Do you think it is something that you could eventually learn how to do?" Rosalie couldn't imagine all the possibilities of what could happen if Isabella was able.

"I don't know. When I first started learning how to do the blocks I would say no. However after having traveled so much I think if I combined my knowledge of how gifts actually work and the different substances I have come across I think I actually could." Isabella said.

"That's incredible." Rosalie said.

"But not something I'm interested in. I've met some so called scientist along the way and most start off with good intentions but almost always cross many lines in pursuit of achieving success." Isabella never wanted to become corrupted like that. "Let's get moving. I want to deal with the training so I can have some down time before the fight.

"Do you think you could teach me some more of the tracking skills you showed us when we went after Riley?" Rosalie asked.

"Yeah I'll just use the trail we left coming here." Isabella wouldn't mind doing something that wasn't fight based. "I can even show you how to travel without leaving obvious tracks so it would make it harder for someone to track you."

"That would be great thank you." Rosalie was now happy she asked to come with Isabella to visit the wolves. If she could even learn a tenth of Isabella's tracking skills she would be able to help out when there was a need to find someone. She had known that the others had been planning to ask Isabella for a lesson as well so Rosalie was happy she got the chance to ask first and would get a personal lesson. She understood everyone's want to learn from Isabella but Rosalie was feeling selfish. She wanted her friend all to herself. Time was running out and Isabella would be going home soon so Rosalie wanted to get as much time together as she could. Pushing her annoyance at the others out of her mind Rosalie focused on what Isabella was telling her. She would have to find an excuse to have some alone time with Isabella later. She mentioned she wanted some down time before the fight and Rosalie hopped that meant that Rosalie could spend it with her.

"Prepare to meet your doom." Kate taunted Isabella as she stood across from Isabella with Isabella's sword held in her hand. Isabella had spent an hour with each member of the group expect for Tanya and Bella who both got two hours. Isabella had worked with both alone and then together to work out techniques to keep Bella safe during the fight. Kate thought that was unfair but didn't complain because she didn't want her turn taken away. Now that she got her chance she was hoping that Isabella wouldn't keep to a time limit because no one came after Kate.

"I'm prepared to get my ass kick don't worry Kate." Isabella promised.

"Good. Then someone call it." Kate said.

"Begin." Alice called out excitedly. The whole group had been waiting to see how Isabella would be able to defend herself against Kate while not having any weapons.

"Be careful Kate." Tanya wasn't happy that Kate was using the sword even if it was against Isabella who could easily protect herself. Tanya just knew something bad was going to happen like Kate accidentally stabbing herself or stabbing someone else and a limb being lost.

"It's Isabella who should be careful. "Kate shouted as she ran towards Isabella who easily sidestep Kate's swing. Kate was undeterred and came at her again. After the fourth time of Isabella not even making a move on Kate, Kate threw her hands up in frustration. "Why aren't you fighting?"

Isabella smiled at Kate. "I'm simply showing you that how you fought against humans doesn't work when you are fighting a vampire."

"Ok then can you show me what I'm doing wrong?" Kate asked.

"Let's set up some of the body targets and I can show you. We won't need them anymore so it won't matter if we destroy them." Isabella figured that it wouldn't be a big deal if they damaged the targets because after she was done with Kate she wasn't going to be training anyone else.

"So how should we do this?" Kate was trying to hold back from just going at the targets but it was hard. The promise of learning more from Isabella was the only thing that stopped her.

"Hand me my sword and I will slowly go through some moves to show you the best ways to heavily damage a vampire." Isabella accepted the sword from Kate and moved up to the target. "You will notice as I move that it is a lot different from how you learned when you were human.

Kate took a step back and watched as Isabella easily sliced though the body target. She could see how Isabella's technique differed from her own. "I think I get it. I was more focused on stabbing whereas you were more focused on slicing."

"Exactly." Isabella was happy that Kate could easily see what was different. "When you were human you could rely on the target bleeding out but with vampires even though the sword will go through their body they can shake off wounds that humans can't. That's why the best way to defeat a vampire with a sword is to basically dismantle them until you get a chance to take off their head."

"I think I got it. Let me try." Kate took the sword back and tried to use what Isabella had said as she sliced through the body target. It was a lot different than what she was taught before and it felt like relearning all over again.

"Good job. Do you want to fight me again." Isabella asked.

Kate nodded. "Yeah this time I will definitely be able to strike you."

"Someone call it." Isabella said as she and Kate stood apart from each other.

"Begin." Alice called out again.

"I really wish they wouldn't do this." Tanya mumbled. As she watched Kate rush Isabella again she had to admit that there was an advantage to using a sword. Although Kate wasn't that coordinated with it now that she was trying to remove parts of Isabella's body Tanya could tell that if she was fighting a real enemy she would probably have done a lot of damage. It reinforced Tanya's belief that she should ask Isabella to make her a weapon of her own. After watching how much Rosalie, Emmett and now Kate could do it made sense why Isabella didn't want their group to train with the others. Even with the limited fight training they all had gotten they could have decimated everyone else if they had went against them. It also made Tanya feel more confident that they would actually be able to defeat Victoria and her army without causalities. She was positive that with the wolves they would be able to wipe the army out quickly.

"She's having fun and it isn't like anyone will get hurt." Irina understood her sister's worry but Irina trusted Isabella. She would never allow Kate to get hurt and even if by some fluke she did then Isabella had the healing serum that fixed her own shoulder that would likely be able to fix whatever happened.

"I kind of want to try next." Maggie said earning a surprised look from Irina. "What it looks like fun. I mean how many other chances are any of us going to get to use a sword that doesn't break?"

"You have a point but it still looks dangerous." Irina didn't want her mate trying it at all.

"You just said that no-one was going to get hurt." Maggie reminded her.

Irina sighed. "Yes I did. I don't want you to actually be put in danger but if you would like to try I will support your decision."

"Great. "Maggie gave Irina a kiss on the cheek. "I'll ask when they are done."

"I myself was going to ask as well." Liam said.

"Yeah it would be kind of fun to fight with a sword." Emmett agreed. As he predicted after training with Isabella he was a much better fighter. He honestly believed that if he went against Jasper he would have a chance at winning. Even without his gloves. If he used his gloves he would no doubt come out on top.

"Isabella said she wanted some down time before the fight. We shouldn't pressure her into doing more for us." Rosalie knew that Isabella hadn't been to happy about doing the personal training and doubted she would want to spend her time teaching everyone how to use a sword.

"That's true. Maybe she will run through some moves with a couple of us. Even just trying it for a few minutes would be fun." Maggie wasn't deterred. If Isabella said no then she would respect the vampire and not push. Isabella had done more than enough for each of them and Maggie had been grateful for all the help she gave.

"Ok Kate let's go through that again but in slow motion. That way you can see all of the openings I left for you to attack." Isabella said.

Kate watched as Isabella moved slowly and noticed all the spots she could have taken advantage of." I see what you mean. I could have taken not only one of your limbs off but you left a big enough opening that I could have taken your head."

"Exactly. If you miss the first opening don't worry to much because you are almost guaranteed to get another one." Isabella told her.

"Can we try again?" Kate asked.

"Sure." Isabella liked doing sword training. It broke up the monotony of just doing hand to hand combat. It was also something that Isabella enjoyed immensely. Many times she had wanted to make her own Kate a sword but her mate had vetoed it every time Isabella had brought it up. Isabella understood why she told her no but it would be nice to have someone she could actually fight against. Tanya had also vetoed her making a practice sword that would only be used for sparing became she didn't think her Kate could be trusted to not take it without permission. Isabella didn't have a defense to that because Tanya was more than likely right and Kate would probably take the sword the first opportunity she got. Maybe she would make one for this Kate. It seemed that she knew how to respect the weapon and wouldn't hurt anyone with it. She would have to talk to Tanya about it later because it would most definitely be up to her as Kate was a part of her coven. Isabella decided to worry about that later though now she wanted to have some fun before the newborn army came. Looking at the faces of the spectators she had a feeling that her down time wouldn't be happening anytime soon with how interested they all seemed in the sword.

Do you think we have a bond?" Rosalie asked Isabella. After Isabella had spent some time with everyone showing them how to use her sword she had politely asked for some time alone. Rosalie was happy that Isabella included her in her alone time and easily agreed to spend time with her in her garage. Rosalie was looking over the hover bike with the manual asking Isabella questions on certain technology she didn't understand while Isabella was going through her digital music library picking out different songs to listen to on Rosalie's stereo. Rosalie felt completely relaxed and decided to bring up the question that had been bugging her since the first time Isabella had visited.

"I'm surprised you didn't ask me that already. Although I was expecting Tanya to ask first." Isabella replied.

"Does that mean we do have a bond?" Rosalie asked.

Isabella nodded. "I have some level of bond with each Tanya and Rosalie I meet. However you and I have a stronger bond then I do with the Rosalie's in other dimensions. Not as strong as the one with my Rosalie but still rather strong."

"That's why I was so depressed when you left last time and when you came back it felt like a weight was lifted when I saw you." Rosalie said.

"I didn't realize it was affecting you so much. I'm sorry." Isabella was so used to the ache of being away from her bond mates she never really thought about what the others she interacted with had felt. Then again the bond with this Rosalie was a lot stronger.

"It's not your fault. I just wondered." Rosalie was glad that she actually had a reason for what she felt around Isabella." Do you think that because our bond is so strong that when she is changed my bond to Bella will be strong as well?"

"I'm not sure. I've never went back to a dimension where that Rosalie met a human Bella after she was changed." Isabella thought about it for a moment. "Then again like I said you and I have a very strong bond. I too missed you more than the others when I left. I had actually been planning on coming back to visit you soon."

"You were?" Rosalie was pleased to hear that.

"Yes I was. That's why I made your daggers and Emmett's gloves as soon as I got back. I had a feeling I was going to get pulled here again but if I didn't then I was going to go home for a couple weeks after I left the dimension I got pulled from and come back here." Isabella told her.

"Does that mean when you leave this time you will definitely be coming back again?" Rosalie hoped she would.

"I would like to but it would nice not to have all these people here next time. I know it's exciting to talk to someone like me who sees things that others don't and knows things that are wondrous to others but I get the same reception everywhere I go. Well once I convince them to believe me. After that it's all questions and asking what I can do for them. Some actually demand I do things and those aren't the places I ever return to voluntarily." Bella said.

Rosalie suddenly felt very guilty. She had acted like those people. "I'm sorry Isabella. We have been no better than that. Me especially. I have used our bond to get you to agree to a lot of things you didn't want to do."

"I don't mind doing things for you. I even don't mind helping the others. It's just that sometimes it's a little much. You all know each other and see each other as family. Whereas I don't know any of you and you are strangers. So doing something for you who I have bond with or for Tanya and Bella is no big deal. It just gets a little too much when people like Carlisle and Eleazar try to monopolize my time. I don't usually get a lot of down time. Even at home I have obligations to the queens, my mate and my Rosalie. I love them all, it's just annoying when I have a chance to take a break and instead I have people pestering me for things." Isabella explained.

"So when you go to other dimensions people react the same way we have?" Rosalie hadn't really thought about how trying it was for Isabella to deal with the same thing over and over again. It was surprising she didn't just snap at everyone constantly.

"Most of the time it's worse. People seem to think that because I'm in their dimension that I have to follow their laws and respect those in charge. I even had one of the kings in a particularly dangerous dimension try and thrown me in the dungeon to be tortured because I refused to use my gift of a shield to kill his rivals." Isabella said.

"What?" Rosalie exclaimed. "How did you get out of that situation?"

"I turned myself invisible and ran from their stronghold. That was a messed up place though. I quickly took care of the threat against Tanya and their Isabella and left. I didn't wait around to train any of them except Isabella with her shield." Isabella shivered thinking of all the horrors she saw in that dimension.

"I can't imagine all the things you have had to deal with." Rosalie had initially thought it would be fun to travel with Isabella and see new places but now she was learning it wasn't always some fun adventure. Isabella had to deal with some very dangerous places.

"It scares my mate and my Rosalie every time I leave. You can't see it because I keep myself covered but my body is covered in scars. I have come close to losing my life more times than I care to think of." Isabella said.

"Have you ever actually tried to bring someone with you?" Rosalie asked.

Isabella nodded. "Once I got the hang of it I tried to bring my Rosalie. I left and she just stayed in the spot she was standing in my dimension."

"That's too bad." Rosalie wasn't even thinking about the missed opportunity she had from not going with Isabella but the fact that Isabella didn't have the added help of someone going with her.

"It is what it is." Isabella told her. "Some times I get really down and question why I was cursed to be the one to do this but then I think about how it feels to be away from my mate and how I don't want anyone else to have to feel that or I think of the happiness I bring to the couples I unite or the people I save. That's what keeps me going."

"I don't know if I could do it." Rosalie didn't think she was strong enough. Not only physically but mentally.

"I still can't figure out why I was chosen. I know there are probably other Isabellas that would do a better job but for some reason fate chose me." Isabella had thought about it for a long time and could never find the answer. Nor could anyone else she asked.

"I think you do a good job." Rosalie said.

"Thank you." Isabella replied.

"Do you really think that all of us are going to make it out of this fight alive?" Rosalie asked.

Isabella nodded. "I have no doubt with the things I've taught all of you and the wolves that you will be fine. If someone gets into trouble then I will step in of course but I don't think I will have to."

"I know I feel more comfortable having you there with us." Rosalie told her.

"I could easily handle the problem myself but this would be a good way for each of you to learn how to take care of yourselves." Isabella said. "I'm not always going to be around to save you. I only come if Tanya and Bella have a direct threat against them. If they or any of you decide to fight anyone then you are all on your own."

"Knowing that makes me even more grateful that you were willing to help us." Rosalie had watched all the progress everyone had made throughout training and knew that Isabella had improved everyone's abilities. If it wasn't for her Rosalie knew they would have had no chance against the newborns.

Isabella just shrugged and went back to looking at music. "Who is Tom Jones?"

"He's a singer from England which is across the ocean from us." Rosalie told her. Realizing the conversation was over she went back to the manual and the hover bike. She was happy that Isabella confirmed their bond and promised to come back to visit. Rosalie would just have to figure out a way for them to spend time together without the family around. Maybe they could make a plan for when Isabella came back so that she only alerted Rosalie. She knew her family would be upset if they weren't told but after this talk Rosalie realized that Isabella needed a break. So if she came back Rosalie was going to plan something fun for the two of them to do together. Maybe she could use one of the vials that made it so they could go out in the sun. That would open up a lot of possibilities.

So this is it." Kate said as she swung Isabella's sword around. Against the protest of Tanya Isabella had been nice enough to let Kate use it during the battle. With her were Isabella, Rosalie and Emmett standing in the tree line invisible from all by Isabella's shield. The Cullens along with Tanya, Bella, Eleazar and Carmen where loosely spread out across one end of the clearing looking like a bunch of disorganized amateurs. The wolves were spilt up on both sides of the field while the Irish coven with Irina and Garrett were hidden in the tree line behind the Cullens. The plan was for the newborn army and Victoria to believe that the only vampires they were fighting were the ones they could see so that they would get over confident and rush them. The rest of the vampires and the wolves fighting against the army would move to box the newborns in. In theory the plan was brilliant, Kate however was worried something would go wrong. She trusted Isabella but Kate still thought the woman was somewhat insane so it was hard to put her full faith in the plan.

"Yup." Emmett replied. He was beyond excited. He finally was able to get to use his gloves and hoped that the moves Isabella had taught him would be as cool as they were in practice. If he could actually smash a vampires head in then Emmett thought this whole fight would be worth it.

"Here they come." Rosalie and the others watched the group of newborns rush into the field with Victoria following slowly behind them. They had used bagged human blood to drench the grass and trees to make a trail to funnel the vampires to exactly where they wanted them. It seemed like that plan was working because instead of showing any restraint the newborns were just rushing into the clearing trying to get to the only human there which was Bella.

"Hold." Isabella said not wanting their group to reveal themselves just yet. They had a plan and if they didn't wait for all of the newborns and Victoria to make it to the clearing then all this preparation would be for nothing. As soon as she was sure no more vampires were coming she lit the rope that was laying on the ground a few feet in front of her setting off the signal.

"That is so cool." Kate said when the flame from the rope spread across the clearing lighting up piles of brush and rags soaked in gasoline creating a line of fire. When Isabella had told them about the trap she wanted to set Kate had thought it wouldn't make much of a difference but seeing the 6 ft tall flames Kate realized that the crazy woman was actually a genius. Kate made a note to talk to Isabella after this was over about other traps that could be used during a battle because she was sure this wasn't the only one that Isabella knew about.

"Let's go." Isabella dropped her shield from the group and rushed towards the fight. She disabled three newborns before they even realized there was any kind of threat coming from behind. The plan for her was to get close to Tanya and Bella to protect the human and interfere when needed. Two more vampires down and she was right in front of Bella pulling her close behind her. "I'm here."

Tanya sighed in relief as she ripped off the head of the newborn trying to get to Bella. She was happy the plan had worked out so far and Isabella was easily able to make it to her and Bella. Thank god."

"Remember stay close." Isabella told Bella.

"I know." There was no way Bella was going to move away from Isabella. The vampire was the only sure fire way she had of being safe.

Isabella scanned the battlefield looking for any weak spots where she would have to step in. Eleazar was being protected by Carmen, Esme and Carlisle while scanning for gifted vampires speaking into a radio to the various allies that could properly take them on. Riley had told them about a vampire that could make you black out and as Isabella watched Siobhan rip the head off a confused vampire with black eyes Isabella figured that the woman was taken care of. Isabella was actually very impressed with the way the others were taking care of the newborns and focused her sights on Victoria. The red head was obviously frustrated and was trying to figure out an escape plan. "Tanya take over. I need to get to Victoria before she leaves."

"Go." Tanya didn't want Bella to be left unprotected but knew that if Victoria got away all of this would be for nothing.

"Rosalie with me." Isabella called out to the blond as she rushed by her.

Rosalie finished the cut on the vampire she was fighting's head and rushed after Isabella without even thinking twice about it. She knew that if Isabella needed her it was for something important. As she was rushing after Isabella Rosalie took a moment to take stock of herself. She hadn't been injured at all and had been decimating any vampire who had come close to her. She had even done as Isabella had told her and used her gift to make the newborns act as bodyguards for her. It allowed her to take on more vampires and her kill count was now up to five. "What do you need?"

"Victoria is trying to get away. I need us to stop her." Isabella slowed down enough for Rosalie to be near her and made them invisible again. "She is an older vampire and I don't know her fighting capabilities. I'm using my shield so she can't detect us. I need you to come at her from behind and take off her head while I distract her."

"Got it." Rosalie was touched that Isabella would trust her with something so important and made herself focus on the task at hand. She wasn't going to let Isabella down. Rosalie was going to show her trust in her was worth it.

"Get ready." Isabella moved from behind Victoria and let down her shield causing the red head to jump in surprise.

"What the hell. Who are you? The girl is still human and yet you look…." Was all Victoria got out before Rosalie had used the cross cut move Isabella had taught her to slice off Victoria's head.

"That was easier than I thought. "Emmett said as he came running up to Rosalie and began checking her over for injuries.

"I'm fine Emmett." Rosalie said realizing the battle was over. It hadn't even taken a half an hour to take care of all the newborns and Victoria. "How is every one else?"

"I don't know about the wolves but we have no casualties." Emmett told her.

"That's good to hear. Now let's get everyone together so we can do a debrief and I can go home." Isabella was happy this was finally over. She had been away from home for to long and missed her mate and her Rosalie greatly. She promised herself unless she was pulled somewhere unexpectedly she wasn't doing any traveling for a while. Not even for the queens. She deserved a vacation.

"I really wish you could stay longer." Rosalie said sadly.

"I will miss you but it is time for me to return to my beloved and my Rosalie. The sooner we talk to the others the sooner I can do that. "Isabella would miss Rosalie but it was time to go home.

"Hey did you guys see how great I was?!" Kate excitedly yelled as she ran up to the trio.

"I was busy during the fight but I thought I saw the body of a vampire sliced in half." Emmett said.

Kate smiled brightly." That was me. I did that awesome spin move Isabella taught me and sliced him right across the stomach. You should have seen it. Even with only his head attached to his torso he was still able to move. He was flapping his arms around screaming. I didn't give him chance to get back to his lower body though and chopped his head off. I didn't even use my gift that much because I was so focused on slicing and dicing people."

"Our group had little problem as well." Carlisle said as they walked up to the spot that he was starting a bon fire. Some of the others were already throwing body parts into it. "Eleazar was able to point out each of the gifted vampires and they were taken care of by those that he deemed were the best to face them."

"How did you guys do?" Isabella asked Siobhan.

"I was able to use my strength to defeat the enemy a lot easier than I had been able to before so I thank you for that. We did not have any casualties and I believe Maggie was able to use her gift as you instructed her how to do." Siobhan told her.

"I was. With Irina's help I got three of them to switch sides." Maggie had been happy that her gift worked as well as Isabella said it would. She had had her doubts but with the moves she and her mate had been shown and the practice they had Maggie and Irina had little problem dealing with the enemy that had made it to them.

"How did your people make out?" Isabella asked Sam who had approached in his human form wearing a pair of shorts.

"We did good. A lot better than we thought and minus a few bruises we had no serious casualties or injuries. All thanks to you." Sam had no doubt that without Isabella the wolves wouldn't have been that successful. Even with the warning fighting an army of vampires was a lot harder than he and his pack thought it would be.

"That's good to hear." Isabella was happy that no one got hurt. It meant that the time when she would rather have been relaxing was well spent. "Now we just have to clean up this mess and head back to the Cullen's house so I can get my stuff and go home."

"Would it be alright it my pack came with you as well to say a proper goodbye. The ones in wolf form need to check in and get changed but would like to see you off." A few of the wolves had asked Sam to ask if they could say goodbye to Isabella and Sam didn't see any problems with asking.

"That would be fine with me but it's up to the Cullens." Isabella didn't see the big deal but knew that the wolves and the Cullens had a treaty she didn't want to accidentally break.

"That's fine with us Sam." Carlisle told him. He hoped that after working so closely together that the relationship between his coven and the wolves would improve. He would have to thank Isabella before she left for bringing the two groups together and the work she did to make the wolves trust them because he had no doubt that without Isabella the wolves would have probably made a move to eliminate his coven and the rest of them when they had a chance.

"Good now let's get this all cleaned up." Isabella was already planning on how she was going to spend the first few days home with Tanya. It was tradition that she give her love the first few days home to spend together. Rosalie would get the next days after that as it was considered being her mate gave Tanya priority. Isabella didn't fight it as often Tanya felt pushed aside for her relationship with Rosalie. Regardless whether that was true or not didn't matter. What mattered was getting home and seeing her favorite people. Knowing that wouldn't get done until all the bodies were burned Isabella began helping the others.

And remember to tell him that Bowser is the best character to play Mario Kart with. I mean Mario is cool and all but you can't get any more badass than the King of the Koop race. All that's in the book I got him." Emmett said as he followed Isabella out to the front lawn. She had been gathering all the gifts she had gotten for her people and Emmett had taken to explaining to her once again the video games and system he got her Emmett.

"And Mario is a very famous character that I shouldn't judge just because he is a plumber?" Isabella asked.

"Exactly." Emmett replied.

"How about you give her a chance to say good bye to everyone Emmett." Rosalie knew if left alone Emmett would continue giving Isabella detailed instructions on each individual game he bought for his counterpart.

Isabella gave Rosalie a grateful look as she put the final bag of things she was taking home in the pile. She had come there with one large duffle bag and now she was going home with six duffle bags, the biggest backpack she had ever seen and a box she was given to by Kate with the instructions Isabella's Kate be the only one to open it. She wasn't sure what was inside and although worried mostly she didn't want to know. When she and Rosalie had been shopping online it seemed everyone decided they wanted to send something to Isabella's version of themselves. Even the Irish coven got involved. She was going to have a lot of happy people in her life when she got home because usually she was the one who picked out gifts not her friends' other selves.

"So what did you decide to do about the hover bike?" Kate asked. She wanted to know if Isabella was going to take it back with her and if not who was going to get ownership over it.

"I have decided that Rosalie can have the hover bike and I will just get my Rosalie one another time." Isabella told her.

"Oh man." Kate groaned. Now she was never going to get to ride it again.

Rosalie smirked at Kate. "Thank you Isabella."

"It's no problem." Isabella wanted to go back to that dimension anyway because of some of the plants she had seen she wanted to get Tanya. That Tanya had told her about one that enhanced a vampires gift if mixed with some other things that she wanted to investigate.

"So I guess this is it." Carlisle along with everyone involved in the newborn fight including the wolves stood around his front yard that had become the unofficial hangout spot.

"Yup. My work here is done." Isabella said.

"Will we see again?" Eleazar asked.

"Maybe but if Tanya and Bella get into trouble then definitely." Isabella hoped the next time she visited wasn't because she was pulled there.

"They do seem to attract danger like magnets." Irina said as she approached Isabella and gave her a hug. "Thank you for all you have done not only helping my sisters and I find our mates but giving us the skills to keep them safe."

Maggie stepped in after Irina released Isabella. "Yeah, thank you for everything."

"It's no problem." Isabella assured her.

"I know we can never repay you for what you have done for us but if you ever need anything let us know and myself and the rest of our coven will come to your aide." Siobhan told Isabella as she clasped arms with her in a warrior hold.

"Anything." Liam reiterated.

Isabella shook Liam's hand. "I will."

"I guess it's our turn." Sam said.

Isabella smiled as the tall man pulled her into a hug. "It's been an honor fighting beside you and your pack Sam."

"I assure you the honor is ours." Sam pulled away to let the other wolves give Isabella hugs as well. He was surprised to find he was going to miss the vampire.

After the last wolf hugged her Isabella pulled out a pouch filled with a dozen vials. "Here is the rest of the healing serum and the pain medication I have with me. Use it well."

"This will help many of my people." Sam held the pouch in his hand carefully worried about breaking the vials. They would be a great help to not only his pack but future packs as well so he didn't want to lose even one of them.

"If I return I will bring more." Isabella told him.

"Goodbye friend." Sam said as he signaled for the rest of his pack to follow him back home.

Alice watched as the wolves left. "I'm surprised how close you got to the wolves."

"They were more willing to offer friendship than other shifters I have met." Isabella said.

"Anyway. It was good seeing you and thank you for once again helping myself and Jasper." Alice said giving Isabella a hug as Jasper nodded his head in agreement.

Carlisle held out his hand for her to shake. "Hopefully next time you come back for a visit. I have so many things I want to ask you about that I didn't get to brush the surface of this time."

"I look forward to it." Isabella lied. If she came back to visit she wouldn't be coming to talk to Carlisle.

"Thank you for showing me a different way of using my gift. I know that if we have any future battles it will be of great help." Eleazar said as he shook Isabella's hand. Isabella had to refrain from looking at her watch as this was taking a lot longer than she would have liked.

Kate pulled Isabella into a big hug. "I'm going to miss you and your craziness."

"I'll miss you to Kate." Isabella really would miss her. This Kate was a lot like her own and after spending time with her this visit Isabella had become fond of the blond.

"Maybe next time you come back you can bring me my own sword." Kate said only to be cut off by Tanya.

"She will not be making you a sword Katerina." Tanya wasn't going to let that happen. She hadn't gotten a chance to speak to Isabella about what she wanted her to bring back but didn't think it would be appropriate in front of everyone. She would have to talk to Rosalie later about what they had spoken about. Tanya was sure at one point the topic of Isabella returning was brought up. The bond was obvious between the two vampires and Tanya doubted that Isabella would refuse to visit Rosalie again.

"You're no fun." Kate grumbled letting Isabella go. "Anyway thanks for the training and helping Garrett learn how to use his gift.

Isabella wasn't going to get into the fact that Garrett didn't actually have a gift. It would just be more wasted time. "It was no problem and if I come back I'll bring you something. Maybe not a sword but I'm sure my Kate will find something cool for you."

"I would love that!" Kate smiled brightly at the idea. She bet if her counterpart was as cool as Isabella made her out to be then she would be getting something incredible.

"What about your Emmett? Would he send me something?" Emmett asked excited about the idea of getting a gift from another dimension. He knew Rosalie got a couple things but he wanted something of his own. Hopefully a robot.

"I'll talk to my Emmet for you." Isabella laughed when Emmett pulled her into his arms and spun her around.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Emmett exclaimed happily.

"Put her down Emmett." Rosalie scolded. "If you hurt her I bet her Tanya and her Rosalie won't let her bring you anything. Heck they probably wouldn't let her come back to visit."

Emmett set Isabella down. "Sorry."

"It's alright." Isabella assured him. She then turned her attention to Tanya. "So."

"So" Tanya replied. "I think this is the part where I make a grand speech about me being in your debt for all the things you have done for and given us. Then I tell you how I can never repay you but if you ever need me I will be at your side in a minute."

Isabella smiled. "Then after you finish I would dismiss your thanks and offers of repayment reminding you instead that I would do it a thousand times over because I love so much."

"I guess we can skip that part huh?" Tanya asked.

"Yeah I guess we can." Isabella agreed.

Tanya happily let herself be pulled into a hug by Isabella. "Thank you my friend."

"It was no big deal. You would have done the same if you were in my position." Isabella said.

"I don't know about that but I will miss you. If you ever come back to visit let me know. I'll give you a proper tour of Alaska and our home." Tanya told her.

"I would like that." Isabella then turned her attention to the last person left. Instead of saying anything she just opened her arms.

Rosalie didn't even hesitate to rush to Isabella nor did she feel any embarrassment when she felt her eyes filling with tears that would never fall. "I don't want you to go."

"A part of me doesn't want to go either but I don't belong here." Isabella wished she could take Rosalie with her but that wasn't possible.

"You'll come back though right?" Rosalie asked as she buried her head into Isabella's neck taking in her friend's scent.

Isabella nodded. "Nothing could keep me away."

"Then I'll research amusement parks to go to so you can experience some new ones." Rosalie had liked the stories Isabella had told her about her and her Rosalie visiting amusement parks and playing games and riding the rides. Now that she had a way to not only stay out in the sun but eat park food she would have to find the best one to take Isabella to.

"I would like that." Isabella told her. Pulling away Isabella cradled Rosalie's face in her hand and kissed her on the forehead. "This isn't goodbye my friend it's just a break in between our next adventure."

Rosalie nodded clearing her throat of the extra emotion she was fighting. "Until our next adventure."

Isabella pulled back, loaded all the bags on her body and picked up the box. Taking a deep breath she focused on her link to her mate and let her gift wash over her in a flash of light.

"I knew what was going to happen and still it was as cool seeing it now as it was the first time." Kate said.

"Are you alright?" Emmett asked Rosalie. The last time Isabella had left Rosalie had been sad but this time it was completely different. He knew the pair had spent a lot of time together but he hadn't realized they were so close.

"I will be." Rosalie promised. She knew the only reason she would was because Isabella would come back but she didn't want to tell her mate that. She now understood what Isabella had meant about her bond with her Rosalie upsetting their mates so much. She didn't feel any romantic feelings towards Isabella it was more like a piece of herself was missing now that the other vampire was no longer there. Watching the rest of the group make their way off to do whatever they were going to do now that Isabella was gone Rosalie decided to go to her garage. She wanted to be alone to process everything that had happened. She was happy that Isabella finally got to go home however. She would miss her but Rosalie understood that Isabella had other people who depended on her.

"Yay presents!" Kate cheered as Isabella appeared suddenly in the living room of their home. Isabella took a second to get her bearings and when she looked around she noticed that it was filled with a lot of relieved looking vampires. Usually when she came back from her trip it was Tanya and Rosalie hanging out waiting for her but this time it was their entire coven plus Alec, Jane, Liam, Siobhan and even Marcus, Didyme and Sulpician. Dropping her bags on the floor she was engulfed in a crushing hug by Tanya.

"You can't leave me again." Tanya sobbed.

"How long was I gone?" Isabella asked. She had never received this kind of reception when she came back from her previous trips.

"You have been gone 42 days." Rosalie told her anxiously waiting for her turn to hug her friend.

"42 days. That doesn't make sense. My watch said I was only gone for a little over two weeks." Isabella held her watch up to look at it. It seemed to still be working just fine.

"I'm going to go inform the others that Isabella is back." Alec said. He needed a minute to get his emotions under control. He and his sister had been overwhelmed with their grief as they both feared the worst had happened to their friend.

"I'll go with you." Jane wanted a moment alone as well. Isabella was one of her best fiends and Jane had been almost as frantic as Tanya and Rosalie as the days went by and she still hadn't returned.

"So what kept you so long this time?" Emmett asked. He just like everyone else was happy Isabella was home. As the days passed with no word from her his mate had become almost catatonic. She got to the point of refusing to go hunting for fear of missing out on any news. Emmett had brought her back game to feed from and when she refused to even do that they had to force her to drink the replenishing liquid to make sure she didn't starve.

"Sweetheart I'm alright." Isabella was trying to reassure her mate but by the way her words just made Tanya sob harder she knew it didn't work.

"I can't lose you." Tanya clung tighter burying her head into Isabella's neck.

"You won't lose me. I was able to prepare the others and we handled the danger easily. Why I didn't even get to kill that many vampires." Isabella told her.

Rosalie growled. "What do you mean danger? You said you were only going to deal with uniting mates not that you were going to deal with danger."

"I did go to unite mates. After I finished that I was pulled to that dimension I told you about where I had to find everyone's mates and teach them about their gifts and abilities. Their Isabella and Tanya were being hunted by a newborn army." Isabella quickly added before the others could interrupt. "I am fine. We had not only the same group of vampires from the last time I visited but I trained the wolf shifters and they helped as well."

"You got to fight with wolf shifters?" Kate asked.

"Yes by the time I was done with them they made it out of the fight with no injuries or death." Isabella said.

"That doesn't matter. What matters is you're home and you can't leave for a long time." Tanya pulled out of their hug and stepped back letting Rosalie have her turn. She may have been jealous over the other blonde's bond with her mate but she knew that Rosalie had been just as distraught as she had been.

Rosalie immediately rushed into Isabella's arms. "You can't go anywhere again. We can't lose you."

"I will have to go but I will always come back." Isabella promised.

"Ok enough of this lovely dovey stuff. Let's get to the bags you brought back." Kate motioned to all the stuff Isabella had brought back. "Do any of those have presents for us?"

Sulpicia chuckled. "It's good to see you are well Isabella. We will leave you to your reunion but please check in when you can. Athenodora, Caius and Aro would like to see for themselves that you are well."

"Of course Cia. It may be a couple of days but I'll be by. I have some things to give each of you." Isabella pulled out of her hug with Rosalie and led her to the couch where Tanya immediately pulled her on her lap with Rosalie grabbing her legs and putting them on her lap.

"So tell us all about the newborn army." Emmett was excited to hear about Isabella's latest adventure.

"Well it was all rather boring if I'm being honest. None of the group knew how to fight so I had to train them and the wolves. That took a lot of time" Isabella said.

"I bet you were annoyed with that." Irina knew how little free time Isabella had. If she had to train that many people to fight she probably didn't get any down time.

"It's not that it was annoying, it was that I was hoping to come home. Waiting for the army to come was tedious. The fact that that dimensions Carlisle and Eleazar wouldn't stop asking me questions made me want to leave them all to their doom." Isabella quickly corrected herself. "Well maybe just the two of them. Everyone else was alright."

"How long were you with them?" Liam asked.

"I was only with them for about two weeks. The dimension before only 4 days. I knew that time was slower in the first dimension but I think it may have been a lot slower than I originally thought. I will have to see if there is something is wrong with my watch. Maybe something interfered with it." Isabella mused. It wouldn't be the first time it happened as certain technology wasn't compatible with each dimension.

"So what was the source of the newborn army?" Maggie asked. She was always fascinated with hearing about Isabella's travels. She just wished that this time Isabella hadn't been gone that long. They may not have been as distressed as Tanya and Rosalie but the four members of her coven had been beside themself on how to help out. Until this happened it didn't seem possible that Isabella wouldn't come back and the reality that it could happen had shaken up everyone who knew Isabella.

"Well you know that Laurent was claiming a false mate bond with their Irina?" Isabella smiled hearing Irina groan in embarrassment." You weren't alone in having a false mate claim. At least yours wasn't with Edward."

"That's true." Irina did feel better about that fact.

"So Laurent was working with Victoria who is the red head that is mated to the tracker James." When the members of the room nodded Isabella continued. "Apparently James had got it in his head that hunting Bella was a good idea."

"I'll kill him." Tanya hissed.

"That group did. That is why Victoria sent Laurent to our coven to get information on the Cullens. In her grief she figured she couldn't take out the vampires by herself so she created a bunch of newborns to kill the whole lot of them. "Isabella explained.

"So you were pulled there to protect Tanya and Bella from a newborn army?" Rosalie didn't like that. She knew Isabella could take care of herself but her friend was also known for protecting everyone. Isabella could have been easily hurt if she was trying to save another person's life.

Isabella nodded. "We didn't know where Victoria was keeping them so we couldn't just go and eliminated them. Also with the lack of fighting ability a few of them would have probably died. They all were about a skilled as a bunch of newborns. Well Jasper, Liam And Siobhan had some fighting skills. It was just that they weren't using their natural skills properly. Their Siobhan wasn't even using her strength at all."

"She doesn't rely on her strength?" This surprised Siobhan because she was the strongest vampire she knew. It was her strength that made her the skilled fighter she was.

"They didn't even know that vampire's bodies could change. They were under the impression that they were frozen in the state they were turned." Isabella told them.

"Do they not have scientist and other scholars like we do? "Maggie asked.

"I got the impression that the vampire community there didn't do much other than try to blend in with the humans and not get on the radar of their leaders." Isabella said.

"That's kind of sad." Irina couldn't imagine just being content with not knowing what limits vampires had. Although Isabella had introduced them to many new things they hadn't known about, the royals had researchers that spent their lives studying and finding different vampires to learn how they lived.

"It really was an unimpressive dimension. Their technology was primitive as well. Other than the video game system their Emmett sent our Emmett there wasn't much in the way of tech to bring back." Isabella told them.

"Emmet sent me something?!" Emmett asked excitedly. Isabella always brought them gifts when she returned but never had their other dimensional selves sent gifts to them.

"He did. So did all your other dimensional selves. Everyone in the room has gifts from their other selves. I also have some for the Cullens and Eleazar and Carmen." Isabella didn't look forward to having to visit the Cullens because Edward would be there but she wouldn't deny them their gifts.

"Did you have to deal with their Edward again?" Tanya was of the same mindset as her mate. She didn't want to have to deal with Edward or the way Carlisle and Esme babied him.

Isabella shook her head. "Ever since he found out Bella wasn't his mate he took off and hasn't been back since. Their Tanya is convinced he is planning something. Their Bella is human and we all know how he acts when I'm human."

"Why haven't they changed her yet?" Rosalie asked.

"Forget about that. Lets get to the presents. What did me give me?!" If Kate remembered right Isabella had told her their Kate had been just like her so she hoped it was something fun she sent.

"The cardboard box is yours Kate. I don't know what's in it though." Isabella debated on whether she should send Kate out of the room to open it just in case it was dangerous.

Kate opened the box excitedly, confused when inside was 12 cans with a note on top that said aim for the head. Pulling out one of the cans she read the label. "What is silly string?"

"I haven't a clue." Isabella said.

"Huh." Kate popped the top on the can, shook it and pointed it at Tanya.

"Kate don't you dare." Tanya began only to be sprayed by a stream of silly string.

"Oh man that is so awesome!" Emmett cheered. "Can I try one?"

"Kate stop it right this second!" Tanya demanded as she tried to swat the string away from her body. All she was accomplishing was getting it stuck to her fingers. Deciding to kill her sister Tanya pulled Isabella off of her lap and rushed after Kate. "I'm going to kill you!"

"Emmett you are not touching that." Rosalie told him as she happily pulled Isabella onto her own lap. She wanted to take every chance she had to have contact with her friend because she knew Tanya would get the first few days alone with Isabella now that she was back.

"Well what did I get then?" Emmett asked.

"First off the backpack I was wearing is full of food that needs to be put in the freezer. I was introduced to new kinds of seafood that their Alice was kind enough to buy some to freeze so I could bring it home." Isabella said.

"I'll get on that." Irina volunteered. She loved when Isabella brought home exotic foods from her travels. The fact that Isabella had found a way for them to eat was impressive enough but Irina and the others were grateful that Isabella went out of her way to get new things for them to try.

"Can you let me up?" Isabella asked Rosalie. Isabella sighed when Rosalie shook her head. "Then Emmett would you be so kind to bring me the bags.

"No problem." Emmett grabbed the bags and handed the first one to Isabella.

Isabella opened the bag and handed it to Emmett. "This is from your Emmett. It's called a Nintendo switch. He wanted to send you other game consoles but I wasn't sure how we would be able to use them with our technology. This one you charge a battery for so I figured Rosalie could find a way to charge it for you."

"Sweet." Emmett rummaged through the bag looking at all the games inside. He also noticed a couple of books on the history of Nintendo and video games as well. "He got me a ton of games."

"He was very excited about giving this stuff to you. I also promised him that if I had to go back I would ask you to give him a gift to send back in return." Isabella said.

"No problem." Emmett was already thinking of the many things he could send to the other Emmett.

"Thank you." Isabella said to Maggie when she handed the next bag to her. Opening it she pulled out a book and handed it to Liam.

Liam read the title out loud. "The art of war. This looks interesting."

"That Liam thought that if you were anything like him you would enjoy reading a book that had been written many centuries ago that was the basis for most warfare throughout the ages." Isabella pulled out package this time and handed it to Maggie.

"This smells amazing." Maggie said as she unwrapped her package. "Chocolate?"

"When I was eating with them Maggie mentioned that she had never had chocolate before because during her human years only the wealthy could afford it. Learning that we did not have the plants to make it she thought you would enjoy trying it." Isabella had hoped to be able to get some seeds to grow the trees herself but wasn't able to find them. Next time she went back she would have to get a couple immature trees to bring home for Tanya to grow.

"Well it smells amazing." Maggie was going to wait to try it because she knew now that Isabella was back they would have a big feast to celebrate. She didn't want to miss out on it.

"Yes it does." Irina agreed as she took her seat next to Maggie. Isabella handed her a box which she opened to reveal a bunch of books. Looking at a couple of the covers she chuckled. "Lesbian romance novels."

"Irina in that dimension was a hopeless romantic. I think she thought you were as well so she sent you some of her favorites." Isabella was also reminded of Irina's private request. "She also asked me to see if you would help me find the perfect engagement ring for her to give her Maggie."

"I will happily help you with that." Irina was touched that her counterpart trusted her with something so important.

"That means they expect you to go back." Rosalie didn't like the idea of Isabella going anywhere.

"She isn't leaving again." Tanya said as she and a very disheveled looking Kate returned. "I won't allow it.

Isabella held back her reply as she knew that her mate was emotional from her long absence. Taking the next bag from Maggie Isabella opened it and handed it to Tanya. "I picked these out for you my love."

"Thank you sweetheart." Tanya kissed Isabella softly as she looked through the bag and saw a box of seeds and books on plants laying on a pile of clothing and other small boxes.

"Their Tanya also sent you a letter that is in there." Isabella told her.

"What did you get me?" Rosalie asked.

Looking through the other bags putting aside the ones that weren't for Rosalie Isabella settled on the last on. "This is a gift from your Rosalie."

"Beginning robotics." Rosalie chuckled when she pulled out a box. "It's so primitive."

"They were a little to interested when I told them about the robots I brought back for you. Rosalie actually wants me to bring her back some of the research." Isabella wasn't keen on the idea and wasn't sure she would fulfill that request.

"Well you don't have to worry about disappointing her because you will never be going back." Tanya said as she put her bag down and pulled Isabella back onto her lap.

"Yeah and it definitely wouldn't be fair if you gave strangers the blueprints to make killer robots when you refuse to let us even play with the ones Isabella gave you." Kate had tried everything she could to get Rosalie to let her have one of the robots but she had been denied each time. The one time she had tried to steal one she was without her hands for a week.

"No one is getting that information away from me and I told you Kate when I finish working on the robotic dog you can play with that." Rosalie was very close to perfecting the prototype and predicted she would have a working model within a few weeks. Her plan was to sell them to the public eventually but first she had to secure a few patents on the robotic technology she was using.

"Can the dog shoot fire though?" That was the only way in Kate's mind it would actually be cool.

"No but it will be programed to do tricks." Rosalie told her.

"I'm sure it will be amazing." Isabella said cutting off Kate's argument. She had no doubt that Kate would fall in love with the dog and want a whole pack of them for herself.

"Now that I have shared her with the rest of you it's time for me to get some alone time with my mate." Tanya had waited long enough. She needed to connect with her mate and reestablish their bond.

"How long will you be?" Rosalie didn't want to be away from Isabella now that they just got her back.

"I'm not going to voluntarily travel anywhere for at least a few months. I promise. We will have plenty of time to spend together." Isabella knew that everyone was feeling a bit on edge do to her disappearance and time spent together would be the only way to reassure them that she was alright.

"Ok." Rosalie didn't like it but knew it would just cause problems for Isabella if she fought Tanya on who got to be with Isabella first.

"While I'm away why don't you go through the rest of your bag. I picked out some things for you as well. Also one of the other bags is filled with clothes that are for anyone who wants them so you can pick out what you want." Isabella told them.

"Sweet." Kate jumped up and made her way over to the bag Isabella pointed at. "I hope some are as outrageous as what you got from the mere people."

"Kate those are for everyone. You will share." Isabella knew that if Kate had her way she would take everything for herself. Even items that didn't fit her.

"Yeah, yeah I know. "Kate was still going to make sure she got the best stuff. She along with everyone else knew that Isabella personally picked out clothing for Tanya and Rosalie and set it aside so it shouldn't matter who got what was left.

"Anyway we will see you in a couple days." Tanya impatiently pulled Isabella towards the staircase to lead them to their room with Isabella waving over her shoulder as she followed.

"Ok so usually if she is away for a long time we don't see them for at least four days when she gets home. How long do you think until we see them this time?" Kate asked as she held a shirt up to look at.

"Leave them alone Kate." Irina scolded her as she and Maggie took the bag of clothes from Kate to look through themselves. Isabella had impeccable taste and always brought back the best garments for them.

"I hope they aren't gone for to long." Rosalie grumbled. She needed to be around Isabella to reestablish her bond as well. It may not be romantic but it didn't mean it didn't hurt as much if not more than when she was away from Emmett. She was actually ashamed to admit it did hurt more. Not that Rosalie would tell her mate that. Sighing she went back to the bag Isabella brought back. If she couldn't be with Isabella it was at least nice to know she thought about Rosalie when she was gone.

Do you think she will come?" Emmett asked Rosalie. They were sitting in the Cullen's living room with members of the Denali coven and the Irish coven discussing what they should do about this new threat. It had been a week since Alice had a vision of an army of vampires descending on them being led by Edward. Alice only had that one vision of the event and it lacked many details. It had been easy to gather all their allies as the Irish coven were spending time with the Denali and Kate and Garrett had been able to get home in a day.

"I don't know. I hope so." Rosalie knew he was talking about Isabella. It had been 5 months since the vampire had last been there. Rosalie had missed Isabella terribly and had been expecting her to return by now to visit.

"There isn't anyway to contact her?" Tanya asked. She figured if anyone could it would be Rosalie.

Before Rosalie could reply the sound of something crashing through the forest in front of their home caught everyone's attention. Racing outside Rosalie instantly became concerned at the sight of two vampires, one she thought was Isabella, pulling themselves out of a tree. When the vampires stood and Rosalie got a look at both their faces she gasped.

"What the hell Rosalie? Why would you do something so dangerous?! You could have been hurt!" Isabella yelled.

"I didn't want you to leave again. You were gone to long last time." Rosalie said defensively.

"Do you understand the consequences of what you have done?" Isabella couldn't believe Rosalie would do something so irresponsible.

"I don't care about the consequences! I care about you!" Rosalie wasn't going to apologize for what she did.

Isabella felt her anger melt away at the look of hurt in her friend's eyes. Opening her arms she pulled Rosalie into a hug. "I know. I care about you to. I just worry."

"And you don't think I worry?" Rosalie snuggled into Isabella's arms.

"Ok wait a second, what the fuck is going on?" Kate asked.

Isabella pulled out of the embrace and faced the group of vampires watching them. "It's good to see you all even though I doubt I was pulled here for positive reasons. That being said. Everyone this is my Rosalie. Rosalie this is everyone."

"What the hell?" Emmett couldn't understand what he was seeing. He looked at his mate and then back to her vampire twin. He didn't feel any attraction to new comer it was just weird seeing two of her.

"I thought you couldn't bring people with you?" Carlisle was sure Isabella had told them that.

"I can't. That's what makes this so dangerous. Now Rosalie is here and I don't know if I can take her home." Isabella hoped this wouldn't cause problems but this was something she hadn't dealt with before.

"I didn't think of that when I lunged at you." Rosalie hadn't really thought about anything except to keep Isabella in their dimension.

"Well there is nothing to do about it now. At least until we deal with this threat and I can actually leave." Isabella said.

Rosalie having shook off her surprised rushed to Isabella and wrapped her arms around her friend. "I missed you so much."

"I missed you to Rosalie." Isabella had wanted to visit sooner but her family and friends still hadn't accepted the fact that she was alright.

"So you're the person Isabella gave my hover bike to." Rosalie had been upset when Isabella had told her but only because she had gotten it from the dimension where time was slow. Rosalie wanted a hover bike but didn't want to be apart from Isabella for however long it took her to get one.

"Sorry." Rosalie wasn't really sorry as she loved the bike. She used it often and even sometimes let Kate ride it. Only when she was supervised though.

"So Rosalie." Carlisle paused when both women turned to look at him. "We need to figure out a nickname for one of you so that we don't get confused."

"I don't mind if you call me Rose. "Isabella had introduced her to the flower and she had liked when Isabella called her that.

"Good then, as I was saying. So Rose you are from Isabella's dimension then?" Carlisle asked.

Rose nodded. "This is the first time I have been able to travel with her."

"You've tried before?" Garrett wondered if this meant others could travel with Isabella.

"Yes, numerous times. It has never worked though." Rose wondered what was different about this time.

"Amazing." Eleazar murmured. "Do you think now you will be able to take others with you?"

Isabella saw the looks of interest in most of the group's eyes and wanted to quickly squash any ideas they had about traveling with her. "I am not going to try taking anyone else with me. I don't travel for vacation and am not willing to play tour guide."

"Understandable." Carlisle was disappointed but not deterred. If this was the first time Isabella traveled with someone then maybe she was just in shock from the possibility. He would wait a few days and then ask her if she would take him.

"What are all of those black boxes?" Emmett asked. Scattered around the destruction Rose and Isabella caused were five industrial grade black boxes.

"Well Rose and I were delivering some supplies to a vampire community when I was forced to come here. She tackled me and the boxes must have been touching us when I traveled." Isabella and Rose had been carrying eight boxes so she figured that Rose must have dropped hers as she lunged. "I hope no one else finds the other boxes."

"That would be bad." Rose agreed.

"What's in them?" Kate asked excitedly.

"Nothing for us." Tanya didn't want anyone getting it in their head that they would get whatever Isabella had brought with her. Walking up to Isabella she gave the vampire a hug. "It's good to see you again Isabella."

"It's good to see you to Tanya." Isabella said.

"You know I can see how you were freaked out the first time you traveled. Seeing your mate but not feeling any kind of bond with them is disturbing." Rose had seen Emmett and was startled by the fact her mate was there but she didn't have any feelings except indifference for him.

"I told you. It's weird seeing Tanya so many times and it not being her." Isabella still couldn't wrap her mind around seeing her mate and them not being her actual mate.

"Oh wow. Carmen and Eleazar are here. I'm surprised they are hanging out with the Cullens. Especially since it seems they haven't started fighting yet." Rose said.

"What do you mean?" Eleazar asked.

"In my dimension you don't get along with the Cullens at all. You all have been brought before the queens numerous times because of all the damage the group of you cause. Many times Isabella and I or members of the guard have had to clean up the messes you guys make when you go at it." Rose told them.

"Seriously? "Kate couldn't see Eleazar and Carmen attacking anyone let alone the Cullens.

"Oh yeah. It's usually Carlisle who starts it." Rose said.

"Carlisle starts fights with Eleazar and Carmen?" Irina didn't believe that for a second.

"Maybe not here but from where I'm from him and Eleazar can't stand each other. Add Edward to the mix and it turns into a brawl. Where is Edward?" Rose noticed that everyone was present except for Edward.

"That is actually why you are here." Tanya said.

Isabella scanned the crowd focusing her attention on Bella. "Why am I still human?"

"Bella is planning on going on a trip with her father. After that we were going to stage an accident and change her." Tanya was somewhat embarrassed that Isabella was here to clean up her mess. If she had changed Bella maybe Edward would have left them alone.

"Let me guess. Edward is forming some kind of army in hopes to get Bella away from you." Isabella sighed when she got nods in reply. "I hate it when I meet Edward as a human."

"Why haven't you killed him yet?" Rose asked.

"We can't just kill my son." Carlisle was outraged at the thought.

"So you are just going to let him form an army to kill you and then what? Let him go after giving him a stern lecture." Rose smiled when she heard Rosalie laugh.

"I like you." Rosalie told her counterpart. She had said they should kill Edward and be done with it but had been shot down because of Carlisle and Esme.

"Edward is just misguided right now. I'm sure that if I can speak to him I can set him on the right path." Carlisle was sure of it.

Rose chuckled. "This is one of the reasons Eleazar and Carmen fight with you. Your unnatural love of Edward. I see it follows over to different versions of you."

"Is he just as bad in other dimensions?" Rosalie asked.

"You wouldn't believe how many times I get pulled somewhere because of Edward and Carlisle." Isabella told them. "But back to Rose's point. Why haven't you just killed him?"

"We are not…" Carlisle began only to be cut off by Rose.

"You do not speak for everyone." Rose growled. She wasn't going to deal with Carlisle trying to make all the decisions. "Isabella will tell you when she wants your input. Until then keep your mouth shut."

"You can't just come here and….."Carlisle began again only to find himself flat on his back with Rose's hand around his throat.

"I can do anything I want. That includes removing your head." Rose squeezed his throat to make her point.

"Rose that's enough." Isabella would love to see any version of Carlisle get his ass kicked but they had more important things to discuss. "He's an idiot but harmless to any of us. Just ignore him."

Rose gave Carlisle's neck one final squeeze before she released him and returned to Isabella's side. She smiled when Isabella wrapped her arm around her shoulders. "Sorry."

"What are you sorry for? I have been dying to do that to him. I just have to be more polite to get people to follow my lead." Isabella told her.

"Anyway." Tanya said trying to get them back on track. Rosalie had told her about Isabella's hatred of having to deal with Carlisle and Eleazar. She was surprised with what Rose had done and hoped that Carlisle didn't ruin any of the goodwill they had with Isabella. It wouldn't be good if they pissed her off and she refused to help them. "The reason we haven't killed Edward is because we don't know where he is."

"What attempts have you made at trying to find him?" Isabella asked.

"I have been meditating and trying to have more visions but I've only had the original one that tipped us off to his plan." Alice had wished she had more to tell Isabella but she didn't.

"Is that all? Have you gone to his last known location and searched for clues?" Isabella wasn't sure why she was surprised they hadn't done more. These people didn't even know about their gifts.

"Honestly we have been waiting for you." Emmett admitted.

Rose looked at the frustration on Isabella's face. That look made any of the excitement of having finally been able to travel with Isabella fade completely. "I now understand why you are so stressed when you come home from these trips."

"Alright Tanya, Rosalie, Liam, Siobhan, and Jasper you're with me and Rose. We will work out a plan for going forward and let the rest of you know what we decide." Isabella picked those five because they were the most responsible out of the group.

"What about me? I'm a coven leader I should have a say in how my coven is used." Carlisle said.

Rose sneered at the man. "You should go somewhere and come to terms with your son dying."

"How dare you.." Before Rose could take Carlisle down again Tanya interfered.

"Carlisle you are to invested in this and would not be able to make decisions without being emotionally involved. Why don't you go and spent time with Esme and calm down." Tanya knew that if Carlisle didn't leave them alone Rose would probably take a couple of his limbs.

"Fine but you will not order around my coven." Carlisle huffed. He wasn't going to let anyone come in and tell him how to run his family. It didn't matter who they were.

"Do we have a place we can work?" Isabella asked.

"We can use the office at my house. "Tanya offered. Not only would they have more room to work but it would get them away from the rest of the group.

"Let me just grab these boxes and we can get going." Isabella didn't trust leaving the boxes unattended.

"I'll help." Rosalie was more than happy to go to Tanya's house. The last two times Isabella had come she had been easy going and accommodating. This time it was obvious she was irritated and annoyed with all of them. Rosalie couldn't blame her though. Bella was still human which was a problem within itself and now they were dealing with Edward who Rosalie had wanted to search out right away and kill. She had been outvoted however because no one wanted to upset Carlisle and Esme without cause. It was because of both of those things that Isabella was once again pulled from her life against her will and this time Isabella had the added stress of Rose being with her. As she followed her friend through the woods to Tanya's house Rosalie hoped that she would at least get an hour or so to catch up with Isabella and maybe get a chance to talk to Rose. Isabella had told Rosalie all about her and Rosalie wanted to get to know her counterpart. That would have to wait until they had a plan laid out though and hopefully it would be decided on soon. The longer they left Edward alone the more time he had to bring his plans to fruition and Rosalie didn't want him to succeed.

"So where was the last place you know for sure he was? "Isabella asked the group that consisted of Tanya, Jasper, Rosalie, Liam and Siobhan. Rose was there as well and the seven of them were in Tanya's office in her home in Forks. Isabella hoped that if they could find Edward soon then they could kill him and stop him from being able to follow through with his plans. That way she could focus her attention on trying to figure out how to get Rose home. Isabella still wasn't sure how to do it or if she could even succeed.

"The last time he was checked on he was in Rio de Janeiro. "Rosalie said.

"Where exactly is that?" Isabella asked.

"Here let me pull up a map on my computer and you can look it over." Tanya loaded up her laptop and sat it at an angle that everyone could see the screen.

"Jeeze this thing is so primitive. It's so big and has a fixed screen." Rose knew Isabella told her that this dimension had unimpressive technology but this was worse than she thought.

"What do you mean fixed screen? "After dealing with the hover bike and the box that shrank things Rosalie had been spending time studying technology more. Knowing that Rose worked with not only things like that but advance robotics made Rosalie hope that she would teach her some new things.

"We have holographic projections of what we are seeing. Also most of our computers are used with voice activated commands. Typing isn't someone done unless you are working on very intricate programs that you need to make sure no mistakes are made. I personally am working on developing an AI. It's in it's beginning stages but I have made some great progress so far." Rose told them.

"You are creating artificial intelligence?" Tanya asked.

Rose nodded. "When I got the robots I was given the base line on how to do it. They aren't AIs but they have some awareness and can make decisions based on their programing. It's been the basis of my research."

"What have you done with the robots?" Rosalie wondered if Rose would be willing to help her build one of her own.

"I have used what I learned from them to create my own robotic dog. It's now available to the public and initial sales are high." Rose had been right about Kate wanting the dog because as soon as she finished the prototype Kate had begged for a dozen of them so she could modify them to fight each other. Tanya had put her foot down and forbid Rose from doing that, not that Rose would.

"You made a robotic dog? "Liam didn't know much about technology but knew that a robotic dog was something impressive.

"She did, however we have more important things to discuss. Afterwords you can ask Rose all the questions you want. She may even answer them for you." Isabella said.

"Isabella is right we need to focus on what Edward is doing." Tanya agreed. Stopping the boy from going after her mate was Tanya's number one priority. She would speak with Rose later after they had a plan.

"So he was here the last time you saw him?" Isabella pointed to the city on the computer screen. "What other vampires are around that area that he would have contact with?"

"I don't know any that would actually want to talk to him that live down that way. "Jasper said.

"It doesn't matter if they would willingly speak to him, he may have tried to contact them. Even if he didn't they could have heard some rumors about what he is up to. If Edward is like I think he is then there is no doubt in my mind that he is off somewhere bragging about how powerful he is and telling anyone who would listen about his plan." At least that's what kind of person Isabella thought he was from the interaction she had with him.

"That's exactly the type of person he is. I would honestly not be surprised if he reached out to some of the family to get us to help him get his mate back. "Rosalie knew Edward was stupid enough to do it.

"I thought you said he witnessed the bonding between Tanya and Bella?" Siobhan was sure that was what she was told.

"Oh he did but he still has it in his head that Bella is his mate." Tanya told her.

"It's because of my blood. Every dimension I meet Edward when I'm human he reacts rather poorly to my blood. I'm not an expert on singers but his reaction is a lot more extreme than others I have come across. It has nothing to do with him abstaining from it either. In some dimensions I visited he didn't want to drain their Isabella's at all he just wanted to have the blood exist. It's all rather disturbing." Isabella explained.

"That is disturbing. I had my experience with a singer and I still had presence of mind to make the kill clean and quick. It didn't turn me into an animal or effect my mind in any way." Siobhan had dealt with it with a rather calm head. She couldn't imagine becoming so obsessed with their blood.

"I was able to let my singer live and although it was hard initially I got over it rather quickly." Tanya hadn't even thought of her singer until it was brought up in the Edward situation.

"How is Edward in dimensions that Edward meets a vampire Isabella and is never exposed to her blood?" Jasper wondered what kind of person Edward was in other dimensions. It may give them a way to understand his thinking.

"Well he isn't that pleasant regardless of the circumstances. Then again that usually coincides with whether Carlisle is around or not. I find that when Carlisle and Edward are around each other that Edward is more entitled, hostile and all around spoiled. The times I have met him when Carlisle hasn't been involved he was decent and I was able to have conversations with most of those without wanted to rip his head off. I'm not always pulled someplace to save Isabella's from Edward. It may happen a lot but not as much as other times. "Isabella told them.

"So it really is Carlisle enabling him that pushes him to the extreme." Rosalie wasn't surprised to hear that as Carlisle and Esme always babied Edward and usually gave into his every whim.

"As is the case with this dimension as well. I hope you all know that I have no plans to let Edward live. Even if we stop him from forming this army I will kill him before I leave. "Isabella wasn't going to deal with getting pulled a third time to that Dimension just to stop Edward again.

"I think we can all agree that is the best option." Tanya wanted to kill him after she found out about her bond with Bella and now wished she had.

"It's the only thing that makes sense." Jasper knew his mate may be upset about it but it had to be done. Edward was a liability. If they stopped him and let him live he would just try again probably bringing the Volturi's attention on them.

"I'm glad we are all on the same page. Do you think anyone other than Carlisle and Esme are going to have a problem with that? "Isabella needed to know what problems she would have to deal with in the future.

Tanya shook her head. "No I can think of no-one who would not see the logic in why we have to kill him."

"Does Edward have a mate?" Jasper asked.

"I have never found Edward with a mate. Then again I have only been around 7 or 8 of them and usually they are focused on their Isabellas. Even the ones that weren't didn't have mates." Isabella told them.

"Damn. There goes that hope. "If they could find Edward's mate Jasper figured that would give Edward some purpose.

"What we need to do now is plan on how to find him. Does he have any allies that he would reach out to? "Rose asked.

"Carlisle keeps us somewhat isolated. The only allies he would have that aren't with us that would actually consider joining him would be ones he never told us about." Rosalie said.

"So that means we are at the starting line with little information." Isabella thought through their options for a moment. "Here's what we will do. We need to send some people to his last known location and search not only where he was staying but the area around it. I think Maggie should be one of the people sent to do that as she can not only question people but she can convince them to be spies for us."

"We will go with her if she has to go. "Siobhan wasn't going to let Maggie go off on her own without protection.

"Of course I wouldn't expect otherwise. "Isabella knew that the four members of the Irish coven would never split up. It was their way no matter what dimension she found them in.

"That means Irina would be going as well." Tanya wasn't sure she liked that idea.

"We will keep Irina safe." Liam promised.

"Thank you." Tanya wasn't happy about it but knew that she could count on Liam and Siobhan to keep her sister safe. Not only because Irina was Maggie's mate but it was obvious the mated couple liked Irina.

"So why they do that we need to search Edward's room here. Anything he left behind could be a clue." Isabella said.

"I can do that." Rosalie volunteered.

"I'll help her as well. "Rose always liked the part of the missions she and Isabella went on when she got go through other people's stuff. She was a natural snoop and liked to know what everyone was up it was fun finding out people's dirty secrets.

Isabella smiled knowing exactly why Rose offered to help. "Thank you Rose. I would like to speak to Alice. She may be able to describe some of the vampires she saw in her vision. If I could identify a few of them it would give us some more leads."

"That's a good idea." Jasper knew Alice would be happy to be able to help. She had been pushing herself hard to try and have visions and Jasper was worried his wife would injury herself somehow.

"What should I do?" Tanya asked. She wanted to be a part of the action. Especially because she felt responsible for the whole mess. It was because she didn't turn Bella that Edward was trying to attack them.

"You're a coven leader so you have the authority to reach out to other covens. Try to find out what gossip is going around. It might not be about Edward but it will probably be the same Edward is hearing. We could use it to maybe predict his moves based on the attitudes in the vampire community. "Isabella told her. "Also you need to not leave Bella alone. I know she is friends with the wolves but I want at least one vampire with her at all times. Are they still ok with you and Rosalie going to the reservation?"

Tanya nodded." I've been a few times since you left."

"Good. We can't chance letting someone get her. I will also spend some time with her to work on her shield." Isabella said.

"Thank you." That made Tanya feel a lot better about this situation. If Bella could use her gift she would be a lot safer.

"I think that's everything." Isabella tried to think of what else needed to be done. "Is there someplace safe to put those boxes."

"My garage would be the best place." Rosalie wondered what was actually in the boxes and hoped that Isabella and Rose would tell her later.

"Good it's imperative no one get their hands on them." Isabella didn't even want to think of the consequences of someone getting their hands on the items inside the boxes.

"They will be safe there. We will just have to threaten Emmett and Kate to keep them away." Rosalie knew her husband would try and sneak into her garage to see what was inside.

"And Carlisle and Eleazar. Tanya added. She to was interested in what was in the boxes but knew that Isabella would only talk to her or Rosalie about it. She would have to have a stern talking to with both the men because it seemed that Isabella wasn't in the mood to put up with the duo. Tanya knew that Rose definitely wasn't.

"Good then let's get going. Hopefully we can stop Edward before he can do to much damage." Isabella hoped that Edward's ego would get the better of him and he would tell his plan to many different people. If he acted like the Edwards she encountered Isabella knew that he would have trouble getting people to follow his lead. She wondered what stories he would tell people to get them to go along with him. It would have to be pretty impressive if someone was willing to fight for him. Isabella honestly didn't care what tale he told. She just wanted it to give them a clue on how to find him. It wasn't often that she got to actually kill Edward and she was looking forward to the chance to take out some of her anger at him for pulling her from her home against her will. Why she would even let Rose help. It wasn't everyday you got to kill someone who annoyed you as much as Edward did and she doubted her friend would ever get the chance again. Isabella sighed knowing Tanya was going to be so jealous when Rose got home and told her about this trip. She would have to figure out a way to make it up to her wife. Maybe if she could now bring people with her on her trips she would take Tanya to the mere people world. It would probably be romantic enough to get least Isabella hoped it would.

"And we have gay porn!"Isabella heard Rose call out from Edward's bedroom where Rose and Rosalie were searching Edward's room trying to find leads. Isabella was in Alice and Jasper's room going over drawings of the vampires Alice had seen in her vision. So far they had little luck on recognizing anyone but Alice was still working on her drawings so there was still a chance they would find something. Irina, Maggie, Siobhan and Liam had left to go to South America, Tanya was making calls to various vampires, Carlisle had locked himself in his office to do who knew what and Emmett and Kate were hanging out with Bella in the living room. Isabella was unsurprised that like her everyone raced to Edward's bedroom after hearing Rose's voice.

"You found porn?" Kate asked excitedly.

Rose held up the magazines she found with her glove covered hand. She learned the hard way that it was smart to cover your hands when searching through people's stuff and never went anywhere with out numerous pairs. "Yup, it seems Eddy boy has a thing for priests."

"Oh man that is epic!" Emmett said laughing.

"How did I not know this?" Alice asked confused. "I would have thought I would have had at least one vision of him looking at this."

"Would you really want to have a vision of Edward looking at porn?" Rosalie knew she wouldn't.

"Good point." Alice shuddered at the thought.

"Anyway besides porn what have you two found?" Isabella asked.

"Other than at least a hundred hand written diaries that are filled with not only Edward's thoughts but the thoughts he heard from others not much." Rose had hoped for something better than some fetish magazines.

"He wrote down all the thoughts he heard?" Isabella thought that could help them.

"Yeah, I wasn't sure what you wanted to do with those. "Rose wanted to read them herself but would defer to Isabella on how to handle something so private.

"I get to read those." Kate would love to learn what dirty secrets Edward had heard over the years.

"None of you are reading them." Isabella shot down that idea right away. "It wouldn't be right and I doubt that you all would like someone else knowing the things you think about."

"Oh man. "Emmett said disappointed on missing out on all the teasing material he would get reading those diaries.

"Wouldn't it be good to read them to search for clues?"Jasper asked.

Isabella nodded."That's why Rose is going to read them."

"Yes!" Rose was the stuff that made this type of mission fun.

"Why does she get to read them?" Kate asked.

"Because she doesn't know the people being written about and she also knows how to keep a secret." Isabella explained.

"Lame." Emmett grumbled.

"Hey guys what have you found out?" Tanya asked as she made her way in to Edward's room and put her arm around her mate.

"Oh nothing much just Edward apparently has a thing for priests." Kate told her.

"What?" Tanya didn't understand what Kate meant.

"Rose found gay priest fetish porn in Edward's stuff."Kate said.

"What the hell?" Tanya didn't expect that. "Does that mean Edward is gay?"

Rose shrugged."I mean it doesn't have to mean that."

"Have you ever encountered any gay Edwards?"Jasper asked Isabella.

"The ones I have encountered weren't romantically involved with anyone. Your Edward was the first." Isabella told them.

"And that isn't really reliable because we all know he was obsessed with his singer not actually in love with Bella."Rosalie wouldn't be that surprised if Edward was gay. His self hatred was well known and if he an extremely religious person was gay it would just make him hate himself worse than he already did. It could be another thing that made him believe he was a soulless monster.

"That homophobic bastard."Tanya growled. Edward had always made comments and wasn't shy to show his disgust when speaking about Tanya being gay. Tanya had been held back many times from tearing his head off when he had tried to quote the Bible telling her even if she weren't a vampire she would definitely be going to hell."He is such a fucking hypocrite."

"You know what we should do?" Emmett asked excitedly. "We should all dress up as nuns and priest when we confront him."

"Oh my god that would be awesome!" Kate was already imagining how Edward would react seeing them all dressed up."Emmett you should wear stockings and high healed shoes instead of pants but still wear the black shirt and white collar."

"That's perfect!I will have to special order the heals though." Emmett figured that because of the size of his feet he would have to order the shoes online. He just hoped they were delivered in time.

Rosalie rolled her eyes at her husband. She thought he was ridiculous but she wasn't going to stop him from dressing of all the plans he could have it wouldn't cause any permanent damage except maybe to everyone's her attention to Tanya she asked."What have you found out?"

Tanya shook off the disturbing thoughts of Emmett dressed up like a drag queen priest."There are rumors going around that the Romanians have been inviting people to their strong hold."

"Who are the Romanians?" Rose asked.

"They were a group of vampires that led our species before the Volturi overthrew them." Alice said.

"Why were they overthrown?" Isabella knew there was story behind it.

"When they were in charge they didn't care if humans knew about us. Their mindset was that humans were simply food and shouldn't be treated like more than just were cruel to not only humans but their subjects as well and when the people finally got fed up with being abused they formed an army to eliminate them. The current kings Aro, Marcus and Caius led the revolt and after defeated they left two of the Romanians alive as a reminder of what happens when you went against them."Japer explained.

"Is it unusual they would seek out people?"Rose asked.

Tanya nodded. "They don't want the Volturi to know that they are would bring the Volturi down on them again."

"If they didn't want people to know how did you find out?I doubt they are advertising." Isabella said.

"The vampire I got the information from is plugged into the seedier sides of life and only heard of the invitations by it was anyone other than her who told me I wouldn't believe it."Tanya told them.

"So these Romanians are now recruiting at about the same time Edward is planning on attacking you can't be a coincidence."Rose looked to Isabella for guidance. "What should we do?"

Isabella thought through their options. "Did your friend know any of the vampires that were meeting with them?"

"I'm not sure but she probably has a couple names."Tanya figured her friend had to have learned about at least one or two people that were involved.

"Good, That's good."Isabella began putting her plan together."Tanya I want you to see if you can find out any of the names of the vampires involved and a location for where they are."

"I can do that."Tanya pulled out her cell phone already sending a message.

"How do you feel about going hunting?"Isabella asked Rose.

Rose perked up at the question."You know how much I love a good chase."

"That's what I thought." Isabella knew she could count on her friend to track someone with her. "Here's what's going to Tanya can get the names of any vampires from her friend and any kind of location for them Rose and myself will go track them we find them Rose will use her gift to interrogate them then turn them into our spies."

"Can I come with you?" Rosalie not only didn't want to be away from Isabella but knew she would learn from her counterpart if she saw her in action.

"Of course." Isabella wasn't going to leave Rosalie behind.

"If you're going I'm going." Emmett wasn't going to let his wife not only go on a dangerous mission without him but he wasn't going to miss out on the fun.

"I want to go." Kate also didn't want to miss out on the action.

"Kate we need you here because of your gift. Emmett I would also like you to stay here because of not only your fighting ability but your gloves.I know everyone wants to be involved but those that are more vulnerable need protecting."Isabella told them.

"I really don't want Rosalie going without me."Emmett said.

Rosalie didn't want to leave her mate behind but understood Isabella's reasoning."I'll be fine and Rose wouldn't let anything happen to me."

"I will not let her out of my sight."Rose promised.

"You need to check I go without hearing from you at least twice a day I'm going after you."Emmett wasn't kidding. If Rosalie didn't check in he would destroy the world to find her.

"Do you think I should go with you?"Tanya asked.

"It would be better for you to stay but I understand you wanting to go."Isabella knew that Tanya wanted to be a part of the action and wouldn't be happy just waiting for something to happen.

"I should stay here with Bella."Tanya wanted to go but didn't want to leave her mate also knew that she would be needed in the leadership role because there was no way that Carlisle should be in charge of anybody.

"Good then Rosalie you should change into more durable clothing and if you have it a jacket like both myself and Rose are wearing."Isabella motioned to the long leather duster she had on. "That way you have a place for the supplies you will need."

"Supplies?What kind of supplies does a vampire need?"Kate asked confused.

"Don't worry about it."Tanya didn't want Kate learning of all the vials that Isabella gave them the last time. She would however ask Rosalie later what Isabella thought important enough for her to carry on her person.

"While we wait for Tanya to get us some names Rose you start going through the diaries. Bring a few with us starting from the most recent. I'm curious of his mindset after he met Bella." Isabella hoped it would give them a clue to how far into the madness Edward had gotten if they knew his mindset.

"I'll go change." Rosalie said as she made her way out of the room. She was beyond excited to actually have the chance to go on a mission with Isabella and Rose. She knew she was going to learn all kinds of new things about her gift and probably about being a vampire in was also excited to see what kind of supplies Isabella deemed necessary for her to have. Maybe if she was lucky they would come out of the cases Isabella and Rose bought with them. Rosalie chastised herself at the thought. This wasn't a situation she should be excited about. It was very serious and she needed to get her head in the game. She was determined to prove her worth to Isabella and acting like Emmett and Kate wasn't going to gain her any respect.

"I can't believe we just took a rowboat across the Pacific Ocean to Japan."Rosalie said as Isabella pulled the boat out of the water onto the had left from Washington state ten hours before and Isabella had rowed the whole way. Rosalie had been worried about getting wet but Isabella used her shield to not only keep them dry but to cut through the storms and stormy waters they were faced with along the was a rather strange way to travel and Rosalie had been surprised that it didn't take a lot longer than she initial suspected it would.

"You're lucky, she usually makes us swim."Rose said checking over her gear to make sure she hadn't lost anything along the way.

"Was the crash really that bad?"Rosalie asked.

"It was all thought we were going to it hadn't been for Isabella's quick thinking we would have."Rose shivered just thinking about the incident. When the plane had caught on fire Rose had kissed Emmett for what she was sure was the last time and then as she turned her attention to Isabella to say her goodbyes, she found her friend was already on her feet headed to the cockpit hands out directing her shield to not only the engines but around the plane was a sight to behold and had shown all of them just how powerful Isabella truly was.

Isabella tucked the boat out of the wasn't expecting to come back for it so she wasn't worried about hiding it to well."I wouldn't have let that happen."

"Well we didn't know you could control your shield as well as you did so we weren't as certain as you were."Rose said.

"Regardless we have a vampire to find."Isabella wanted them to get back on track.

"Do either of you speak Japanese?"Rosalie she didn't she wasn't sure how they were going to speak to the locals.

"We don't need to."Rosalie pulled out a small silver disk and put it on her temple."These are something I came up are universal placed on your temple they send signals to your brain allowing you to understand any language.I synched each of the ones we have to the internet and downloaded all the different dialects available."

Rosalie took the disc out of her jacket pocket and put it one her temple the same way Rose did."That's developed this yourself?"

"I did. It was inspired by Isabella's travels. She is horrible at learning languages so I knew she would need something to help her."Rose told her.

"Now that we are all set we need to go to the town that Tanya told us it's as big of a vampire hangout as she described."Isabella figured if it was like the vampire clubs back home they would be able to find out some useful information.

"It's not my lead."Rose took off followed by Isabella and was night time so even with Isabella's shield they didn't have to worry much about humans seeing they got closer to the place Tanya had told them about each of the trio could smell the familiar scent of vampires."How do you want to play this?"

"Use the blood replenishing liquid to change our eye one is going to trust us if they think we don't drink from humans."Isabella pulled out a vial from her pocket and drank the entire contents.

Rosalie wasn't expecting to feel much of a difference when she drank the liquid but as a sense of overwhelming euphoria overcame her she the thirst and sluggishness she had felt since becoming a vampire had fled and she realized that she felt stronger and more alert."Jesus, that's a rush."

"Usually we don't use the whole vial but we want our eyes to stay this way for a while so we needed the whole thing."Rose looked at her two companions satisfied with the redness of their eyes."I think we are 's our cover story?"

"We are a trio of nomads that are looking to stay out of way it will make people give us warnings and boast about how much tougher they are than us."Isabella told them.

"Even though they aren't"Rose added.

"Even though they aren't."Isabella agreed as she made her way to the steel door on the building they were told wasn't surprised when a security guard met them outside.

"Yeah what do you want?"The burly man asked.

"We are just here for a drink and some company before the sun comes up."Rose said smoothly using her gift to convince the man she was telling the truth.

"Of course come on in."The man stepped out of their way and held the door open for them.

"That was easier than I thought it would be."Rosalie mumbled.

Rose lowered her voice so that only Rosalie could hear her."You are still learning about your you practice enough you won't have to give commands at just have to word things a certain way and force your intent on the person."

"Seriously?"Rosalie asked surprised.

Rose nodded."It will be like second nature once you get the hang of it."

"Let's take that table over there."Isabella said leading the way to an empty table that was far enough away for the illusion of privacy but exposed enough that they were more than likely to be approached.

"Should we order a drink?"Rosalie asked noticing the bar.

"You don't want the type of drink they offer here."Isabella said pointing to the cages of humans against one of the walls.

Rosalie gasped in surprise."That's horrible."

"No it's vampire fact that we sustain on animals doesn't change the fact that our species survives by killing if you notice the tattoos on the humans' arms you will realize they are from prisons. The tattoo could be fake of course but it is much more profitable to sell like the idea of being the bigger predator so when they get the chance to toy with someone who thinks they are tough they enjoy it more than someone who is feeble."Isabella explained."That doesn't mean there aren't many of our kind that like to prey on the innocent it's just in places like this it would make them seem weak to the others."

"Huh."Rosalie hadn't know places like this existed let alone the mentality of the like she expected she was learning a lot more about being a vampire than she ever would have without spending time with Isabella and Rose.

"Incoming at six o'clock."Rose murmured as she saw a blond haired male vampire walking their way.

"Let me lead."Isabella said as the man walked up to their table and took a seat without asking.

"Hello looked like you wanted some company."The man said. It was obvious he thought he was being charming and that the three women were easy was about to give him a rude awakening.

Isabella made a dismissive gesture with her hand as if to shoo the man away."If the company being offered is yours we will have to pass."

"What?"The man asked to confused to be offended.

"I see you have exceptionally bad hearing."Isabella leaned forward and raised her voice."We have no intention of wasting our time with a man like why don't you bother someone who would actually fall for your lame excuse of a pick up line."

The man's cocky smile turned into a frown as his eyes hardened when the rest of the bar started laughing at him."Who the fuck do you think you are to talk to me that way?"

"I am someone who could take off your head before you even had time to blink that's who I am."Isabella told him.

"You jumped up tart.I'm going to kill you."The man made a move to stand but before he could even make it off the chair Isabella had both his arms ripped from his body and a hand around his man's eyes almost bugled out his head and his body began shaking with fear."P..ple…please…do…don't….kill…m..me."

"Oh I'm not going to kill you."Isabella smirked at the obvious relief coming off the man."That would be to I'm going to do is let you live with the shame of being defeated so easily as was witnessed by the entire is a much better punishment."

A random woman who Isabella was sure was security walked up to the man and took his arms from Isabella."I'll take it from here ma' you for not destroying the bar."

"It wasn't the bar that offended me."Isabella told her.

"Well that was time it's my turn though."Rose said as she sat back in her chair with a loved it when Isabella was able to let loose a little that what she did was actually letting lose but it was nice to see the way the other vampires in the room gave them wary glances while others looked at them with more respect.

"Can you teach me how to do that?"Rosalie wasn't sure what to think about the whole had never seen someone remove a vampire's limbs so quickly.

Rose chuckled."I'm sure she can as she trained me and I can do it."

"I'm starting to think you held back a lot when you trained all of us." Rosalie said.

"Of course I I actually trained you as hard as I trained others half of you would have quit while the others would have been pissed at me for hurting their mates so badly."Isabella had felt the group in this dimension was to soft wouldn't have been able to handle proper training.

"I guess that makes sense.I wish you had been able to have more time to train me better though."Rosalie was sure that if they had more time then she would have learned more advanced moves and techniques.

"I would volunteer to train you but I'm not that great at teaching others.I like to fight to much to hold back and don't have the patience to deal with questions."Rose had tried to train some of the guard once and gotten frustrated enough that she pulled one man's tongue out because he wouldn't stop asking question after question.

"Well you have your daggers with you right?"Isabella asked.

Rosalie nodded."Yeah they are on my belt."

"Then I will run through some more moves with you if we have any down would do well for you to learn to fight with one at a time in each hand so it becomes second nature for you to respond if you for some reason drop one."Isabella would like running through some moves with enjoyed spending time with her and anything that could help Rosalie keep herself safe was something that Isabella was willing to help out with.

"It seems we have another taker."Rose said as this time a woman of medium build and tall approached them.

"Hello, may I sit down?"The woman asked.

"Since you asked so nicely who are we to refuse."Isabella motioned to the empty chair at the table the man had vacated.

The woman chuckled."The names Velma.I saw what you did to Dereck and thought I would come over here to thank you on behalf of most of the man has been a thorn in all of our sides since he started showing up about two weeks ago."

"None of us take kindly to jackasses who obviously see us as easy 's just lucky I was the one to deal with twins are even deadlier than I am."Isabella figured calling Rosalie and Rose twins was the easiest way to introduce them.

"Is that right."Velma seemed to be appraising the pair."It's rare that you find vampire course there are the witch twins but I've never seen identical twins before."

"Our sire was the kind of man who liked to collect the unusual."Rose told her.

"Oh yeah like what?"Velma asked.

"I would rather not spread around the kinds of things the man was interested in.I will tell you that it was because of his interests that we took our time killing him."Rose bared her teeth causing Velma to flinch back.

"I what brings the three of you to Japan?"Velma was obviously trying to get information out of them and it was all Isabella could do not to smile at the weak attempt.

"We wanted to find Godzilla."Isabella had brought home a bunch of Japanese Godzilla movies and her family as well as most of her friends had liked them so much that they fought over who got to see them next. It was Kate who brought up that if Isabella ever went back she should try and find the giant lizard.

Velma laughed."I doubt you will find would have better luck finding the lockness monster."

"Maybe we will go hunting for that want to check out some volcanos and a few of the local mountains first though."Rose easily played along even though she had no clue what Velma was talking would look it up later.

"Is that really why you are here?"Velma asked more noticed that most of the bar's occupants were paying attention to their conversation.

"It is part of the know how it is when you are as old as need to find ways to keep from getting we heard about this place we thought we would check in and see what is happening in the three of us are quite isolated so it's been years since we have been around others of our kind."Isabella explained.

"I don't want to be impolite but are the three of you mated?"Velma asked.

"We are."Rose only would it keep others from hitting on them it was a good cover for why they didn't was easy enough to fool people because of how strong her and Isabella's bond was that most people assumed they were anyway.

"Interesting, I wonder if that is common amongst twins?"Velma mused obviously lost in her own thoughts.

"We've never run into any others to know."Rosalie wasn't sure about how she felt about being considered Isabella's mate but she wasn't disgusted enough not to play may not have a romantic bond but if it was even half as strong as Isabella's with Rose nobody would be able to deny the affection the pair had for the brunette.

"So it's seems you are looking for some gossip then?"Velma asked.

"It would be nice to know what is going on so we can stay out of any upcoming battles or stay out of dangerous territory."Rose said.

"Well I can tell you that there are rumors of a powerful vampire in 's said she has the ability to shield other's minds from mental influence."Velma told them.

"Really?"Isabella tried to sound as skeptical as possible.

Velma nodded."Yes, I was told by a friend of mine who was in South America when this vampire who was a telepath went to a bar there bragging about how strong his mate my friend asked him why he wasn't with her he said that she had been kidnapped.I'm not sure how accurate that is but my friend isn't one to tell tall tales."

"I would think if there was a vampire that strong that the Volturi would have taken interest in her."Isabella said.

Velma shrugged."That's another rumor going seems the boy went to them telling them about his situation asking for help and he was turned away."

"I don't someone was that powerful then I would think that many would be fighting over her."Rose wanted the vampire to think they didn't believe her so she would give them more information.

"What I heard was second hand but I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of people would be trying to recruit at least try to bargain with her to get her to shield their minds as well. If it were me I would turn it into a business and charge people through the nose for that powerful could turn the tide of power in the vampire world. It would render most of the Volturi's gifted guard members useless."Velma said.

"You make a good point."Isabella looked to both Rose and Rosalie."What do you think?Should we investigate?I mean maybe the girl would help would be nice to have protection against those that would harm us."

It took Rosalie a moment to understand what Isabella was trying to do."I think we should."

"I agree. It might help us stay safe if we get confronted by any other vampires we run across."Rose said.

"Do you have any information on where to find her?"Isabella asked.

"I don't know exactly but from the research my friend did the vampire he talked to was from Washington state in the animal drinkers to be specific but I don't think that's true as the vampire's eyes were as red as ours."Velma told them.

Rosalie held back a flinch. It seemed Edward had abandoned his principles in his wondered how Carlisle would feel about that."I heard that they were a bit self-righteous.I doubt one of them would actually give up something they thought gave them humanity."

"That's are almost as bad as the ones in Alaska."Rose said.

"How you met them before?"Velma asked.

Isabella nodded."I had a tussle with the leader about oh 600 years ago.I'm not proud to admit I was kneeling before her within minutes of our meeting."

Rose almost choked trying to hold in her it was true Isabella was kneeling before Tanya within minutes of meeting her it was because they had shed their clothing before even speaking to each mate bond was exceptionally strong and Tanya was a very sexual had taken one look at Isabella, picked her up and carried her to the first available private room which was Kate's and they didn't leave for over a month and that was only because they needed to was still pissed about that.

"You ok?"Velma asked giving Rose a weird look.

"Yes, I just remembered the incident. It was quite funny learning that someone as strong as my mate was rendered useless in the presence of the coven because she was an animal drinker."Rose told her.

"If she's that formable I will have to think twice about confronting an animal drinker."Velma said.

"So besides the shield stuff is anything else going on?"Isabella sent a smile at Rose knowing exactly why she and Tanya's coupling had been the stuff of legends amongst most vampires.

Velma lowered her voice so only the three could hear her."I heard something about a few vampires trying to recruit.I don't know who their backers are but I think there may be a war on the what you just showed taking care of Derick and if you are telling the truth about the twins I wouldn't be surprised if someone approaches you."

"Thank you for the warning."Rose said. She wondered if they made enough impression to get the attention of the vampire they were looking for to seek them man hadn't shown up to the bar yet but if he was a regular he would certainly hear about the incident."It's good to know that kind of stuff when you are independent from any faction."

"You three seem like good people.I figure if I hadn't heard of you before and you're as old as I think you are then you spend a lot of time keeping your nose something is coming it would be good to get out of here and make yourselves scarce."Velma told them.

"I think we will take your were excited about visiting others but I don't want to become cannon fodder for some idiots trying to fight for power."Isabella said.

"Yeah I think we will just keep to looking for Godzilla."Rose agreed.

Velma chuckled."Well I'll let the three of you enjoy your you're interested they have better drinks in the just got in two child know how much our kind detest anyone who messes with children so if you want them you will have to act fast."

"We fed on our way here."Isabella told her.

"Enjoy your evening."Velma stood and walked back to her place at the bar where it was obvious the other patrons were asking her what she found out.

Rose lowered her voice."Do you want to get out of here?"

"Yeah, we need to make a plan and contact needs to know that people are searching out might not be able to wait to change her anymore."Isabella would have preferred if Bella had been changed a long time ago but it wasn't her decision to make.

"I didn't even think of that."Rosalie said as she followed the other two out of the didn't like the idea that Bella was in danger to begin with as her bond with the human made her feel protective over Bella. Now it seemed like they all had more to worry about than just Volturi knew about at least Bella's gift. Probably about Isabella as well if Edward had approached did wonder if Edward knew about anything else hadn't been around when Kate and Jasper had learned how to properly use their gifts. He also didn't know Rosalie had one at there was the fact he wasn't around for when the Irish coven arrived or Garrett either. That meant he probably didn't know anything about Maggie's gift and Garrett's stealth would have had to have spies in place to know anything that personal and Rosalie didn't think the wolves would miss something like a vampire scouting around the territory. Especially with the training Isabella had given meant that Edward knew very little about who he was dealing with and that made Rosalie feel a lot better about the the group had been able to so easily take care of the newborns,with Isabella and now Rose's help they would be able to take on any threat that was sure of it.

"So Edward has been spreading rumors of Bella being able to use her shield the same way you do?"Tanya's voice asked coming over the phone had called the coven leader as soon as they were in private with Isabella shielding her and Rose from sight and explaining the situation Tanya was of course upset and now they needed to plan on how to proceed with the new information the trio had been able to get at the bar.

"Yes, he has also been telling people that Bella is his mate and that you have kidnapped her."Isabella told her.

"I'm going to kill that bastard."Tanya growled.

"I will help you."Rose offered.

"Something else was told to us that we haven't confirmed Edward has gone to the Volturi who turned him away."Isabella said.

"For fuck's sake."Tanya cursed."Now we don't only have to deal with Edward, the Romanians and random vampires but the Volturi as well."

"I personally think that Bella is how he is getting people to help he is able to convince others that Bella is actually his mate he is probably promising that once they have Bella she will give the shield to the others."Rose couldn't think of any other way Edward would get others to follow him unless he promised something big in return for the help.

"He probably went straight to the Romanians after the Volturi sent him away."Isabella added.

"It would make sense for him to do that."Rosalie agreed.

"Hopefully that means the Romanians are letting Edward lead the mission to get Bella would limit some of the forces that are coming your way."Isabella was trying to figure out how to help Bella while they were so far away from her.

"I wish no-one was coming our way."Tanya said.

"You may have to start thinking of turning Bella as a newborn I can train her well enough that she would be able to shield would make her much safer than if she was human."Isabella had already shown Bella enough that once she was turned Bella would be able to protect herself.

Tanya sighed."We had wanted to let her have more time with her father but I know that you are right."

"You really don't have time to what I understand Edward has been away from you guys for is a lot of time to tell others about Bella.I wouldn't be surprised if you started getting visitors very soon."If this Edward was like the one Rose knew then he would be telling anyone would listen about how bad he was boy loved to be pitied because when he was Carlisle and Esme babied him and catered to his ever whim.

"How should we deal with them when they come?"Tanya asked.

"As Bella is still human it will obviously be your number one priority to keep her safe no matter try not to lead with you can talk with those that approach you may be able to explain that although Bella can shield her own mind that she is not the vampire they are looking for."Isabella paused as she thought over what she said."Actually it may be a good idea to wait until everyone is back to turn way if challenged you can show that she is that she is Edward's could convince a few of them that Edward is just a vampire who has gone insane due to being kept away from his singer."

"Yeah and if we are there then Isabella can take credit for the shield and explain that not only is Edward not her mate but she isn't a part of your a demonstration it should convince enough people to spread the rumor that Edward was wrong and might keep others from searching you out."Rose said.

"I can also defend myself if someone wishes to resort to violence to get me to comply with their wishes."Isabella could already predict that she was going to be in many tussles in the future.

"When will you be back?"Tanya asked.

"I want to make contact with the vampire you sent us we have interrogated him and get the information we need we will make a plan from you are truly worried about your safety I can send Rose back to help out."Isabella ignored Rose's shake of the head. She knew her friend wouldn't want to leave her but they might have to split up to keep everyone safe.

"I don't want to pull her away from something important so lets wait and see if people actually show can get back quickly if we need her though right?"Tanya asked.

"I can have her be there in less than a day."Isabella told her.

"Then we should be is more important to find out if we have an army coming to our doorstep."Tanya said.

"In the meantime talk to the wolves and ask them to widen their patrol then I said not to kill any of the vampires unless they attack don't need a coven coming after them to avenge one of their Kate and Emmett as point of contact. Maybe even have the pair of them work with the wolves on patrolling."Isabella figured that if a vampire was able to explain that the wolves and their land were off limits then it would lessen the wasn't naive enough to think that it would stop fights from breaking out but it would help keep them to a if the wolves were able to corner a few of them.

"I'll get in touch with Sam."Tanya said.

"Besides that have you heard from the others?"Isabella asked.

"Irina and her group have searched Edward's apartment but it seems like he hasn't been there in a couple knowing that he is drinking human blood and is hanging out in vampire bars it will give them more places to search."Tanya said.

"We should have sent Irina with a vial of the blood replenishing liquid to change her eye color."Rose could have slapped herself for not thinking it would be a problem for Irina to have gold eyes.

"It could be helpful for her to not have red has been claiming he was from an animal drinking people saw that Irina drank from animals then it might make them reach out to her with questions to see if Edward was telling the truth."Rosalie stood up a little straighter when she noticed the look of pride she was getting from may not be as skilled at warfare as the others but Rosalie was a quick learner and she liked the fact that Isabella was noticing her progress.

"Rosalie makes a good point."Isabella agreed."Can you please contact them and explain all that we have learned and inform them of what we plan to do about Bella? Maybe they can squash some of the rumors Edward has been spreading."

Tanya sighed."I'll get on we can undo some of the damage Edward has done."

"Good we will be in touch."Isabella disconnected the call."Now we need to find that vampire."

"What are we going to do when we get him?"Rosalie asked.

"We are going to interrogate he tells us everything we want to know Rose is going to make him forget we talked to him and command him to gather more information and contact us with it."Isabella told her.

"And you trust him to do it?"Rosalie didn't doubt Isabella but she was still getting used to how powerful her gift was.

"Of course because he will be unable to stop death would release him from the command."Rose said.

"Jesus."Rosalie was still unsure if she would ever become as skilled as Rose with her would be happy to even be able to do a tenth of what her counterpart could after Isabella and Rose Rosalie felt grateful that they allowed her to come on the trip with had already been exposed to more things in the day she had been with the pair than she had her entire vampire imagined after this was over she would have a better understanding of how the world worked especially when it came to how to deal with different threats. She was getting real world experience and hoped that because of it her family would finally respect her opinion and treat her as more than just a bitchy blond.

"I think that's the guy."Rose said as she,Isabella and Rosalie watched a brown haired vampire with a goatee walk towards the bar they had man didn't see them as Isabella had them shielded from sight and had been waiting for a couple hours and Rose had been getting beyond annoyed the man took so long to show had hoped that one of the bar patrons would have contacted him to tell him about Rose, Isabella, and Rosalie's visit and he would have shown up earlier looking for was Rose's least favorite part of missions and because this guy had kept them so long she was going to make her displeasure known once they caught him.

"One way to find out."Isabella dropped the shield and yelled out."Hey Johnny."

The Vampire in question turned his attention to the three of them and smiled."Well hello can ole Johnny do for you?"

"Grab him."Isabella said.

Rose moved before Isabella finished speaking and had Johnny in a head lock."Stop squirming you idiot or I'm going to really hurt you."

"What the fuck are you doing?Let me go!"Johnny screeched.

"Nobody can hear you Johnny."Isabella had put up the shield as soon as Rose had made a move towards the man.

"What do you want from me?"Johnny asked as he continued to struggle.

"Oh for fuck's sake."Rose maneuvered Johnny's body around until she finally got a hand around his throat and was able to make eye contact with the man."I want you to stop fighting us."

Johnny's body went limp immediately."What the hell?"

"Good boy."Rose patted the man on the head and grabbed his arm."Where should we take him?"

"That fishing shack we saw on our way here."Isabella thought that was the perfect spot since it was abandoned and there weren't any neighbors for miles.

"Meet you you there."Rose said as she grabbed Johnny, threw him over her shoulder and ran off with him.

"Is she going to hurt him?"Rosalie asked.

Isabella shrugged."It depends on how annoyed she is."

"Oh."Rosalie didn't know how she felt about hurting the man even if he was working with she ran after Isabella and Rose she wondered if she should just go back to quickly dismissed that knew that if she wanted to be seen as a leader within her coven she would have to start being involved in more serious Cullen coven was being targeted and Rosalie wanted to be sitting at the table with the decision makers when hard choices were needed to be couldn't do that if she got queazy over watching an interrogation.

"How do you want to play this?"Rose asked when Isabella and Rosalie caught up with her.

"I think you deserve to be in charge of our guest."Isabella knew that Rose was getting restless so letting her be in charge of questioning Johnny would make her happy.

"Yes!"Rose cheered. She turned to Johnny who was sitting in a rusted metal chair and smiled widely."We are going to have so much fun together."

Hearing Johnny gulp Isabella smiled as well."Just remember he has to be physically able to answer the questions."

"Oh don't worry Johnny here will tell us everything we want to know."Rose motioned Rosalie over."I think this is the perfect time for you to practice with your gift."

Rosalie straightened a bit as she steadied her would not let Rose or Isabella's confidence in her be for up to Rose she asked."What should I do?"

"Well we are going to ask Johnny some questions.I initially was going to compel him to answer but I think it would be better if instead of that we just ask him a question and every time he either refuses to answer or lies to us you compel him to do something."Rose told her.

"I can do that."Rosalie easily knew that she needed to practice with her gift to get as good as Rose was with hers and didn't have many chances to use it.

"Good now Johnny?You know I never it ok to call you Johnny?"Rose asked.

"Who the fuck are you?"It was obvious that Johnny was trying to sound tough but the quiver in his voice gave away his fear.

"Oh man you didn't answer my know what that means."Rose pointed to Rosalie.

Rosalie thought through what she could make the man do and settled on something simple that would get the point the man in the eye she spoke."I want you to bite your right index finger off of your own body."

"What I'm not going to…"Johnny stopped talking as he bit his finger off.

Rose laughed when Johnny started screaming."You aren't going to what Johnny?"

"What the fuck!"Johnny Rose moved close to him again he scrambled backwards."Stay away from me!"

"That hurts my feelings Johnny.I thought we were on the way to being friends."Rose told him.

"I'm not your friend you freak!"Johnny said as he crawled into a corner of the room.

"I guess that means I should stop being friendly."Rose bared her teeth at the man causing him to flinch."Now Johnny if you don't want my more sadistic twin to have a go at you again you are going to answer some questions."

"Fine just keep her away from me."Johnny said.

" question who are you recruiting for?"Rosalie asked.

"I don't know what you are talking about."From the way Johnny suddenly went still they all knew he was lying.

Rosalie didn't even wait to be told she simply grabbed the man's chin,made easier by the fact he couldn't fight her and commanded."I want you to claw your right ear off of your head."

"Please don't make…"Johnny didn't finish yet again when he grabbed his right ear and with his fingers clawed it off of his head.

"Do you want another chance to answer?"Rose asked ignoring the man's was highly impressed with Rosalie's use of her had feared that Rosalie wouldn't have the stomach to do anything that intense but her counterpart was making her beyond proud.

Johnny held his hand to his head as he sobbed."Dimitri, I'm recruiting for a vampire named Dimitri."

"The Volturi guard Dimitri?"Rosalie asked.

Johnny nodded."He is part of a group of us that want to see the Volturi's reign end."

"How well do you know Dimitri?"Rose asked.

When it looked like he wasn't going to answer Rosalie took a step towards him."We were coven mates before he was recruited."

"Who is Dimitri working for?"Rose was trying to figure out how all the piece fit together.

"I don't know. Dimitri reached out to me and asked if I would be willing to recruit other like minded didn't tell me who was in charge."Johnny told them.

"When you find a vampire who do you send them to?"Isabella asked.

"I sent them to a safe house in Finland. From there they are sent to different places depending on their skills and where they are needed."Johnny explained.

Rose turned her attention to Isabella."What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking that we are going to need a map so we can find this place called Finland."Isabella said.

"It's a country in Europe."Rosalie told her.

"Have him give you accurate information about where the safe house is and make him tell you whatever else you want him to.I'm going to call Tanya."Isabella ran a hand over her face."This shit just got even more complicated now that we have a Volturi turn coat involved."

"What should we do with Johnny when we are done with him?"Rose asked.

"Make him forget talking to make him report back any new vampires he recruits and any information on the group's know,the basics."Rose had done this enough times that Isabella knew she would know what to do.

"I'll have Rosalie help me."Rose figured it would be yet another good learning opportunity for Rosalie.

"I don't mind helping."Rosalie would happily help would be good to know how to implant commands like ones that turned others into spies for them.

"Good you guys have fun with that."Isabella walked out of the shack and stopped on the beach next to the took a deep breath and released it slowly trying to calm her trip was turning out to be one of her more complicated she dealt with one threat head on and went with the killer robots there was a clear time it seemed that the one enemy had turned into two and then the two turned into wasn't even counting the random vampires who were going to no doubt show up to get Bella's of which Isabella knew would try using violence to get the girl to she reached for her wouldn't do to wallow. She needed to focus and get this done with because she wanted to get home and that wouldn't happen until everyone was safe.

You know for a place called Finland I expected a lot more know so things with fins could live here."Rose said as she, Isabella and Rosalie staked out a farm that Johnny told them he sent recruits was once again bored because Isabella hadn't let her grab one of the vampires to were just standing around watching and listening. Nothing of interest was being said and Rose wanted to was one of the main reasons that she wasn't in charge of as it was better to be cautious Rose would rather just act and if information wasn't forthcoming she would just use violence or her she would lead with violence if she could.

"You are just upset that I didn't let you wrestle the polar bear."Isabella said.

"It would have been nice."Rose had come across some of the animals when they passed through Russia but Isabella had forbid Rose from hunting them because they were an endangered species.

"I told you that if you are able to travel with me again I would take you to the dimension with you could fight a t-rex."Isabella reminded her.

"True but I've never seen a polar bear before."Rose would like to fight some dinosaurs but hated that she had to pass up the chance to fight a new kind of animal.

"I still find it hard to believe that you travel to all these different places.I mean dinosaurs had been extinct long before humans even 's crazy to think that not only do they exist somewhere else but that you have interacted with them."Rosalie was still hopeful that Isabella would be able to take her on some was going to wait to ask because they still had so many things still to deal and she didn't know if it was actually safe or if Rose would even be able to get home.

"I've seen a lot of crazy things in my travels that you would never even believe."Isabella said.

"Now that I can travel with you I am going to be able to see things for myself."Rose was beyond excited for all the future adventures she and Isabella were going to have.

"My mate will be very upset if you are the only one who will be able to travel with me."Isabella was dreading when they finally were able to go home and Tanya found out that Rose had been able to travel with her."I just hope that everyone realized what happened and doesn't just think we are missing."

Rose winced thinking how bad that would be."I bet they think something bad since we left the boxes unattended."

"What is in the boxes?"Rosalie asked.

"We were sent to set up a new guard things in the boxes were some more vials of different substances like the ones I gave you and Tanya and a few others as of the other stuff was some of the advance technology Rosalie created to help with different needs for the guards to do their jobs better."Isabella explained.

"Like what kind of stuff?"Rosalie could barely hold back her excitement at the idea of seeing some of the stuff Isabella and Rose brought with things that they insisted on Rosalie bringing along on this mission alone were amazing.

"When we get back we will show need to do an inventory of what is missing actually may be able to use some of it to keep everyone people knowing about Bella then you will need the help."Isabella said.

"That's true. I didn't even think about what we actually left that it wouldn't be good if anyone found the other boxes."Rose was now upset with herself for throwing the boxes as she ran at she didn't want her friend to leave but she should have been more careful.

"What's done is done."Isabella perked up when it seemed some of the vampires were leaving."It looks like we finally have something happening."

"Three vampires are should we do?"Rose hoped this meant they could finally make a move.

Isabella watched the three carefully."None of them are who we need."

"Which one do we need?"Rosalie asked.

"We need the oldest vampire here."Isabella told her.

"So how do you want to get those three gone there are only four vampires can easily take care of them."Rose said.

Isabella thought through their didn't know if the vampires were coming back or if any more were hadn't acted yet because she was worried about didn't have the training to help take on that many would be fine turned her attention to Rosalie."How do you feel about going in there to help take out the four of them?"

"I can do it."Rosalie quickly was what she wanted to be apart of when she asked to come with real world experience would help her cement her place in her coven as someone who knew what they were talking 's goal was to be more respected by her own kind and being involved with Isabella would help her earn that respect.

"Ok so how do we go about this?"Rose jumped up and down and stretched her arms motions didn't actually help her body it was just a human habit she brought over with her when she was changed.

"It's important that we do minimum damage to not only the vampires but the house need to be behind no evidence that we were here."Isabella told them.

"Got I still use my daggers?"Rosalie wasn't the greatest with just hand to hand and felt more comfortable using her weapons.

Isabella shook her head."Those would be wounds that couldn't be explained I want you to do is focus on just one vampire and use your gift to forbid them from goal is to subdue them not harm them."

"This is going to be so boring."Rose grumbled.

"Yes it is now you go through the back, me and Rosalie will go through the front."Isabella told her.

"Is she going to be alright?"Rosalie asked as she watched Rose walk towards the back of the house mumbling about how unfair it was that she wasn't allowed to at least maim somebody.

"She'll be Rose is just a little blood had a very violent turning and before she met me she didn't have an outlet for her I trained her and she became a member of the guard she finally had a way to work through some of her her bad guys relaxes her because she gets to be violent towards people who deserve it."Isabella explained.

"That doesn't sound like a very healthy way to deal with emotions."Rosalie said.

"We are 's in our nature to be just figured out a way to turn that instinct into something therapeutic."Isabella motioned to the front door."Come on I can hear her means we only have a few seconds before she goes in there and kills everyone."

Rosalie wasn't sure what to think of had a violent turning as well and had turned her revenge into a bloody, violent killing she really thought about it it was therapeutic to kill those after all these years she still had anger that she kept bottled up from the she would talk to Rose about it had more important things to think about right the fact that Isabella had opened the front door.

"What the fuck!"A male voice yelled.

Rosalie moved quickly and grabbed the first vampire she found which happened to be a dark haired surprise of being attacked confused the vampire enough that Rosalie was able to slam her to the ground with a hand around the vampire's the vampire's chin she forced the woman to make eye contact."I want you to lay there and not move a muscle."

"I got two."Rose said as she led in two male threw them onto the ratty couch.

Isabella dragged a struggling female vampire into the room."Rosalie if you would?"

"Of course."Rosalie once again grabbed the chin of the woman and held eye contact."You will go sit on the couch and not move until you are told otherwise.

"Now that that is out of the 's get started shall we?"Isabella suggested as she moved to stand in front of the oldest vampire.

"Who the hell are you people?"The male asked.

Rose punched him in the jaw."I think you've got the wrong don't ask the questions, we ask the questions."

"You're going to pay for that you bitch."The female on the couch screamed.

"It looks like we got a mated pair."Rose said.

"What is your name?"Isabella asked the he didn't answer she motioned to Rose."Don't leave any scars."

Rose punched him in the face repetitively ignoring his mate's stopped when Isabella put a hand on her arm."To much?"

"No, I just want him to be able to speak."Isabella said."Now tell me who you are or I will unleash her twin on your mate."

The man looked beyond mangled but Isabella could see the defiance in his motioned to Rosalie and as she took a step towards his mate he spoke."Ok,ok, my name is Clark."

"Are you in charge here?"Isabella asked.

"Yes."Clark said.

"Good then you are going to answer my do you work for?"It seemed that Clark was more afraid of his employer than he was Isabella."Rosalie if you would."

"Of course Isabella."Rosalie wasn't to keen on torturing these people but just kept picturing Bella being torn apart by that her sister's safety was on the line she punched the woman as hard as she her arm back to hit her again she stopped when the man shouted.

"Stop,I'll tell you everything just leave her alone."Clark screamed.

"Who do you work for?"Isabella asked again.

"I work for Stephan."Clark told them.

"Who is Stephan?"Isabella asked.

"He is the rightful king and my sire."Clark said.

"You work for the Romanians."Isabella concluded."Where do you send the vampires that come here?"

Clark once again looked like he wasn't going to Rosalie grabbed ahold of his mate's hair he once again shouted."All over the world."

"Do you keep track of where you send them?"Isabella asked.

"Yes, I have a notebook where I keep track of where I send every vampire and what kind of gift they have if they have one."Clark told them.

"Rose search the have Clark get you the make him fix his face."Isabella ordered.

"Sweet."Rose cheered.

"You will give me the notebook and once you do you will heal your you will sit back on the couch and not move again."Rosalie followed him as he got up and led her out of the wondered what they would do also wondered why they had used violence instead of her and Rose using their gifts to make the vampires knew that Isabella had a reason she did everything and wondered why if they were going to make the vampires forget they were there that they even bothered doing anything at would ask Isabella was just one of the many questions she had for her seemed like every time they did something Rosalie walked away with a lot more knowledge but even more questions.
