A/N: Today I'm going to double check previous chapters for errors, so I'm letting you know I'm only posting this chapter today. I finally got my system fixed so I won't have to keep going back to fix it. Let's have some fun shall we?

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Twilight or The Vampire Diaries the each belong to their respective parties. I'm just playing with them.

Chapter 9

Bella pov:

I just had the most restful night of sleep in what seems like forever. At breakfast this morning I found out Damon contacted Bonnie and she was able to make a cold one version of a daylight ring for Jasper. No more sparkles! Jasper is going to enroll with me at school so he can keep an eye on me there and he has also offered to help with my training routine. First day of school was nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be. Nobody really paid attention to the new girl because everyone was staring at Jasper and he ignored everyone but me so that stopped too. It was just me and my brother a very good day indeed. Saturday however not so pleasant.

I wake up to what sounds like a person getting thrown around like a rag doll. I was right. Damon is on the floor with a snapped neck and everyone else is nowhere to be seen. I guess Jasper went hunting. I go to drag Damon to the couch, but something else moved him to a chair and started chaining him to it. Now I'm freaked out. Things do not move on their own unless something supernatural is involved. I rushed to grab my cell and called Jasper. He answered on the first ring.

"Good morning Bella."

"Jasper you have to get home fast. Something snapped Damon's neck and is moving him around the living room, but no one is here." I say as I watch Damon's day light ring being pulled off him. "It's taking off his daylight ring! Please hurry!"

"I'm on my way. Wait for me before you do anything. Five minutes." Then he hangs up.

I run back to Damon and grab his ring from its spot on the floor and try to put it back on him, but something pushes me away. All the sudden the fire iron is being plunged into Damon's stomach and I shout "No!" I try for Damon again, but this time I get pushed back so hard that I land on my arm wrong and pain shoots through it. Just then Jasper comes flying in through the door, sees me on the ground, and rushes to me.

"Bella what happened?" Jasper asks in a panicked voice.

"I tried to put Damon's ring back on, but something pushed me away and I fell on my arm. I think it's broken." I whimper.

"Something else is here. I can feel its emotions. It's focused on revenge, but there is a small amount of remorse." Jasper states as Damon starts to come around.

"Ugh. Oh, you got to be kidding me." Damon looks over and sees Jasper hovering over me cradling my arm. "Bella, are you okay?"

"Her arm is broken, Damon. Something was apparently tossing you around and pushed her when she tried to help you. What ever it is, is vengeful. The remorse I felt gets worse every time we mention Bella's arm, so I guess it's sorry." Jasper stops for a second, "and now there's curiosity towards me. Any enemies that can be invisible Damon?"

"Not that I know of. AHH!" Damon starts, but the curtain opens burning Damon. Jasper grabs the ring from my hands, closes the curtain, puts the ring back on Damon, and removes the binding chains and fire iron at vampire speed. Once Damon gets up and chugs down a blood bag, he comes over and bites his wrist, feeding me his blood to heal me.

"It's a good thing your blood isn't appealing to me Damon." Jasper said.

"Well, I think I know what's going on here. Bonnie had a little experience with a ghost recently and I'm guessing it didn't end right. Mason your supposed to be dead. Stay that way and leave my goddaughter out of it. I'm going to talk to Bonnie, and Alaric I'll be back." Damon says and then takes off.

Jasper and I spent the day training. It was late in the afternoon and we were out in the back-yard sparring when Jasper's phone rings.

"Whitlock here." Jasper answers. As he is listening to who ever called him, Jasper suddenly goes ridged and scans the area. "She's fine right now I've been here all morning." I realize it must be Klaus on the line and if Klaus is calling, he must have felt me being in danger. I start looking around worried that it might be Victoria. I turned around and saw a figure running at vampire speed towards me, and I start panicking, but before it could get to me, I felt a wave of energy flow out of me and it bounced off nothing and went flying into a tree.

"Bloody hell! What was that?" Rebekah's voice sounded over by the tree.

"Well that's new." Jasper said. "Your sister scared Bella and a physical shield manifested and threw Rebekah into a tree. Rebekah is here by the way. We've got Bella covered. Get your stuff done and come back. I'll update you later… Okay no problem." Then Jasper hangs up. That was me?

"A shield? She didn't have that before." Rebekah comments.

"Well she didn't have vampire blood in her system before." Jasper states then turns to me. "This never happened when Damon gave you his blood in the past right?" I just nod. "My guess is the vampire blood is reacting to the cold one venom activating your gift to it's full potential. I always figured if you were turned you would be a physical and mental shield. This just proves it."

"Rebekah I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to. I didn't even know I could-" I start.

"Bella I'm okay no harm done. Now why do you have vampire blood in your system?" She inquires. Jasper and I tell Rebekah the events of this morning and why Damon had to give me his blood. "Well now we need to figure out who is nearby and out to get you, because I felt the spell from the necklace."

Then Jasper speaks, "Rebekah can you stay here with Bella? I'm going to run a perimeter. Bella call Damon and fill him in." After Rebekah confirms she's staying with me Jasper takes off at vampire speed. My brain is slightly frazzled from the shock of the shield.

"Let's go inside, Bella it's getting dark out and being in the open is not a good thing. Tell me about this shield. Were you able to tell when it happened?" Rebekah asks.

"I was panicking, and I felt this energy rush out of me. It's never happened before. I can never tell my mental shield is there, but it's always on." I tell her honestly.

"Well it will certainly be helpful considering the circumstances at the moment." She stops for a second. "Call Damon." I call Damon, but he doesn't answer. I really hope that dead guy hasn't hurt him.

Jasper comes flying in the door, "We got a problem." He looks at me with a serious face. "James is back." All the sudden I'm back in the ballet studio staring at red eyes. I'm trying to stay calm, but all I feel is fire. My chest hurts and I'm getting dizzy, but then I'm quickly enveloped in a blanket of calm and protectiveness. Jasper moves into my view. "Stay with me Bella. I'm not going to let him get you. I promise, but we need to move."

"We're running again?" I ask him.

"No. We're taking the fight to him this time. I wanted to do that last time, but Carlisle wanted Edward to take point." He then turns to address Rebekah. "James is a tracker that hunted Bella last year in Forks. He is sadistic and once he locks into to his prey he can't be stopped unless you kill him, which I did, so my being here probably won't help things."

"How exactly are we supposed to fight what we can't see?" Rebekah asks just as Bonnie and Caroline come walking in the house.

"You can see them now." Caroline informs us. "Who is your blast from the past?"

"A cold one who wants Bella dead." Jasper says. "We could use some back up. I can handle James alone, but I wouldn't put it past him to find a way to not come alone."

"I need to stay with Bonnie, but I'll call Stefan. You're in luck his friend is back from the dead and let's just say she can be pretty kick ass." Caroline states and walks away to call Stefan. My life has just turned into night of the living dead. This is crazy.

"We are here to fix the problem. You guys go ahead and do what you need to. I'll get it taken care of quickly." Bonnie tells us just as Caroline, Stefan, and a pretty blonde come in.

"If Jasper says we need to move then we must go now. I can feel him closing in on Bella. The spell on the crest makes it feel like a chill in our bones that only gets colder the closer the danger is, so let's go." Rebekah says.

"Stefan, carry Bella. I'll take point, everyone surround Stefan and I'll explain on the way. Let's move." Jasper orders. I can see the soldier in him standing out and can tell this is his element. Without a word Stefan scoops me up on his back, Rebekah and the new girl fall in, and we're off at vampire speed. I just close my eyes and hear Jasper talking to everyone at vampire speed. Before I knew it, we were in a large clearing and Stefan sets me down right in the middle of it. I'm still struggling to comprehend James is back and I'm terrified. Sure, I've been training, and I've been getting good, but that's for original vampires. I don't want anyone to get hurt because of me. Again, I'm surrounded in a wave of calm.

"Thanks Jasper." I say sincerely.

The pretty blonde that came with Stefan walks over to me while everyone spaces out around me. "Cold ones, huh? I'm Lexi."

"Bella and yeah. Sorry to get you involved in this." I tell her.

"Don't worry about it. Cold ones are fun and your important to Stefan, so that means your important to me. We'll get this taken care of no sweat." Lexi says in a comforting voice.

"Since when am I important to Stefan? I've barely talked to the guy."

"You have done what's he's been trying to do for decades. You gave Damon a piece of his humanity back and because of that he's grateful. Stefan has been trying to give you your space, but he wants the chance to get to know you. Give him a chance. I don't condone what he did but look at it from his point of view. Face eternity alone or have your brother with you. Think about it." Lexi pats me on the shoulder and joins Stefan.

Jasper walks over to me and looks me in the eyes, "Bella no matter what do not get involved. I learned my lesson from last time. None of the self-sacrificing this time. We're vampires we'll be fine. Do you understand me?"

"Don't get involved got it." I confirm as he straightens out and every vampire snaps their head to one side of the clearing.

"Good, because he's here and he's not alone." He says and walks to stand in front of the group. "Getting killed by me once wasn't enough you have to come back for more?" Jasper taunts as I see history repeat itself and James, Victoria, Laurent followed by two others I've never met, a man and woman, step from out of the tree line. We're out numbered. James's eyes are trained on Jasper and coal black with fury, Victoria is solely focused on me, and the others are focused on the rest of our group. Jasper snorts, "A newborn really? Do you not know who I am at all? And Irina do you really want to do this?"

Irina was beautiful, but her golden eyes held nothing but anger. "My mate was murdered because of this useless human Jasper. I'm going to avenge him, and this is as good a chance as any." Her melodic voice rang out.

While they were talking James tilts his head and looks at me, "Hey Bella. Ready to finish our little game?"

Stefan darts in front of me, gets in a defensive crouch and growls out, "You will not lay a hand on her." I know he's here to protect me, but I'm shocked by the conviction in his voice. Then everyone goes silent waiting for someone to make the first move.

All four except Victoria lunge forward at the same time. Jasper starts fighting James, Stefan takes Laurent, Rebekah and the newborn, and Lexi and Irina. It sounds like cannons going off and everyone is moving so fast I can't keep up. I'm worried that everyone is going to get hurt. This is all my fault.

Victoria starts heading for me while everyone is distracted. I feel my shield come out colliding with Victoria. She just gets up and walks just to the edge of my shield. "I'll be back for you Bella. Don't forget me." She blows me a kiss and runs off.

I look over to the fight and see the newborn lost his arm and is losing fast. Irina is missing a chunk from her shoulder, and Jasper and James are still going strong, but Stefan is struggling. Stefan defended me. He's fighting for his life to protect me. Everyone is fighting for me. This is too much. They can die. I feel a pressure building in my head and I try to shake it off, but it only gets worse. I see Laurent is about to bite Stefan and something snaps within me. "NO!" I shout as a blast of energy races out of me towards the fight. I watch as James, Laurent, Irina, and the newborn suddenly turn into ash. Then everything goes black.

A/N: So that just happened. Thanks for reading and please review! I'll post again soon. You know how I get excited.
