A/N: Sorry this took so long, I had writer's block toward the end of the chapter.

Disclaimer: I own a copy of Twilight, it's signed...does that count for anything?

Edward's POV

No sense of self-preservation whatsoever.

It was true, but I wasn't going to argue with her right now, there was not time.

Alice had already pulled out her cell phone and was dialing Jasper.

I pulled out my phone and started to dial Carlisle, he would need to know.

What do you want me to do?

I looked at her, her eyes were blood red, she had taken the contacts out. She was also extremely stressed.

Hunt. It will help, I promise.

What? Are you sure that's all I can do?

Trust me on this, you'll feel better and be of more help after you've hunted.

What if something happens?

I touched my forehead to hers, I'll know.

She nodded and turned to leave, but I stopped her. I kissed her deeply on the lips. Now you can go.

She flew out the door.

I finished dialing Carlisle's number and waited for him to answer.

"Edward? What's wrong?"

"Billy. He's taken Charlie, and if we don't leave and Bella stays behind, they'll kill him. Alice saw a vision of a war between the vampires and the werewolves. It's going to be over Bella. We're going to need all the help we can get."

"I see. I'll call our friends in Alaska, they'll help. Will you call the rest of the family?"

"Yes, Alice and I will take care of it."

"How's Bella reacting to all this?"

"I told her to hunt, I'm hoping she'll feel better after she does."

"Good idea. When is the war going to be?"

"I don't know yet, but it's best that we are ready."

"Yes, it is."

We hung up. Alice was just finishing up with Jasper. "Call Esme." I said to her.

She nodded and began dialing. I dialed Emmett hoping I wasn't disturbing him and Rosalie.

"Hello?" I heard Emmett say, "We're kind of on a tour in Paris right now, what's up?"

"There's going to be a war between the vampires and the werewolves. They want Bella for some reason. They've kidnapped Charlie and are using him as ransom."

"There's going to be a war! When?"

"Not sure, but if you want to be a part of it, you might want to get yourself back in the U.S."

"Right, I'll tell Rose the news and we'll be there as soon as we can get there."

"See you then."

"Bye."

Bella's POV

Rabbits are my new comfort food.

After drinking the blood of about three of them, my mind was clearer, I could relax.

I ran through the woods, trying to sort through my emotions.

First and foremost, there was anger. Anger at Billy for ruining my life. Anger at Billy for turning my almost-perfect world upside down. Anger. Anger bordering the line of hate.

But behind that anger, was curiosity. Wonderment of why Billy wanted me so badly. I knew he wanted more than me just turning away from the Cullen's, he wanted me to turn to him. But what use could I be to him? I was already a vampire, he could not change that. What use was a vampire to a pack of werewolves?

Aside from that, everything else was fear. Fear for Charlie, because the way Billy put it, my actions determined whether or not Charlie lived. That was a scary thought.

Then there was fear for all these vampires putting themselves on the line for me. All because they cared. I snorted at the thought of Rosalie actually caring about me. Just because she apologized and didn't hate me anymore didn't automatically make us best friends. No, she would fight because Emmett would fight.

Then there were all the vampires in Alaska that were going to fight for me and they didn't even know me. I wish they didn't have to, I wish there was a way to prevent them from fighting.

That's when the plot began to form.

It was a pretty simple plot, and it just might work. I might stop this war before it even began.

But Alice had the vision of a war between the werewolves and the vampires. A nagging voice in the back of my head pointed out.

She had the vision before I came up with this idea, I might have changed the future. I thought back.

The nagging voice shut up.

I laughed then, here I was having a conversation with myself while the werewolves and the vampires are getting ready to go to war with each other.

Unless I could stop it.

Having had my fill of rabbits, I ran back to the house to tell Edward and Alice my plan.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I arrived at the house, Edward and Alice were talking, but they stopped when I walked in.

"Feeling better?" Edward asked me.

"Yes," I said, nodding. "So, what are you guys doing?"

"Trying to plan our attack on the werewolves, but we haven't come up with any good ideas." Alice said, glaring daggers at Edward.

"You just don't like my idea." Edward protested.

Men and their egos. Alice thought.

"Hey!"

I stifled laughter. "Well, I had a thought on that," I began.

"Go ahead, it's got to be better than Edward's idea."

"Remind me to ask you about that later." I said, then went on to explain my idea.

"The three of us will drive down to the reservation. Then the two of you will drop me off, alone," I emphasized that word. Edward frowned, but I ignored him and continued.

"I will feign interest in Billy's weird plans, and hopefully he'll present me with valuable information. When all the while, he thinks I'm turning to him, but really, I'm working for you guys, so it'd be like a double agent."

"I love the idea!" Alice exclaimed.

Edward was still frowning. Why can't anyone else do it?

Because I'm the one he wants. This could be one of the instances that the safest place for me is in plain sight.

Edward was still frowning.

"Trust me on this. If this works according to plan, we'll always be a step ahead of them, so it won't really be a war at all. We may not need to fight them!"

"What if he won't let you leave?" Edward asked.

"Then I'll relay the info to you" by doing this.

It's like you're in my head.

I smiled.

But what if something goes wrong?

I touched my forehead to his. You'll know.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We decided that my plan should get underway as soon as possible.

Edward called Carlisle and explained what was going on. Carlisle seemed really pleased that I had come up with that plan, for he too, thought is was an excellent one.

He and Edward discussed some details of what they would be doing while I was with the werewolves. They also found a few things that they could hold over Billy's head if Billy kidnapped me like he did Charlie.

One, they could tell the whole town about werewolves living in La Push just as easily as Billy could tell the whole town that there were vampires living in a mansion in the woods.

Two, we had reason to believe Jacob wasn't entirely on Billy's side. Something told me he wanted to be on the side I was on. And not just because I was on it.

Soon, we were driving down to La Push. The ride took an unbearable amount of time. Regardless of the fact that Edward was driving well over one-hundred.

I sat in the passenger seat, Alice sat in the back.

My Chemical Romance was still playing quietly in the background.

I was contemplating just what I would say to Billy when I got there. I wanted information, I just wasn't sure how to word the questions.

I'm hoping he would believe I was switching sides, it all depended on whether or not he believed me. I hoped Charlie was okay.

Finally, we made it to La Push. Even though I hadn't been to Billy's house since I was fourteen, I easily navigated Edward to his house.

He dropped me off down the street so Billy would not see the car.

Be safe.

I'll try.

He kissed my neck and drove away

I turned and ran down the street to Billy's house.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I rang the doorbell, Billy answered.

"Bella! What an excellent surprise! It's nice to see you," he looked around, "alone." He finished.

I smiled and nodded.

"Do come in,"

For someone who's holding my father as ransom, he's sure acting polite.

I heard laughter and knew it was coming from inside my head. Edward was listening.

"What brings you here?"

"I talked to the Cullen's, I think they're leaving. I'm not going with them."

Please don't take that seriously.

"You've been a very good girl Bella."

He's treating me like a five-year-old!

"I do want to know though, what do you want with me?"

"Nothing, only to turn away from the wrong path."

"You want more, I can tell, you want more than me turning away from the Cullen's. But what good is a vampire to a pack of werewolves?"

"If you are really interested with helping us out, I might just let you know that."

"Oh, I am interested!" I tried to sound sincere.

"Well, you see, if we have a vampire on the werewolves' side, and if the vampires do not know the true loyalty of the vampire, then, the vampire would be able to know all the inner-workings of vampire plans and then proceed to tell the werewolves everything they know."

I could tell he thought a lot about this.

"This vampire is me, right?"

Billy nodded. "Who else is so perfect? You're already inside the inner-workings of them, and if you are truly turning to this side…"

"But then why get rid of the Cullen's? If I were to act as a double agent," I already am working as one, just for the opposite side. "The Cullen's are my only outlet to the vampire world."

I really wondered how much he actually knew about vampires.

"They would be poisoning your mind. With them around, people would question your loyalty."

I nodded in understanding.

"Where's Charlie?" I asked.

"Here, let me take you to him."

He took me underground. He led me to a simple room there with a few pieces of furniture. There was a door on the opposite side. I assumed it was a bathroom.

Charlie sat in a chair not facing us, reading a book. I wondered where he got it.

"Dad!"

"Bella! You shouldn't…" he began, but then stopped when he saw Billy. He looked worried.

"You're going to be staying here with him!" Billy said, pointing to me.

"But I said the Cullen's were leaving! I'm not going with them! I've done everything you've asked!"

"No, you haven't, the Cullen's aren't leaving, and you are not turning to this side. I told you only trivial information. Nothing I have told you will help out in the war. If you even get out to tell anyone."

"Why is there still going to be a war?"

"The Cullen's came on my property, they violated the treaty."

"They never showed up on your property before the treaty was broken!"

"Not all property is land." He said, looking directly at me.

"Oh, am I property now! You can't even consider my dad your friend anymore and yet you consider me property! You're sick Billy Black, just plain sick!"

He ignored me and left.

Help!
