Arriving at the Boarding House, we hopped of the bike and headed inside. Damon was nowhere to be seen so I had to call him.

"Hello, principessa. What can I do for you?" ask Damon.

"Well for starters, you can get your ass over here. We need to talk."

"Don't you mean 'sexy ass'? If you wanted to get me into bed, all you have to do is ask." the idiot responded, smugly.

"Day, I'm being serious. Get at the Boarding House now! We have.." click.

I would have wringed his neck if he hadn't flashed through the front door and to the sofa. He's lucky this is rather an emergency.

"What seems to be the problem? I was busy with Liz."

"Oh nothing. Just the matter of FUCKING COLD ONES IN OUR BACKYARD!" I yelled the last part. He didn't even look surprised. Well this ought to be interesting.

"Do not yell at me princess. I already know about that. That's what I was talking to the sheriff and Charlie about. Mayor Lockwood is letting them stay in town, with the promise of no harm to humans. Apparently, they are bunny munchers just like our dear Stephanie."

"Do the kings know they're here in Mystic Falls?" asks Stefan. Which reminds me, I need to call them.

"Only one way to find out." I said and then pulled out my phone and dialed the Volterra Castle.

"Volterra Castle. Danielle speaking, how may I help you?" the receptionist asked.

"Yes, this is Bella Swan, I need to speak to the Kings, it's urgent."

"Ah, Miss Bella. I'll get them right away. Please hold."

Two minutes later..

"Piccola, to what do we owe the pleasure?" greeted Aro.

"Aro, I just called to ask if you knew of a coven of Cold One's that have recently moved to Virginia."

"Ah, yes. The Cullen's. Do not fret, piccola. The leader is a dear friend of mine. He's over 300 years old and has always been a vegetarian. He is also a remarkable doctor considering he's around blood all the time. Anything else?"

Interesting.

"No, thank you, Aro. I just noticed there were five of them coming to my school today and needed some insight. Thanks again. Give your brothers and the guard my love."

"Will do. It has been my pleasure. Bye piccola."

"Bye, Aro."

We hung up and I looked to Damon and Stefan who were both now sitting on the couch. I know they heard, so they're somewhat relaxed. I, however, am still hesitant. I've never liked the unknown.

"All right, guys. I still think we should keep an eye on them. You both know how hard it is for me to trust off vamps. Especially if I don't know them."

"Agreed," says Damon, "I'm surprised you don't know them. You're pretty popular in the supernatural world."

"One of them did look familiar. He was around 6 foot, blond curly hair just above his shoulders, blue eyes. Ring any bells, Damon?" Stef asks his brother.

"Sounds like Major Jasper Whitlock. I thought he died in the Civil War."

"Apparently not, I'm pretty sure it was him. I wonder if Peter is still around." he thought aloud.

"Peter Whitlock?" I asked.

"Yes, do you know him?" they both asked me.

"Fuck yeah, I know him. Dick is a prankster from hell. Took me forever to get blue dye out of my hair. I met the prick when Reneé and I took a trip to Texas. He has a mate named Charlotte. She's a real sweetheart, but she usually keeps him in line." I remembered.

I always wanted to meet the Major that Peter and Char always talked about. They told me about the southern vamp war that was going on. That Maria bitch was on my shit list.

"Sounds like Peter. He has always been a prankster. Even when we were all human. He use to hide my boots when we were in the Army. I had to peel so many potatoes. It sucked." Damon grumbled. Poor baby.

"Damon, that was over 150 years ago, let it go." says Stef.

"Anyway guys. Peter is also a Cold One. One of only about two dozen that I trust. He calls himself Yoda because of his 'it's not a gift' gift. He says he just know shit. He sees things that are definitely going to happen. Sometimes if I can't find something, he'll text me out of the blue and tell me. Or if something good or bad is going to happen, he'll tell me."

"Cool. Wish I knew shit. I'd love to have a gift like that. Then again, I don't really need it." says Damon.

Just then, Damon's phone beeped, letting him know he had a text. He read it out loud, annoyed.

"Damon Salvatore. Yoda here. Just so you know, it is not a gift. Tell little one to quit calling it that. Or I swear, the next prank will take years to live down." he laughed at the last bit. So not funny. Another beep. "Yes it is funny, Isabella. Quit your whining."

I pulled my phone out and dialed Char. She answered on the first ring.

Hello sug. What has Peter done now?" she asked. She knows me so well.

"Char, can you please smack Peter upside his head? He threatened me and he's being mean." I asked sweetly. I heard a "OW, I'm sorry, I was playing." Yeah right.

"There you go, sweet pea."

"Thank you, Char. You're the best."

"Don't mention it, Bells. Any excuse to hit the fucker." she laughed. I laughed with her.

"Love you, Char."

Love you, too."

I hung up and said, "well that just made my day. There's your proof."

"Well, now I have Peter's number. And don't worry princess, we'll watch over the Cullen's and help keep the town safe. Now Stef. I want you to talk to Jasper, see if you can get any information about his coven. Bella, I want you to steer clear from them for now. We can't have you getting hurt. A lot of people would rather die than see you harmed in any way. That includes Stefan and I." warns Damon.

"He's right, Bella. You're the most important person to us. You keep us grounded. You have since we first met you. You're like our angel. You ARE our angel. You're like a supernatural magnet. People like us are drawn to you, for whatever reason. I've always wondered the reason. But it also doesn't matter to me. You're my best friend. That's what matters."

Damn it, Stef just had to go all deep. Now I'm crying and they both have their arms wrapped around me. I hate crying, I rarely ever do.

"Thanks guys. I still haven't told any of my friends, the one's that don't already know, what you are. And with the off vamps being here, they might find out. So just please be careful. I can't lose you guys either."

"You'll never lose us, principessa. We love you."

I love you guys, too." I smiled.

"All right, enough with the chick flick moment, who wants bourbon?" asks Day.

"You've hung around Jensen too much. I actually better get home. Charlie will be home soon and I have dinner to make. I'll see you guys tomorrow."

Damon laughed and gave me a hug along with Stefan.

"Bye Bells." they said.

I left the Salvatore's and went home. It was almost 6 o'clock. I decided to make lasagna and a tossed salad for dinner. Charlie should be home soon. He hasn't called and told me otherwise.

Dinner was done and Charlie walked into the kitchen when he got home. He hasn't really said anything. I guess he's worried about the newcomers. That makes two of us.

"How was work, Dad?" I asked once we were done eating.

"Been a busy day. I'm guessing Damon told you he talked to me and Liz earlier. I'm worried about those cold one's being here. I thought about calling some old friends and talking with them. They are experts with cold one's. Actually have legends about them and werewolves."

"Well, I called Aro earlier for some insight. He told me their leader was a remarkable doctor. That would be real helpful in a town such as this one. The rest, Damon and Stefan are going to try and dig into. One of them is apparently Major Jasper Whitlock."

"No shit. Damn. I've heard stories about him. Still, I think I'll give Billy a call. You remember him?"

"Yeah the old man in a wheelchair you use to visit and go fishing with. Didn't he have three kids?"

"Yeah, twin daughters and a son. Rebecca, Rachel and Jacob. Jacob is about a year younger than you, but he's always had a crush on you." he said laughing.

"Right, I remember. He's a good kid."

"Yeah he is."

And that was the end of that. I finished doing the dishes and cleaning the kitchen, went upstairs to get my pajamas out.

Went to my bathroom, turned the shower to steaming hot and hopped in. I've been sweaty and sticky since cheer practice and felt disgusting.

Finally done with the shower, I wrapped myself with a towel, brushed my teeth for the night and went to my room to dry my hair and body. Put my pajamas on and went to my closet to pick out another outfit for tomorrow.

I chose a simple red tank top, black skinny jeans, a red belt, red and black high top DC's. For bra and panties, red and black lace. Red might not have been a good color choice, but I didn't care. I'm driving the Impala tomorrow, and want to be more comfortable.

So I took my phone off the nightstand and texted Stefan that he didn't need his helmet and to dress comfortably if he wanted. He responded with an 'okay' and 'thank you'.

I put my phone back on charge, out my clothes on the door knob and went to lay down. It's still a little early, but I'm tired. So I turned off the lights and went to sleep.

DREAM

I was running through the woods, ducking and dodging tree branches as I went. I kept hearing rustling of leaves around me. The rest of the woods was silent. Too silent.

I came to a waterfall and a deep lake. I did the only thing I could think of, I jumped...
