Bella was sobbing in Jacobs arms. They were in her room. She didn't want to be around the pack at the moment sobbing uncontrollably. Jacob didn't want her to leave the reservation but he had no choice. She wasn't going to change her mind and he couldn't say no to her. So Sam told him to take her home and not let her out of his sight.
"Jake I don't want them back." Bella said as she picked up her head.
"None of us do." Jacob said trying not to put too much venom in his words.
"Can't you do anything?" Bella asked wanting to know if there was some sort of loophole.
"No, Sam is the leader of the pack so he decides." Jacob said now regretting never taking his rightful place as Alpha.
"I wish you were Alpha." Bella said as she held him.
"Right now so do I." Jacob said wishing he was. He would make it so that they could never return.
Bella stayed with Jacob on her bed sobbing. She didn't want to get up. She just wanted the world to stop moving. She wanted to never see HIM again. She knew if he got near her she would eventually cave and forgive him. It would hurt but her heart would betray her. Edward would take the remaining pieces of her heart.
"Will you be able to see them again?" Jacob asked but he really meant just Edward.
"I don't think so. They hurt me. Edwards's betrayal was unforgiveable and Emmett treated me like a baby sister. I can't just forgive and forget. That hurt to the core and Alice said she was my best friend and sister. The only ones I can't blame much are Jasper and Rosalie. Everyone else I don't think I can." Bella said.
"I want to know why those two but at the same time I don't." Jake said thinking about it.
"I don't want him near me. I don't believe their story of coming to protect me." Bella said as she looked outside.
"Oh no!" Bella said.
Jake sat up looking out the window wondering what he missed.
"What is it?"
"Jake the treaty line. My house is on the boundary. He will come into my room. I don't want him to!" Bella said remembering when he admitted to watching her sleep.
"We won't allow that. I don't know how but we will make it against the law for them to cross into your house." Jake said clutching Bella.
"Please talk to the guys. Make sure Paul and Seth are there. They will back you up just in case Sam puts up a fight. Tell the Cullen's that I requested it. That they should keep Edward far away from me. Even in school. That it's because of what happened and what's happening. Please Jake." Bella said frantically quickly spilling the words from her lips.
"I will, Bella calm down you are going to make yourself pass out." Jake said trying to calm her.
Bella nodded in reply. She just placed her head back on his chest and began to breathe in deeply. She really needed to calm down.

Later that afternoon when Charlie finally came home and another wolf came to replace Jacob outside of Bella's house did Jake finally have a chance to go and speak to Sam. But first he made sure to have Paul and Seth. Bella was right, they would help make his case.
As expected the talk wasn't easy. It actually attracted a few other wolves that were nearby. Everyone agreed that the boundary line should be temporarily changed to include the Swan's land. No one wanted Bella to go back to the leeches. But they knew that they also needed the leeches to a degree. Something no one was willing to say out loud. They had knowledge they needed to better understand what they are up against and right now they would just have to grin and bear them.
"Fine. I will call Carlisle and tell him they can return with a few changes to the treaty." Sam said finally giving in to reason. He hated to be the one making decisions.
"Thanks Sam." Jacob said. He felt better knowing Bella would be better protected.

Carlisle hung up the phone with Sam and sat down. He knew Bella wouldn't like the fact that they were returning but this was a surprise. Sam told him Bella herself requested the treaty line be changed to cover her house so no one would bother her. He could understand that since he knew Edward spent all of his time with her. But he wasn't expecting her to ask that none of his children return to school with her. She wanted to be left alone as much as possible and have no contact with them at all.
Carlisle hated it but he did understand. He had come to care and think of her as a daughter and the first thing he does is leave her. He and his family put her in danger and she didn't want to see them. It was understandable. Now all he had to do was break the news to his family.

"Well?" Marcus asked as his brothers returned to his study.
"They know." Caius said as he took a seat.
"It would seem the majority are thrilled with the news." Aro said with a brilliant smile to his brother.
"Good. When will we leave? And what will we do exactly when we get there?" Marcus asked as he took the seat behind his desk.
"We should arrive in the Seattle area first and send a few of the guards to judge just how badly things have gotten. Then we should drop in on our old friend Carlisle. No need to tell him of our journey since his seer will most likely tell him." Aro said not liking what else they needed to discuss.
"And then what? Kill him and his coven?" Caius asked a little too eagerly.
Marcus didn't disagree. He liked Carlisle but if his son had anything to do with hurting his daughter then he would light him on fire himself.
"I don't know. We have to make sure it was them who betrayed our secret and why. Then we have to take into consideration that if they had killed her then we would have never found out about her." Aro said trying to find leniency for his friend.
Marcus thought of that. It was true that if Carlisle had carried out the law then his daughter would either be turned or dead. Either way she was clear on not wanting to change so then she would have been killed.
"Then in a way it may have been a good thing he didn't carry out the law. Not to mention that she is close to the wolves. She could have known about them before she knew of vampires and thus they didn't break the law." Marcus said thinking of every scenario he could.
If his daughter had been in a relationship with the Cullen family then killing them would more than likely push her away from him. He didn't want that. She seemed to want to keep the peace when he saw her. He didn't want to say or do anything to make her hate him.
"We will find out the truth soon enough and then we will decide what to do. Besides, our future Princess might have something in mind for them if they are guilty. She should have a say in what we do to them." Aro said as he looked at his brothers.
"Agreed." Caius said a little disappointed he had to wait on killing Carlisle.
Marcus simply nodded his head and looked onto the horizon eagerly. He could feel the pull in her direction and was eager to see her again. Soon we will be together child. He thought.

The Cullen's returned to Forks towards late May. The wolves met them on neutral territory to make sure they were clear on the rules of their return and any violation would result in their expulsion from the land. Bella had made sure to tell Sam to alpha order everyone to not think of the 'situation' hey had experienced almost two months prior. She knew they would not react to it well.
The family had already been told of the rules and Rosalie was the only one very happy with them. She preferred to stay away from Bella this time around. She just hoped her idiot brother would do the same. Jasper was still uneasy with leaving her alive but since they were back he could feel better. Edward and Emmett were the biggest problem. They had both hoped to see her there but were disappointed to not find her. They were both reluctant to stay away from her but had agreed to since it would mean more harm to her from what they had already cost her.
The rest of May was spent with the Cullen's and the wolves slightly cooperating. The Cullen's mostly fanned out to areas the wolves couldn't hide in and used their resources to find out what was happening in Seattle. The reluctant alliance was rocky at best but they all decided to work together to protect Bella and the cities from the new vampires.
Jasper had come to the conclusion of a newborn army being responsible. The pack wasn't happy to learn of the enhanced abilities and drastic numbers being estimated causing the destruction. Bella wasn't happy either since June was about to start and her father decided to go ahead and go to Seattle after her graduation. It took the pack to stop her from running to Seattle herself to stop Victoria.

The three kings had decided. They were all going to Seattle to investigate. The wives would stay behind with some of the upper guard and the rest of the lower guard to protect them. They had all been informed to keep their thoughts and knowledge of the girl and her connection to the kings' secret. They didn't want the Cullen's to try and use it against them. Alec and Jane were eager to go, the latter being more enthusiastic.
"Do you think the seer has seen us coming yet?" Caius asked Aro.
"I don't know but we must take care of this situation soon. The army is attracting too much attention. The government is about to intervene with their armed forces if things keep getting worse." Aro said. You don't live for over 3000 years without gathering enough money and power to have a hand in everything.
"We must hurry. She is in pain again." Marcus said focusing his bond to his daughter. He wanted to protect her. His inner beast had awoken again with the knowledge of a threat to his child. She brought him back to life.
"Time to meet our Princess." Aro said as he, his brothers and the guard boarded a larger private plane to get to Seattle.

"They're coming!" Alice said as her vision finished.
"Who?" Jasper asked.
"The Volturi." Edward said as he replayed the vision over and over in his mind.
"Why?" Carlisle asked
"They are going to Seattle to take care of the newborns. Then they will come here." Alice said.
The family stayed quiet. Edward wanted to run to Bella and run away with her but he couldn't get near her without making more of a mess.
"We are screwed." Rosalie said breaking the silence in the room.
"I don't know. No future has been decided." Alice said as Jasper sent out calming waves.
"Yeah but that will change when Aro looks into our memories and sees that a human was left alive with knowledge of our existence. Then he will have her killed with us and the wolves if they try to protect her." Rosalie said as she paced out of anger and fear.
"We don't know that." Carlisle said as Esme held onto him.
Rosalie was about to say something when Emmett touched her shoulder. She simply tensed and ran out with Emmett following after her. The rest of the family simply stood in their living room. Their fate sealed.
This wasn't my best but I needed to update. Hope it's not too much of a disappointment.
