Chapter 16

I wasn't sure if not remembering going to sleep, made me feel more rested are more tired. Right now I was just confused. I climbed out of bed, surprised to find that Edward wasn't there. I stretched and went and took a quick shower.

I had hoped that the shower would help me relax, but I still felt funny. My joints were sore, and just felt stiff.

Standing under the water soon became too much of a pain. I got out and dried off quickly. I changed into my clothes that Alice had picked out for me, only complaining slightly about how expensive they looked.

Edward was waiting outside the bathroom door for me, with a glass of water and a small white pill. "Here, Carlisle says this will help with the pain."

I downed the pill and the glass of water. "Thanks, I'm not sure what's wrong, I must have slept in wrong position for too long or something."

Edward's eyes and smile turned sympathetic. "It's not because of that."

Oh.

"Come on, you need to eat, it will help." Edward took my hand and we walked out of his room.

When we got to the stairs though, he lifted me into his arms and carried me down them.

"I can take the stairs Edward."

He set me down beside the dining room table. "Not today."

Before I could argue I heard muffled chuckles coming from the end of the table Emmett was sitting at.

He didn't glance up as he tried to get Cissy to eat the cheerios in the bowl in front of her.

I took my seat and glanced around at the group. Rose and Alice were sitting together working over the same laptop. Anna was sitting on Jasper's lap playing solitaire with him.

I took my seat as Esme came in with a plate of my favorite breakfast casserole, for Anna. She smiled at me. "Good, you're up, we weren't sure when you'd get up."

I wasn't sure why, but that worried me. I glanced at Edward beside me. He kissed my cheek then handed me my information box.

I really should have realized what was happening. The aches and pains I was feeling were caused by the transition. My bones were trying to harden up.

I groaned and dug into my breakfast. I wasn't the least bit surprised when a glass of milk was set in front of me. I also realized the pill I had been given wasn't a pain reliever, that wouldn't have worked for this. It had to have been a calcium supplement pill.

"What are we going to do about the bad lady?" Anna asked suddenly.

We all glanced at her.

She blushed almost as deeply as I could, and tried to burry herself in Jasper's embrace.

"How do you know about Victoria, Anna?" Rose asked gently. None of us had let her know that Victoria was the new threat. The others didn't want her to know she was coming back. They didn't want to remind her about what had happened the last time we had dealt with her, and furthermore, James and the Undermining.

Anna snuggled even closer to Jasper. "I feel it. You're all worried about it."

That's new. "Anna, Can you actually feel exactly what we're feeling." Anna powers weren't a true empath, but it looked like they were growing.

Anna shrugged, but shook her head. "It's not the same."

"What's not the same?" Emmett prompted.

Jasper answered for her. "Anna and I have been noticing some changes in her powers. Last night, she knew what was frightening Laurent. She could feel what he was fearing. She was able to since Victoria.

"She couldn't feel his fear like I can, but we think she was able to sense the danger from Victoria, because Laurent was afraid of her."

Jasper shook his head, wonder in his eyes. "The only way I could explain it is she was able to predict the danger because of what she felt."

Anna ducked her head, embarrassed by the attention, which wasn't normal for her. She loved being the center of attention.

"Anna, what else have you sensed, like that?" My guess was right.

Anna lowered her head, she glanced up worriedly from under her long lashes. "My birthday. I noticed the change. I was getting strange danger warnings."

I grimaced, she had been keeping this from me, and I didn't know why. "What sort of danger warnings."

Anna bit her lip. I saw her lips moving but I couldn't hear anything. The Cullens did though because Edward's fist tightened. Surprise and worry appeared on the others' faces, Edward was just angry.

"Anna I didn't hear that." Whatever she had said, I needed to know.

She mumbled again but I still didn't catch it. I sighed and focused solely on my hearing. "Again Anna."

"Grandpa Ray," I finally heard her whisper.

I froze. She was getting danger warnings for Grandpa Ray. And if they came to her the same way she got the warning about Victoria, then it meant someone was fearing him, if I understood it right.

"They get stronger around Duke." Anna said just a little louder.

I remembered Duke's words from the last flight we had been on. "Toby didn't trust Grandpa Ray with everything. There was something that the others on our list knew that he didn't."

I hadn't realize I had spoken out loud.

"That would definitely give me reason to worry about him." Jasper pondered. "If Toby didn't want him to know about it, it's a sign he doesn't trust him fully."

"Any idea, what Toby doesn't want him to know?" Emmett asked me. He had given up on trying to get Cissy to eat her cereal.

I shook my head. "Not a clue. Toby kept a lot of things from me."

"What are we going to do about the bad lady?" Anna tried to change the conversation. It looked like she was going to be like her dad on another fact. She was trying to keep this from me.

"Anna,"

"What are we going to do about the bad lady?!" We were all surprised to hear Anna raise her voice.

Rose brushed at Anna's curls. "We'll take care of that Anna. I don't want you to worry about that."

Anna glared at her. "My Auntie, my job. You can't stop me."

I knew I needed to stop this before it could escalate into something we would all regret. "Anna, no one is going to stop you from helping. But it's not just the two of us anymore. We have more people to help us now."

Anna's glare didn't let up. "They don't want my help."

"And that makes no difference, if it was true. I want your help and that's all that matters."

Anna beamed, before sticking her tongue out at Rose.

Rose turned to me. "Bella, you can't be serious."

"She is too!" Anna climbed off of Jasper's lap and ran around the table to climb onto mine. "We need to plan."

Rose huffed and leaned back in her chair. "I don't think this is a good idea."

"Let me handle it," I hissed quietly so Anna wouldn't hear."

Rose sighed but nodded.

I glanced at the members of the family at the table. Carlisle had to work sadly, so he wouldn't be there to help Esme and me keep the conversation calm. I wasn't sure if even Jasper could control the emotions in the room for very long. It was too much of a sensitive topic.

Jasper thankfully started it off. "Despite the fact we know Victoria is a problem, we can't forget about the Hunters. They are actually here, while we don't know where she is."

"She's not in the state." Alice announced. She glanced into the future. "I, I think she's somewhere down south. She's not alone though. It looks kind of like she has a newborn vampire with her. Maybe a couple months old."

Alice fully joined us in the present. I don't see her coming our way for a little while. She obviously doesn't have any set plans yet though."

"So we watch for her?" Anna asked curiously.

Alice smirked at her. "Yeah, we'll keep an eye out for her, and deal with the Hunters now."

"There's not much more we can do about planning with the Hunters." Emmett grumbled. He was upset that they had seemed to go into hiding, using tools and skills to make themselves practically invisible.

There was definitely new technology that my dad didn't recognize. And we had yet to get a report from the information center, about the items we had been able to collect.

"So that's it?" Anna wasn't happy with the outcome of our planning.

I ruffled her hair. "Sorry kid, we can't really do anything differently. And we can't really plan what to do for when Victoria comes, until we know for sure what's going to happen. But you and Alice are going to keep us posted for when that happens.

Anna seemed happy with that. She climbed down and now happy for some plan raced out of the room to play.

"Bella, I don't want Anna anywhere near the danger." Rose hissed once the little girl was gone.

I nodded my agreement. "I don't either, but you have to remember that Anna isn't a normal human girl. She was raised in the other world by her dad who was high up on the Undermining's Target list. They wanted him gone more than they want me.

"Toby trained Anna to protect herself, and to use her powers to protect others. Mainly me," I regrettably added.

"She knows what she was trained for, before the incident she asked for my ring to be set up so that her powers would work with it. After the incident Carlos was able to set it up for us. Anna wanted to help. Kids from the Rebellion are seriously responsible. You can't change that about her otherwise she wouldn't be Anna."

Rose sighed. She still didn't like it.

"It's not like she doing anything that isn't as dangerous as she's doing now." I reminded her.

"I just see Victoria as more dangerous than the others because she is actually threatening Anna and Cissy." Rose got up. "I'll be back." She took off before anyone could stop her.

I got up to follow but Edward grabbed my wrist. "Give her some time Bella. She still getting used to her role with Anna. She doesn't like that she can't just tell her no. She needs time to think, she knows everything you said is true."

"It's not what she's used to," I summed up.

He nodded.

I sighed, unable to ignore the aches any longer.

"Come on Bella, let's go sit in the living room." Edward led us into the living room. We sat down on the couch and he proceeded to rub my sore arms gently.

The others joined us in the living room and we watched a movie with the girls. Anna talked liked always through the film. She growled at the villain and rooted for the prince excitedly. She tried to warn the princess whenever she was about to do something she shouldn't.

Rose returned at the end of the movie. She gathered Anna in her arms and settled in for the next one.

The house phone started ringing and, Esme went to answer it. Carlisle would have called one of their cell phones, my dad probably would have too, so I wondered who was calling.

Jasper and Emmett jumped up and tore out of the house, with Alice a step behind them.

I glanced at Edward, a silent question on my face.

"Billy called Carlisle who told him to call here since he was at work. It would appear there are some new hunters in La Push. The pack was able to push them to our side, so the others are going after them."

I relaxed against him. "They have to be new, the other Hunters know that we were doing that."

"I don't like it. Sam says that the transitional creature's percentage is at ninety eight percent. It's so close; we're going to see a lot more Hunters aren't we?"

I nodded. "With how rare their power is, it's certain more will show up. Hopefully after the transition is complete the number of Hunters will drop."

Edward scoffed. "You don't think they'll just come after you instead?"

"The more experienced ones won't. They'll leave and hope that the other Hunters won't come after me until I have a higher percentage. That way they can gain more power should they destroy me."

Understanding appeared on his face in a flash. "That's why they waited so long to go after the transitional creature in La Push. They knew he or she was there but they were waiting for a high percentage. So all the Hunters who've attacked you weren't as experienced?"

There was the flaw in my logic. "Well, not exactly. Quite a few of them are, but there are some that are thoughtful in their attack. Instead of going for the bigger prize they go for the prize while it is still safe from the Undermining."

He definitely understood that.

"It should go down," I tried to comfort him. He sighed before burying his nose in my hair.

It would take a little while for him to calm down.

With the transitional creature's percentage so close to reaching a hundred percent, the Hunters started their crazed hunting. This was their true hunting. With their target set, but still unknown, their focus solely became finding the transitional creature.

Charlie spent every evening helping the pack, wanting to protect the person who unknowingly was in danger.

The pack, now at six strong with Quil as the newest member, was still spread thin throughout the reservation. So most of the Cullens and Anna, would go and help them during the day.

Edward refused to let me go near La Push, he wasn't going to give the Hunters a chance to turn and hunt me. With their focus set to hunt, and there being no way to discourage them it was too dangerous for me to go.

So while the others went, I stayed home with Esme and Cissy. Usually Edward or Alice would stay with us, the latter being the most common of the two.

Alice wasn't used to not being able to use her other sight so being near the wolves made it difficult on her. Jasper wasn't too thrilled to letting her fight even with her gift, so he encouraged her to stay with me as often as he could.

I loved Alice, she was my best friend, practically my sister, but I wasn't too fond of the things she considered entertainment. I didn't enjoy Barbie Bella.

While the others got to fight Hunters, let of some steam, I had to endure being a live doll for Alice.

Thankfully Esme would come and save me, by letting Alice and cissy play dress up, something Cissy couldn't get enough of.

They would go play and I would either spend time with Esme, or go listen to music in Edward's room.

I could spend hours listening to his large collection of music, while doing my homework, or just laying on the bed.

Edward usually found me curled up on his couch or laying on the bed when he'd get back.

He'd tell me about how they had managed to catch a few but the others with the new equipment would get away.

I didn't know what we were going to do about those Hunters. Normally Grandpa Ray would be the person we'd send equipment to, to figure out what it was, what it did, and how it was made. But Grandpa Ray was staying away. He said there was something important he was doing, otherwise we could have sent the stuff to him, but he refused to look them over.

It was annoying, and upsetting.

Something else that was upsetting was my transition. The little pains I was feeling weren't constant, but they always seemed to show up now when I woke up, and right before bed.

I grabbed my information box from the side table beside Edward's and my bed. It was now a permanent fixture there, while an extra one was on my side table beside my bed at home.

My head was pounding slightly, but at a rhythm, making it extremely annoying. My skull was hardening slightly, adding to the effect of my brain activity increasing.

The door to the room opened and Edward walked in. He smiled but it shrank away when he saw me rubbing my temple.

He was by my side, and massaging my head a second later. "Esme says dinner will be ready in ten minutes."

I hummed in response. "How did today go?"

"We're still catching new comers but it's practically impossible to catch the ones who just disappear when they see us coming. Even Anna's powers can't find them."

He took the information box from me. "Still under eighty percent, I see."

I laughed. "Seventy nine point two."

He laughed too. We both relaxed, enjoying each other's company.

Edward sighed. "Alice wants to know what our plans are for spring break next week."

"Sleeping in, and spending as much time relaxing as possible."

Edward chuckled softly in my ear.

"What is so funny," I demanded to know.

Edward climbed off the bed, pulling me with him. "Alice is upset that you won't go anywhere for spring break. She was thinking about getting out of the country."

I shook visibly. Knowing Alice she would want to go shopping in the fashion capital of the world.

"Not a chance Alice, I'm staying in the state of Washington this spring break. It is going to be filled with peace and quiet."

If only that had been true.
