Disclaimer: I do not own the rights to New Moon or any of the other books in the Saga, they belong to Stephenie Meyer. I do use some phrasing, sentences, and descriptions from the books, though.

Alright everyone, it is finally the chapter I have been waiting for, for so long. It is time to find out who the Transitional creature is. I know some of you have already guessed who it is, and I'm pretty sure the rest of you who haven't told me your thoughts know who it is too.

Either way, if you guessed it correctly or not, it's time to find out the truth.

I am so excited right now. I've wanted for you all to know about this since the last book. Since before you all knew about a transitional creature in La Push.

I would like to dedicate this chapter to the people who I know guessed right. This chapter is for you guys.

Chapter 17

No alarm clock, otherwise known as Edward forcing me to get up ridiculously early. I rolled over and stretched. It was bright out, but I could already tell that it was overcast.

I glanced at my clock, thrilled to see that it was ten o'clock. I had gotten to sleep in. I practically leapt out of bed, with joy.

I hurried to get ready for the day, rushing through my routine simply because I was thrilled to have gotten a few more hours of sleep. I'd look back later on this and realize I was being silly, but I didn't care.

It was spring break, I was going to get one entire week of sleeping in. It probably wouldn't be calm or peaceful, because of the Hunters, but I could deal with them. As far as I was concern, this week was going to go as peacefully as it could.

Once I was downstairs, I could smell something cooking. I followed the delicious scent all the way to the kitchen.

Edward was working at the stove, making me what looked like a restaurant quality omelet.

Anna was playing with her memory game, sitting beside Edward's feet. Cissy was sitting in her high chair, her doll firmly in her hands. I grimaced when I saw how dirty it was. We'd have to be careful or we might accidentally start world war three by trying to take it away to get it cleaned.

With him cooking and the girls playing where they sat, I couldn't help thinking how domestic they looked. In fact it looked too perfect to be true. I got a glimpse of what could have happened if Edward and I were human. It wasn't possible for us to have a family, besides the one we already had. We couldn't have children. It just isn't possible for vampires.

I knew Edward had to know I was standing behind him, but he didn't turn around, not wanting to burn the food, most likely.

I wrapped my arms around him, letting my head rest against his shoulder blade.

"Good morning sleepy head." He carefully flipped the omelet onto a plate before turning to face me.

"That smells wonderful."

His nose wrinkled for a split second before he controlled the urge. "Maybe, to you."

I stood on my tip toes and gave him a quick kiss. "I could have made my own breakfast."

He smiled. "I wanted to, I don't mind the smell."

Edward moved the girls into the dining room while I settled at the table. I took a bite of the omelet and moaned.

"This really isn't fair you know."

Edward chuckled, knowing what I was talking about it. "I'm glad you like it."

"It was perfect," I told him a few minutes later once I had finished the last bite. "Thank you."

Edward snatched the plate from my hands. "Your welcome."

"I love you."

Edward grinned and leaned in to kiss me.

"Ewy" Cissy exclaimed.

We laughed and ignored her cry of disgust.

"So what are the plans for today?" I was hoping for something simple. Maybe taking the girls for some ice cream at some point today, but spending the rest of the day just relaxing. We could do more exciting stuff later in the week.

Before Edward could answer his phone was ringing. He glanced at the name of the caller and sighed. "It's Alice."

I took the phone and answered it. "Alice we'll be there shortly, just be patient."

"Bella, your dad just called Carlisle. Harry Clearwater had a heart attack. He's at the clinic on the reservation. Carlisle is heading there now. He's hoping that he'll be able to help him, but they're keeping him away from other humans so Carlisle can work at a normal speed for us. As of right now it doesn't look good."

She took a breath and continued, making it impossible for me to question her. "That's not the only problem though. Harry's son Seth, he phased into a wolf, but his sister Leah did too. Leah's the transitional creature. Sam said when she phased the sign went crazy. It's chaos right now in La Push. Billy, and Harry's wife Sue has asked if Edward will come and translate for them, so they can try to help Seth, and Leah."

Edward snatched the phone out of my hands. "Alice, come get Bella and the girls. You and Esme can watch them while the rest of us go and help the pack."

"You don't expect me to sit on the sidelines do you? I can help."

Edward ignored me. "I don't want her anywhere near La Push, it's dangerous."

"Edward Leah is my friend, I'm going to go help her." I really hadn't spent much time with Leah, in fact the only interaction I really remembered was that one Saturday that I had been banned from La Push. But we had seemed to get along, so I wanted to be there for her.

Edward growled into the phone. He hung up and pocketed the silver device before turning to me. "Bella, I think it would be best if you stay with Esme."

I had to be stubborn. "No."

His hands curled into fists. "Bella, Leah is the transitional creature. The Hunters won't go after her anymore, she's completed the transition; you'd be the only target."

"What did Alice say?" I had a good feeling that the growl into the phone had been because Alice had seen something.

When he sighed I knew he was right. "She said you were going to be stubborn so I should just take you with me."

I smirked and grabbed the coats for the little girls and me.

Edward wasn't happy as he drove my car to La Push. "Would you consider staying with Esme and the little girls at Emily's house?"

I sighed. "Possibly."

"Possibly you'll consider it, or possibly you'll stay with them?" Edward needed to know.

I didn't want to go to Emily's and he needed to understand that. "I want to help Leah. We're both transitional creatures. I can sympathize with her. I might be the only one who can get her to calm down enough to phase back to a human."

Edward's grip tightened around the wheel and I actual feared for it. "Bella, she's a new wolf, she won't have control; she could very easily hurt you."

"You wouldn't let her, and neither would the pack. Sam would make sure of it." I tried to reason with him.

"That doesn't mean it won't happen," he growled.

I crossed my arms over my chest and slumped in my seat. "It's not like I can't protect myself."

Edward sighed, easing up his iron grip on the steering wheel. "Yes you can, and that's something I need to remember. But you have to realize this is hard for me."

I softened. Of course it was. His need to protect me usually if not always, over powered his mind. He struggled with it, but I had to remember he was trying.

We stopped outside of the Clearwater house.

Rose got Cissy out of the car, while Jasper helped Anna.

We followed them around the house to where everyone was. The pack was just in the tree line. The two new wolves weren't anywhere to be seen.

"What's going on?" I asked Alice quietly.

Alice nodded towards Sam's giant form. "Sam was able to talk Seth and Leah into calming down, but once they were calm they were able to focus on all the thoughts. From my understanding, Leah found out why Sam broke up with her then took off. Seth went after her."

"They're just going to let Seth go after her. They need to find them." I was appalled that no one was doing anything. "How long have they been gone?"

"Only a few minutes," Edward reassured me. "Sam is trying to get them to come back he doesn't want to chase after them in case it frightens them. He's not sure how they will react to everything."

"Leah's really confused about why she phased." Edward stepped around me and headed for Sam. "Sam, if you can get Leah to listen to you, tell her that Bella wants to explain everything to her. She'll see in your mind that Bella will be able to explain this better than any of us."

I was filled with a happiness that excited me. I was so happy that Edward was trying. He was going to let me talk with Leah, which I knew was going against his desire to keep me safe; talking with a powerful wolf.

I waited patiently to find out if Leah would talk with me, but when Edward turned around his face was grim.

"She doesn't want to talk with anyone, Bella."

Well that was upsetting, but I tried to see it from Leah's point of view. She was upset, and more than a little confused. She'd eventually hear from the other wolves' thoughts and find out how much danger she had been in. She would need some time.

Edward's phone rang and he answered it. Whatever was being said on the other end didn't sound good. Everyone, even the wolves seemed to be frozen, focusing on the phone call. I was surprised to say the least since it seemed like the wolves were able to hear the conversation.

"I'll be right there," were the only words Edward spoke before hanging up.

When he hung up, the pack was deeply upset. Sam was trying to get them all to calm down.

"I need to go help Carlisle. Whatever you do, stay with Alice." I watched as Edward speed away in the direction Sam had taken.

I hoped Harry would be alright. He was one of my dad's best friends. I couldn't imagine how hard he would take this. Then there was Harry's wife and children to think about.

Alice grabbed my hand and dragged me towards the car. "Come on Bella. There's nothing we can do here now; not until Leah feels like talking to you. I refuse to let you spend your time worrying, so we're going to go do something fun."

I sighed and climbed into my car. I was surprised when Alice drove us out of Forks.

"Alice, where are we going? I don't Edward wants you to take me out of the area."

Alice waved away my concern. "He did say he didn't care what you did, just as long as you stay with me. So we're going shopping."

I slumped in my seat, exaggerating the movement. "Alice, I'd rather not."

Alice grinned back at me. "Oh, you'll like this shopping Bella. We're going to a book store." The soft little sigh at the end of her words probably wasn't meant for me to hear, but I could tell from it that she wasn't exactly thrilled about book shopping.

I fought for control so I wouldn't ask her to take me clothe shopping just to make her happy. I didn't want to do anything so exhausting this week.

Alice say it anyway. "Oh thank you Bella, I promise you'll have a wonderful time, I'll make sure of it."

I nodded while I tried to fight the grimace that wanted to make itself known. I would endure the trip, just like all the other ones. At least this one I had a trip to the book store to make up for the rest of the torturous trip.

Alice chatted happily about all the different trips she had taken during her previous spring breaks. Paris, New York City, and Milan, where her favorites; and the ones she visited the most. It didn't surprise me that the conversation managed to last all the way to Seattle. In fact with how fast she drove, I had a feeling she would still have tales to tell me on the way back.

Alice parked outside of the store, and I glanced warily out the window.

"You're sure it's okay? I don't Edward getting mad at you."

Alice laughed good naturedly. "It's fine Bella. I don't see any of the Hunters around and there's no sign of Victoria." She winked at me.

I couldn't help laughing at Alice's antics.

We spent a good four hours in the book store looking around. It wasn't until the third hour that Alice realized I wasn't carrying anything.

"Bella, this is shopping you have to buy something. If Edward were here he'd pay for it. In fact he'd probably just pay you back so that it was his money being spent anyway."

I sighed and shuffled back to a stand of books I had thought were interesting.

By the time I was ready to leave Alice had guilt me into buy a total of eight books.

Alice eagerly stuffed our bags in the trunk of my car so we could get to the mall faster.

"Okay Bella, the first thing we will do is get you something to eat. Then we'll stop buy this store which is having a sale, we'll need to get in and get out, so we won't bother trying anything on. I know they'll look perfect on you."

That made me nervous. I sometimes I couldn't help but worry about somethings Alice sees.

She made sure to park under a light post letting me know we wouldn't be leaving until it was dark.

The closer we got to the entrance the more I was dreading it.

Alice's hand grabbed the door handle and my work phone started buzzing. I wasn't expecting any calls today. "Hello."

"Bella, it's Carlos." The urgency in his voice let me know that something was wrong. "There was an incident with one of the partners in Rome."

I grimaced, the only partners we had in Rome were security. "How bad?"

He sighed and I started dreading, knowing. "Really bad Bella. We're talking we could lose them. I'm still trying to figure out what happened, but I promise you I will figure it out."

I glanced over at Alice; she was wary, but she knew I needed to go.

"Which one?"

"The one that works with our servers. Bella, I know what you're doing, but I don't think you should go." Carlos's voice was serious. "With everything that's going on with the other world, I think it would be best to stay in Forks."

"Toby's companies have no link to the other world."

"But that doesn't change the fact that the Undermining can find you when you're out of the state." Carlos seemed determined to not let me go. "Bella, I will go take care of this. You needed to know what was happening, that's why I called. But I can't let you go. Being out of the state is one thing, out of the country is another. Are you even with Edward?"

"No."

He had a point. It would just be Alice and I if we were to go. It would take too much time to go get the others.

"Bella, trust me. Stay in Forks, and I will take care of this. Now, I've done my duty in telling you what happened, but I'm not going to argue with you on this, so I'm going to hang up now."

With that, the phone went dead.

I glanced at Alice. "What do you think Alice?"

Alice checked the future and grimaced. "Carlos won't make it in time. He has too much he has to do before he can leave."

"But the two of us can get on a plane now and go?"

Alice checked the future again. "We can leave now, and the others can meet us in Rome. Everything will work out."

I grabbed Alice's hand quickly. "Then come on let's go."

We rushed back to the car, Alice getting behind the wheel again. She whipped out her phone. "I'll get the tickets, do you have your passport?"

I pulled it out of my purse and showed it to her.

"Good. Call the others and let them know what is going on." She pulled out of the parking lot driving far too fast. I knew she wouldn't be pulled over though, she would make sure of that.

I hit the speed dial for Edward's phone hoping he and Carlisle were done taking care of Harry and he would be alright.

Edward answered on the second ring. "Bella, is everything alright?"

I wish. "Carlos, called. There was an incident with the company in Rome that works on the servers for all three of Toby's companies. Carlos won't get there in time to fix it so Alice and I are going. She's getting our tickets as we speak."

"You'll need to get your own," Alice said, knowing Edward would hear her.

"I don't like this Bella." Edward grumbled over the phone. I could tell from his voice that he wasn't going to argue though. He knew that I need to go and he also knew that the companies didn't have anything to do with the other world. It would be safe for me to go.

"I know, but Alice sees us meeting up with you guys in Rome."

"Who does she see coming?" He asked thoughtfully.

"Right now, I only see you." Alice answered. She parked the car and snatched the phone from me. "Carlisle needs to stay to keep an eye on Harry, but he should be okay. Esme is going to stay to help take care of Cissy while Rose talks with Leah. The two of them are going to strike up a friendship. Emmett won't want to go since Rose is staying, and Jasper is going to stay to continue working with Anna's powers."

Edward said something I wasn't sure, but it sounded like 'pass the phone back Pixie.'

Alice laughed and handed me the phone and led the way into the Airport. "Hurry Bella, we need to move it."

I let Alice drag me around so I could continue to talk with Edward.

"Bella are you there."

"Yeah."

"Bella, you promise me that you do whatever Alice says, and don't leave her side for anything, until I get there."

That was a promise any normal person could make. "I'll try. I have no conscious thoughts of disobeying those orders."

He knew what I meant. "Take care of yourself. I'll meet you in Rome. I love you."

"I love you too."

I felt hollow when I hung up the phone. I had the strangest feeling that things were just going to get.

How right I was.

Author's Note

We're getting close to the ending of Bella's POV. I'm so excited, and thrilled with how this is coming together.

I know I've asked this question for a while now but I'm going to continue to ask it until the chapter we're we know for sure. Who do you think the traitor is? I hope I gave you guys enough information to at least have a guess. And I hope no one is angry with me for purposefully not giving you enough information.

I left hints in Transitionals, for who the traitor is, and there is the information to figure it out in this story, but putting the pieces together is incredibly hard.

For the people who read these Author's notes though, I will tell you that there is a big clue at the end of chapter 38 of Transitionals. It is hidden in plain sight though. But if you want a real good hint to figure it out, read chapter 38 of Transitionals before you read this next chapter.

Look out because the traitor is coming,
