A few months later….

We were sitting in a field watching Jasper and the rest of my family show us how to fight and kill newborn vampires. They were coming for Bella for some reason. Sam decided the wolves should help because the threat to everyone.

Bella's thoughts were screaming at me, "This was the place where we first saw James….Victoria's vampires…"

It hit me like a ton of bricks…James…No…James…

I jumped up and darted away from everyone. I phased back to myself and fell to my knees. I curled up into a ball, crying frantically.

James was never coming back! They killed him, and he was never coming back. Bella…all because of Bella. He died all because of the game he loved to play. He didn't even know.

He promised…he promised he'd come back for me. He was gonna turn me and we were gonna get married. We'd go someplace beautiful and live together forever. He'd settle down, quit being nomadic…He promised.

I heard footsteps in the distance.

"James?" I whispered.

"Michelle?" I heard a familiar voice call.

"Oh no! Are you okay?" another familiar voice squeaked.

Esme and Alice dropped down to my side.

"Sweetie what's wrong?" Esme asked caringly.

"I…I'm just really stressed out about this. I'm worried. I don't want anyone to die," I cried, good cover-up.

"Everything's going to be fine," Alice said, "trust me."

"Do you not want to fight?" Esme asked.

"I…I'm afraid I'd lose control…" I whispered.

"You don't have to fight. You can stay with Bella, keep her safe," Alice said.

"Okay," I replied.

I phased back, and we went back to the field. They were finishing up when we arrived. Embry had a worried look that even showed on his wolf face.

Later that night Embry and I talked. We decided that it was time for something we've been holding off doing. Take my mind off James.

"Are you sure you're ready?" Embry asked.

"Yeah," I reassured him.

The love we made that night became a blur in my mind. After a while I didn't even know what I was doing.

-----

It was the day of the fight, the battle, and I was getting ready to go up the mountain where Edward, Bella, and Seth would stay for the fight. Bella talked Edward into staying with her. Jacob was to carry her up to cover her smell so the newborns wouldn't find her.

Seth and I went up together. Jacob, Edward, and Bella were in the tent, and it was snowing. Seth and I were in our wolf form, and the snow didn't even effect us.

"Oh don't you just love that drama?" I thought to Seth.

"Yes! So fun!" he thought back with a laugh.

"I think I'm going to get some rest, wake me if anything bad happens," I thought.

"Okay," Seth replied.

I woke up to the sound of Edward shouting.

"What the? What's going on? How long have I been out?" I thought.

"Jacob!" I heard many voices in my head say.

"Someone's coming," Seth thought, and at the same time, the tent collapsed.

Edward and Bella joined us as two red eyed people came walking up. One of them I knew…Victoria.

She and Edward danced around the area, he trying to protect Bella. He was talking to the newborn, trying to make him realize what she really was.

"She don't love you," Edward said to him, Riley. "She loved someone named James."

In shock, I phased back and dressed in an instant.

"He didn't love her!" I shouted, "He was using her!"

"You!" Victoria snarled.

All eyes were on me. I smirked.

"At last, I finally get to get my hands on you!" I said.

"We'll see about that!" she replied.

Before she could get to me, Edward got her. Seth had Riley. Chunks of cold, hard flesh flied though the air.

Before I knew it, there was a fire blazing. They were burning Victoria and Riley.

"Edward! Why didn't you let me?" I growled.

"I wasn't sure if you could handle it," he replied.

"Of course I could!" I yelled.

"How did she know you?" Bella asked.

"I had a run in with her before," I replied.

"We have to go!" Edward said. "Run home Seth!"

"What's going on?" I asked as Seth ran.

"You too Michelle, go!" Edward demanded.

"What?" I demanded back.

"Go!" Edward yelled.

I phased back and ran to La Push. Jacob's house seemed to be where everyone was, so I ran there. The first sight I had of Jacob made me run even faster.

Seth and I arrived at the same time. We phased and went in the house. They were all surrounding Jacob, wolf Jacob.

"How is he?" I asked.

"Pretty broken up," Sam said. "Dr. Cullen is coming to help."

A while later Carlisle got there and we got Jacob to phase back. Carlisle treated Jacob, and then, he went home.

"Uggh! This is so fucking stupid!" I said after Carlisle drove off.

"What's your fucking problem?" Jacob asked. "I'm the one who's broken!"

"Edward! He wouldn't let me kill that bitch! Uggh!" I growled.

"You knew her?" Sam asked.

"Yes! Kinda," I replied. "It's not fair! You guys go off and kill a bunch of newborns created by that bitch, and I don't get to do shit!"

"You didn't want to go!" Embry said.

"I didn't know it was her though! I was in the right place and everything! But nooo! Edward didn't think I could handle it! Uggh!" I continued to say loudly.

"Aww do you want to go find a vampire to kill baby?" Embry asked.

"Shut up!" I growled.

"What?" Embry asked.

"I'm going home! And no you're not coming Embry!" I said and stormed out the door.
