BTW: Might be the last chap. for a few days, need to get caught up on schoolwork from being sick!

But I'll definetly give you a new chapter within a week!

BellaPOV

"Who are they?" Max asked after kissing me on the cheek.

"Oh, just some friends who used to live here."

"I'm sorry to interrupt."

"No," We started walking to his car, "It's fine."

The rain had stopped, but it was still very wet outside.

"I guess we can't go to the beach."

"Yeah, I guess not."

"Do you want to go to my house?" He asked.

"Sure." In the past two weeks, I had never been to his house, I didn't even know where he lived.

He got on the highway and started driving. He got off at an exit I was very familiar with. I was even more surprised when he turned onto the next road, I could see the house that I had spent so much time in, sticking out through the trees.

He pulled into the driveway, "we're here." He said, getting out.

I looked out my window, and looked at the house.

Standing before me was the house. The one I said I was never coming back to. I remembered the night so well, the night Edward broke up with me for good.

I was looking at the Cullen house.

AlicePOV

"Alice, I'm still in love with Bella, I never wanted to leave her." Edward's words surprised me. He had made such it such a big deal, assuring us he was completely over Bella and in love with Jasmine.

"Edward, you went on for days, about how you never wanted to see Bella again." I was completely confused.

"Alice, I'm surprised you never saw it." He looked sad. "I have spent countless days on my own wondering about Bella. But it's better this way."

"What are you talking about?" I was getting frustrated, "You cheated on Bella."

"Yeah. But I regret it."

"Edward, you are very confusing. Tell me what's going on."

"They told me that if I didn't leave her alone, they would kill her." His voice was wavering.

"Who? Who told you that?"

"I don't know." I could have slapped Edward right then.

"Edward tell me NOW!"

"When we got back from Italy, I felt like we were being followed. Then one night, I could hear someone thinking, it was like they were in the room. 'Leave her alone.'" He was driving way too fast, even for me. "'Forget her' another one thought. I didn't understand, so I ignored them. When I met Jasmine, I heard them again. 'She's the one, you will do great things with her. Leave the other one.' It was like they were telling me what to do."

"Edward, I think you're crazy."

"That's what I thought! I ignored them, as much as I could. But one night, I was outside Bella's window, and they thought 'Look how pretty she is. You wouldn't want anything to happen to her would you?' I started looking for them, but I couldn't find them. Whenever something bad happened to Bella, it was them, I just know it."

Edward was actually scaring me. "So that's why you left her? To protect her?"

"Yes." He looked sincere.

"Why did you cheat on her then?" I'd like to see him defend that. "You could have saved her all that pain at least!"

"This is going to sound stupid."

"Oh, trust me, it already does." I was getting even more angry every second.

"I needed a way out. And I needed a reason not to come back."

"You cheated on her, to get away? That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard."

How could he actually expect me to believe this?

EdwardPOV

It sounded stupid even to me.

"Fine, Edward, then why Jasmine?"

"Because they said so."

"EDWARD, enough with the voices, enough with the story, if something like this was actually happening, don't you think I would have known." Alice was mad, that was obvious. "Let me out!" I stopped the car, and watched her run to get in the car with Jasper.

I remembered the night they told me to go to Jasmine. They said being with her was the only way to save Bella. They told me, that after I spent one dayt with Jasmine, I wouldn't want Bella anymore. I guess they were right...

But I didn't have time to worry about that, I had to save Bella. I may love Jasmine, but my heart will always belong to my first love.

AlicePOV

"He is insane." I said, getting into my car next to Jasper.

"What happened?" he was trying to calm me down.

"Edward just told me the most ridiculous story I have ever heard!"

"What did he say?"

"Something about how he was forced to cheat on Bella, to protect her. I think he's just jealous." Jasper had me calmed down.

"We better follow him." Jasper said, trying to figure out where Edward was going.

"He's probably going to the beach. I think he left Jasmine there, but I'm not looking, I could care less right now." I wanted to seem tough, but I did look, and I was right.

JasminePOV

Something was wrong, I just knew it. I was sure Edward was going to see Bella. He hadn't told me much about her, just that he dated her, and broke up with her right before he met me. A million different things ran through my head, all of them unpleasant.

The Cullens had welcomed me with open arms when Edward announced our engagement, but we had already been going out for a few months, so I'm sure he told them all about me. I was weird not meeting them for so long.

The rain had finally stopped, Edward had insisted that I come with him, but I thought it was best if I stayed and walked around on the beach, even if it was raining.

I heard Edward calling my name, and turned around just in time to jump out of the way of the car.

"Sorry." He said as I got in, "I guess I wasn't paying attention."

"That's okay." I leaned in to kiss him, but he pulled away. Did I do something wrong?

We drove in silence, I had no idea where we were going, I could see Alice and Jasper following us. We kept driving. Eventually we came to a crossroad, Edward stopped, I looked behind to see that Alice and Jasper had stopped too.

Edward took a deep breath and kept going.

"Edward, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I just have to see someone."Alice and Jasper stayed where they were. I saw a sign next to the road. It said, "Welcome to La Push"

JacobPOV

Why is he getting so close? I could smell him getting closer, and then he crossed the line. Edward Cullen was in La Push.

I ran through all the ways I could kill him.

But then I smelled something else. It wasn't as bad as Edward's smell, but still not good. Not human. Definitely vampire. But why is it so sweet? Curiosity overtook my rage, until I saw his car.

Getting out of the car, Edward started walking towards me.

"What are you doing..." But before I could finish, I saw the most beautiful person ever. She was getting out of the car. She smelled sweet, like roses, with only a hint of vampire. I couldn't talk, I couldn't move, I was mesmerized.

"I need your help." Edward was saying to me. Nothing registered in my mind until he mentioned Bella.

"What's wrong with Bella?" I was still staring at the girl.

"I need your help...he might hurt her, or he'll change her or something. I don't know what he is capable of."

Edward kept babbling on, about someone hurting Bella, but I didn't care, all I cared about was the beautiful creature standing in front of me.

EdwardPOV

"Jacob, you have to help me!" If anyone cared about Bella as much as I did, it was Jacob. As much as I hated to admit it, I needed Jacob's help.

"Jacob."

He wasn't listening, he was staring at Jasmine, and she was staring at him.

"JACOB!" I yelled.

"What?" He finally looked at me.

"We have to help Bella."

"Edward, Bella doesn't care about you. Go home."

"No, we have to help her."

"Edward, you cheated on her, you broke her heart. Max fixed it. Get over it."

I was about to explain it to him, when I heard Jasmine behind me.

"Edward, you cheated on her?" I had hoped she wouldn't catch that.

"Yes, can we move on to the important stuff now?"

"No! Was I the other woman'?" She looked hurt.

"Jasmine, I'm sorry I didn't tell you. But it isn't like I was married to Bella." I was trying to find a way to make everything right without explaining the whole situation.

"Edward, this is important to me."

"Wait," Jacob said, "Is this Jasmine?"

"Yes, Jacob, Jasmine, Vampire, Werewolf." I said pointing at each of them.

"WE HAVE TO HELP BELLA!" Why was no one listening to me. I saw a tear run down Jasmine's face.

"You broke up with her for me. How do I know you won't do it again."

Before I could say anything, Jasmine ran off.

"Wow, she's beautiful, and smart." Jacob was smiling.

"Jacob, I know you hate me, but Bella really is in trouble."

He looked at me, "Really?"

"Yeah, I wouldn't be here if she wasn't. We have to save her."

The thought was ridiculous, a vampire and a werewolf, working together to save a human...from a merman.

AlicePOV

"What the hell is Edward doing?" He crossed the line into La Push.

"What is he thinking, does he want to get killed?" Jasper just sat there, I knew he wouldn't cross the line, I didn't want him to.

"He must be talking to Jacob." Jasper said finally.

"But why?" Now that Edward was with Jacob, I couldn't see anything.

We sat there, it seemed like hours, until we saw Edward's car coming back.

In the passenger seat, was Jacob.

"What?!?"

We just had to follow them. What else could we do?

BellaPOV

I walked into the house hesitantly. I had said I wouldn't come back, but here I was.

"Mum," Max called out, "Come meet Bella." A middle aged woman came around the corner, she was beautiful and reminded me of Esme, she looked at me and smiled.

"Hello Bella, it's so good to meet you." She hugged me.

"Sorry about her." Max said, pushing his mother out of the room. "She's been waiting to meet you."

Max went over to the table and picked up a piece of paper, it only had one word on it, so large, that I could read it from across the room.

It said, "Wednesday."

No, I though, it's Sunday.

Max looked worried. "Is everything okay?" I asked.

"Yes. Everything will be fine." He smiled at me.

"Bella, I know we just started going out, and that I haven't know you that long...But I really do love you. And I've been keeping a secret from you."

I had heard something of the sorts before, twice. I never would have expected the next part.

MaxPOV

They were getting impatient. They wanted her by Wednesday, giving me only three days.

In three days, I would have to reveal the truth, convince her that she loved me, and change her. And that would be the easy part. I grimaced as I thought of the day I was changed.

Bella was beautiful, and when she spoke, I heard nothing but her. The thought of changing her was revolting.

She seemed uneasy in my house, could she tell what was going on? No, I thought, she's only human.

Only human. And so breakable. And, according to them, needing to be broken.

There would be no easy way to tell her this. I just had to force it out. "Bella, I know we just started going out, and that I haven't know you that long...But I really do love you. And I've been keeping a secret from you."

"Max," She said, she was still smiling, "If you are going to tell me that you are a vampire, or a werewolf, or anything like that, it's okay."This surprised me. What kind of human could say that, and actually mean it.

"Bella, you are very strange." I couldn't figure this girl out.

"I know. But it's really okay."

"Bella, I'm not a vampire, or a werewolf." She laughed.

"Oh, good, I've been down that road before."

"Which one?" I was suddenly curious to know what this girl was talking about.

"Both." Any human boy would probably leave right about now, but I was intrigued, is this the reason they picked her?

"This will be easier than I thought." I took a deep breath. "Bella, I'm a merman."
