Haha. I bet I confused you there, with Victoria. Teehee. Have you forgotten she has a gift?

"It's bugging me, grating me, and twisting me around. Yeah, I'm endlessly caving in, and turning inside out"
Hysteria—Muse

Victoria launched herself at Laurent, a crazed look in her burgundy eyes. I yelled his name in panic, and we all watched in horror as he crouched down, preparing himself for the clash. Victoria's cat-like figure hurtled into Laurent's strong form, knocking him to the ground.

One would think that by now I would have learned to expect the unexpected. However, I apparently had not, for I found myself being shocked again, when suddenly, Jacob threw himself at Victoria, pinning her to the ground, and snarling fiercely.

This power of Laurent's was super handy.

But when I looked over at Laurent, he looked just as surprised as the rest of us. He stood up, the astonishment still plastered across his face. All our eyes glued to the fight before us, as Victoria and Jacob each did their part to try and rip each other to shreds.

It happened so fast then. The vampires and werewolves were suddenly all on the same side, all against Victoria. The werewolves lunged forward, ripping Victoria away from Jacob, and shoving her to the ground. Victoria immediately pounced back up, and lunged at Sam. Emmett and Rosalie exchanged a look, before they both pounced into the fight. Soon, Carmen and Eleazar were in the brawl as well. Victoria was fighting back, but she was losing energy, since there were so many against her.

All of a sudden, she froze, just completely froze, as did the dogs and vampires fighting her. Her arms were stuck to her sides, her legs together, like a solider. Something told me that her opponents were unmoving by choice, though. I could tell Victoria wasn't. She was staring straight at Laurent, fuming angry. Laurent's arms were folding over his chest, and he was smiling smugly.

"What's wrong, Victoria?" he asked, "You stuck?"

Victoria opened her mouth to retort, but then her mouth froze, too, her mouth hanging open, mid word. I rolled my eyes. Laurent was having too much fun with this.

"Cat got your tongue?" he smirked. "Well… dog, rather. You get the idea, don't cha Vicky?"

The unmoving opponents took the opportunity to attack a frozen Victoria. I had to turn around and hide my face in Edward's shoulder, as I couldn't watch as they tore her to shreds, no matter how much I loathed her. His arms automatically went around me, and holding me tightly.

Soon all noise halted. I lifted my head to see Victoria's mangled body lying on the ground. Alice dug through her jacket pocket, and pulled out a small packet of matches, probably left over from when they killed Victoria the first time. I noticed she was wearing the same old blue jacket as that night.

She held up the match, and looked at Laurent. "Would you like to do the honors?"

"I'd love to," Laurent grinned evilly, and stepped forward, taking the match. He struck it against the box, and glowered at the body below him, as he dropped the match on Victoria, setting her aflame.

Victoria was dead, for real this time.

Sam and Edward exchanged a look, before he and the rest of the werewolves vanished into the forest.

"What happens now?" I asked.

"They want us to meet them," He explained. "I read Sam's mind. There's a cabin just passed these trees. They want to discuss the treaty. I think they might be seeing it from our point of view."

"This could be a trap," Tanya pointed out.

"I don't trust them Edward." Jasper said, folding his arms over his chest. "They might have something planned."

Carmen sighed, "But we don't have a choice," she said, "We have to go."

"We just have to be careful," Irina added.

Eleazar nodded. "They may just want to talk," he shrugged, "Or they maybe they have some sort of ulterior motive. They're dogs. God only knows what they could be planning."

Emmett growled. "Damn dogs…" he scowled. "I say we attack them the second we get there, let's not give them the chance to do it first."

"That is why you're not going," Edward hissed. "You stay behind with Bella. Alice, you stay with her too. As a matter of fact, Laurent, you stay as well. If they try something funny, your gift will be a lot more useful here."

Laurent and Alice nodded, but Emmett shot his brother a glare.

"There is no way that I am staying behind," Emmett growled, "I want to be there to fight them." He punched his right palm with his left fist.

"Emmett," Rosalie scoffed, "Just listen to Edward. We can't storm over there, pissed and irrational. We need to approach this situation calmly, and you're definitely not calm."

Emmett groaned. "Fine," he muttered.

"Thank you," Edward and Rosalie chorused.

My fiancé turned to me, a sad smile on his face. "You'll be safe with them, alright?" he placed his hand on the back of my neck, and kissed my forehead. "I'll be back soon," He pulled away, and started to walk off, with Rosalie, Jasper, and the Denali coven in tow.

He paused for a moment to spin around when I called his name. "Yes, Bella?"

"Be safe," I told him, my voice was dripping with concern. He smiled another sad smile, and disappeared into the trees.

I had no idea when, or if, I would see Edward again.
