"You're joking, right?" I asked Edward incredulously. "This is absolutely wonderful!"

"I knew it would make you happy. And I told you that you wouldn't be in the spotlight," he murmured back, winding one arm around my waist, leading me down the beach in the dark to where the driftwood fire burned on.

"Oh, I would cry if I could!" I was thrilled. The treaty had been broken; but not in a bad way. There was no treaty. We could all live as normal people, no 'land' or 'territories'.

"You should have seen Jake and Nessie," Edward continued. "I don't think I've ever seen a happier couple."

"I beg to differ," I whispered, smirking.

He chuckled. "Okay, excluding us."

"Mum!" Renesmee screamed. "Did they tell you?!"

She appeared in front of me suddenly, with Jacob running up behind her, happiness painted on his face.

"I did, sweetie. It's absolutely wonderful!"

Her cheeks were tearstained. "I'm so happy."

I hugged her as Edward let go of me to shake Jacob's hand. They spoke quietly as Renesmee and I carried on.

"Wait, you have to introduce me to Olivia," I reminded her.

"Oh, she's wonderful. I'm so happy, oh," she was euphoric, and like me, breathless.

"Livvy!" Renesmee called to one of the dark haired girls sitting on the logs around the fire.

She turned around on the log, and Renesmee waved her over.

"This is my mum," Nessie introduced us.

"Hello, Olivia."

"Hi." She was shy.

Her dark hair was in tangled curls, each lock reaching the middle of her back. She was small, thin and tanned.

"Bella!"

I looked up to the familiar voice. "Seth," I greeted him as he jogged over to us.

"How are you, Bella? You look great." He hugged me, and then retreated a step to hold Olivia. She blushed.

"I'm wonderful and even happier now I heard that the treaty is off," I replied.

"I know, it's fantastic. Especially for Jake and Nessie."

"Bella, I'm going to speak with Sam and Emily. It seems they've some exciting news to share with everyone," Edward murmured before he walked, at human velocity, to the fire where everyone seemed to be situated.

"I'm going to see what happened," Seth said, pulling Olivia with him.

"They're together?" I whispered from the side of my mouth to Nessie.

She nodded. "Yeah, they've been together for a fair while now."

Jacob spoke now. "Olivia is nice, maybe almost nicer than Emily. She's quiet, though." He laughed suddenly, and shook his head. "She puts up with a lot."

I thought about that. More people becoming aware of the mythical creatures that really lurk in the human world.

"You would have no idea how huge the pack has become now because of…well, when all those vampires came here. Leah's not the only girl in on it," he continued. "There's me, Seth, Quil, Seth, Embry, Sam, Paul, Jared, Leah, Brady, Collin… Oh, you really have to meet Tanner. He is unbelievable. Him and his girlfriend, Mandy are so funny. Many's a wolf, by the way. They're absolutely wonderful. And, you've really got to up to date with the news, Bells…" He kept on speaking but I tuned him out, focusing on Alice suddenly. She seemed to waver, falling to the ground, holding her head.

"Alice!" Three voices shouted at one as she screamed.

Jasper was the first one to her side, grabbing her frail arms and holding her close, as Edward and I appeared next to them. The whole group at the bonfire stopped in silence, and everyone crowded around us.

"Something…big," she choked out, quivering. Her whole frame trembled. "There's trouble again…More heartache. Jake…and Nessie."

"Alice," Jasper growled. "What can you see?"

"Wolves," Edward spoke for her. "More than just the La Push pack…"

Murmurs ran through the people, and then Sam hushed them.

"They want…the land." Alice's voice was no longer quivering. She was focused, but her eyes weren't.

"How can you see with us all around?" Jake asked.

"What's wrong with me and Jake?" Nessie asked straight after Jacob had finished talking, alarmed.

Edward shrugged carefully, as if the short drop would break his shoulders. "This is a mystery, but we need to know what Alice's seeing…"

We waited, watching their expressions, and they both gasped.

"Alice?" Edward asked at the same time Alice questioned. "Me?"

"You don't have to leave again, do you?" I asked, panic colouring my tone.

"No, no," Edward glanced at me, his eyes wary and confused. "They most definitely have to stay…"

"What is going on?" Jasper asked, impatiently, through his teeth.

"Jazz," Alice murmured, staring into his eyes. "I… We… Edward?"

She glanced up at him, and Edward looked almost scared. I could see Jasper was concentrating on them, on their moods.

"Nothing is wrong…" he murmured to himself, but then he was worried. "Alice, what is happening? What are you afraid of?"
