Bella, Alec and Jane went to the field to start the game. They all could feel that the Cullens were planning something, or at least some of the Cullens were planning something. Bella was nervous that something would happen to Alec and Jane, but she didn't want to make it obvious that she was worried. Jane parked the car beside one of the Cullen's cars and the three got out. Alec got a hold of Bella's hand and walked with her to greet the Cullens.

"Hello Carsile," Alec and Jane said at the same time, Bella stayed in the background looking at the field and the other Cullens.

"Hello, we're happy that you accepted our invitation to join us," Carsile said politely. Bella looked at the other Cullens. They had a strange looks on their face. Bella studied them out of the corner of their eyes, she soon recognized the look. I t was betrayal, they were planning something, and whatever they were planning wasn't a good thing. Bella held back a shiver and put her attention back to what Carsile and Alec were discussing. The game was about to begin, Alec kissed Bella softly and murmured an I love you in her ear low in enough so only she would hear him. Bella smiled and watched him go off. Bella knew better when she saw Alec and Jane, they had come to the same conclusion she did, and they were planning something. Bella knew Carsile and Esme had no clue, but everyone else was planning something.

Edward walked to stand beside Bella, "Your boyfriend is good player."

"Yeah he is," Bella said keeping he eyes away from Edward's face. Bella knew that would ever Alec and Jane were planning Edward would never know.

"Do you love him?" Edward asked.

"Immensely," Bella said smiling because she knew Alec had heard.

"Why him though," Edward asked.

Bella smiled, "In simple words, he's my other half."

Edward let out a small growl of jealousy but made sure no one heard, "You would've been better with me."

Bella sighed, "Edward, the only reason you feel any attraction to me, is because you can't read my mind. Answer me this, what's my middle name?"

Edward paused and thought for a second, "What does that have to do with anything?"

Bella smiled, "It just proves that you literally don't know anything about me. Edward, just think for a second, are you actually attracted to me or are you just curious as to what I'm thinking."

Edward thought for a second and left to go back to the game. Bella sighed; this wasn't going to end well today. Alec and Jane had something planned but wouldn't tell her what it was. Bella was pulled out of her thoughts by Alec standing in front of her protectively. Bella saw three figures walking towards her, this was it, they had told these nomads to come. They knew Bella was here, and if the nomads killed Bella, it wouldn't be blamed on them. Bella's mind connected all the dots and she looked over at Rosalie who surely had a smirk on her face.

Bella could faintly hear the voices of Carsile and one of the nomads. Hopefully for Bella they wouldn't notice that she's a human. Bella thought too quickly, the wind swopped in and Bella's hair went flying, and they caught her scent.

Bella could hear the blonde nomad sniff the air and look in Bella's direction. "I see you brought a to go snack." One of the nomads said. He tried launching himself at Bella but Jane had him crouching on the ground in pain. The redheaded girl launched at Jane, but Alec had her pinned to the ground in a minute. The third nomad had ran away and was soon gone. This seemed to catch Bella's attention, Alec would never let him go, he must've known.

"Dispose of them?" Jane asked Alec. Alec nodded, he knew he would go after Bella if he didn't die, and the anger in him for coming after his mate was growing. Alec smiled and used his power on Victoria knocking her senseless, he did the same to James and Jane ripped their heads off quickly. Alec handed Jane a lighter and Jane lit the bodies into flames.

"Looks like you plans were ruined Cullen," Jane said as the bodies finished burning.

"What are you talking about? We did not set this up," Carsile said.

"Oh we know you and your wife didn't Carsile, but the rest of your convent sure did," Alec said looking at the rest of the Cullens who had a gleam of fear in their eye. "You see Carsile, Laurent the third of the nomads that were here came to me yesterday. He knew who we were and he didn't want to end up on the Volturi's bad side. You see the other Cullens have tracked down the nomads and gave them the challenge of killing the girl who belonged to the Volturi. That's why they appeared here today, it wasn't a coincidence. Your family wanted Bella dead for being my mate. Now, I can't kill you, because of Carsile, but I will warn you to stay away from Isabella, because next time you won't be so lucky."

Carsile looked disgusted with his family. "I'm sorry for the trouble my family has caused. I apologize for endangering your life Bella."

Bella smiled at Carsile, "You weren't the one to endanger it Carsile, but I think this is our cue to leave." Alec and Jane nodded in agreement and they headed back to their house together.

"Jane, I'll be back watch over Bella," Alec said as he got up from Bella's bed. Jane nodded knowing what her brother was going to go do.

Alec ran until he spotted the Cullen house. He knocked on the door still wanting to be civil. Carsile opened the door and Alec entered.

"I really wouldn't try anything Eddie boy, Aro wouldn't be too happy to hear you endangered the life of his adoptive daughter, and then went to try and kill one of his elite guards. I came here to have a civil conversation." Alec said seriously.

Carsile nodded and led Alec to where the whole family was in the living room.

"Look Cullens, Bella has taken a liking to you all, so that is why neither I nor Jane punished you today, Aro gave us permission to do anything to protect Isabella, and punishing you would fall under that category. I couldn't say this in the field for Bella's sake, but I'll say it now. You try and even come near my Bella and I'll give you a slow and torturous death. And that is just me, I'm sure Jane would have more ideas. Bella is protected by the Volturi and holds strong bonds with each of its kings, and trust me when I say she has a close bond with Caius, and he wouldn't be too happy to hear of how you endangered her life today. I ask that you leave Forks, Isabella wants to spend the rest of her human life here with her father, and I think it would be more pleasurable for her if none of you were here for the rest of the time being. Leave Forks, and do not return until Isabella is gone. If you decided to stay I will personally make sure that your time here is torturous," Alec said as he looked at the horror stricken Cullens. "I see you understand the meaning of this, I should get going back to my Bella. It was good seeing you again Carsile." Alec said smiling at Carsile.

Carsile nodded and escorted Alec out of the house. Alec ran back to Bella, he wanted to torture and punish the Cullens for putting Bella in danger, but he knew it wouldn't do much so he decided to let it go and instead put some fear in them. When Alec arrived back in Bella's room Bella was stirring in her sleep, faintly whispering his name. Alec smiled and pulled Bella into a tight embrace.
