"When do you go to school?" Edward asked me in a hushed voiced so only I would hear but obviously the vampires could hear.

"School starts September first, but we leave for James house on August twenty-ninth to go to Diagon Alley and get on the train. I'll be back for Christmas and New Years…maybe Dumbledore will let you come and visit! That is…if you wanted too." He stopped me and cupped my chin so I was forced to look up at him. "I would love to, hell, I wish I could just go with you and stay all year just so I can be with you. I'm going to miss you. You're everything to me."

He kissed me when he was finished and I gladly excepted his sweet, passion filled kiss. Padfoot wolf whistled from where he stood looking at under-armor a few feet away from us. I rolled my eyes under Edward's gaze. Edward pulled back grinning obviously laughing at Sirius's thoughts because he winked at him. I don't need to be a mind reader to know what he was thinking, the weirdo.

On the way back home I told Edward about Victoria and the pack. He instantly wanted to help but was hesitant about working with the wolves. They were sworn enemies by nature. However I convinced them to work together for the greater good. When we were home I sent a patronus to Jake asking him to come to the Cullens house with their pack, they wanted to help and needed to meet them and discuss things. Edwards family watched in amazement as the glowing ghost fox sat listening to the message before floating off at a gallop towards La Push.

I was tired and really wanted to just go home and sleep with Edward holding me but right now was not the time.

I conjured a pepper-up potion and drank the contents inside the small glass vial. I noticed Remus doing the same, I could tell he was becoming tired and tomorrow would probably be his last day of training for about a week until the full moon was over and he had time to recover.

I was always extra cautious during the week before the full moon and preparing for the night took time. Some of the pain medication needed to be started a week in advance to be complete for the morning after. I would start those tonight…

I was taken out of my thoughts by someone knocking steadily on the front door. Carlisle was immediately there opening the door to reveal Jacob and his pack of half dressed wolfs in human form. They were on defense I could tell but some were still looking around at the enormous house that had mostly window walls. "Hello Jake, I'm glad you got my message.

I was going to owl, but I figured it would be quicker if I sent a patronus." I said hurrying over to him hoping he would relax a little. He smiled down at me reminding me of how short I was compared to these boys. "I gotta say Bells, this magic stuff is pretty damn cool but when I saw that ghost looking fox thing I almost shit my pants." Sirius cracked up loudly as he was laughing in the background and I grinned at Jake. "That's cute." I said rolling my eyes. "I thought so." He replied making me roll my eyes again.

I led the wolves inside the family room where everyone else was sitting and introduced everyone. "This is Jacob, the alpha, Sam, the beta, Seth, Jared, Paul, Quil, Embry, Collin, Brady, Mike, Tyler, and Eric. Guys this is Carlisle and his mate Esme, Emmet and his mate Rosalie, Jasper and his mate Alice, and Edward…"

I said looking into his golden honey eyes slightly dazzled by the look of pure love and adoration he gave me. I smiled in return feeling the exact same, wait what? Did I love Edward? Yes, I did. I didn't know what to do as I came to that realization but I decided to wait until we were alone to tell him. "Alright well, lets just lay everything out and then decide on what to do." Carlisle said indicating to Jacob to begin his story.

"Okay well this last spring, Sam and I phased for the first time and over time everyone else phased. In our legends it talks about our people descending from wolves and fighting the "cold ones". Vampires. A couple came through, James and Victoria. I killed James with the help of the pack but we weren't able to defeat Victoria. She got away but has been trying to come back to avenge James's death. We believe, that she wants to kill Bella. A mate for a mate sort of thing.

Now Edward don't look at me like that, Bella and I are only friends. She thinks that we're mates because she knew that Bella was coming home and I was picking her up from the airport. I was happy that she was coming home because I knew that she could help us get used to this magic stuff. She grew up with magic, I remember when we were little and she would change and her hair would change color and then we were outside one time and she made this entire tree combust into flames. So I knew she could give us advice and when Sirius, James and Remus showed up I knew we were good to go. However we have been running patrols around the La Push reservation and they put up wards and other stuff to keep her out and any other vampires for that matter. Nothing has come up yet but we just wanted to be cautious and for you to be aware. You know just watch out for something unusual.

Bella's house is warded and you have to get in with a password and the password is actual blood or DNA as she puts it, so I don't know how you'll get in but she'll figure something out…" They nodded and James spoke up, "Instead of blood vampires have venom that is specific to them, we could use that as a substitute for the blood." That was a good idea, and it would be easier than completely taking the wards down and redoing them.

We talked more and more and eventually everyone started to relax. Seth and Edward seemed to hit it off really well and were talking animatedly while I sat there and listened to Jake and Carlisle talk. Remus was dozing off and soon everyone was leaving to head back home.

I looked at the time and it was going on eleven, Charlie would be worried. "We should go guys, it's getting late and I want to start the early potions needed for Friday." I said and they nodded. Edward leaned down and whispered into my ear, "I'm coming home with you, I can't stand to be away from you." I looked up at him, touched, "I'm going to be sleeping though? Won't that be boring for you?" He nodded in disagreement and I grinned like the crazy person I am. "Okay." I said blushing and my highlights turned red to match my face.

"Are you guys going to be running with us in the morning?" I asked Emmet, Jasper, and Edward. They looked at each other in question before agreeing to meet us here at the same time. "You know it will make you stronger as a vampire. You're senses will increase as well as your powers, strength, and speed."

"Not all vampires have powers." Emmet said and I looked at Sirius who rolled his eyes. "Every vampire has one power. Some of them just don't discover their powers or they come late, but every vampire has a power, that is what makes them so powerful. You can tell what their power will be based on their personality and how they look.

It's been bothering Vix since we met you that nearly half of you have yet to find your powers. The other night she was complaining so much that James glued her mouth shut." Remus said chuckling. "We want to help you guys find out your powers and strengthen them before we leave for school. We can work on it tomorrow if you want, I know just how we can start to look for them."
