First I'd like to thank everyone for the wonderful reviews and take some time to answer a few.
kim67255: I know what you mean its fun to add others into the series and I figure if Stephanie Meyers has Werewolves and Vampires existing why not other things.
Mrs. Jacob-Freakin-Black: Though I answered this in a personal email I'd like to answer it for all just in case others were wondering. I've used Nikel's name in every Twilight story I have so far (Except Monster). I was writing this story and planned on having a different group of people, but I wasn't completely ready to let go of those characters. Then I had a reviewer ask me to do another story with the Bendig Family and it didn't have to be a Soul Series story so I decided to change the characters and put them into Saving Me. This is actually the last we'll see of any of them most likely because I'm done writing them outside of the Soul Series One-shot story. Also the reason they even started in any stories was because I'm writing an original piece of work with them and I used Fanfiction to help work out their personality and some problems with them. (Do note though while I say this is probably the last we'll see of them it isn't a for sure thing I really do love these characters and I'm sure I'll have a reviewer at some point request a story written with them of some sort).
WhisperInTheRain: Honestly I wonder what will happen next to. I only have basic plan the characters tend to write themselves and I have no idea what's going to end up happening.
patch138: I thank you! You gave me a great idea for a scene which you will see in this chapter (Insert evil laugh).
TeamJacobRoxz: I'm glad you like my stories! I love to write and it inspires me to know that people actually enjoy reading it. I hope the end of this story and my future work will not disappoint.
Don't forget to check out the website www. Freewebs. Com/ no1schizo (take out spaces or find the website on my profile) Not only does it have all my twilight fanfic info but also the website with the first chapter of my original story featuring the Cruors/Bennetts.
Anyways, on with the story!

Chapter 15: Come out and Play
Hey, come out and play
By the time you hear the siren
It's already too late
One goes to the morgue and the other jail
It was Thursday before they guys even managed to catch a whiff of where Victoria and her group might be. We hoped it actually led somewhere since everyone was getting sick and tired of waiting around now that we had an idea of what we wanted to do.
Yesterday when Emmett and Jasper first came over to help sniff out the threat Alice came with them. She just had to tease me about Nikel spending the night at my house. Of course, she didn't realize that we set up the barrier so when she came over last night to catch us as a joke Nikel grabbed her with his powers and dumped Blue paint on her head courtesy of Loretta. I wonder if she got it out…
"Bella," I heard a voice shout out from the tree's followed by a chant, "Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella, Bella, Be-"
"Shut up, Zach!" Allina yelled from the door behind me.
They broke through the trees then; Zach came running out first in human form. Sam, who was still shifted into a bloodhound and Gabriel, who was in the shape of a Black bear, came following after. Jasper and Emmett came out last following behind the boys a bit scared. I really couldn't blame them Zach was worrisome to be around.
"So what'd you find out?" Allina asked, moving down to join me. Nikel, who was washing the Mustang in the driveway jogged over as they stopped around us. Soon enough everyone was there including all the Cullens and the two boys shifted back into their human forms.
"Patience, patience."
"Zach…"
"Okay, Okay sheesh, you know Allina you can be a real bi-"
"We have a slight problem." Emmett interrupted what could've been a long rant on Zach's part as he scratched the back of his head, "We located Victoria and the others, the problem is they're on Werewolf land."
"So the Werewolves aren't doing their job getting them out? Wonderful, what else is new?" Nikel snapped, obviously annoyed over the situation.
"W-Were-Werewolves?" I asked my voice cracking. What were they talking about?
"Yeah, you know those Quileute people, well, some of them turn into wolves, though they're not real werewolves. They're closer to us shifters than real werewolves, but they can only be wolves." Zach explained, leaning against the house, "They're these big fuzzy critters that are the sworn enemy of Vampires and they go Rawr, Rawr, Rawr."
Edward spoke up then and I had to force myself not to cringe, "Didn't that Jacob kid tell you when you found out about us?"
My eyes widened, "That's right, I remember now. You're not allowed on their land." I turned to look at the Cruors, "But how did you know about the treaty and everything?"
Allina answered this time, "Bella, please, we're Cosmic Troublemakers it's our job to know these things. We know about every supernatural breed and their relations with others. We're the ones who cause strife in the world but we're also the ones who keep watch over the supernatural world. Not our family personally, but there are certain Cosmic families that are responsible for those kind of things. Don't think about it too much."
"Right," Nikel yawned, "Now that you're done with the History lesson let's move on. Maybe we can talk to them and see if they'll help. One knows Bella, right?"
"Jacob's not a werewolf, he didn't even believe in the legends."
"A lot can change in a year, Bella." Nikel muttered, looking at me.
"She shouldn't be around those werewolves, they're unstable." Edward hissed, looking really angry.
"I'll go with her," Nikel snapped turning to face Edward. I put my hand in his arm to keep him from doing something drastic…again, "She'll be safe with me, I can protect her, and I will protect her." He finished, trying not to bite his head off.
"It isn't your business, anyways." I reminded him, smirking at Edward. I turned to Nikel, "So when do we go?"
Nikel glanced at his watch; it was already getting close to seven in the evening, "Might as well go now. No point in waiting." He looked at everyone else, "I don't know how long this will take. We'll meet first thing tomorrow morning, here, with the report."
He led me over to the Mustang and he got in not really waiting for an answer. The thing with Nikel was he was use to giving orders and those orders were just expected to be followed. I just stared at him as I was about to get into the vehicle.
"I'm coming too." Sam yelled out, running over to us. He jumped in front of me and got into the back seat. I got into the front and look back at him confused. I turned to face the front as Nikel started the car.
Nikel took off down the driveway before he finally must've gotten curious, "So Sam why are you coming along?"
I heard Sam snort, "Well I'm sorry I thought you guys were going to go visit some Werewolves not going to be alone and make out." I blushed, though I wasn't really sure why, "Seriously though I'm a shifter, I figured I could help."
I shrugged, looking at Nikel, "Better him than Zach."
"Very true."
The rest of the drive was fairly quiet, only a few comments were made here and there. I called Charlie to tell him I'd once again be sleeping over at the Cruors. I figured I, at least, spent last night at my own house. I also told him I was going down to La Push and might visit Jake. I had a feeling if I didn't tell him, Billy would. Those two gossip like old ladies.
When we finally reached La Push I began to wonder where exactly we'd find a group of werewolves. Funny we found them outside a drugstore. I nudged Nikel when I recognized Jake with a group of guys. He looked different, bigger and his hair was cut short. He wasn't the same Jake I remembered meeting when I first arrived to Forks.
Nikel pulled into the parking lot and stepped out of the vehicle. I noticed the group of guys immediately turned his way, watching him, seeing an outsider I suppose. I scrambled out to be by his side and I heard Sam get out behind me.
"Bella?" Jacob whispered looking at me shocked. I guess he wasn't expecting to see me.
"Hey Jake. Uh this is my boyfriend, Nikel and his stepbrother, Sam." I introduced pointing to the two.
Nikel stared at the man in the front of the group. Even I could see he seemed to be the one leading them.
"I'm assuming you're the Alpha of this pack of…wolves. We need to talk to you; maybe we should take this somewhere more secluded."
Smooth, Nikel. I rolled my eyes at his blunt demeanor. I was surprised when the 'Alpha' just nodded and we followed him into the woods. I knew he didn't trust us, I could see it in his eyes before we headed out. The rest of the pack followed as well, Jake kept sending me confused looks.
We stopped once we were deep enough in the woods nobody would overhear us.
"Can we have your names please?" Nikel questioned, looking at them.
"I'm Sam," he pointed to his pack one by one, "Jake, Paul, Embry and Jared."
I glanced at our Sam who face remained neutral. At least Zach wasn't with, I'm sure he'd be making comments about the two having the same names.
"Right. Well I heard you have a bit of a vampire problem around here. We're working with the Cullens to take out the problem. In order to do that we either you to let them on your land to kill them off or we need you to chase them down to us."
"We don't work with the Cullens. We may have a treaty with them but we don't get along with them." Sam growled, his pack nodding in agreement.
Nikel smirked, "We'll that makes two of us who don't like them but it's necessary to take out this threat. No more humans need to die or be turned."
"Humans? What are you, stranger?"
Nikel smirked. Please don't go a rant…, "My stepbrother Sam is a shifter, Bella here is a human and I am -what is called- a Cosmic Troublemaker."
"Never heard of one."
"Doesn't surprise me," He replied impatience, "Will you help us?"
Sam's eyes narrowed, "We don't work with the Cullens. We'll take care of this problem ourselves. We don't need help."
Sam snorted but stayed quiet. Nikel however didn't, "Oh yes, it seems you're doing so well on your own now."
"Watch your mouth, little boy." The one named Paul growled taking a threatening step forward.
"Paul, calm." Sam ordered. Paul's eyes narrowed as he physically tried to relaxed.
Of course, Nikel just smirked that cocky smirk of his. He wasn't worried about them, obviously, "I'm just stating the obvious there, puppy. All you're doing is prolonging their time on this planet. You've failed so far."
Paul started to shake and confused I took a step back. Sam moved over to my side and gave me a little push so I was more behind Nikel. I wasn't sure what was going on until in an explosion of clothes a huge wolf was standing before us.
None of the other wolves could react, Paul moved forward as if to strike at Nikel was intercepted by our Sam who transformed without me even noticing. He easily took Paul down and held him down his neck in the powerful jaws of…well I didn't really know.
"Nikel, what is that?" I asked. I could tell the werewolf pack was confused as well. Sam was about three feet tall at the shoulder making him a bit smaller than Paul in height but he made up for it in muscle. I knew Sam turned into canine breeds but while he looked kind of like a dog he was more shaped like a bear. He had long canine fangs that while weren't biting into Paul yet were very close.
"Epicyon Haydeni, he doesn't take the form often. It's a prehistoric dog if you will and the only reason he can even shift into it is because my mom helped him with her powers." Nikel whispered to me though I don't know why he bothered, the others could obviously hear him.
He looked at Sam, "Don't mess with us." He then looked at his brother, "Sam, let him go and turn back."
With a nod, Sam released Paul and turned back into his human form. As if embarrassed, Paul ran off. The one named Jared turned then and followed him.
Nikel looked at the werewolves once again. The night was setting in and I was starting to get antsy.
"I don't know what you are exactly, but we will not help you." Sam decided looking at us.
Nikel's eyes narrowed, but nodded, "Fine, then I hope you can deal with any of the consequences."
With that he turned around, lightly grabbed my arm and began to walk away. None of them said anything as all three of us walked away.
Nikel growled as soon as we were in the car, "Those stupid dogs. I can't stand the Quileute Changers they are the most arrogant humans around."
"Humans?"
"Yes Bella," he sighed, "Humans. They're still humans. They just change for awhile. They were born human and they will eventually die as a human. They're not really part of the Supernatural world, well they are but they're like the lowest of the low. They don't care about anything outside of vampires. Because of that they don't bother to learn what else is out there."
"Right, so what do we do now?"
Sam snarled annoyed from the back seat, "We hope those stupid wolves somehow chase them down here."
"Agreed." Nikel muttered, "Let's go home. We're out of options for the night."
--
I woke up the next morning to someone looming over me. I snapped open my eyes and let out a yelp as I fell out of the bed.
"Oh jeez that was awesome!" Zach laughed from the doorway.
Allina sighed and held her hand out to help me up. She was the one who scared the living daylights out me.
"What was that for?"
"Sorry, I was about to shake you awake. The Cullens will be here in an hour so I figured you'd want to get ready." She looked over at her brother, "You wake him up."
With that she left the room. I looked over at my boyfriend who was facing away from me and muttered, "Some bodyguard I yell out and he doesn't move."
"I knew it was just Allina." Came his muffled reply.
I leaned over to see his face and was taken by surprise when he moved forward and captured my lips in a kiss. I leaned into him, smiling. Now this was the way to start a morning.
"Get ready and stop making out!" Allina's voice drifted from down the hallway.
I pulled back, "How did she know?"
Nikel laughed, "She's a sexual Cosmic Troublemaker; it's her business to know."
"Wonderful," I groaned, giving him one last kiss before getting up. We had to get ready after all.
Fifty minutes later we were all down in the kitchen waiting for the Cullens to arrive. When they finally did the meeting began.
"So the wolves won't help us because they're stupid." Nikel started off, making me groan.
"Blunt enough?"
He frowned at me, "Actually I thought I was being quite gracious."
"Anyways, the bottom line is we're on our own." Sam interrupted us.
Carlisle looked thoughtful, "You're hoping the wolves will somehow managed to chase them down here."
Nikel looked surprised, "Yes, actually. We'd have to stay hear the border so we'd know otherwise they'd run right back. It'd be must easier if those assholes would just work with us but whatever."
While they started to plan on how to kill one of my worst enemy's I got up to stare out the window. I couldn't help; I was stuck inside with Jamie and Loretta no matter where they fought. Those two were going to be my last line of defense just in case.
I froze when I noticed movement outside, "Hey Nike…"
"Yeah," I heard the pause in the planning.
"I think your plans are now worthless."
I heard the scrapping of a chair as he moved to my side, "Why's that Bella?"
I pointed out the window, "I think they're coming to us."
The others ran outside to see what was going on, while Nikel looked at me, "Stay inside, stay by Loretta and Jamie and stay low." With a quick kiss he ran outside as well.
I hate it when I'm right.
