GUESS WAT, I CAN TYPE(sort of i've been banned from doing more than 2 hours of works) YAAAAYYYY!!! So here is a celebratory chapter, and BTW a couple of people asked what a space hopper is and it's a kind of little kids toy, basically a giant rubber-ball with handles on and you bounce on it. A couple of my mates bought two in a French market and decided to start a relay race, and thats when the bones got broken lol. Anyway ENJOY !!

We were running in silence, all that could be heard were footfalls, and evenly paced breathing. We were about halfway to the house, when two of the sets of footfalls abruptly stopped. Everyone else breezed past them and then stopped and turned to see who had stopped. Victoria and James were standing there hand in hand about 5 feet away from the rest of us. "Is there a problem?" Carlisle asked, his voice was still not as friendly as it had been before. "Our house is only a few miles from here." The blonde male, James, spoke. "Actually, I think we better be on our way. Victoria and I would like to thank you for the offer but we shall leave." There was something off about the way he was talking, his voice was slightly guarded. We were being lied to. "Are you positive you won't return with us?" Carlisle asked, his manners were flawless as usual, but you could clearly see that he had realised something was wrong too. "No" said James with a small smile, "thank you for your hospitality." He then turned to Laurent "will you be coming with Victoria and I, or will you stay with our vegetarian friends here?" Laurent seemed to think about his answer more than was strictly necessary, "I think I shall remain with the Cullens. If I need to I can find you."
"Very well" replied James, his voice abruptly colder than before. Then both he and Victoria turned to the left, and sprinted out of sight leaving us staring after them. "Shall we continue to our house?" Carlisle asked. Laurent gave one stiff nod. With that we were running again. It took us a further 5 minutes to reach the house. When we arrived, Esme, Jasper, Carlisle and I sat on the large white couch expecting Laurent to sit in the arm chair, but he stood. "Please sit" said Esme, always the perfect hostess. Laurent looked her in the eyes and then sighed. "Cullens" he said "I am very sorry to tell you that your human, Bella, is in danger." He was speaking in a rush. "James is a tracker. The hunt is his obsession. I'm afraid the way your boy Edward reacted has set him off. He will hunt that human until she is dead." He stopped talking and stared at his feet. No one seemed to want to say anything. I could see Esme and Carlisle's faces were frozen with shock, and Jasper looked like he may be sick, but I was sure this look had nothing to do with Bella's safety. He was worried what would happen to Alice, he knew that she would die to protect Bella. I was now glad that the others seemed to have petrified because I didn't want them to see the look on my face, hatred. I knew it was there, and I couldn't make it go away. She had done it. Bella had managed to get a sadistic bastard tracking her and she was likely to get half of us killed in the attempt to save her. I couldn't believe what she had done to us, what she was going to do to us. And Edward, I knew that my brother would die for this girl without a second thought. It couldn't be denied anymore. He was as deeply in love with Bella as I was with Emmett, BUT EMMETT WAS WIRTH DYING FOR, BELLA WAS NOT. She was human, she was fragile plus she was going to tear apart our family. I had to clap my wrists to my sides to stop myself hitting something. Carlisle regained his composure first. "Thank you for telling us this." He was speaking very quietly as though he had been winded. "I know it must have been hard to choose between us and your coven, we owe you hugely for this." Laurent nodded his face was still unsure, I knew he was debating if he had made the right decision. He cocked his eyebrow "should you not tell your boy?" He asked. "No" Carlisle replied. "Edward will know. He's a mind reader. He would have seen what James was. That explains why he acted the way he did in the clearing." Throughout Laurent's and Carlisle's discussion I worked on regaining control of my facial muscles and hopefully pulling them into a more concerned rather than livid expression. I was pretty sure I had managed it. Jasper spoke for the first time since the nomads had arrived. "What are we going to do?" No one answered, they had no idea. We heard the rumble of Bella's monstrous truck about half a mile off and we all stood. Emmett burst through the door with Bella tucked under his arm; Alice and Edward were at their sides. When Emmett spotted Laurent growls began to build in his throat. He set Bella down and I ran to his side, he clamped his arms around my waist. I immediately felt safer, even if only for a second. "He's tracking us." Edward announced and glared at Laurent. "I was afraid of that." Laurent' tone was unhappy. He seemed truly sorry for the events of this night. "I knew that when he saw your reaction" he turned to Edward "it would set him off."
"Can you stop him?" Carlisle asked, a kind of quiet desperation coloured his voice.
Laurent shook his head, "nothing stops James when he gets started."
"We'll stop him" Emmett promised. I shot him a glare and clutched closer to his side. HE WOULD NOT DIE OVER BELLA SWAN.
"You can't bring him down. " Laurent warned, "I've never seen anything like him in my 300 years. He's absolutely lethal. That's why I joined his coven." So I had been wrong then, James was the leader here. Laurent shot a glance at Bella. "Are you sure it's worth it?" he asked his tone perplexed. I shouted the word no in my head, but I was pretty sure Edward didn't hear me because at exactly the same time he let out an ear splitting growl that had Laurent recoiling. "I'm afraid you are going to have to make a choice" said Carlisle. Laurent looked around at us. He seemed to understand were asking, will you stay with us or fight with them. "I am truly intrigued by the life you have here. But I won't get in the middle of this. I bear none of your enmity, but I won't go up against James. I think I will head North – to that clan in Denali." He paused, seeming to look for confirmation that this was a good idea. Carlisle nodded slightly. "Don't underestimate James" he continued "He's got a brilliant mind and unparalleled senses. He's every bit as comfortable in the human world as you seem to be, he won't come at you head on… I am sorry for what's been unleashed here, truly sorry." He bowed his head. He was feeling far guiltier than he should, after all this wasn't HIS fault. "Go in peace" said Carlisle. And with that he flew out the door.
