Gash

All of us were silent as we saw red in the distant future. Alice's vision played in mine and Edward's head unwillingly. Our eyes met, my own, relaxed anticipating his horrifying reaction. The look on my face seem to relax him. I looked back to Alice as she came out of her vision.

"She'll just have to go to Jacksonville, so we can take care of her." I filled the awkward silence.

Alice nodded, her hair bouncing along with her head. "With her gone it will be much easier for us to take Victoria out."

"You'll go too Edward." I said quickly, guessing his reaction.

"What? And leave you to take her out?" he said in distaste. I was right.

"So you're going to send Bella to another state by herself because you think we can't take care of a stupid nomad? Thanks a lot for the compliment." I rolled my eyes and started up the stairs. Alice didn't follow, but Edward did.

"Julia, it's dangerous, she's dangerous. You may not believe it, but I couldn't stand it if anyone got hurt when I wasn't here." we reached the top of the stairs and he grabbed my wrist. "Especially you." he looked into my eyes.

"I can take care of myself believe it or not. I'm very talented in that department." I said sarcastically.

"I know you can, that wont stop me from worrying though." he let go and dropped his arm to his side. I got on my toes, took his chin, and kissed his cheek.

"Thanks for caring." I smiled at the fact Edward cared even though he should be just a tad more worried for Bella given the situation. "But it's better for you to be with her and for us to do the dirty work. If you got hurt Bella would blame herself, if I get hurt, we can blame someone else." I looked over to the clock on the wall. "Speaking of Bella you should probably get going." my hand straightened his shirt collar, "you know she's waiting up for you. Propose the adventure, you know she still has the tickets."

I went to my room as he left and waited for Alice to enter, the future was starting to blur and fade to black.

"Something bad is going to happen." she said sadly. "I think it's going to happen to you."

We went to the bed and faced each other. "If something does happen, I'm not go to die. They wont kill us like we wont kill them. It'll be a scratch."

"Or a gash." she exaggerated.

"Don't say that." I reprimanded her. "Edward is already worried enough, if he heard you say that we'd never get him to leave." I smiled and decided to change the subject. "So how are the invitations going?"

"Great!" she practically leapt of the bed from joy. "I've got the lay out for everything we bought. It will be such a fun night."

"I'm glad. We'll need some fun wont we?" I smiled as she nodded. "Like old times."

"Like old times." she took my hand in hers. "When you were gone, I never thought there'd be old times again. It was like you had disappeared from the face of the earth. It was terrifying."

"I'm sorry if I hurt you. I didn't mean to." I looked at our hands, feeling like the patch of sisterhood had returned.

"Did you find what you were looking for?"

"Yes, I did. I found what I couldn't live without." I smiled, still looking at our hands. "I couldn't live without you, without Edward or Jasper or Esme. All of you are such an important part of who I am, that when I'm away from you," I paused, "I'm just not me." I looked at her. She was smiling.

"Same here." her arms wrapped around me tightly. "Promise you'll never leave again." she muffled in my hair.

"Promise."

"Come on!" I yelled as her track came into view. We followed quickly eyes like daggers on the trail ahead. I weaved through the trees and marked a thin line. It took so much concentration to hear her and see the trail that lead to her, my mind didn't notice we'd crossed the treaty line, I also didn't see the large wolf directly in the way of following Victoria. My body collapsed in a very deja-vu-like way.

"Why is it, that every time I'm close to getting her, you get in the damn way?!" my voice shot at Paul with anger. But there was no reply in my head, not even a small whisper. This wolf was smaller than Paul, his eyes more different, his coat more softer. "You're not Paul are you?" I asked as he continued to stare at me as though dazed. His large head shook back and forth then froze to his right staring at something.

I moved swiftly between Emmett and the wolf. While facing Emmett, my arm went up in defense of the large claw that was coming down toward my face. As gravity went against the wolf's large body, his claw pounded down to the ground, right through my arm. I could hear the slow dripping, something that sounded like a leaky faucet, before I saw Carlisle hovering over my arm. He was examining it and Alice was trying to tell Jasper and Emmett to calm down. I pulled away from him and mumbled something like 'I'm fine' while covering the four claw marks that went straight through to the bone with my other hand. My grant colored venom covered the ground around me, my arm, and now my other hand. Everyone was still, even the wolves.

The one that I'd ran into whimpered and cowered back, his eyes were large on my wound. Emmett and Jasper were in a defensive position, looking between me and the wolves, deciding whether to attack them or hold me up. Did I look like I was about to faint? Emmett's arm wrapped around my small waist, I did feel faint.

I looked at Carlisle. His face hadn't moved away from my arm. I raised my hand and saw the bone, still clear as day. My hand covered it again and my eyes met Carlisle's. We were both worried.

"Julia?" he questioned slowly, taking in my expression.

I took a small breath and quietly ask, "can you give me your sleeve," and looked away.

His hand quickly ripped off his left sleeve and started to wrap it around my arm tightly. I heard everyone's thoughts; she should be healing by now. They matched my own, by mine were worse. This meant it was much more than a cut, it could be potentially dangerous. I should be healing much faster than I was, and since the bone was still visible, it seemed I wasn't healing at all.

"Let's go." I said lowly, glaring at the wolf in front of me, his paw was covered with dark liquid. It was Paul. He wasn't thinking of apologizing, he wasn't thinking at all to begin with. Then his mouth came to a slight upward curve. "We shouldn't be on their land even if it wasn't intentional. Let them get kill by the newborns. Who cares? They're just stupid mutts who can't control their temper." I spat and walked the other way.

Julia. Sam's voice called to me in a talking tone.

"Save it!" I yelled and continued. I felt sick and my arm was still bleeding. Carlisle's dark shirt had grown darker and damp, and no matter how I tried I couldn't get the wolves faces out of my head. Especially Jacob's. His thoughts haunted me, he was happy. I got hurt and he thought it was appropriate, because I shouldn't be getting in the way of him and Bella.

I gritted my teeth. "I'm going to hunt." I said lowly, like a demon.

"I'm going with you." Emmett's voice pounded. "We'll meet you back at the house."

"Okay." Carlisle said lowly, I could tell he was watching me from behind. "See you there."

When we reached a deer, I looked at Emmett and nodded. "I'm going to take this one."

"I'm going to get a bear. Eat up, it will make you feel better. Then we can tear those dogs to shreds." he pounded his chest as he ran away. I shook my head and looked down, the smile on my face went away again and as I looked at the deer, I could only see Jacob.

My body leapt gracefully and pinned the deer to the ground with strength, but not my regular power. I was weak. I spent a while looking at the deer, it was dead but appalling some how. It was weird, I'd never turn down a meal that couldn't run away, but now my body sat stiff as though it were frozen. I moved my head closer to its neck, inch by inch in a jerking motion then slowly bit in. As the blood filled my mouth so did a vile taste. I jerked back quickly and spat the blood out. It was almost as if I were throwing it up.

I repeated the action, and the same effect occured. I tried taking deep breaths, thinking of something else, but I couldn't swallow. Something about the taste set me off. My eyes slowly met Carlisle's damp sleeve. Was this because of wolves'?

"Yo!" Emmett called. My head jolted and looked at him, blood still dripping from my mouth. "You full?" he smiled, his teeth tinted with a slight hint of pink.

"Yeah." I stood up straight and nodded to him. "Lets go."
