AN: Back with chapter 7! So I got my wifi back sooner than expected! And just a warning, on the 18th of this month I am going to Disneyland! I won't be back till the 22nd. So, I'm not going to post during that time. How has my story been? Fantastic? Okay? Awful? Let me know! If you have questions pm me. I will try to answer them to the best of my ability. Also I am looking for an editor! If you would like to fill that job then let me know! Okay, I will stop talking; here is the next chapter, but first a little message:

DISCLAIMER: I don't own twilight or any characters, they belong to SM.

It's been a few weeks since Charlie told me my past. Sam and I talked and he showed me some home videos he had of us. We got along good, and nothing changed for me and Charlie and Renee; same old happy family as before.

I walk along First Beach-deep in thought. I start humming as I meander along.

Gravel crunches behind me and I spin around.

"Oh Jake, it's you. What the hell? You scared me!"

He chuckles

"Sorry Bells, it's too easy to scare you."

I grumble something unintelligible.

"Oh, Bells, what were you humming? It sounded familiar?"

"Never too late, by Three Days Grace."

(AN: love that song 3)

He nods

"Great song."

"I know, that's why I was humming it."

I roll my eyes at him; he was getting on my nerves. Well I guess it wasn't his fault it was just… that special time and it made me a little moody.

(AN: girls will know what I mean when I say 'special time in the month')

"What were you thinking about?"

"The meeting,"

I reply sighing

"I mean, what will I do? They don't know I've gone wolf. Plus the Volturri expect me to be a bloodsucking leech-and they will find out when they next visit the Cullens. Then they'll want to kill us and the pack."

The words rush out of my mouth. Jacob pulls me close and gives me a tight hug; swaying us back and forth.

"It'll be okay Bells; we can handle a few leeches."

"That's what I'm worried about. That attitude is going to kill you and the pack. These guys are stronger and older than any vamp there is. They have and army of bloodsuckers that have special abilities, that can kill you in a second. Trust me."

I shudder thinking of what Carlisle told me.

Jacob opens his mouth to speak but is cut off when we hear a howl.

'Oh boy, time to go to our gathering.'

I mentally groan. Me and Jacob look at each other then take off to the woods. We phase and await instructions.

Sam- Here's the plan; I'll phase first while you guys line up in order of ranks. When I say your name and rank; phase. Got it?

All- Yes sir!

We take off running and reach the place designated to meet the Cullens. It's a medium sized 'peninsula' just off the main beach. In the center is a large fire pit-that already has a roaring fire in it-and logs on the outside for seating. On one log the Cullens are seated.

Sam phases and we line up as ordered; Jacob, Jared, Paul, Embry, Quil, Seth, Brady, Collin, and me. The leeches look to us and Sam starts,

"This is Jacob; the Beta."

Jacob runs to the woods and phases before taking his place back in line.

"This is Jared; the third in command."

Jared also phases and Sam moves on.

"This is Paul."

He decides to pick up the pace.

"This is Embry, Quil, Brady, and Collin."

He points to each of them and they phase.

The Cullens look to me expectantly and I feel butterflies.

"This is our newest member and I believe you know her."

He nods to me and I run into the bushes. I phase and come out. Putting on a calm façade I face them. Their faces are shocked. It takes a moment but then they are all yelling.

Their words are hard to make out. Carlisle stands and demands for it to be quiet. They all calm down and sit. Carlisle speaks for the all.

"When? How?"

Sam doesn't look like he will answer so I do.

"In Italy after I saved Edward. I am Quilett."

My answers are short and to the point, I'm not giving out information that I don't have to.

They all shake their heads, but Rosalie is the only one who thinks of it.

"What about the Volturri?"

Silence comes over the beach. Not the comfortable silence, but the eerie type.

Then a voice breaks the silence.

"What of us?"

We turn and standing in the shadows are three cloaked figures that reek of blood.

'The Volturri…'

AN: Again, sorry about the short chapter and paragraph, I've just been so busy! I am thinking about how this will work out so give me a day or two to post the next one. Thanks! Oh yea, if you don't listen to Three Days Grace; you should give it a try, they are fantastic and have amazing songs and music and voices and just everything! LOVE them!

P.s.

kouga's older woman I know how you feel, I love Charlie too!
