As Edward pulled into the parking lot, I saw Jacob. He was leaning against the wall of the school waiting for us.

"Jacob!" I ran towards him. I was happy to see him even though Charlie and I went to the Reservation last weekend to talk about his part of the plan. Thankfully the Cullens went on a family hunting trip that weekend because the sun was out and about, so I didn't get caught.

"Happy Birthday Bella," he laughed as I slammed into him. He hugged me tightly to his body, "I got you something," he whispered into my hair before he backed away from me a bit. He then pulled a dream catcher out of his pocket and handed it to me, "it's for when you have a nightmare and I'm not there to help you get through it," he explained while smiling softly.

I looked at it in awe, "Thank you Jake, it's beautiful." I went to hug him but before I could, I heard a throat clearing. I rolled my eyes before I turned around and went to Edward's side.

Jacob scowled, "What's the matter leech? Don't want Bella to hang out with me? Afraid that she'll leave you for someone better?"

"I don't want her anywhere near you because you mutts would hurt her if someone pushed you a little too far, like that girl Emily," Edward sneered.

When I looked at Jacob, I knew that Edward went too far and Jacob was shaking (practically vibrating), so I knew he was close to phasing and I was just moments away from just giving up on the plan and just beating the bloody pulp out of Edward. Instead I side-stepped him and sprinted in front of Jacob before Edward could stop me.

"Jake, it's alright, he didn't mean it. He's just trying to protect me, right Edward?" I turned to glare at Edward, daring him to defy me, even though I knew he just wanted to control me and nothing more.

After what seemed like forever to me, Edward finally relented and turned to Jacob "Right, I'm sorry Jacob, I went too far and I apologize."

"See Jake, he didn't mean it." I cooed, hugging him until his shaking stopped and stepped away.

He sighed "I'm sorry Bella, I'll leave now, I hope you have a great birthday," then he turned and looked at Edward through narrowed eyes. "Just so you know leech, you could drain her of her blood if you smelled just a drop of her blood and you wouldn't have regret it 'till later when it's too late to save her." He said before he turned and walked away

"Bye Jake, thanks for everything!" I shouted after him, hoping he got the double meaning in what I said. I smiled a small smile, glad that part of the plan was successful.

When I was sure that Jake was gone I turned to Edward.

"What the fuck was that!? You know what happened to Emily was an accident, and Sam didn't know what he was doing! He was new to the wolf life, and alone with no one to help him!" I semi-shouted at him as I stormed into the school.

Edward was, unfortunately, able to keep up with me "Okay I admit that was a little much but it was the truth. Something could happen to you when you are with that pack of mutts if I'm not there to protect you." He gave me a crooked smile, thinking as if that would break me into forgiving him.

As I opened my mouth to give him a piece of my mind, Alice twirled up to us.

"Happy Birthday Bella! I got you a present, I already saw you opening it and you loved it" She chirped brightly.

Fat chance, I snorted in my head. I highly doubt that she saw me liking what she gave me or for that fact, saw visions of me since yesterday, in fact I KNOW that none of the Cullens' powers would have worked on me, I made sure of it.

"Thanks Alice, I'm sure I'll love it," I said, giving her the fakest smile I got. I knew that she only wanted me to be her Bella Barbie. "Well I need to go now, or I'm going to be late, bye!" I hurried away after saying that since I didn't want them to accompany me to class.

I was halfway to class, that was thankfully on the other side of the school from them, when I heard my phone go off. I looked at my phone before I answered it.

"Hello?" I asked confused, having not recognized the number. When I heard the voice on the other side, I felt my eyes get so big that I was sure they were going to fall out.

"Hello Lilly."

"Elijah?" I whispered, shocked that he has found and contacted me after putting me into hiding.

"Yes sweetheart, it's me."

Wondering why he was calling now out of all the chances he could have had before when something dawned on me and the panic started to set in.

"Why did you call, is everything alright? Did anything happen?" The only possible reason he could be calling is if Klaus had found me too and is coming to get me.

"I'm okay, relax, I just wanted you to know that the family has been awakened."

If anyone would have seen me at that moment, everyone would have told you that I looked like a gaping fish. Luckily no one saw because the warning bell rang moments ago and everyone left to class.

"Elizabeth, are you there? Lilly?"

I heard him calling for me over the phone and I took a deep breath before I answered through the tears that had started to fall. "Yes, I'm here Uncle Eli…please tell that I heard that right and that I wasn't just dreaming that I heard it?"

"You heard correctly my dear. The family has been awakened and your father is asking for you to come home to him. We are having a ball a week from Saturday for the reunion of our family, come then."

I sighed, resigned, "Tell father that I would be there as soon as possible but do not tell him that I will try to get there before the ball, I don't want to get his hopes up." I was already thinking about moving up my plans so that I could try to make it to this family ball.

"Alright Isa, I hope to see you soon," I heard him say before I heard the line go dead.

I squealed and jumped around before I wiped my tears away and composed myself. I quickly headed to class and ignored the teacher as I walked in to take my seat. I couldn't stop thinking of the days ahead of me as they counted down to the moment I could see my father again.

I want to give you guys a heads up that i would be try to update every week around the weekend but I not make any promises and a huge Dark-Supernatural-Angel, she is an amazing beta,you should really check out her stories,they're great :)
