Why We are Here

"It seems to be a basic Senli Corra attack. Should be easy." Kaga said, after questioning the Cullens for 2 hours about the nature of the attacks. I nodded in agreement.

"Which means that someone has a trick up their sleeve because no way they would send all four of us for a Senli Corra attack. Bella is far too important at the compound to send her out for something so simple, even if it meant reuniting with her soul mate." Sayth commented.

"Maybe you're wrong. I am not that useful at the compound."

"Yeah right. Even if they decided to finally give you a well deserved break, they would just send you out here and maybe Kaga too, just so you two could get used to working as a team."

"Like they don't already work together efficiently." Salth commented.

"Point."

"What else could it be?" Kaga asked.

I sighed. "Edward, are you guys always attacked by the same creatures, or do they share similar characteristics but are different in color?"

"Share similar characteristics."

"Oh." Kaga said, understanding brightening her gaze.

"So it isn't just a pack attacking them, it's the entire clan of Senli Corra looking for some fun."

"Which is why they let Bella leave the compound." Salth commented.

"So, why doesn't Bella track down their nest, then we go and attempt to fix the situation?"

"It's by the river, seven miles west."

"Seriously?"

"I don't dilly-dally."

"So I suppose you could draw it out?"

"Of course, but that would be unnecessary. It is set up in a basic Helstu Stöð format, minus the additions."

"Sigh." Salth and Sayth said together.

"I have a feeling I won't be required to do much while I am here." Kaga said, grinning.

"Don't say that, she will find work for you, I promise."

"Nah, I wouldn't do that to my partner, she is supposed to be able to trust me with her life."

"This is why I broke into a huge grin when I found out you were my partner."

"Oh, so it wasn't because you had this fantasy of Bella and " Salth started.

"That was part of it." Kaga interrupted.

"I didn't get to finish my sentence."

"It was unnecessary, we all knew what you were going to say."

"True."

I sighed and shook my head.

"Like I said earlier, someday you will realize that being straight was so 120 years ago."

"Yeah you keep pretending that."

"I will."

I smiled. While Kaga flirting made reuniting with my lover extremely awkward, I couldn't help but love her to death. She was an amazing catgirl. She was what made me stop attempting to find a way to leave the compound and actually have fun without Edward there. She was the one who helped me write those impossible letters. She was Kaga, fun loving, an incurable flirt and kind to the core.

"So, we can work on a plan tomorrow, but for now let's just call it a night." Salth commented as her sister yawned.

"Agreed."

I attempted to get off of Edward's lap, but he just picked me up and ran outside. I wondered where we were going for a moment before just snuggling into Edward's chest and breathing in the scent I had gone for so long without.

We eventually ended up at a little guesthouse set u away from the main house, with just a simple bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, garden and a little living room. It was a cozy place.

Edward and I spent hours talking about what we had done the past 7 years, though the topic of why I was chosen to enter the sisterhood never came up, mostly because I used all the diplomacy that Caro had taught me to avoid the subject. I didn't want our reunion to be spoiled by the fact that I had kept something from him for the year we had been together before the sisterhood took me away.

This is pretty much a filler chapter, I thought about writing more, but then I just decided to put all the information that you kind of needed to know but wasn't easy to put into the story into this chapter. It is highly likely that I will place the necessary information in other chapters and just make this into a fluffy scene between Bella and Edward.
