After Bella had been dropped off at her house by Leah, she immediately went up to her bedroom and sat herself down on the edge of the bed to go over everything that happen that night and how she was going to deal with it. Everything was up in the air for her right now and she really didn't like the feeling of not knowing how to cope with what was basically going to go down the next day. What she did know was that Leah Clearwater had imprinted on her. That she was Leah's soulmate, not Edwards like she had originally thought. The second thing she knew was that Edward was going to freak out when he learned that she had been imprinted on by one of the wolves. And not just any wolf, Leah. His family would most likely shut her out for good this time and let Victoria have her because of the pain she was about to put Edward through.

Did she have to put Edward through any pain, though? Edward couldn't read her mind, like he could everyone else. Maybe she could just ignore her feelings for Leah and still be with the man she thought she wanted from the first moment she had seen him walk into the lunch room back at school. But if she did that, how would Leah react to being rejected? She had already been rejected by Sam, could she just hurt her like that so that she didn't have to cause Edward any heartache? This was proving more and more difficult the more she thought about it cause she doesn't want to hurt either of them but no matter the out come, one was going to get hurt. But who? The more she thought about having to choose between Edward or Leah, the more she started to realize that Leah was winning every single time. Bella couldn't believe that her feelings for the other girl were so strong that they were overriding everything she had and felt with Edward. And Leah had only imprinted on her a few hours ago.

Then of course there was Jacob.

Jacob was sweet, kind and considerate. Just like Edward. The two never realized just how much they were alike when it came to their feelings for Bella and she loved them both but every time she thought about having to choose been the two guys, Edward always won. But then, if you were to throw Leah into the mix, it was her. Now matter how hard Bella tried to think about all the love she had felt for Edward and all the things he had down to make her fall in love with him, they would just fade away and new feelings would take their place. Feelings for Leah. Like when Bella would think back to all those nights when Edward would lay down beside her as she slept, keeping his distance of course because of his touch being so cold. The memory would then shift into a dream where he would finally move closer, wrapping his arm around her and spoon her from behind but then his embrace would become warm causing Bella to turn around, only to be met with the sight of Leah holding her, not Edward.

The next day, Bella got herself out of bed and ready for the day ahead of her. Nerves were overwhelming her because she knew that Edward was going to be at her house any second to pick her up so that they could go over to his house so that they could spend time together before she would have to go back under the Wolves protection while Edward and his family could have their turn to hunt and look for Victoria. When she heard Edward pull up out front, she walked outside and up to him with a smile on her face and she leaned up and hugged him but did not kiss him like she normally would have. It just felt wrong to kiss him now. It felt like she was cheating on Leah or something. She couldn't really explain it but she just might have to with the way that Edward was looking at her. Bella sighed, she had been really hoping that she wouldn't have to tell Edward about what happened last night and maybe explain to him later.

"Are you alright?" Edward asked curiously, looking at her as if trying his hardest to read what was going on inside her mind even though he knew it was going to be useless.

"I'm fine." Bella assured him, giving him a small smile in the hopes to convince him.

"You sure?"

She gave him a nod while shoving her hands into her jacket pockets. "I'm sure. Why?"

Edward just shook his head some as he walked her over to the passenger side door and opening it up for her. "It's just...Alice.." He began but trailed off, looking at Bella as if he were trying to figure out what he wanted to say to her with out freaking her out.

"What about Alice?" Bella questioned a bit concerned that the Pixie had gotten a vision of her and Leah last night or something.

"She can't see your future anymore, Bella." Edward confessed as he looked into her brown eyes. She could tell he was scared for her. As if fate was telling him he would not succeed in protecting her from Victoria. "We thought at first it must be because you were with Jacob and his pack last night that it was messing with her vision but this morning...she still couldn't see anything."

"Weird." Was all Bella could bring herself to say. She knew he was worried about her but what could she say? Well, she could go with the truth but she was scared. Scared of Edwards reaction. Would he be angry at her or would he become depressed? Hurt over knowing that he lost her. She didn't know and she almost didn't want to know.

Edward just continued to look at her, as if she were going to say something that would put ease to his mind but she never did, which prompted him to speak again. "Bella, did something happen last night with Jacob?"

"No." She shook her head. "We got into a fight. Leah had to take me home." She shrugged, not really lying to him but not giving him the full truth.

"What did you two fight about?"

"Same thing as we always argue over." She explained nonchalantly. "Me not choosing him."

With that being said, Edward just gave a nod then helped her inside the vehicle before shutting the door, moving around to the other side and climbing in then pulling away from the Swan residence and towards the Cullen home.

Once at the Cullen house, Edward escorted Bella inside as he held onto her hand which felt wrong to her but she tried to fight the feeling and go with it like she had always done in the past. It was her boyfriend showing affection, something she always loved about him. As they made their way up the stairs and towards the living room where they saw Carlisle, Emmett and Jasper sitting down watching the television. It was a developing story about violence up in the Seattle area. The couple didn't get the full report like the others had but they heard some of it.

"Seattle is in a state of terror. Police are baffled by the escalating murders and disappearances, Theories range from a vicious new gang to a wildly active serial killer. Reporting live-" The female news reporter said before the tv was shut off.

"It's getting worse. We're going to have to do something." Carlisle said after shutting the tv off and setting the remote down.

"It takes more than one of our kind to cause the damage they're reporting." Jasper explained, his eyes still resting on the blank tv screen before turning and looking at Bella and Edward. "Quite a few more. And they're undisciplined, conspicusous."

"It's newborns." Edward said, figuring out where Jasper was going with his words. When he spoke, it caused everyone to look his way. Even Bella.

"What, like new vampires?" She asked, hoping that she was understanding correctly.

"In the first few months after the change." Edward nodded softly.

"That's when we're at our most uncontrollable. Vicious. Insane with thirst." Jasper explained further for Bella, so that she may understand what they were going to be dealing with soon.

"Something to look forward to." Emmett added as he looked at Bella with a small smile on his lips.

Hearing Emmett say that caused a sick feeling to creep its way throughout her body. Usually when it was meantioned that she would be a vampire soon enough, she felt a rush of excitement because it meant that she would live forever with Edward and his family. It was something she was looking forwards to. Being happy with the one she loved but now, it meant a lonely life where she would be without her soulmate. Leah. She glanced up at Edward who was looking at her intently, wondering if she was having second thoughts which is what he really wanted. Good thing he is unable to read her thoughts because Leah is filling not his like it used to be.

"No one's trained these newborns, but this isn't random." Jasper spoke, looking over at Carlisle.

"Someone's creating an army." Carlisle concluded as he glanced at Jasper.

Emmett jumps up from his place on the couch and looked at Bella and Edward. "Well, now we're definitely going to Seattle."

"An army of vampires?" Bella questioned.

"And they've been created to fight someone." Jasper nodded.

"We're the only clan even close to Seattle." Edward said, thinking about where these newborns could be headed.

"Regardless of why they were made, if we don't put a stop to them, the Volturi will." Carlisle informed them all before looking down some, thinking out loud to mainly himself. "I'm surprised they've let it go on this long."

"Well, maybe their behind it." Edward guessed. Thinking a moment before speaking. "In Italy, I read Aro's mind. He wants me and Alice to join him, but he knows we'll never choose him as long as our family's still alive."

"An army could solve that for him." Jasper agreed.

Their time at the Cullen house was cut a bit short when Bella decided that she wanted to head home for a while which really meant that she just wanted to get away from Edward so that she could think more about what was going on with the Vampire army that was coming their way. Whether it was Aro who was sending them to kill all the Cullens so that Alice and Edward would join him or perhaps it was Victoria who was after Bella. Whatever it was, she needed to think about what she really wanted or who she really wanted because lives were going to be at stake.

Walking into her house, she made her way into the kitchen to see her father sitting at the table with notes and papers every where and a flier of that missing teenager named Riley Biers. It was a case her father had been working on and he wasn't having any luck with finding this kid.

"Hey." Bella greeted as she walked over to her dad and looked down at the papers in front of him. "Did you eat dinner yet?"

Charlie looked up at her and shook his head, he looked tired as if he hadn't gotten much sleep in the past few days. "No, I haven't." He sighed before pushing the flier towards Bella some so she could see it. "This kid, Riley Biers, disappeared over a year ago, and his poor parents have been papering Seattle with these things ever since."

"You think they should just give up?" Bella asked curiously.

"Well, I wouldn't if it were you." Charlie expressed as he looked up at her then wrapping his arm around her and pulling her close to him. "Not ever."

The fact that she had been having second thoughts lately about becoming a vampire was because she just didn't feel right about living such a long life with someone she no longer really loved like she had. That and she wouldn't be able to share that long life with the one she truly would like to spend all eternity with and that wasn't Edward. Sure, she always wanted this life so she could be with Edward but that has changed now and hearing her dad confess that he would never give up looking for her if anything happened to her just added another reason why she didn't want to go through with the change.

With all the thinking she was doing, she felt the sudden urge to see Leah. She hadn't seen her all day and she was almost beginning to feel a bit depressed about it. Which was weird, seeing she's never felt this way about anyone before. There were times she missed Edward but never did she feel like this before though. Taking in a deep breath and shaking the feeling away before making her way up the stairs and into her bedroom only to stop dead in her tracks when she saw Leah standing by the opened window, waiting for her.

Chapter 3!

Sorry this chapter seemed a bit boring. Basically it was just a filler. Don't worry though, more Leah and Bella scenes are coming up!

Please review!
