Seth's POV

I waited anxiously, my heart racing. This would be fun, I knew it. A buzzing energy soared through me, tingling in my limbs. I was shivering with excitement, and everyone around knew it.

Uugh, Seth calm down! You're annoying as hell! Groaned Leah, glaring at me, her golden fur swaying slightly in the wind.

Leah, leave the kid alone. At least he's got enthusiasm. I mean, why are you even here? You hate the Cullens.

I smiled. I could always count on Jacob to save me.

Oh, and Seth, do you mind not shivering so violently please? It is kinda annoying.

I groaned, Who's side are you on, Jake?

Leah turned to Jake and growled.

I don't have much other option, do I? You didn't give me a choice, you know.

Jake's reply was just as bitter-

Fine, I'm giving you the option now. Go. We don't need you. Why don't you go buy some new clothes or something? You wear the same thing every day.

A new, silky voice entered the conversation, aloud rather than mentally.

"This isn't the best time for that. Please, we need to stay focused." I turned my head to see Edward glance at us anxiously, then turn back to his low conversation with Alice.

Their mouths moved at incredible speeds, and the words came flowing out like water. I could barely make out what they were saying, but I could pick out chunks.

What's going on? I thought loudly, aiming my question at Edward.

He glanced back quickly. "It's a few miles away. We have a couple of minutes maximum."

His voice was deep and calm, although he spoke quickly, as if panicked.

Why worry, Edward? If she is coming to harm us, well, just look at what she's faced with, we could kill her in an instant! I chuckled as best as I could in this Wolf body. It came out sounding more like a cough.

Edward looked back to Alice, a trace of anxiety in his eyes. Without turning back to me he said,

"She knows nearly everything about us."

His voice was loud and clear, and he caught everyone's attention with his words.

He began to speak to us as a group, giving us any information we might need.

"She has a... gift." His voice was undecided, confused. "She knows about every single one of us. She knows our names, our ties- she even knows about the wolves."

He flashed another look back at us.

"So?" Bella's unmistakable voice chimed in. "What difference does this make? So, she knows about us, why is she coming?"

Edward's eyes closed, and he let out a sigh.

"Why?" Echoed Rosalie.

It seemed since Renesmee had been born, her and Bella had gotten much much closer. They did actually seem like sisters now, and naturally were concerned about this unexpected visitor, not only because of the Cullen family, but because of Renesmee.

They thought that this vampire was visiting out of curiosity about the child, but they were scared for Renesmee's safety, above all things.

Edward's eyes suddenly opened, panicked.

"Look, all you need to know is she intends to do us no harm." He rushed the words as quickly as he could without going so fast as us wolves couldn't hear.

The expressions were the same on everybody's faces. Statues filled the clearing, each bearing the same alarmed look.

Edward nodded solemnly, answering the silent question.

She's here.

Yes, Seth, we know. Shut up. Leah moved in front of me, perhaps protectively or perhaps just so I wouldn't get over-excited.

I listened hard, concentrating, rewarded by the sound of quick footsteps slowing to a human-paced walk. They stopped for the briefest of moments, and then two loud ones followed. They were closer. She'd just stepped into the clearing.

Uugh, I couldn't see a thing.

I tried stretching up on my toes to see above Leah, but it was no use.

Leah! I moaned. I can't see! MOVE!

The wolf in front of me moved to the right slightly, giving me just enough space to squeeze my head in.

I pushed my head through the gap and looked straight ahead.

Oh. My thought echoed into the silence.

Lily's POV

I stepped into the clearing, letting my eyes quickly adjust to the knew light levels.

I looked at the other end of the clearing in awe.

I was here. They were here. I'd actually made it.

My smile widened, and I let it follow up to my eyes.

They were so, so... so perfect. Exactly as I'd seen before, except they were not split apart, divided amongst the clearing as Nahuel had seen them. They were close, in their own little bubble.

As soon as I'd thought that I giggled. They probably were in a bubble. Bella's bubble to be exact. Which, I'd found, was very strong today.

I tried to find a weak spot, knowing it was useless. How I longed to see inside their heads.

A golden-haired man stepped forward, his face radiated beauty. Edward.

He smiled and went to speak. "Welcome,"

Another stepped forward only a second after Edward. He came to Edward's side and flashed a breathtaking smile. Carlisle! I grinned.

Carlisle spoke, his voice caressing my ears. "Welcome, young one,"

I closed the gap between us instantaneously using my superhuman speed.

Perhaps too quickly, as I watched the others leap into defensive poses around what I presumed to be Renesmee, but I couldn't be sure as she was shielded from my view.

The only one who stayed in his original place was Edward, who chuckled quietly.

"Oh. Sorry," I blushed.

"Don't be, really, It's fine." He said the last part more to his family than to me.

"Well," He started, "You've had quite a journey?"

I grinned and nodded. Aah, I loved the fact he could know what I was thinking, but I was also very frustrated with the fact I couldn't hear his thoughts.

Edward clearly picked up on this and turned slightly.

"Bella, love. Can you pull the shield back please?" He asked in an adoring tone.

I glanced up to see who he was speaking to and immediately saw the reason for his devoted voice.

Bella Cullen stood surrounded by other vampires, the bundle in her arms was obviously Renesmee, who had been wrapped in a large coat that prevented her from seeing me.

That was slightly upsetting, to know they thought I was a threat, but I understood.

Bella's anxious gaze flickered between Edward and I, her golden eyes reflecting the light.

Her hair was waves of chocolate brown, that flowed lightly down to her shoulders. Her skin was a snowy-white, and despite the fact I knew it would be rock solid to touch, it looked soft and inviting.

Her rose-tinted lips had curled into an anxious frown and her brows furrowed.

She's beautiful. I thought.

Isn't she? Agreed another voice I had not expected to hear.

It seemed Bella had trusted me enough to let her shield slip away from Edward and this was a nice thought.

Hello, Edward

Hello. Edward grinned. I don't believe I know your name?

"My name is Lily," I said out-loud, so everyone would know.

Well then, hello Lily. Greeted Edward. May I ask, why did you come?

I frowned. This wasn't what I'd expected. Did they want me to leave?

Someone shifted their weight- Jasper. Any moment I would feel my confusion and upset lulling gently away- Jasper's little way of helping.

I thought you knew, Edward? Would you like me to leave? I am very sorry to have caused your family any trouble.

I turned on the ball of my foot to run away.

"No, no." Edward said aloud. "Stay. I was just curious. You have many reasons locked up in your head, they are very confusing, I was just wondering which one is right."

I hesitated, but then turned back and smiled.

"Thank you," I looked back to Bella and Rensemee.

"I'm sorry if it seemed like I was dangerous. I promise I'm really not."

Bella looked at Edward, verifying my words.

He nodded back at her and spoke once more, "It's okay, love. She won't hurt Rensemee- she's a half-breed too."

Thanks everyone who reviewed my last chapter! It really encouraged me ^^ Well, thought I'd end on "she's a half-breed too" although it was very obvious :L Hoped you all enjoyed it! Please review! Much love XXXX
