Hi guys. For all of you who have been praying for my piano teacher, I'd like to tell you that it was very much appreciated. Unfortunately, she died Monday. I had been taking from her for ten years. The church will announce me as the official piano player but it'll be a long time before I will ever reach her proficiency. Once again I thank you all for your prayers. Never-the-less, here is your story.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

"You're just going to let them go?! After you waged war with them?! What are you thinking?!" Emma jumped down from her hold on Jake once they heard the complaints of the largest vampire. "What are we supposed to say, We're sorry we tried to kill all of you, let's be friends?! I don't think that's going to go over to well." Jake pushed Emma behind him once they were in the opening. Now was no time to take chances.

"I was stupid to start this. We all just need to talk things out like normal adults." Edward replied.

"We're not normal. We're all either vampires or werewolves with the exception of Bella and Emma. And they're mates to vampires and werewolves. We're far from normal!!" Emmett had his hands thrown up in the air. Edward shook his head.

"I realize that but we all have the ability to talk reasonably. We're not beasts...completely." Bella was molded to his side with her face hidden in his shirt. She stiffened when she heard the word "beast". Carlisle had stepped forward and had put a hand on Emmett's forearm.

"Edward's right. It's needed to be this way all along." He turned toward Sam.

"I'd love to be able to repeal the treaty, but that would take cooperation...from both sides." he stated.

"What is this even about anymore?" a weak voice said from behind the coven. Everyone looked to where Bella was emerging from behind the group of vampires. "Sure, you're mortal enemies. But it seems like, at least, some of us want to change that. Is it so hard?"

"If it was that ease, don't you think we'd do it?" argued Quil. "I, for one, don't like having to fight with someone. But it's the simple facts of nature. Our bodies repulse each other. Smells, sights, it's all wrong to us. Plus, the only reason there are werewolves is to kill vampires." Bella stepped over to him; over the line. Every time they had fought they had both been bordering the line.

"It doesn't matter!" she pointed behind her toward the Edward and the coven. "Edward loves the smell of my blood. It's the reason he's drawn to me. And even though his body tells him to eat me, he doesn't because his desire for me is greater than his desire for my blood. And, just for the record, the reason werewolves are here is not to kill vampires, it's to protect people from vampires who threaten them. There are no such people in this area." The pack lay silent at this statement. She had a point.

"You lured me into this with the possibility that Emma might be targeted. That's the only reason I joined you in this false fight. Is Emma still a target to you?" Before Edward could reply, another one of the pack spoke.

"I have a wife at home." Sam stated. "I've already caused her enough harm and it would be a lot worse if a vampire attacked her. Will she ever be threatened because of our hostility toward one another?"

"Yeah, I've got a kid who I've imprinted on. It be pretty bad if she never became old enough to know." Said Quil. The coven became humbled by the fact that they brought families into this. Jacob was becoming impatient by the fact that they weren't answering. He stepped forward with Emma at his side.

"Would you be willing to make a new treaty?" Everyone's breath caught in their throat. It was nice to talk about but no one really thought the were going to get along. Werewolves, vampires, hello? Jacob rolled his eyes.

"I am willing to withdraw the treaty and create a new one which terminates the line of territory and allows the werewolf pack and Cullen coven to associate without threat to the other." Carlisle faced the others then nodded. One by one, they crossed the line as Carlisle shook hands with Sam and Jacob.

"Of course it will take some time to make an official treaty and to...get used to it." Carlisle said. Sam nodded and a slight chuckle escaped his lips.

"Yes." he simply said.

I don't know how some of you will feel about this. I don't know how I feel about this. I know some of you will be like "There's a line. There's werewolves and then there's vampires. They don't mix." But hopefully most of you will accept that it's my story and, as such, I write it strictly for your entertainment. So entertain the thought!

I started writing this Tuesday and it is now Friday. Mrs. Peggy's funeral was today but the grave site funeral will be tomorrow. There were a lot of tears, including mine. We'll be looking for a teacher soon but it'll be hard to find one like her. One that teaches and cares. If you know of any in the southern Arkansas area, let me know.

I hope you're still enjoying the story and keep reading and reviewing!!
