A/N: How's it going? As per the usual, I apologize for my extended period of absence. No excuse, other than my mere laziness. My sincere apologies.

Disclaimer: As previously stated, I don't own Breaking Dawn. That is the sole property of Ms. Stephenie Meyer. Have mercy on my soul. ;)

Edward, Jasper, Emmett, and Alice backed into the house again and turned to face us.

"They're going to run a perimeter, make sure Sam stays away," Edward explained, practically running back to Bella's side.

"Who's 'they?'" I asked.

"Jake and Seth," he explained. "He's another werewolf, and he followed Jake when he split off from the pack."

"Jake split off?" Bella asked weakly. "Like, he's not in the pack anymore?"

"Yes. He and Seth are sort of their own pack now, Jake as the leader." Bella looked elated, and for a moment I thought it would stretch the thin skin on her face so far it would split. Rosalie turned to Edward.

"Bree just predicted that Carlisle and Esme were ten minutes away," she reported, sounding like a little girl tattling to her parents. If I could still blush, I would have, as Edward glanced at me.

"Where are they?" he asked, as if to confirm.

"They just turned onto the road to the house," I told him. I didn't know how I knew, I just did. He listened for a moment, before widening his eyes.

"She's right."

"So she locates people?" Rosalie asked.

"Hey, Bree," Emmett interrupted. "Where's my green pen?"

"Emmett!" Rosalie hissed, elbowing him impatiently.

"In Carlisle's office," I replied. Again, it just made sense.

"I knew it!" he exclaimed, pounding his fist into his other hand.

"Wait, so she can locate anything?" Alice asked. Edward shrugged.

"Looks like it. We'll talk to Carlisle when he and Esme get back in . . . ?" The whole room turned to me expectantly.

"Five minutes," I finished. Sure enough, less than five minutes later, they walked in the door.

"What is Seth doing here?" Carlisle asked. Edward explained the whole splitting-of-the-pack situation, and then reported on my abilities. Carlisle looked at me and walked toward me.

"Bree, where is Jake?"

"On the southwest side of the house, about fifty yards away."

All of a sudden, we heard several howls in a row, and Edward sprinted to a window to see what had happened. Jake suddenly appeared momentarily before running back into the forest.

"It was a false alarm," Edward told us. "Seth was upset about something else, and he forgot we were listening for a signal. He's very young."

"Nice to have toddlers guarding the fort," Emmett muttered, flipping through channels again with his feet up.

"They've done us a great service tonight, Emmett," Carlisle told him, looking disappointed. "At great personal sacrifice."

"Yeah, I know. I'm just jealous. Wish I was out there," he said, rubbing Rosalie's back. She looked exhausted, even though I knew she couldn't be.

"Seth doesn't think Sam will attack now," Edward reported. "Not with us forewarned, and lacking two members of the pack."

"What does Jacob think?"

"He's not as optimistic." I rolled my eyes. Jacob was starting to come off as a cranky woman with PMS: depressed and annoying.

A/N: Also per the usual, I plead with you to leave a comment! Please! Por favor! S'il vous plait! Bitte! Per favore! Snalla! Alsjeblieft!
