Okay, so this is the new chapter to the story. Beware!!! There are only 2 more chapters left. This chapter and the next one are really good though!!!

Also, this is the first chapter that the Point of View changes in. It was complicated and very short had I not added another point of view. The next chapter also changes. You'll see why.

With that, enjoy the story. PLEASE REVIEW!!!! This chapter has been finished for a few days now, and I have not updated the story because of the lack of reviews. I got a total of 2 reviews for this chapter. Please help me out!!!

Chapter 15

Bella POV

When I awoke, Edward explained that his family had come by to help me out. He seemed determined to get my memory back.

When I came out of the room, I came into contact with the rest of the Cullens.

"Bella, do you remember anything more?" Carlisle asked.

"No," I said, upset.

"Don't feel bad. That's what we are here for," he explained.

Instead of keeping my calm, I exploded. "DON'T FEEL BAD? CARLISLE, I HAVE ONE WEEK TO REMEMBER EVERYTHING OR I WILL BE KILLED. HOW DO I NOT FEEL BAD?" I yelled.

Everyone just looked at Jasper, and I soon felt sleepy.

When I woke, I realized that I was on the sofa, and Edward was next to me.

"Bella, you're up!" Edward exclaimed.

The day passed uneventfully after that. I apologized to Carlisle, and that was the highlight.

At 5:45, Edward said that everyone except Esme would leave because they had to meet with the Volturi. They left soon after.

Esme was an awesome sitter. She never questioned, and she just made sure that everything was fine.

After about 2 hours, though, Esme seemed really weird. All of a sudden, she pushed me into the bedroom that no one used, and she stayed in front of the door.

"Esme, what is going on?" I asked, confused.

"Bella, I thought you should go to sleep for a little while. You look tired," she proclaimed.

"But, I'm not-"

"shh…"

With that, I lied in bed, but I could not fall asleep. I had slept most of the day, so I was not tired anymore.

After about 20 minutes, Esme unlocked the door, and we went out.

"What was that about?" I asked.

"Nothing. Don't worry about it," she said, picking up the phone and going out to the balcony.

I decided that I would try to stay away from her for the rest of the time today. Something was going on. I wondered briefly if there was an intruder, but I doubt that Esme would have heard him/her from that far away. Maybe it's one of those crazy traits starting to kick in.

Edward's Point of View

Practice had not technically started yet, although we were all here. We were talking about what was going to happen during the fight. Aro was still in the process of asking Alice questions when I got a phone call from Esme.

Esme. She was staying with Bella. A call from her would mean that something had happened with Bella. I immediately picked up the phone.

"Esme, what's wrong?" I asked, frantic. She wouldn't have called if it would not have been important.

"Edward, you need to come back now. A vampire was in the room," Esme stopped once I interrupted her.

I was beyond words, so I was surprised when I uttered a few.

"What do you mean? Is Bella okay?" I asked.

"Bella is fine. I ended up bringing her and me into the spare room that we don't use. I think it may have a tie to the killings in the city, though."

"Is it a scent that you have smelled before?" I asked, wondering.

"No. Never."

"Esme, keep her safe. Is anything missing from the hotel?" I asked, frantic. If there was something missing, we had the motive for the killers.

"Yes, Bella's pillow and some of her clothes… Why?"

"Esme, the army is out for BELLA!! Keep her safe while we are here. I will be here as soon as they let me go," I said.

"I will… Promise."

I walked back to the group, who was discussing the details on what to lure them here. Of course, they did not want the killings in the city.

Thanks to Alice, we all found out that all of the vampires were newborns except one: the trainer. Jasper would help us learn to kill them. After all, he had experience in this area.

The number of the vampires was uncertain, but it was always between 19 and 20. It seemed as if it would stay like that.

"Do you know what the target is, Alice?" Aro asked.

"I do," I quietly said, looking down.

"What?" Aro asked.

"I know who the target is," I said.

"Who?"

"Bella. Apparently, there was a newborn in the hotel earlier. It collected some of Bella's stuff for the scent."

"What?!" Carlisle asked, scared. He wanted Bella and Esme to be safe. "Is she okay?"

"She is fine. Esme made sure she was safe, but the problem is now that Bella is in danger," I explained.

Following this conversation, Jasper quickly showed us what to do.

Aro declared that practice was over soon after that. Practice would resume tomorrow at 6 again. This time, strategies would be discussed. I was to be left with Bella this time, which was no problem with me.

When I went back to the room, Esme explained that Bella had been asleep for a few minutes now. I decided not to wake her because she would want to know what happened with Esme.

Bella slept soundly that night. After a breakfast of cereal, Bella started asking me about what had happened last night.

"What was with Esme?" she asked.

"What do you mean?" I asked back, playing dumb.

"She locked us in a room for 20 minutes randomly," she said, looking down at the carpet.

"Bella, Esme wanted you to get some sleep because you looked like you needed it. She just cared about you," I said, repeating the lie that Esme had told me.

I hated lying to Bella like that. I didn't want to, but I didn't want her to know that there had been a newborn vampire intruder that was stalking her inside of the hotel. That would not have gone over nicely.

"Okay," she said. "What is going on today?"

"The rest of the family is going to another meeting. I don't know why the Volturi are having so many meetings, but I will be watching you today," I said yet another lie. I do know why, but I won't tell her that.

"I like that as long as you don't do what Esme did," Bella said.

"I will if you don't listen," I explained.

"Sure," Bella remarked.

The day had passed uneventfully. For that matter, many days were uneventful. There were practices every day, but I was told to stay with Bella. When Alice got back, she went over the day's practice. I didn't miss anything.

Today was Sunday; the deciding factor in Bella's life and the day of the fight with the newborns. Bella had until midnight. The newborns weren't that lucky, however. They had until 6 p.m., when Alice said that they would be here.

The plan was set: Bella and I hid in the forest to make sure that she would not be found. The rest of the group was to wait in the field. The opposing forces were to come at 6 exactly.

Everyone was in position. The only thing left was to wait for the force to come.

Hope you enjoyed it. It's really leading up to the fight.

Next chapter, find out about what happens in the fight and Bella's last day before another counsel meeting. That should be fun. :D

Please review! I'll update as soon as I fix the next chapter if you do :D
