Recap of last time we saw Jasper and the Cullen's...

"She then left both Jake and Bella there. Jake had turned back into his human form by then and crawled over to her. She was only able to hold out her arms as he collapsed beside her in tremors. It was if he was having a seizure the way he was thrashing around. I'd never felt so helpless in my life and we weren't able to come back down until Sam and them got there to burn the red headed leech's accomplice.

"Throughout Bella's change, one of us always stayed with her, but we took Jake away because he was dead. Sam was the one on guard duty when she woke up. She had burned for 7 days and would only scream when someone thought of Jake's name. She didn't stay. She just ran and jumped off of the edge of the cliff in La Push. That was the last time that any of us had ever seen or heard from her." He admitted. "We faked her death and buried her with Jake and her son that she miscarried while she was going through the change. We figured that they would want to be together and that she would want to be next to Charlie, even if her body wasn't really in there. It was for a memorial purpose."

We all stayed silent for a long time after that as we stood there with the Wolf Shifter, taking in everything that we had learned and mourning for our part in the horrific story.


Chapter 6

(Jasper's POV: Forks Cemetery; Forks, Washington)

I could feel everyone's emotions as well as my own. I looked at Seth and realized that we had not only caused Bella to change, but for their rightful leader to be killed along with the start of their next generation of shifters. I clenched my eyes tightly as I tried to think of something that we could do to make amends.

I was suddenly assaulted with the onslaught of a whole lot of rage. My eyes snapped open and I turned to the forest line that was not too far from the cemetery fence. Seth's head jerked up and towards the same direction as he stood and winced. I could tell that he was in trouble, but I believe he told us, because we didn't know. I moved to stand beside him as I felt my contacts disintegrate, because of the venom of my eyes. My eyes were now blood red just like the blood I now took. I felt the guilt from Edward, but there was a smugness in his emotions that was always there, even as we left Forks 10 years ago.

"What's going on?" Carlisle asked holding Esme to his side.

Edward growled. "The Alpha and his sister are coming for him." His eyes went to Seth. "He told us when he was told to keep his mouth shut. He will be in trouble."

I growled as I moved in front of the boy as if to protect him. I wouldn't let anyone take their anger out on him, because he was only trying to be friendly.

I watched as a male and female came out. The man only had shorts on, but the girl had a white tank top with shredded cutoff jeans. Her eyes were trained on Seth. I could see the sibling resemblance in her face and the way she stood. I waited until they began to speak before I spoke to them.

"What are you doing, Seth?" The female snarled as she moved forward. I moved to block her. "And you! I can see that you feed from humans, so if you don't move I will take you down here and now!" She started to shake in anger. I sent a calming wave to cool her off.

"Why don't we talk about this?" Carlisle moved to my side. "Jasper is working for the vampire royalty and they do not care for human life, but Jasper has only fed from criminals. The others do not feed from humans, like the agreement." I could tell that he was trying to plead my case.

"You were told not to come back in the first place. You only cause trouble and pain when you stay here." Sam looked controlled on the outside but inside he was fighting for control of his wolf side. "Now that you have heard what happened because of you leeches, I think it's time for you to leave." His voice was full of authority.

Carlisle nodded as he touched my arm. "We will be leaving." I backed away but didn't take my eyes off the wolves. "We only wished to find out what had happened. Alice was unable to see the events of Bella's life after we left. We believe that she could not see past your pack. If we had known what had happened, we would have come back to help."

Sam nodded curtly as he ran back into the woods. Seth and his sister followed, but Seth looked back and smiled sadly as he disappeared from view. I looked at the others. "We need to talk about this. Follow me." I told them as I ran south.

I could hear the others following, but I could only think about getting to Peter's house in the Sequoia Forest in central California. It was a small cabin, but was big enough for the 9 of us if they were there, which I'd hope they would be.

As I ran, I thought about why I was feeling as though my heart broke when I heard that Bella had been pregnant by the dog. I shook my head as we ran faster. It would be sunny soon and we needed to get to the house before any humans saw us running, even though they would only see a blur.


(Peter's POV: Somewhere in the New Mexico desert)

My mate and I were heading to the cabin in Sequoia National Park. It was in a place where very few humans even knew how to get to. I had seen only a hand full of humans there the whole time I owned the piece of land. Most humans stumbled upon the cabin during a winter storm.

At this moment, I just knew that Charlotte and I were going to be needed and we needed to get to the cabin before the Major arrived. We had heard of the uproar in the South and finally we were able to see her from a distance. I was rather shocked to see that the Warlord that was more feared than Maria was in fact one Isabella Swan. We had managed to speak with her briefly and even made a friend in her.

"Baby, are ya gonna tell me what we're doin'?" Charlotte had her eyes narrowed. "Why are we runnin' all the way to Cali when we know that the Major and the animal feeders will be in the south soon enough?" She had her head tilted to the side with her arms crossed sternly over her chest.

"They need to understand that young Isabella has changed due to the fact that her choices were taken from her when the mind rapist and fortune seer decided to leave her." I cut my eyes to her. "It was their decision that brought Lil' Bit to the point that she is at now."

Charlotte growled at the mention of 'Alice'. "What are we gonna do?" She asked.

"We're gonna open the Doc's eyes to the fact that his little golden boy and prized daughter are not who they seem ta be." I smirked looking at her out of my eye.

"This should be fun." Charlotte snickered as she pushed herself harder.

I snarled playfully as I pushed myself faster. My little mate had speed on her side because she was still as fast as she was the day she was turned. Her strength decreased and her speed never wavered, but it never increased either like the Major's did; it just stayed the same. I was rather glad when Charlotte and I were able to escape, but when I went back for the Major I was completely shocked at the darkness in his dead heart.

Jasper was more than a sire and friend. He was my venom brother and brother in arms. If I ever needed anything from him, he would do anything to give it to me. In return, I would do anything for him. Charlotte was the same way. Well, after she became more comfortable around him, because of the fact the only time she had ever known him was as the Major of Maria's army and the South.


(Bella's POV: Texas; Maria's old compound)

I was standing there watching the new newborns spar amongst each other while I waited for Nick and Sadie to arrive. They were almost here, because I could sense Nick easily. For being so young, he had a very useful power. However, I never let him use it, because he could hurt someone. Faia asked if she could help him with it, but I just told her that when the time was right I would let him train, but until he asked, he could be a child like he should be and not a weapon. She had dropped the question immediately, because she knew that I would protect Nick, and now Mika, with my own life.

"They're here!" Faia called to me from the entrance of the compound.

I smiled as I looked over and noticed that the newborn couple was taking care of Mika already by helping her learn things that Maria had deemed unneeded. "Mika, come here please." I waved her over. "Bring Natalie and Kirk." (The newborn couple.)

Mika jumped up and rushed over to me while Natalie and Kirk made their way over but only slower. She stopped a few feet from me but jumped behind me when she spotted Sadie and Nick in the distance. I hugged her to my side as I watched Sadie and Nick make their way to the compound. Nick was smiling widely as he ran up and jumped into my arms. I chuckled as I placed him on the ground. Sadie hissed at him playfully as she chased him for a few moments.

"Nick, come here, I have someone I would like you to meet." I called to him. Nick and Sadie stopped and came over to me.

"What's up?" Nick asked smirking. I shook my head.

"You have a sister." I placed my hand on Mika's back.

Nick looked me over. "You didn't look pregnant?" His eyes were gleaming with glee as he snickered.

"Alright you!" I playfully snapped at him as I picked him up by his ankles. "I also have you two nannies to watch over you and your sister." I raised a brow in question.

Nick nodded. "Ok, where are they?" He looked around still upside down. "Can ya put me down?" He looked up at me.

I placed him on the ground. "Natalie, Kirk." I summoned them. "This is Nick," I pulled Nick to my right side, "and you already know Mika, but these are the two that you will be tending to. I do not want them hunting; I will bring their 'food' back for them. Understood?" I told both Natalie and Kirk then looked down at Mika and Nick.

Nick pouted. "You mean that I can't hunt anymore?" He batted his eyes.

"You will stay at the compound unless you are with either myself or Natalie or Kirk. Do I make myself understood?" I used my stern voice which Nick knew that he couldn't argue with me. "Maria is pissed that I took her territory and will be back for revenge in due time. I would go crazy if I lost either of you. You need to keep each other and your nannies safe." I bent down and pulled both Mika and Nick into my arms.

Nick knew about Samuel and Jacob. "Don't worry, mama." He kissed my cheek. "I'll make sure that Mika knows everything." He smiled.

I nodded standing. "Alright, go play, but keep in sight of Natalie and Kirk." I smiled at them as I swatted them on the butt. "Don't go too far!"

They both squealed as they took off with Natalie and Kirk on their heels. I placed a barrier around the compound until we were ready to leave. It would let me know if any vampire that was not already in the compound entered it and was a threat. I tilted my head to the side and watched the newborns spar. Most of them were good at fighting, but I could tell that there were still some that needed training. I looked over the newborns and froze.

A tall dark skinned female was sparing with a male and was doing rather good keeping him from hurting her. I looked closer and gasped. It was Angela. What in the world is she doing here? The last time I saw her was in school before I graduated. I knew that she was heading to Texas for collage, but I didn't know that she had been taken. Smirking, I strolled up to her. If she was in the south and a vampire, then I knew that she would recognize me. I stopped about 5 feet from the pair and watched as Angela stiffened as she turned to look at me.

Her eyes grew wide as she stood there frozen. "Bella?" Her voice was just above a whisper. "Is that really you?"

I nodded. "Of course, who else would it be?" I tilted my head to the side. "Why don't you finish your training and I will speak to you after we head back to our compound."

Angela nodded as she turned and started sparing again. I didn't know if seeing Angela would be a good thing or bad. Whichever it is, I would make due. I was still the most feared warlord in the south and no one could hurt me any longer. I was a vampire and a damn good one at that. I had my family that I was denied for so long. Smirking, I headed to Maria's old quarters. I needed to know how she kept her own personal space because it would show a side of her that she would most likely not show to any other person.


(Marcus' POV: On the Plane to America; Somewhere over Louisiana)

I have been thinking about my human family since my mate was killed. I believed I knew who killed Aro's sister and my mate but Aro didn't have the proof. I sighed as I looked at the window. I could see that the light blue string attached to me was glowing brighter the closer we were to America. I could feel that whoever it was was no longer human, but I will do anything in my power to make him or her comfortable.

When Aro showed me the image of Iz the War Goddess of the South I had to admit that she looked like my human Mother, Isabel. I was turned at the age of 35, thus my mother was dead long before I was turned but the only human memory that I have was of her telling me that I would be very important one day. I shook my head as I looked over at Jane and Demetri. They were both with me in case I were to be attacked. I knew how to fight, but without my mate by my side I have no reason to fight. All my fight went out of me as I held the pile of ashes that use to be my mate.

I looked down at the ring that I had made from her ashes. It was a rare thing to do but I had heard about it and thus I had a diamond ring made with a sapphire on each side. My whole life I have tried to find a reason for my existence and I might have just found the reason. If this Iz was who I thought she was she was my niece. I did have a sister but she was kept human. I kept an eye on my human family but when they left this side of the world I lost touch.

I prayed to the Gods that I abandoned long ago that I would find my niece, Isabella Swan.

"Master?" Demetri called to me.

I turned to look at him. "Yes, Demetri?" I answered with my normal bored look. Most of the guards knew that it wasn't much of a bored look but one of pain.

"We will be landing shortly." Jane told me.

I nodded as I buckled up, not that I needed. I could only hope that I would be in time to save the last of my line. It was the only thing that brought peace to my tortured soul.


A/N: Well, there's another twist! Angela Webber is now one of the newborns in Isabella's camp! Any thoughts on what will happen with her there? We also revealed who Marcus's descendant is; Bella. Also, Peter and Charlotte are getting ready to meet up with the Major and the Cullen's and will be telling them the rest of Isabella's story! Any thoughts?!
