************ I DO NOT OEN TWILIGHT OR THE DARK-HUNTER SERIES********

Edward. They're gonna kill him. THEY'RE GONNA KILL HIM!

I was frozen where I was standing. I couldn't breath. What if we were too late? I wasn't going to lose him no matter what. I snapped out of it and looked around. I could feel the power and adrenaline surging through me. They were watching my reaction, probably waiting for me to cry. Not gonna happen. I slowly smiled my the smile I used just before I made my kill. I looked at my boys. They smiled back. This was gonna be fun.

"I do believe I'm in a mood to party. Shall we?" My hair streaking blue as I walked over to them. We stood together and flashed to Italy.

Ash teleported us to the underground tunnel outside Volterra. Since none of us ever been farther than this point, we were walking in from here. Once inside Ash froze those who were our path and we made our way to the main room. Nate flung open the door and the boys walked in first to form a semi-circle in front of us. The whole room seemed to freeze. I walked through the circle with Ash beside me. In a span of 10 seconds I saw Edward in the middle of the room convulsing in pain with Alice on her knees besides him holding her head. Emmett was by the wall being held back by Carlisle and Rose. Jasper was on the ground being held down by three different vampires. All but Edward and Alice realized something was going on and looked up at me. I smiled at them and walked into the room. Dev and Nate ported to Emmett and Jasper, they killed the vampires holding them. I flung out shields around them all and walked before the main vampire sitting on the seat in the middle of the room. None of the vampires moved from their spots. They might of been in shock.

I smiled my smile and said "Do you know what really ticks me off?" I looked straight into his eyes. "Someone messing with something that belongs to me." I heard a shriek and a hiss from the little girl on my right. She was the one torturing Edward and Alice. She had to pay. I looked at her and ported to her. I was behind her and I grabbed her hair. All around me chaos broke out. Everyone was fighting except the main guy in the middle. He just sat there amused. I hissed into the girl's ear.

"You are a bad little girl. I think you should be punished." I felt my fingers tingle and I touched her temple, I was sending her own power through her head. She started to shake and her eyes rolled back. She slipped from my arms and fell to the floor. Ash was fighting three vampires and Nate, Vance and Dev were fighting anyone they could find. The Cullens raced to Edward and Alice. Emmett and Jasper joined us in the fighting. I walked back to the main guy. He slowly looked at me and said

"I wish to know your name before you die." He stood up and a step to me. His eyes were glowing red.

"Just call me one ticked off woman." I pulled my daggers out lunged at him. He moved so fast I only nicked his arm. He laughed at me and flew at me. We went rolling on the ground and he ended above me. I kicked my legs up and and threw him off. He landed beside me and punched me in the jaw. I shoved my dagger into his leg and twisted. I heard a hiss from somewhere behind me. I jumped up and ported behind his back, he was ready for me and he reached back and flipped me over his head. I landed on the ground, and jarred my left side. I felt a searing pain go up my arm, I couldn't move it. Someone grabbed my legs and pulled me along the ground. I looked at them and saw it was Alice and Esme. I saw Edward, Emmett and Jasper jump on the guy I was fighting. They were tearing him apart. I looked around the room and saw body parts all over. Someone had started a bon fire in the room and everyone was adding the body parts to it. I noticed some were hurt but everyone was okay. I stood up and winced. Carlisle and Edward ran over to me to see what was wrong, my arm was pulled from my socket. Carlisle twisted and rammed my arm back into its socket. OUCH!

By now everyone had come to stand around me. I noticed my boys and Ash standing to the side. Everyone except Edward was hugging me. I was really happy to see them. I called over Nate, Dev, Vance and Ash and introduced them to the Cullens. Everyone was saying hello and talking about the fight. I felt someone pull my arm and walk me backwards. The moment I've been dreading. I looked up at Edward to see him smiling that beautiful half smile. It sent my heart fluttering. I didn't say anything, I waited for him to speak.

"Bella, what's going on? Why are you here and who are those guys?"

"Edward a lot has happened since you left. Everything is different...I'm different." I told him. He reached up and touched the blue streak in my hair.

"Am I yours Bella?" He asked softly. How could he ask that?

I just looked at him and raised one eyebrow. And I said "We will talk later."

I ran back to the guys and jumped on them. "You guys were awesome!" We were excited we just took down the vampire elites. And everyone lived. Ash decided it was time to leave. We all ported out and went back to our apartment complex.

We ended up in Vance's apartment. Everyone settled in and started speaking at once. Ash quieted everyone and said

"I'll be back in the morning for Edward, Nate and Dev. Bella and Vance will stay here and patrol as usual. I'm sure you a lot of questions but I need to leave." And he flashed out.

Everyone was silent and looking at us.

I wasn't sure where to begin so Nate spoke up and started to explain about the Dark-Hunters and what we did. About our group and that we hunted down those threatening humanity. I could see they were confused as to why I was there.

I was reluctant to tell how how I became a DH, I didn't want them to know the pain Edward caused me. I felt weak , human again. But I did. I could see the hurt in a few eyes, and in one I could see utter devastation. He was beginning to see the depth of my pain. My willingness to die. I quickly let them know I wasn't that girl anymore. I was no longer weak.

We were talking for hours when I noticed my guys were tired so I called it a night. We were splitting the couples up and putting some in each of our apartments. Vance got Emmett and Rose. Dev got Carlisle and Esme. Nate got Jasper and Alice. And surprise, surprise I got Edward. I walked to the door when Jasper stopped me.

"Bella, I'm really sorry about trying to attack you at your birthday party." He began.

"Jasper, I wish you would forget that. It wasn't your fault. I don't blame you." I could feel everyone's eyes on me.

"It was my fault. I couldn't control myself. You could have died." He was adamant about this.

"Look Jasper, I've thought about this. You feel everyone's emotion on top of your own. Think about this, you were feeling everything Edward was feeling, especially the desire for my blood. So not only were you battling your desires, you now were feeling it doubled. I'm surprised you lasted as long as you did." I could see Alice smiling hugely at us.

"Wow Bella, I never thought of that." He picked me and swung me around, hugging me. Alice ran over and hugged me tightly. I missed my best friend. She told me how much she missed me. Esme hugged me and told me thank you. She is such a good 'mom'.

Everyone split up and headed to where they were staying. I just walked out and knew Edward would follow. I wasn't ready to talk yet. He left me for his reasons, what would he feel now that I was the one thing he never wanted me to be. Would he love as a vampire or did I just appeal to him as a human?

"Choose whichever room you want. Mines the one at the end." I told him. He just watched me walk into the bathroom not saying anything.

I needed a few minutes to compose myself and put on my lounging outfit. I walked back into my room and stopped when I saw him laying on my bed.

He looked at me and said "You said to choose my room. I chose your room."

"That wasn't what I meant and you know it." I couldn't believe him!

"Bella, we need to talk and this is where I want to be. Here. With you." He said softly.

I nodded and got onto the bed.

He told me everything he said was a lie and he only left to protect me. He said he loved me and wants 'us' back. We talked for hours about everything. He wasn't unhappy I wasn't human anymore, he told me he felt guilty that he was very happy about it. He didn't have to be careful anymore with me. He found he didn't miss my heartbeat but he did miss my blushing. I didn't!

He had a lot of questions about being a Dark-Hunter and I answered what I could. The rest would be answered by the guys. He was excited we were in this together. It was a future neither of us could of imagined.

The sun was rising when we heard a knock on the door. Dev came to tell us it was time for Edward to leave for training. I didn't want him to leave yet. Not when I just got him back. We hugged and walked down to Vance's apartment. Ash was there and gave us all a minute to tell Edward goodbye. He caressed my face and told Vance to keep me safe. If only he knew...

They flashed out leaving the Cullen's, Vance and me behind. They were moving to New Orleans now that Edward and I were staying here. I was happy about that. We hung out that day and waited for the night. Our time to hunt and defend.

What we didn't know was something was being unleashed that would try to destroy us. And It was me it wanted.
