Bella's POV
Being a wife is great. Being a mother is wonderful. Being a vampire is perfect. Being in danger and knowing that you are going to have to kill other vampires, sucks. For some reason that Edward nor Carlisle can explain I am not like your normal newborn. I don't have a crazy thirst for blood, and I can hold myself back when I smell a human.
So here I was, laying out side in the wet grass as the sun shined down on me, thinking about how awesome my life is, and how terrified I am to lose it. But by going to that clearing tomorrow, and fighting those vampires with the werewolves, I was risking it all.
But I was risking it for Riley. And that was a risk I was willing to take. I am willing to lay down my life, my husbands life, my family's life, to save me baby's. I sighed heavily as I looked to the sky. I had asked to be alone, because I needed to think for once.
I needed to process all that was happening to me. I was so afraid we would lose. Alice has seen the number of vampires go up from 20 to 30 in two days. Now the number is at 47. And it was still growing. Sure we could win, but at what cost?
We needed more help. We were getting more and more out numbered by the day. As I looked up to the sky I got an idea. We were not the only vampires in the world. So why not ask a few friends for some help? The Denali clan said they could not help, because they had past issues with werewolves. But my family is very old. Surely they have other friends?
I stood up and ran into the house. I went in the living room and saw Rosalie holding Riley as he slept happily in her arms. Emmett and Jasper were playing so video game, and Esme was redecorating her bedroom. Carlisle was at work, and Alice was shopping. I heard Edward playing the piano and I went into the piano room and sat beside him on the small bench.
"Edward we cant win." I said to him. He did not stop playing as he said, "We must try." I nodded my head in agreement. "Don't you guys have some people you can contact? Friends that are willing to help us?" Edward stopped playing the song only to begin on my lullaby.
"Belle, love, we have tried all that we can. Nobody wants to take the risk. We will just have to do this on our own and pray we all come out alive" I closed my eyes and sighed. "Edward we cant win. I meant with Esme staying behind to watch Riley and me not being experienced enough someone on our side is going to die."
He stopped playing and pulled me into a hug. "What choice have we? We will not let our son get hurt and we can not run. We must fight." I nodded my head. I knew that was true. "Well then, come with me outside. I have to prepare my fighting skills if I want to help." Edward nodded and we headed out side.
*Alice's POV
I had to go shopping. I was getting so stressed out not even Jasper could calm me down. I couldn't understand how the vampire numbers kept growing. 50 was a crazy number. Who could have started this? We hold no threat to anyone.
I was in the dressing room of Ross and sat down on the little chair. I closed my eyes as a vision came over me.
"You killed him. My brother. Now you must die." A mysterious male voice called out as Edward lunged at him. We were all in the clearing and we begun to fight. Screams and yells of pain filled the air as we fought for our right to live.
I opened my eyes. Damien. He had a coven and now they were after revenge. It all came together perfectly. Now that I know what brought all this on, I know how we can stop it. I searched for the vision I was looking for. Yes my plan would work. I had to get home and tell the family. By some miracle, we just might come out of this alive.
A/N So I know you all hate me. I promised to update a while ago and I didn't. I'm sorry. I have really busy with life and I have been really focused on Never Let Go and I just couldn't find time to sit down and write this chapter. But, obviously, I did it. So I will try very, very hard to get the next chapter up tomorrow. Just don't hate me if it's not. Please review. Thanks for reading!
