Last time: Carlisle's POV
It seemed as though the vision kept repeating, tears began to fall from Bella's eyes…
Growls erupted from Edward…
Shrieks of fear came from Alice…

Jasper was trying to get Alice out of the vision that kept replaying in her mind,
Carlisle was shaking my shoulders,
Jacob had Bella on the floor in front of where I now stood….
Everyone's thoughts were frantic, Alice started searching, and I fell to my knees. Bella reached out for me and Jacob hander her to me carefully.
She was crying…
I held her close needing her warmth and comfort, "I'll protect you love,"
"Can someone please tell us what's going on?" Esme asked through her dry sobs, of seeing three of her children crumble to pieces in front of her eyes,
"The three that come, something happens, we only fight two of them. We aren't sure what happens to the third. They arrive in two weeks. But they are coming, most of them are coming. They only ones left in Italy will be the wives, their personal guards, and less than half the guard," my voice sounded far.
Chapter 12:
EPOV
The Denali Family froze.
The wolves almost tripped over each other and the vampires in the room in their race to get out side, as each one made it through the door they jumped of the porch and landed as wolves; all facing towards the house.
And my family, they snarled and snapped getting into hunting crouches around Bella looking around for danger.
We all need to calm down! Bella yelled into everyone's minds.
She was whimpering from the intensity of emotions, thoughts, and roars coming from everyone.
Jasper's mind all of a sudden disappeared; I looked down at my Bella who nodded.
I had to his emotions are getting confused and intensified with everyone else's.
I know think that it will help him calm down and calm the others?
Yes, you should give him more credit.
"Jasper, think you are calm enough to calm the others?" Bella asked,
"Yea, but I can't feel them?" he said confused
"You can still effect them, and us…" Bella responded as everyone else's thought disappeared. "Wouldn't want it to affect us now would we."
I chuckled as Jasper calmed everyone. The wolves returned from outside as Alice became the center of attention.
"When are the three, or two I guess coming?" Carlisle asked
"They will arrive two days from today. I don't know what changes though because I see three enter the clearing but we only fight two." Alice said getting frustrated.
"A decision still isn't made," Rose said
"We will fight by your side in both occasions," Sam said looking over at Jacob curiously.
"As will we," Eleazer said as he thought, You have let me live when I don't deserve to, I will fight to assure your safety this time.
"Thank you but you owe us nothing," Bella responded with a slight blush.
Everyone smiled at her shyness, after a not totally awkward but not really comfortable silence.
"Bella?" Jacob asked from across the room.
"Yeah Jake?" Bella responded turning in my lap to look at him.
"Remember when we were little…what I promised when your dad had that accident at work?" He asked blocking his thoughts from me and I guess Bella too.
Bella's breath caught, "About what you would do if I ever lost him before…" she trailed off staring at him
"Yeah…I was thinking," he looked toward me, "If it ever comes up and if you'd like I'd be more than happy to keep my promise,"
Tears welled up in her eyes as she ran over to him and hugged him, "Thank you, thank you so much." Then I lost them both when she shielded them. I whimpered immediately but it wasn't as bad as last time I had lost my Bella.
She whimpered to looking over at me. But I knew she wanted to tell him something important. So I sat down and starred at her reminding myself that she was coming back in a minute.
She smiled over at Jacob before her shield lifted and she jumped into my arms, "Sorry I had to tell him something,"
"It's all right love; it wasn't too bad this time. I think if we can see each other and are pretty close to each other, the pain will be at least bearable." I said as I buried my face in her hair.

"Bella?" Jacob asked from across the room.
"Yeah Jake?" I responded turning in Edward's lap to look at him.
"Remember when we were little…what I promised when your dad had that accident at work?" He asked blocking his thoughts from Edward, and me in turn.
My breath caught, "About what you would do if I ever lost him before…" I trailed off staring at him
"Yeah…I was thinking," he looked toward Edward, "If it ever comes up and if you'd like I'd be more than happy to keep my promise,"
I knew I was about to cry, "Thank you, thank you so much." I had to put my shield over us to make sure, and Edward whimpered to looking over at me. I Knew he would understand and sure enough he just sat on the floor and stared at me.
Jacob, do you really mean it?
Bella, I promised to be you bog brother and best friend. I promised to walk you down the aisle if you wanted me to and be the guy someone asked your hand for. If you want that I'm right here.
Then talk to Edward, we want to get married but he hasn't proposed yet because as you may have noticed Carlisle, Emmett, and Jasper are very protective of me.
Yeah that's good too. But f Carlisle would like to walk you down the aisle that would be cool too. But he need to know that if he hurts you the entire pack will be after him along with the other males in your family.
Don't think about it now. Or right now, tell Edward you want to talk to him or something and then go. I think that as long as you don't go too far, the pain will be bearable, but if he thinks it's too much you bring him back to me. Remember we also feel each other's pain.
I smiled at him and let my shield down and went back to my Edward.

EPOV
We had all been talking about everything and nothing when Jacob's thoughts entered my mind, Hey, Edward can I talk to you out in the forest real quick? We only need to go far enough so that the others don't hear but if at any point the pain is too bad I will get you back to Bella as quick as possible.
I looked over at Bella who had a pleading look on her face, she wanted this. For her I would do anything.
I got up and motioned for him to follow me out side,
When we were out of hearing range I looked back at Jacob, "What would you like to talk about?" I sounded kind of breathless, but the pain was not too bad.
"Bella tells me you want to marry her," he began.
"Yes I love her but my father and brothers want us to wait. So I will wait to properly ask her for a few more weeks. I can't be away from her so I know they will understand. Plus Alice will want time to plan." I responded looking at his thoughts of a younger Bella and Jacob.
"Wow, you two were really close," I said in a whisper, "I will respect her forever, and I know you will know because I see how our families interact, we will be in each other's life for eternity. Bella needs her big brother and best friend around. I see how happy she is now that you have calmed down."
"Yea, I had some help from someone special, my imprint. She is acutely another wolf. Leah, but I don't know how Bella will react to her." Jacob said looking up at the now rising moon.
"She will love her, and I see it in your mind you are already marred to her. She makes you happy." I responded looking back towards the house, whimpering slightly.
Jacob laughed and started pushing me back toward the house.
I laughed with him but ran ahead. I could hear him chuckling before he phased, calling Leah to tell her to com meet up with the pack and so she could meet Bella.
I ran through the house following the pull I had to Bella. I found her almost immediately and pulled her close. I showed her the conversation and she smiled up at me as she turned to look at Jacob who was standing by the door.
Hey everyone play among ok…I heard in everyone's minds as she pulled me up and over to a jumpy Jacob.
Everyone nodded discreetly.
"So when so I get to meet the rest of the pack?" she asked while thinking towards me and Alice, Tell me when you hear her Edward, Alice can I get an estimate?
She will be in your range in ten seconds. –Alice
Are you going to tell her your just messing with Jacob?
Of course, poor girl she's probably been worried sick about the dam fool. Plus she may feel bad, if she doesn't know.
"Oh! ... umm she's actually on her way now," Jacob answered stuttering slightly.
"Hmmm" she said out loud as she thought, Hi Leah. You don't know me but I'm Bella. Just to let you know what you hear is only to mess with Jacob. I'll explain why later but for now just know I can hear your thoughts, so I will hear your answer.
Umm… okay. Nice to meet you I guess –Leah thought with a mental giggle.
"Jake, I don't know how I feel about a girl, who spends half her time naked around all these boys. I mean really she's the only girl I the pack and you guys spend half your time naked too. Do you think that's proper?" Bella continued, as I heard Leah's mind go into hysterical laughter.
"Umm… well …she …umm ….what?" Jake said frantically looking out the window he had moved to as he stuttered.
"Well yeah think about what our parents would say! Oh my gosh, it would be the talk of the town, one girl hanging around with nine… dear me… nine MEN!" Bella's tone was unbelieving.
Jacob was frozen, I heard Leah ask for some privacy and immediately everyone's thoughts disappeared except for my Kittens, Did you put up a shield?
Yes Eddy, I don't what you to accidently see something you should and she wouldn't be comfortable with.
I love you Kitten.
Jacob still had not moved a muscle, no doubt hearing Leah phase.
Leah walked to the door and rang the door bell, by now everyone was poking their head through the door.
"I'll get it!" Bella said with a smirk on her face.
"Wait! Bella umm…I have to tell you something…" Jake said looking nervously at the door.
"What, maybe that you imprinted, fell in love, got married and haven't told me yet? To late Edward and I don't have secrets." She giggled at his surprised face as she opened the door. "Just so were clear all those things I said were only to make Jake here quake in his boots." She hugged Leah as they both laughed along with everyone else, I had to join in.
After we all calmed down Leah was properly introduced as Mrs. Leah Black.

We were sitting around the living room, kitchen and dining room. I looked down at my Kitten.
"Bella…Kitten," everyone turned to look at me as my voice sounded defeated, "You saw the vision, we only need to fight two…this time…could you, not fight. Could you stay away?"
The guys' thoughts were understanding but the girls' were confused.
"Edward, my Eddie, you cannot ask me such things. I will fight by my family, I will fight by you!" she too was confused, she wasn't blocking her mind from me but was hearing everyone's minds but mine.
"I couldn't bare you getting hurt Kitten, it would kill me," I said as I reach out to hold her hand, she allowed it.
She shook her head, "but if you got hurt, if anyone got hurt, Carlisle, Esme, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rose, Carmen, Kate, Garrett, Irina, Jake, Leah, Sam, Embry, Jared, Paul, Quil, Seth, Collin, Brady, even Eleazer! How couldI live with myself then? I have killed hundreds maybe and most likely thousands, I have watched twice as many killed before my eyes, andi will not stand by, not again Edward! I can't lose my family again!"
I pulled her close, I understood, I'm sorry for asking such a thing from you, my love.
"I love you Eddy, I can't lose another family. I wouldn't bare it this time," she whispered as she held onto me for dear life.
The others looked at us and I was surprised to hear that they were all thinking the same thing, her words kept repeating in their minds, "I can't lose my family again!" They were all in awe at the fact that she saw them as family.
I lifted my Kitten into my arms, "Come on it's time for you to sleep, and don't fuss, you barely slept last night and I know you don't need as much sleep as a human but you need more than a wolf. Tomorrow we must prepare for battle, you will need your strength," I set her down on our bed and left her so she could change.
I returned quickly after she had done so.
She set her shield around us both, making the voices stop at once, "Yell…loudly if you need something," I said in a normal voice as I closed my eyes and focused on my Bella's heart beat.
- - - - - - - Time skip - - - - - -
I heard a tapping noise and opened my eyes, I realized it was more of a banging, and was instantly infuriated, "keep it down, what do you want?" I spat through my teeth.
"Mom says you guys should come down so Bella can eat something, I think she said a small human meal, and a small house cat meal," Emmett said as he stopped banging on the door.
"okay we'll be down in a minute, Bella will probably want to shower, I know I need to," I said a little calmer now.
He mumbled an okay, and left.
Bella, sweetheart it's time to awaken.
I don't want to.
Come now love, we need to shower, get dressed and go down stairs so I can feed you some human food and cat food.
Okay, but only cuz you asked nicely. She opened her eyes, kissed me lightly then let down her shield and gathered what she needed.
- - - - - - - Time skip - - - - - -
As we took the last steps down the stairs Bella tripped and started heading directly towards the floor, I caught her chuckling, I kissed her forehead and pointed her to the living room where some of the wolves were watching the news on the stock market.
I grabbed the bowel and spoon Esme handed me along with some toast and headed into the living room.
"Think we should invest in the cocoa stocks?" Sam asked
"I don't know it's so unpredictibale," Seth answered looking down at some record keeping book.
"Need help choosing stock?" I asked as I sat next to Bella whose face lit up at the sight of food, or maybe me.
"Yeah why?" Embry asked sitting up a little straighter.
"Easy, ALICE!" I called out
"Yes dear brother?" she asked looking toward Bella who had just shielded everyonw in the living room but Alice.
"After this is said and done, could you help out the wolves with their stock?" I asked as I made sure the liquid in the bowl wasn't too hot.
"Sure," her eyes went cloudy for a second, "But for now I would move about 30 thousand into the cocoa stock you will gain about 50 dollars a dollar as long as you sell in exactly three months from tomorrow."
The wolves looked at her shocked before running over to their computer that they had set up in one of the guest rooms to do as she recommended. Suddenly I could hear everyone again.
"Hey Kitten does your shield work both ways? You know what's out is out and what's in is in?" I asked curious.
"I can make it work however I want; the possibilities are endless." She said between spoonfuls.
I finished feeding her, her meal as everyone came back into the living room.
"Bella if you're too weak to feed yourself maybe you shouldn't fight tomorrow," Leah said looking worried.
"Huh?" Bella asked confused.
Jacob chuckled, "Edward doesn't just feed her because she's weak, it's like something intimate for them. Like when we hunt together."
Leah blushed lightly as all wolves huffed or gagged. All us vampires laughed as Bella had an understanding look on her face.
That's why you do it. She smiled at me as I sat her in my lap.
You didn't know why I did it?
No I just figured…I don't know I just never got why you still did it after I was better.
I love feeding you, and I can't wait till we feed together, maybe a polar bear, or a zebra, anything would taste better with you.
I love when you feed me too.
She kissed me lightly but I pulled her closer, when we heard multiple throats being cleared and our uneven breathing we pulled away. She buried her face in my chest as I closed my eyes and evened out my breathing along with her.
I looked up only to see the entire male population staring at us with hateful looks and the entire female population looking as if they were about to cry with huge smiles on their faces.
Bella broke out into a fit of giggles, looking at everything through my eyes.
When she finally calmed down she turned towards all the guys and said, "If you have a problem with me kissing the man I love, then deal with it because I'm older than anyone in this room."
They all grumbled, but didn't say anything.
All the male wolves were looking at me as we all walked into the back yard to practice some fighting; I decided to give them what they wanted.
"Alright so who wants to try to beat me up first?" I said as Bella looked at me alarmed and all the guys smiled.
"NO!" Bella said yanking me behind her, "I will not let Edward fight alone; we fight together, so if you boys want to fight him you fight me too."
I tried to pull Bella beside me but she stood her ground, NO Edward, we need to practice fighting together for tomorrow and for what is to come. We need each other and if we separate to fight we will only worry about each other.
Alright my love, but please stay by my side, two mind readers are better than one.
She stepped back towards me as I stepped forward pulling her into my side, "Together," I whispered.
"Lets go then," Leah said pulling Jacob forward with her.
"What! I'm not fighting Bella!" Jake exclaimed pulling away from Leah.
She shook her head and looked towards the other wolves, "Who will fight with me?"
Seth stepped forward, "Let's go sis, we can take them."
They both phased and the practice began, everyone broke up into groups of two and three fighting.

Night had fallen almost six hours ago; the sun would rise in another four hours,
"Kitten," she turned to look at me, "Will you please sleep a few hours?"
She sighed, "Fine, but only because you asked nicely, every ten minutes for the past three hours,"
I followed her back into the house, the wolves were phasing into their human forms so that they too could get a little sleep. The others were cleaning up the back yard and fixing a window that had fallen victim to the fighting practice that had ended only a few minutes prior.
- - - - - - - Time skip - - - - - -
My kitten and the wolves slept for five hours, when they awoke it was eight in the morning, the three assassins would arrive at midnight, sixteen hours.
Everyone stayed close to the house, those with mates were never far from each other, Irina hung out with the wolves mostly, the half with imprints called home telling them they loved them and would be home soon.
By the time night came everyone was restless. It was decided Bella would fight in her human for; her shield would be around everyone individually instead of as a whole. This way everyone was protected but we could fight easier and defend better. Not to mention that her blood was always more appealing as a cat.
We all walked out into the back yard half an hour before midnight when the assassins were to arrive. The wolves left and would return from a different location five minutes after midnight so the enemy would be surrounded.
A few minutes before midnight, we heard them…they were on their way and they were hunting.
They entered the back yard.
Their minds were everywhere, trying to devise a plan to kill us all, or at least my Kitten.
The leader was a blond who looked mad. The female looked more feline than my Bella, and had fire red hair.
The third who was staring at Bella with complete confusion was black with dreadlocks in his hair.
"Izzy?" he asked as his companions turned to look at him and the wolves arrived, Bella stiffened beside me.
The wolves positioned themselves to form a circle around the enemy, Jacob froze and turned to look at Bella as his thoughts were disbelieving, The guy …with dreads…its
Sorry for being evil but hey, it's a long chapter so no complaining. Told you things would pick up.
Oh...can you guess who it is?
