I don't own this...

I woke with a start, covered in a cold sweat, a piercing scream echoed around the room before a small, cold hand clamped over my mouth. I tried to pull away from the contact before I recognised Alice's short, spiky hair. She held her finger up to her lips and removed her left hand from my mouth, I took a deep, shaky breath.

I remembered back to when Edward and Carlisle had tried to change me, had Felix tried to change me too? Is that why I was unconscious. So Edward was back? Edward was back! I sat up too quickly and the room spun a little.

'Alice! Where is he? Where's Edward?' I gasped.

Her eyebrows pulled down in confusion, 'Bella, haven't we been over this? Edward's gone.'

'No. He was here just before, but then he got upset and ran off, and then I fell from the window and he caught me, but it was...Felix...Can he morph into other forms?' Alice shook her head quickly, her eyes seeming to question my sanity, 'Oh...But Edward was here?'

'Bella it was a dream, I've been here all night watching you. Sort of felt like I needed to, I saw your future disappear. I didn't know if you...died, or if the dog was coming into your room. I didn't want either to happen so I've been here all night. You were pretty restless, but you have been so tired I didn't want to wake you...Sorry.'

'Jacob and I will work on our technique with you, the others do not wish to, or do not have enough self control. They can just watch us.' Sam said, standing in human form infront of the wolves.

Carlisle nodded and Sam went into the forest to phase. When he came back he and Jacob made their way over to stand infront of Carlisle and Jasper.

'Now, were lucky that the Volturi wont be expecting to see wolves, but it wont take them long to get over the shock. I think the best way to go about this is for you to show us how you would normally kill a vampire, and then we modify those moves a little so they will work on the Volturi?' Carlisle asked.

Sam nodded once and in slow motion he and Jacob pointed to the places they would aim for when they fought.

'OK, thats good. But instead of aiming for the neck first, aim for the chest. They wont expect that. Yes...Just like that..' Carlisle encouraged, Jasper had a deer in the headlights look.

It continued like that for another hour before Jasper called to end the training for tonight. The wolves followed Sam into the forest, and I followed the Cullens to the cars.

'How are you Bella?' Carlisle asked, we were trailing a few feet behind the others, giving me a false sense of privacy.

'I..I don't know. It's easier without him than last time, but hardly. I think it's only because he didn't want to leave me this time? That I know he still loves me, but I keep...I keep having nightmares about him.' I whispered.

Carlisle nodded, 'Time heals all wounds.' His ancient eyes were full of sorrow and I knew it wouldn't be the case for him.

'How are you?' I asked, not knowing if I would get the truth.

'As good as I can be considering. But I understand he would have done anything to protect you. I would have lost him no matter what, he wouldn't live without you Bella.'
