Sorry that it has taken me so long to update, but well... bad things keep happening.

Anyway, the chapters are going to start getting shorter.

I own nothing... except maybe this plot?


Bella (POV)

After I started driving Alice just jumped out of my truck and started running. She wanted to go faster, but it isn't my fault that it barely goes over fifty-five. While she was running aside my clunker she made sure to tell me to turn back.

"I don't care if you've been running with dogs for all this time we've been gone," she sighed. "But they're still dangerous. What's worse is that they may think that we have breached the treaty of theirs."

I remembered Jake mentioning the treaty before.

It prohibited the Cullens from killing humans for so long as they lived in forks, even if they were on their side of the treaty line. Also the treaty stipulated that no one could tell any outsiders the stories of the tribe. Jake had actually broken that rule way back when the both of us thought all of this was some kind of twisted fantasy.

"What will they do then?" I asked worried for my love and my friend.

"They'll probably try to kill us," Alice said resolutely in a way that made me fear how often she had to prepare for her own gristly and possible unfair demise.

And then she sped away. I could have followed her directions, but it just seemed to me that I needed to be there. Even while my better judgment was telling me to turn around, my heart said to go. I tried to persuade my heart to listen to reason.

"What if I got hurt? Jake would never forgive himself!" I demanded of it.

The wolves can control themselves around me. It replied.

"What if they're fighting when I get there already? Am I supposed to just go out in the middle of the battle and stop it all with my feminine wiles?" Sarcasm surely would work against my heart that preferred things literal.

Not your feminine wiles, just your powers of persuasion. Besides you, don't have any feminine wiles it reminded me, stinging my pride a bit.

"What if I just make it all worse?" I whispered going for my main fear.

You won't, they all care too much about you to ignore your opinion. It assured me. Now take a left here…

It was weird. I had no idea where Alice's vision was going before Seth had disappeared completely; yet I just knew instinctively where to turn, keep going, and all the landmarks that I had never seen before.

Finally I made a turn onto a driveway. There was no way in heck that werewolves and vampires were meeting in such a normal looking house. I was about to curse trusting my gut when I opened the door.

This time the feeling telling me where to go said I needed to check the backyard. It was adjacent to the forest, which meant that the Wolves cold come out of there easily. It also meant that if my intuition was right they weren't in the house, but behind it in the forest.

I broke off into a sprint, one that was like nothing that I ever had done before. My heart raced as I ran past the southwest corner of the house.

My lungs nearly exploded from the air that was rushing into them that would have normally entered my body. I knew that if I stopped I would collapse, but my mission drove me forward.

Finally I rounded the last corner and there, to my surprise, were the wolves long with Alice, Emmet and Edward staring each other down. The three Cullens before me were crouched low, like feral cats readying to pounce.

I almost assumed that they would all start circling each other soon.

The wolves, stood confidently, most likely getting their orders from Sam before they did anything. Not one of them even twitched at the growls escaping the vampires' throats

That's when I saw him curled into a little ball at the edge furthest away from everyone else, though the fighting was all about him. Once more reason flew out the window for me, and I began to make my way over to him.

Seth.

I forgot all at once that he was a newborn vampire. I forgot all at once the things Carlisle had told me about newborn vampires. I forgot all about how strong they were supposed to be. I forgot all about the fear of God that was put in me about them. I forgot how fearful Edward had been when he mentioned them. I forgot that a newborn vampire only has one thing on their mind. I forgot that my blood smelled unbelievably appealing to vampires.

But I felt this need to help him.

"Hey, we gotta go!" I said frantically. He didn't move a muscle; I almost thought that he hadn't heard me. I tried to help him up, but his skin was ice cold. I flinched back; even Edward hadn't been that freezing.

"Please don't touch me," he whispered.

"But we have to get you out of here," I insisted, using all of my strength to heft him up. Mind you I don't have much strength. "They're going to kill you if we don't!"

"No they won't," he murmured. "They're talking about letting me leave."

"But isn't that a good thing?" I asked him. I was walking for the both of us now, and we would have been out of his yard if he were helping me out a little bit. Instead of answering me he shivered. It started off normally, but then I realized that vampires didn't shiver.

"You need to put me down," he rasped, as if he hadn't been breathing. His shaking got more violent, and I had to let him go.

"What's wrong?" I gasped as he collapsed down to the ground on his hands and knees. Finally he stopped shaking and he opened his eyes. They were completely red. Iris, pupil, the whites of his eyes.

"You smell really good," he whimpered, his mouth opening to reveal his elongated fangs, dripping with venom.

"Oh, crap, you're thirsty," I said at last as he pounced.


Oh yeah, i did a cliffie, but don't worry i should have the next chapter up by next Tuesday!
