OMG, it's another chapter!

Before I start I want to tell you all that the Facebook page is up and running, all you have to do is find Star Fix.

Well, enough of that, and on to the story!

I own nothing except this crazier by the second plot.

Chapter Six: Decided

(Bella POV)

I could tell that everyone was wondering what to do.

Sam obviously was torn between keeping his people safe and not really wanting to kill someone that had been one of his people. Jared wasn't very sure of what to do either, but would do whatever Sam said. Embry and Jake wanted to just send Seth away with the Cullens and forget about everything that had happened since Seth had being their friend.

Paul was the only one of them who seemed to have no qualms about killing Seth. I remembered how he had treated me when he had thought I was still in love with Edward, and how he still treated me since I had "been" with a vampire. It was likely Paul's view on the situation was black and white: all vampires were evil and they had to be taken out.

The Cullens were harder to read with all of their faces, except Jasper oddly, stony and hard. Edward would want Seth out of the picture if he thought that he had hurt me. Emmett didn't seem to be itching for a fight, so maybe he wanted it to be resolved peacefully? Alice was trying to see anything in the future regarding Seth I hopes that he was just going to die and he wasn't immune to her Sight.

Jasper's look of curiosity gave me some hope that he could calm everyone down enough so that they wouldn't do something rash.

"Bella, what happened when Seth came out here?" Sam asked. "Did he hurt you at all?"

I wasn't so sure of that. He hadn't touched me after he had flung me out to the front yard after he first tried to bite me, but when I hadn't landed on the ground I thought I heard something shatter. I stood to check if I had broken a leg or something. The back of my arms were covered in light scratches and none were bleeding. I hadn't broken any bones but one of the key chains on my keys had broken.

"No," I answered. "In fact, he was having trouble walking when he came out here…"

"That doesn't excuse that he almost attacked you, Bella" Edward shouted. "Newborns are extremely volatile!"

"Then why don't we put him down?" suggested Paul with a sneer.

I gasped in horror. How could he say it so easily and with no hesitation? Even Sam had feelings of trepidation, but Paul had none. I scanned the faces around me to see that no one had any objections to what Paul had suggested.

"You can't!" I shouted. "It's not his fault!"

"Then who's is it Bella, yours?" Sam sighed. "Even if you have the best smelling blood in all the universe-"

I grimaced since Edward told me that constantly when we were together.

"That doesn't give him the right to attack and nearly kill you," Sam explained. "He has to take responsibility for what he almost did."

"That's not what I meant when I said it wasn't his fault. He kept talking about someone giving him orders in his mind. Someone female," I paused for effect. "What if Victoria has the power to control her newborns to a limited extent?"

"Bella, lo-" Edward caught himself before he could call e love like he used to. "That's impossible I would know if she had mind control powers."

"But you said it yourself," I reminded him. "You didn't really delve into her thoughts like you did for James."

That stunned him.

"Better yet," I continued. "He passed out after I touched him like the mind control was broken. Maybe the mind control is like your mind reading and I stopped it."

"Bella, you're not touching him now, and he I still can't read his mind." Edward pointed out.

He was right, if I had somehow made Seth unreadable by touching him, then since I wasn't touching him his thoughts should have been open to Edward. I took five steps away from Seth to see if distance helped out at all.

"Getting anything now?" I asked.

Edward nodded, "Just barely…"

That was when Seth groaned, like he was about to wake up.

"Bella, you need to get out of here!" Jake and Edward said in unison. Due to the danger they didn't even care about their petty rivalry towards each other.

"But Seth isn't…"

"Bella, if what you say is correct," Sam said. "Then it is still very likely that he may attack you before you get the chance to use your still untested ability to stop him."

Though I didn't want to admit it, Sam was right. I took out my keys and headed to my truck.

"Please, don't do something stupid," I said as I slid into my seat.

(Seth POV)

The first thing I saw when I woke up was Jake standing over me. He was naked for some reason, and that made me feel extremely uncomfortable.

Jake had been my friend for almost all my life but still I was so surprised to see him like that. Before he had joined Sam's little cult he hadn't been as huge as he was now, I attributed it to Sam forcing all members of his group take steroids. There couldn't be any of those on the menu since Jake didn't seem to be…diminished. In reality the reason for his change from being lanky to being built like a truck had to be some of that Werewolf mojo. Keeping myself poker faced I lamented over that I would be stuck as skinny and spindly me forever, at least unless the Protectors and Cullens decided to kill me.

"Everyone, he's waking up," Jake murmured, crouching down so that he was closer to me. And so was something else about him that I wanted far, far away. "Are you okay Seth?"
"Why do you care if that-" Paul started to say, but Jake shot him a dirty look and he choked on his slur.

Jake turned his attention back to me, "are you okay?"

Yeah, but if they know that…

"Has anyone ever told you that you have the most beautiful eyes?" I giggled, trying to sound as out of it as possible.

Maybe if the protectors thought I was loopy from passing out they would be lenient and still offer the "Seth can live" proviso. Since I hadn't bitten Bella that had to still be intact, right?

"I think Seth took a bad fall when he…" Jake paused. "What did Bella say happened?"

Edward answered, "She said that he just passed out after she touched him."

I remember that… but did I have a dream?

I decided to take it up a notch since it sounded like Edward didn't believe me, probably since he could hear my thoughts…

"I swear to hurt I'm not fine," I murmured, trying to stand up, but I didn't get to because Jake held me down.

Okay then, I guess I'm going to die…

"Seth, drop the act," Edward ordered, yup the mind reader knew I was faking. "Do you remember anything before you passed out?"

I shook my head, other than almost killing Bella everything was a blur. I did remember falling asleep, though. Had I did something weird in my sleep?

"No, the fact that you did sleep is what is weird," Edward said, answering my thoughts.

Even though it was invasive I found it very useful. I didn't have to waste time framing my questions or what I wanted to say since Edward could just figure it out. I quickly resolved that if I survived I would try to have a no-talking-from-me conversation with Edward. Maybe it would be fun.

"I kind of have a headache…" I murmured.

That's what you get for trying to defy me!

"Oh, and I think I'm hearing a voice yell at me," I groaned. "She doesn't sound happy."

Instead of ignoring what I had said everyone looked at me as if I had said that they were all going to die in seven days over the phone. I didn't feel like a crazy ghost girl, so that couldn't be it.

"Cullen, it would seem that Bella was correct," Sam sighed. "If she is controlling him, then Seth is a ticking time-bomb."

That sounded a lot like they were beginning to lean towards the "let's just kill Seth" idea.

"I'm not a time-bomb!" I exclaimed, hoping to sway them.

Yes you are Seth.

Shut up, you!

"As long as this red-haired vampire is on the loose you're a liability so long as you can't control yourself," Sam said. "We have no choice here."

I braced myself to be killed; I had no idea how to activate that strength I had tapped into when I was trying to kill Bella, so this was it!

"Wait, I think I might be able to keep him from rampaging,"

Yeah, another Cliffhanger. Is anyone wondering what happened with Renesmee?

Read on to find out (and reviewing would be nice)!
