Thanks to FailCullen for doing the Beta.

Also I dont know how often I will be able to post. I have a step brother that thinks if no one is one the computer then it is like going to die or something and right now we only have one computer because our other one crashed. But I will be writing chapters in my notebook so I can type them out when I do get on the computer. Hopefully it wont be to long between chapters. Thanks for the support. Hope you enjoy this next chapter.

I was sitting on the window sit in my room just staring outside. It was raining and had been raining all day. Chance and I were supposed to met up later for dinner but to be honest I didn't know if I should go. I wanted to go. But all I had been thinking about since Thursday night after Jacob left was what he had said before he left. I was basically a zombie all day Friday. I had gone to the football game and Monty's but I really couldn't enjoy myself because of that. And besides our team final lost its first game of the season and no one was really in the mood to be out. I told Chance (who got to play in the game.) we didn't have to go but he said spending time with me would get his mind off the loss. That made me feel even worse than I already did. I had spent most of the day in my room. Only coming out to get something to eat and use the bath room. There was a knock at my door pulling me from my thoughts.

"Come in." I said. My dad walk in closing the door behind him.

"Hey Sweetie."

"Hey Dad." I said scooting over so he could sit down next to me.

"What's wrong?" He asked staring out the window.

"What makes you think something's wrong?"

"Well you have been quiet all day. You have stayed up here in your room too." I shrugged.

"Do you miss Jacob?"

"Yeah. I guess that's part of it..."

"Well that is understandable but you didn't act like this last time he was gone." He said turning to me.

"I know. It's just something he said before he left has been bugging me."

"What did he say?" I looked out the window. Trying to decide if I should tell him...I decided to tell him what Jacob had said. It was weird talking about this with him but it was also a relief to talk to someone who knew the truth about the imprint.

"Do you think he is right about you being afraid?" Dad said. I knew he wasn't totally comfortable with this but he listen and offered his advice.

"I don't know... I mean why would I be? I mean its Jacob - I already love him. And I know he loves me."

"Maybe because you know deep down that Jacob is right. It will be undeniable love. Something that no-one else can promise you and it never change...And also because if you did fall in love with him and the unthinkable happened...And Jacob was gone it would be that much more painful. Ness, just know that no matter what you choose to do we will support you. We love Jacob, he's family." I was starting to tear up and dad opened up his arms for a hug. I took the hug.

"You know your mom is going to be hurt that you talked to me and not her." I pulled away wiping my tears on my sleeve.

"I know. But... Its weird talking to her about Jacob like this. I mean I know it was along time ago but it doesn't change the fact that they were in love with each other."

"Ness." He said as if what I was saying was the silliest thing he ever heard.

"What? Dad it's true. I know they were in love back when mom was human. And I know that the love she felt for Jacob wasn't close to the love she feels for you but that doesn't change the fact that it happened. I love mom and I love the fact that I can talk to her about things but not about this. It's just weird."

"And you know that Jacob felt for her is nothing compared to what he feels for you."

"I know Dad."

"Okay... Well thank you for talking to me."

"Thanks for listening."

"Anytime."

"Will you tell mom what I said."

"Yeah." He said kissing me on the head before standing up and walking out of my room. I felt like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. And even thought I wasn't 100 percent I was better. Ding! I heard come from my laptop and I walked over to it and opened it to see that I had a message.
JacobBlack requests a video chat. I clicked accept and sat down on the bed propping the laptop on my legs. Jacob screen popped up within a few seconds and he was smiling. He hair was messed up like he had just woken up.

"Hey Jake." I said smiling.

"Hey, What are you doing?"

"Not much. I was talking to my dad but he left just before you requested the video chat."

"Um... What were you talking about?"

"Just stuff... So what have you been up to?"

"Just got up. I hung out with Quil and Embry until about 3 a.m."

"That's cool. I wish I could have gone with you."

"You could of."

"I don't know if my parents would have let me."

"I don't think they would have minded. Bells used to hang out here all the time." My mood took a little downward turn. I mean how many people can say that there best friend and mother used to be best friends and that they were in love with each other... Not many.

"Well that was when they lived in Forks. Not over two thousand miles away."

"I think they would have let you." Jacob said while stretching.

"Well next time you go we will see if I can come along."

"Deal." He said smiling.

"So how is everything there?"

"Good. Except for the rain."

"It's raining here too."

"So what have you been up to?"

"Nothing. I have been here all day. Went to the game last night. We lost."

"HA! That's funny." Jacob said clearly more amused by this than he would have been if I hadn't been dating Chance.

"Yeah, yeah." I said trying to keep a straight face.

"Come on Ness. A few weeks ago you didn't care whether they won or lost."

"A lot has changed in a few weeks." Jacob's face fell.

"I know." He said seriously. We sat there for a few minutes. Awkward silence.

"Well I'm going to get off here. Sam asked if I could patrol for a few hours while some of the other got some sleep."

"Oh okay. Well be safe. And I will talk to you later."

"Okay. See ya." He said, before logging off. I closed my computer and got ready for my date with Chance.

I met Chance at Stella's an Italian restaurant. We were going to get dinner then go see this new movie that had just come out called All The Kings Men. It was about a man with the last name of Kings and all the men he had killed.

"You seem in a better mood than you did yesterday." Chance said as we waited for our dinner.

"So do you." I said smiling.

"Yeah. I mean it still sucks we lost but I can't dwell on if forever."

"Yeah. How is your ankle?"

"It's pretty sore. I probably shouldn't have played last night. But whatever. We have a week off this week so I get to rest it plenty."

"That's good. You guys can still make it to state right?"

"Yeah. I mean we have to win every game from here on out. If we do that we will be set."

"Cool."

After dinner we just walked to the movie theater since it was only a few blocks away. A strong wind blew and I tensed up. Chance thought it was because I was cold so he put his arm round me but obviously it wasnt that. I smelt vampires and they were close...Very close, and as we turned the corner that the movie theater was on I saw them standing there. At first they werent paying attention but a few moments later the female snapped her head up and looked directly at us.

"Aw, look at the cute little couple." The female said. She had a southern accent and sandy blond hair with red tips at the end. There were two males with her one looked like he took one to many steroids and was bald. The other had long black hair slicked back in a pony tail and a lot of tattoos. They all had blood red eyes. They were blocking our path and we couldnt go around them because there was a busy street on one side and a wall on the other. The female looked at me with confusion.

"Your an intresting little thing, arent you?" Chance and I saw a chance to get around them so we took it. But we didnt get far.

"Hey!" One of the male said and grabbed my arm. I turned to see that it was baldy. I riped my arm from his grasped.

"Look we dont want any trouble. And you don't need to be touching her." Chance said.

"SHUT UP!" The female screamed. "You would make for a tasty treat and I am very hungry." Chance looked at her like she was crazy. If he only knew how serious she was.

"Dave, Jez, Zach come on." Someone yelled at them from down the street. I couldnt make out what the boy looked like but I really didnt care as long as they were leaving us alone. Jez let out an angry growl and they walked away.

"That was very weird." Chance said as we walked the rest of the way to the movie theater.

"Yeah." Was all I said. All I could say. I knew there were other vampires in Denali but these ones were different. I had a bad feeling about them. But I put all that aside and tried to enjoy the movie. It was better then I thought would be and after we got some ice cream before Chance drove me home. We kissed for a few minutes before he pulled into the long winding drive way that lead up to my house. I said bye and told him to call me when he got home.

"I think we have a problem." I said as I walked into the house.

"We certainly do. Why havent you answered your phone?"Mom said.

"What are you talking about? It hasnt rang since... I guess since before the movies." I grabbed it out of my bag to find it was completely dead. "It's dead. I charged it before I left. Why is it dead?"

"I dont know but we have been trying to get a hold of you for the past few hours."

"Why?"

"Alice called. She said she saw you running into some vampires and was worried." Alice and Jasper were out of the country at the moment.

"We did run into some vampires."

"Did they do anything?" Dad said coming into the house with Emmett.

"Where were you?" I asked.

"Looking for you."

"Oh well sorry. No they didnt do anything. The female said I was an interesting little thing and that Chance would make a tasty treat but then someone called them away. I couldnt see anyone but I heard it."

"Alice said they were new borns." Mom said.

"New Borns!" I squicked.

"Yes."

"Well w-why are new borns in Denali?"

"I dont know. But its not something to get to work up over yet."

"I dont know Edward. Have you seen the news lately? They say seven people have gone missing in the last month in Anchorage." Grandpa said.

"Well has there been killings?"

"Not really. A few here and there. But that doesnt mean we dont need to keep an eye on things."

"Of course." Dad said. After our little family meeting I went upstairs to my room and turned on my computer. No one was on right now so I took a long hot shower. I walked back into my room and saw a video chat request from JacobBlack. I clicked on it and saw Seth not Jacob.

"Oh my gosh Seth. How are you?"

"Good Ness. How are you?"

"I'm good. It's so good to see you. So what's up?"

"Oh nothing. I saw Jake's computer sitting here and needed to use it. Then I saw the video chat and saw you were on so I sent you a message."

"Cool. Had you been waiting long?" I asked.

"No. A couple of minutes."

"So where is Jake?"

"Oh he took a shift for Sam. He should be back soon."

"Have you all been having a lot of vampires there?"

"Um... Not really. I mean we still patrol everyday but not like we used to when... Well the Cullen's lived here. It has picked up in the past couple of days but not to much."

"Okay. Well just keep me updated."

"Okay... But why?"

"Well... I don't want anyone to worry but Carlisle thinks someone might be creating a vampire army. There has been a lot of disappearances in Anchorage in the last month."

"Seriously?"

"Yeah. But we don't even know for sure."

"Seth what are you doing? You better not be looking at porn on my computer." I heard Jacob say from somewhere I couldn't see. Seth and I started cracking up.

"Only the ones that were already on here." He said. "Oh crap. Bye Ness." He said before jumping out of the way of Jacob's fist.

"Hey Ness." Jacob said sitting down.

"Hey Jake. Having fun?"

"Yeah. It's been a good visit. But I cant wait to get home."

"Well I am going to get off here. I am super tired."

"Alright. I will see you tomorrow."

"Okay. Oh by the way tell Seth to tell you what we talked about."

"Why?"

"Because its important." I said rubbing my eyes.

"Okay. Well I love you."

"Love you too. Have a safe trip back."

"I will. Bye."

"Bye." I said and closed the laptop. My phone beep and I looked to see that I had a text from Chance.

Hey, sorry I forgot to call. I crashed out on the couch watching SportsCenter. I made it home safe and I will see you at school Monday. I text back that it was fine and I would call him tomorrow. Then laid down and fell into a deep sleep...Until my phone rang in my ear waking me up from a rare peaceful sleep.

"What?" I said my eyes still closed.

"What the hell Ness? Someone is making a vampire army and you don't tell me right away."

"Jake, I just found out a few hours ago." I opened my eyes to see that it was two in the morning.

"Well you should have let me know right away."

"I would have. But you were on patrol. And besides we cant be sure. It could just be a coincidence."

"Right."

"Jake, what difference does it make when I told you? You are coming home tomorrow so you would have found out eventual."

"Why do you think someone is raising an army?"

"On my date with Chance tonight or last night we ran into three who were new borns."

"WHAT!"

"Yes I know. But they didn't do anything. Now I want to try and go back to sleep. We will talk tomorrow. Bye." I hung up before he could protest. And then woke up a few hours later screaming because I had the dream about Jacob again. Except this time there was a SUV driving down the road I was in the back seat and couldn't make out anyone else in the car and then all the sudden I was in the forest. I was really starting to hate going to sleep.

Jacob got back around seven p.m. Sunday night and came right over. We talked about the potential new born army and what we would do in the mean time. Jacob and I went up to my room to hang out.

"Oh. I am going back to La Push for Thanksgiving and I thought you might want to go." My face lit up.

"Oh my gosh that would be so awesome. But do you honestly think my parents would let me go somewhere with a pack of werewolves?"

"Bells used to come to La Push all the time. And she was human."

"Yeah but that was then. And she didn't live over two thousand miles away."

"You should still ask. I know you want to go." Jacob said smirking.

"I do. And I will ask."

"No time like the present." Jacob said before running out of the room. I ran after him but he was already half way down the stairs.

"Hey Bells, Edward. We have something to ask you." Mom and dad were sitting on the couch watching some weird show.

"What is it Jake?" I was standing by him.

"Actually it would be better if Ness asked." Jacob said pushing me forward.

"Well... I was wondering... If I could go to La Push for Thanksgiving with Jacob."

"Ness, I'm sorry honey I just don't think that is a good idea." Dad said. I wasn't surprised but still disappointed by the answer.

"Why?" Jacob said from behind me. I turned and gave him a evil glance. Why did it matter. It wasn't going to do any good.

"Well aside from the obvious, Ness doesn't need to take a chance at being seen by Charlie. She maybe older now but she still looks the same. Charlie would recognize her in a heartbeat."

"I wouldn't be seen by Grandpa Charlie. I promise and the pack wouldn't do anything. It's against Tribal Law to kill or attack another's imprint. And besides they all like me there."

"The treaty states that a Cullen is not aloud on Quileute land also."

"We already talked about it when I was there. They are willing to let Ness come onto the land."

"Please, please, please. I don't ask for much. Please." Before my dad could say no my mom answered.

"We will talk about it." She said. My dad looked shocked by her announcement.

"Seriously?" I said smiling.

"Yes, your father and I will talk about it. That's not a no and not a yes."

"Thanks mom."

"Your welcome." After the La Push converation Jacob and I went for a walk in the woods.

"Do you think they will let you go?" He asked.

"No."

"Why?"

"Because they are parents. What normal parents would let there teenage daughter go over two thousand miles away with a guy?"

"Well your not normal so those rules don't apply." He said smiling.

"I think they apply regardless." I said pushing him lightly. Before my hand could fall he grabbed it and put it in his. It was kind of weird seeing as I had a boyfriend but I didn't pull away.

"Do you need to hunt?"

"No. I hunted a few days again. I'm good."

"Oh. Well then..." Jacob pulled me to him and put his arm around my waist.

"What are you doing?" I asked him looking up at him. I was smiling. I knew I shouldn't be liking this but I did. I also knew I should have pushed him away but I didn't. He looked down and moved so close our lips were a mire inch from touching. Then he whispered.

"You're it." He said and took off. I took off a few seconds later. As I zigzagged in between the trees I didn't see him but I could smell that he had just been here. My eyes scanned the away and then I caught a glance of something big and rustic red. So he had phased. I pretended not to see him and took off in the opposite direction.

I climbed up a tree and waited for Jake. He was sniffing the ground and I jumped before he could react. I landed right beside him and patted him on the head.

"You're it now." I said laughing and running off. But Jake caught up to me fast and pounced softly. I fell to the ground laughing. He licked me a couple of time and then the last one landed right in my mouth.

"Ewe! Jake, not in the mouth. That's gross when your a dog.." He barked happily then ran off. He came about a minute later in human form.

"So it's okay if I kiss you like that in my human form like that." Jacob said with a sexy smirk on his face.

"No. It's not." I said standing up.

"You know you want it." He said as we began walking back to the house. I said nothing, Because I did want to kiss him... But that would be wrong. I shouldn't be thinking about kissing anyone but Chance.
