Dead or Alive

Their heavy steps were more coherent now, and so clear to our vampires' ears, not to mention if Bella was still human she would still be hearing them too. I pulled away from Bella, looked around at the family and memorizing their features as best as I could, although I knew that I would never forget their faces in a million of years. I didn't know what would happen now, and I know that I may be relying too heavily on my foreseeing ability but it would be helpful at this moment. No matter how hard I tried to concentrate on any of our future ahead, I would come up as blank. I didn't like the look of this, and no one liked the look of this as well but they acted so calm. Must be Jasper, he was always calm under any circumstances unless he couldn't handle our overwhelming nervousness, and anxiety. This war, this battle, we shouldn't really fight it since it wouldn't give us any satisfaction. Well, maybe it would give the wolves satisfaction to kill us, and it would give Emmett some entertainment/action, but we wouldn't gain anything from this.

Wolves, their brains held nothing but an empty space there.

Edward chuckled, and everyone looked to him and shrugged. I knew what he was chuckling about, so I smiled at him when we both had the same thought. He smiled back, before a frown replaced it. "It's time."

I sighed, and before I could say anything, Emmett cut in. "Let's kick some asses!" And with that, pounding a fist into his other palm for some good measures. The women rolled their eyes, while the men chuckled immensely.

"Jacob?" I turned to him, and he shot his head and our eyes met. I could see the battle within himself, and I sighed. I understood what he was feeling. "You can sit out. This does not concern you."

"I can't sit out of this." Jacob answered, sharply, which caused me to sigh again. "I'm doing this for Bella. I will be protecting Bella, and no one else."

"But why? I'm a vampire now, Jake. You don't have to." Bella tried to reason with him, but it was in vain.

"I have a choice, and this is it. I won't sit back and let the pack take you away from me. No, I won't sit back and watch as they tear you apart." He spoke with sadness covering in his tone. And with that, he left the house. A howl came afterward outside the house, and we knew that he had phased.

We immediately went out with them, and already we saw Jacob snarling and growling at the six other werewolves who had stood their ground, but I knew not for long. I grabbed onto Bella's hand, clutching it tightly in my own, hoping and wishing for the best that whatever would happen to us, we would always be together, even when we die. I took a quick glance at my family, their expressions were unreadable, as if they were preparing for the worse. Emmett and Jasper had gone up the front, trying to shield us. Edward soon joined them, and Carlisle later. They were protecting the women, and I felt Bella tugging at my hand, as if asking permission if she could join them as well. I tightened my grip around her, and she understood that I wanted her to be by my side.

Sam stepped forward, and growled at Jacob. Jacob growled back, and that was it, they lunged at each other like no one was even there. I noticed the two new wolves, and they looked torn between joining the pack into fighting this battle, or just sitting back on the sideline to watch. But there was one werewolf, and Edward had whispered to us that it was a female, would only join the fight if her brother, the other new werewolf, would join as well. My eyes shifted over to her brother, and I immediately knew that he was young. How could the Quilette tribe let the young boy out into battle and sacrifice himself? Jacob was young also, so are the other two younger werewolves that were his friends. These Elders, whoever they were, were heartless for the fact that they got children fighting for them.

I heard a yelp of pain and my head quickly snapped towards the two prowling wolves. Jacob had flung Sam over to the side by his neck, and judging by that yelp, Sam was in pain. Sam hit the ground, and soon he stood up slowly, staggering a bit, as he whimpered. Jacob stood his ground, his eyes hardened on Sam as his head held up high like a true Alpha that he was. Edward was passing information onto us. Sometimes, his mind reading ability could come of use.

"Jacob is telling Sam to back down, and go back. He is also telling the rest of the pack to not join into the blood fest, since there is no reason for neither of them nor us to die." Edward whispered, and we didn't move as we listened to him. Jacob was thinking of us, but more importantly, Bella. His devotion for her was all but showing by his stance. His head held proudly, his chest puffing out with his eyes looking down at his underling.

But then there was a snapping roar, and when I turned to look at what was happening, there was another wolf from the pack, as big as Sam, had lunged towards us. He wasn't aiming at anyone in particularly, but Emmett had declared that he would have this guy. Thundering crashed, but not from the sky, it was from the collision of the wolf and Emmett. I heard Bella whispered the wolf's name; Paul. So we all stood, watching as Emmett and Paul had a go at each other. And Jacob staring down at Sam, while the rest of the pack looked totally lost. What was good with declaring a war when their second in command leader wasn't good enough to lead the pack?

Emmett had got in several good hits, which had weakened Paul greatly. Truth to be told, Paul wasn't what Emmett would look for in a fight. Emmett was kicking Paul and punching him around like a rag doll, and Paul was trying desperately to get a hit on Emmett. Emmett's strength wasn't to be questioned, and yet Paul thought that he could have a shot at beating Emmett. Wrong. I had grown bored of watching Emmett and Paul going about, so I switched my attention back to Sam and Jacob. Jacob had no longer looking down at Sam, and they seemed to be staring at each other's eyes in a silent conversation. Edward frowned deeply, it looked like he was listening to something that he didn't want to be listening to.

Jacob let out a snort, well it sounded sort of a snort, and turned his head away from Sam to look at the new wolves. Sam took this as an advantage to run pass him and towards us. Edward was caught off guard, so he didn't have the chance to stop him when Sam was about to tackle him down. However, instead of tackling Edward down like he had hoped, Jasper lunged himself at Sam and knocked him off. Everything happened so fast for any humans' eyes to make out what was going on. Then I heard a sickening and painful yelp, knowing that it was from Sam. It was then that the pack decided to join in, with the exclusive of the two new wolves. The two stood on the sideline, while the young wolf had his tail between his legs, and his ears flattening back as he whimpered in sadness. His eyes spoke everything, he didn't want this to happen as well.

Embry and Quil, as Bella had whispered their names, lunged forward. Carlisle took Embry while Edward took Quil, leaving us women with absolutely nothing to do. Esme moved in to help Carlisle, and Rosalie moved in to help Edward even though she knew that he didn't need help. That left me and Bella just stood there, watching as our family engaged into a battle of the centuries. Our family should be angry that the wolves had broken the treaty, yet we weren't. We still had that small portion of hope that we could be of an alliance, somewhat.

Then Bella tensed beside me, which got me all concern. I looked over to her, and was about to ask what was wrong when her head whipped behind us. Her crimson eyes starting to change into that pitch black eyes that they were not a couple of days ago when she had injured Jacob. She had smelt danger, or something that was related to danger. Her lips then pulled back, revealing those razor sharp teeth, and she was hissing at whatever that was behind those woods.

"Intruders." She spoke beneath her breath, enough for our family and me to hear. Even if they had heard it, they didn't take their focus off from the battle that they were going on at. Somewhere behind me, I heard Jacob growling as if he was breaking someone's fight.

"Who? How ma – " I was cut short when I got a whiff of a familiar scent, and three other new scents. The familiar scent belonged to no one but our old friend; Victoria. This was exactly why I hated to have my visions taken from me.

"Victoria, and three newborns." I hissed and that had gotten my family attention, but not for long when the wolves used it as an advantage.

Our eyes looked on, and not for long Victoria and her minions appeared in our sight. Their eyes were of a deep crimson, and they had smirks on their faces as if they had arrived at a party that had gotten started without them. To us, it was a bad timing. To them, it was good timing. We had the werewolves on one hand, Victoria and her little followers on the other. This was going to be some hell of a fight, excuse my language.

"Well, well, well, looks like we just walked right into a party my dearest." Victoria spoke, her voice was soft as silk, but held the greatest poison of the vampire that had lost a mate. The other three chuckled darkly, their eyes looking over at us.

Then she turned to the three of the vampires, her eyes scanning them before smiling, her head tipping over to my direction. "Why don't you two force her to dance? While me and Riley will take Bella." With that said, I found myself surrounded by the two newborns, while Victoria and the one named Riley looked about to tackle her.

"Alice…" Bella murmured softly, squeezing my hand. I know what she was going to say, I didn't need to see the future to see this.

"No, Bella. I can take care of myself. Don't worry about me, worry about yourself." I said, in reassurance more to her than possibly myself. I squeezed her hand, for one last time, before letting go and quickly as a blur, I had already pounced on the first newborn that I had my eyes on.

The impact of the pounce was strong enough for it to fall back, and I took my cue to grab onto its neck. I was about to yank its neck out but stopped and blurred out of the way when I knew another body was lunging towards my own. I was fighting two newborns here, so I couldn't really focus on actually one newborn, while the other would likely to rip me apart. They both got up, and snarled at me while I hissed at them. Before any of them could attack, the two new wolves lunged forward and grabbed one of the newborns by its arms, dragging it off towards the wood. I had to thank them later, and whoever that told them to come to my aid. I didn't dwell on that fact for long when the remaining newborn lunged at me. I dodged it quickly, but not quick enough when it brought its foot right up to my face. My reflexes were good, so I grabbed onto its foot and, with a low hiss, broke it and yanked its foot back, before forcefully throwing it at its face. That was, indeed, a great humiliation.

It snarled at me, and even with only a foot left, charged at me. So that was when everyone was occupying with our own little battles. I didn't get the chance to see Bella when she was fighting Victoria and Riley. Well, I know that she was fighting next to me, but the thought of her getting hurt just made me want to finish this newborn off and come to her aid. If only the wolves would just go away so my visions would come back. As if.

A/N: Throw a foot at it ! Lol.

Um, I have something to say to one of my anonymous reviewer go by the name - I think - Boo.

I don't expect you to read my fanfic. I actually don't even know why you even bother, but there's something you should really know. You need to learn how to read. Because, quite frankly, this is a Bella x Alice fanfic. And, you said there isn't enough Alice x Bella moment, go back several chapters and read. They weren't sexually frustrated without a reason, and Bella is more sexually frustrated than Alice but when the time comes, I will have YOUperving on that particular chapter. Because, my fanfic is my fanfic, I can do what the hell I want to do with it. I'm not the type of girl that would sit here, and write numerous sex scenes between Bella x Alice so you can go off and take a cold shower or masturbate while reading it. I like my action, because I enjoy writing action. Do you expect me to write - And the fight was on for several hours but no one got hurt.Bla bla, then have me skip straight up to a steamy sex chapter? No, my fanfic don't work like that. I like detail, and I put a lot of detail in it, especially fight scenes and sex scenes. Especially sex scenes -cough-. If you want to read THAT. Go read Change of Heart, the last chapter is the most steamiest sex scene I have ever written. So please, if you don't enjoy reading my fanfic, then stop, altogether. If you want sex, and more sex scenes between them, write your own. I may be a perv, but I'm not as much as a perv as you maythink I am.

Well, other that that, I thank you for all those that have reviews. =]
