Alice and I had been sitting there for five hours, not moving, not breathing. I knew Alice was still working hard though, watching everyone's futures, while I sat there helplessly. When we heard Bella, Edward, Nessie and the wolves nearing the house, both of our heads snapped up and we stood up swiftly. Alice started walking out the door and I followed suit. She picked up the pace and began running toward the forest, so I followed after her, without question.

We sprinted into an opening in the forest, where we saw Edward. Behind his shoulders stood Bella and Renesmee, and behind them stood a pack of 42 wolves, all in their wolf form, with the exception of Sam and Jacob, who stood in front of their pack. I gasped, there were 42 now? Those wolves were multiplying like mad. I then realized, I was probably the cause of the multiplying wolves. Well, Alec and I... and... Mason. Three new vampires in the area would most definitely trigger the phasing of 15 or so new wolves.

"I have informed them all of the situation." Edward said somberly, "And-" His eyes snapped to Alice's in alarm, "What?" He gasped.

Alice nodded weakly.

"What?" Jacob snarled. He had always hated, and had no patience for the whole mind reading thing.

"They will arrive in two days," Edward said emotionlessly.

The energy in the pack began to rise, as they growled and began kicking the dirt underneath them.

"Calm," Sam ordered, raising his right hand in the air. "Training will need to begin immediately," Sam said to Edward, "Where is Jasper?"

"Gathering some old friends," Edward answered, "We will just have to start with us."

Sam nodded, "Let's pair up. There aren't enough vampires here yet so we will just have to rotate."

Sam phased on the spot and immediately began combat with Edward, while Renesmee pounced on Jacob. Bella and Paul began circling each other, and so did Alice and Seth.

Embry was grinning at me, showing his werewolf teeth, and snarled playfully.

I nodded at him, trying my best to hide my nerves. I had never physically fought anyone before, and I didn't have a clue if I was good at it or not.

Around me, the rest of the wolves paired up to practice fighting with each other. Embry pounced on me, and I was instantly on the ground, his teeth were an inch from my face. When I whimpered, he quickly got off me, tilting his head to the side.

"Again." I said. This time, I was determined. When he ran and jumped on me this time, I took both hands out in front of me, and caught him, grabbing the fur around his neck. I tossed him in the air away from me, and he landed on his back. He quickly got up and began running towards me again. When he leaped, I leapt, and I kicked him right in the stomach. He fell once again as I landed on my feet. I grinned, this was going to be fun.

After practicing with Embry, Jared, and three other wolves who's named I could not think of, Edward ordered, "Stop."

We all halted our fighting and looked in the direction of his gaze. I could make out several figures walking towards us. When I squinted my eyes, I spotted Rosalie and Emmett, followed by three extremely tall, looming figures, who I identified as Zafrina, Kachiri and Senna of the Amazon coven. Behind them were more typical sized figures, one female, one male.

"Nahuel!" Nessie shrieked, and began running to meet the newcomers, much to Jacob's disappointment. Bella squinted her eyes in annoyance, while Edward grinned. When Nessie reached them, she pounced on Nahuel, the other half-vampire, while he lifted her slightly and spun around in three circles. "Hey Ness," he winked, "How are ya?"

"Not great," she giggled.

He grinned, "I can fix that."

"Ok, enough," Jacob snarled, the jealousy evident in his eyes. "We are here for a purpose, we need to train immediately."

"Yes," Zafrina spoke up in her low, soothing voice. Renesmee looked up at her and smiled, hugging her waist. Zafrina patted her head, "It is good to see you little one." She looked up, "My family wants me to speak for them before we begin. We are here to help because we want to protect the Cullens, and our friends. That is all." She gave me a look that told me I wasn't included in her 'friends', I just came in a package deal with the Cullens. Oh well, I thought, At least she is here to help.

We resumed our training, now with more vampires to rotate around. One by one, the rest of the Cullens returned, with their new recruits, and they all joined the training cycle, after hinting that they were not here for me. I tried blocked them out of my head. As long as they were here and stood by our side, I was fine with that. I knew I didn't deserve apologies after what I had done. I couldn't even apologize to myself for my past decisions.

I could feel myself getting stronger as the hours went on. We trained until dawn the next morning, when Carlisle gathered us around, and there we stood, the Olympic coven in the middle, the vampire recruits forming a circle around us, and the wolves in the outer layer, now all in human form. It was time to plan.
