"How do you think they're doing?" I whispered. Damien looked at me with gentle eyes. He shrugged. Suddenly his phone went off.

"Hello?" He answered. "Yeah we're okay here...what about you guys?" A moment of silence.

"Already?! Do you need any help?" More silence. "Okay, I'll ask. Hold on."

Damien looked at Edward. "Alice says she needs you there. I can take care of Bella if I need to. What do you think?" he asked.

Edward looked at Bella worriedly for a moment. He sighed. "Okay. Just keep her safe, please, Damien."

"I will." Damien said.

Edward kissed Bella on the forehead and headed out the door. I sighed. Now Edward was leaving? Were the vampires that tough? Or maybe they were being cautious. Because really…who knew what the vampires were capable of!

I frowned. Everything is my fault. Why is it that always when I'm here trouble happens? I've been more of a pest to this family than anything else. Maybe they'd be better off without me. I thought. I took a breath. Don't think like that, Morgan… I told myself. We will prevail through this. Just believe…

"Are you okay?" Bella asked me, her face displaying a worried look.

"Oh," I said, quickly changing my expression, not to let anyone know how I was actually feeling. "Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry about me, okay?"

Bella nodded. She looked lost in thought. "Omigosh!" She cried.

I looked over at her. "What is it…?" I said slowly.

"We should have the wolves help! Jacob would be glad to help! I think…" She murmured.

"Wait. What? The wolves? As in, werewolves?" Damien asked, his voice sounding incredulous.

"Don't sound so surprised, Damien!" Bella said, jubilantly laughing at her own brilliant plan. (At least in her own mind it was brilliant. Damien and I weren't exactly so sure.) "Yeah!" She said reaffirming herself. "The wolves could help out majorly!"

Damien's mouth was opened slightly. "I really don't know Bella… Would Edward approve of this?"

Bella frowned. "Who cares at this point what he would do! All that matters is that we have back up! We need backup in case they need it! Who really knows what those vampires could do?!" Bella cried.

I mulled it over. Well, it's not entirely a bad idea. The wolves could help us out a lot.

Bella looked expectantly at me.

I sighed. "I'm for it."

Damien looked at me, surprise on his face. "We need the help…" I weakly said in my defense.

Damien looked at Bella. "Are you sure they'll help?"

"Let me call him…"

Bella whipped out her cell phone and put it up to her ear.

"Hey, Jake!" she said.

"Well, we sort of need your help."

"All of us. The Cullens, Damien and Morgan…and me."

"Apparently, the vampires who changed Morgan are coming back for her and they've collected a group of vampires. They're coming after us. Preparing to kill Morgan."

"Because! For one thing, I need you! All of us need you and the pack! Why am I even explaining to you why you should help? Isn't it the obvious thing to do when a friend's in need?"

She sighed. "Don't be difficult, Jake. Please." Then, her mood did a 180 and she said: "Thank you SO much, Jake! Gather them around…"

The conversation went on as Bella told Jake where to meet the Cullens and the rest of us at.

"Well, considering your mood I believe he said yes." Damien commented. Bella grinned and nodded. "Yes! He's going to get the pack and convince them to help."

"What makes you so sure they will?" I asked.

Bella smiled. "For one thing, it's their job to protect Forks and the people in it. From, mainly, vampires. How's the pack going to react when Jake tells them basically an army is coming to attack? They're going to have to battle alongside us no matter what."

I smiled. "Bella, you're brilliant!"

She glowed. "Thank you!"

Damien smiled and laughed.

Then, his cell phone rang again.

"Hi—" He got cut off by obviously the person on the other end. "What?!" he cried. "Are you insane, Alice? I can't leave BOTH of them here! They'll probably find out sooner or later that they're here and kill them both!"

He sighed. "You're sure they'll be safe? I even promised Edward that Bella would be all right." Silence. "Yeah, I'll bring them over. But you're sure they'll be okay?"

He suddenly got a sour look on his face and took the phone from his ear. "She hung up on me! Definitely on purpose, too!" He muttered.

I rolled my eyes. "What did she say?"

"Okay," Damien said. He began to tell us:

"Apparently, everyone is fighting the nomads. Alice snuck out to call us. She says she needs to stay inside the house—the nomads won't know of course—and see the outcome of the battle. Or any sneak attacks the nomads will try to pull. She says she'll watch over you two, as well. And she says I have to fight, too."

My stomach lurched. "Wait. What?!"

"It's okay, Morgan. They trained me rather well in the Volturi. And besides, the wolves should be coming soon at this point, too."

I sighed. He was right. I really shouldn't be worried, but still! My husband is going into a brawl that nobody—at least so far—knows turn out of! Call me a worry wart, but I'm not so sure about this 'amazing' idea of Alice's.

"Let's go. Bella," he said, "Get on my back."

(The House)

"Morgan! Bella!" Alice embraced us both as we snuck into the house, undetected by the rogues that cluttered the outside, fighting with our own.

"How's everyone doing? How's Edward?" Bella asked.

Alice nodded her head, "Everyone's without injury and that's very well, considering what we're up against. I don't know how long we'll be able to keep this up though. We really can't fight constantly. I'm trying to get a vision about who'll be the victor of the battle."

Bella sighed with relief. "Thank goodness…"

Damien said he was about to go and join everyone else. He kissed my cheek quickly and rushed to join everyone.

I sat on the sofa and sighed. I couldn't believe what was happening. I prayed that everyone stayed safe—especially Damien—and we could end this fight once and for all. I couldn't believe the two vicious beings that had turned me were in such a close proximity to me. Just a little bit outside the walls I was surrounded by a bloody battle which refused to be over. I knew in my heart that the two vampires that changed me would stop at nothing until I was dead.
