We had only just left the council outlines when I asked my father a question, "Father would it be alright if I rode horseback home instead of riding with you and mother in the carriage? It's just the whole meeting has got me thinking and I can't help but feel I need to do my part. I want to think alone if that's okay with you?"

"Isabella I don't want to have you alone in those woods," replied my father. His eyes had a sharpness to them.

"I won't be "alone" I'll take a guard with me for protection. Please let me go."

"These woods are not safe and I won't risk my only child's safety."

My mother looked at me and then to my father, "She needs time give her that time. Let your strongest guards watch her they have never let us down before."

Here comes mom to the rescue she had on her best puppy dog eyes that we both knew my father could not resist. Back when they first met my father always said it was her angel eyes that drew him to her.

"Alright but Isabella be safe."

"Aren't I always? Besides I have the best training for battle in this country I can handle myself."

He stopped the carriage and had the men sort me with a horse and body guard. I waited until the carriage had left before I saddled my horse and followed slowly behind on the trail they left behind. I never really got to look around the area I lived in before and by my opinion I really should have. I spent most of my childhood locked inside a castle only leaving when Charlie said I could and I was always accompanied by a dozen guards like now for instance. At least I was almost alone.

The woods had a cold chill about them it made me wish I had more on that just a black blazer and thin white top, what I really wanted was a thick rain coat of some sort. I hadn't been riding for long when the trees started to rustle to my left. The wind was blowing strong so it was probably the wind playing mind games. I looked ahead of me andfFor a short second I swear I heard a sharp rustle coming from the trees and then I shadow flash by my left side. I looked over to the left side of the pathway, the woods had been divided carefully down the middle so a walkway was made for horses and carriages. It some ways it was good but in others it was bad for example if you were being ambushed from both sides you would be screwed. It was good because you could see clearly where you were going.

The trees rustled again and the same shadow I saw on my left was on my right. My horse could sense the presence of something as it grew startled and refused to grow any further. My body guards went into a quick protection formation with swords and guns at the ready. Not that they needed them really since we had our strength, speed and teeth.

Whatever was hiding in the forest didn't seem to scare the guards in the slightest, I wasn't scared either but for some reason I was chilled to the bone. I felt unprotected without my sword to battle I didn't like other lives protecting me but being the Swan House princess required me to have them.

Behind me a growl echoed the woods and one guard cried out in pain. I turned around and saw one of the guards was missing. How could they have missed it? We had sharp eyes nothing gets passed us. I watched in a state of shock as one by one each of my guards was taken out. There was only one guard left standing and he quickly jumped down of his horse and came over to my side.

"Come down princess it's will be harder for him to attack you if I protect you."

I jumped down quickly of my horse; the horse ran away quickly leading all the guards' horses with it. The guard pushed me behind him and started to ready himself for the attack. I saw the creature before it attacked I was too shocked the scream out loud and warn my protector. A large wolf leaped from the trees and tackled the guard to the floor. I was surprised to not be crushed under there bodies. The wolf was huge.

I got up and tried to help the guard by attacking the wolf with my sword, I used all my strength to dig the sword into the wolf leg. A loud howl escaped its mouth but it still refused to let go of the guard. I pulled my sword out of the wolf's body and tried to hit it again with another blow. The wolf saw what I was about to do and turned to me. The guard on the floor was already dead I had been too late to help him. I held my sword up high in both hands and prepared myself for the wolf to attack.

Instead of the wolf attacking me I watched in a daze state and he stepped back then he transformed into a boy.

The boy was tanned all over his body, his hair was cut into a jagged spiky style, with a body that was toned like a warriors. He looked only about my age but his height said he was a grown man. He was a giant. My sword dropped from my hand making a clanking sound as it hit the floor, I fell back onto the ground and started to pull myself across the floor.

"What the hell are you?" I screamed.

The boy spoke calmly and composed, "You know what I am?"

"You're supposed to be dead like the rest of then."

"Were not dead were just in hiding."

"You're a werewolf?"

"Bingo the child has got it in one."

I stood up quickly and pointed at him, "I'm not a child." I put myself into a fight stance and readied myself for a fight. He just looked at me like I was crazy to take him on.

"No because you sure act like one."

He had a cocky smile spread straight across his face like a Cheshire cat. He was obviously glad I was easily wound up.

"Aren't you going to kill me? You know what I am. My kind tried to kill yours." I asked.

"Where's the fun in that? I have a message for you to deliver anyways. Where not dead?"

"Where not dead?"

I felt something hard smack me on the back of my head .

Everything went black and blank.

.............................................................................

I woke up to the feeling of silk engulfing my body. I pulled myself up and opened my eyes trying hard to focus. The back of my head felt numb i touched it lightly with my hand and felt a scratch mark on the back of my neck. I heard my name being called from across my room I looked in that direction and saw my mother sitting on my sofa.

I spoke fast in a state of panic, "Mum what am I doing here? I was in the woods and there was th-"

"Darling slow down and just breathe for a second."

I took a deep breath in and my mom started to speak again.

"You were attacked when riding back from the council hall. Your father is furious all your guards were ripped apart bet we can guess who did it."

"Who do you think it is?"

"The Cullen's obviously your father has sent a message to the house already accusing them of the attack. It's only a matter of time before they confess and if they don't your father has his ways."

"But mum-."

"It doesn't matter darling your father has the whole thing under control."

My mum's arms wrapped around me tightly before she got up and left.

"But you don't understand it was a werewolf," I replied weakly.

Great I couldn't decide what was worse werewolf's are back or the fact my father just started another fight over a lie.

I'm sure they both will equal to some fight. I can't tell my father the truth he's already taken action he will look like a fool and I can't let that happen.

One thing I knew would come to question is why my skin was healing Vampires have a fast healing rate. When vampires got into fights the injuries was minamal. My neck was cut open with scars. It was healing just not fast enough. I could only hope my father hadn't yet seen it.

EPOV

My father's outburst echoed through out the entire castle, "What the hell?"

Loud crashing noises could be heard looks like my father was trashing the office again, I got up from the dinning table and made my way to my father. When I arrived in his office half all of his papers were on the floor except one. All of his books were on the floor and a couple of show plates my mother put in here were broken into pieces. She would kill him for touching those things. I went to pick the piece of paper, it was a letter I began to read what was inside. The first thing I noticed was the swan seal was melted into the front in a red wax print. I opened the letter and began to read. This wasn't going to be good.

Carlisle Cullen,

As you may have already heard my daughter was attacked today on her way back from the court's meeting. When we found her she was badly beaten on the back of the head while the rest of her guards had been torn to shreds and there bodies burned in a bonfire. We all know who the culprit is in this matter it's no secret to anyone that you don't like the fact I won't let my daughter marry Edward for your convenience. So it's no shock to me after the meeting you had your guards attack my daughter to get your message across. Well I can tell you this will not go unpunished. Unless you can convince me otherwise it is not you I will no longer tolerate your existence and be ready for war.

Sir Charlie Swan

I dropped the letter in shock, "We did no such thing."

My father turned to me calmly, "I know that, you know that but they don't."

"Are we ready for war?" I asked.

"We are but we were hoping the marriage of you and Isabella would stop this war. It has dragged on for too long and many vampires have been killed in the process."

"True but is there has got to be something we could do to stop this from happening."

"We need to have someone go to the Swan's and convince them it's not us. To tell them we did not step out of line."

This could be the thing I was waiting for if I got to go to the palace Isabella Swan would be right there I could do something to catch her eye. An act of heroism girls like that kind of thing. I would stop the war for a while with this visit. Thats heroic enough.

"I'll go."

"What?"

I laughed, "You heard me I'll go with a message to the Swan's and tell them first hand it wasn't us."

"What are you up to?"

"Nothing father I want to help you with this war."

"You have that stupid smirk on you face that tells me you have other intentions."

"No what's wrong with me helping?"

"Nothing if you are being honest about your proper intentions."

"My only intention is to stop the war for a while."

"Fine do what you want but just wait it will blow up in your face one day."

I smirked before turning around and leaving my father in his study.

" I want horses and a carriage also I want a few guards to come with me," I shouted out to a few servants.

"Yes sir," they replied before leaving me.

I would get to see Isabella and put my plan in motion this I could look forward too. I walked off and got ready we would leave as soon as possible.

BPOV

"Edward Cullen is coming now with a group of his guards," shouted the tower spy.

"What?" screamed my father.

"He is coming now he sent word ahead saying he claims to have a message for Isabella Swan."

"Well then let's see what the boy wants. Come Isabella we will go wait for him in the throne room."

I followed behind my father still worried about what Edward could possibly want from me. We had hardly spoken before so what made him want to come and see me now. Unless he was here to see me about the attack and call me a liar oh god I am screwed. I can't lie to save anything let alone my own head.

I sat down next to my father and crossed my legs, today I had on a long white dress that made my pale skin stand out more. Under the dress I had combat boots on my father had put me straight back into training after the attack. That's why I had the dress on he wanted me to practise in all types of clothing so I could be ready to fight in any situation. The training before had been hard but now it seemed he stepped it up a notch. I tied my hair up with a white ribbon into a pony tail and awaited the arrival of Edward.

When he did arrive the sounds of vampire's whispering echoed through out the castle. The doors to the throne room were pushed open and in walked Edward with a dozen or so guards. He was dressed in all black except for a silver chain that wrapped around his neck. I smiled at him before standing up like my father and bowing to him. Even though we all hated each other we showed some kind of respect to one another. My father ushered me forward before sitting back down. I walked down to meet Edward he bowed down to me when I reached him. As he stood up he took my cold palm and kissed it lightly.

Behind me I heard the cracking on knuckles from my father he didn't like guys paying attention to me at least the one's he didn't approve of anyways.

"Isabella I have a message from those at the Cullen House concerning the matter of your attack," said Edward.

I breathed in lightly before replying, "Please tell me this message."

Isabella Swan and to those it may concern at the Swan House,

I can assure you that it was not anyone from the Cullen House who did this attack we would never go to something so petty as to attack you when you are least ready. We go by the vampire law when we say we fight when called to a war battle. You have our support at this time and we also say we hope you are well.

The Cullen House

My father stood up sharply and starting calling Edward at sorts of names under the sun, "Father Stop." I cried.

"I believe Edward is telling the truth and I take back the accusation."

He was telling the truth and I didn't want his house to take the blame even if I hated him.

"Thank you Isabella and now I must take my leave."

Edward turned to go but my father stopped him, "As a way of saying sorry for the wrong accusation would you like to stay for a while here and train with Isabella. It's a chance for you to learn a few things and also see what the Swan House is like. You make keep your guards here if it makes you feel more comfortable."

Edward looked shocked at my father's offer but he agreed to it the same.

"How can I refuse such an amazing offer?"

REFUSE IT GOD DAME IT !!!!!

My father smiled, "Then it's settled Isabella will show you around whilst I contact you father and inform him the news."

"Thank you again Sir Swan."

"Your welcome Isabella show young Edward here around."

I stood there dumb struck had that just happened had my father just invited Edward Cullen into our House for as long as he likes. Someone has some explaining to do.

Currently having writers block these days with this story but hopefully things should go back to normal soon.
