Thanks to JustcallmeRiley for last chapters story idea! (Chapter 15) It was greatly appreciated!

"She what?" I shouted in outrage.

"Tanya said she wasn't coming." Carlisle explained dryly.

"Why?"

He shrugged.

In the corner of my eye, I saw Alice scowl.

"Damn it, Edward!" she exclaimed.

"What? What did he do now?"

She sighed. "Tanya's not coming because, well, she got in a little...confrontation...with Edward." she said in a small voice. I could tell that it was worse than she let on.

"Of course." I breathed. Even when he wasn't here, he caused trouble.

The thought was strange. Edward? Causing trouble? It just sounded so bizarre.

I glanced toward the stairs, wanting to join Renesmee in sleep, but I couldn't.

For some reason, being on the same floor as Bella had been when she had died, well, it frightened me.

I thought back to when Carlisle had told Charlie that she had died.

He had been devastated, and screamed at Carlisle for not helping her, for not trying hard enough.

I cringed.

I went to the couch instead, hoping that my previous thoughts wouldn't give me any nightmares.

But of course, I didn't even get to lie down before something happened.

A howl ripped through the air and I shot through the front door and shifted to wolf form, not bothering to take my pants off beforehand.

What's happening? I shouted through my mind as my paws flew me through the forest floor, leading me to where the rest of my pack had gathered.

Vampires. We don't know them. Leah said, mentally showing me their faces.

Gold eyes.

Do you want us to kill them? Quil asked excitedly.

No! No, don't do anything. They are friends of the Cullen's.

Come on! Every time... Quil muttered to himself.

I arrived and screeched to a halt.

In front of me stood three pale, golden eyed vampires, their expressions surprised and laced with fear

I nodded to them in greeting.

Seth, I need you to run back to the Cullens place and tell them that their friends are here. I ordered.

He nodded and quickly complied.

We stood there for a moment, everyone tense and ready.

I quickly ran through the plan we had come up with to stop the Volturi.

Ah. No wonder. How many are supposed to be coming after this? Embry asked.

We don't know yet. Carlisle's still calling around. But expect some vampires, and don't kill them until you know that they aren't friendly's. I warned, wanting to kill as many bloodsuckers possible, but not wanting to ruin the chance of Renesmee being saved.

Seth arrived with Carlisle and Esmé.

I took a step back and my pack followed.

"Carlisle! Esmé!" The vampire with long, straight, blond hair stepped forward to embrace Carlisle, and then Esmé.

"Hello, Kate. It's so good to see you again." Carlisle said, Esmé smiling at her next to him.

"Eleazar," Carlisle nodded his greetings to the paled, slightly olive skinned, dark-haired vampire. "Carmen." Esmé smiled at the long-haired vampire, looking almost exactly like Eleazar, with the slight olive tone to her skin and dark hair.

"Hello, Carlisle, Esmé." Eleazar said, nodding his greeting as well, and taking Carmen's hand.

"So, why did you call us here, Carlisle? What do you need? We will gladly help you." the one called Kate said.

"Well, it is a bit difficult to explain. It is best to be shown."

Kate nodded.

We headed toward the Cullens place, and when we arrived I found a pair of pants behind a wide oak tree.

I mentally grimaced. I hated the vampires doing nice things for me. It made me feel strange.

None the less, I morphed back to my human form and put them on.

I made it back to the house before Carlisle had started to explain.

"What you are about to see will frighten you. But please, I beg you to let me explain before judging us. It is crucial that you pay attention to every detail."

They all nodded.

"We will try." Kate said.

"Jacob," Carlisle turned to me. "Will you bring Renesmee down, please."

The vampires looked at Carlisle with confused expressions.

I nodded.

I hesitantly went up the stairs, the same earlier dread crossing me.

I went into the room Renesmee was in and took her from where she sat with Rosalie.

"Ready?" I asked her.

She nodded.

I took a deep breath and climbed down the stairs
