Do not own Twilight!

I'm not really happy about how this chapter….flowed if you know what I mean…

What do you think?

Rizza's dress for flashback on profile!

READ! READ! READ! IMPORTANT! READ!

I forgot to state that in this Alec was turned at sixteen not thirteen…

Okay? Thanks!

"What you mean you've seen her?" Rizza asked not taking her eyes off the screen.

"Victoria, she's coming back." Alice told them.

"Fantastic let's go redhead hunting!" She smiled not looking up from playing video games with Emmett and Jasper.

"Of course you'd say that." Edward stated folding his arms.

"In my mind I'm flipping you the bird." She told him killing some more zombies.

Emmett chuckled and Jasper gave a slight grin as well.

"So what are we going to do with dark haired and clumsy?" The New Orleans asked her family throwing down her controller as Emmett won. (This time.)

Edward growled.

"Er…I mean what are we going to do with Miss Trip-Over-Her-Own-Shadow Bella Swan?" She asked smiling sarcastically.

"I'm taking her to see her mom for a few days, as a precaution."

"You're the fastest one here Edward is that wise?" Jasper asked.

"No." Rizza replied for him.

"I'm going; with her." He told them narrowing his eyes at his adopted sister.

"Okay! Okay! You're a mind reader Edward; you're not going to be able to shoot lasers with your eyes any time soon. I'm not frying so stop trying!" Rizza told him and he growled.

She quirked an eyebrow basically saying; try me.

He snarled.

She chuckled.

He growled again.

She smiled.

His grip on the counter top tightened.

"Okay enough you two! That's marble!" Esme told them lovingly but sternly.

"Yeah listen to mom! Bullying your little sister, for shame!"
"That's not what she said!" Edward replied.

"It's what I heard." She shrugged before leaving the room.

"I'm never gonna win with her am I?" He asked.

"Not a chance." Alice said from the corner of the room head in a book.

-SATURDAY NIGHT-

The Cullen family minus Edward stood in a clearing in the forest Alice in the middle at the front Rizza directly behind her backs turned from each other.

Alice was a Seer, but Rizza loved to track and hunt.

"You sure this is where you saw her?" Carlisle asked.

"She's almost here." Alice said.

Rizza nodded, she felt…something…

A few more seconds of silence…

"ON YOUR LEFT!"

They took off. Speeding through the trees after the red-haired menace.

Victoria jumped over a ledge landing on a rock.

"Wait! She's in their territory now!" Carlisle told his family.

"You've got to be fucking kidding me!" Rizza stated as she started to run beside Victoria the river and the boundary line dividing them.

The wolves appeared out of nowhere on their side also chasing Victoria.

"She'll get away!" Esme shouted.

"NO SHE WON'T!"
She jumped again, landing on their side as Rizza and Emmett charged up behind her.

After she jumped again it became very clear what Emmett was going to do.

"EMMETT NO!"

He jumped anyway, a wolf, a large one appeared out of nowhere and threw Emmett back over the boundary line and into the river…..

Victoria got away.

"We'll get her next time." Carlisle said as they got inside their home.

"There shouldn't be a next time." Rizza told him knocking over a lamp as she stomped up the stairs.

-A FEW DAYS LATER-

"Rizza."

"Yeah?" She looked up at Jasper.

"Someone's been in Bella's house, a vampire we don't know…."
"On it." She stated standing up flashing over to her jacket and putting it on. "Let's go hunting boys." She told him and Emmett who'd also appeared.

It was….disappointing to say the least as they returned with absolutely nothing…

Not good for Rizza's track record but dude she wasn't Demetri! Tracking was something she picked up because no one else in the family would really go it and well…she liked being able to find things.

She did when she was a kid….in the 1920s.

"Who is it?" Carlisle asked. "Someone we know?"

"I didn't recognise his scent." Edward said.

"A nomad passing through?"
"A passerby wouldn't have left Bella's father alive." Rosalie said as the three Cullen's entered.

"Scent disappeared five miles south of Bella's house." Rizza told them. "Probably had a car waiting. This wasn't an accident or a passerby. This was intentional."

"Someone's orchestrating this." Carlisle said.

"Victoria?" Bella frowned.

"I would have seen her decide." Alice shook her head.

"It has to be the Volturi." Edward said.

"That scent wasn't Alec's or Demetri's." Rizza stated distantly. "I know them."

"I don't think it's the Volturi either. I've been watching Aro's decisions too."
"So we keep looking." Emmett stated.

"Oh joy…" Rizza said dryly.

"We'll also take shifts guarding Bella and her house."
"Another protection detail?" Rosalie asked.

"I actually have to agree with this one. So not only do we have to look after Bella and Charlie but I'm probably going to be doing most of the tracking and we usually work in pairs so there's that and the fact we have to eat." Rizza said. "This is quickly becoming Mission Impossible and not the movie." She stated dryly.

"Rosalie, Rizza…"
"No they're right." Bella said. "You can't protect me, watch my dad and search for the intruder…"
"And look for Victoria." Rosalie told her.

"Yep there's also that, thank for Rosalie." Rizza nodded. "Let's add that to the chore list for the Vegetarian Vampire Family."

"…And keep yourselves feed." Bella finished.

"I'm not leaving you here defenceless!" Edward said.

"Well I'm not going to let you starve! And I wouldn't be unprotected I have…"
"What?"

"Ar-Ar-A-Ooo!" Rizza fake howled dryly.

"…The Wolves."

Of course Edward hated this idea but it wasn't just about rivalry anymore. It was about Bella's safety and Charlie's.

In the days that followed they somehow managed to work together, wolves taking over for Cullen's could hunt.

It wasn't exactly an easy alliance.

Bella noticed Rizza rarely ever had 'guard duty' and her attendance record at school had gone down to maybe two days a week.

According to Edward the New Orleans native had grown frustrated with tracking the intruder's scent and had almost turned it into a 'pet project.'

To him it almost seemed like a distraction for her.

"From her real problems." He told Bella.

"Real problems?"

"Rizza's memories, the parts she was missing have either come back or are very quickly returning after Italy…flashes in her mind that if she could, she'd probably have a headache." He stated dryly.

*FLASHBACK*
-NEW ORLEANS 1922-

"You don't fear me?" The vampire asked her.

"Should I be?" She asked him. She touched his face. "You're eyes are black. You need to feed." She said.

It wasn't a question.

"Yes." He replied. "And that's why you should be afraid of me."
"Why because your eyes go from red to black when you're hungry? I'm shaking in my boots." She told him.

"You should fear the fact I'm hungry…..you should fear my very nature."
"You do know you say fear a lot right?" She told him. "I'm not afraid of you Alec. If anything you're afraid of me."

"And how did you come to that conclusion?"

"You're natural instinct is to….eat me?"

He chuckled. "For lack of a better word. Yes."

"Exactly and…just guessing here…you haven't been able to 'eat' me. And that makes you frightened…it makes you scared…I frighten you…"

"Should I be?" He asked her.

She turned to face him as they arrived outside her house, the weather was cloudy and the rain had just stopped so he was free to walk around freely without worrying of him giving off diamonds when the light hit him.

"I don't know. You tell me." She smiled brightly and kissed his cheek before using her key to open the door to her home.

She winked at him briefly before shutting the door….

Two chapters? In one day?

HELL YEAH! ;)
