BPOV
I let out a low whisper, "Victoria." I shuddered remembering her. Edward pulled me closer to him. I knew how it felt to loose your mate and I could only imagine the pain she wanted to cause Edward. I pushed as hard as I could to get out of Edward's hold. I wanted to make sure that everyone heard me. "Charlie, we have to protect Charlie. She knows about him."
"Is he at work right now?" I nodded to Carlisle. "Okay, Emmet will you take the first shift of watching Charlie? While your there, see if you smell any vampire scent around the station."
Emmet nodded. "Got it. Bella it is great to see you, I really did miss you little sister. Try not to do anything too funny while I'm gone." He gave me his big grin, messed up my hair, and ran out the back door. I really missed Emmet, the big brother I never had.
"Bella, one us will be with you and Charlie until we end this conflict with Victoria." I noticed that Carlisle didn't say kill Victoria. If he could he wouldn't hurt anyone, but I knew that the others had something else in mind.
"Carlisle we need to talk to the wolves. I could smell them by Bella's house. They need to know we are back and make sure they understand the treaty. I ran into one of them on our first day back. I think it will be better if they are on the same page as us." Alice said. Carlisle nodded and went up stairs to his study. Esme, Alice and Jasper followed. What was Alice talking about? What wolves did she need to talk too and were these the things I heard in the forest?
"Edward." He smiled at me. How could everyone else be so calm? I was worried about Victoria and now these wolves. "Edward, what is Alice talking about? What about the wolves that are by my house?"
"Calm down Bella. It is going to be okay. Remember when your friend Jacob was telling you about his ancestor's stories about the cold ones and how his ancestors protected the land by becoming wolves?" I looked at him blankly. I vaguely remember that story. I was only concentrating on what the cold ones were. "Well for some reason Jacob's tribe has the ability to turn into a wolf. They call themselves werewolves, but in reality they are shape shifters. When we first lived in Forks, which was many years ago, we made a treaty with the elders to stay off of their land. Alice ran into your friend outside of your house. He wasn't too happy about our reappearance."
"My friend?"
"Yes, Jacob, um, I believe Black. He is one of them. I don't know if you still talk to him, but I don't think it is a good idea to remain friends with him. He is young and they don't know how to control their tempers. Anything could happen to you."
Rosalie huffed and went out the back door leaving Edward and me alone with the other five vampires from Alaska. I didn't even notice them standing there listening to us. Elizar and Carmen looked very interested about this news. Tanya kept staring at us. It made me feel very uneasy. She was beautiful and I couldn't compare to her beauty, well I couldn't compare to any of their beauty.
"Um, Edward I think you should take me home. I need to get dinner started before Charlie comes home." This was too much information to process in front of strangers.
"Okay." He swept me in his arms and ran out the front door. He put me down at the passenger door of his Volvo. I got in the car and put my seat belt on. He started the car and headed to my house going way too fast.
"Edward, Jacob is not my friend anymore. We had a huge fight because he broke a promise to me. When you left me I was broken. I didn't talk to anyone for a while. Jacob helped me mend my wound. We were best friends. He promised me he would never hurt me or leave me, like..." I looked at Edward. His face had so much pain in it. I couldn't finish that sentence.
"Like I did," he finished it for me.
"Yes." I put my hand on his. "That doesn't matter now. You are here with me and that is what counts. Anyways, Jacob broke his promise. He told me he had to go through some things and he didn't want me to go through them too. He must be talking about this. He is a werewolf? Do they eat humans?"
"Yes he is a werewolf and no they do not harm others. To my knowledge they are only there to protect their land from us or others like us." Edward stopped his train of thought when he pulled in front of my house. He sprang out of the car and was at my door before I even knew it. He opened my door for me and gave me his hand.
We went inside to the kitchen. I started making fried chicken and baked potatoes. I looked at Edward and he was crinkling his nose. "What's wrong?"
"It smells like dog."
"I don't smell anything." I sniffed around the kitchen, but I could only smell the chicken.
"He was in here?"
"Who?...Oh you mean Jacob? Yes he came by this morning to apologize to me, but we just ended up yelling. He actually was the one that told me you guys were here. I didn't believe him. I thought he was only trying to hurt me."
All of a sudden Edward perked his up in the direction of the front yard. "Charlie is almost here. He is having company over tonight." Edward growled. He stood in front of me in a protective stance.
"Who is coming over?"
"Billy and Jacob Black."
"Edward you have to go, Charlie will kill you if he sees you. I have to introduce you slowly." He shook his head. "Please Edward, I don't want you to leave, but I don't want Charlie to kill us both. I will keep my distance from Jacob. You can watch from outside the house. As soon as I go upstairs you can come in through the window. I will make sure it is open. Hurry!"
Edward reluctantly kissed me on the cheek and ran outside. In a flash his car was gone. About five minutes after I saw Charlie pull up; followed by the Black. This was going to be an interesting night.
AN: Sorry this chapter is short. I am going to do the next one in Jacob's POV. Also Victoria will be making her debut soon. But first, do you think I should continue with the story? If no one is interested I won't keep going. Please let me know. Thanks!
