Happy Hunting:

Edwards POV

We stood waiting, Alice was behind a tree being as still as she possibly could, our families scent was all over the field so the visitor may not sense her presence right away.

As I stood waiting, I could feel my tension roll off me in waves. Finally Rosalie returned informing me with her mind that Bella was ok, still pissed at me but fine all the same.

Alice's thoughts broke through "He's here he will want to know how you knew he would be coming – get creative if you feel like it or you can tell the truth it doesn't affect any of his decisions" I only nodded in response.

"Greetings old friend" the voice floated over to me from the behind a tree, my stance changed to a protective one and a small feral growl erupted from my lips.

"I am no friend of yours, as I remember we have already dismembered you once, why would you think I was a friend?" my head cocked to one side listening for any other strangers approaching, a mental chill rain throughout me as I remembered the group he travelled with when we had first met.

"You've already killed me once you will not be able to do it again boy"

"How? You were dismembered and burned how can it be" I don't think that there has ever been a vampire in existence that has been as confused as I was by his appearance.

Alice came into view then from behind a tree where she had been poised for this very meeting. "I think I can answer that for you Edward, from what I've been able to see; Jonathan here has the ability to regenerate, quite remarkable actually. How the Volturi haven't tried to convince you to join them I don't know" As soon as she had spoken her words the images flooded his head allowing me insight into his existence.

"He's been under the radar so to speak, they were after him from when they attacked out home, when his men…" I spat the word "butchered our siblings, he had hoped to make amends with his trip back only Sofia's blood called to him and he let the monster win" my voice was dripping with venom and I knew I would not hold my anger any longer. I could tell that Jonathan was not shocked that I could hear his thoughts, looks like he has been doing his homework on the family before his visit – how thorough.

"Yes and then you killed me, not very nice it was an accident and well all know accidents can happen. So as you can see my mind reading friends I am here purely for revenge. It has taken some time to shake loose those who wish to capture me but now I am free from those shackles. I'm not sure why I've bothered to come to warn you about my plans, however it does seem to make the game more sporting if you know that I'm going to rip your little family apart one by one and when there's only you and your insignificant human left I think I will make you watch as I kill her then watch your torment begin. I may kill you I may not I still haven't decided that yet. Well I will leave you to ponder your impending doom" His cheerful attitude was long past annoying the life out of me, my arms twitched by my side itching to have them feel his neck beneath them. A growl rumbled from within my chest a warning that my patience wearing dangerously thin.

"Well on that note I think I will take my leave, happy hunting Edward" with that he was gone, I started to run after him but a pair of large over muscled arms snapped around my waist hoisting me back to the house.

"Emmett!" I screeched at him "Put me down before I claw your eyes out"

"Whoa there Eddie Boy, you need to calm down before I get Jasper to help me and we know how much you just love that" he chuckled as he set me down on the sofa, after that; things became a blur. I just stopped, I was aware of people and things going on in the surrounding area but I couldn't move. I was going to be made to watch every one I love die, the man was unstoppable he couldn't die how can you win against that?
