3 Months Later - Marquette, Michigan

Edwards POV

I walked down the stairs with Bella grinning like an idiot as Emmett roared with laughter "jeez Edward what did you break?" his voice echoed through the entire house

"Eavesdropping were we? how rude" Bella chuckled, knowing how to handle Emmett and his constant joking

"Even without vampire hearing I could've heard you two a mile a way" I knew if I were human I would've blushed at Emmett's statement.

I walked into the music room as Bella and Emmett went back forth and saw Laurent sitting at the piano scribbling notes down on a piece of paper "Hey Laurent"

"Hi" he muttered entirely engrossed in his new composition

"would you like me to play what you have so far?" I smiled

"um yeah that would be nice." he said standing so I could take his place. I began to play his composition enjoying the feeling of my fingers hitting the keys. I had been surprised when Laurent had decided to stay with us, he was even attempting our diet. We had decided to make the move in case the werewolves (yet another mythical creature to deal with) found out that the Cullen's had broken the apparent treaty that existed between them when they changed me. Renee had visited a few times and she had surprisingly noticed my change in looks she put the translucent skin down to being stuck inside and the apparent extra 'beauty' to not seeing me often.

We were now living in Marquette, Michigan, one of the coldest cities in America the sun didn't show itself often and when it did school wasn't something any of us missed. Myself, Bella, Alice and Jasper were enrolled at Marquette senior high, the first day had been something that's for sure, when I had been human I was able to tune peoples thoughts out and often they came out fuzzy to me but after the transformation their thoughts were clearer and louder thoughts. Their constant thoughts of Bella had cluttered my head and without Jasper I knew I would've hit someone.

Laurent, Rosalie and Emmett had decided to attend Northern Michigan University, they had all chosen their various degrees and it would all be a breeze for them, the same went for Bella, Jasper and Alice in relation to high school. This was still my first time and I felt out of place, they all spent their time doing nothing in class and producing their homework in seconds whilst I struggled to learn certain things in certain subjects. I felt inferior compared to the Cullen family.

Laurent broke me out of my thoughts of Marquette "Edward, do you compose music?" he asked curiously

"when I was living with my father and still had a piano I did. I did write one for my mother when I was younger if you'd like to hear it" I smiled

"sure" Laurent and I had become quite close as the months went by, he wasn't as bad as the rest of the family had been thinking. He smiled as I began to play the tune my mother loved so much, hopefully one day I'd be able to play it for her again. Laurent nodded knowingly, even though I hadn't said anything aloud I could tell he knew what I was thinking "You'll be able to one day, her best friends son and daughter will stop aging. She'll have to find out that they're werewolves and once that happens you'll be free to find a away for her to find out what we are"

"thank you Laurent" I smiled.

We continued to talk when Alice barged into the room "I can't see anything!" she said sounding panicked

"what could that mean?" Laurent asked , I looked at Alice and caught a small glimpse at her thoughts

"The werewolves are coming" we said in unison.

"Why? How?" Laurent asked

"they must have figured out why we moved and they're coming to destroy us because we broke the treaty" Alice answered

"what can we do?"

"We're about to have a family meeting but all we really can do is wait, there's no doubt in my mind that if we run they'll find us" Alice said slightly calmer

"okay well to the living room" I followed the two of them through the door that led directly to the living room and went straight over to Bella wrapping my arms around her waist.

Carlisle's POV

I looked around at the family "Do you think they'll stop listen?" Laurent asked curiously

"it's unlikely but I certainly hope they will" I never wanted any violence but

It seemed as if a battle was inevitable, the werewolves had wanted a battle since day one and now they had a reason, listening wouldn't be high on their priority list. I was glad to have one more vampire on our side in Laurent.

"How can we get them to listen?" Emmett asked curiously

"We'll work on it Emmett" Jasper replied calmly as I saw the demeanour of the other family members change, Jasper was clearly putting his gift to god use. He knew I didn't need it, centuries of life had helped me to remain in most situations.

Bella moved with Edward as he sat down "Bella it'll be okay" he whispered to her

"do you really think so?" she questioned unsure of his reassurance

"I know so, I know Alice not being able to see the future could be a problem but I can hear their thoughts, every decision they make I'll know" he smiled.

Laurent's POV

I watched the exchange between Edward and Bella, it was surprising to see how much she trusted him and how much love they shared. All the relationships in this family were strong, being the 9th wheel was sometimes awkward but moving around had gotten boring fast the others never cared about me either, The Cullen's on the other hand had offered me a home and support. Being with them had slowly bought out the human emotions buried under the monster, Edward had been the one who chipped the first layer away from the monster. I had begun to understand how Bella and her family had taken in a human and cared for him, it was similar to the sympathy and care I had gained for him in those short minutes.

"I have an idea" I spoke up

"what is it Laurent?" Carlisle asked as Edward smiled

"If its possible we need to get them to change to their human forms. It could be hard but I believe if you are the one to speak first they might listen." I answered speaking to the rest of the family.

Alice's eyes clouded over as the family all looked in her direction, a blank expression graced her small facial features.

Edward was now grinning which seemed like a good thing to me "Well we're getting through the battle some how" he didn't need to give out details as a sense of relief washed over me and obviously the others. We sat around waiting patiently for the werewolves, that was the only problem with not having the visions, no sense of when they would arrive. I had noticed how much the family relied on Alice and some times Jasper, they all looked as if they were lost without knowing. Edward nodded in agreement do you always do that? I asked through my thoughts

"when I'm bored" he answered aloud

"is that often?"

"not really, I'm not bored often" he chuckled

"oh gee I never noticed" Rosalie interjected as the others laughed.

Edward stood up "Here goes nothing."

A/N: So sorry I took me so long to update and I'm sorry its so short. The next chapter will be longer. Promise. Haha I had a new fic Idea, I will write it out and see how it flows once I've posted a new chapter of waitress . R & R Please! =D
