I stared, wide eyed at Jake. "It's not Edward; it can't be. Charlie was too calm. If it was Edward, Charlie probably would have shot him."

Jake nodded thoughtfully, "Yeah, you're right. Well, I guess there's only one way to find out who it is."

He stood and reached for my hand, "come one," he said pulling me off the bed. I followed him down the stairs, peeking around him to see who my mysterious vampire guest was. Alice Cullen stood in the foyer, nervously tapping her foot. Bubbles of joy rose in my throat at the sight of her. I wanted to run down the stairs and throw my arms around her.

She looked at Jake and wrinkled her nose. "Hello Bella. Jacob," she said in her musical voice.

"Alice," I said more calmly than I felt.

"How are you?" she asked, inspecting what she could see of me, the parts that weren't hidden behind Jacob.

"Fine, thank you. And you? How have you been?"

"I'm fine. Can we step outside?" Alice stepped into the front yard.

Jake grabbed my hand, "Come on, I can't breath in here. The stench is awful."

We followed Alice out onto the damp grass. "Look," she began, "I'm only here because of Edward." Alice paced back and forth. I looked at Jake, then back to Alice.

Get to your point, I wanted to shout. But I stood there and waited patiently for her to speak her peace.

I paced back and forth in front of Jacob and Bella. I wanted to hug Bella, id missed her so much, and now I was here to bring her probably the worst news she was going to ever hear.

I stopped pacing and faced Bella and Jacob. "I don't know where to begin," I sighed, "Edward-he- well he's gone…crazy, I guess you could say. He's been stalking you Bella, pretty much since the incident in Phoenix. He told me he 'never really left you' and believes you still love him." They both just stood there staring at me; neither seemed really surprised by this information.

"We already knew he's been stalking her. I've seen the photos," Jacob said.

"Oh. Well, okay then. He's planning on breaking the treaty. The details aren't clear; you and your pack mates make things rather fuzzy. But he's planning on 'rescuing' Bella from you Jacob."

Jacob's face fell, "Are you serious?" he asked incredulously.

I nodded. "He's planning on just what exactly? Walking onto the rez?

I nodded again, "And it will end badly." I wasn't looking for sympathy from Jacob Black; I wasn't expecting him to give Edward a free pass. The treaty was in place for a reason.

"Alice, what do you want us to do? We can't stop him from walking onto the rez," Bella said.

"Well," I said in an unsure voice, "you could beat him to it. You could come to my house and talk to him."

"No!" I said firmly, "Hell no!"

"Jacob, please. I don't want to lose my brother," Alice pleaded.

I looked at Bella, "It's up to you," I finally said, "We can go now or we can bring the pack with us, just to be on the safe side."

Bella looked from me to Alice, back to me. I knew she didn't want to do this and I hated having to be the one to dump this on her, but it was her he wanted, so would have to be the one to send him away.

Bella took a deep breath, "I'll come out there under two conditions."

"Okay."

"One," Bella said holding up her index finger, "Jacob comes, and he does not leave my side."

"Okay," she nodded, "Second?"

Bella held up a second finger, "I want the pack to be in the woods. Just in case."

I was proud of her for not backing down though it would have been infinitely easier to run and hide on the rez.

Alice nodded her head, "fine," she said, "but just so you know, I'll be calling Emmett and Jasper. Just in case Edward has a problem controlling himself."

"When should we expect your call?" I asked Alice.

She closed her eyes for a moment, a look of extreme concentration on her face.

"What is she doing?" I whispered to Bella.

"Trying to," Bella made parenthesis with her fingers, "'see.'"

"See what? What's she gonna see with her eyes closed?"

Bella snorted softly, "the future. Remember?" she wiggled her eyes meaningfully at me. The subject of the Cullen's special abilities had come up once. "She's trying to see if Jasper and Emmett will come. How long it will take for them to get here; anything that will give them upper hand."

I nodded, damn fortune telling vampire. Alice opened her eyes, "Two days," she said absolutely. "Is that enough time for you?" she asked us.

Bella looked at me. I crossed my arms over my chest and nodded. "That's fine," Bella told her.

Satisfied the matter at hand was finished, I kissed Bella. "I'll give you a minute," I said tilting my head in Alice's direction and then I crossed the squishy lawn and went back inside. I stood in the doorway and watched Bella hug Alice.

"I've missed you" I heard Bella tell her.

I would have to say that Jacob Black surprised me. He complemented Bella in a way I'd never seen when she was with Edward. Jacob was literally Bella's other half. It was also slightly disturbing how he protected her by not protecting her. He made her stand on her own two feet, think for herself and make decisions on her own. She looked to him for support, and he gave it; but he never once coddled Bella like Edward would have done. She truly was better off without him in her life. That fact alone made me truly sad.

After I left Bella's, I directed my snappy yellow Porche back home. Edward was still sitting at the ruined piano, playing the haunting version of Bella's lullaby. I don't think he left the piano once since I'd come home.

"Where have you been?" he asked dully.

"I went to see Bella," I told him as I set my purse on the piano and began shuffling through the contents searching for my cell phone.

His entire demeanor changed, "I know. I can smell her on you. Her and the dog," he growled.

I located the cell phone and flipped it open. Esme answered, her warm, homey voice laced with concern.

"Hi Esme," I said wearily, "it's much worse than I originally feared."

I launched into the details of Edwards obsession. Then I got to the point, "I need Emmett and jasper to get out here; just in case."

She set the phone down and called Jasper and Emmett to the phone. Jasper picked it up, "you still pissed?" he asked.

I ignored the jab, "Can you and Emmett please fly out here? He's going to try and bite Bella if she refuses him. I can't handle this on my own."

"Okay," Jasper sighed, "We'll be on the first flight out."

"Thank you," I whispered.

"We should have listened to you Alice. I'm sorry."

"It's okay Jasper. You guys couldn't have known. None of us did."

"I'll see you soon. Love you."

"I love you too."

I stared at the pack's faces. The only one who wasn't surprised to hear that Edward had gone batty was Jared, and that was because he'd been there when we found the photos.

"So in two days time, Alice's brothers should be here from Maine. All Bella wants is for use to be there. Moral support and all," I told them all.

Sam stood next to me, "Okay Jake. We can do that." He looked each member of the pack in the eye, "As soon as Jacob gets the call you all need to be ready."

After leaving Sam's, Quil, Embry and I walked down toward the beach. The three of us quietly walked. I'd stop and pick up bits of shell or an odd colored piece of sea glass and shove them in my pocket.

"Dude," Quil said, breaking the silence.

Embry and I looked at him, "What?"

"It's too quiet."

I kicked the sand, "Sorry. I'm just a little pre-occupied," I mumbled.

"It's all good man," Embry said, elbowing Quil in the ribs.

"Look guys, I'm sorry I haven't been around much. The whole stalker Edward thing and all that; I swear once this is all over, we'll go to Port Angeles, see a movie or something."

Quil chucked a large, flat stone into the choppy surf, "Okay Jake. That sounds fun."

The two days had passed faster than I liked. I awoke that morning to the sun shining in my bedroom window and the phone ringing. I answered with a nervous, "Hello."

"Good morning Bella," Alice chirped.

"Morning," I grumbled.

"You don't sound very happy," she pouted.

"Of course I don't sound happy. I get to face your brother today. I'm not exactly looking forward to that you know."

"Oh yea, I forgot about that. Well not really. Jasper and Emmett are here. Will you be ready this evening?"

I gulped, "yes."

"Okay," Alice sang, "see you tonight."

I hung up and called Jacob.

"Hullo?" he said sleepily.

"It's me. The other Cullen's are here. We're meeting them at their house tonight."
