HEYY!! Sorry it has taken so long to write. I am stuck still in school for two weeks, and its gotten me busy and tired. SO i haven't been able to write. Here is the next chapter!

Getting Prepared-Carlisle's POV

We had to research. We had to find out everything. We do want no one to die. Powers or not. But what can we do? The only reason the Denali clan is safe is because of Tanya. As of us, because

of being wise, and my family from being "vegetarians."

"Carlisle, has anyone been killed before because of something stupid like this?" Carmen asked.

"No." Carlisle and Eleazar said.

"Okay." Kate said.

"Um, Kate?" Alice asked.

"Yes?" Kate asked.

"I was wondering even though I know that Bella has a very strong shield can you work even more with her. It has been 100 years since this has happened. It seems like she might need to

extend her powers to more than she has ever done, if we are close to loosing." Alice said.

"Sure, Bella?" Kate called.

"I heard, I am coming." Bella said. "I will be right back love." Bella said to Edward. With that she left their room and came down the stairs to meet up with Kate.

"Practice in the back yard." Edward said.

"Fine." They said.

"Good, I want to keep you close." Edward said.

"I am a big girl now Edward. I am safe. Especially with Kate and her powers, and don't forget my powers too." Bella said.

"Fine love. Just be safe." Edward said.

"We will stay in the back yard, but we will be safe." Bella said.

"Lets go Bella." Kate said.

"Carmen? Eleazar??" I asked.

"Yes?" The couple asked.

"Keep researching. I am going to check on the others." I said. I then put my book down and went in search of the others.

"Rose, Em?" I asked before I entered their room.

"Yes?" They answered.

"Found out anything?" I asked.

"Yes, the Volturi have done some weird things, but this is the worst. They also used to not rule. They beat out Vlad and his mate before. That us why they hate each other." Rose said.

"So, Vlad and his mate would do anything to gain power again or have no one rule, and see if they can rule again." Emmet said.

"Meaning they have to wait a while to try and rule, since it was there idea to not have a ruler." Rose said.

"But this might kill them." I said.

"Yes, so we will do some more research." Rose and Emmet said.

"Alright, thanks. Check in later." I said before I left.

I then went to check Alice and Jasper.

"You can come in." Alice said.

"You feel.... happy?" Jasper said.

"Why is that? And we found out that around more than half vamps have powers, meaning only about 3/4 vamps are safe." Alice answered my unanswered question.

"Thanks... and because Rose and Em found info too." I answered her question.

"Alright. Thanks... I will check in later." I said.

With that I left to check on Kate and Bella were up to.

"Kate?? Bella??" I called.

"Just practicing." The responded.

"How far could you spread the shield the last time?" I asked.

"Um..... 100 by 100 I think." Bella said.

"Feet?" I asked.

"Yes." She answered.

"What about now?" I asked.

"About 500 now." She said proudly." Bella said.

"Wow! Great. Good job. I know Edward will be proud to know!" I said.

"Thanks." She said.

"We need to keep practicing." Kate said.

"Well, sorry to disturb, just checking in." I said and left to check on my love, Esme.

"Hey love." I said as I wrapped my arm around her.

"Hey. How is everything?" She asked.

"It is looking good. I think we can win." I said.

"Great... maybe we should all take a break and celebrate." Esme said.

"You know I want to...." I said.

"So why don't you. Take the night off." She said.

"Fine, but I will tell the others. We will start at 11:30pm tomorrow." I said.

"Oh no you don't." Esme said as I turned to leave.

"What?" I asked.

"I already asked Alice to do it for you." She said. I love the way she thinks. With that I got all distracted. The next thing I knew sun was shining through the window making Esme and I sparkle.

She is so pretty, but this made her prettier. We spent the rest of the day till 11:00 playing in soon got up and got ready to do more research.

Hope you like it. I will update maybe friday... then I don't know when. Maybe sooner.. if possible... thanks!!
