A/N: hey everyone I'm back and here is the next chapter. Also if any of you guys noticed that in the last chapter one of the names of the werewolves in Stella's pack changed in the middle of the chapter. At first it was mentioned two times as Dean but then later was mentioned as Ayase. I just wanted to clear this up that it will stay as Ayase and not Dean. Sorry about that and the many grammar and spelling mistakes I made in the previous chapters; I'm going to try and work on that. Also I'll try my best to make it as least confusing as possible. Thanks to anyone who reviewed or added my story to story alerts and faved it. Thank you everyone!
P.S. And introducing in this chapter are the profilers. Background info on all the characters you don't really know anything about. Plus at the end of each individuals profile you are asked one question It tells you what's what and who's who. Hope you enjoy it!
Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Twilight characters but I own any characters that I have created.

Can you tell what his true problem is?
Maximus: Age 26; met Stella when he was 18. He and his little brother, Ayase, lost their parents at a young age and went into foster care. The only good thing is that they didn't get separated but every house they went to got worse and worse until Maximus had enough and got emancipated and got legal custody of Ayase. They got their own place and everything but they moved into a bad neighborhood with a lot of gang feuds going around. Maximus got mixed up with the wrong crowd and Ayase had to pay for it. Maximus had to rescue him from one of the gangs. That's when Stella found them. She saw how they were living and how they were barely making it by, so she offered them an opportunity. They could come live with her and join her family with free board and food but the catch was they would have to become werewolves and they had to decide right then and there. Maximus thought about it and thought she was joking. So he agreed, only later did him and Ayase find out she wasn't joking when she turned them and had them move in.

Ayase: Age 18, looks it too. Met Stella when he was twelve and has never regretted becoming part of her pack once. You pretty much heard his story in Maximus's profile but here are some things you didn't read. He has never really fit in anywhere because of the way he looks. He is very petite and looks like a girl which brings him trouble. Guys seem to want him even though they are straight and girls hate him because their boyfriends are obsessed with him. This caused him trouble in new homes, new schools, and new environments. Even at first in Stella's pack he had trouble but his brother has always been their supporting, comforting, and protecting him but most of all loving him for who he really is but even though Maximus is his brother he holds a dark and dangerous secret that could even destroy the bond they have. Ayase has been through a lot of traumatic things but even so he is still very cheerful and positive with everyone and everything, he is also very kind and loyal. He trusts his brother with no doubt, loves him with all his heart, and would follow or do anything for him. He keeps his mind open and is very care free, only problem is he is very naive. Height: 5'3", Body Type: Slim and petite, Eye Color: Sky Blue, Skin: Pale Cream Weight: 101.6 pounds, Hair: Blond (different shades) and long and shaggy (bed head mostly).
What he lives for: "…My brother but do I have to pick only one person or thing?"
What you want most: "For my brother and my pack to be safe."
What you can't have: "Well…it's not really what I can't have…well if you look at it one way it is but I really can't have a good relationship with anyone but everyone is so nice I think."
They always say Blood runs thicker than water but can blood withstand the love one has for another?
Chapter 4 Ice Cream
The house was in an uproar. Almost all the Boys were running around trying to clean the place up before the Cullens got there. Even though they wouldn't be here until four and it was only ten in the morning. I groaned. I can't believe I actually agreed to let them come to my house. To top that off I said my boys would show them around the town. They are so going to get attached. I groaned again. This will not end well. I glanced over to where Jamie was. He was pulling a box across the floor with a tone of his toys in it. I laughed at how cute he looked trying to pull the box; it was at least twice his size. I sneaked up behind him, being careful not to make a sound, and then made my move. I swooped down picking him up and then in a second I was at the couch and I laid him down showering raspberries on his bare stomach and tickling him like crazy. And then I heard it, the sound that could make anyone smile and one of the many things that I love about him. His laugh slipped past that enormous grin on his face as I continued my attack. I stopped as it seemed to look like his face was turning blue. I know I'm horrible but I love his laugh…It's very precious to me. As I took a seat on the coach next to Jamie he scrambled to get on to my lap and then sat face to face with me. I smiled and then wiggled my nose against his; he smiled and then laughed again. A smile spread across my face now unable to contain it anymore. And then I saw that look in his eyes.
"What do you want?" I asked in a fake suspicious voice.
"Ummmm well we don't have any more ice cream and I thought since we were having guests…"
"Ice cream you say? For the guests? Hmm would it have anything to do with you just wanting ice cream?" I said as I started to tickle torture him for the answer.
"Hahaha…hahaha…Yes…hahaha…hahaha."
"Ah so now the truth is out. What do you think I should do? Get you ice cream even though you tried to trick me into getting it for you?"
"Ahhh please Stella, PLEASE!" Jamie said and then gave me the look. Big, innocent puppy-eyes. I could never say no to Jamie when he gives me this look.
"Okay but you have to clean your room in five minutes. Deal?"
Jamie's eyes grew big and he sat there for about five minutes just thinking if he should agree. He narrowed his eyes and then asked, "what's the catch?"
"No catch, but if you don't finish cleaning your room in five minutes you don't get any ice cream…I do!" I said playfully, I would never do that to him but it was fun messing with him. Jamie's eyes grew big and then he really thought this out. Finally he agreed to it.
"Okay once we get to your room the timer starts." I said and Jamie nodded in understanding. Then I raced Jamie up the stairs carrying the box he was pulling before in my arms. I let him beat me; I mean you would too if you say how cute he was, trying his hardest to beat me. I couldn't not let him beat me, that would be too cruel.
Right when we got to the room he started to clean. Running around, swooping up toys as he ran, and throwing them into his toy box. Then he started with the books everywhere. Of course by the time the timer went off his room wasn't done, it barely had a scratch on it, and you still couldn't see the floor. I some what wondered how it got to be this messy. I looked at Jamie sympathetically and then kneeled down and beckoned him to come over by me. He lowered his head and walked over to me, seeming to know what I was going to say. When he got in front of me I made him raise his head and he was crying. A tear dripped onto my hand. And I smiled at him and said "guess what." He whispered "what" pathetically. "What's your favorite flavor?" I asked him and his face became bright again. Then his face turned quizzically, "but I didn't finish" he said and then I said "what are you talking about? It's the cleanness room I've ever seen." He turned around and the room was spotless; his face became one of excitement and then he ran to his bed unable to keep his excitement in and jumped onto it, jumping on it until it made my head hurt to even watch him.
"Hey, go get your coat on and your shoes. I'll meet you down stairs." Jamie nodded and jumped off the bed, ran to the stairs, and then ran down them.
I sighed with relief and then walked to the closest wondering 'how it held all of it'. I opened the door and then jumped back as all the junk that was on Jamie's floor before poured out of it. I sighed with frustration. This was probably a one time thing. I still couldn't believe I pulled it off. In those five seconds that Jamie turned around I was able to run past him, run all around the room picking up everything on the floor, and then throwing it into the closest. After that made his bed, cleaned off all the dressers and shelves, and then fixed all the books on his book shelf. Plus I had to get back to where I was and in the exact same pose. I almost didn't make it but I did and now Jamie was happier than ever. And me, well I had to clean this mess in less than a minute. "Yay me." I said with fake enthusiasm.
By the time I was done with the room Jamie was getting impatient. And yelled up the stairs telling me to come on and hurry it up. I growled but then smiled wondering if I was like this when I was a kid. I started for the door and looked back into the room before I closed the door and turned off the lights wondering what they were doing right now.
"Stella cooommme ooonnnn!" Jamie roared up the stairs and I sighed heading down the stairs.
'Maybe I should have left him in his misery and the dirty room…' I thought as I spotted Jamie with my coat and shoes in his arms and I shook my head in disbelief of how much this boy loves ice cream. And within a minute we were off to go get the little monster sugar that he really, really didn't need.
'I wonder what they are up to…' I thought as I buckled Jamie into his car seat and hopped into the driver seat.
With The Cullens (Alice and Gunnar face off)
Alice stared at a tall young vampire with blood red shaggy hair, red eyes with electric green specks in them, and a blood red jagged heart jewel that had a black chain and black labyrinth around his neck. Alice stood mesmerized by the jewel on the black chain around his neck.
"So what you're telling me is that you actually agreed to have dinner with them!" Gunnar shouted on the top of his lungs at her.
"Well yeah, is there a problem with that?" Alice asked calmly refocusing on the conversation at hand.
"No, of course not you just agreed to letting Stella know that we are working for Aro!"
"How would she know?" questioned Alice.
"Because she has seen me before, she purposely let me go to tell Aro what had happened!"
"So you're saying I.S. 1 is Stella."
"Of course, who else could it be?"
"Well this suspicious guy named Von for starters."
"You met Von too? Did you meet all of them?"
"Well yeah, why is that such a shock to you?"
"Because she let you live."
"What do you mean by that?"
"There is only one thing that that thing is good at and it is killing. Especially if her pack is in danger! Don't believe anything that thing tells you unless it's a death threat. She may look like an innocent girl or what ever but she isn't. All she cares about is herself and her plans. Don't be stupid and get fooled by her! Don't make the same mistake me and my comrades made."
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about the multiple I.S. 1 missions that have failed. None have returned except one lucky son-of-a-bitch. But was I really that lucky? I've wondered and now all I want is revenge."
"……Uh okay Mr. Negativity! You'll get your revenge, whatever that really is. But for now we have to get close to them, make them trust us, and get all the information we can. Since someone won't give us any. So for now just deal with it, she already knew you were here before we even told her plus someone in her pack knew too, so get over it."
"Another bone I have to pick with you is that you always cut Carlisle off. You both are the team's leaders so try to talk things through with him and not make decisions on your own. Other then that, except for a few pet-peeves of mine, I won't ask anything else from you."
Gunnar straightened himself out, gaining his composer as he smoothed back his hair. Alice smiled and came up to him and started an attack on his hair messing it all up. She laughed at the murderous expression on his face while he mumbled incoherent things that had something to do with "vision girl" and her demise.
"You know Gunnar people would like you a lot more if you acted more like you did before and not all robotic like usual, it makes you seem less of a prick and more human. I mean it has done wonders on the way I look at you." Alice said grinning as Gunnar blushed at the compliment.
"Now you say thank you." Alice said looking at him expectantly.
He mumbled a-not-so-reassuring thanks and walked off. Alice smiled and shook her head at his responses; she always got a kick out of them. But all of a sudden her face became serious and she stared down the hallway Gunnar had just gone down.
'What are you hiding?' Alice thought as she recalled the tint that took form on his face before.
Gunnar's POV
'I can't believe this! I loose control for five seconds and this happens.' I thought as I turned into a room on my left, closed the door behind me, and I found myself in a bathroom. 'No point in locking it, they could just break down the door if they have to get in here.' I thought, grabbing a hold of each side of the sink's edges and leaning on it. I then looked at my reflection in the mirror.
'Damn it!' I thought. 'My face is bright red!' I can't believe I blushed at such a silly little comment. I stared at my face until I couldn't stand the redness anymore and turned on the faucet. I splashed some cool water over my face hoping it would help the situation. It did but not fast enough. I backed up against the wall behind me and slide down it when my back made contact with the cool surface.
'Can this get any worse?' I thought as someone knocked on the door.
"Gunnar are you in there, darling?"
"Yes, what is it?"
"Well everyone is meeting in the living room to discuss about tonight. May I come in and have a word with you?"
'And it just did. If I say no she'll get suspicious but if I say yes she'll see my beat red cheeks.' Gunnar thought as he saw a baseball cap out of the corner of his eye.
"Uh, um sure." I said as I grabbed the baseball cap that I saw sitting on a hamper a little ways from me and put it on concealing my face and this embarrassing blush. The door opened and Esme stepped into the small little room and closed the door behind her.
She smiled warmly at me and leaned against the sink facing straight at me.
"I know it's been hard on you, getting use to living with us and having to deal with our problems as a family on top of that. Well I was just wondering, how you are doing so far? Is everything okay?"
I didn't know really how to respond to this. No one has ever asked me how I was doing or my opinion on anything before so I was caught off guard. For a moment I wasn't sure if I would be able to respond but I did.
"I'm doing fine; just a little flustered is all."
"Oh, what about?"
"The fact that we're having dinner with the enemy tonight. We're not nearly prepared; if one of us makes a mistake this whole operation could be ruined. How could he be so foolish?"
"I see were you are coming from but we may not get another chance like this again. You have to see all possible angles of this situation. Choosing to have dinner with her and her family is the best option. I know Carlisle should have talked to you about this but even the rest of us were surprised at him. We usually just follow him since he is the leader but now he and you are the leaders. So things are a little difficult with everything. It's kind of like in a werewolf pack, there can only be one alpha. If there is two it will only end in failure. But I think if you two work together we'll come out of this as the victors."
I looked at her long and hard trying to figure out if what she was telling me was sincere or not but couldn't in the end. Esme looked at my face too for the first in the bathroom since it was covered with the ball cap and I was looking down. Purposefully so she wouldn't be able to see the blush. But in the end she did and a worried expression appeared on her face.
"Gunnar dear, is your face alright? Are you blushing?" she said trying to be as polite as humanly possible.
'I guess it was time to have a little family discussion about our little situation we are in.'
Stella's POV
"Okay Jamie go pick out whatever flavor you want." I said as I towed two shopping carts along. As I passed by things I threw them into the cart but only things they would eat.
'Bacon, eggs, pickles, hot dogs, luchables (for Jamie), milk, chocolate milk, strawberry milk…' I continued my mental dabble of things I needed and threw (not literally) them into the cart (each have a different quantity though depending on what it is for example bacon I need like ten pounds = ten packages of the stuff but milk I need different quantities because they each like one or the other or both, yes I know very confusing but that's what I get for going to the store when we are running low on food but I've done it plenty of times…then again they'll pretty much eat whatever you put in front of them). My mental drabble was cut off as a black figure bumped into me. My eyes opened wide and I turned around to see who it was but no one was there. I turned around just shoving it off and continued with my shopping.
I got to the frozen food section already knowing I need a ton of food from this section and started throwing in pizzas of every kind, TV dinners, hot pockets, fish sticks, fries, frozen veggies, and ect. I caught up with Jamie and started throwing in random favorites of theirs such as Fire Crackers, Push-Ups, and others and then came the quarts of ice cream. Now there Jamie had a field day. After getting other essentials from this section I moved on and got a few other things like chips and drinks. Soon I was done and heading to the check out were my other two carts were and I looked down at Jamie who was in the toddler seat in the cart and I asked him what was up. Since he seemed a little uneasy.
"Stella there's a strange man looking at you. Do you know him, he's wearing all black?"
Immediately I turned around but no one was there again.
"Um, I don't know Jamie I couldn't see." I said but even though I couldn't see him I defiantly could feel his eyes one me but where was he is what I wanted to know.
"Do you need help with your bags miss?"
"Oh, no thank you I got this little helper with me, right Jamie?" I said as I tickled his tummy and he squealed with laughter. But then I felt a presence behind me and my whole body stiffened.
"I insist." I turned around knowing that voice from anywhere and stared at the man in back of me.
"Alright." I said as I let him take two carts and I took the others.
"Stella do you know him?"
"Yep, he's an old friend." I said which was kind of true. We loaded the car with the groceries and I strapped Jamie into his car seat and told him "I will be right back; we just have to have a grown up talk." And he nodded in understanding and I sneaked him a popsicle as I shut the car door. I walked till I was out of hearing range of Jamie and turned towards the man cloaked in black from head to toe.
"What do you want, Alphonse?"
"Why Stella, do I need a reason to come visit my favorite pupil?"
I raised my eye brow at him. He pouted and mumbled you ruin all my fun.
"But anyways it's been a while since I last saw you. How have you been?" He purred as he placed his hand on the car behind me and leaned in closer. I inhaled and felt a little dizzy, I always did think he smelled good but not in a dinner kind of way but in a manly kind of way. This is saying something because most vampires I meet I want to eat.
"Same old, same old, Aro just sent a new crew here and all. They have a new tactic though this time. Instead of following me and my family around like creepy stalkers, they are going to school with us."
"Sounds interesting." He said smiling at the way I told him everything and got so into it. I blushed, one of the many things I got out of being a hybrid. But Alphonse seemed to find it cute.
"What are you doing tonight?" He asked sounding like a school boy asking the most popular girl out. My face went blank.
"No."
"What do you mean "no"? I didn't even ask anything except what are you doing tonight."
"Yeah but if I tell you I'm free, you'll say lets meet up. And then I'll say I don't know sounding unsure but then you'll sweet talk me into coming to meet you. Then I'll stay with you for like a week and I have a test tomorrow in AP Chemistry!"
"Nah, that won't happen I have to do something tomorrow too. You know you aren't the only one with a life." I looked at him disbelievingly but decided to trust him and give him the benefit of the doubt.
"When and where?" I asked unenthusiastically. He pouted again and I couldn't help but laugh at him. He looked like a two year old upset over spilled chocolate milk.
"Roof of your school at midnight. Don't be late or you owe me a kiss and you'll have to instigate it." He said as he kissed me on the cheek and was gone. I blushed again and hurried back to the car. 'I can't believe the nerve of that guy! I will defiantly not be late this time, no matter what! Good thing they are coming over early today.' I thought as I got into the car and looked at Jamie, he was sleeping. Of course, I must have taken at least ten minutes talking to Alphonse. And ten minutes is a really long time for a kid to wait, believe me. I was about to start the car when my phone range. I picked it up and asked hello.
"Stella, it's me Blake. What time did the Cullens say they would be here?"
"Oh, around four, I would say."
"Oh well good, there is just one problem. They are already here."
"What?" I said as I looked at the clock on the dash board and it read half past four in the afternoon. 'Wait they aren't early, they're late! And so am I!' I thought as I started the car and started to drive towards my house.
"Just keep them entertained until I get there. Do not talk about yourselves and what not, play a board game or a video game but do not under any circumstances…"
Beep Beep Beep. The phone call was cut off.
"Talk about yourselves." I finished throwing the phone onto the empty passenger seat next to me as I sped towards my house faster than I have in a long time unwilling to let the Cullens take advantage of my sweet boys to find out information on me and ways to make a move. I already have a plan for that.
Just then my phone rang again. I immediately picked it up.
"Blake, Blake? Are you there? Hello?"
"Stella it's me."
My breath caught in my throat as I heard his voice again. The same voice I heard not moments ago.
"Alph…"
"No don't speak. Just pull you car over and put it in park." The urgency in his voice made me do what he asked without question. For never have I heard such an emotion when he spoke. When I pulled over and parked, I asked him what was wrong and he was silent for a few minutes. I looked at the clock, Blake and the desperation in his voice never leaving my mind. Finally Alphonse spoke; when he did he asked something of me.
"Stella I need you to do something for me."
"I need you to remember." I pictured him speaking on the other end. Saw his lips move, saw many emotions run through his eyes, saw him sitting in a tree with a cell phone pressed up against his ear ready to smash it into millions of little pieces, saw him holding a picture of me in his other hand. The picture became distorted. Stating to bend and move farther and farther away and all became silent. He spoke two more words that echoed through my head. And then I blacked out; the two words still echoing in my head.
"Remember, Bella."
A/N: Done! Well not with the story but with this chapter. Anyway this chapter has kind of taken me awhile to grind out of my brain and onto a computer. And I have kind of been tweaking it for a long time but I think this is decent even though it wasn't what I pictured this chapter to be. I wanted to make it longer! I am sorry for the wait if anyone was waiting for it, though I doubt it. So, not much else to say except please review and tell me what you think of it and I hope I get the next chapter up quicker than this on and the last few. I'm Sorry! I'm a very forgetful person! Well, see you next time! Later.
