Bella

"I still say we attack now,"

"Paul!" I scolded loudly, biting my lip to stop me screaming at him from across the Uley kitchen. Sam sighed and shook his head in Paul's direction. Paul was the only one to say so out-loud but on the run back to the house; I could hear all of them, all bitching about how I shouldn't be able to control who does what and that they should be allowed to do what they were meant to do.

Attack and kill Vampires. Sam agreed with me, which was all I really needed. To have the Alpha on my side was perfect. Jacob and Seth agreed too, despite how confused and angry they were. They were some of the youngest yet smartest.

"Well I'm sorry, but they broke the treaty." He shrugged, "They broke the rules and we're letting them get away with it, it's ridiculous." Paul continued.

"I doubt saying I agree will get me anywhere," Leah mumbled from the couch where she refused to look at us and instead flipped the pages of her magazine. I could smash the lamp on the table over her head just to shut her up. I turned to Paul and walked to him; put my hand on his bicep.

"Paul, please. I'm asking you to stop being so violent. Wolves can be violent creatures but they are loyal, I may be new here but I know what we should be doing and what we shouldn't. Don't you agree it's best to find out more before we strike?" Paul sighed and looked away.

"Look at me." His head turned to my direction immediately. "Paul, you have to think it's the best thing to do?" I asked. He sighed before pulling me into a soft, burning hug.

"I do."

"Paul!" Jared sighed and I bore daggers into Jared with my eyes, he stepped back.

"Pussies." Leah whispered beneath her breathe. If looks could kill, that girl would be six feet under and already rotting.

"So what do we do now?" Jacob asked calmly, he sat on the island, an apple in his hand. He bit into it and chomped down. I pulled away from Paul, whose fingers didn't release mine until I walked so far he had to let go and I sat on the wooden stool at the island.

"We wait for Edward to call me back." and at that moment my phone started to ring.

I went into the spare bedroom, the one I had woke up in after my transformation weeks ago, to be alone while I spoke to Edward. I stared at the phone before taking a breath and answering the call.

"Hello Edward," I greeted him in a tone that you could tell was strong, powerful, but at the same time polite and kind. I was a wolf now, sworn enemies according to myth and legend. We were on opposing teams. I was so thankful the treaty was there, to stop me from being forced to attack. But now the treaty had been broken, kind of, I just wondered what the future would hold for the Cullen's and my pack.

"Bella," he breathed gently down the phone like he had been holding the word in for a long time. "It's nice to hear your voice; it's been a time since we've spoken." Edward said.

"A long time," I corrected him, he chuckled and I imagined him pulling his crooked grin I came to notice he did often.

"Jasmine and Mark arrived yesterday; they told us of your meeting and your discovery of what I have done. I'm surprised the pack, your pack, hasn't attacked yet." he told me. I sighed and sat on my bed with my legs folded beneath me; I twirled with my hair for a second, and then rolled over to stare out the window at the trees that blew gently in the breeze.

"Believe me, Edward, they were ready to. Leah even abandoned the pack for a moment to come for you guys-"

"Leah, why am I not surprised?" Edward said and we both laughed. It really was a little awkward.

"Yeah. The entire Pack is furious, the Elder's are demanding an explanation. I mean technically you guys did break the treaty, you...you turned a human, Edward." I sighed and he sounded sad.

"I know, I know I did. I was foolish but I had good reason, it'd be better to explain if you came over."

"Came over?" My brows almost crossed. "You mean to your house?"

"Yeah, it would be nice for you and I too see each other again, catch up with one another. You can meet my girlfriend and we can tell you why she was turned. She isn't a danger at all, I can assure you. Please?" He asked. I waited for a moment to think about it. If I were thinking about it as a wolf, a member of the pack and protector or Forks, I'd see this as a trick, a trap to lure me to them for them to kill me, one less wolf problem to worry about seen as though the treaty is broken, that's what the others would think immediately anyway. But I was thinking about this as Bella, Bella who met and befriended a vampire. Edward.

Who crushed on him before she had to move. I know it was a long time ago, hell Edward had a new girlfriend, there was no chance of the two of us relighting an old flame, nor did I want to. I had moved on (Hence the sexy dreams about Sam and Paul) but still, it was all so confusing. I trusted Edward, but how could I convince the pack and my alpha to allow me to visit him?

"Sure," I blurted out. "When?"

"Now?"

"No. No. Absolutely not." Embry laughed at me like it was a joke.

"I agree, Bella, this could be a trap." Jacob added.

"She's an idiot," Leah called over her shoulder from the couch. I couldn't help it, I picked an apple from the bowl and pitched it in the air like a baseball player and let it fly. It burst open into multiple pieces on impact and Leah screamed and went flying off the couch; her face collided with the wall.

Seth fell off his chair with laughter and high fived me. It was a full four minutes before he had to leave the room, he was in so much pain. Sam ordered Leah to leave when she went for my throat. Being a wolf changed us, Sam had told me, we were still our usual selves yet our emotions heightened when we were angry or happy, whenever one of our emotions was perked up, all of them were and more so than ever before. I blamed that on my actions.

Totally worth it.

"Sam. It's the only way we'll discover what's going on. Edward and I are friends. He trusts me and I him. Carlisle wouldn't let him invite me if he thought there was a danger. You know Carlisle, even you trust the doctor." I told him and Sam bit his lip and then nodded.

"I do trust him," he said. I smiled headed for the stairs.

"Where are you going?" Paul asked,

"To get my coat," I told him, "I'm going to see Edward." Then at that moment both Sam and Paul took a step towards me.

"Then we're coming too."

I had seen Edward's house once when I met his family, a long time ago, but walking down the garden path to that magnificent white home made me feel as if it were my first time seeing it all over again. The white wooden panels gleamed as if immune to dirt and age, the flowers in the garden and leaves on the trees were glowing in sunlight the way a vampires skin did, dazzling.

Paul and Sam flanked my sides, the two of them insisted to stay as wolves but I told them the Cullen's would feel threatened and that this meeting would be a peaceful one. For some unknown reason, they agreed with me and phased back.

As we approached the steps to the house, the door opened but it wasn't Edward to greet us. Alice. She lunged and I think she lost control of her excitement for a moment as when she hit me we both went tumbling back down the porch steps and across the lawn. A move like that would have broken a bone and bust a lip if I were my human self but my body was more durable now, instead I found it hilarious and laughed as Alice clung to me.

"Bella! Bella, you have no idea how happy I am to see you again! It's been so long!"

"Only four months, really, Alice." I told her with a struggled breath.

"I don't care, I've missed you. But god...Bella do you stink!" She crumpled her nose and hopped off me, wiping her clothes as if I had been rolling around in dog muck. I laughed and shrugged. But my laughter came to a stop when Edward Cullen walked down the porch steps, his family right behind him. Of course he looked the same as the last time we met, but he was smiling at me. He wore a blue Jumper and Dark jeans, his bronze hair looked soft in the light and his smile crooked.

"Bella," I didn't hold back, I held him in my arms and we hugged each other tightly. Edward smelt exactly the same but I had forgotten how he smelt. Like roses and periwinkle, snow in mid winter but at the same time, the way it smelt when you were cosy indoors. Everything comfortable mixed in one.

"This is odd, the last time we were together you were human, and now...well," He paused,

"I'm a werewolf." I shrugged, tucking my thumbs into my jeans and he nodded.

"You're a werewolf." He agreed and we laughed but both stopped when the sound of heels caught my attention. I first through of Rosalie but was wrong. It was the other. Edward's Girlfriend. His mate. She leant against the doorframe smiling down at us and I took in her radiant beauty. Her face was the shape of an almond but was the colour of snow like the rest of the vampires. Her lips, however, looked untouched by the transformation, they were pink, baby pink but looked dark in the same way?

They looked round and curved too, unlike the rest of her features - her nose and her eyebrows and her jaw-line - which all looked carved and angular Her swanlike throat was exposed along with the majority of the top of her chest due to the white laced shirt with frilly short sleeves. She wore bright blue jeans that seemed to glow along with her as she walked out of the shade and into the sunlight, the sound of her caramel heals on the polished floor echoed everywhere.

Rosalie and Alice had really done a job on her, she looked like Rosalie, Alice and Esme all mixed into one. She had Rosalie's frame and beauty but the frailness Alice brought (and Alice's fashion, obviously) but looked like she was more of a mother figure, looked to be gentle and kind and loving, everything that Esme was made of.

Edward, I noticed, couldn't tear his eyes from her. He watched the angel with wide eyes, his hand outstretched to meet her own. She stopped next to him and tuned to smile at me.

"Hello,' she greeted, her voice rang like a lullaby. "It's nice to meet you. My name is Elizabeth but Liz, please."

Well, didn't I look like trash next to her in my rumpled and torn jeans, tank top and messy tumble of hair.

"Yeah, you too. I'm Bella." I told her, she shook my hand and I noted the way her nose twitched at my smell and the way her hand jerked at the touch of my fiery skin.

"Edward had told me much of you," she looked up at her mate with a smile, he returned one just as loving. "I cannot wait to learn all about you, and your kind." She chimed. Elizabeth, I realized, was perfect for Edward. She fit right in with the rest of the Cullen's more so than I ever would have, she spoke like she wad from another time despite the fact she had been turned only this week, and she had more love in her eyes for Edward than I ever could for anyone.

I felt myself ache with loneliness.
