Hello people! I'm so sorry I haven't updated in a while, school has been rather busy but I am now on Christmas break for two weeks so I'll attempt to update more often these weeks. Thank you Ali Lane, ShadowCub, and liliachill for the reviews; they were appreciated. Well without any further adieu enjoy the chapter!

Date: Saturday, June 3

Place: Cullen Home

My fingers gently brushed my wedding ring as I sat in thought about the fight to come. There would possibly be casualties on this side of the fight; I feared what would come if I were to lose any of my family. I even worried for the wolves if they lost someone; how their families and lovers would feel. I was pulled from my thoughts when I heard the gentle steps of Esme.

I turned to her to see her stepping into the hallway where I sat on the ground looking out the window and into the dark forest.

"Evian is everything alright?" she cooed like a loving mother. I turned to her with a kind smile and she returned it.

"Everything is just fine Esme, I promise", she nodded and turned away walking off to Carlisle's office. I leaned my head against the wall closing my eyes. Thoughts flickered and flew around in my head for some reason especially Jasper's story of the once evil woman colleague, Maria. My thoughts flew to the man Riley and then back to Jasper. Then like a light it popped into my head….Victoria! We had never even considered Victoria in this whole thing. I shot up and I couldn't run fast enough to Jasper to tell him.

Later that Morning

"So Edward isn't participating in the fight?" I asked Jasper as we strolled through the forest in more of a crawling speed.

"No, I have agreed I cannot have any distractions especially that of Edward's desire for Bella", I nodded in agreement as I tucked my hands into my pockets. I glanced over at Jasper once before I began to chuckle. He raised an eyebrow in question and amusement.

"You seem like the general of a battle and I'm your second in command", I gave him a toothy grin as he pondered it before laughing as well.

"It would seem so, but ever since I've met you I could just tell you have an amazing tactical ability most males nevertheless females of this time have; you'd have been a great fighter in the Civil War", I gave another grin in thanks as we continued to where we had to go. I felt a strong connection between us through that forethought I had.

I pushed through the clearing to find Jacob pacing back and forth; he shot around toward us his eyes landing on Jasper only for a second before looking at me. I gave him a smirk and he scowled at me which just increased my smirk.

"So why am I here", he questioned his arms crossing over his bare chest. I placed my hands on my hips and my eyes met Jasper who was on the left of me. He just stared at Jacob and I knew I'd have to answer.

"You'll know once Edward and Bella show up", I gave a short answer. We were met with silence which just increased the tension; this agreement was already very tense and uncomfortable for both parties. Finally Edward and Bella appeared with Bella looking rather relieved.

"I've…I mean Evian and I have chosen this place as the place for the battle to take place", Jasper said when they met us in the middle of the large clearing.

"Why's that?" scowled Jacob his eyes searching the clearing.

"Tactical advantage", I answered before anyone else his eyes falling on me. His eyes glanced down at my body and I rolled my eyes turning my shoulder to him. I wore simple black flats, black skinny jeans and a gray shirt with my old leather jacket.

"So this place will be the best because if we center Bella's scent on the area the newborns will come here; but that's where you come in Jacob", I explained for Jasper who was having a mental conversation with Edward.

"What about me?" he asked.

"Well Edward cannot carry Bella to her hide out because he cannot mask her scent but you can", I told him calmly with a blank stare.

"With your stench", added Edward with a smirk at his cold behavior. Jacob glared at him and stepped forward a little.

"You know you don't smell that great either", he said coldly with his fist clenched.

"Either way, your…odor will make them stay away from the area and just come here", finalized Jasper before there could be an argument.

"Fine by me", Jacob answered looking like he was enjoying the idea of carrying Bella too much.

"We need a test run, so if you would", I said motioning to Bella with as calm as a demeanor as possible my patience wearing thin for the werewolf. Bella was picked up by Jacob and they made their way into the forest.

"Evian if you would please", I nodded and shot through the forest trying to catch Bella's scent. I went around three times but caught nothing so I returned to the clearing to find Edward and Jasper speaking.

"I don't mean to interrupt but I didn't smell any Bella, just a lot of wet dog", I said calmly as I hopped over a tree and into the clearing next to them. I glaze at Edward for a bit noticing the wore out look on his face. "I know it's hard Edward but it has to be done for Bella", I said trying to comfort him the best I could. He gave another pained look before nodding.

"It's almost time", muttered Jasper quietly and I nodded in agreement.

That's all for now! Sorry there was no Rosalie and Evian stuff in here but I really wanted to show the comradely behavior between Jasper and Evian. Please review and I'll update sooner. Til later, Toodles!
