BPOV

Five weeks after the fight

A set of 7 cards came towards me, willing me to catch them all with my clumsy fingers, fortunately there are not acting that way. In fact they were truly professional, like myself. "Isabella Swann, how nice of you to join us" I heard the boss say, looking at me directly in the eye. My fellow hunters all beside us. We sat at round table. One on the right side, being as he is the dealer, 2 on the ends (the boss and myself) and 2 others who are one of the head hunters in our society of hunters.

"Please, do call me Bella, sir" I replied smoothly, side glancing in the shadows where Zane and Lizzy stood. Always my faithful friends.

"What honor do I have on seeing here then…Bella?"

I sighed, and looked at my cards, thinking about a certain face that I seem to not be able to get out of my head.

"I want the Cullen's to have full protection from all Hunters. These are vampires who choose not drink out of human blood, but instead animals. I know for a fact that even the leader has followed by this since the day he was borne as one." I said, taking out a breath. The room became silent, so silent that one could here the smallest of things drop.

"How many are there" one asked beside me, I looked to see a girl.

Her name is Danielle, a girl I know to be from Mexico. With her dark tan skin, light brown eyes (through from what I heard, changes color), and Raven black hair. I really wonder sometimes where I have seen her.

"Seven" I replied, "Three girls, four boys"

"And how do we not know they will change their "animal" ways and drink?"

I sat there, pondering then, feeling all of the room's eyes on me. What garuntee do we have? Why are you even here? Then? Do you actually trust them? An inwardly self asked, but I knew the answer. I have known the answer, even when I tried to deny it. And I have realized this for the first time four weeks ago. When I saw the look of fear from Edwards's eyes, and I heard his minds voice worry of me. Through yet I still do not understand. Why would he worry over a human, much less me?

I shook it off, and went back into my memories, trying to find some proof that will show them they can be trusted.

Edwards lust for my blood…, I shook my head, no. but I cannot deny it. Seeing as he was always so stiff around me, especially so when wind blew in my direction.

I opened my eyes, not realizing they have been closed in the first place, and stared at the hunters around me.

"Because one of them lust for my blood, and for the past 3 months, he managed to restrain himself and stick to his diet." I sighed, "I trust them all, boss, with my life. For which they have saved once before"

He took out an ace and a 10 of hearts from the cards in his hand.

"11" the dealer said.

He stayed silent as the others made their moves, 15, 9. My turn came.

"I wonder how much you trust them" he asked softly, looking at me. "If I was to say you have 21 counting in your hand, in which your going to lay down, would you trust him with your life if even you didn't know. Or lets say, Carlen had a ace? If it depended on…his life, what would you say?"

"That he indeed has an ace"

Carlen, the other hunter he referred to, laid out his hand, and indeed there was an ace.

"Very well, but you don't exactly need me to, considering they already have yours and your fathers protection. You are from a legendary family after all, and the best of the best, as some say these days." He said, waiting for me to lay down my hand. I laid it down.

"21" the dealer said.

"Black Jack" I whispered and walked away, sighing with relief as soon as I got of the room. I could hear Zane grumble beside me.

"what's your problem?" I snapped, looking straight ahead of me.

"I cant believe you actually went to get them protection… I mean yeah the pro-"

"shut up, Zane" Lizzy and I both said, surprising me. She hasn't spoken since they night when we came home and talked, or rather me and Zane argued.

He went silent of course.

And I went to my thoughts, wondering why I did get them protection. Yes, Charlie did ask me to do so, and when he asks its usually more of a demand. But I wanted to anyways. Why?

I then I thought of the weird look he been giving me, at first, after he talked to me about getting them protection from the boss, I thought it was because of that.

But even after he looked at me, like he knows whats going on, even through I myself don't even know…

What is going on?

APOV

A green field, trees all around. I see myself smiling and looking at us all, Edward, Emmett, Jasper, Carlisle, Esme, Bella, and myself. We all are worried. But happy. Bella looks into the woods and sees over 25 people walking. Straighting herself she walks over the figures are familiar to her. I recognize Chief Swann among them, her father, also her friends, Zane and Lizzy. They all come back, some side glancing over to the trees once more.

Their Coming…

I took a big in take of breath and stared at the whole of the family, questions in their eyes shows me they want to know what this one is about. But all I can think is…who is coming?
