Hey guys! I finally have chapter 9! Yay! I hope this'll be enough to hold you for a few more days. My family is still in the process of moving. (Very tough work as we have a lot of stuff. {Mostly my stuffed animals and Furbys :) } ) Anyhow, please sit back and enjoy chapter 9. Also, thanks to all reviewers. If you reply to this chapter, I'll know I haven't lost you! : )

BPOV:

Jake and the others had finally let me be for awhile. I had to promise I would stay in La Push though. They were making arrangements for me to stay with Seth's sister, Leah. She was also a wolf and could alert the others if Edward showed up.

They had told me that I'd probably be staying for about a week. Maybe two weeks. The story I'd told Charlie was that I needed some "girl time" away. Luckily, he understood, and I didn't have to give him too much information. So, for now, I was alone.

I wondered if I somehow called out to Edward, could he hear me? What did I have to lose? "Edward?" I whispered. "Can you hear me? Edward?" I listened. "If you can hear me Edward, I need to see you." I chewed my thumbnail anxiously. "It's important."

Suddenly, I felt another presence in the room. It came up to me from behind and began kissing the back of my neck. "My love." He stated possessively.

Momentarily forgetting the urgency of our situation, I allowed Edward to continue. His touch felt so good. I wanted to just forget everything else and give him my full attention. I allowed him to guide me over to my bed. He shoved aside my open suitcase that I'd been packing, and sat me down gently.

"Why have you summoned me?" He asked.

"We have to talk. You remember Jacob, right?"

His eyes darkened considerably. "What about Jacob?"

"He's trying to keep us apart. He doesn't understand." I pulled him closer to me. "We have to leave!" I was afraid for him. The way the pack had been talking, it sounded as if they were going to kill him.

"Has he hurt you Bella?" He asked with concern. He started looking me over.

"No." I grabbed his face and held his head still, making him look at me. "He wants to kill you!" I said frantically.

"Don't worry love." He soothed. "He cannot kill me. I am immortal."

"But Edward, he's a wolf!" I nearly shrieked. "They told me vampires and werewolves are enemies!"

"They?" He asked, surprised. "How many are there Bella?"

"At least seven! There could be more by now!" I was starting to cry. Jacob was supposed to be my friend. I'd just found Edward, and now he was trying to kill him.

"Bella, I need you to hold my hand and close your eyes. I'm taking you somewhere safe."

"You can open your eyes now." I opened my eyes and blinked when I heard Edward's voice.

"Where are we?" I asked, looking around.

"This is where I live." He told me. "What do you think of it?"

"This is Hell?" I asked, surprised. "I expected it to be..." I paused for a second to think of a word. "Hotter."

Edward chuckled. "Only in the fire pits." He assured me. "But we are far from those." He moved around the room. "This is my place. You'll be safe here. You'll find it quite similar to Earth. We have food. We have television. We even have bathrooms that are much like the ones on Earth. You should be comfortable."

After I looked around for a few minutes, Edward spoke again. "I have to go and speak with my father and brothers. Feel free to look around. You may help yourself to anything. I shall return soon." And with that, he was gone.

Jacob's point of view:

I pulled into the Swan's driveway and I immediately smelled it. Vampire. I tried to tell myself that it was only the remnants from it's last visit, but the smell was strong. As if it had just been here. I made myself calm down a little. I knew Bella had a good head on her shoulders. I also knew she trusted me. If I asked her to stay away from vampires, she would. Wouldn't she?

It wasn't like this was her fault. That leech had gotten to her somehow. Maybe he'd used his mesmerizing abilities to make her think she loved him. But I knew Bella better than to believe that she'd fallen for a bloodsucker. At least she was safe for now. And Leah had agreed to help keep her safe until that leech was dead. Once it was gone, the spell would be broken and she would return to normal.

Chief Swan let me in. Bella had told him that we were having a bonfire tonight at the beach, then Leah would drive her to her place. Charlie was leaving too. He was going to eat out tonight since Bella wouldn't be there to cook dinner. He was a horrible cook and he knew it.

He headed out the door and I called up to see if Bella was ready yet. No answer. I called again. Still nothing. Worried, I ran up the stairs and to her room. I knocked. When I heard nothing, I opened the door. "Bella?" I saw a half-full suitcase lying on the bed. "Bella!" I checked her bathroom. No one was there. I walked back to her suitcase and sniffed the air. The vampire odor was strongest here.

He must have run off with her. Where would I go if I were a leech? If I was trying to keep her away from a werewolf? Suddenly, I realized. He had taken her to Hell!

EPOV:

As soon as I found my brothers, I made them follow me to find dad. "What's up Ed?" Emmett asked.

"We've got trouble." I said in a gruff voice. "We have to find dad and gather the others."

"What's going on?" Jasper wanted to know.

"I'm not going to explain myself a hundred times!" I growled. "I'm going to wait until everyone's gathered.

We found our father soon. I told him we needed to call a meeting. He nodded and sent Emmett and Jasper to spread the word: Meeting in 30 minutes. Everyone must attend. In the meantime, I told dad what I'd learned.

Half an hour later, everyone had gathered in the center of our town. Our father spoke to them. "My son Edward has discovered something we've all been fearing for many years. Something that threatens our way of life, and even our very existance. A pack of werewolves has been discovered near Forks, Washington." The crowd gasped loudly. "However, I do not believe there is cause for panic. The pack is still in it's beginning. From what Edward has learned, there are only around 7 members. If we can take care of them now, there will be less to deal with in the future."

A cheer arose from the crowd. He went on. "We need volunteers to fight." He scanned the crowd. Several big, strong vampires stepped forward, my brothers and I among them. I could fight. But in this war, I could fight with the power of a thousand vampires. I would be fighting to protect Bella.
