BPOV:

"M... M..." I nearly choked on the word. "Mom?" I finally managed to whisper, though the word caught in my throat.

"Look at you!" She said in awe. "Oh my, how you've grown!" She walked around me, looking me over. Satisfied, she said, "Now Bella, why have you called me here?"

She listened patiently as I told her everything, about Charlie getting shot, about me selling my soul, about me and Edward being mates. And finally, about the wolves and the impending war. When I finished explaining, I was in tears. "Come here honey." I walked closer and she hugged me. "It's going to be all right. Here, dry your eyes." She waved her hand in front of my face, and suddenly, my tears were gone.

"We can stop them, but we must work quickly. Alice! She called. Another angel popped up by my mother's side. She was small, but she was beautiful. She had short dark hair and golden wings. "Rose!" A third angel appeared at Renee's other side. This one was taller. She had gorgeous wavy blonde hair. She also had a pair of golden wings.

"We're going to talk to the wolves." Mom explained. "No offense dear, but being in Hell is very depressing for angels. No need to worry, we'll be fine." She hugged me again. "You should go and talk to the vampires. When you're done, call me and let me know what happened. Let's meet back here in two hours." She kissed my forehead, then fluttered out my window with Alice and Rose.

I floated through the barrier back to Hell. I'd gotten there just in time. Edward was just getting back. "Oh, hello Bella." He said. "Were you awake?"

"Yeah. Um, Edward, we need to talk."

"I'm listening."

"You can't fight the wolves!" I blurted.

His eyes grew darker. "We have to." He explained. "Bella, if a werewolf knows there's a vampire anywhere on Earth, it'll track him down until..." He trailed off.

"And you have to go to Earth so you can hunt. Because there's no food source down here." He nodded. I continued. "And the wolves are trying to protect the humans, which are a main food source for the vampires." He nodded again.

"Hey, I've got an idea!" I said excitedly. "Have you ever tried- you know- getting blood from other creatures? You could try drinking animal blood."

"I would have to check, but I believe that any type of blood would satisfy our thirst. But yes, I see your point. Even humans eat some animals. It is possible that we could live this way."

I clapped my hands together. "And if you drink animal blood..."

"The wolves will have no reason to attack." He finished for me.

He picked me up and whirled me around. "I love you Bella!" He said, grinning. "But about the wolves?"

"Don't worry Edward, my mom's talking to them."

He started to nod as if he understood. But stopped suddenly. "Wait. Your mom?"

I nodded. "Wait til you meet her Edward!" I said excitedly. "She's so nice and sweet. And she's beautiful!"

"Wait a minute." He grabbed my hands to get my attention. "You met your mom?" He asked. "How?"

My face flushed with embarassment. "I um... went back to Earth while you were out.

His eyes widened. "You went to Earth? Bella, it's not safe!"

"Relax Edward. I didn't get hurt."

"No." He sounded a bit calmer. "But how did you get there?" He wondered.

I grinned and floated up near the barrier. "Same way as you." I explained, coming back down again. "Now if I may continue my thoughts...?" He nodded. "If the vampires only hunt animals, they still have to go to Earth to hunt, right? I suggest that you make a truce with the werewolves. You won't kill humans and they won't kill you."

"How do we know they'll keep their word?" He asked, doubtful.

I answered him with another question. "How do they know that you'll keep yours? Look, it's going to be tough for a while, but don't you think it'll be better in the long run? For both groups? Maybe it's finally time to put your differences aside and make peace."

He was silent for a few minutes, considering, letting my words sink in. He spoke again suddenly. "I'll have to run it by the others." He told me.

I hugged him. "At least try. That's all I'm asking for."

Edward left to talk with the other vampires and returned in half an hour. He was smiling at least, so things couldn't have gone too badly.

I returned to Earth soon after. Edward had insisted on joining me. 'For protection.' He'd said. I found my mom waiting in my room. She looked up and smiled. "The highest ranking wolves have agreed to meet with the highest ranking vampires to draw up a peace treaty." She explained.

"That's wonderful!" I exclaimed. "Did they say when?"

"Whenever the vampires are ready. But they said they don't want vampires on their land. So, the talks will have to take place in Forks or somewhere else entirely."

"I know a place." Edward said. "It's about ten miles from here. It's an old abandoned house in the forest. It's pretty rundown, but it'll be perfect for talks. As for when we're ready to talk, any time is fine."

"I'll go let the wolves know." Renee said. And she flew off.

I turned to Edward. "Thank you Edward." I said. "I know this won't be easy, but at least no one has to fight."

So... Tell me what you think. Please? I just hope you guys aren't too upset about me not updating in a while. . . :) Lots of reviews make me happy.
