A/N So this be the new chapter. I was actually planning on updating this on Thursday, but as you all know, I live in San Diego so was unfortunately effected by the blackout. Even more unfortunately, I was working on my two other stories at the time, so lost most of those chapters. Those stories will be updated either tomorrow or Monday. I'm probably going to be updating on my stories either once a week or once every two weeks, depending on my schedule. So this is the training chapter and we'll see if the wolves are really as untrained as the Cullens think XD Mwaha! Enjoy and review please!

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight, SM does.

Jasper spoke up before they left. "We should train together as soon as possible. How does tomorrow night at 8 sound? Do you know the clearing a few miles from here?"

Sam nodded. "We will be there."

The pack was about to turn to leave when Esme realized something. "Bella, now that your father is gone, you have no place to stay. You shouldn't be alone now. We would love it if you stayed with us." Her eyes were hopeful while Rosalie looked none too pleased.

Bella grimaced. "No, thank you. I don't think I could handle the smell. Besides, I'll be staying with Paul; I've got a room at his place."

Venom tears filled Esme's eyes but she said nothing as Bella walked away, her hands clasped with Seth's as she walked back to La Push.

Chapter Sixteen: Newborn Fighting for Dummies

Bella grimaced as she felt someone softly shaking her awake. She had decided to sleep in since she hadn't really gotten that much sleep at the Cullen's, what with the smell and all. As soon as they had agreed where to meet, she had went to Paul's house and collapsed on the bed, falling asleep almost immediately.

She faintly remembered Seth kissing her cheek and saying he was going back to his house, as his mom hadn't seen him in a few days. Sue was, of course, in on the secret, but was worried all the same.

Now back to who was shaking her awake. Their hands were the same temperature as hers, so she knew they had to be someone from the pack. They were gently shaking her awake, so it had to be Seth, Paul or Sam, since the other guys would have just tipped her out of the bed. Plus, she felt a slight tingle of electricity, so it could only be one person. Seth.

Smiling now, she blearily opened her eyes and slowly lifted herself up until she was leaning against the headboard. "Is there a reason why you've decided to wake me up so early in the morning?"

Seth chuckled. "Morning?"

Bella nodded sleepily. "See, it's still dark outside."

He laughed harder. "That's because it's nighttime. And we're latefor the meeting. Apparently, Paul came in to wake you up an hour ago, but it seems you went back to sleep. So they sent me back here to get you up."

Bella jumped up. She vaguely remembered Paul's voice, but sleep had captured her attention at the time. "Shit! I slept for almost 12 hours!" She quickly got out of bed and scrambled to find something to wear before heading towards the bathroom to shower. "I'll be out in ten minutes!"

Seth shook his head, but waited patiently for her to come out.

Stumbling out of the shower, Bella slipped on a pair of shorts and a tank before deciding to forgo shoes. She would end up phasing anyway.

She rushed back into her room to see Seth staring off into the distance with a slight smile on his face. Walking over to him, she kissed the corner of his mouth. "Thinking of me, I hope."

Seth grinned and pulled her in for a deeper kiss, only stopping when she was out of breath. "Always."

Bella placed her hand on her chest to calm her breathing, shooting him a mock glare. "You did that on purpose."

Seth winked at her. "What can I say? I like making you pant for me."

Bella got a wicked glint in her eye and stood up on her toes to whisper in his ear. "Baby, there are many other ways you can make me pant for you." She pulled away, but not before sucking his earlobe between her lips.

His eyes darkened and he looked ready to tackle her onto the bed to do those very things.

Bella smirked. "But, we really should be getting to this meeting, don't you think?"

Seth growled. "You will definitely be paying for that one later."

She smiled wider, dragging him towards the door and then outside. "Looking forward to it."

Bella showed up, not fazed at all that she was well beyond being fashionably late. She had decided to ride Seth there, figuring that she would remain human to keep the peace until they actually started fighting.

Quil jeered at her. "You sure do ride Seth a lot, don't you Bella?"

She smirked. "What can I say? I like it rough."

Paul covered his ears, repeating 'Too much information' over and over. Sam just looked nauseous.

The Cullens seemed to be a bit disgruntled, while both Quil's and Jared's mouths had dropped open.

Bella burst out laughing. "Really guys? I haven't done it with Seth yet. Besides, if we had, we would never have managed to get here."

Edward looked like he wanted to make another comment about Bella's behavior, but wisely remained silent after Jasper shook his head at him.

Sam cleared his throat. "Now that Bella has finally decided to grace us with her presence, let's get started."

Bella grinned and leaped off Seth's back.

Edward sputtered. "You're not planning on allowing her to fight, are you?"

Bella narrowed her eyes. "He's not allowing me to do anything. It's my choice. Something you obviously know nothing about. As part of the pack, it is my duty to defend my tribe."

Edward pinched the bridge of his nose. "I am not denying you your independence, merely stating that as a new werewolf, you can hardly be controlled enough to effectively fight."

Several face palms and muttered 'idiots' resounded on both sides of the clearing.

Bella shook slightly. "Oh, so you think that I can't fight, huh Eddie?"

Edward sighed. "I'm sure you'll be able to protect yourself somewhat with the pack mind."

Bella saw red. "Oh hell no! That's it!" She glowered at him. "Eddie, who's your so-called 'best fighter'?" She even went so far as to use air quotes.

Edward smiled condescendingly. "Jasper. But Bella, it would be impossible for you to beat him."

Bella growled at him. "Wanna bet?" She gestured at Jasper. "Bring it on Emo-Boy." Not only would this wipe that smirk off Edward's face, but it would also prove that the Cullens' gifts weren't everything.

Jasper shrugged and stepped closer. "I won't go easy on you."

Bella grinned. "Didn't plan on it." She quickly phased into her wolf, not caring about the shredding of her clothes.

Seth was a little uneasy about his mate fighting, but he knew she could handle herself. Besides, it was pretty hot to see Bella fight.

Jasper and Bella circled each other. He had a calculating look on his face, while her lips were curled back in a snarl, giving in to her instincts. She waited for him to make the first move, and he seemed to do the same. Finally, after much circling, he lunged towards her, and she easily sidestepped him, searching for his weaknesses.

Seeing an opening, Jasper struck, causing Bella to crash into a nearby tree. She quickly jumped back up, snarling angrily at him.

Use his gift against him. Bella growled. This would be rather easy. She brought forth the emotions she had felt when they had left her.

Jasper immediately fell to his knees, and her sharp teeth were at his neck in seconds, one paw holding him down. Seeing that he was clearly in a lot of pain, she let up her emotions, howling in victory.

Paul scoffed. "That was your best fighter? Next."

Bella huffed in agreement, letting Jasper up and waiting patiently. Jasper stood up, slightly confused, but accepting his loss. The Cullens seemed wary of her now. If she could take down Jasper in seconds, she would be well prepared for the battle.

Peter stepped into Jasper's place. "Excuse my brother. He is a little rusty. I'll give you more of a challenge."

Bella chuckled, her laughs coming out as barks. She could tell that Peter was cocky and it wouldn't be too hard to manipulate this to her advantage.

She let him take a few swipes at her, pretending to let him win just until he got too confident. Peter sighed. "I guess it was pure luck that made you beat Jasper."

She ignored him, waiting until he came at her again to suddenly tackle him and place her teeth at his throat, effectively taking him off guard.

Peter looked shocked for a moment before sulking off to Char's side, a frown on his face.

Sam smiled proudly at Bella. "Now that we've proven that Bella can kick all of your asses, please inform us of what more we need to know."

Jasper stepped forward, "As I mentioned before, newborns fight much differently than more experienced vampires. They're uncontrolled and erratic; most of their fighting is ruled completely by instinct."

He motioned to Emmett. "Emmett is the best example of how a newborn will attack." He ignored the loud protest from Emmett and turned to face him. "You haven't proved me wrong so far."

Emmett laughed. "Oh, it's on brother!" He sank into a crouch and slowly began to circle around Jasper. No one made a move for a few seconds until Emmett made a lunge for Jasper, his hands reaching out to grab him.

Jasper easily side-stepped him and tsked. "You are too straight-forward in your attacks."

Emmett growled and lunged once more. Jasper stayed in place until he seemed to be caught, then in a quick maneuver, flitted behind Emmett's back and tackled him to the ground, his teeth at his throat. "And apparently easily controlled through emotion."

Jasper stood to his feet, brushing the dirt off his clothes. "As I said before, newborns always go for the easy attack and are ruled almost completely by their emotions, which is why it's hard to control them."

Jared looked confused. "If they're so uncontrollable, how do they organize into an army?"

Jasper's eyes seemed far away, as if he were reliving something. "They are promised more blood if they defeat another army or coven."

The pack was in an uproar over this. To have so many newborns come close to their territory just to feed from the area made it hard to stay put. Even the unphased members of the pack seemed to be on the brink of phasing.

Jasper immediately sent out calming waves to try to get the pack to settle down. "The sooner we train and prepare for their arrival, the more chance we'll have of stopping them."

Sam narrowed his eyes. "I would appreciate it if you didn't use your…gift…on my pack."

Jasper grimaced, clearly not pleased. He knew that though they were working together now, as soon as this was over, they would be enemies once more. And he didn't like that his enemies would have insight into their strengths. "Bella told you what our gifts are?"

Sam nodded. "Bella is a part of our pack. Her loyalty lies with us."

Bella huffed in agreement and looked in Leah's direction pleadingly. Leah seemed disgruntled, but held out a leg. Bella glanced at Jared, tilting her head in Leah's direction.

Jared frowned. "Why do I-" He muttered under his breath and quickly untied something from Leah's leg before walking back over to Bella.

Seth growled and blocked Bella from view. There was a tell-tale shimmer in the air as she phased back and quickly pulled on the summer dress.

As soon as he was satisfied that she was dressed, Seth too phased back and put on his sweats.

Bella narrowed her eyes. "Oh, so I have to be hidden from view when I dress, but you can just show yourself to the whole goddamn world!"

Seth sighed. "Your ex-boyfriend is here, and he's clearly still in love with you, so excuse me if I don't want him catching a peek."

Bella raised her eyebrow. "And what's your excuse?"

Seth shrugged. "I don't see any of my ex-girlfriends here."

Bella's mouth opened and closed a few times before she could speak. "You didn't tell me you'd had other girlfriends!"

Seth winked at her. "To be honest, babe. When we're together, we don't do much talking."

Paul growled and had to be held back from Seth by Jacob, of all people.

She reddened, clearly embarrassed. "Don't be expecting that to happen any time soon."

Jared and Quil stood off to the side, sniggering and watching them as if they were in a tennis match.

Peter stage-whispered to the Cullens. "It seems the sexual frustration is becoming too much. I suggest he fuck her and be done with it. She'll definitely be more even-tempered after that."

Edward looked disgusted and Rosalie grimaced. "Must you be so crass? I don't even want to think of her sleeping with that dog."

Bella broke away from her argument with Seth to glare at Rosalie. "I'm a dog as well Rosalie. And I'm sure having sex with Seth will be much more enjoyable than having a popsicle shoved between my legs. Not that I would know of course, but you do have cold skin." She added the last sentence when she heard Seth's rumbling growls. "You know, I really feel sorry for Emmett, he has to stick it in an icebox every night. And without the comfort of someone who actually has a heart after he's left unsatisfied."

Rosalie tried to lunge for Bella but was held back by Emmett.

Carlisle interrupted them before it went any farther. "Perhaps we should end this for tonight. How about we meet again tomorrow night, same time?" With a nod from Sam he continued. "Alice and Jasper would like to accompany your wolves on patrols today if that's all right?"

Sam grudgingly agreed and they parted ways.

Paul was going out tonight and apparently felt the need to lay some ground rules out for Bella while he was gone. Or maybe just one.

"I don't want Sethto set one foot through this door, Bella. Swear to me he won't…please. For my peace of mind."

Bella smirked and raised one hand. "I solemnly swear to not let my imprint set one foot through the door, while my overprotective big brother goes out to fuck a nameless white girl."

Paul, satisfied, shot her the same grin. "Why does she have to be a nameless white girl?"

Bella chuckled. "Nameless because you most likely won't remember her name in the morning and she's definitely a white girl because every other girl on this rez wouldn't be dumb enough to sleep with you."

Paul clutched his heart. "You wound me."

Bella smiled wider. "And yet you still don't deny it."

Paul shrugged and gave her one last hug before rushing out the door.

Bella waited until she heard him pulling out of the driveway before she ran to the phone, dialing the numbers she now knew by heart.

"He gone?"

"Yup."

"I'll be right over."

"Seth?"

"Yeah?"

"Come through my window."

She hung up and ran to her room, quickly sliding her window up. Seth arrived moments later, easily jumping through it and landing on the balls of his feet. "Is there a reason why I had to come through the window?"

Bella seemed preoccupied with his abs that were clenching with each panting breath.

"Bella?"

She shook her head and looked up at his laughing eyes. "Huh?"

"Window?"

Bella's eyes twinkled. "He said you couldn't come through the door. He said nothing about you coming through the window."

Seth stalked towards her. "I like the way you think."

She grinned. "Really?" She stood up until her lips were at his ear, now whispering. "Because now I'm thinking about licking something long and hard until I have to suck harder just to really get the flavor out. Interested?"

Seth had been hardening with every word she said and his eyes were darkened. "Hell yeah."

Bella brightened and pulled out a large lollipop excitedly. "Really? Because I've been waiting to eat this since I bought it yesterday."

Seth growled and tackled her to the bed. "You. Are. Such. A. Tease." He punctuated each word with a kiss on her neck.

Her eyes darkened as well, her panties dampening. "Are you going to punish me?"

His pants tightened even more, if that were possible. "Bella, when the time's right, and I really hope it's soon, I'm going to lead you to the brink over and over until you're begging me for a release. Then I'm going to fuck you so hard, you won't be able to see straight or walk for a few days. And when I mark you, everyone is gonna know that you're mine and no one else's."

He leaned down and began to kiss her passionately, practically groaning when she gave him access to her mouth. Her taste was addicting to him, like a mixture between sugar and her natural flavor, entirely irresistible. When she was panting for breath, his lips trailed down her neck, getting to a spot that she found extremely sensitive and sucking hard.

Bella moaned, her arousal filling the air. "Seth, I don't want to wait any longer. I love you and I'm ready. Plus, we can hardly be interrupted. Paul probably won't be back until the meeting tomorrow night and the others are either patrolling or with their imprints. Please Seth!"

Seth looked at her seriously. "Are you sure, Bella?"

Bella nodded emphatically. "Yes! I love you. I want you. Now please do something!"

Seth didn't respond, only leaning closer to begin a very long, but sure to be pleasure-filled night.

A/N Yes, I know. I'm evil for cutting it off there, but it will be a very good next chapter. The more reviews I get, the juicier it'll be XD
