A/N: Hey everyone, so I have a deal for you. I have about 5 chapters that are about ready for posting. If I can get about 25 reviews for each chapter, I will update a new chapter as soon as possible. If I feel a chapter is too short, I will post two. But, if I don't get 25 reviews then I guess I will be posting whenever I feel I am too ahead of the game or whenever I have lots of time. Think about it.

~Thanks!

When I got home, I parked my car in the driveway. I took in a deep breath before I got out of the car. I walked up the steps onto the porch and put my hand on the doorknob. Here goes nothing. I told myself. I opened the door and looked around. Everyone was sitting in the kitchen laughing and eating.

"Hey guys!" I exclaimed while shutting the door.

"Hey Bells!" everyone said.

I took off my jacket and hung it up. They all continued to talk and eat. My heart began to race at the thought of telling them that I ran into a vampire.

I walked into the kitchen and saw Sam looking at me, smiling.

I went and sat on his lap, taking some chips from his plate.

"You ok?" he asked with his head on my shoulder.

"Ye-Yea…of course. Why?" I said fidgeting in his lap.

He put a hand over my heart and I looked down at his hand. He then looked back at me with a raised eyebrow.

"Oh." Was all I could think of at the moment. "I-….I….well I ran into some vampires." I said as soft as possible.

Silence. All of the chattering stopped and everyone looked at me. Sam's hand that was resting on my lap was now in a tight fist. I winced.

"Sam." I whispered slowly looking at him. I could tell he was clenching his teeth, and trying to hold in the bubbling anger. I heard a growl escape his lips and he started to tremble. The guys swiftly took me off of Sam's lap and held me back.

"Sam, come on dude." Jared said moving him outside.

"Wait. No, it's not like that." I exclaimed.

I moved Jake and Seth away from me and went over to Sam.

"I met with a vampire. Umm…Dr. Cullen?" I said.

Sam relaxed a bit, but only a tiny bit.

"Where….How….What…?" Sam tried questioning.

I took in a deep breath.

"Well, we got to talking. And well we figured out that I'm…I'm the one?"

Everyone raised an eyebrow at me. "I know it sounds stupid, but I guess I have a bigger destiny than I thought. Apparently I am the peace keeper or whatever."

"Peace keeper?" Embry asked.

"Yea, a peace keeper between the vampires and the werewolves."

I thought about something…Peacekeeper. The flashes…Oh my god.

"Oh my god." I exclaimed. It all made sense.

I pushed my way through the kitchen and ran up the stairs to my bedroom.

"Bella!" Everyone yelled.

I ran into my room and thought about where I put my sketchbook.

"Come on, come on!" I yelled at myself, searching throughout my room. I checked under my bed, in the closet, and in my nightstand.

I stood in the middle of the room, trying to think of where I put it.

"Bella!" Sam said putting his hands on my shoulders.

I gasped in surprise and pushed his hands away. I could see the hurt cross his face.

"I-…Where..." I kept asking myself.

Desk. I thought.

I quickly ran to my desk and began to look for the book.

Found it!

I quickly skipped though all of the pages of the guys and everything else, till I found what I was looking for. The people from the visions.

I looked at them and tried to think of the color of their eyes. I closed my eyes and thought about what Carlisle said.

"You see, we don't drink human blood Bella. I could tell you noticed something different about me, right Bella?" he asked

I nodded.

"Well it's because we drink animal blood. We like to call ourselves vegetarians." He said proudly. "You can tell that because of our eye color. Ours are gold while the others are-…"

"Red." I finished.

I tried to remember what they were. I remember James being in the forest. All of us were in the forest. Damn it! Why didn't I draw in color!

"Red. They were red!" I exclaimed.

"Huh?" half of them exclaimed.

"What was red?" Jake and Sam asked carefully.

I took my sketchbook and ran down the stairs. I have to call Carlisle! I thought to myself. I took out the phonebook and ran to the phone.

"Damn it." I cursed not finding his name in the phonebook.

I then searched for the hospital's number to call them.

I was about to go to the phone when a hard chest stood in my way. I tried to move to the left, and then to the right, but each time that person would move with me.

I looked up to see Jake.

"Bella, what's going on?" he asked.

"Jake I need you to move." I said frantically.

"Bella, we just want to help you." Sam said carefully.

"And I'm glad you do, but I really need to make a call." I said impaciently.

"Bella." Leah started to say, but I didn't want to hear it.

"Jake move or I will make you move" I said.

"No you wouldn't Bella." Jake said.

Oh but I would.

"Sorry Jake," I said and moved him slightly out of the way.

I dialed the hospitals number and waited for someone to pick up. I looked at the guys.

Jakes face was stunned and hurt. I felt bad, but I really needed to talk to Carlisle.

Sam's face had worry written all over it, along with everyone else.

"Forks Hospital" A lady said.

"Hi, this is Bella Swan, is Dr. Cullen there?" I asked politely.

"I'm sorry dear, but his shift ended a few minutes after you left."

I swallowed and looked at everyone. This time, they looked shocked. "Do you have a number or an address where I can reach him? Its kind of an emergency." I said.

"Yes, I have an address."

After she gave me all of the information we hung up and I grabbed my stuff that was hanging up. I stuffed the sketchbook in my bag and put it over my shoulder.

"No!" Sam roared, shutting the door I was trying to open to leave.

"Sam, you need to move."

"No. Tell me what's going on Bella. I'm not letting you go to some bloodsucker's house. I can't protect you there. Please." He said, moving himself between me and the door.

"Sam." I pleaded.

"I need to go. Please don't make me use my powers." I said to him. I could see he was slowly cracking.

"They're not going to hurt me. I'm the peacekeeper remember? I'm vital to both sides." I tried to convince him, but he shook his head.

"Sam, trust me." I said finally.

He looked at me. I could tell he was trying not to give in.

"I need to go. I promise I will call…or text…or whatever! Please, I need to go." I pleaded.

I could tell Sam was about to let me go, when Jake spoke up. "No Bella."

With that said, Sam stood up tall and fierce again, not letting me go. I growled at Jake.

"Fine." I said, and then teleported to my bike.

I took out my keys and hopped on my bike. I drove away before they could stop me. I looked back to see Sam giving orders, and the guys changing into wolves. I sped up faster, and passed the border.

I sighed, thinking that this was all déjà vu, so I connected all of their minds together.

'Don't you dare cross the border. I mean it. I will be fine. I trust them, and you should trust me.' I exclaimed. 'I will call you and text you. Just don't do anything stupid guys.'

They all started to protest, and I pulled up into the Cullen's driveway.

'Sorry guys, I will see you soon. Remember what I said!' I told them in a motherly tone, and then let go of the connection.

I walked up to the Cullen's door and knocked.

The door opened, and I found myself looking at the guy who was talking to Carlisle when I left.

"Hi." I said bluntly and stuck out my hand for him to shake.

"Hello." He said not taking my hand.

I put my hand back to my side.

"I'm Bella." I said awkwardly.

"Edward." He said.

"Nice to meet you Edward. Is Dr. Cul-.. Carlisle here?" I asked stumbling on his name.

Edward looked at me. "Yes, yes he is." He stated, but still wouldn't let me come in.

"…Can I see him?" I asked bluntly.

"Oh, right. Sorry, yes. Follow me." He said, shaking himself out of a daze.

Edward opened the door wider to let me in and then shut the door behind me. He pointed his hand to walk up the stairs. Their house was amazing. It was so decorative, it was…perfect.

I walked upstairs and into their living room. The place was spacious and open. There were windows everywhere instead of walls. The floor was hardwood and shiny. There was a kitchen to the right, that looked very unused, and a piano to the right of the room. In the middle of the room, there was a couch and a TV, along with two guys sitting on the couch playing a video game. I saw a few stairs and another hallway. When I looked I saw a tree in the hallway, there was a thick branch sticking out from… somewhere.

"Hold on, I will go get him for you." He said touching my back.

"Thanks." I said watching him go through that small hallway.

The two guys looked back and smiled. They paused their games and walked up to me.

"Hey, I'm Emmett and this is Jasper" The dark haired boy said.

I looked at him and then the blond boy.

Emmett seemed strong yet nice? He was ripped with muscle yet had this vibe of being a really nice guy, kind of like a teddy bear.

The other one Jasper, I think his name was, wasn't that easy to read. He looked very cautious but friendly.

"Nice to meet you." I said holding out my hand.

The man Emmett shook my hand, it was pretty hard, hard enough to break a normal human's hand, but even when he shook it, it just healed back into place.

Emmett smiled and looked at Jasper. I noticed that Jasper didn't dare touch me.

"Bella!" I heard Carlisle say. He was walking down the small hallway towards me, with Edward behind him.

"Hi Carlisle. Sorry to interrupt you."

"It's no problem Bella. Is everything ok?" he asked concerned. He walked over closer to me and put his hands on my face. He checked my cheek bones and my throat.

"I'm fine Dr. Cullen. I just…" I said pulling away.

"I need your help." I said nervously. I looked around at his family and saw they were all staring at me.

"Umm…" I said. Carlisle looked to where I was looking and calmed me down.

"It's ok. They know. We don't keep secrets from each other." He said patting my shoulder.

I gulped. Secrets. That's what I have been doing for a while. That's what I have been doing to the people I call MY family.

Carlisle brought me to sit on the couch, and all of the guys followed. Right when I was about to tell what I discovered two women came down.

"I thought I heard someone" The kind red haired woman said.

"I'm Esme" She introduced herself.

"Hi, I'm Bella." I said shaking her hand.

"Wow, Bella, it is an honor to meet you." She said and surprisingly hugged me.

"Oh, well wow. Ha-ha. It's really nice to meet you too. So I guess you know about this peace person thing huh?"

She shook her head and smiled.

"Right, cause no secrets." I said pointedly to Carlisle and he nodded.

"And you are?" I asked the person behind Esme.

"Oh sorry dear." Esme told the girl and me.

"It's ok Esme!" The girl said cheerfully. All of these peoples voices they were so high pitched and melodic but it wasn't harsh like the pack told me.

"Hi, I'm Alice! We are going to be so close!" she said hugging me and jumping up and down. Alice was very pixie like. She had lots of energy and short spiky hair.

"Bella, but you already know that."

Alice looked at Carlisle. "She knows our powers?"

"Huh?" I said.

"Oops." She said covering her mouth.

"Nice one Alice." Some person said. I looked towards the hallway and saw a very beautiful woman. She was blond, and breathtaking.

"Hi, I'm Bella" I said shocked at her beauty.

"Rosalie." She said before walking to Emmett and sitting on his lap. She seemed different from the others. She wasn't as nice, she was actually kind of cold.

"So Bella, what brings you here?" Carlisle asked. I was just about to start again when my cell phone rang.

"Damn it." I mumbled. I looked down at the screen to see it was Sam.

I sighed and answered it.

"Hello?"

"Bella!" he said relieved.

"I'm fine Sam. I need to go. I will be home soon."

"Bella!" Someone else shouted.

I groaned. "Look guys, I'm fine ok? I need to figure some stuff out. I will fill you guys in later, I just need to…"

Suddenly images flashed through my mind. I groaned and bent down in pain. My head started to throb and I started to get dizzy.

'We told you we coming Bella. But all you did was ignore us. Tisk tisk. I would have expected better from you. Especially since you're so dedicated to your pets'. He kicked my stomach and knocked the wind out of me. He grabbed my hair and whispered in my ear. 'Oh Bella, your scent.' He told my while sticking his nose in my hair. 'I can't wait till you're mine. All mine.' He kept saying and the he threw me down on the forest floor. I quickly put my hand over my wrist trying to stop the burning pain. It was like something on my wrist was on fire. It felt as if I was being branded.

I gasped for breath and the visions cleared.

"BELLA!" I heard on the phone. My hand was still on my wrist. I didn't get a chance to look at what it was because Carlisle quickly bent down next to me with a hand on my shoulder asking me if I was ok.

I brought the phone back up to my ear. "I'm ok guys, I just got a bad…headache. Don't worry I will be home soon, I just need to talk to Dr. Cullen."

"Bella, maybe I should…"

"No, I'm fine. I will explain everything later. Right now though guys, I need to go. I will text you before I leave." I said and then hung up.

"Bella, are you ok?" Dr. Cullen asked when I stood up straight again, rubbing my wrist a little.

"Yea, yea. This is actually what I wanted to talk to you about." I said sitting on the couch.

"These past few days…weeks…or whatever, I have been having these visions, these flashbacks. And every time I see this guy, he's my enemy well, he's like me, but he is not…not…"

"He's bad. The opposite of you." Edward supplied.

"Yea, he is. Anyways," I said looking at Edward then Dr. Cullen. There was something about him, something I didn't understand. He wasn't cold like Rosalie first was, but he wasn't as nice as when I first met Emmett.

"I keep seeing him. I was there. In the forest, with James and a bunch of people…vampires." I corrected. "I drew them one day, after I had my visions about them. They didn't seem to go away; they wouldn't get out of my head. So I kept drawing, and then when I met you, Dr. Cullen, and when we talked about how you guys call yourselves vegetarian vampires I noticed that in my dreams…in my visions, they were red eyes."

As I took out my sketchbook from my bag Dr. Cullen asked me a good question.

"Do you know where in the forest this happens Bella?"

I looked up from turning the pages of my sketchbook and answered him.

"Actually no." I said frustrated

"That's ok. Can you describe it to me? Do you remember it at all?" he asked me sympathetically.

I ignored the look he gave me and tried to remember the visions.

"Well it's somewhere open. Like this big open space."

"The meadow." Edward cut in.

I looked at him curious while everyone else got it.

"It's this really wide open area. Very beautiful. Its right up by the mountains, higher than the plain old forest." He said

I nodded and finished turning the pages to the vampires. I then handed them over to the Cullen's.

"I know I didn't use color, but I remember seeing them." I told all of them as they analyzed my drawings.

"Bella, these are amazing." Dr. Cullen said passing it to the rest of his family. I blushed and ducked my head.

"Thank you."

"Look." I said taking a deep breath, "I was hoping that maybe since I'm like a peace keeper and all, that maybe you and I could explain it to my family. It doesn't have to be today or anything, it's just that I can't really explain it to them. I mean I barely know what's going on myself, and I know they are all worried…"

"I would love to Bella." Dr. Cullen cut me off.

I smiled. "Thank you."

"Can you excuse us for a minute" Edward said politely, pointing to the door. I didn't get it at first, but then it clicked. He wanted me out of the room to talk to his family.

"Oh, of course. I'm sorry." I said getting off the couch and away from them.

I walked away, taking out my phone to text Sam and the pack. I know they were probably all huddled by the phone.

I'm ok, I'm coming home soon.

I typed and then sent. I stayed there a little longer and listened to their conversation. They were talking pretty fast, but I could pick up most of it.

"You can't go there alone Carlisle" Edward said.

"Edward, I will be fine." Carlisle said calmly.

"Yea, Bella seems pretty cool." Emmett chipped in. I heard a smack on the head.

"Oww!" Emmett said.

I smiled and tried to hide my chuckle.

"Can you see what's going to happen Alice?" Rosalie asked.

"No, sorry. It must be cause of the wolves." Alice said apologetically.

"Well then I agree with Edward. If we don't know what's going to happen then you shouldn't go. Or at least you shouldn't go alone. I mean for all we know, it could be a trap." Rosalie pointed out.

I sighed. This was not going well.

So I walked away from the corner of the room to where I was beckoned to.

"It's not a trap. And I'm going to talk to the pack about you all coming over." I stated. I felt a little bit of hurt wash through me.

They all looked at me stunned.

"I could hear you. I'm not normal remember?" I pointed out.

I could see Edward look a little embarrassed and ashamed. I also noticed Jasper looking at me with a sympathetic face. I forgot he could read emotions.

"It's fine Edward. I understand where you are coming from. As for Jasper, stop that." I laughed a little, and he laughed along with me.

The rest of them looked up between us, trying to interpret our inside joke.

"And how are you going to do that?" Rosalie asked snobby.

"I'm going to ask Sam." I said a little more forceful than usual.

"Oh, and their just going to listen?" she said with the same tone and an eye roll.

"I don't know. But I'm hoping he will hear me out, considering he is the leader of the pack and my boyfriend." I said getting angry. I felt Jasper send me calming waves but I reflected them with my shield.

I heard him suck in a deep breath and quickly turned my head.

"Oopps, I'm sorry Japer." I said walking over to him.

He put up a hand. "It's fine."

Everyone looked between us. "I accidentally pushed his calming waves a little to hard." I blushed.

"Its ok Bella, I'm fine. But how did you do that?" he asked very curious.

"Well I-…" I started to explain but then my phone rang with a text. I opened it up to find it was Embry telling me to come home.

Bella, we need you to come home now! Caitlyn….

I didn't even finish reading it before I told the Cullen's I had to leave.

"I'm so sorry, but I have to go. Something happened." I said rushing to gather my things.

I grabbed my bag and took my sketchbook that Edward gave back to me. I nodded to him as a thanks and quickly gave them all hugs.

"Thank you." I said and then stepped away. I was about to teleport when Emmett spoke up.

"Uh Bella? How are you going to get there? Did you want one of us to super speed you over…but I mean, well to the border…"

"Oh no, thanks." I said smiling at their confusion.

"I'm just going to go the way I came."

"Huh? But…"

"Just watch." I stated. "Oh and by the way. Thank you for having me over, and sorry if I was interrupting."

"No you weren't at all Bella. You are always welcome." Carlisle said with honesty. I smiled at him and blushed a little. I could hear the chuckles go around the room.

"You have an extraordinary home Mrs. Cullen. It's just amazing." I said to her.

"Esme dear. Please call me Esme. And thank you so much Bella." She smiled at me. I felt as if she was more of a motherly figure than my own mother.

"Right. Esme. Well I need to go. Thanks again." I said waving and then teleported to the front porch. I quickly walked through the door.

"What Happened?" I asked looking around.

Everyone was in the family room. Embry was kneeling down beside the couch talking to someone, but I didn't really pay much attention to as of whom it was.

Sam quickly walked over to me, along with Jake. The rest of the pack just looked at me with sad eyes, almost as if they didn't know what to do.

"Bells." Jake said putting a hand on my upper arm.

I looked from Sam to Jake and read both of their expressions. They were full of sadness and pity. Like they just killed my favorite stuffed animal.

I jerked my arm away from his hand. "What happened?" I said almost desperate. I suddenly felt a flash of anger for feeling so helpless. but it faded away as I scanned the living room and found the back of a familiar girls head I knew, sitting on the couch.

"Caitlyn?" I asked almost whispering her name. She turned around towards me with tears in her eyes and some rolling down her cheeks.

"Wh-what? But I thought…?" I said whispering to myself.

"Did you get my text message?" Embry said trying to pull himself together. His voice was quivering and he looked so helpless too.

"All I read was I needed to come home cause of Catie." I said looking at everyone for some type of clue to what was going on.

"Bella." Sam tried. He walked towards me slowly and carefully. He turned me around to face him and put a hand on my cheek. As much as I loved it there I pushed it away and took a step back from him.

"Will someone just tell me what the fuck is going on?!" I asked getting aggravated and fairly panicked.

"It's Nate." Catie whispered quietly.

I snapped my head around to her, and swallowed the clump in my throat. My heart started to race and my fists started to get sweaty. My mind was going a mile a second. I couldn't help but to think the worst.

"What do you mean?" my tone shaking with fear.

"He-….he got hurt really bad Bellsey." She said with tears falling like a waterfall down her cheeks.

I swallowed hard. My eyes couldn't move off of Caitlyn. There was a dead silence that no one dared to break. My mind whirled over all of the possibilities that could have happened to him; of what could have happened.

"Who's Nate?" Jake asked breaking the silence.

Caitlyn and I looked at each other. Her eyes were all red and puffy with tears brimming her eyes, ready to fall any second.

The thought of him made me sick. I wanted to rush to the bathroom and throw up. I wanted to run outside and take a deep breath, but my legs wouldn't move and the watery tears started to cloud my vision.

"He's….he's…" I started but couldn't find words to explain anything. My heart started to ache. It was like my chest was caving in itself and it was suffocating me.
