Hi Everyone! I know it's been an extremely long time since my last update, almost ten months! I just finished writing my YA Fantasy novel, and will soon be out on submission.

I hope you enjoy the latest addition, and like always all characters below to Stephanie Meyer.

JPOV

"Alice, what is it?"

Alice stood in a catatonic daze. I didn't need to read minds to know that she had locked onto Bella. Edward growled and then vanished.

Jacob howled and chased after him, with his two pack friends beside him.

"Alice!"

Alice blinked. "She's in trouble."

I didn't have a chance to ask what was happening. Alice grabbed my hand and we started racing through the trees.

Alice and Edward were both here which made things extremely complicated. I vowed to never kiss Bella again, and in a matter of days I had broken that promise. Did Alice know? She couldn't have. Otherwise Edward would have killed me on the spot, or at least tried. There was no more denying the passion between me and Bella. Carlisle said vampires mate for life, but in my case that wasn't true. Don't get me wrong I would die for Alice; she has been with me for decades. Maybe this thing with Bella was just a crush, something new and exciting that would diminish as quickly as it started.

Alice stopped. We had caught up to the rest of the group. The wolves seemed on edge, and Edward was panicking. I scaled up the tree where Edward was. "What's going on?"

Edward pointed to a compound that was less then ½ a mile away. With my keen vision I could see the place was heavily guarded.

"What's the problem? They're humans."

Edward shook his head. "Look again." He pointed to dogs that paced back and forth around the fences. The dogs were larger then normal. Upon closer inspection I noticed that they weren't dogs, but wolves.

Edward jumped down, and I followed.

Jacob phased back into a human.

"Can you put some clothes on you mongrel?" Alice covered her eyes.

Jacob grabbed a small pack that was tied to his leg, and slipped into a pair of shirts. "Will someone tell me why we're here?"

"I saw Bella. She was scared and decided to head back. I was able to follow her, but then she disappeared. Something happened to her. "

"How do you know that?" Jacob asked.

"Werewolves block my visions. I think she may be inside the compound."

Everyone turned to stare at the large cement structure. There was only six of us, not enough for a fight. I had the most experience when it came to fighting, and this was one battle that we could not win.

Jacob growled next to me, and I suddenly had a plan.

"We can't go in there. They'll smell us as soon as we are close enough. You three may be able to sneak in and find her."

Edward and Alice nodded their heads in agreement.

I waited for Jacob's reply, but none came. He phased back into a wolf, and the three mutts ran off.

"I guess that was a yes." I sighed and looked at Edward who quickly turned his head.

"Edward."

"I have nothing to say to you Jasper."

I walked towards him, and he crossed his arms. "Let me explain."

"Explain? You want to explain to me how you betrayed me, your own brother. Or how you made out with your girlfriend's best friend."

"Don't Edward." Alice rushed to Edward's side.

"I'm sorry Alice, but it's the truth. He's not my brother anymore. Once we find Bella. I never want to see you again."

"Edward…"Alice held her hand to her chest. "You don't mean that."

Edward put a hand on Alice's shoulder. "I do. I can't forgive him." Edward vanished into the woods, leaving me and Alice alone.

I wanted to say how sorry I was, but the words wouldn't come out. My hand reached for Alice. She shook her head, and then disappeared.

There was nothing left for me to do or say. I climbed up the nearest tree and watched the compound. Hoping to see Bella soon.

BPOV

I could hear voices, but they were muffled.

"The serum should work."

"We need results now."

"I don't suggest testing it on our last subject."

"There's no more time!"

"Very well. Stand back and strength the harness."

My eyelids refused to open, and there was a dull ache in my head. A needle penetrated my skin (which I thought was impossible) and a burning sensation followed. The scream that erupted from my mouth was ear shattering, and then I passed out.

An alluring scent woke me up.

"Here, drink this."

A petite blonde with doey brown eyes stood in front of me. She held a large bag of red liquid. I reached to grab it and noticed that my arms were in restraints.

"You won't be able to break free from those bonds. Drink this. You'll feel better."

She twisted the top off of the tube and raised it to my lips. The minute the liquid touched my dry throat I felt a hundred times better. The ache was gone, but I still felt extremely weak.

"Where I am?"

The girl threw the bag into a nearby bin. "You're at a research facility."

"What kind of research?"

I could tell she wanted to tell me but was hesitant.

"What's your name?" she asked.

"Bella."

"Hi Bella. My name's Sandy."

She was trying to be polite, but I didn't need hospitality. I needed answers. Every single one of my ligaments felt drained. I was a newborn. An extremely strong vampire, but yet I couldn't even lift the bars that were around my body.

The room I was in was filled with medical supplies, strange machines, and x-rays all over. They had me tied down to a hospital bed. The restraints were made out of a strange metal and I noticed that they had tiny points on them that were dripping with some type of dark liquid.

Sandy was at one of the tables writing something down in a yellow folder. Her white lab coat was a bit oversized, and her brown glasses constantly fell down the bridge of her nose. She looked young, maybe early twenties if best.

"Why am I here?"

Sandy put down the folder. "I can't answer that."

"Please, let me go. I just want to go home."

"Unfortunately, I can't do that. You are much too dangerous to be let loose."

My resolve faded. I was dangerous. Maybe this was retribution for what I did to that family.

A group of three male doctors walked into the room. Sandy bolted upright.

"Hello Doctor Gill, Doctor Lambert, Doctor Ellis."

All three replied hello back and made their way towards me. The man with the bushy beard stared down at me rubbing his head.

"Well, we should move onto the next phase."

The other two were looking at charts and readings.

The doctor with the black wavy hair and killer smile looked at his chart then back at me. "Hello Bella. How are you feeling?"

"Like hell."

He smiled. "I'm Doctor Lambert. Do you feel and numbness?"

A part of me wanted to rip his head off, but I was so weak. "No."

He scribbled onto the chart and nodded his head. "Very good."

The doctor with the beard pricked my arm with a needle and injected a brown substance into me. "What are you doing!"

The doctor grinned. "We are making you into a god."

The comment took me off guard.

"Pay no attention to Doctor Gill. He tends to be a bit overdramatic. What we are doing is making a perfect species."

A chill ran through my spine. "Are you experimenting on me?"

The doctor who had been silent scoffed. "Nonsense! This is critical research. If we can combine the lunar blood with the vampire blood, and make a creature that has all the powers of both. There would be no more wars between the two, and no more killing of the innocents. One perfect creature. A being that could shapeshift, have the strength and senses being comprehension, and have no thirst!"

Everything the doctor had said up until those last two words meant nothing to me. No thirst. Is it possible? Could they take it away? If that was true I would never have to worry about killing a human again.

"I'll help."

All three doctors looked at me with perplexed expressions.

"I don't want to hurt anyone ever again. I will cooperate with anything you need."

Doctor Lambert smiled. "Very well. Then let's begin."

Hope you enjoyed the latest installment of DA. Like always review, review!
