Today was the day we were going to lay to rest the bodies of the pack. Bella, Emily and Sue had been running and going trying to get enough caskets ready for the burials. The reception was being held at Emily's house and Bella and her were there now trying to finish the last of the cooking before the funeral.
Billy stayed most of his time on the portch looking out into the huge field in front of the house. Jasper seemed to think that he is going into shock. I stayed here with Billy. I wanted to lend him as much comfort as i could. The white wolf who had shown up a few nights ago with Bella, hardly ever left his side. Paul, well he has been gone since yesturday. Bella said to let him go. He would be back in time to bury his brothers.
My phone rang in my pocket. Seeing that it was Jasper, letting us know that the funeral was ready to start whenever they were ready.
"Billy..." I slowly walked up to him and sat on the swing beside his chair. "Its time. Come on." I told him softly.
Billy looked up at me with the slightest flicker of emotion in his eyes, then it was gone, and he nodded.
Wheeling him down to the truck, Bella, Emily and Sue pulled up in the drive way just as i was putting billy in the truck.
"Is... Is it time?" Emily asked with a quiver of her lip. Im not an empath, but I didnt need to be to know that all of these people were heart broken and scared. I nodded my head to them and Emily nodded back. She took a deep breath and put the truck in drive.
"we will see you there." She said, holding her head up high and driving the truck out onto the main road.
The ceremony went by with lots of tears. Each of the family member's took turns throwing a handfull of dirt onto the caskets. After they were buried, Jasper and I started to walk back to the truck, it was starting to rain. We wanted to give then some privacy.
Paul came running up to the grave sights in his wolf form. He looked burly and raging. Whimpers left his lips as he stopped infron of the head stones. Then something amazing started to take place. Paul and the White wolf began to prance up and down the rows of paul's fallen brethoren. They pawed and growled at each one, bowing slightly to each of them. Then they met in the middle. Both facing the other, as they lifted one giant paw off the ground and howled in unison. The howl sounded broken and hurt, then it tapered down. A look between the two wolves was shared, and i could tell that it spoke alot of words. In that moment, Jasper and I had come to an understanding about one thing. The cullens, the ones who we are sure are behind this... They would all die. Slow. painfully... for every tear shed this day, for every drop of blood shed that day. They would all pay.

After the funeral, we all went back to Emily's house. I had piled up two huge plates full of food and carried it out to Tiny and Paul... who for some reason refused to phase back to his human form.
we all endured through the pats to the shoulders, and he Sorry for your loss's that everyone kept saying to us. We plastered a small smile of strength on our face so we could get through the reception with happy memories instead of bad ones.
We were all we had left. All of our family was gone, and we had only each other.
Later that night, After the crowd had left and the house was clean, Emily and Sue sat down with me and we talked. Emily wanted to become a vampire like me. She wanted to kill the enemy with her bare hands. Sue was supportive of her idea. I on the other hand refused to allow that.
"Emily, You dont want to be like me. You will live forever without sam. I know how hard that is. Atleast you have a chance to see him again. I wont see jake for a very long time. Trust me. This is not the life i wanted... The life i would have chosen.
The tears leaked from her eyes as i watched her nod her head in understanding, then a determined glint made its way to her eye.
"I understand and respect that... but Bella, They killed my husband. I refuse to sit idle and do nothing. Just sit and wait for them to take you or Billy, or sue... No! I want this Bella... Please... Please change me..." I looked into her eyes. She was right. And I knew it. But would i be right if I was to take her up on her request? Would i be ruining her life? Would she hate me in the long run? I couldnt make up my mind about what was right or wrong at the moment.
"Sue, please. you have to make her understand..." I started. But Sue cut me off with her hand.
"No Bella, look. If you dont want to do it, then so be it, but i agree with her. and honestly, I want the same thing. I want to help you all kill them. I refuse to sit and let them get away with tearing my son and daughter apart, and tormenting us. I think we all have lost enough... Its about time we take some shit from them." Shit... not what i was hoping for.
"Excuse me..." Emily's voice was monatone, and she walked off into the house. Turning to sue i looked at her sympatheticaly.
"Sue, you will both regret the decision. I..." The smell of heavy blood made its way to my nose and i felt my eyes begin to go black. Sucking in a quick and labored breath, I looked frantically to sue.
"Bella... Whats the matter." I shook my head and bolted from the portch into the house. "Call Victoria and Jasper!" I yelled.
I followed the sound of a feint heart beat to the bathroom and saw Emily in the tub, fully clothed. Her arms had been sliced open from wrist to the crease of her elbow. Both of them.
"Oh My Gosh! Emily!" I jumped into the dark red water. I was no longer worried about the bloodlust that had taken hold of me at first. No. I was scared for Emily.
"WAKE UP!" I grabbed a towel from the wrack and wrapped her arms.
"SUE!" By now i was crying hysterically as i kept one ear on her heart beat that was rapidly growing weaker.
"You have to change her!" Jasper yelled through the phone when sue came barging in.
"No! I cant do that to her! Call 911!" I held her up dragging her body from the tub and onto the floor to pump my hand to her chest. Her pulse got slightly stronger, beating almost in sync with my hands on her chest.
"Bell! They wont make it in time!" Sue screamed to me in a pleading tone. She cradled Emily's head to her chest and I stopped my ministrations.
"Ok..." I nodded slightly. Im so sorry Emily. With a sob, I bent down and Bit her on her neck on each side, then once right over her heart, which was now beating erratically.
Emily let out a blood curdling scream, and Sue jumped in surprise. She looked down at Emily, then me.
"She's... She's burning. Its going to last 3 days. We need to get her someplace comfortable and in some dry clothes."
Emily screamed day and night. on the last day, she began to get louder. I knew why. This was the worst of it. Sue looked to me and nodded to her.
"You have to get out of here. If she wakes up and you are here, she might attack you. Your human. She wont understand or know you right off the back. please... for your safety.
"Ok, Please tell me when she is ok to be around." I nodded slightly.
I sat and waited for Emily to wake up. Her heart began to pick up speed and i knew she was almost there. Jasper and Victoria were on their way. They had experience with newborns, and I didnt.
Right when they walked into the house, Emily's heart stuttered, then stopped all together. We all waited in a pregnant pause for the first round of the fight... Emily lay completly still as if she had actually died when her heart stopped beating.
we all waited for another 5 mins before i started to get worried.
"Jasper, she is not waking up... Did i do something wrong?" I pleaded with him. I watched his brow furrow, then he smiled slowly.
"No Bella. She is asleep... The burning took alot of her Energy and she is resting. Looks like your humanity gift reached her to."
I breathed a sigh of relief and pulled the covers up on her more securly, turned out the lights and left the room.
"Have yall heard from Paul and Tiny? They have been gone since it happened." asked.
"Paul and Tiny stayed behind at the house. Neither one of them are happy at what Emily did to get her way. They didnt want any part of it." Victoria explained. I Knew exactly what they meant. I was gonna lay into Emily the moment I knew she was awake and ok. The shit she pulled could have gotten her killed... two different ways that night.
Later that night, Emily finally started stirring. We all gathered around her bed, waiting for her to fully wake. Emily slowly opened her eyes. Blinking she looked over at me. A confused look was on her face as she took in Victoria and Jasper. Her eyes settled back on my angry one's and she shrunk sheepishly.
"How could you do this?!" I yelled. She shrugged her shoulder softly while playing with the frayed ends of the blanket. I growled deep.
"You better have a damn good explanation other then a fucking shrug of your shoulders!" I was raging mad. Her eye looked up at mine, smeared with bloody tears.
"Im sorry! I just wanted to help! These vampires destroyed everything! They runined all of our lives, not just your's Bella! And what was I supposed to do! Sit and wait while they try to pick us off one at a time until there is noone left! No! I want to fight! I want to help!" She yelled, jumping from the bed and wiping her eyes angrily.
"I honestly... Didnt plan to be changed... I wanted it.. and I knew it was a possiblility... But I just wanted to either help fight, or die to be with Sam... I... I..." Her lip began to tremble as more tears flooded her eyes and she cried her agony. Victoria took her into her arms and held her tight. I had a hand covering my mouth to keep the heart filled cry of hurt from escaping my lips.
Slowly I walked over to her and pulled her into my arms. How could I have yelled at her like that. I knew better then anyone what it was like to want to be helpful. I had wanted it when James was after me... But noone listened to me.
"Emily... Im so sorry." I said as we cried together..." She pulled away from me and wiped mine and her eyes.
"Im sorry I did that to you Bella... But I need to be helpful. The entire pack is gone except Paul, and now that new white wolf... but its not enough to protect the tribe lands." She pointed out and I knew she was right. We needed strength in numbers. Smiling at her, I nodded my head. There was no going back anyways.
"Come on... Lets go hunt." I took her hand in mine and nodded toward Jasper and Victoria... And we were off.
Emily threw her head back and laughed, the wind whipping through her hair as her feet hit the cold ground beneath her.
"Why the hell didnt you tell me this was so Exilerating!" She said laughing again as a limb pulled and snapped in her hair.
"Because... You never asked." I said lauging and running faster. "This is the best part. Get some speed behind you and jump!" I told her as we both raced side by side to the edge of the river... then we flew across the water.
"Wow!" Emily took in her surroundings and then took off running again the moment her feet touched the earth again.
We came to a stop and I pulled her closer to me.
"Alright... close your eyes and open your scences. Listen and smell." I watched as every sound had her head turning in all different directions.
"Ok, now smell..." She took a big wiff of air and her lips pulled back over her teeth. "Find what smells the best to you... then go for the kill." Just like that, she was off in the direction I smelled bear. I took off in the direction for Mountain lion, not to far from her and sank my teeth in my prey before it even had time to notice my presence.
I was finishing my third animal when she came running back up to me, covered in blood from head to toe and clothes ripped and shredded almost completly off her body.
"Wow... This is... great. The pack always made the cold ones out to be dangerous and horrible... but they have so many talents and perks." She smiled to me, then it faltered... and blood tears began to streak down her face behind her faltering smile.
"Emily..." She raised her hand to stop me, shaking her head.
"No... Ill be ok. Im just missing Sam... Thats all." She said wiping the tears from her cheeks.
I took her hand and we ran to a small stream in the woods to clean up.
"Emily, Some of us are dangerous... and bad. Like the cullens. I was blind sided by them... I thought they were good... but I was wrong. very wrong." I said looking into her eyes. "If were going to get through this, we need to let them go... Sam and the pack... and jacob..." I sobbed slightly while saying his name. "We need to concentrate on what needs to be done. We have forever to grieve." I whispered to her, and she nodded.
"We should get back..." I pulled her to her feet and took in her shredded clothing. "Stand up." I grabbed the bottom of her shirt and wripped it right up the middle. taking the shredded ends and tying them to cover her lady bits. not much coverage but atleast her woman stuff was covered.
"Ready?" She said grabbing my hand again. I smiled at her and nodded. Now, She was fed... Its time to bring in Sue. If she could handle her... she would be able to be around other humans.
We made it back to the house at record time. Standing on the portch was paul and Tiny.
"What the hell Emily!" He began to yell at her. I stepped in front of him and stopped him in his tracks.
"Thats enough paul. She has had enough of being yelled at... now all we can do is help her through this. We need this to be over with." I said and waited for him to nod that he understood.
The next few weeks were spent trying to figure out the cullens. So far, they were ahead of us. All we could do was hope to survive. They hadnt tried to move against us since the fire. we have had someone at the house with Billy and sue just in case they decided to come back for round 2.
I spent most of my time either taking my place on watch over, or at the creek with Tiny sitting beside me. He was a great comfort. I couldnt explain why, but he was.
After two weeks of no sign of them, Jasper finally came running from the woods hollering for all hands to the ready, we had trouble on the way.
"Bella, You tiny take the right side, Paul, you me will take the left. As far as I could smell, there is only Alice and Edward." He said, and we grouped up and took off, leaving no stone unturned. We left Victoria and Emily at the house to guard Billy and Sue.
About a mile into the run, Tiny and I started to catch the scents of the two vampires, but the scent shifted and they began to head away from us. No the hell they dont! Tiny and me powered through the woods and came right on the tale of the little pixie bitch herself.
"Fuck!" She yelled trying to push herself to go faster but seeing she was getting nowhere, she turned and lunged at me. We fell in a crash of fury. Both of us scrambling and fighting for the upper hand. I pulled her hair back hard and heard the sound of metal tearing, then before I knew it, she had wripped my whole damn arm off. with a cry of pain, I snatched her up with my good arm and slammed her into a nearby tree where Tiny took her from there. Fusing my arm back on hurt like a bitch, and I was panting from the loss of venom.
"Ok Bitch! No more. Im gonna rip you to pieces and burn you from the inside out if you down start talking right the fuck now! Why are you after me!" I yelled into her face. She smirked evily at me and I rose my eyebrow at her.
"Like im gonna tell you. Your just as nieve as ever..." A defening sound of torture echoed off the trees and her eyes grew wide. well as long as their torturing...
I ripped her arm from the elbow off and slapped her in the face with it.
"Why are you after me?" I asked again, swinging the arm like a bat, Tiny still holding her by the neck making it easy to tear her head off if he needs to.
"Fuck you!" She ground out through her pain. Wrong answer. I ripped her right foot off at the ankle.
"Why are you after me?!" I said a little more deadly. another cry of anguish washed reached our ears and she began to look around frantically.
"Noone is coming Alice. Now... Why are you after me." I asked, pulling hard on her felt foot for emphasis.
"I... I cant! They will kill me!" She said. I rolled my eyes and jerked the left foot off. With her scream ricocheting through the air.
"Ill Kill you if you dont." I said darkly.
"you... you are gifted with humanity." She said.
"And what about it. last I heard I choose who I want to give it to." I said darkly. She nodded, but then smirked.
"But if you chose, then anyone with a vile of your venom will be able to use the gift. and there are ways of making you cooperate." She smirked again. I had had enough of her.
Just then, She reached up and pulled harshly at tiny's neck, granting her release, and slinging him across the clearing. He landed with a thud and I saw red.
"Fucking Bitch!" Before I even knew what I had done she was pulled apart and strewn through the clearing. I took in my surroundings. Tiny lay a few feet from me, breathing shallow.
"Oh no!" I ran up to him and picked him up. his whimper making me be extra careful. Something about this wolf... I couldnt place it, but I knew I didnt want him to die.
Another sound of anguish echoed off the tree's as I ran through them. I finally made it back to the house, but Tiny was beginning to glow. I sat him down on a bed.
"Bella!" I heard my name from the woods and looked toward victoria and Emily.
"Take care of him!" I yelled and rushed back into the forest. I found Paul fighting to the death with Emmett and Jasper had rose pinned to a tree securely.
"Help him!" He yelled and I sprang into action, ripping Emmett off of Paul and away from us. I landed softly in front of Emmett and my eyes met his... Gold?... Ones?
"Emmett? Your still an animal drinker?" I asked shocked that he had not changed like Edward and Alice had
"Emmett... please lets talk... you once saw me at a sister... maybe you still could..." I asked softly. A flicker of emotion lit in his eyes, then they went hard again and he came at me.
"Emmett stop!" I yelled but he didnt, I swung my leg out and knocked him on his ass, tearing both his legs off for safe keeping. Once Jasper had done the same to Rose, we sat them side by side and stared at them.
"What the hell is going on?" I asked jasper and he shook his head. He had no idea...
"You will pay... you will pay Isabella whitlock for killing our family." Emmett said... My eyes widend... They had been pretty much vampire brain washed.
