Jasper's Point of View
It was time to tell Bella that danger was coming, again. I'd kept the truth from her for far too long. I should have told her immediately. We were relaxing in the library, Bella's favorite place in the house. She loved all the books.
"Bella, I should have told you sooner. Peter says danger is coming but we don't know who or when."
"OK, is there anything you know for sure?"
"That danger will come. We have to be on our guard."
"Alright."
She took that better than I anticipated. I guess we were ready for pretty much anything. Bella was trained to the best of my ability, just as Peter and Charlotte were. Her training even surpassed Char.
I told her, as I should have. What did I do now?
Bella's point of view
Jasper seemed like he thought I was under reacting What was there to react to? Danger was coming. We didn't know who or what or when. There was nothing to be done.
I settled into an armchair with my book. All of our enemies were gone. Dead. Never coming back. Who could this latest danger be? I went back to the book. Harry potter was saving Jenny from "He who must not be named."
I was surprised I never read these books when they came out. They were fantastic and truly magical. They were some of the books Jasper had gotten multiples of for me to read in case my strength couldn't handle turning the pages.
Although I had no problems with the pages I was grateful that he thought of every aspect of my change and tried to anticipate what I might need to be happy. I was sure if I couldn't have handled it at all he would have read to me the magical lands and worlds that my books transport me to.
He preferred history and philosophy. I preferred magical lands where lovers found one another or books where the main character found themselves. Perhaps I would read his history and philosophy books too sometime just so we could discuss them.
Emmett's Point of View
I was losing the battle of killing zombies with Peter. My poor character would die again soon and I'd have to start all over. I wasn't likely to win but I couldn't give up. I was almost dead when I heard a car on the drive.
"There's a car coming," I shouted.
By the time I stood up the others were making their way out the front door to greet whoever disturbed our peace today. There were no packages being delivered so it couldn't be a delivery truck. Was this the danger Peter warned us of?
The car slowly made it's way up the drive but we could all see who was behind the wheel. It was Edward. What did he want? Couldn't he figure out for himself that he wasn't welcome here? How did he find us anyway?
When he opened the car door it was to two lines of fighters. He'd better watch himself if he ever intended to make it back home to his Father figure.
"It's been a while."
"How did you find us?" Jasper asked.
"Alice. She visited Carlisle with her new mate Oliver."
"You aren't welcome here," Peter said. "Now get back in your car and drive back home to your Daddy."
"I just came to see some of my family. Bella, immortality suits you,"
Jasper's Point of View
I would have warned her if I could. I would have even stopped her. I could feel the lust pouring off Edward but he was trying to get a rise out of her. Her shield snapped around him and he was lifted off of the ground.
"You have no right to even speak to me," Bella said, with rage radiating from her, "You left me to die in Volterra. Carlisle even visited you but no one came to save me but Jasper."
I could see Edward distorting as her shield crushed him.
"You have no right to speak to anyone here. It was your fuckup that caused them to lose their family, lose their home, lose everything. You and Carlisle are to blame for everything, now get in your car and get the hell out of here. If I see you again I will kill you."
Edward was dropped from about twenty feet in the air and hit the ground hard. "It wasn't my fault," he said.
"Go," Was all Bella said to him.
He limped back into the car and it slowly turned around, driving out of sight.
"Why didn't you just crush him?" Emmett asked.
"Don't think I wasn't tempted." Bella sighed.
"I don't think you should have shown him your shield, Bella," Jasper said calmly.
"I didn't even think about it I was so angry," Bella replied.
The emotions around me were a mix of anger and frustration. Most of the frustration coming from Bella.
"Start running the perimeter again," I said
"Do you really think he could do any harm? Rose asked hesitantly.
"I'd rather not risk it."
"Rose and I will go first." Emmett offered.
"Run quickly."
My instincts told me that we hadn't seen the last of the Cullens. If Edward invited friends to visit I wanted to know ahead of time.
"If you aren't running the perimeter, Go feed. I want everyone home in twenty-four hours ready for anything."
At this, I grabbed Bella's hand and we ran off into the forest. We would have one good hunt before whatever trouble Edward was causing manifested it's self.
As we lay twined together basking in the moon's glow and watching the stars that night Bella asked, "What trouble can Edward really cause?"
"I don't know my Love but whatever it is I want to be ready for it."
