Alright, thus far the reviews I've gotten are more interested in Rosalie's phone call, haha, and I am too! So here it is, along with another Emmett POV (cuz, admit it, he's just so hilarious!) and another event having to do with the 'plan'…I'll go ahead and apologize ahead of time for the confusion it's going to cause, but it will all make sense in the end, I promise. Thank you so much for the reviews, they keep me going :) so enough of my ranting, here's the next chapter, read, review, and enjoy!

I do not own any of Stephanie Meyer's work (obviously), solely the plot and some new characters in this story.

***********************Jacob*******************************

"H—hello?" I spoke awkwardly into the receiver. Maybe, just maybe, it wasn't Rosalie…maybe Alice couldn't find her phone and took Rosalie's instead…? But the stony voice that responded threw that thought out the window…great…

"Jacob," answered Barbie in a hushed voice, somehow managing to express her loathing for me regardless—wait did she just call me by my name?— "It's Rosalie."

Well duh? I wanted to say to her, but—

"Don't talk, just listen," she ordered, "Edward doesn't think we should contact you yet, and Alice is a bit busy to try convincing him otherwise, but I thought you deserved to know what exactly is going on."

WHAT? Of all people—or vampires—Barbie was the one sneaking away to clue me in?...I would've expected Bella to do something like this, or anyone else in the Cullen household, but BARBIE?

"Uh…Ok?" I said stupidly. I was still too stunned to manage anything else.

"Don't worry, Edward can't hear me right now, he and Bella went to inform the rest of your pack of the situation," she comforted—did I just say comforted?—"though he's going to be quite angry with me afterwards…"

Ok, Rosalie was going to risk being chewed out by the scary daddy vampire just because 'I deserved to know what was going on?'…this was just getting too weird…

"Alice's vision had to do with some kind of plan. So far there's been no mention of the Volturri, however, Jane and Alec are involved—"

"Wait up, aren't those the brother and sister that were in the guard? Isn't that proof enough that the Volturri's behind it?" I interrupted. She made an exasperated noise.

"What did I say about talking?" she hissed—ok, so maybe she was still an ice queen—"Some of us thought the same thing, but there's not enough evidence to prove it and a head on attack would give the Volturri reason to implicate us all."

"Oh, so then what's this plan?"

"Will you let me finish?" another hiss. "The basic idea is to use Nessie's imprint, which would be you, as some kind of bait. I don't know how exactly it would go, but if their plan works then Nessie would have killed someone to save you—"

"Kill what exactly? Another precious vampire?" I interrupted, getting angry. That was why they'd sent me away? I was a werewolf for crying out loud! I could kill one measly vampire in seconds!

"Shut up you stupid mutt?" she yelled at me. I heard silence from the other end…crap, I pissed her off and they heard her…then her voice came back onto the line. "There's more. Alice heard something about a new vampire, her name is Jeanine. According to what she's heard so far, Jeanine has some kind of shield power, and we believe that's what's kept us unaware of this plan for so long. Either way we have yet to know exactly how it works."

"Yeah, so?" I asked. Seriously, what did that have to do with me tearing a vampire apart? I could always call my pack if I needed help—

"Jacob Black if you interrupt me one more time I will hang up this phone right now," she growled.

"Ok, ok, sorry." I said hurriedly. I could tell it was taking all of her control to keep from going off on me.

"Think about it," she continued, "If you can't call your pack for help, for whatever reason, and you're fighting a losing battle with Nessie around, what would she do?"

Fighting a losing battle….no help available… Nessie close by…It dawned on me then. Nessie may not love me the way I loved her, but she still loved me…and if it were me in her shoes…

"She'd jump into the fight," I finished quietly.

"Exactly, thus implicating her," Rosalie answered, muttering to the side—though I heard anyway—'so he does have a brain.'

"But," I spoke again, "what does that mean then? That I have to stay away...forever?" I heard my own voice crack on that last word, and though a small part of me thought 'great now she's going to have that on me too' the bigger part in me was only thinking of how long forever really was.

"Don't be so dramatic," Rosalie said, her temper somewhat quelled—probably from my misery—"it's what's best for Nessie, and you know it. Besides, with you temporarily gone, they might have to come at us from another angle. Alice is monitoring what she can, so for now we just wait."

Just wait…until when? I just had to sit here and do nothing while some evil vampires planned on how best to incriminate my Nessie?

I was about to retort angrily when Barbie continued. "I understand that this is very difficult for you, Jacob, and trust me, Nessie is also taking it very hard, but—"

"Nessie knows?" I asked, my face paling.

She hesitated. "Yes, she wasn't supposed to find out this soon, but she woke up from a nightmare or something like that and—oh nevermind, the point is she knows, and she is absolutely miserable without you. Yes, I can't believe it myself, but she misses you direly."

I slumped onto a rock wall behind me. "So," I began again, "let me get this straight. Some evil vamps are out to incriminate Nessie, which would be a means of getting to all of you I'm thinking, and they plan on using me to get to her, and so by sending me away we've somewhat stalled them, so now we're just counting on Alice's sight for some kind of hint on what to do next? Oh yeah, and there's also another evil gifted vampire involved that could be my ultimate crippling?"

"Yes, something like that." Rosalie sighed.

I remained silent on the other end, more worried about Nessie then anything else… "So," I said finally, "why are you telling me all this? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate it, especially coming from you, but…you hate me!"

She laughed coolly on the other end. "Oh, don't you worry, dog, I still loathe you will all that I am, but the main reason no one has contacted you yet is because of Nessie. If she so much as suspects where you might be, she'd be after you in a second. At least that's what Edward says, but I don't think that's true, she's a big girl and brilliant beyond her years. I called you for two reasons, both having to do with her. One, to fill you in, Nessie wouldn't want you completely clueless, and two, to let Nessie know you were safe and sound."

"So, they weren't even going to fill me in?" I asked.

"Oh they were, they just wanted to get some more information before calling you. But I figure, what's the point? Might as well just call him now, right?" she said, I could almost picture her arrogant shrug at ignoring someone else's orders. Edward really was going to chew her head off when he found out she'd called me…"Alice will probably call you sometime soon. When she does I think you'll be able to speak with Nessie, if Edward and Jasper see it befitting."

"Oh, I see," I said uncomfortably, "well, uh, I guess thanks then, Barb—I mean, Rosalie."

She snorted. "Don't get all nicey-nice with me. I did this mainly for Nessie, the poor girl is lost without you, though I can't understand why. Still though, I hate you just as much, don't worry."

Without thinking, I smiled. "Yeah, I hate you too." I could almost see her smile too before I heard a 'click' and she hung up.

*****************************Emmett*******************************

Walking into our room I was surprised to see Rose sitting in a corner on the floor on the phone speaking in a hushed voice. I gaped at her, and still she didn't notice my presence…whoa, something's not right here…Rosalie NEVER sits on the floor!

"—oh nevermind, the point is she knows, and she is absolutely miserable without you. Yes, I can't believe it myself, but she misses you direly."

Double whoa! Edward was going to kill her for calling Jacob! I snuck closer to her, all the while listening intently to the conversation.

"So,why are you telling me all this? Don't get me wrong, I appreciate it, especially coming from you, but…you hate me!"

Alright, that was definitely Jacob…

Rose laughed. Did I hear correctly? She laughed?

"Oh, don't you worry, dog, I still loathe you will all that I am, but the main reason no one has contacted you yet is because of Nessie. If she so much as suspects where you might be, she'd be after you in a second. At least that's what Edward says, but I don't think that's true, she's a big girl and brilliant beyond her years. I called you for two reasons, both having to do with her. One, to fill you in, Nessie wouldn't want you completely clueless, and two, to let Nessie know you were safe and sound."

Oooh! I was going to have a field day with this! Rose was actually calling the 'mongrel' against Edward's orders! Even Bella had been against it…I realized, almost nostalgically, that Rose might not want to have sex with me after I was through with her, but…this was just too sweet a deal to pass up!

"I hate you just as much, don't worry."

Rose said, then—

"Yeah, I hate you too."

Again Jacob, though I could swear, from the way he said it, that Rose had made him smile.

Now that was a once in a lifetime moment!

I grinned from ear to ear as she hung up the phone and got up from the floor, turning around with a small smile on her face and her eyes cast downward onto the phone—which only made the whole thing even better!—she still hadn't seen me.

I couldn't hold it any longer.

"AAAWWWW! ROSE YOU'RE SUCH A SOFTIE!" I crooned going over to her in one quick step and squeezing her into a bone crunching hug. She jumped with surprise, calming down only slightly when she realized it was me, her big lovable teddy bear and not someone else—like Edward, haha! He's so going to murder her! --I pulled her head into my chest, muffling her protests and messing up her hair.

"And to think that all this time I thought you were this hot, hardcore, heartless beauty queen. And then I catch you doing this?" I laughed, giving her a bit more space in my arms. She lifted her face up at me, her eyes blazing.

"Shut up, Emmett?" she hissed at me. "Do you want Edward killing me all the sooner?"

I waved a hand dismissively. "Ah, don't worry about him. This is too hilarious to kill over, and what's more, my Rose has a sensitive side for Jacob Black!"

"SHUT UP!" she yelled, punching me in the chest. I wasn't ready for it and keeled over; she quickly unlocked herself from my embrace and ran over to the mirror to fix her hair.

Typical Rose.

I flopped onto the bed and watched my hot spouse angrily comb her hair and throw evil glances at me. How could anyone not think I was the luckiest guy around?

"So babe," I said, "should I be worried about Jake? You know all this time I thought you hated him, but it turns out it was one of those reverse psychology things, you know. Love those that you hate, or something like tha—hey!" I laughed, as she threw the brush in her hand straight at my head. Her face held a look of absolute disgust.

"If you EVER say something like that, Emmett Cullen, you're going to regret it very dearly!" she snarled at me. "I only did it for Nessie, and nothing more!"

I ignored her, reciting aloud in a high pitched voice, "I hate you just as much, don't worry." Then in a manly voice, "I hate you too." And then I pretended to hang up an invisible phone, smiling ridiculously with my eyes rolling upward and my lashes batting like crazy.

The next thing I knew I was pinned onto the floor with a very annoyed Rosalie on top of me.

I grinned mischievously at her. "Hey now, babe, if you wanted me that bad right now you could've just asked, no need to surprise me." Her eyes grew even wider as she snarled at me...but of course I just laughed. "OOooh, you know I like it when you get rough," I teased.

She slapped me across the face, then spoke to me in a soft voice. "I can't believe you! We're in the middle of a crisis here, I'm trying to do something nice for our dilapidated niece, and all you can think of besides making fun of me is sex!"

I probably should've stopped right there…but…

"Hmmm, you do have a point…I'm sorry, Rosalie. You're absolutely right, like always. Will you forgive me, my beautiful queen?" I asked her, putting on my best puppy dog face. She hesitated for a moment, getting lost in my adorable eyes, no doubt…

I made my move…or tried to. As soon as I made to wheel her around so that I was on top of her…

"Ha! Don't even think about it, sweetie," she purred. She'd countered my little trick with a quick flick of her wrist, bounding my feet and hands in her two hands and slamming me onto my stomach. I groaned. Since when did she become all 'pro-wrestler?'

"Now," she whispered into my ear, "I'm already going to get chewed out by Edward. If you so much as think about what you heard, or any other disgusting and ridiculous thoughts involving," she wrinkled her nose in disgust, "Jacob and I even being friendly!...You won't get any of me for a VERY long time."

I blinked. Damn, she had me…I smiled at her, grimacing slightly as she pushed my face back into the carpet.

"You got it sweetheart," I managed to say, though the plush of the carpet restricted my coherency.

"Good."

She released me and went back to the mirror. I got up slowly, eyeing her up and down, and massaging where she'd held me with my right hand…damn, she'd really hurt me this time…what a woman!

**************************Alice*************************************

I had already sifted through Aro, Caius, and Marcus' futures but came up with nothing. Jane and Alec were another difficult task, they kept changing their minds so much I couldn't tell what they were planning at all! Edward had asked me to try locating the Jeanine girl, but of course nothing came out of that either.

It was all so frustrating! I felt like I was looking at blind spots all over again, which only justified my theory that Jeanine had similar qualities of a hybrid, or whoever else was involved...I was vaguely aware of Jasper by my side, massaging my temples every now and then and keeping me relaxed. Good old Jasper, I don't know what I would do without him…

Then suddenly it hit me.

It was the most unexpected and irrational decision…yet it could also mean…

I looked up into Jasper's worried face, my jump having startled him as well.

"What it is, Alice? What did you see?" he asked urgently, kneeling down so that we were eye level. He could see the flitting emotions crossing my mind…confusion, surprise, and…hope…

"Jane and Alec," I said carefully, "they've decided to quit the Volturri guard."

Sorry for the sudden ending to this chapter, and also for not including Oliver yet. It was just getting too long—I was having too much fun with Emmett's part hehe—but Oliver will be in the next chapter for sure. What do you all think though? Jane and Alec quitting? What could that mean? That they failed in their 'plan'? Or…let me know what you all think please? I won't update the next chapter till probably tomorrow, but if I get enough reviews—even if you hated it!—I might update early in the morning :) so review, review, I want to know your thoughts!( in a totally nonEdward way though lol). Thanks!
