Chapter 10

June 3rd Bella and Helen attended the Bonfire on the head lands where they heard the Quileute legends. They learned about the third wife who sacrificed herself for the tribe.

Helen and Bella became aware of the trouble in Seattle as being a newborn army.

Alice decided to throw a graduation party mostly for Bella.

Bella broke her hand while punching Jacob's face because he kissed her against her will.

Helen slapped Jacob and said "you don't kiss anyone against their will least of all my sister."

Jacob said "it won't happen again."

Charlie said "you are right it won't. I never thought I would have to teach you how to punch someone without getting hurt Bella."

Edward took Bella home where Carlisle wrapped her hand.

Helen sat with Charlie and they both cheered loudly when Bella walked across the stage to get her diploma. Charlie took the girls out for dinner then he drove them to the Cullen's for the party. The girls helped get the house ready. By the time people started arriving Alice had the place looking like a dance club. With flashing lights and lively music Esme had a refreshment table that every one was enjoying.

Bella figured out that the intruder, Victoria and the activity in Seattle was all connected Alice had a vision that the Newborn Army was coming to them.

Jacob, Quil and Embry showed up at the party and they agreed to let Sam know about the army coming and they would fight along side the Cullen's.

Bella wanted to be there when the wolves and Cullen's would train to fight the Newborns it was about 3 am when Edward came to get Bella. Bella quietly shook Helen and whispered "Come on Helen we have to go now."

Helen looked at her phone then at her sister and whispered "it is 3 in the morning. Unlike our vampire friends who don't sleep I am human it is in the middle of the night I am going back to sleep now. Have fun doing whatever you and Edward are going to do."

Helen turned over and closed her eyes.

Edward smirked and softly said "she is safe enough tonight if she doesn't want to come it is alright."

Edward and Bella left. Helen was still asleep when Edward brought Bella home.

June 12th Alice came over and let Charlie know that she Bella and Helen would be spending a few days together while the rest of the family would be going camping.

The next night Bella, Helen and Edward were alone in the house Alice gave Helen instruction that she was to sleep in her room so Bella and Edward would be alone in his room.

Thursday Bella spread her scent all over the forest.

Helen, Bella and Edward would be staying in the mountains while the rest of the Cullen's and the wolves would be fighting the newborns.

Jacob and Jared showed up to carry the girls to the campsite that Edward set up.

Jared put Helen down she turned to him and smiled and said "thank you Jared."

Jared smiled and said "your welcome I hope this works I would hate to see you get hurt after all none of this is your fault."

Helen said "go spend time with Kim while you can."

Jared ran off Bella was with Edward he reached out to Helen as she shivered he said "come into the tent it is a little warmer in there."

Helen went to him and said "it is cold for late spring."

Edward said "Alice saw a storm coming in. I got some nice warm sleeping bags for you both."

Bella said "that sounds nice."

As the storm hit it felt like the tent was made out of tissue paper and the sleeping bags did little to help. They tried to conserve heat by putting the sleeping bags together. Edward was miserable because the girls were miserable there was nothing he could do to help them. Jacob came in and after some convincing Edward allowed him to get in the sleeping bag with the girls. It wasn't long before the girls were a sleep. Edward and Jacob talked about their feelings for Bella.

The next morning Helen woke up before Bella. Seth was there as his wolf. She started a camp fire to heat up some water and cook some food that Edward brought with him. Bella woke up and went to Edward they were talking when Jacob asked "you are going to marry him?"

Jacob ran off and Bella made Edward bring him back she talked with him Helen didn't say anything she just watched her sister interact with the two guys. Bella kissed Jacob passionately before he ran off she went to Edward she looked at him but couldn't bring herself to say anything.

Helen said "Bella breakfast is ready."

Bella went to her sister who served her up some food they ate and cleaned up when Seth whimpered Edward said "it is starting."

Then a few minutes later said "Jacob just arrived. He is good."

Then he looked worried "she is close I can hear her thoughts. Seth go."

Seth ran off the girls got behind Edward just as a male vampire showed up and Victoria jumped in a tree.

Edward said "Rylie you are wasting your time Victoria doesn't love you she changed you because you are from Forks. You know the area. She needed you to control her army she made it to get revenge from her real mate James. You mean nothing to her in fact she will be glad to be rid of you."

Victoria said "I love you there is no one else I told you about their mind tricks."

Edward said "I can read your thought that is how I know what she is thinking."

Victoria said "don't let him do this to us."

Rylie looked at Edward and said "you're dead."

He went to attack Edward but Seth attacked him removing his arm.

Victoria tried to run but Edward teased her about how she wanted him to know what she felt when he had destroyed James. She attacked Edward and they began to fight.

It looked like Rylie was winning against Seth and he joined in the fight against Edward Bella went to the ground at the base of a rock out crop she picked up a sharp rock and cut her arm the fresh blood ran down her arm and the three vampires looked her way Edward and Seth took advantage of the distraction. Seth tore apart Rylie and Edward tore off Victoria's head and then burn the body pieces.

Edward went to Bella tore her shirt to bandage her injured arm. Seth whimpered again Edward said "Alice needs us to go now. Seth will take you Helen?"

Seth ran into the brush and a few moments later came out as himself he picked up Helen and ran off without a word as Edward picked up Bella and ran off in the opposite direction.

Seth brought Helen to the Black home a short time after they arrived the pack arrived with Jacob who was injured Carlisle showed up and he began to rebreak his bones to set them properly. Bella pulled up in the truck.

Carlisle came out and talked with Billy a bit then turned to Bella and said "he is asking for you don't be long he needs his rest."

Bella went in to talk with Jacob. Helen got in the truck behind the wheel she doubted Bella was going to be in a condition to drive when she was ready to leave. She had to face facts she was in love with two men and she could only have one. No matter who she decided on she would be in pain for losing the other.

Bella got in the truck and Helen pulled away the tears fell as Helen drove home. Edward held Bella as she cried herself to sleep that night.
