G & BEL- thank you for the love and support.

Bookreader451- don't be sorry, I appreciate all reviews. Good and bad, bad reviews just make people work harder. At least it does to me. English is my second language. I had a beta but they went ghost. I've considered Grammarly, but rather not pay for the service.

YuukiAsuna-Chan- why thank you for considering you know where my story is going. As I've said before, my story doesn't hold the same magic as the books/movie. Ex: my wolves don't bust out of their clothes and Bella grew a dick. Alice & Edward having a beating heart. Now not saying there will or won't be a hybrid baby. But having the option to create that story line is a plus.

Welcome to my new followers and favorites, thank you all for your support. Considering doing a Bella & Rosalie pairing. A few songs from TTPD have created some thoughts in my head. Again, please review, like, favorite etc.

*POV BELLA*

After Charlie's attack, we trained harder and lengthened our patrolling. The realization of what could happen to the town if Victoria and her army aren't stopped, drove us. We questioned that she would come back again, the possibility it was just to distract us while her minions stole my clothes. Unfortunately for the Cullens and I, we had to keep up appearances at school. Fortunately, the wolves were excused down at the Res. With everyone knowing the truth there, they wanted the wolves to do their job. They covered mornings while the Cullens covered nights. And I was stuck in the in-between.

Mike: earth to Bella!

Bella: oh my bad guys, I was thinking about some stuff.

Jess: clearly… anyways, I was asking. Are you and Alice going to prom?

Bella: uhhhh… I guess?

Jess: you guess? Have you not asked her? Prom is in less than 2 weeks. Bella it's senior year, it's prom, our last high school dance!

Bella: and I hate dances.

Thirteen years of school together and you would think they would know this already.

Angela: you should love dances now. You got the girl at the last one you went to.

I playful scowl at Angela as the others laugh. I hear Emmett and Edward laughing as they walk into lunch. Thankfully Rose and Alice ran home to check in with Esme.

Emmett: so what's up guys?

I roll my eyes as they sit down to join us.

Jess: Bella still hasn't asked Alice to prom. Can you believe that?

Emmett: you seriously haven't asked? Do you really even know Alice?!

Bella: I've been kinda busy with other stuff.

Edward: so have I and yet, I asked Jake.

Angela: same, and I asked Ben.

Emmett: and I asked Rose. You're slipping Bella.

Edward: annnnnd since you waited so long, you have to make it a big ask.

Shit… I grunt as I smack my head down on the table. More stress creeping in now.

Bella: anybody have any ideas?

Mike: take her on a plane ride.

Bella: does it look like I have a plane?

Mike: well no…. but Seattle has all types of planes.

Bella: next!

Alice: next what?

I halfway jump out of my chair. Wondering when she got here and how much she heard. Why didn't I smell her?

Alice: I got here as you whacked your head there. Soooo, why do you need a plane?

I swiftly look around the table but they're all looking away.

Bella: I, I, I…. Alice, will you go to prom with me?

Alice: silly Bella, I thought that was a given.

I grunt and let my head fall again. Maybe a quick nap will help. Before I can fully relax, I feel Alice tense next to me. My head snaps up and I see Alice's vision face. Luckily, it's not too noticeable, to anyone else it looks like she's daydreaming.

Mike: great now we lost Alice too. Y'all two are made for each other…

I turn to glare at him but catch Edward's eye. Shit. Alice snaps out of her vision and squeezes my hand. Doesn't take me to look at her to know we need to go.

Bella: hey, wanna go for a walk with me before class?

Alice doesn't answer, she just fakes a smile and stands up to join me.

Edward: ok if I join you guys?

Alice still doesn't answer, but I nod my head at him. We walk out and head towards the parking lot, making sure there's no chance to be overheard.

Bella: what happen?

Alice: there's more of them.

Bella: what?

Edward: and Jasper is leading them. He made the decision.

Rosalie: that bastard!

Alice: he's expanded his army. And he's moved up the date. They'll be here the Friday before prom.

Emmett: ok? We'll still kick all their asses and go to prom the next day.

Edward: we were risking it with what Alice already saw. There were at least 10 more.

I see the comprehension of the severity cover Emmett's face.

Edward: that's a fucking great idea Rose, we need to talk to Carlisle now!

They both take off into the woods. I look to Emmett, but he just shrugs his shoulder before following his wife and brother. I turn to look at Alice and I can tell she's in no mood to go to class. I grab her hand and lead her to my car. Edward sends me a text that he asked Jake to get the pack together at the house. I send him a hasty ok. While I know we should be joining them, my wolf wants to soothe our imprint. Take her somewhere, away from the stress at home.

Alice: we need to go to the house Bella.

A chill runs through my body at her tone. A voice I never heard from her. I want to refuse, but I just turn the car towards the Cullen house. Though the ride doesn't take long, the silence further makes me uneasy. I steal a glimpse at Alice and can tell she's scanning the future. She's looking for every conceivable outcome. When we arrive, she's still looking into the future. I walk around the car and open her door, kneeling to hold her hand. After what feels like forever, I see a single tear slide down her face. It pulls at my heart, and I instantly pull her into my arms. After a few seconds, she wraps her arms around me. I hold her tighter and place kisses on her head.

Bella: it's going to be ok. I promise.

Alice: in every vision I lose you Bella! EVERY VISION!

Bella: I promise you won't.

Alice: you cannot promise that Bella!

Bella: I PROMISE YOU; you're not getting rid of me that easily. I worked hard to get you. I won't just give up.

I sense the others joining us outside. I'm sure hearing everything.

Esme: our cousins from Denali are coming to help. You won't lose her Alice. I'll make sure you won't.

Carlisle: so will I.

Emmett: you already know I'll kill for you sis.

Rosalie and Edward didn't say anything, they just nodded in agreement. The warmth in my chest extents throughout my whole body. My pack family was one thing, I've grown up with them. We had years for our love to grow this strong. You know, besides the whole wolf pack thing. It's a given that I would give my life for them and them me. Yet here stood, 5 vampires that are by birth supposed to be my nemeses. Five vampires that I've only known for a few months. Five vampires that are willing to give their existence for me. They loved me before Alice even figured out, she loves me. I feel Alice freeze in my arms, great another vision. When the smile breaks out on Edward's face, I relax a little.

Alice: Carmen and Eleazar have agreed to come too.

*POV ALICE*

Alice: ok, it's not 100%. But with Carmen and Eleazar, our chances have improved. There are a few outcomes where we win without any deaths on our end. A few injuries with the wolves but no deaths. Our cousins will be here tomorrow. Carmen and Eleazar already are skilled, from their time with the Volturi. The sisters trained to become fighters after losing their mother. A story for another time. Anyways, we'll all have to train together. Get them accustomed to fighting with the wolves.

Sam: will they be ok fighting with us?

Carlisle: they know about you all. They know what fighting with us will mean. If there was a problem, they wouldn't be joining us.

Paul: what are we going to do with our families?

Bella: Charlie and the others will be down at the Res. We'll have one wolf and one vampire there.

Paul: who?

Bella: Jared volunteered. He's a good fighter but you and Sam are better. We'll need you on the field.

Esme: and I volunteer.

Sam: we can't ask you to leave your husband Mrs. Cullen.

Esme: please Sam, we're family. Call me Esme. As Bella said, we need our best fighters…

Bella: I didn't mean it like that, I'm sor…

Esme: I know sweetie. I know you didn't mean it like that. But it's true. I'm not a fighter. And Carlisle is a doctor. You and the wolves will need him. Especially if Alice is seeing injuries.

I see the uneasiness that crosses everyone's face.

Carlisle: it's established. Jared and Esme will protect the Res, along with Charlie. I think you all should get some sleep. Tomorrow will be a long day.

Everyone bids their goodbyes and go to head out. I give Bella a deep kiss and run out the door, knowing she will follow. Doesn't take long to hear her paws running behind me. She takes a nip at my shirt as she gets closer to me. I jump onto the nearest tree and start hopping through the trees, knowing she won't be able to get me. Her growl causes me to laugh as we run to our spot. At the last tree, I jump down and wait for her to shift back. Once she takes my hand, I lead her to sit down over the cliff.

Bella: do you feel better?

Alice: marry me, Bella.

Bella: what?

Alice: marry me.

Bella: we're getting married this summer, Alice.

Alice: no, marry me before this whole thing. If anything happens…

Bella: you heard the others, nothing will happen.

Alice: but if it does?

Bella: it won't. I will marry you, Alice. Trust me, I will. I just won't marry you out of fear. If anything, our wedding will make me fighter harder. It will make you fight harder. And think about it, it would make the others fight hard. Especially Rosalie. She owes you for all the times you were her maid of honor.

I don't reply, I just lay my head on her shoulder. Enjoying the rest of the night with the love of my life. Around midnight, I grab my sleeping wolfie and carry her home. She holds onto me when I lay her down. Not letting me go. So I lay down on her chest. Resting over her heartbeat. The heartbeat that keeps me alive. The heartbeat that will make me fight harder.
