"Hello sister." I said

As I appeared in a fire like manner.

"Really that's how you choose to enter?" Bella asked

"I was busy when you called just be happy I showed and am clothed." I said

Rosalie then ran up and hugged me.

"I missed you so much." Rose said

"I missed you too." I said

"You all know what Edward wants. And you know what I want. But I won't force myself on you..." Bella said

The entire Cullen family was now seated and I was still in the same spot. I looked around and saw the house was back to it original warmth and beauty.

"I think the only fair way to handle this is by vote--" Bella said

"You can't be serious --" Edward said

"This is my meeting, Edward." Bella said

Way to go Bella. I said to her

"However this turns out, I'm not letting the Volturi hurt you. I'll go back o Italy alone--" Bella said

"The hell you will. I'm not missing another fight." Emmett said

"It really much of a fight. Once Ana showed her self they all looked scared. Then..." Edward said

"Then what?" Rose asked

"Then Caius looked like he either wanted to eat her or kiss her." Alice said

"Back to the topic of Bella please." I said

I could feel Jasper looking at me but I ignored him.

"That's not up for a vote, Emmett. I don't want you guys involved." Bella said

"We've always been involved, honey, and we're not going to stop --" Esme said

"No, please -- I want you to seriously think about this. If I join you, you'll be stuck with me for a long time - forever. It's a huge decision. And I want - I need your honesty here." Bella said

They all nod.

"Then let's take a vote... Alice?" Bella asked

Alice jumps up and hugs Bella.

"Like you're not already me sister. Of course, yes." Alice said

Bella smiles and Mason stands up.

"I vote yes." Mason said

"Okay, Rosalie?" Bella asked

You can tell Rosalie is torn, she looks at Edward who is stony towards her.

"Edward, I'm sorry for what I did. I really am. And I know you're not ready to forgive me..(to Bella) but this isn't the life I'd have chosen for myself. I wish there'd been someone to vote no for me...so...no." Rosalie said

"I vote hell yeah. We can pick a fight with these Volturi some other way." Emmett said

Esme approaches and embraces Bella.

"I already think of you as part of the family. Yes." Esme said

Carlisle moves not Bella but to Edward.

"You can't go along with this, Carlisle, you know what it means." Edward said

"You've chosen not live without her, which leaves me no choice. I won't lose my son. But Alice has never turned anyone. It'd be safer if I did it--" Carlisle said

The front door suddenly slams. Edward is gone.

"Thank you. Thank you all." Bella said

"So why did you call me, you didn't need me here." I said

"It was Edward's idea. I'm sorry. But now that you are here will you stay?" Bella said

"Hey, Ana what happened to the clothes you were wearing in Italy because it wasn't that." Alice said

"They got ruined." I said

"Please tell me you didn't drink from any of those tourist?" Alice said

With that there were gasp from everyone in the room.

"What's to you if I did or not. But no my clothes were ruined in a different way." I said

"Okay, where did you get that shirt then?" Alice asked

"Well looks who's miss 20 questions. My clothes got ruined when Caius tore them off of me. Why yo might ask? To have sex. This shirt is his, and before you ask no I don't have anything on under it." I said

There was a growl and we all looked to see it come from Jasper.

"No you don't have the right to growl. You left I found others way to occupy my time." I said

"Yeah and their names were, Jonathan and Paul." Bella said

And just like that I was out of the house and in the woods. With Jasper's hand on wrist.

"Oh look your mad. That was never my attention." I said

He growled.

"Is that all you can do is growl, you don't get to growl you left me. You didn't even say goodbye." I said

"I...I..." Jasper said

"Really all you can say is I, do you know what I felt when Rosalie told you guys were leaving. That none of you were going to say goodbye you were just going to be gone. You weren't even going to say goodbye. At least Edward ripped Bella's heart in person." I yelled

He rushed forward and kissed me. I pushed him away.

"No you don't get to go and kiss me while I'm yelling at you. You leaving reminded me of when you left the first time and didn't come back." I yelled

"I'm sorry." Jasper said

"I'm sorry is not going to work this time." I said

I turned to walk away but he was in front of me.

"Please just let me explain." Jasper begged

I nodded my head.

"Rosalie was going to say goodbye to you. I knew I couldn't look you in the face and then leave again. But I also knew I couldn't take you with me, I knew you needed to be here for Bella. I love you Lilly." Jasper said

"Bella was a zombie and I got so mad that you couldn't even say goodbye that I turned them off." I yelled

"Turned what off?" Jasper asked

"My emotion's. I made it so I was walking around with not one care in the world. No happiness, anger, rage, grief, love. I made it so that they did not exist. Want know how much fun one can have when they don't give a shit about anything? I killed so much, so many people died by my hands. And I didn't care still don't. So tell me Jasper do you still love me?" I asked

"Yes no matter what you do or what you become I will always love you." Jasper said

I was going to say something back when I pulled from my body. I was sitting in a car with a person I had never seen before and Victoria.

"Where you headed?" Victoria asked

"Seattle." the driver said

"Sounds perfect." Victoria says

I am then back in the woods. There is a inch between Jasper and i.

"Are you okay? You looked like Alice when she has a vision." Jasper said

"Yeah. I'm fine." I said

"Please give me a chance to prove how much I love you." Jasper said

I reach my hand up and put it on his cheek.

"You have nothing to prove, I know how much you love me Jasper. After the things I have done this past year I do not deserve your love or families." I said

I took my hand off his cheek and walked away and he let me. I took out mu phone and called Caius.

"Hello." Caius said

"Hey, it's me. I won't be coming back." I said

"Is it because of him?" he asked

"No. There is a vampire here that has a vendetta against my sister. And I'm not about to leave her in the hands of a bunch of vampires." I said

"But you will be around him and the wolf." Caius said

"The wolf will imprint in a couple of days and as for him he just let me walk away. So you my friend have nothing to fear." I said

"Be careful okay. I might be a vampire but I was still on of your protectors." Caius said

"I will." I said

I then hung up the phone. I then walked home loving what little peace there was. The next day Bella and I were in Edward's car driveing somewhere.

"When?" Edward asked

"After graduation." Bella said

"Just two months." I said

"It'll be best for dad that way. I can pretend to be at college somewhere. Carlisle suggested it. But... I wish you'd be the one to change me." Bella said

"Would you be willing to trade for that?" Edward asked

"Name it." Bella said hopeful

"Five more years as a human." Edward said

"The Volturi won't wait that long." I said

"I'll settle for three." Edward said

"I won't risk it. It'll have to be Carlisle." Bella said

Edward then grabs her hand.

"Why are you so willing to give up your soul?" Edward asked

"Because I don't believe you've lost yours. And I want to share mine with you forever." Bella said

Edward looks at her, he kisses her hand then slams on the brakes. Jacob is standing in the middle of the road. With a hard expression on his face. He then moves out of the road Edward pulls the car over the side of the road we get out and follow Jacob.

"You're still alive." Jacob said

"I've been calling you." Bella said

"Couldn't drop by?" Jacob asked

"He thinks I'm keeping you away." Edward said

"Stay the hell out of my head." Jacob yells

"Dad grounded me, Jake. We're trying to get back before he wakes up." Bella said

Jacob then looks over at me.

"Everyone is worried about you they have questions. Are grounded as well?" Jacob asked

"No, I just got back in town last night. I was going to head over to Sam' s later today." I said

Jacob then looks over to Bella, you can tell he doesn't' buy what she said, but Edward takes a step towards Jacob.

"Jacob, I know you have something to say to me, but I'd like to say something first. Alright?" Edward asked

Jacob leans back against a tree, arms folded, waiting.

"Thank you. For keeping Bella alive when I... didn't." Edward said

"No, you didn't. and it wasn't for your benefit, trust me." Jacob said

"I know. I'm still grateful. But I'm back now. And I;m not leaving Bella's side till she orders me away." Edward said

Bella looks at Edward, he returns the look. Jacob sees the devotion between them. It wounds him. But he masks it.

"We'll see." Jacob said

"Either way, we'll handle Victoria from here on out." Edward said

"The hell you will." I said

All three people look at me.

"You were gone you left knowing she was still around and a threat. She is the reason Harry Clearwater is dead. You are going to let the wolves help or you and I are going to have a bigger issue then we already do." I said

Edward and Bella looked taken back while Jacob had a smile on his face.

"She's been laying low. Ever since your freaky sister showed up. Guess she can't stand you Cullens either." Jacob said

"She'll come back." Edward said

"She does, she's ours. She killed on our turf." Jacob said

"We'll see." Edward said

"Did you not just hear what the little wolf said. My turn to talk. I'm here to remind you about a key point in the Treaty." Jacob said

"I haven't forgotten." Edward said

"Good." Jaocb said

"What? What key point?" Bella asked

"If any of them bites a human, the truce is over. That's bite, not kill." I siad

"But... if I choose it, it's not of your business." Bella said

Jacob is horrified, starting to shake with rage.

"Jake calm down." I said

I move over to him.

"If you...what!? No. No way. I won't let you --" Jacob said

"Bella , step back-- Ana get over here." Edward said

"You're not gonna be one of them." Jacob said

"That's not your call --" Bella said

"You know what we'll do to you - I won't have a choice --" Jacob said

"We're done here--" Edward said

He steps forward and grabs my arm then he grabs Bella's. He starts to pull us away. Jacob lunges, trying grabbed Bella and I trying to extract us from him.

"You don't speak for them." Jacob said

Edward lets go of me to push Jacob away, he flies back ten feet in the air and mid-air he phases into a wolf. He lands on the ground on all fours. Spinning to face us. Edward then shifts his stance, ready for a fight.

"Stop." Bella yells.

Edward and Jacob circle each other. Seconds from fighting.

"Get out of here. Now." Edward says

But Bella races between them, I was leaning on a tree I was not getting in the middle I'm still not healed from Paul attack.

"You do this, you'll be going through me." Bella said

A long tense beat, none of them backing down.

"I swear to God, I'm not moving." Bella said

Both rivals see she's dead serious. Edward backs off, ever so slightly the wolf does the same.

"Give me a second. Please." Bella said to Edward

Edward shakes his head. Doesn't move a inch.

"Read his thoughts. Is he going to hurt me?" Bella asked

He does and he reluctantly backs away. But his eyes never leave Jacob. Bella moves closer to Jacob, blocking their line of sight. Her voice kind and pleading.

"Jacob, I lobe you, you're my best friend. But...I can't change how I feel. Pleas don't make me choose. Because it'll be him. It's always been him." Bella said

Anguish sweeps across the wolf's face.

"But you know how important you are to--" Bella said

But Jacob turns around and runs off.

"I hope you happy now Bella. I hope the Cullens are worth it." I say

I then take off running after Jacob and change into my wolf to actually have a chance of finding him.

(voice over)

I cry as I see my sister and my sister turn and run from me. I think about she said.

"There were problems ahead. Seemingly insurmountable...(Edward arms wrap around me form behind)...if I didn't become a vampire, the Volturi would kill me. If I did, my best friend would do the job himself. Or get killed in the attempt. And my sister caught in the middle still in love with Jasper but to hurt to show, but also with her job with the wolves.(I turn to face Edward, I look into his loving eyes) Victoria was still on the loose, putting everyone I loved in danger...(Edward kisses m, washing away all of my concerns and doubt)...But I'd already survived the worst--losing Edward. So I knew I could survive anything..."

"I'm here. Always." Edward said

I can see that's he is telling the truth. He takes my hand and together we head out of the woods.

"And soon, I'd be like him. We'd face our fate together. Forever."

As we leave the woods. We can hear the sound of a agonized wolf in the distance then something which makes Edward freeze and look toward the woods.
