9. Do Not Mention

BPOV

See, problem solved. Alice will watch out for the Volturi and nobody else will have anything to do with Italy. I don't really know why Edward was so worried about telling them that. He sighed again. Of course, apparently keeping secrets was part of his nature. At least, he was always keeping secrets from me in the book. I was really glad I knew all those secrets now. I took a moment to ponder what would have happened if Edward had been the only one to read the books. Somehow, I don't think it would have gone anywhere near as well. Then again, if I had been the only one to get the books, it really wouldn't have gone well then either. I could just imagine how much he would have freaked out if I had simply gone up to him that first day, or even the next week and told him everything I knew. I was really glad Stephenie Meyer had informed both of us at the same time. Hmmm. His family was actually taking this rather well considering how crazy it sounded.

"You know, it just occurred to me that you're all handling this really well. I'm sorry for being so forward about acting like I know you. I hope I haven't been making you all uncomfortable."

"Don't worry about it, Bella," Carlisle assured me. "We're rather used to strange things in this family."

The others all smiled and nodded.

"Emmett being one of the strangest," Edward added.

"Hey! This from the boy who hears voices," Emmett retorted.

"That's enough, boys," Esme insisted. "We don't want to give Bella a bad impression of us."

"I think it's a little late for that, Esme," Jasper muttered. "Apparently, she already knows us."

They all laughed.

"What's this you said about the werewolves, Bella?" Carlisle inquired.

I exchanged a look with Edward. He didn't seem to want to jump in with an explanation, so I decided I would do it.

"The wolves are back. There's already at least one. His name is Sam Uley. Apparently, they have 24 chromosome pairs, and their dormant genes are triggered by the presence of vampires. So, because you are here in Forks, many of their young men will become werewolves. It could be as many as 15 males and one female, though that would only be if Forks comes under attack, which it did in SM's future. Hopefully, we can prevent that from happening."

"Hmmm, we'd better contact the tribal elders then and renegotiate the treaty. This is an unfortunate turn of events," Carlisle pondered.

"Well, Edward and I did have something of plan. One of the elders, Billy Black, is best friends with my father. His son, Jacob Black, is the true Alpha of the pack, but he isn't supposed to change for about a year. His two best friends also become wolves a little while after he does. He doesn't believe the legends right now. He thinks his father is just being superstitious. So, I thought this would be a good time to invite him and his friends over here to get to know you all."

"What?" Rosalie screeched. "You want us to invite werewolves into our house? Do you want us to die?"

"No, of course not. They don't even have to come here. The problem is that they are taught that vampires don't have feelings, that they're not people. According to SM's future, the wolves hate you until they start to get to know you. Once they start seeing you as people, they actually choose to help defend our family. We face a newborn army, and they kill ten of the twenty vampires. Without them, we wouldn't all have survived. Also, later, they stand with us against the entire Volturi guard and all three brothers. They risk their lives to protect us. If they didn't stand with us, we would have been immediately destroyed. Because they were there, we all walked away unharmed. We need the wolves on our side."

"When is the newborn army coming?" Jasper demanded.

"Well, hopefully they won't come at all. It was the result of a series of events. But we know who and why, so we can prevent the first even from ever occurring."

Edward groaned forcefully. "Bella, what was the point of our agreement not to tell the family everything?"

"Well, I'm sure they don't need to know every little detail, Edward, but how can they help prevent the bad things if they don't know anything about them?"

"They don't need to worry and fret about things that won't occur."

"Of course not, but if it were me, I'd want to know what I was up against. By the way, Alice, I just thought you'd like to know that you can't see werewolves in your visions. So if they are involved in any way, you can't see that portion of the future."

"What? Why?" Alice wasn't pleased.

"We don't really know, but your theory was that you could see vampires because you are one, and humans because you had been one, but not hybrids, because you've never been one. Speaking of hybrids, you can't see half-human, half-vampire hybrids either. There are several down in South America, whom we may want to visit next year. So you won't be able to see mine and Edward's child."

"Bella!" Edward shrieked. "That's one of the things we weren't mentioning!"
