"...Bella has slowly started to go back to her previous self, although she seems to be in a continuous torment, I can't mention his name or any of them, but that's easy. She seems to be re-connecting with her friends from school which is great and I can see Charlie's happy about that, however, I still worry about her - Abigail xx"

Previously: "Their skin is dark and their long ebony tresses are styled in dreadlocks, but it's their eyes that catch my attention. Blood red. Human eater. I feel my heart speed up, I'm about to tell Bella to run when I hear her whisper out a word in a surprised shock "Laurent"".

Abigail's POV

The vampire now known as 'Laurent' cautiously looks at me before flicking his eyes over "Bella" his voice is calm and smooth, instantly sending chills of discomfort down my spine - something's wrong. I look towards Bella with worried eyes but see her beam at him, his eyes stay focused on her as he slowly steps towards us "I must admit,  I didn't expect to find you here" I feel his eyes on me once more "or her", I'm un-nerved and just want to leave 

"Bella we should go" I keep looking at Laurent as I speak calmly, she shakes her head at me before looking back

"I live here. But you - I thought you were in Alaska with Carlisle's friend?" Her head tilts as she continues to speak and I see his head nod in understanding 

"Tanya, I was. It was kind of him to arrange, given my association with James and Victoria, 'The Enemy.'" The look in his eyes I'm unsure of but my gut is telling me to run. I feel my heart beat faster and look towards Bella urging her once more

"We should really get going Bells" but alas she brushed me off

"You tried to help us." It's then that I hear her voice waver as if she has only just realised the situation we are in, I follow him with my eyes as he begins to stroll in a slow arc around us, his eyes calculating and assessing us

"I went to visit the Cullens, but their house is empty. I'm surprised they left you behind. Weren't you sort of a pet of theirs?" His eyes narrow as he speaks, I see Bella stiffen and her smile falter, her fear is beginning to show

"Um... something like that." I see her shift nervously as her voice turns bitter, I step closer to her ready to grab her if we need to run but I know we won't get far, he's a vampire...so basically we're screwed. 

His voice is light as he presses on "do the Cullens visit often?" It's then that I realise he is trying to scope out if we're alone or not, I gulp in fear and nervously look at him and see his eyes are solely focused on Bella trying to work her out.

Bella's POV

I glance nervously at Abbie, who has gone white as snow, fear covering her face her eyes locked on Laurent, I take my eyes off her to look back at Laurent as I go to answer him, a translucent form of Edward suddenly appears in front of me, shocking me, I feel a deep ache in my heart from seeing his face again. His voice is firm as he looks at me sternly 

"Lie." 

I look towards Laurent and quickly nod my head "absolutely. All the time" I can feel myself stutter as my fear and nerves take over and know that he did not believe me. I hear Edward once more

"Lie better." 

Even when he's not with me he is still trying to protect me, I swallow and answer trying to muster some courage and strength behind my words to come across believable, "I'll tell them you stopped by" my voice doesn't waver this time and notice that Edward faded away, creating a dull ache in my chest once more. I try and relax my erratic heart "will they be able to reach you in Alaska?"

I see him shake his head as a low and predatory chuckle escapes his mouth while he slowly paces "I don't think so. Tanya's 'vegetarian' family was pleasant enough. But the dietary restrictions were difficult - living on nothing but animals" suddenly, he's standing inches away from me and I now see his eyes properly. Dark blood-red. "Tell me Bella. Do you ever feel compelled to... cheat?" I feel my breath catch in my throat as his voice turns darker, I look at Abbie and see her wide eyes, I take a step back to bring some distance

Abigail's POV

"But that's not why I left. I came back here as a favor to Victoria." I furrow my brows in confusion who is this Victoria? I try and calm my fast heart but to no avail, I keep flicking my eyes between the two in fear of the unknown, what is going to happen? Are we going to die? My palms sweat as my flight or fight instincts kick in, I look at Bella and see her eyes widen in fear and look at him with an almost...betrayed? Look

"... you're still friends?" Her voice sounds worried as her eyes hold hurt, he looks at her and rises his shoulders with an air of nonchalance as a sly grin makes its way across his face

"More or less. She asked me to get the lay of the land with the Cullens. Because, well... I'm afraid Victoria is quite...put out with you." His voice is condescending and holds an unsaid threat, I notice Bella trembling but she's trying to put on a brave face, good keep control of your nerves.

"That's... too bad." 

And there's the internal face palm, God Bella great job - please note the sarcasm  

"Yes. She feels it's only fair to kill Edward's mate, given he killed hers. An eye for an eye, mate for a mate." My fear is briefly taken over by confusion at his words 'mate'? What is he talking about? I decide then and there that if Bella and I make it out of this situation alive, I'll demand her for these answers. Once more I glance towards Bella and see that the fear that once adorned her face has turned into determination as her eyes are focusing on an empty space of the meadow as if she was looking at someone.

Bella's POV

Hearing Laurent's words I feel my heart speed up, just as Edward re-appears before me "threaten him" and I don't have to be told twice 

"Edward will know who did it. He'll come after you - both of you." All I feel is cold heart wrenching fear but I'm trying to mask it with false bravery, although, I clearly failed when I notice the smirk reappear on Laurent's face.

"I don't think he will. After all, how much could you mean to him if he left you here unprotected" He pauses before raising his brow at me "Victoria sent me here for information. She won't be happy about me killing you" his eyes move over to look at Abbie "her on the other hand" there's a pause as he locks his eyes on her "is free game"  

I feel my heart leap "no! Laurent..." I look at him fear evident in my quaking voice

"No, no, no. Don't be upset. I'm doing you a kindness. Victoria plans on killing you slowly, painfully - whereas I'll make it very quick" I see him pause to take a deep breath through his nose, inhaling both of our scents eyes sliding shut before they open once more with a predatory hungry look "and you both smell so... mouth watering." He faces me once more his eyes filled with blood-lust, I look around us trying to find any possible escape, I can't help but feel guilty that I'm the reason Abbie is here and in danger.

I notice Edward looking at me with alarm knowing how this situation is going to end I look at him and breath deeply before whispering to him "Edward. I love you." 

Abigail's POV

I glance to Bella hoping she will be able to calm my racing heart but notice she is looking towards that same empty space as she was before, except this time my ears pick up her voice whispering out "Edward. I love you." Which confused me because he's not here, I look back up with horrified eyes as Laurent flashes from where he was standing originally with Bella to being in front of my face, my body freezes up as I feel his delicate hand wrap around my slim throat before applying slight pressure. I feel my breath get stuck in my throat as he tightens his grip, I try and to remove his hand that's blocking my airways of the much needed oxygen.

I can feel myself becoming breathless and know that what he was saying was true, and that's when it hits me.

This is it. 

I'm going to die.

And join my parents.

All of a sudden the constriction on my neck has disappeared and I fall to the ground gasping for air, rubbing my neck where I'm sure it'll soon bruise, I lift my head to see Laurent's eyes wide with terror and hear him muster out "I... don't believe it." He slowly steps back in fear, causing confusion for both myself and Bella before we realised his attention wasn't on us anymore...but on something that terrified him. 

A vampire. 

Meaning it was probably a threat to us too. 

Great.

Taking a deep breath I follow along with Bella as we turn around to look at what was behind us.

An enormous black wolf skulking out of the darkness of the woods. Its steps slow and calculating as it stalks towards us with a low disturbing growl escaping deep from within its throat, while displaying its sharp teeth glistening with saliva. I feel my eyes widen and my heart speed up, but somehow I know it's Sam, I can just feel it, but I have never seen him like this. Behind him four more wolves soundlessly emerge from the trees, flanking Sam, I felt my mouth drop in amazement, they were the size of a small horse. They all had their own distinct colour, dark silver, chocolate brown, ash and russet brown. 

All their hackles were up, lips curling, with bodies crouched, ready to spring at any second. I looked towards Bella who was frozen with fear as the wolves came towards us, the russet wolf was the closest to her and looked directly at her as if it were trying to communicate with her. My attention snaps away from the wolves as I notice Laurent's body creeping away - then suddenly, almost simultaneously Laurent bolts across the meadow as the wolves spring towards him, in direct line with Bella, my eyes widen in fear. It was as if everything moved in slow motion, I feel myself launch towards her as I watch the wolves leap right over us in pursuit of Laurent.

Their thunderous snarls and snaps cause Bella to shake in her spot and I can honestly say how scared I felt but at the same time I knew we were safe from them, the pack sprint after Laurent, surrounding him before he reaches the treeline, I watch with wide eyes as Laurent swings at the dark silver wolf, Paul, smacking the wolf half-way across the meadow. A gasp escapes my lips as I hear the pained whine, another wolf lunges at him, but he blocks it, kicking it sending the wolf flying into a tree causing it to splinter.

I worry for the guys, but it dissolves when I see the two get back up and lurch back to the pack which have closed in on Laurent, my eyes are pulled away from the scene from the force of Bella dragging me by my hand as she runs towards the the treeline on our side going back to where her truck was parked. She jumps in quickly starting the engine, we're already moving before I have my door even closed, let alone my seat-belt buckled.

Please don't crash.

oOo

Bella's truck comes to a screeching halt when we make it back to her house, I look at her with caution "are you okay?" She doesn't answer me, instead she just rushes out of the car bolting inside her house not caring that her car door isn't closed properly, I quickly follow her in with worried eyes. I see both Charlie and Harry cleaning their fishing gear, Charlie spins around in surprise at our entrance but looks alert once he sees Bella's face.

"Bella? Abigail?" There's a brief pause before he continues "what's wrong?" I go to answer but Bella is already spilling everything 

"They're not giant bears - I - we - saw them. Up in a meadow -"

Charlie's face goes stern as he looks at us "damn it, I told you not to go into the woods! And you dragged Abigail with you, that was reckless Bella" Harry glances to Charlie surprised by his outburst, and truly, so am I, he looks over to us 

"What did you see, Bella?" Harry's eyes are caring and gentle, aged with knowledge 

"Wolves. They're wolves, Dad." Bella's voice wavers in fear as she talks, I subtly look to Harry who shakes his head lightly and sighs - we know what's going on. Bella looks at both men continuing "five of them. The size of - of cars. I swear. They went after...something....and we ran" Charlie nods his head while grabbing his phone, dialing a number

"Harry, can you get some men from the rez?"

Harry lifts his head to look at Charlie, our eyes briefly met "sure. Yeah. I'll just..." his voice was more concerned rather than excited to go hunting, he slips out of the house as Charlie speaks into the phone

"Jerry? Put a hunting party together - tranq guns, large caliber shotguns - there's something dangerous out there" I listen to him and can't help but feel worried for the pack; I want to warn them. I look to Bella who's eyes are darting around the house, filled with worry, Charlie's voice interrupts "I've gotta go to the station"

"Good! - That's good" I lift my brow at Bella's loud outburst, and it seems Charlie is confused too

"You okay here? You want to come with?" His voice is soft but you can hear the concern clearly in his voice

"Actually, we're going out" I snap my head to Bella with a 'no' look, but she ignores me, bitch, she grabs my arm "let's go"

oOo

We arrived at the little red cottage and I instantly turned to Bella with an accusing face "I knew your 'we're going out' somewhere was a lie" I shake my head in disbelief and click my tongue "ya know, if he's not answering your calls maybe it's for a reason, he has been sick-"

"But Billy said last time when I came to check that he was out with friends, which means he's no longer sick" she lowers her head before glancing at me, almost in a whisper she speaks "you don't understand...I need him" I don't know if it was the desperation in her voice or the lost look in her eyes but I instantly sighed and unbuckled my seat-belt.

"Well?"

We get out of the car and make our short trip up the stairs to wait on the porch, I stand beside Bella as she knocks her clenched fist on the door a few times "you don't have to knock so constantly Bells" I feel irked that she tricked me into coming here, but I get why she did it. I go to say something else but before I can we see Billy wheel his way to the door, upon opening it he looks at us with an even expression

"Bella...Abbie" his voice is cautious, yet he has an understanding glint in his eyes

"I need to see him" the desperation and pleading is evident in her voice, it makes my heart ache for her

"He's not in" Billy's voice is calm but it holds a stern tone, and a lie

I look at Bella "see? He's not home, now can we go-" just as I'm going to finish my sentence I see Bella force her way inside moving around Billy "Bella!" My eyes are wide in shock at what she had just done

"I'm sorry, I really need to see him"

"Bella" Billy's voice calls out to her in warning, but she continues on, I look apologetically at Billy before following her

Bella grips the handle of his room before forcing the door open, we're greeted by the sight of a sleeping Jake, he looks peaceful and that's why I gently grip Bella's arm "let him sleep" I feel her relax and she seems to contemplate leaving with me, until she looks out the window. There we saw Sam and the boys walking towards the house from the woods, damn it. I feel Bella tense and she turns around pushing me aside as she storms outside and down the side of the house to the pack. I shake my head before running after her.

By the time I'm near her she's already yelling at Sam "what did you do?" There was a slight pause which allowed me to get to her side I look at her with concerned eyes, she needed to get back from the boys. 

"What did you do?!" 

My eyes widen in terror as Bella shoves Sam hard in the chest making him stumble back, causing the others to become alarmed, while Paul's eyes narrow in disdain and warning at Bella.

"Hey!" I hear Jared exclaim as he steps forward before Paul shoves past him to look at Bella

"Watch it" his voice is gruff as he snarls the words full of threat, I can see his form is beginning to shake which causes me to step back, I notice from the corner of my eye that Embry steps towards me in a protective stance.

Sam swings his arm out to stop Paul "easy" his voice is strong and commanding, his eyes flick towards me with concern before he looks back to Bella as she continues to yell at him

"What did you do to him? He didn't want this" her voice grew soft as she spoke of Jake showing the care and concern that she has for him, I stay close to her, ready to pull her back if need be - I keep watch on the others, mainly Paul as his body was still shaking as he got closer to us.

"What did we do? What did he do? What did he tell you?" Paul's voice rises as he fires the questions, his face was close to us and I stepped back pulling Bella with me, I see his eyes flash with hurt that I moved away but it instantly left as Bella glared at him.

Sam glares at both Bella and Paul, holding the latter one back as his voice boomed "both of you calm down" my heart is beating erratically, why did Bella have to get me into this mess with her? I look at her with pleading eyes

"Please lets just leave" my voice is soft to her but you could hear I was begging her, she pushed me aside as she continued to argue with Sam and Paul, I was frustrated with how she was handling this.

Her voice full with desperation and exasperation "nothing! He tells me nothing because he's scared of you" her brows furrow as she watches the boys with a look of confusion as they begin to laugh at her statement. Her eyes narrow in annoyance at them, swinging her arm back her open palm connects with Paul's face, my eyes widen in shock and fear, instinctively I grab Bella's arm. Paul's laughter comes to stop as he begins to snarl at us while his body shakes uncontrollably

I hear Jared snicker "too late now"

"Bella! Move" I grab a hold of her but she's frozen watching Paul's body contort in inhuman ways, but it's Sam's face full of alarm and his commanding voice that finally gets Bella to move away

"Bella get back" he looks at me then turns around with his arm out "Paul! Calm down now", but it's too late, Paul's form is blurring before he leaps into the sky with his clothes shredded as he transforms into a grey wolf, snarling and snapping his jaws at us. Bella's eyes widen in fear at the sight and I feel shaken, yes I know of the boys but I hadn't seen them transform nor be this angry. I hear pounding footsteps behind me and see Jake come barreling from the backdoor with worry etched into his face

"Bella!" This snaps Bella out of her fear and in her rush she knocked me to the ground as she goes bolting towards him at full speed with wide eyes, I feel the rough ground scratch at my arms and legs, hissing in pain I look up and see that Embry was rushing over towards me. Worry evident on his face, but I pay no mind to this caring gesture as all I can hear are Bella's screams

"RUN! JAKE RUN!"

However, Jake does the complete opposite of what she screams, instead he rushes towards her before launching himself into the air, leaping over her body causing her to dive to the ground, before looking up at the sound of tearing fabric to see that a russet wolf was now in place of Jacob. Standing protectively in front of her facing off to Paul who had continued to snap his jowls at us with a menacing growl.

Jake bares his canines as his hackles rise releasing a thunderous snarl before launching himself onto Paul's wolf, their fight was aggressive, mouths snapping onto one another as their paws clawed at any exposed fur. Their wolves go tumbling to the ground rolling across the grass as they continue to scratch, stopping briefly as their bodies slam into and break through an upturned wooden boat. Their still for a moment, before gravity takes control and they continue rolling down the slope into the forested area. 

I look to where Bella is sat, breathing heavily as we watch the two wolves disappear, Sam's voice snaps me away "take Bella back to Emily's" I perk up hearing her name, Jared and Embry come jogging over, I feel a warmth surround me as Embry holds a hand out to me giving me a smile, helping me up. I hear him chuckle 

"Guess the wolves outta the bag" I slap his bicep with the back of my hand 

"That was so bad" 

But I can't help the light laughter that escapes my lips.
