  I can't believe we been fighting fire's three summers now. Edward and I are in our third year now and we love it. We are very good at what we do even though I still don't talk, they learn to listen to me. It's great.They Always try to get us as a team. Edward still single so am I. We still never had that talk either. But I knew he was hiding something from me. But I was to, how I truly felt about him.

 We took a trip in the mountains just me and Edward. We may have gone to a different state.
But damn it we deserve it. We been working hard. We still been living with his parents saving money. We want to move to where we would benefit with the hot shot team and fires.

 It would be a different state but we would be on call year round. You're probably wondering where we went camping. Were in Yosemite national park.  We are also checking out land in the woods to build a log cabin. But my true dream is to have a place up north by my uncle Leo and Aunt Beth. I drew up plans but hid them. Well at least I thought I did.

   Sometimes I wish I could talk but all I get out is nothing. I want to tell Edward with my own words how I feel about him. I was looking at the computer at the radar and I been watching this storm growing in Washington state. The report says they been really dry I been getting a bad feeling about it. It's time I get Edward attention on it. I text him a message.

From Bella: Edward I need you to look at this.

 I look over at Edward, he sitting by the fire. He looks at his phone, then looks over to me. I motion for him to come here. He gets up and walks over and looks at the screen. "What about it Bella?"

From Bella: I got a bad feeling about it. It's been so dry in Washington state. Watch when I put the radar in motion.

Edward looks at his phone. Then nods. I click on it. He watches it closely.

"Alright, I see what you mean what do you want me to do?" I typed on the phone.

From Bella: CALL THEM NOW! I got the number.

 He looks at the phone. "Bella I can't just call them just out of the blue." I just look at him with a serious face. I made the call sign with my hand and pointed to him. "Bella, what am I supposed to say, come you really do you think they're going to believe me?"

I got up in frustration and threw my hands up. I opened my mouth to try scream to say something and nothing came out. God I hate this if only I could talk I do it myself. I walked up to the truck and just punched it. It didn't hurt either. "BELLA, stop!" He made me turn and look at him. I signed to him again. I tried to express on my face just try that this was important. "Alright I will call them it won't hurt. You have never been wrong before." He walked over to my laptop where he knew I have the number. I walked over and sat back at the picnic table watching Edward pace while he talked on the phone.

   After about a half an hour of him being on the phone he finally gets off and comes and sits next to me. The look on his face was shock. I gently nudge him to get his attention. He turns and looks at me. "Umm, well it turns out they been watching it too. But the weird thing is they heard of you and me as a team as sort.

 "Bella you're not going to believe this but, they want to know if we want to come up and lead a team. We be in charge of a team Bella." My eyes grew big. I picked up my phone.

From Bella: How the hell am I supposed to be in charge of a crew when I can't talk?"

 Edward looks at his phone. Then looks at me. "Sign of course, I'll down load a notepad on your phone. But I know you can do it. Remember our first fire?" I nod. "Remember how you saved the lady and her child?" I thought back to that day and I didn't have no phone. All I did was sign and made her focus and listen. I nodded and smile. "Well that's how I know you can do this we're a team right?"

 I nodded my head yes. "So we do this?" I nodded my head yes with a smile. We packed up the campsite, they wanted us soon as possible. So we drove up since we had my ford truck. I didn't want to leave it at an airport with our camp gear in it. Once we got there we met with the head ranger. Then they put us up in a cabin.

  Edward called home and let them know what was going on. It was a waiting game now.
We met with the ranger once a day just a check in. My job was to keep an eye on the storm coming. I was standing on the balcony outside the cabin. Edward brought me a cup of coffee. He wrapped his arm around my shoulder.

 All of sudden I dropped my coffee cup. I noticed a temperature drop really quick and the wind shifted. I looked up at the top trees but couldn't see nothing. I went to the other side of the balcony where it was more open and that's when I felt the electricity in the air. I started to slap the railing to get Edward attention. He walked over to me.  "What is it Bella?" I stood him still I took my hands and motion for him to close his eyes.

  "I feel it!" But as  soon as he said it, I turned and when I did a lighting strike hit and you could see sparks fly when it hit. It made me jump. Then there was another one. I turned and ran into the cabin and changed my clothes and then grabbed my keys to my truck. I felt Edward grab my arm. "Are you sure?" I looked deep into his eyes. "Alright but I'm driving." I shook my head no and got out of his hold and jumped into the driver seat.

  Edward jumped into the passenger. "You're so damn stubborn Bella." I giggled then squealed the tires and took off to the forest service office. I jumped out of the truck when we got there and ran inside.  I'm glad you're here. I heard you already know Rich. We our going to have 3 crews and you 3 are leading them. Bella before you fight me on this. Here this is for you. It set up to type your messages like you're talking to there walkies so you can stay in contact at all times."

 I couldn't believe this. I mean this was good. But I really never did this without Edward.
We waited for the rest of the crew to get here before we headed out. Phillips the head ranger came out before we left. "Bella you were right on this. The fire is bad up there. I do not know how you knew but you did. It spreading fast. We have to call in more crews.

 You and Edward might want to think about about putting together a permanent team and set up a permanent base where you guys can leave from. Now this is your guys call do you wait for the others or do you head up and help and try to battle it?" I turn and look at Rich and Edward. They walk up to me. "Bella I only knew you from fighting with you on the fires but if I learned anything this is something you were born to do and I follow you up to help fight this fire. Plus I join your and Edward crew any day." I smiled.

 "Bella Rich is right, we need to at least make an effort and start to battle this fire. What you say?" I typed into the thing that Phillip's gave me and it sounded like I spoke and it made me jump. "Let's go battle this monster!" My eyes went wide when I heard it. They laughed. "Bella I couldn't of said it better, so mount up people we got a fire to put out." Rich said.
"Meet you guys up there." Edward said. We all took off.
