Coping with grief is hard enough without having heightened emotions. Still, life can't be even that simple. There's an army coming, and the threat of Jay losing more than she already has is very real.
She can't run away to a new town now; she's goin...

Jay's standing in the woods with Stefan, Damon, and the Cullens, looking around at their darkening surroundings. Alice had a vision at lunch after they were talking about the party that she's going to throw, and she saw the vampire that wants to kill Bella.
"What's this chick look like again?" Damon asks, and Jay grinds her teeth as his brother looks over at him.
"Shut up, Damon." Stefan tells him, all of them knowing full-well that he hasn't forgotten any of what Alice told them.
"This is the woman who sent the guy with the dreads that tried to kill me?" Jay's voice is quiet as she looks up at Emmett, and he nods.
"Victoria."
"And she wants to kill Bella because you, Jasper, and Alice killed her boyfriend?"
"She seems to think that it was Edward who did it." He explains, and she nods.
"Are you sure this is where you saw her?" Carlisle asks as he looks over at his daughter.
"She's almost here." Alice tells them, and they all continue to look around the thick covering of trees. "On your left!" She says, and everyone turns.
Jay and Emmett are leading the group as they all race through the woods; they were standing on the far left. She sees a flash of bright red hair, and tries to push her legs to carry her faster as she chases after her. She reaches out and manages to grab the red-haired woman, but then she flips them before flinging the little brunette into Emmett.
He grunts as they fly back and hit a tree before landing on the ground, and another pained noise escapes Emmett after he lands on the teenager. She feels something warm on her side and looks down to find thick, red blood coating her sweater as he rolls to the side.
"Sorry." She barely mutters as she reaches over and pulls the small piece of branch out of his side. "Come on, let's go."
They're both back on their feet and gaining on the others as quickly as they possibly can. They all then skid to stop on the edge of a cliff, and Carlisle throws his hand back to make them stay in their places as they look at the redhead on the other side of the river.
"Wait. She's in their territory." He tells them.
"My territory." Jay backs up, along with both Salvatores, and the three of them jump over the running water and land easily on the other side.
"She'll get away!" Esme yells when she sees the gap between Victoria and the others, but then Jasper sees the wolves running up behind them.
"No, she won't!" He picks up his own speed, anticipating that she'll have to cross again to get away from the pack.
