Tony pulled up in the Swan's drive, the damp area of Forks never changing. Bella's red truck was gone, something that Tony didn't put too many worries into, as the cruiser was still out the front alongside Harry's ute.

Knocking on the door, Charlie happily opened it and gave Tony a clap around the shoulder before ushering him inside. 

"Tony," Harry smiled, decked out in fishing gear. 

"Been a while," Tony grinned back, happy to see some familiar faces. 

The three men continued on, the idle chatter about fishing flowed onto sport, then onto the matters with those dangerous animals in the woods that Harry and Tony didn't share a glance at.

The hour ticked away, Tony feeling more at ease the more they talked before the sound of the truck pulling up caught their attention. Harry went and gathered his things, getting ready to help Charlie pack the truck whereas Charlie went to say goodbye to Bella. Those plans got put on hold when Bella stormed in with a pale face and a shake of her hands. Tony was immediately on edge, eyes wide and his phone flicked out to see if he'd gotten any texts from the pack. 

"They're not bears," Bella spluttered, "I saw them in the meadow." 

"Damnit Bella, I told you not to go into the woods," Charlie scolded, worry evident in his brow.

"What did you see Bella?" Harry asked, gaining Tony's attention - surely they didn't -

"Wolves. They're wolves Dad," Bella looked at Charlie with desperate eyes.

Harry and Tony hold back a sigh each, Tony's jaw tight in irritation at having to likely lie his ass off again. 

Suddenly a whole commotion of a hunting party starts up, Tony's lips thin as Charlie asks Harry to get some men from the res. Harry goes to make a call outside, Tony offering to carry things into the car at the change of plans. 

As the two got outside they finally release the sighs of frustration they were holding. 

"Damnit," Tony groaned, "What the hell happened?" 

"I'll call them up," Harry quietly responded, the pair packing things away as they got a hold of a pack member.

Throughout the conversation, Tony realised something with a jolt.

"Wait there's a fucking vampire after Bella?!" Tony seethed, mind flashing to something Carlisle had said about Bella being almost turned by a pair of nomads before they killed one.

"It's revenge on the Cullens," Tony hissed, Harry, repeating it over the phone before going back to figuring out how to save the boys.

Tony headed back inside where Charlie had his gun out and the teacher's blood run cold at the thought of a bullet being put in Sam. Cold sweat clung to his neck that he played off when the Chief actually offered him to come with the hunting party.
