JACOB IS DRIVING BELLA HOME WHILST I STAND OPPOSITE THE PACK WITH MY ARMS FOLDED. "We need to come up with some sort of agreement." I say to Sam who nods. "Now that Victoria is coming back for us. Bella needs protection." I say to them and Paul snorts.
"Are you doubting your abilities?" He teases and I shake my head. "No, she just needs more protection than I can give her." I look back to the Alpha. "What do you suppose we do?" He asks me and I click my tongue. "When Victoria comes back, I need to be allowed onto your land." I tell them and they all look at me.
"Because I need to kill her myself, to make sure that there is no way that she can come back." I don't want to kill her, but she's not just after me, she's after Bella. Sam nods his head. "And what about the Treaty? What do you think needs to change?" Sam asks me. "I respect the treaty. And I won't come on your land unless I'm invited, or I'm forced to." Sam nods along.
"But, if I'm in the woods, and I see or hear any of you going to hurt a human, I will step in and stop you." Sam lets out a sigh before nodding. "That is understandable." He tells me. "You don't seem like a vampire. You're not like the others." Quill says to me. "You seem more... human." He tells me.
"I think that might be why we're all so comfortable around you." Embry finishes off Quill's words. "I'll talk to the elders. But I think that we can come to an agreement and a possible change in the Treaty. But for now, the treaty stays the same unless Victoria returns and you must go on our land." I nod and Sam holds out his hand.
I shake it before turning to the pack. "I'll see you guys soon." I give them a wave and leave Emily's house.

Bella sits on her bed, staring at her hands. I speed into the room through the window. Accidentally, I read her mind. I know where I have to go, what I have to do to see him again. "Bella, it's midnight, what are you doing still up?" My voice is soft and she turns to look at me. Her recent thoughts make me question if she's truly alright.
"I had to make sure you were okay." She says and moves from the bed. I shut her bedroom window. "Are you okay?" I nod my head and smile at her.
"I'm fine, but you need to sleep." Bella sighs slightly. "Not yet." I frown at her. "You're officially eighteen." Bella says to me with a slight smile. "I'm frozen at seventeen." Bella rolls her eyes. "I don't know if you want this, you can throw it out if you want, it's not my main gift. I just thought you should have it." She reaches into her bedside table drawer and pulls out a photo.
Bella looks at it, sorrowfully, and licks her lips before passing it to me. It's the photo we took at her birthday party. I'm smiling brightly at the camera whilst Jasper looks down at me softly with his arm wrapped around my waist. I can feel the ghost of his touch linger on my skin as I stare at the photo.
