The Twilight Saga: Dangerous Love

Chapter seven: Protection

Bella Swan

"Stop!" Alice calls.

Everyone soon speeds over to me.

"They were leaving then they heard us." Alice says.

"Let's go." Edward says, pulling me along.

"It's too late." Carlisle says, making Edward pause.

"Get your hair down." He tells me.

"Like that'll help. I can smell her from across the field." Rosalie says.

"Rose!" Anna says, making Rose walk away.

"I shouldn't have brought you here, I'm so sorry." Edward says.

"What?" I ask.

"Just be quiet and stand behind me and Edward." Anna says to me.

I nod and then stay behind her and Edward three other vampires come up.

"I believe this belongs to you." the dark skinned one says, holding up the baseball, before tossing it to Carlisle, whom caught it perfectly.

"Thank you." Carlisle says.

"I am Laurent, and this is Victoria... and James." Laurent says.

"I'm Carlisle. This is my family." Carlisle says.

"Hello." Laurent says.

"I'm afraid your hunting activities have caused a little bit of a mess for us." Carlilse says.

"Our apologies. We had no idea the territory had been claimed." Laurent says.

"Yes, well. We maintain a permanent residence nearby." Carlilse says.

"Really?... Well, we won't be a problem anymore. We were just passing through." Laurent says.

"The humans were tracking us but we lead them east. You should be safe." Victoria says.

"Excellent." Carlisle says.

"So... could you use three more players?" Laurent asks.

Everyone was hesitant.

"Oh come on... just one game." Laurent says.

"Sure. A few of us were leaving. You could take their place. We'll bat first." Carlisle says before tossing the ball.

Victoria catches it.

"I'm the one with the wicked curve ball." Victoria says.

"Oh, well I think we can handle that." Jasper says.

"Oooooh." Laurent says.

"We shall see." Victoria says as she and Laurent high five.

James and Edward had a stare down as the Cullens got into position. Anna gives me a small smile then goes to Rosalie. Edward and I turn to leave when the wind blew and then...

"You brought a snack." James says, coming towards me.

Edward puts me behind him, growling and hissing at James.

Then, all of the Cullens were growling at the other three vampires.

Annabelle was in between Carlisle and Edward. Esme kept me behind her.

"A human?" Laurent asks as the vampires all face off.

"The girl is with us... I think it'd be best if you leave." Carlisle says.
