TRAINING

The party lasted another hour or so, but I didn't bother to stay up for it. After Jacob left, I went straight up to my room. I barely spent any time with my friends, but they wouldn't have wanted me around right now, anyways.

Alice followed me upstairs and helped me get ready for bed.

"Everything will be fine, you know," she assured me.

"Don't tell me everything's going to be fine when you can't see any of our futures anymore," I snapped. I might have been able to hold it together when Jacob was here, and when Bella was watching, but now that my boyfriend was involved, I was about to lose it.

"Dani," Alice said, concerned. She didn't know I was feeling upset. "I may not be able to see your futures, but everyone is confident now. It will be easy with their help, you know that. No one is in any danger anymore. We're all working together, just like you wanted," Alice smiled, rubbing my back.

"I guess you're right. I'm still going, though," I told her. She rolled her eyes.

"Does Jake know?" She asked me.

"I told him I was, but I think he's hoping I'll fall asleep and forget about it all."

"You should fall asleep and forget about it all," Alice laughed. "But you're too stubborn for that, aren't you little sister?"

"You know it," I smiled back at her and crawled into bed. "Thanks for the party, Alice, I'm sorry I pissed you off by inviting Jake."

She took a deep breath. "Honestly, it took me by surprise, but I'm glad you did," she smiled.

"Good night," I told her, rolling over.

"Good night, hun," she patted me once and then flitted back downstairs.

My alarm woke me up around 2:30 AM. It was not natural for someone to be up this early. I could hear people whispering outside my door, but no one had entered the room yet.

"If you have something to say, just come in and say it," I mumbled, trying to find the will to get out of bed. Jacob is waiting for you, I tried to tell myself.

"Good morning, sweetheart," Dad entered the room, followed by mom.

"It's hardly morning," I cringed, looking at the clock again. They weren't wrong, but it technically was the middle of the night for the human breed.

"Are you sure you want to come?" Mom asked, looking at me, then at Dad.

"Absolutely. Bella's going too. We have to be the liaisons for the human population involved."

"There are no humans in danger, dear," Dad squinted, unsure of what I was saying.

"Bella and I are. The loves of our lives are fighting each other. We have to chaperone."

"Edward and Jacob would never do that to the two of you, I'm sure," Mom tried to convince me.

"He wouldn't dare," I growled. "Either way, I'm going. I want to see Jasper kick Emmett's ass!" I joked a little louder. I heard some fighting happening downstairs, no doubt a reaction to my comment. I would get hell for that later.

"Language, love," Dad chastised, but helped me sit up and get out of bed. "There will be rules, nonetheless. We can't have you getting hurt and caught up in all of this, hm?"

"I know," I rolled my eyes. I wasn't changing before going. Then, it hit me. "How am I getting there?" I asked hesitantly, knowing the answer.

"You'll have to piggy back with me. I'll go slowly, I promise," Dad said.
