Aella Theos sat on Jared's lap, laughing as Paul told his weirdest hookup story. Jared's arms were securely wrapped around her waist, keeping her pushed against his chest.

"So, she cried afterwards?"

Paul nodded. "And cried again when I got up to use the bathroom. And when I got dressed. And when I left."

The pack laughed harder, Aella crying and losing her breath from laughing so hard. "You sure do know how to pick them, Pauly."

Paul rolled his eyes. "She was cute, okay? I just made a move!"

Aella caught her breath, wiping away the tears and tried to distract herself from thinking of the story. She looked around, raising an eyebrow at the empty seat. "Where's Jake?"

"He went to Forks. Apparently Bella was out of town over the weekend with Edward and Jake thinks it was to change her." Embry explained, grabbing a chicken leg.

"Also, Sam sent him to remind the Cullen's of the treaty. You know, since Emmett jumped over." Quil added.

"Jake's so dense sometimes. She was out of town visiting her mom. Edward wanted her away from the chase and she made him go with her since she didn't know that it would happen."

The sound of Jacob's bike approaching caused the pack to jump up, Jared patting Aella's thigh so she would stand. She did what he wanted, Jared following after the pack and jumping outside, a chicken leg in his hand.

Aella rolled her eyes, not eager to go see Bella. The more time she spent around the Cullen's and Bella, the more she realized how whiny and ignorant Bella was. Bella took her own life for granted and was rather ungrateful for what she had. It annoyed Aella and she preferred to avoid the brunette. She couldn't understand the pack's eagerness to see the girl at all.

Aella sighed as she walked outside, turning to face Leah, who sat on the couch comfortably.

"You coming?"

Leah waved her hand, motioning for Aella to go ahead. Aella continued, standing next to Jared, who grinned down at her. The boys were all laughing, teasing Jacob.

"Hey Aella."

"Hi Bella, long time no see."

"Yeah, you're always with Rosalie these days."

Aella didn't respond. The laughter died out as Leah stepped outside, everyone falling silent as the girl glared at Bella.

"Bella this Leah Clearwater, Harry's daughter." Jacob introduced the two. Bella shifted awkwardly on her feet, her face falling.

"Hey, I'm sorry about your father."

"If you're here to torture Jacob some more, feel free to leave." Leah snapped before walking off. Aella hid her laugh in Jared's chest, Jared taking a bite of his chicken to hide his smile.

"Fun isn't she?"

"Bella!" Sam and Emily emerged from the house, Emily embracing Bella quickly before rejoining Sam's side.

"Sam, we good?"

Everyone turned to face the alpha, Sam smiling. "We're good. No vampire will be coming on our land anytime soon."

The boys began to cheer, all running off back inside. Jared threw away his chicken bone, not a piece of meat left on it.

Aella draped herself on the couch, turning on the TV and smiling when she saw Titanic playing.

The boys all groaned, all falling silent when Aella gave them a look. "Shut the hell up and let me watch my man."

"Your man?" Paul echoed, looking at Jared in confusion. Jared rolled his eyes, glaring at young Leonardo DiCaprio as he appeared on the screen.

"She has a thing for him. But only for him in the 90s."

"Is that Titanic?" Emily rushed to the couch, sliding next to Aella.

"Em, baby, the food."

Emily waved her hand at Sam. "It'll be fine, you know what to do when the oven goes off."

"Also, can you guys be dears and get us popcorn? Thanks."

The boys shared a look, Embry sighing as he headed to the kitchen to get the popcorn. Quil joined him, Sam sitting at the dining table with Jared and Paul. The pack became as silent as could be, knowing how the two women could get if they were disturbed.

Everyone then jumped as Aella let out a scream, her hands going to her head as she fell back into Emily's lap.

The pack ran to her, Jared pushing Sam back as he held her hand.

"Call Lyra." He commanded Paul, who nodded and ran off.

"Baby, what's wrong?"

Aella squeezed her eyes shut, trying to focus on the dark vision overcoming her.

Her visions caused different things, depending on what they depicted. Near death or a death vision caused goosebumps and chills. Good visions, like someone's birth or marriage, caused a glow in Aella's palms. Darker visions, such as mass murders or wars, caused pain.

Aella opened her eyes again, this time standing in the middle of a meadow. The meadow was familiar to her, the same one where she and Jared had their first kiss. Except in her vision, it was a battlefield. The Cullen's and the wolves worked together around her, all fighting an army of what seemed to be young vampires. She saw herself, pushing its head off of it's body before running up the hill and apparating away.

Then the vision changed and she stood in a campground. Bella stood with blood streaming down her arm as Edward fought Victoria and she and Seth took on another vampire, that seemed vaguely familiar to Aella. Aella watched as she taunted the vampire, shoving her elbow into his head to push him backwards. He growled in anger, jumping forward only for Seth to tackle him.

The vision changed again, Jacob rolling on the forest ground while holding his side, sweat beading on his forehead as he cried out in pain. Everyone was running over to him, ignoring the fact that he was naked.

Aella snapped out of the vision, her eyes opening quickly as she sat up. Everyone watched her in concern, Jared bringing her into his chest.

"What happened, Aella?" The girl turned to Sam, shaking from the shock of the vision.

"Something is coming. Something bad."
