Two days later

Alex's POV

So it's been two days since Isabella travelled to Italy to rescue her vampire boyfriend. Dad wasn't joking when he said she had no place in his old house. On the day she left on her rescue mission Dad furiously walked into the house and packed all her clothes and belongings into a suitcase put it outside the door and changed the locks the next day. 

Dad took himself two weeks off work and hid in my house to avoid a clash with Isabella. He knew he was safe with me because she doesn't know where I live and he won't have to deal with her screaming, crying and tantrums when she sees him. 

Everyone knows Isabella's behaviour so it wasn't surprising them that dad and I wanted to hide from her. I'm sure they'll even help him hide from her. 

On another note, the Cullens are back at Forks and wanted to go back to the original treat but Sam didn't agree and they are to meet tomorrow to set up a new one. 

He asked me to patrol the territory with Jasper and Blue during this time and report any intruders. While I was painting I started humming one of the songs and Jasper started dancing with me:

I used to bite my tongue and hold my breath
Scared to rock the boat and make a mess
So I sat quietly, agreed politely
I guess that I forgot I had a choice
I let you push me past the breaking point
I stood for nothing, so I fell for everything

You held me down, but I got up
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, your hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake your ground
You held me down, but I got up
Get ready cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now

I got the eye of the tiger, the fighter, dancing through the fire
Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
O o o o oh
O o o o o o o o oh
O o o o o o o o oh
You're gonna hear me roar

Now I'm floating like a butterfly
Stinging like a bee I earned my stripes
I went from zero, to my own hero

You held me down, but I got up
Already brushing off the dust
You hear my voice, your hear that sound
Like thunder, gonna shake your ground
You held me down, but I got up
Get ready 'cause I've had enough
I see it all, I see it now

I got the eye of the tiger, the fighter, dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
O o o o oh
O o o o o o o o oh
O o o o o o o o oh
You're gonna hear me roar
O o o o oh
O o o o o o o o oh
O o o o o o o o oh
You're gonna hear me roar

Roar-or, roar-or, roar!

I got the eye of the tiger, the fighter, dancing through the fire
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
Louder, louder than a lion
'Cause I am a champion and you're gonna hear me roar
O o o o oh
O o o o o o o o oh
O o o o o o o o oh
You're gonna hear me roar
O o o o oh
O o o o o o o o oh
O o o o o o o o oh
You're gonna hear me roar

When we finished dancing we collapsed on the sofa together. What many people don't know is that Jasper can dance very well and enjoys doing it in his spare time. 

Since we have known each other I have become his dance partner and we dance together from time to time or when either of us is sad or stressed.

The next day

Sam's POV

When the Cullens came back to Forks they wanted to go back to the original treat but I didn't agree. I knew I had to make some changes after talking to the Elders and they agreed. I made an appointment with them on the treat line at 5.:30pm and hoped everything would go through without a problem. 

It was 15 minutes to the appointment and I headed there with the rest of the guys. I was in human form and the rest in wolf form '' Good evening Sam'' said Carlisle 

''A good evening would be better if we didn't have to clean up your problem. Now to the contract the rules are as in the previous one: You don't enter the Reserve, You can't bite or alter anyone in the Forks and La Push area. These are the ground rules and we are adding another you are to leave the new vampire alone. If I find out that you are annoying them or intruding on them we will end the treat and you will get out of Forks forever or die. 

Yes there is a new vampire here who has been helping us with your problem that you left behind. We have our own treat with them and you don't care what is in it. No, I won't tell you who they are, it's none of your business'' I said 

''One more thing, you have exactly three months to take care of Victoria, if you don't deal with her in three months, you will die'' I added and went towards the house. When we got there Emily, Jasper and Alex were waiting for us preparing dinner. 

We quickly told them about the meeting and Alex and Jasper told their patrol report. We spent the rest of the evening talking and soon Embry and Quil went on patrol. 

I hoped that in short order the Cullens would take care of the problem with Victoria and not give us any more trouble. However, as Alex often says : Hope is the Mother of Fools. We'll see what happens but hopefully things will change for the better.
