~Bella's POV~

It's surprisingly warm for Boxing Day in Forks when Edward pulls up in the woods near their house.  The rest of the Cullens are already there.

Within seconds of us being there, the pack show up and I'm surprised to see Bam with them so I look at Edward.

"Tell you later."

I nod.

"They don't trust us enough to be in their human form," Edward informs us.

"They came," Carlisle says.  "That's what matters.  Will you translate?"

Bam smiles at me.

"Hey, Bam."

Edward moves towards the wolves while Alice stands next to me.

"Welcome," Carlisle says.  "Jasper has experience with newborns.  He'll teach us how to defeat them."

Sam looks at Edward.

"They wanna know how the newborns differ from us," Edward says.

"They're a great deal stronger than us because their own human blood lingers in their tissues.  Our kind is never more physically powerful than in our first several months of this life."

He turns to Jasper who steps up.

"Carlisle's right.  That's why they are created.  A newborn army doesn't need thousands like a human army, and no human army could stand against them.  Now, the two most important things to remember are, first, never let them get their arms around you.  They'll crush you instantly.  And second, never go for the obvious kill.  They'll be expecting that and you will lose."

He turns to his family.

"Emmett!"

Emmett gets into position.

"Don't hold back," Jasper grins.

"Not in my nature," Emmett smirks.

Emmett charges and the two brothers fight until Jasper gets Emmett down.

"Never lose focus," he smirks.

Edward and Carlisle fight next and when Edward gets Carlisle down, Jasper strolls past him

"One more thing..." Jasper grins and Edward looks at his brother, giving Carlisle the opportunity to get Edward down.

"Never turn your back on your enemy," Jasper continues, making an 'idiot' face at Edward.  Me and Bam laugh.

They continue fighting while we watch and it's cute the way Jasper and Alice are when they fight, which ends with her giving him a kiss.

Jake comes up beside me.

"Some of you are gonna get hurt," I say.  "Some of you could get killed because of me."

He looks at me.

"It's gonna be 100 times worse than this, right?"

He puts his head down and I stroke the top of it.

Edward comes over so Bam jumps onto Jake's back and the two of them walk away.

"Done for the day," Edward says.

I watch as Jake walks into the forest with Bam on his back then Edward leads me back to the Jeep.

I sit on the bonnet and wait while they have a family discussion.  Jasper approaches.

"Jasper?"

He turns.

"Are you sure there's nothing I can do to help?"
