Bella and I were at the Cullen house. Watching the news with them. I was sitting next to Jasper and Bella was next to me and Edward was doing what Edward does best pacing.

"Seattle is in a state of terrorr..." The reporter said

The tv showed a female reporter.

"...Police are baffled by the escalating murders and disappearances." the reporter said

I look over at Jasper then up at Carlisle who watch the TV with concern. Emmett is draped over a arm chair.

Theories range from a vicious new gang to wildly active serial killer..." the reporter said

"Oh Bella and Anna do you guys need something for those flea bites?" Emmett asked

"I'm good, thanks." Bella and I said together

"Seattle?" Edward says nodding towards the tv

"It's getting worse. We're going to have to do something." Carlsie said

"Alice still hasn't had any visions about who's doing this." Edward said

"I told you who was doing it." I said

"So we track him down and kick his bloodthirsty ass. Let's go now. I'm bored as hell." Emmett said

"Emmett." Rosalie yells from upstairs

"She's such a pessimist." Emmett said

Edward abruptly looks at Jasper, reading his mind beat--

"I didn't think of that. But...yes, it makes sense." Edward said

"Guys." Bella said

"Not all of us can read minds so let the family in on your conversation." I said

"Tell us, Jasper." Carlisle said

As Jasper speaks, Bela is surprised me not so much.

"It takes more than one of our kind to cause the damage they're reporting. Quite a few more. They're undisciplined. Conspicuous --" Jasper said

"Newborns." Edward said

"Like...new vampires?" Bella asked

"In their first months after the change." Edward said

"That's when we're at our most vicious, uncontrollable, insane with thirst--" Jasper said

"Something to look forward to." Emmett says

I see Bella face go a little pale I look over to her.

"It won't happen to Bella, because I am here and you share by blood so the venom will take to you different." I said

She nodded her head, and out of the corner of my eye I saw Edward relax a little.

"No one trained these newborns, but this isn't random..." Edward said

"...Someone's creating an army." Carlisle said

Jasper nods. Emmett rises, enthusiastic.

"Oh, now we definitely gotta go." Emmett said

"Wait, an army? Of vampires?" Bella asked

"There haven't been any newborn armies in over a century that I know of." Carlisle said

I grabbed Jasper's hand and gave it a reassuring squeeze.

"There is now. And they've been created to fight someone." Jasper said

"We're the only clan even close to Seattle." Edward said

"Regardless, if we don't put a stop to it, the Volturi will. I'm surprised they've let it go on this long." Carlisle said
