"Why don't you talk to me?" Jacob said, glaring down at Alice.

Christina stepped forward with menace in her eyes. "Yeah, you're real good about forcing girls to do what you want, aren't you, mongrel?"

Jacob lowered his glare until he met Christina's green stormy eyes. She stepped closer to him with her fist raised, but instead of meeting a warm face, it met a cool hand. Christina gritted her teeth as Carlisle held her to his chest, and Jasper appeared on the other side of Jacob's arm.

"Let's not make more of a scene," Carlisle whispered gently in his girlfriends ear, making her relax her posture and step back from Jacob and more into Carlisle's embrace.

"I suggest removing your arm," Jasper threaten, making eye contact with Jacob with crazed golden eyes. "Before I do."

Jacob slowly dropped his arm and stepped back from the vampires, as the pack stood together once again.

"The decisions been made," Alice spike up, gaining back the attention to her.

"You're not going to Seattle," Bella said slowly.

Alice shook her head. "No... they're coming here."

With his arms still around Christina, keeping her calm, Carlisle spoke up to the group. "Let's move this discussion to my office." His golden eyes moved around the room where the newly graduated students were partying.

        "How long?" Edward asked as all of the Cullens— and much to Christina and Rosalie's displeasure— along with the wolf pack settled themselves in Carlisle's office.

Christina sat down on Carlisle's window sill next to Bella. She refused to let go of Carlisle's hand that was rested on her thigh, trying to keep her emotions under control. He gently squeezed her thigh as he sensed her anxiety raise higher.

"They'll be here in four days," Alice answered, not pleasing either of the humans in the room.

"This could turn into a blood bath," Carlisle muttered softly. Christina's heart dropped as her grip tighten around his hand.

"Who's behind it?" Edward asked, crossing his arms against his chest.

"I didn't see anyone I recognized." Alice paused as she thought over the vision. "Maybe one..."

"I know his face," Edward nodded. "He's local, Riley Biers."

"He went missing about a year ago," Christina mentioned with a frown. "His parents have been putting up fliers everywhere. My dad brought some home the other day."

"He didn't start this," Edward continued.

Alice sighed. "Whoever did is staying out of the action."

"They must be playing with the blind spots in your visions," Carlisle pointed out.

"Either way," Jasper started, shifting his position from the wall to be the edge of the circle. All eyes turns towards him as he continued, "the army is coming... and there aren't enough of us to protect the town."
