"Are you coming to Alice's party?" Bella asked.

"Of course she is!" Echo turned her head to see Alice standing there with a kind smile.

"Well, I have to drop dad off first, and change out of these god awful clothes." Echo told the pixie-like girl.

"No, you have to wear the dress! I won't let you in if you don't." Echo cocked an eyebrow and shared a look with her sister who was smiling in amusement. Bella shrugged her shoulders.

"You heard her."

"You're enjoying this oh so much, aren't you?" Echo asked, narrowing her eyes at her sister who nodded her head. She looked between the two before sighing. "Fine. I'll wear the stupid dress."

"Yay! I'll see you in a minute, Echo." Alice skipped away and Echo placed her head on the door with a groan.

"You hate me." Echo sighed dramatically. "You want to see me suffer."

"I'll see you in a minute, E." Bella laughed. Echo huffed before walking away from the truck and entering her car.

Echo pulled up to the Cullen household, grimacing at the loud noises of teenagers. She entered the home and looked around until she found Bella who was standing with Jessica.

"What did you think of my speech? Too easy breezy, too self helpful, you hated it?"

"No, I think you pretty much nailed it." Bella nodded.

"Yeah, it's like I was born to lead right?" Jessica asked. Echo made her presence known and Jessica smiled up at the woman in awe.

"Is this your sister?" Jessica asked, looking at Bella who nodded her head. Jessica looked back at Echo with a wide smile. "Oh my god, hi! I'm Jessica. You're really pretty."

Echo smiled in amusement, "Thank you, Jessica."

"What are you doing here?" Bella asked. Echo opened her mouth to say something but paused when she realized Bella wasn't talking to her.

"You invited me, remember?" Jacob responded.

"Was my right hook too subtle for you. That was me uninviting you." Bella bit back. Echo sighed before quickly turning and leaving. She passed Alice going up the steps, sending the girl a small smile. Echo found Carlisle and let out a groan.

"You look beautiful." Carlisle complemented as Echo walked over to him.

"Well, cherish it while it lasts because I will never be wearing a dress again. No matter how much Bella begs and pleads." Echo grumbled. Carlisle chuckled at her actions and she looked up at him with small smile. He gave her a quick kiss before wrapping his arms around her waist.

"Do you have any red wine?" Echo asked.

"Because I knew you would ask, I bought you some the other day."' Echo's face brightened and he led her over to where the said drink was. He poured her a glass and she thanked him before taking a sip and smiling in delight. Echo sat down on the couch just as Alice and Bella, as well as the other Cullen's, entered the room.

"Alice, what did you see?" Bella asked, taking a seat beside of Echo. Carlisle sat on the arm of the couch, a hand placed on Echo's shoulder.

"A decision has been made." Alice answered.

"What's going on?" The voice of Jacob Black entered the room and Echo let out a sigh. He and two others joined in on the conversation.

"They're not going to Seattle." Bella answered the wolf.

"No, they're coming here."

"Guess I'm not going to Seattle anymore." Echo mumbled, taking a sip of her drink.

"This could turn into a blood bath." Carlisle spoke causing Echo to turn her head to look at him.

"Who's behind it." Edward asked.

"I didn't see anyone I recognized. Maybe one." Alice stated.

"I know his face. He's local, Riley Biers. He didn't start this." Edward shook his head.

"Either way, the army is coming and there aren't enough of us to protect the town." Jasper told them.

"Hold up, what damn army?" Jacob asked. Echo rolled her eyes.

"Don't you watch the news?" Echo asked. The boy glared at her and she sent him a sweet smile.

"Newborns, our kind." Carlisle answered the boys question.

"They're after Bella? What the hell does this mean?"

"Not just Bella. Echo too." Alice answered.

"Well that's fucking fantastic." Echo grumbled.

"It means an ugly fight, with lives lost." Carlisle once again answered the boys question. Echo tensed at the words that fell from his mouth. Carlisle squeezed her shoulder in reassurance.

"All right. We're in." Jacob nodded.

"No, you'd get yourselves killed. No way." Bella shook her head.

"I wasn't asking for permission." Jacob told the girl.

"Edward?" Bella turned to him, asking for him to back her up.

"It means more protection for you and your sister." Edward answered.

"Jacob, do you believe Sam would agree to an understanding?" Carlisle asked.

"As long as we get to kill some vampires." Jacob mumbled.

"I can talk Sam into it." Echo spoke up. "He'll do it if it means more protection for me."

"Jasper?" Carlisle asked.

"It'll give us the numbers. Newborns won't even know they exist. It'll give us an edge." Jasper answered.

"Jake, you don't know what you're getting yourself into." Bella quickly said, standing up and looking at the boy. Jacob turned toward her, stopping in his tracks.

"Bella, this is what we do. You should be happy, look at us, we're working together. You are the one who wanted us to get along, remember?" And with that, he left.
