The vision ended there. I decided it was time to have a talk with Laurent. This had to be prevented and now was the best time since he was still nearby. Luckily, he still lived with Tanya, so we could go talk to him. Denali wasn't too far from where we were staying.

We had decided not to stay too close by since our coven was too big to stay inconspicuous with Tanya's growing coven. Our family decided it was time to put our foot down and at least protect her from others since we had had to leave her there. We couldn't let Laurent ruin all our efforts to keep Bella, my Bella, safe.

We arrived at Tanya's home, and were welcomed inside by Tanya. I used the information that she had a thing for me, to easily get us inside to see Laurent without any suspicion. Once we were in, I scanned the thoughts of the room to see how they were taking our arrival.

I can't believe he's here. He's just as amazing looking as he always has been. I wonder if he came to tell me he wants me, too. Tanya's thoughts, of course.

Why does she have to be with the big, beefy idiot. One of the males, no doubt talking about Rosalie.

There was other random thoughts bubbling about the room with the random conversations carrying on.

Then I heard him. Maybe if I'm lucky things will work out with this one. But if I'm gonna make it here, I'll have to hide how much I'm cheating. One last trip down to Washington for some last minute snacks and then I'll stick to their strange diet…maybe, but if it means getting this chick then I'll do it. That did it. I had to talk with him now before I did something irrational, first. If he decided he still wouldn't budge, then I'd have to make him, by force.

I walked over to Laurent, who was standing next to Irina, and greeted him casually. He seemed taken aback to see me there, as he didn't know we had left Forks, or that we were so nearby. I pulled him aside and asked him to have a talk with me and my family outside. He agreed, still confused as to what was going on. His thoughts were filled with confusion and fear, not knowing what we could possibly want with him now that he wasn't with Victoria or James.

We pulled him outside and told him about the vision Alice had had. His thoughts immediately searched for lies to replace the fact that he was definitely heading her way. “You know I can read your mind right? So those lies mean nothing. Just know that if you even try to set foot near her, you will be dealt with, by all of us.” I said coldly. He looked shocked and scared and said, “Okay. I won't go there. I'll try to stick to this diet now instead of later. If I have to cheat, I'll go to Canada instead of Washington.” I gave him an angry look. “You will not cheat. If you even cheat, I will come and deal with you. No innocent lives shall be taken by you, now that you've joined Tanya's coven. And believe me, If you want Irina's attention, you can't cheat. She can find someone else easily that will stick to the rules, so if I were you, I would.” Now that he seemed to understand the terms being given to him, we let him go back into the house and we said our goodbyes to Tanya and the rest of the coven and returned to our home.

I asked Alice to recheck the vision and when she did, Bella was still in the meadow, but Laurent didn't show up. Bella was safe. That was all that mattered to me in that moment. But then I saw something new in the vision. Something that bothered me.

A/N: Okay well I know this has a lot happening, but it all came to me at once and I didn't know how else to do it. I hope it turned out alright. Give reviews so I know how to change it or if it's fine how it is.
