Twelve years have gone by since Paul and Bella walked away from La Push and reached for success. When they unexpectedly run into each other, the pack suddenly comes trickling back into their lives. Time changes people but can it change traditions? AU/OOC

OLD VERSION. PLEASE CHECK MY PROFILE FOR THE REWRITE. Bella rushes to Volterra to save Edward, only to discover that the Cullens have been keeping secrets. She then learns the real reasons the Volturi have little-to-no tolerance for "vegetarian" vampires. And has to make a choice. Diverges from canon at the end of New Moon. Very AU. No non-canon pairings. Rated for violence mostly.

Vampires don't exist...or do they? Bella's secret knowledge of vampires is inadvertently brought to surface when she & her friends are all thrown in the path of fate.

Five years after the events in New Moon, the Cullens are living in New Hampshire and Edward is finally getting married. During a wild night out on the town, some of the Cullens run into a happy, more confident Bella who only has eyes for our favorite Major.

Bella and Jasper can't get along. Their mutual best friends are tired of the constant fighting. What happens when they trick them into a vacation where they have to rely on each other for fun? B/J, E/R, Em/A.
