---Rosalie looked back at Jasper and Carlisle and then back over to Esme. "Now we have to work with dogs!" Rosalie knew she was being childish right now, but she was really worried over Emmett and Esme, and Carlisle. Two of them were not fighters but very peaceful vampires, who never would hurt anyone, the other was a light hearted-more into bruit force then planned anything type of guy.
---"Do you want to pratice with me while Jasper works with Carlisle?" Rosalie offered since Emmett and the others had not shown up yet. She wasn't sure when they were coming but wanted to try to help Esme if she could. Maybe it woulds distract her thoughts. "I promise not to rip your shirt."

"Rose," Esme started, but decided to drop the subject about working with werewolves. It would only fire Rosalie up more to continue to talk about it.
As Rosalie mentioned practicing together Esme quickly glanced over to her husband and back to her daughter. Better to start the practice now. "Alright," Esme agreed. She couldn't help but laugh a quiet, simple laugh. "You better not," she said with a smirk, "Alice would kill you."

---Rosalie smiled despite herself. Yes, Alice would not be pleased. "Maybe we should tell Alice the newborns are here after her clothes. She could take them single handedly." Rose made a joke, aimed more at Alice then the events. Still, it was enough to help her mind relax and her to be less angry.
---"Do you want me to be the newborn, and attack you? Or do you want to attack me?" Rosalie offered, wanting to know if Esme wanted to watch Rosa defend, so she could learn. Or if she just wanted to try and see if She could hold Rose off. Being it was Esme, Rose did not plan to let her emotions make her ruin Esme's shirt like she had ruined Jasper's.

Esme chuckled at Rosalie's joke. "You're probably right," Esme replied. Alice was the most fashionable member of their family, Rosalie right after her. Alice picked their clothes, only allowing them to wear them one time, two if they were lucky. Esme wondered absently where Alice was now, she was surprised to not see here here with Jasper.
Esme's mind was brought back down to reality at Rosalie's question. Attack her daughter? Esme's eyes tightened a small amount at the thought. But Esme had to remind herself this would benefit the both of them in the real fight. With a sigh she responded, "I'll attack you."

---Rosalie gave a nod and then took a few steps backward. Becoming very still she waited to see what Esme would do. "If it helps, try to become angry at them. Or think of something that makes you angry. Maybe someone let a wonderful house your once built back up, get run down." Rosalie was teasing her but meant her advice. "Think about that, and when your good and angry, attack me!"

Emmett was completely stoked about the upcoming fight. While sprinting to the clearing, Emmett thought about how many newborns he could take down, he grinned at the thought.
Emmett made it to the clearing and saw that everyone had started training-everyone that made it so far-so he he stood at the edge of the clearing and waited for his turn.

Esme crouched down, trying to get herself into attack mode. She relaxed slightly as Rosalie spoke. "Eh, they can take my house, it'll give me a bigger project," she joked along, though she let her body crouch low in attack as Rosalie's advice helped. She let her mind travel to something that would infuriate her.
Her family being attacked. But most of all Carlisle. Esme pictured Carlisle's face in her mind. She thought about what she would do if anyone harmed him. She lunged quickly at Rosalie.

Carlisle had been about to tell Jasper he would stand and watch, before Rose bowed out. He took a deep breath and lifted Esme's hand to his lips, kissing it before letting it go to walk closer to Jasper. "I would like to practice." Like might have been the wrong word but Carlisle was trying to not dwell on the killing that would come. "Tell me when your ready."
Carlisle moved so he was away from the girls and got into his own position. He hated that this was want his family would have to do. Fight or die. Carlisle wondered if they had killed Victoria, would they have been safe, but he also knew he could not have killed her with out something such as this bring them too it.
"I will be the newborn." Jasper watched Carlisle, making sure he was ready. He heard Emmett approach and though he did not avert his gaze from Carlisle, he addressed Emmett. "Just in time Emmett. The main lesson for you to learn here is that you can not rely on your strength." A small smile played on his lips as he said it as both truth, and a bit of teasing. |

---Rosalie smiled and shook her head when Esme told her about new projects. Rose could see that. She could see Esme not being angry and rebuilding a house up again. It was very like Esme to not be angry, and not have something that made her angry. When she heard Emmett come into the cleaning, Rosalie looked over at him, meaning to smile and wave but Jasper's voice from behind her made her just stop and stare.
---She heard more then saw Esme's lung and barely moved out of the way in time. She was letting her self get distracted again! GRR! Rosalie dropped down in a crouch and faced Esme again, this time, Rosalie moved first, moving around to Esme's side and moving in, touching her and moving back.
---If Esme had been one of the newborns and not her beloved mother, then Rosalie would have used more force and ripped into her. However, since Esme was her beloved mother and not a newborn out to kill them, Rosalie only touched her as a sign, she could get close enough to do damage.

Esme's first lunge was a failed attempt, Rosalie had moved just in time despite getting distracted by Emmett's appearance. Esme flashed back around, just as Rosalie touched her. Esme let out a quiet growl of frustration before lunging again. This time she made contact with Rosalie, but it was only her arm, Esme was careful to just brush against Rosalie's skin, she didn't really want to harm her daughter.
As she turned to look Rosalie in the face, she suddenly straightened up with a sigh. She couldn't attack her anymore. It wasn't right. "I'm sorry Rose," Esme quietly told her, hoping she'd understand why she had stopped. Esme didn't like having to fight against her family, especially Rosalie, even if they were just practicing. She thought she could do it, telling herself that it would benefit them both, but she couldn't, at least not with Rosalie.

---Rosalie was about to attack again when Esme stood up and spoke. Rose slowly stood and wondered what Jasper was going to say about this. She knew he might want to try to work with Esme more but Rose knew it would be no easier on Esme then it was now. Rose walked over to Esme and hugged her. "I know this is not easy for you. You were doing good!" She tried to encourage Esme.
---"Maybe If I attacked you? Would that make it easier?" Rosalie offered knowing they needed the practice. "Or you can attack Emmett!" Emmett was huge! Maybe that would make Esme feel better, since they knew she couldn't hurt him.

Emmett saw the small smile that played on Jasper's mouth as he told him he couldn't rely on his strength and got the feeling he was being teased. He was a little confused; what else was there to rely on?! He quickly dropped the confusion after deciding to just watch Carlisle and Jasper practice. How much could there be to it anyway?
He then heard Rosalie talking to Esme. "Sure, you can attack me," he said with a grin, "don't worry, I can take it." His grin got wider, trying to lighten Esme's mood.

Esme sighed once more as Rosalie mentioned switching roles. "I don't think it'd change anything," she said quietly. She knew this was wrong. She hated to have to even do this. But it was necessary, to protect their family.
Esme couldn't help but let a smile pull the corners of her lips up at Emmett's enthusiasm of letting her attack him rather than Rosalie. "Oh, I know you can take it," she told him, still smiling. She sighed again, this time giving in to Rosalie and Emmett's idea. She turned to face her dark, curly-haired son. "Fine then," she started, "Emmett, prepare yourself." She crouched down preparing for an attack.

Jasper watched Rosalie and Esme get into position, and then turned to Carlisle, getting ready to repeat what he had told Rosalie. "The most important thing is not to go for the obvious kill. And to keep moving. As long as you do those two things, the newborns will be confused and you will have the upper hand." Jasper stood across from Carlisle, slightly crouching as he was getting into position. |

Oh no! thought Alice as she ran through the forest in a frenzied manner. She was soo late. Oh so late. She felt bad. Most of her family was already here, and she wasn't. Half running, half dancing into the meadow, the spikey haired shortie arrived. "Sorry, I'm late again!" Shoot!
Alice grimanced as she took in everyone fighting in the clearing. She wasn't surprised, but actually seeing made her feel left out. Did she seriously miss all the fun? A smile smile tugged at the corners of her mouth as she spotted Jasper fighting Carlisle. Everyone seemed preoccupied. Darn. "Can I join in somewhere?" she asked, knowing someone would say yes.

Emmett obeyed his mother and got into a small crouch, ready to move out of the way when she attacked. He could see why Esme had troubles practicing this on her own family, having to picture them as her enemy and all, but he personally didn't mind. It wasn't like he was actually going to hurt them, right? Emmett grinned, "Alright, show me what you got."
She circled toward the right of Emmett, expecting him to turn with her. She had to remember, 'Don't go for the easy kill'. She lunged at him. |

"I am ready to begin when you are." It was as if Carlisle did not even think to attack Jasper first. Carlisle did not attack first, not with Jasper, and not with newborns out to kill him and his family. They would have to make the first move. He didn't have, whatever you needed, to be able to do that. He was a peaceful person.

[/blockquote][/color][/quote] Jasper knew Carlisle well enough to know that he would not make the first attack. He would act defensively, but not initiate it. And this meant that Jasper would have to be the first one to attack. He watched Carlisle intently, and was about to lunge forward, when he heard Alice's voice. He froze and looked at her. He hated that she would be fighting . . . but he also knew that when the time came, she needed to be extremely prepared. He would of course protect her to the best of his abilities . . . but what if that was not enough?
"Alice," he greeted and called to her in a low voice. "You may join in. I was just explaining to Carlisle how to counter an attack by a newborn." He would not be able to fight it wife . . . it would be too difficult for him. Perhaps Carlisle and Alice would be better suited for a fight. He turned his gaze from Alice, back to Carlisle. "I apologize. Distractions are a weakness in this case." If this had been a real fight, and he looked away for so long . . . he would have been dead by now.
"Alice, the most important thing to remember is to keep moving. The newborns will be confused and not expect it. Approach them from the side." While repeating their strategy for Alice's benefit, he kept his eyes on Carlisle . . . and resumed from where he last left off. He sprung forward, going for the most obvious position . . . as a new born would do. |

Carlisle waved to Alice and smiled at her before looking back at Jasper. He would have spoken to her however he was trying to keep the fight in his mind and do what he had to do, in order to protect his family. He moved smoothly out of Jasper's way but then moved back and did not attack.
Jasper's shirt was already ripped up thanks to Rosalie's attack, and Carlisle didn't know if he could actually attack Jasper. It felt wrong.
