I hopped down from the counter, full on frosted animal crackers and milk, and headed for my bedroom. I was so tired from work. The memory of high school was enough for me, but having to relive the experience by teaching the students was also extremely tiring.

The bed was made neatly and very welcoming for an evening nap. My alarm clock said it was only 4:00 but I had just got home from a long day of work, so I thought a nap might do me well.

I lay down on my pillow, hands behind my head, and reviewed my day. Light breakfast, taught, light lunch, taught some more, and after my nap it would almost be time to cook a heavy dinner, the one meal of the day I actually look forward to.

Now, what should I cook…?

God, Natasha, is this all you do everyday?Bella's sudden insult startled me.

Well, you should know, I barked back. You're with me every minute, every day.

Yeah, but I don't actually pay attention the entire time! You need to get out more, do more things. Meet new people, besides that stupid Seeker of yours…

LOOK! My tone made her jump I hate her just as much as you do, maybe even more, but there is nothing I can do about her! Nothing! I'm stuck with her!

Bella didn't continue to argue with me but I could feel her smugness. I had more reason to hate my Seeker than Bella. S.W.T.S-the name she goes by when talking to her acquaintances seems to think that she's a much better soul than me, even though I've been to about six more planets than she. But I still had to help her. To do that I had to manipulate my relationship with Bella, a hard decision to make, but necessary nonetheless.

Over the last three months, I'd done nothing but get on Bella's bad side. I'd told my Seeker the whereabouts of her husband and daughter, and also her best friend. It was made harder because I'd actually grown to love Edward as if he were my own husband, Nessie too; I loved her just as I'd love my own daughter. I love them, but still I betrayed them.

I've always known I loved them. But I didn't want to admit it. And before I knew it, it was too late. I had told my Seeker about them.

Bella and I had gotten into several quarrels, in only three weeks, since I sent the email to my Seeker about Edward, Nessie and Jacob. We could never seem to agree, mostly because she was still angry at me. Though my Seeker hasn't emailed me anything back, Bella was still fearful, and if I had to admit it, I was also.

Yes, I regretted sending the message. I regretted giving away the position of the two people I love, and one that is supposed to be my best friend. But I can't take it back. I could only hope for useless results to their search.

My thoughts halted, interrupted by a low murmur coming from my computer room. I sat up forcing myself out of the relaxing state I'd been in and trudged through my silent house to the office on the opposite side of the house.

As I turned the computer on, my heart skipped a beat. Two beats. Three. There on the screen, in bold letters, 1 new email from: Sang With The Stars (Seeker)

My worst nightmare had just come true, and Bella felt it too.

Reluctantly I opened the message, yet another thing I had to do regardless of how I feel.

Dearest Natasha,

I know it's been a while since you've sent me the email concerning Edward, Renesmee and Jacob Black, but I'm excited to tell you that I think we have found them in Seattle, Washington! See, Natasha, I knew you would eventually become something of use! I knew you would never let us down!

Take Care,

Sang With The Stars

I stayed frozen after reading the signature of the Seeker who had the nerve to insult me, and then cover it as if it were a compliment.

Bella sank back into the deepest crevice of my mind and I wished I could've joined her. It broke my heart to know that possibly, in less than 24 hours, the man and little girl that both Bella and I love would be killed.

Bella I…I'm so sorry. I couldn't hold back the tears that begged to overflow. So I let them.

I know, if you could have, you wouldn't have sent the message. I...I know you love them just…just as much as I do.

I could only nod, not able or willing to do any more. I stalked back into my bed and lay down my head once more, heartbroken.

I didn't want to fall asleep, afraid my dreams would be haunted with nightmares of Nessie and Edward. My Seeker would star, of course.

But, despite my best efforts, I couldn't control my eyes as they demanded sleep and eventually slowly drifted off with no dinner, at 5:00, tired as hell.

After 12 and a half hours of restless sleep, I woke up, an hour before my alarm clock would go off, to a distant murmur from the opposite side of the house.

Startled, sweat beading from my forehead, I heard the low murmur once more. There was no doubt in my mind that it would be another message from my Seeker. And once again, despite my desperate attempts to stop them, the tears fell.
