Hi everyone! So I'm Dicen. I'm finishing up the story of The Three Musketeers for my friend Tigger77, as a favor. Hopefully I don't mess things up, and the other thirteen chapters will be up in a few hours. Thanks for supporting not only me but also Tigger77. And don't forget to review! If you have any problems, questions or concerns about me or The Three Musketeers you can pm me or review, and I will get back to you as soon as possible!

I never knew I would be famous. Hell, I was more focused on finishing high school!

They called us the downfall of the United States. Some even extended it by far, saying we were the down fall of the world. Fools! They had no proof either way. Even if they did, they couldn't catch us. We were as Zeke deemed us The Three Musketeers. Unimaginable, unattainable, and all around just unbeatable. I probably sound cocky by saying such things, but truth its self couldn't have said it any better.

Forks WA.

I felt like an idiot. Billy had told me that Jake was just sick, and that he'd make it through it eventually. But there was still that nagging feeling at the back of me head. What if Jacob wasn't all right? That was why I found myself in the kitchen with a phone in my hand, Jake's home phone dialed.

"Hey Jacob. It's Bella. I heard you got mono. So, just call me when you can." I set the phone down on the counter. Then, set the salsa for the spaghetti in the microwave to warm. All the while the tugging in my heart got worse. Of course no one would answer. No one ever did. I thought bitterly.

Jacob had made it better, to the point were I could hardly feel it. But now with him gone, the pain came back full force. I needed to stop thinking about it. It was making things worse. Instead I strained to hear the faint sound of the T.V in the other room. It seemed to be a news channel. This was surprising. I would have expected Charlie to be watching a baseball game.

As soon as I thought the word baseball a spasm of pain coursed through me. I remembered all too clearly the night in the baseball field. But most importantly, I remembered, him. No, I mustn't think of that either, I reminded myself.

"Breaking news!" A male voice said in the other room. Quietly almost so I couldn't hear it. "Scientist have predicted that in ten days, three asteroids will fall to earth. Chelsea Mc-Doff is down in Vermont right now where some of the best scientists in the world are working to find the answers to these unsuspected asteroids. How's it going, Chelsea?"

There was some shuffling and then a female voice that I guessed was Chelsea, "Hi'ya Tom. I'm doing good. Right now I'm sitting down with Ronald Arches. He's working for the labs doing all the research. So, tell me Dr. Arches, why are these asteroids causing such a panic? They come all the time, do they not?"

"No, asteroids f-fall a-a-all the time. What makes these three different is they appear to all be the size of a large tr-truck. And at the speed they are going, seven-hundred and fifty-three miles per hour, it could end are world as we know i-i-i-it"

"Wow!" Chelsea's voice held both shock and awe. "Do you know exactly were these asteroids will land?"

"Well, I-it appears that the first will land around South Africa. The second in Australia. And the th-third somewhere in Oregon. But, we can't be to sure. Since the day we made the discovery. Which happened to be five days ago. These asteroids have changed course numerous t-times."

"Incredible! Indescribable! Inconceivable! Could this possibly be the end of our world as we know it. Or is it just some spoof? Thanks for talking with us Dr. Arches. And back to you Tom!" The chipper voice cut off.

There was a little more shuffling and then Tom saying, "That is interesting. And if I'm being honest with myself, it is quite frightening. I might need to sleep with a night light tonight." Silence. "Anyway that's the end of are show. Join us next time on channel two news at six. Where the news comes first! I'm Tom Cane. Goodnight America!"

That was it. The show changed and so did the channel. To a basketball game if I was correct, and I was left baffled in the kitchen. Why was it that I felt such a connection to that story? It was probably just some spoof anyway. I guess gossip must be down or something. Someone must have just wanted a good story. But, still. Ever since he *flinch* left, I've been broken, with no hope left for the future. Yet just this mentions of three stupid rocks, with no value to me what so ever, made my heart beat faster and sweat dew on my forehead. No. Why should it matter to me?

I didn't have time to think things over anymore as dinner was ready and knowing Charlie he'd, at the very least notice that I was distracted. So, I called Charlie in and we ate in complete silence. Though it wasn't the silence I was used to. Charlie seemed edgy, and dare I say it nervous? It was just a guess, but it looked to me like he truly did believe in the asteroids.

The only time Charlie talked was when he asked me how school was. Which I didn't have much to say about. I had mostly B's in my classes. Just not P.E., because I was just about as graceful a chicken with its legs tied together. Very graceful. And then Charlie asked me about my friends which I could only say they were good. At least Angela, Angela's boyfriend Ben, and Mike had accepted me back. Lauren hated me and Jessica was fine to go with the whole 'no Bella' thing. That was about it. Jacob wasn't around having caught mono. If I should choose to believe that I hadn't decided yet.

After dinner I called Jake again. This time a gruff voice answered. "Hello?"

"Jake?" I asked in surprise. Could this gruff voice really be my Jacob's? "Is that really you? You sound so different. How are you feeling? I heard-"

"I'll be fine, Bella. I am fine." Jake said.

"You don't sound fine."

"Well I am."

"Maybe I should come over sometime? Bring over some soup? I-"
"No I already told you I'll be fine. You just stay home." Jake persisted.

"Will you stop cutting me off?" I asked annoyed.

"Fine whatever. I've got to go anyway." There was a sound like clothes tearing apart. Then a wolf howling and all was quiet.

"Jake? Jake?" I called urgently. But no one answered. A loud crunch echoed. Like someone had just snapped the phone. What the hell was that? It took me approximately two seconds to come to my senses and realize what to do.

"Charlie!"

Charlie called Billy after I explained to him what I had heard. All though I'm pretty sure he was only doing it to appease me. He got on the phone and talked to Billy for about half an hour, talking about taking a fishing trip next week and the game that was to be on in five weeks. What was it called? Something along the lines of 'the super bowl'. Apparently it was supposed to be really big. They had just gotten to talking about the fish they had caught last weekend when I cleared my throat. Charlie raised an eyebrow at me.

I was always the mature one. Never impatient. But, it had to do with Jake and Jake is always the exception. In the end Charlie thought I was delusional and depressed. I didn't argue with him. Half the time I believed it myself. It was too late at night anyway. But, tomorrow I promised myself I would go check on Jake. Even if Billy and Jake told me not to….

I went to bed shortly after. Prepared to face the nightmare that was of nothingness...

Review! Please and thanks!
