Just for my friend, Jami Williams.

Jami's perspective of the Snow Queen

Favor

I was walking through the small town of Burnet Texas, when I smelled her. The unmistakable smell of freesia, strawberry, and… snow.

I looked around me, trying to find her. After a couple of minutes, I continued on my way to my job at Pizza Hut, but I constantly looked around me to make sure she didn't sneak up on me.

I walked into Pizza Hut and clocked in, going to the back to wash my hands before I started.

The door opened with a ding, and in came the scent. I stiffened and looked forward at the blank wall, hoping it wasn't true.

"Hello… Jonathan." I heard a girl say. I closed my eyes in frustration. "I was wondering if Jami was here. It's sort of important." I sighed quietly and leaned my forehead against the wall. Of course it would have to be important for her to seek me out.

"I would have to check." Jonathan, my boss, said, before walking around the corner to find me standing by the sink with my head against the wall and my eyes closed.

"Jami." he said, walking to stand beside me. "There is a girl up front that would like to speak to you."

I sighed more loudly this time. "What does she look like?" I asked with my eyes still shut tight, even though I had a pretty good idea what she looked like, but I could still hope.

"About your height, long wavy brown hair, pale. She has brown eyes. Any of this ring a bell to you." Of course it did. She hadn't changed a bit over the years.

"Yeah." I said. I leaned away from the wall and reached up and grabbed some paper towels, drying my hands as I walked around the corner.

"Jami." she said, smiling sweetly at me.

I walked around the counter and into a far corner booth so Jonathan wouldn't over hear anything. I sat down with my back to the counter, and she sat down in front of me.

"It's been awhile Jami. How have you been?" she asked, still smiling sweetly at me.

I decided to play along. I smiled at her. "Well considering the last time we saw each other, fourth three years ago when I was being hunted by a coven of vampires, everything's just peachy." I dropped that act. "What are you doing here Bella?"

"I need your help." she said, not smiling anymore.

"What could you possible need my help with? You're the freaking Snow Queen for crying out loud. Who would be stupid enough to try and kill you?"

"The Volturi." she stated.

It turned completely quiet except for the timers for the pizzas. I suddenly slammed my hands down on the table. "NO." I yelled, not caring if anyone heard.

"Jami please." Bella begged. "You owe me. I saved your life."

"Yes, I know that Bella, but against the Volturi." I shook my head. "There is no way in hell."

"It's not just going to be you and me, Jami." Bella said, looking desperate. "I have three more people in the Holiday Inn waiting for me, and some more friends up in Forks Washington."

"Then you'll do fine without me." I got up from the table, but Bella grabbed my hand.

"I've been searched a month for you Jami. Please, I'm begging you, you have to help me."

I was completely shocked. Bella never begged for anything or to anyone. She must be completely desperate.

I sighed, defeated. "Fine, but if I end up killed, I'm going to haunt you for the rest of your existence."

She jumped out of the booth. "Thank you so much Jami. You don't know how much this means to me."

"I just have to tell Jonathan that something came up." I looked at Bella. "How long do you think this will take?"

She thought for a moment then answered. "Well, we have two more weeks until the fight is suppose to happen, and afterwards it will take a few days to get back here. So lets just say three weeks."

I groaned. "I might as well quit."

I turned around and stormed back into the office where Jonathan always was. "Jonathan, I'm sorry but I have to leave."

"Why?" he asked me. "What happened?"

"I have an emergency to take care of." I sighed again, not wanting to do it. I loved this job. "I have to quit."

"What, why?" he asked, shocked.

"I don't know how long it will take, or when I'll be back, so I just have to quit." I walked out of the office and punched out. I gathered my things up and walked out the door before Jonathan could try and talk sense into me.

I spotted Bella sitting in a blood red Mustang Giugiaro Concept. At least she had good taste in cars.

I walked over to her and got into the car. "You happy now? I just quit my new job that I loved."

"I'm sorry. I truly am, but thank you for coming with me." she said. It did sound like she was sorry, but the smile on her face told me otherwise.

"Like I had a choice. You wouldn't have left me alone." I mumbled, buckling my seatbelt as she pealed out of the parking lot onto 29 and turned right.

She laughed. "I would have left you alone… after a couple of days." She sharply turned right onto 281, heading to the Holiday Inn.

She pulled into the parking lot, taking up two parking places, and jumped out of the car, quickly sprinting to the doors. I followed her, and we went up to the third floor to room 304.

She opened the door to the room, and I saw three people sitting on the bed, watching TV.

"Everyone, I've finally found her." Bella said, shutting the door behind me.

I turned to look at her. "How did you find me anyways?"

"Well it wasn't easy." she said, walking into the room and plopping down on the other bed. "Like I said at Pizza Hut, I've been searching for awhile for you." She sighed and lied back on the bed. "I searched Las Vegas first, the last place I saw you, even though I knew it was unlikely that you were still there." She stretched and kicked her shoes off. "Then I went to New York. After a week there I came to Texas, remembering that you loved it here so much." She sat up and looked at me. "I remembered that Burnet was your home town, so I came here." She smiled and gestured to me with both of her hands. "And I found you."

I shook my head. "I can't believe you remembered that this was my home town." I went and sat down in the arm chair beside the window.

"I have a good memory." she said, lying back down, closing her eyes.
