Returned

"Alice!" Bella called, just before her and Edward had walked out the back door, "We are going on a hunting trip, do you want to come?"

"No thanks! I ate yesterday with Carlisle just before everyone else left." She called. She walked out of her room, just as she finished spiking her black hair.

"Ok!" Bella called as she walked out the back door. Edward led them over the small river behind their house, and into the middle of the forest. It was still dark out, as the sun was just starting to creep up over the mountains. They had been walking for around ten minutes in absolute silence, listening for any animals, when they both heard voices through the trees.

"Why did I agree to help you?" A man hissed.

"For the same reason all of us are here! To seek revenge on those Pevensie children!" said a woman.

"Who are they? I only came back to kill that Potter and his good for nothing friends!" said the first man "I don't even know why I am letting you use my body Kronos! I've shared a body before and it's the last thing I want to do right now! I could have done this by myself if I had wanted to!

"Yes, but I was the one who recovered a small fragment of the sorcerer's stone to resurrect you, didn't I? And, think about it, I'm sure Percy and Annabeth will be easy, and you, Witch, aren't you going up against only four children and a lion!"

"No, Aslan won't be there to protect them, since we are no longer in Narnia, they won't have any weapons, so your right, this will be easy," said the woman who had been called 'Witch,' sighing.

"Also, you could help Voldemort with all those witches and wizards. Don't you have a whole other world against you? It should be easy to find followers."

"Yes, it is fairly easy to find more Death Eaters, maybe the Malfoys… but, no matter," He murmured to himself, "they don't know I'm here, Potter is the one who defeated me, twice! And I have no problem with killing anyone who gets in my way…"

Edward turned to face his wife, and Bella instantly knew that he had read their minds and knew exactly what they had all been mumbling about, and had seen all of their memories.

"What are they talking about?" Bella asked. Edward merely shook his head; he was trying to process everything that he had just seen. After another five minutes of silence, he looked up.

"They want to kill these people, because they killed them- or something. But somehow, all of them found a way to come back to life. But, it doesn't make sense. It seem like these kids they are fighting aren't exactly normal. They have powers. Like, control of water, or they have magic wands. Some of them even have swords and bows and arrows. "

"But, how is that possible?" Bella asked. It looked like Edward was trying to fight back a grin.

"Bella… I thought that by now you would have accepted weird. You live with Vampires, you're a vampire, and your best friend is a werewolf for crying out loud!" Bella grinned. He was right, and she had to give him that much.

"But, I still don't understand- Bella, mountain lion!"

She spun around, and for once, the mountain lion was the first to attack, she threw herself forward as she heard Edward start to walk away.

Thirty seconds later, he spoke, "Bella, we have to leave, they heard us we have to go!" He sounded alarmed, and this got Bella's attention, he hadn't acted like this since the Volturie had attacked.

She stood up and started to follow Edward, but then, she felt a stab of pain running through her as she toppled over on the ground. Bella looked up, there was an extremely pale figure towering over her, he was grinning an evil looking grin that for some reason reminded her of James…. But, somehow he had actually managed to knock her over, and the only thing he had in his hand was a stick. How had a stick sent her tumbling towards the ground? She heard Edward spin around and start to run towards her, but the woman had jumped in front of him. She was slightly pale as well, and had her long blonde hair tied back in a bun.

The man sighed as he pointed what Bella guessed to be a wand, straight at her. "Avada kedavra!" A jet of green light erupted from his wand, but as it hit her, she even surprised a laugh. Had that meant to hurt? If it had, it failed. The grin disappeared from the man's face as he turned to Edward. He said the same spell, but the flash of light hadn't harmed him either.

"This is wonderful, let's try this, and let me handle them!" The same man was still talking, but his voice was different. He seemed to be having a two sided conversation with himself. He spun around, and all Edward heard was Bella's scream, and the woman who had tried to attack him disappeared.

The figure turned towards him, and Edward didn't know what to think, where had that woman gone? Edward started to run toward Bella, who was somehow unconscious. "Bella? Bella are you alright? Bella?" Edward screamed, panicking now. Her eyes opened, but almost immediately, she didn't seem the same. She reached up, but instead of pulling herself up, she pulled Edward towards the ground with incredible force that sent him tumbling head over heels towards the man with the red eyes and pale skin.

"Who are you? You deflected my killing curse just like Potter. How did you do that?" He asked.

"What? Who- who's Potter? And what did you do to Bella?" Edward yelled. He leapt to his feet and threw himself at the man, trying to tackle him.

"Reducto!" The man groaned. Edward was stopped mid flight and thrown to the ground by some invisible force. His attacker looked pleased whatever was happening. Edward didn't know what else to do, he simply lied there, and tried to think of a way out of this, but he couldn't think of anything. With one last thought he called, "ALICE, JASPER, HELP!" At least they would hear, and maybe come to help, or possibly go and find the rest of their family, or at least Jacob. That was the last thought that crossed his mind before he lost control of what he was doing completely; he could still see and hear everything, but couldn't control one muscle in his body.

Alice was flipping through the channels on the TV, when she heard Edward calling her name. She looked up, and immediately leapt up from her chair and started to walk into Jasper's room, and asked him if he had heard Edward, he had. They both shared one quick glance, and started to walk into their backyard, but then, as their curiosity grew, they started to run, then sprint to where Edward's voice had come from, but they both still found nothing except for the mountain lion. They both started to think of reasons why Edward and Bella had just disappeared, but nothing found its way into their minds. After three hours of thinking and searching, they stopped. Emment and Rosalie were on their third honeymoon so they couldn't go to them, and Carlisle, Esme, and Renesme were visiting Tanya and her family in Denial, so they couldn't go to them either. They both sighed as she started to run towards Jacob's house.

Once they got there Alice knocked on the door and they both waited only about five seconds before they let themselves in. As expected, Jacob was sprawled out on the couch, asleep. "Wake Up, Dog!" Jasper called. He jumped as his eyes shot open, a look of terror on his face.

"What are you two doing here? If Sam sees you, you guys are going to be in big trouble! Sam will kill you-" Jacob yelled, getting up from the couch and started to walk towards them, wincing at the smell.

Jasper strode in between Alice and Jacob, growling. "Don't push me Dog! Bella isn't here to stop me from-"

"Jasper!" Alice yelled, "Now isn't the time!"

Jacob paused, realizing that she sounded concerned. "Wait, is Renesme alright!"

"She's fine!" Jasper snapped through clenched teeth, "But for your information, Edward and Bella are missing."
