"WHERE WERE YOU?" Edward yelled angrily.
"I went to the diner to get some food." I replied nervously. Edward rarely gets this angry. His expression softened.
"I'm sorry, love. I was just worried. We came back and you were missing."
"It's okay, Edward. I'm sorry for scaring you like that. I should've left a note."
He pulled me into an embrace. "I was just so worried about you. Don't scare me like that again."
"Okay. I'm sorry." I said softly.
"Um, we need to talk. I met some people in the diner. Let's sit down and I'll tell you about them."
We all sat on the couches. Alice and Jasper on one, and Edward and Ion the other.
"I was in the diner and this guy came up behind me and said 'sweet car' and we started talking. He asked why I was alone and I told him that you guys were out 'hunting'. I don't know how, but he knew that I didn't mean the normal kind of hunting.
"And then later on he said that he and his brother we going 'hunting' in Biloxi. Don't you think that it's a little strange that they are going to the same place we are, and the 'hunting' thing?"
We sat in silence while they thought over the information I shared with them.
Jasper finally broke the silence, "Yes, its definitely odd, but we don't know if there's more to it. I suggest we keep an eye on them. Just follow them to Biloxi and see what they do. Then we can find out about Alice's past."
We all agreed and decided to leave in the early morning.
I went into the bathroom and changed into my pyjamas. I brushed my teeth and hair and climbed into bed.
Edward climbed into the bed next to me and I lay in his arms.
He stroked my hair and I fell asleep.
I started to have the nightmare again.
I was running through all the corridors trying to escape, but I couldn't find the exit.
There was no way out.
I just kept running and screaming, until he caught up with me.
He grabbed me, held me tight against his chest despite my violent thrashing.
I stopped kicking and screaming and he loosened his grip on me.
I turned around to look at his face.
That's when I woke up. Drenched in sweat, yet again, and screaming.
I looked around the room and saw Alice and Jasper standing worriedly at the foot of the bed and Edward was sitting on the bed next to me.
He took my face in his hands and held me close to him, stroking my hair.
"It's okay, love. It was just a dream." Edward tried to soothe me.
I took a few deep breaths and I noticed tears running down my face.
After finally calming down, I went into the bathroom and washed my face.
I decided to get ready to leave, so I took a shower and got dressed.
When I came out they were all ready to go. I walked over to the kitchen counter where my breakfast was waiting for me; I sat down and ate it quickly.
"Okay, I'm ready to go." I told them.
They brought the bags outside and loaded up the Porsche.
We all climbed into the same seats as yesterday. The car started and we were speeding away.
Alice turned in her seat and handed me a portable DVD player.
"I knew you were going to be bored." She explained.
I took the player gratefully and put the earphones in my ears, even though all the vampires in the car could hear it.
I turned it on and watched Bring It On: All or Nothing. (A/N I love that movie)
The time passed quickly as I watched the movies Alice kept handing back to me.
Before I knew it, Edward was nudging me, "We're here, love. We're in Biloxi."
I turned off the DVD player and left it on the backseat as I climbed out of the car.
I had a look around. We were outside a motel, just on the outskirts of Biloxi.
Alice ran to check us in and she came back with two sets of room keys, one for each couple.
Edward and Jasper carried the bags in to the motel. I felt bad for Jasper, having to carry all of Alice's bags.
After putting the bags in their room, Alice and Jasper sat in the living area in our room.
"What's the plan of attack?" I asked.
"I'm going to tail those guys you met and Alice and Jasper are going to find a computer and see what they can find out about them." Edward answered.
"And me?" Edward looked as if he was hoping I would forget.
"You are going to stay here."
"WHAT? There is no way I'm staying here and not helping!"
"Love, its for the best. I want you to be safe."
"What if I don't want to be safe? I want to help!" He sighed and held his hands up in defeat.
"Fine, you can go with Alice and Jasper. I don't want those guys to recognise you."
I got up and hugged him. "Thank you."
