APOV: I watched silently from a corner of the room as Carlisle told everyone what was happening. Jasper was struggling to calm everyone and soothe the tension, but to little avail. I sighed when they were done. Jasper met my gaze, and he smiled encouragingly. Edward and I had been trying to get more info about what was happening, but it was like the predators were capable of blocking other vampire's thoughts. I wouldn't be surprised.

But that did not in any way explain how it was possible for several things to happen that I had seen. First, I was going to be bleeding, which indicated that I would be human. That wasn't possible. It could be a power of one of them, but it was a long shot. Second, Bella was going to be unconscious, but she had supposedly been bitten. Unless it was under the same circumstances that Carlisle had been changed, I couldn't even begin to understand.

"Wait. Quiet, I hear something." It was Edward's voice cutting into my thoughts. Almost at the same time, I felt my eyes glaze over once again.

There are seven of them. Running, tearing through the forest. Chasing something. Or someone. The largest, a male, grins at a small, blonde-haired female beside him. Their eyes are black, but at the edges, there is a hint of red. Now I know what it is they're after. The female laughs. "I cannot wait to taste that human girl's blood."

"And the little one's. As soon as she's been restored to a drinkable state, we shall take her. This will be good. Are you sure we shouldn't take some others?"

"Perhaps. I'll take the first ones I can get to. But we know what the main objective is."

He grins demonically. "Yes."

I choked back a scream, looking out the window. They were going to be here in an hour at the most. Edward gagged, almost screaming with rage. He had apparently been telling the rest of the family about my vision as I had it, as well as what he heard. Emmet was getting excited quickly. A fight. It registered in his mind as a blessing. It was, of course, inevitable at this point. Carlisle paced back and forth across the room.

"Well, what are we going to do?" Edward asked impatiently.

"We should go meet them. However, we don't know if that's how Bella and Alice will be taken."

"We can't just wait for them here." I pointed out.

"I know, but-" He was cut off by a loud roar and an answering growl from Edward.

They were here. I saw Edward standing defensively in front of Bella from the corner of my eye just before a lean, brown-haired male who looked about fifteen or sixteen tackled me from behind. I clawed furiously at him, trying to kick him off, but he was strong. He pinned me to the ground. I heard Jasper snarl ferociously about a yard away, but my attacker blocked my view of him. I struggled with every ounce of strength I had, but to no avail. He grabbed me and shoved me in front of the small blonde I'd seen earlier.

She smiled and locked eyes with me. I couldn't move, couldn't call for Jasper. They grabbed me by the arms and quickly carried me from the house. I struggled to move, but I couldn't. I was trapped by these strangers with no idea what would happen.

I heard Bella scream. She was being carried away by the large male I'd seen earlier. Edward was growling furiously from somewhere inside the house, but he was obviously being prevented from following. "Alice! Oh my god, Alice!" Bella screamed, struggling against the iron grip of her attacker.

OoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoO

We were in a grassy area. I was still unable to move, and Bella was beside me, watching. "Alice…"

I could only hope that she could see my response in my eyes. I called Edward in my mind. Edward…. Can you hear me? Bella and I are in the meadow, I think. They do want to hurt us. I think…. I think that they want our blood. They will somehow turn me into a human and feast on our blood. Tell Jasper I love him.

EPOV: I heard Alice call out to me. Edward…. Can you hear me? Bella and I are in the meadow, I think. They do want to hurt us. I think…. I think that they want our blood. They will somehow turn me into a human and feast on our blood. Tell Jasper I love him.

I growled. "They want to hurt them, but they won't let me know how." Rose had apparently just found the scent coming from the direction of the meadow. That was enough for me. I dashed ahead of the others. I would not let them hurt my sister or Bella.

"Bella!"

The others followed quickly. I saw the light that must have been the meadow. Our meadow. This wasn't going to be the last time the two of us visited it. I vowed not to let it be as I leaped into the clearing. Alice and Bella were lying in the center. All seven vampires were circling them. As I watched, waiting for the others, the blonde one leaped at Alice and left a gash in her arm. She lost consciousness almost immediately, and blood began to pour from the wound.

"Alice!" It was Jasper. He leaped into the clearing and immediately ran for the blonde who had attacked my sister and was now turning to sink her teeth into Bella's vulnerable throat….

"Get away from her!" I slammed head-on into the blonde. It was enough of a blow to send her flying into a tree. I kneeled over and scooped Bella up in my arms, then quickly stood and carried her back into the trees. "Edward. Edward, you came." Bella's eyes were wide, her face pale. "Shh, it's okay. I've got you, and I won't let anything hurt you."

She screamed. My head snapped up in time to see the large male standing directly in front of me. He moved with blinding speed, even for a vampire, grabbing Bella and quickly sinking his teeth into her neck. I roared and leaped at him, cursing him with every dirty word I knew. Emmet appeared behind the large male. He realized this and dropped Bella so that he could fight properly. Emmet and I went for his neck at the same time. I succeeded in separating his head from his shoulders. Quickly, I retrieved a lighter from my pocket and set fire to the monster that had just done the worst possible thing imaginable. I watched with grisly satisfaction as the corpse quickly burned, and then turned to Bella. It was just like the vision. She was unconscious, barely breathing. I broke down, sobbing brokenly, tearlessly. It was too late to save her. Too late.
