`Chapter 2

"Well I guess we'll just have to wait it out." Carlisle said with what could only be taken as grief on his face. He was good and was not liking how things were going. "But," he continued. "I'd rather not bring anymore death here if possible," Since I moved to Forks twenty two vampires died on this land. And one more was hunted by the Cullen's. I don't think anyone wanted more death. There weren't that many vampires already. I don't know about the other but I don't want to be responsible for exterminating the entire vampire race.

"Carlisle I don't think we can." Rosalie said. "With all the other times they were after Bella. We knew what they were looking for. But we have no idea what these people are after. For all we know they could be looking for the wolves! I say we stop them before they get here."

As we all thought about this new possibility we started to look at Jasper. He was the strategist of the family. After spending the first part of his life in a vampire war he picked up many skills. He held his chin between his thumb and index finger. " I think," Jasper slowly, began. " that Rose has a point. With Victoria we chose the battlefield, we knew the time, we knew what to expect, even used Bella's scent as bait. We even knew that we could use the wolves. With this so far all we know is that there are somewhere around five or six of them and they're headed this way. This time we have a new factor to add in. Renesmee."

If my heart could beat it would have stopped at the mention of my daughters name. Edwards arms were around me in an instant, holding my arms to my sides so I wouldn't break anything.

"What would they want with my daughter." I said through gritted teeth. If anyone was coming for my daughter they would die.

"Hold on Bells!" Jasper calmed me until I went limp in Edwards arms. I shot daggers at him with my eyes. Traitor.

" Look, maybe they just want to see her for themselves. She is a very rare creature and the only one of her kind stationed in one spot." I could see his point. She was very special. As Jasper let go of his control of me I calmed myself down. "If Alice can see anything we might have more info."

We all turned to Alice who was strangely quiet this whole conversation. She was balled up on the couch. Eyes closed tight, fingers pressed to her temples, lips in a tight line. She was very focused on trying to figure out who these people were.

"I'm trying to find something but it's like trying to chase someone who keeps zigzagging out the way. Every time I get a hold of it slips away. But I think, yeah I got it now. I see something. I think it's a-" Alice and Edward both gasped, eyes wide with pure terror. After a that Alice went limp and fell slack on the couch followed by Edward. "Edward!" I yelled catching him before he hit the ground. Jasper and Esme were desperately trying to get Alice to stop wriggling around. Emmet ran over to help me with Edward.

"Edward. Edward! Snap out of it!" Before I could do another thing Emmet slaped him so hard his head snapped back and a sound like the crash of thunder echoed through the house.

"Emmet! What was that!" I screeched at him.

"I thought it might work! It works with humans!"

"Does he look human!" Someone really needed to start hitting Emmet before I did.

" What do you want me to do then Bella! All I was-"

"Will you both SHUT UP!" Rosalie interrupted our little argument. "They're coming to."

And sure enough she was right. Edward had stopped wriggling and started to blink his eyes. All of a sudden he was up and running to Alice.

"Alice, Alice. Are you alright?" His voice was gentle but still coated with worry. Alice was fully aware now and everyone was helping her sit up. "What did you see." Jasper demanded.

"Darkness." Edward answered for her. He talked as he stroked Alice's face. "First she had something. It was like a blurry picture of something. There were a lot of different colors blended together. And a noise that was extremely low was loud in reality I think. I think it was music. All of a sudden everything went black and quiet. Then a female voice said 'Get out my head' and there was this screech. Like nails on a black board." I saw him shiver at the memory of it but he continued. "With that sound was pain like no other. It hurt so much we couldn't even scream from the pain. There were red flashes of light and blood soaked fangs and then it was all over." Jasper and I held the ones we loved. The thought of Edward in pain felt like rusted knives piercing my guts. I knew from his expression, Jasper felt the same way.

"I'm okay Jazz." Alice stroked Jaspers face. He looked at her tenderly. "It wasn't real. Only an illusion. Besides I think I know were we'll see them. Like Edward said. There were lights and music. The only place I can think of like that is either a club or a party."

I looked at Edward and refused to believe he was okay after that look in his eyes. I guessed none of the others did either. "Seriously guys," Edward said with a smile. "We're fine. In a way it's like Jane. Once she lets go it's as if no pain was ever there." To prove he was in good spirits he pressed his lips to mine and held tight my hand tight. When he pulled away he gave me my favorite crooked grin and a childish wink. I rolled my eyes and change the subject.

"So we know the general area we'll see them. All that's left to do is wait."
