DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT... OR THE CHARACTERS INVENTED BY STEPHANIE MEYERS.

EDWARD POV

Everyone was gathered at the dining room table, with Carlisle at the head. Nobody knew what was going on, confusion running through their heads. I looked at Alice and nodded my head. She gave a quick nod in return and looked towards Carlisle.

'I had a vision' she reported.

'its been a while since one of those' Emmett commented. He was right. Alice didn't get them as often as she used to, and she usually has to concentrate to get one.

'and what was this regarding? Something urgent I suppose'

'she saw Bella' I announced, unable to keep it in.

'not necessarily. She looked a lot like Bella, but if it was her, then she has obviously been changed and in a lot of trouble' Alice said sadly.

'hold on one moment. Could you please explain your vision?'

'a girl, obviously hungry, running through the bushes covered in blood, upset'

'hmmm...' Carlisle mumbled, thinking about what Alice had just told him.

'its definitely Bella' Alice stated.

'But is it of the future, or the past?' Emmett asked.

'I don't see the past. I only see the future'

'But if it is Bella, how come she hasn't tried to find us? I mean it has been nearly 50 years' Emmett asked again.

'She hates me, or she thinks I don't want her. It is my entire fault'

'Maybe she has just lost her memory Edward? A lot of people do, after a traumatic change'

'Well even so, she obviously needs help' esme spoke up.

'she has red eyes' alice said quietly.

'which means she doesn't follow our diet' jasper concluded

'it doesn't mean she doesn't need help' Edward exclaimed angrily.

'Alice never said that Edward. Calm down. Do you have any idea where or when this takes place?'

Everyone looked to Alice 'it was in forks, I remember the area, around about 2 days from now'

'never thought id see forks again' jasper said with a smile.

'this should be interesting' Rosalie said, standing up and heading to her room. She had remained quiet throughout the conversation, so i had a look to see what she was thinking.

I am so glad Bella is alive. Maybe she can put this family back together!

I hadn't really thought about my family these past years. Selfishly I just thought about myself, and what I had lost. I never thought to think about what my family had felt. They loved bella as much as i had. And I guess when we left Bella, we also left a part of me.

BELLA

So here i was, at a high school party. I probably won't be at one again for a long time. I don't socialise much, and I don't like making new friends. Always scared people will get too close to the truth and freak out. It will always end up like this. They grow old and have kids and will probably know the difference when i don't age a day. I will stay young forever, isn't that every girls dream? Not this girl. Forever is a long time when you have no one to spend it with. And i would never think to turn someone. I wouldn't have the control to stop. And there aren't many vampires out there, if any, who would change their dining habits for me.

Erica eventually caught up with me again and gave me a red plastic cup full of beer, encouraging me to socialise more. Id been standing by the bonfire so long, mesmerized by the flames that the cup, and beer, were both warm. I didn't even notice that there was someone standing next to me talking.

'sorry, what did you just say?'

'i asked if you come here often? Your looking fine tonight' i looked him over for a minute, he had shoulder length dirty blonde hair hiddin under a black beany, a grey hoodie and some bright orange and green board shorts. I check my watch and look back at him.

'oh crap, its 10:30, past my curfew. Sorry, i have to go'

I brushed past him and looked around for toby and Erica. I saw toby sitting on a log making out with a brunette, while Erica was sitting in a group with a few people, laughing her head off. At least they were having a good time. It brought a smile to my face. With one last look, i turned around and quickly made my way to the direction tommy usually camped out. I caught on to his scent and followed it. As i got closer, it started to smell different. There were other people with him, and they smelt familiar. This was not good. My eyes lit up as i came into the clearing. Oh no..
