Jasper was gone by the time she managed to uncover her head. She tried to jump out of her bed quickly but failed and landed on her face, as always. When she got up she rushed to the window. Emmett was sitting in the tree where Edward had said he would be. She looked for the other two but they were nowhere in sight. Emmett saw the concern on her face.

"They went to investigate together." He said. It didn't stop her from getting in more of a panic. "Don't worry bells, they'll be fine." He reassured her. She was still worried but she knew Emmett was right. Jasper was strong and Edward was fast; they could look after themselves. She sat on her bed and stared at a picture of her mum and her before she moved to Forks. Then she looked down at her cast. So much had happened since those lovely days. But she wouldn't have changed any of it for the world.

Suddenly she was joined by Edward. His face was grim. "What happened?" she asked as her pulse quickened again. He could hear this and walked over to take her hands in his. She calmed slightly at his touch. "A girl, aged about twenty-one. Looks like the guy we saw isn't just passing through. If he is though it seems he wants to leave a trail." Edward explained. She gasped when she realised this guy could kill many more just in Forks before he leaves. It was hard to think about. "Just try and get to sleep. Don't think about it; we'll have it covered." He said. She got back into bed and covered herself up again. He sat in the rocking chair in the corner as usual. Something about his watch made her feel slightly more secure and she fell asleep quickly.

She could tell she was dreaming, she was in the forest. She glanced around herself but there was no one there. Realising she was in Edward's meadow that he'd shown her, she felt like it was a sweet dream. At that thought the sky turned a deathly black and thunder rumbled in the clouds. She shielded her eyes as a lightning strike came down not far infront of her. When she removed her eyes she froze. Staring at her was the guy she'd seen with Edward. His eyes were still holes in his face but his mouth had turned into a snarl. She backed away as he advanced. Her back came up to a tree and he closed the gap between them. She was hyperventilating and his mouth was closing in on her neck. "Bella!" a thunder clap sounded like it was calling her name. It came again and again. Then his teeth sank into her neck.

Bella's eyes snapped open and she was looking straight into Edward's eyes. His face was a mess of concern, worry and fear. She ran her hand through her hair and sat up slowly. "What happened?" she said dizzily. He held onto her shoulders as she was swaying slightly. "You had a nightmare." He said but his voice was wavering. She could tell she'd scared him. "I… remember." She said slowly. Alice was sat in the rocking chair. Bella glanced to her and Alice gave her a reassuring smile. Edward pulled Bella to his chest and hugged her. He realised it was just a nightmare but the things she had been screaming were just to hard to ignore.

"Today we will find him and you will be able to sleep safe." He stated. Bella nodded. "Can I stay at your place today?" she asked. Alice was suddenly right beside her. "Of course Bella, you know you're welcome anytime you want!" she said lightly. Bella smiled. They all knew it was going to be one hard day.

It started with a ride to the Cullen abode. After that Bella agreed that she would stay there so Carlisle, Emmett, Jasper, Rosalie and Edward could go looking for the vampire. Alice had planned some things for her to do so she wouldn't be bored.

It was all she could do to take her mind off what the others were doing.

Edward was the first to trace him, he could hear his mind. All he could think about was girls and blood. This didn't make a good combination since he planned to have sex then kill them. The rain meant he could travel in the day which caused them problems to keep track of him. Some news had already got to the papers and he was causing a stir. Jasper was still sure the guy knew what he was doing. Carlisle was considering a newborn. Edward knew something the others didn't but he wasn't sure whether to tell them or not. They needed to know and he would tell them soon, but he needed to word it right first.
