"Bella, calm down."

"No Alice! I will not calm down until you tell me what you saw and even then I might not be completely calm. Tell me! Now."

"Okay, when I saw her. She looked around seventeen. Like she did when I last saw her. She's being held captive James and Laurent. She doesn't know who they are or why they're there, but she knows it's not good. I was scared Bella, I didn't see anything else after that."

"You knew that one day she would be kidnapped, you knew that one day she would be scared, you knew one day she would be with the two people who tried to kill me? Are you sane? Why didn't you tell me? I bet right now she would rather have iron bars on her windows and locks on her doors, than be all by herself with no one to help her, with two strange men doing who knows what to her. Alice why? Why would you do that to us?" I knew that I sounded harsh but I honestly at the moment didn't care.

"Bella, I'm sorry. I didn't know that this would be the result." She sounded as if she were crying.

"But you knew that we were in danger. If James and Laurent are back there is bound to be trouble for all of us, you knew that. I thought that you would tell me anything, even if it would hurt me to know that something would happen to her. Why?"

"Bella, I'll call you tomorrow. If Charlie comes home then use the money in the glove compartment to rent a hotel room or something. I have to go. Good bye Bella."

"Bye Alice."

I think I knew somewhere deep down that Charlie wasn't coming home that night. I think I knew somewhere deep down that I would never see him again. I think I knew somewhere deep down that Renee and Phil were both gone as well. If Charlie told her she would have told Phil. It was logical. I thought I knew alot of things, but I know I knew...that they were all dead.

I would never see any of them ever again.

This whole be string thing was getting harder and harder. At first instead of sitting around crying, I took action. I drove all the way down here from Maine, only letting a few tears escape in the way, but know they came freely. I was surprised that I hadn't cried myself dry yet. I never thought that I could ever cry for hours at a time, but it seemed as if life had forced these tears on me. I laid on the couch and cried myself to sleep.

I never thought that I could make a list of people I knew that were dead. Or at least not one with more than two.

Charlie, Renee, Phil. Three people who would hate to see me like this and three people who had taught me that self pity gets you know where.

And then there was the other list, with only one name.

Edward. I couldn't list him with the other three for obvious reasons. But he too, would hate to see me like this, and he had taught me that self pity get you know where. I knew that if I ever wanted to get Edward back that I would get my act together, no just sit, but take action.

The next morning I woke up at around six, surprising myself at how early it was.

I called Jake and to my suprise he answered.

"Bella." he answered.

"Jake, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have reacted like that. I should have heard you out. I'm sure that you had good intentions behind all this."

"Yeah, I did." he laughed on the other line.

"Would you mind coming over and explaining them to me?"

"I would love to." he hung up, as did I, and in a half hour he was over at my house.

"Hey." I opened the door knowing it was him.

"Hi." he opened his arms and I gave him a huge hug.

I liked this. I hadn't had someone just hold me since Edward's death. But as all things had lately...it ended too soon.

He came in and sat on the couch next to me.

"Okay, I need your help."

"With what?" he asked. "Specifically, I mean."

"Well, I know that there's a way to get him back, there has to be right?"

"Yeah that's great, but was is it?"

"Jake, are you just going to ask questions. Think."

"Okay well tell me what happened, exactly."

I told him the entire story start to finish without tears.

"Bella, I'm so sorry, I didn't know that all that would happen. I wasn't sure what would happen, but I guess I caused the worst. Words cant describe how sorry I am."

"We're past that now." I sighned holding back tears.

"Okay, well, there has to be a way for James to come back to life right? And Laurent, I mean I was there he was torn to pieces."

"And then you lit them." I nodded.

"What do you mean 'lit them'?"

"Fire. Jake you did light the pieces didn't you?"

"No, was I supposed to?"

"Yes Jake otherwise he could have reassembled himself." I put my head in my hands.

"God, I've really screwed up."

"No, this is just more to the story." I stood up. "Okay so, Laurent must have been the reason for James' return right?"

"Yes, so we just have to find out what he did to James to make him come back to life. Well, to whatever he was before Edward got to him I mean."

"Right. I can't believe I didn't think of that before. How could I be so stupid."

"Hey, I'm the one who caused all this. Who's stupid now?"

"Yeah you're right. You are pretty stupid."

"So, what do we do now?" he asked.

"Well you're going to stay here and guard the phone, I don't think anyone will call for Charlie but if they do tell them he's at work. If it's Alice tell her to call my cell or if she can't do that to try to call later. Uh, don't let anyone in and don't go outside. I can't work with that ancient computer upstairs, I'm going to go and buy a laptop." I went and put my jacket on. I looked down at the end table.

"Oh and," I walked back to him and handed him the container before running out the door. "Don't lose this."
