Chapter 2

"So… Jasper and I are visiting Peter and Charlotte." Alice said.

Every member of the Cullen family (plus one of the "Blacks") were sitting in the living room, as any other morning. Alice and Jasper were taking off this afternoon to go visit Peter and Charlotte, who were now staying in Paris.

"Peter found Maria, and he asked me to come." Jasper said. "Well… Actually she wanted to see me…"

I looked at Jasper, thinking of the story that told what caused all those scars. Even though it was a weak human memory, I remembered.

"How long?" Carlisle asked.

"A week," Alice answered, looking quite concerned. I believed that this was the first time she was going to see Maria.

"Don't worry Alice," Jasper said, using his abilities to calm Alice down. "You would see if anything was to happen."

Alice smiled at him.

"Shouldn't you go hunt before travelling?" I asked.

"Well, I hunted this night. But I guess that you were too busy to notice." He said and winked at me.

I narrowed my eyes at him. When were they going to stop?

I thought of how I would be free of all this, if Emmett hadn't coaxed (slash tricked) me to make a new bet, which gave him permission again, if he won – which he did. And now Jasper too! God was I ever going to survive this?

"I really am going to miss you dog…" Alice said, as she was saying goodbye to Jacob. He squeezed her lightly.

"I'll miss you too, bloodsucker." He smiled.

I looked at Reneesme; tears were streaming down her face.

"Don't cry Nessie." Alice said and removed a tear with her thumb. "We're coming back in a week."

"I'll miss you." She said.

"Okay, let's go now, or you'll be late for your flight." I said. I was driving them to the airport.

Using my "after car" and being a Cullen there was no chance that we were actually going to be late, but not liking the thought of being away from Edward I wanted it to get over with.

I hadn't objected when Alice asked me to drive them, as I knew that Edward was longing to get a ride on his new motorcycle with Emmett.

Carlisle had bought two shining new motorbikes for Emmett and Edward (Jasper already had one) and they were still standing untouched in the garage.

"Bye sis," Emmett said, as the last one saying goodbye. "Bye… bro?" Now with a sheepish smile on his face. I placed a kiss on Reneesmes cheek and afterwards one on Edwards delicate lips.

The three of us walked out to the garage, and when I was sitting in the driver's seat, Alice beside me, and Jasper in the backseat, I started the car.

We drove fast through the landscape of the green forests of Forks. Alice was babbling about how she was going to refill every closet in the Cullen's house, with new clothes from the city of fashion when she came home.

Jasper and I were just nodding and mmhm'ing now and then. Though she probably knew that we weren't listening, Alice didn't seem to mind… - maybe she was just talking so much, because she was nervous…

I parked at the parking lot in front of the airport, and walked them to the reception.

"Have a nice trip. And say hello to Peter and Charlotte. I'll miss you two so much!" I said, while hugging Alice tightly.

"We'll miss you too." Jasper said.

I watched them disappearing in the lot of travellers and stewardesses. Then I walked out.

"Hungry…" I heard someone cry faraway. I stopped.

"Hungry…" The sound of the cry was terrifying and sad.

I followed it.

The sound led me to an empty and sinister street.

"Must find..!" The voice sounded again, and I felt goose bumps appearing all over my body.

I rounded a corner to find a person all crept together. But the person sort of… - flickered?

Appearing and disappearing, like a light switched on and off.

"Ohm… Can I help?" I asked, not knowing what to say.

"No… Just… - just go away!" The voice sounded. In such a close distant, the voice now revealed that it was a female.

The girl slowly started to lift her head, and the flickering stopped.

"I can't anymore…" She cried.

"What-"I started. I was now starring into the girls eyes, they were black… - but with a gleam of ruby red.

The girl looked as numb as I felt.

"You're… - you're one of the yellow-eyed." She said with a shaking voice. Her nostrils were now flaring with anger.

"You monster!" She shrieked. I cringed away from her, overwhelmed by her sudden anger. "You killed my cousin! I'll kill you!"
