Once again, I only own what you do not recognize!

I would like to thank my wonderful beta Em Phantom, for

a.) betaing my terrible grammer,

b.) giving me ideas for the plot, which was going absolutely no where until she suggested this!!

Thanks again! Enjoy!

Michael and I helped Jess finish the dishes, and then sat on the couch for a while, watching TV. Eventually, both of us got bored, so we retired back up to his room, and did pretty much nothing. Any talking that we did avoided the subject of extrasensory perception, since I really wasn't comfortable talking about my powers yet. It was still way too weird, even for Michael.

"So, what do you think about Ernie Pyle so far?" Michael had asked, trying to make small talk. I thought about his question for a few seconds, and then shrugged. I wasn't really in the mood for saying anything that I didn't have to. Michael seemed to understand, because he stopped asking questions. Instead, he lay back, and read more of his magazine.

Eventually, the silence drove me insane. "Say something," I said to Michael, desperate for something to do.

"What do you want me to say?" he asked, rolling onto his side so that he could face me.

I sat up on my bed and thought for a few minutes. "I don't know." I sighed, "It's just too quiet in here. Somebody has to say something." I couldn't help but think I sounded like a five year old begging for candy.

"What time is it, anyway?" I asked suddenly, remembering poor little Lisa Perkins. I glanced over at the clock on the wall. It was three in the afternoon. If the cops were going to catch Lisa's kidnapper, they had already done it.

Growing interested in what had happened, I ran down stairs to find Jess and Rob on the couch watching the news. Perfect.

"Just in time Sammy," Jess called over her shoulder. "Come in here, you have to see this."

I rushed over to where they were sitting, and watched the television intently. As soon as I had sat down next to Jess, a reporter began to explain what had been going on.

"About an hour ago, the police arrested Mr. Jack Kostmen for attempted kidnapping," the reporter was saying. "After speaking to the sheriff, we learned that at about nine o'clock this morning, an anonymous call was received. The caller told the authorities that Kostmen was planning to kidnap Lisa Perkins, a ten year old girl." At this point, Michael had joined us on the couch, and was sitting on the opposite side of me as Jess.

"The Perkins family was out shopping at Wal-Mart when Mr. Kostmen made his attack. Fortunately, police were standing by, waiting for the right moment to make their arrest. We are glad to say that Ms Lisa Perkins is not hurt, and that Jack Kostmen's punishment will be decided soon."

I stood up again, a little bit dazed. "Whoa," I whispered, shock setting in. Before now, I hadn't realized that my power really worked. I had just thought that my dreams were just a crazy coincidence. Now, after seeing that I had predicted the time, name, and place of a kidnapping, I was just a little bit scared.

I sat down again, feeling the gazes of my temporary 'family' burning into me. "Sam," Jess started, unsure of what to say. "Sam, you did a great thing. You saved an innocent girl's life. Why do you look so depressed?" She sat in silence as I debated on how to answer her question.

"I'm not depressed," I concluded, hoping that this was indeed true. "I'm just… a little bit shocked, that's all." Jess stared at me questioningly, waiting for an explanation. "Before, I though that this whole, 'I can predict a kidnapping' thing was just a coincidence. But, now… seeing that it's not, it's just…weird."

Jess thankfully understood what I was trying to say. She nodded slowly, and then retreated to go and prepare dinner. Staying on the couch seemed like my best option, considering my only other choice was to go back up into Michael's room. The last thing that I remember is lying down across the couch, to watch TV. After that, I fell asleep.

Not that slumber lightened my load, though. Oh no… my burden got a lot heavier the second that my eyes shut. I was dreaming through the eyes of a kidnapper, only, this kidnapper, wasn't human. She was a vampire. Tanya.

I'm pretty sure that I mentioned my old friends in Forks, the Cullens: Bella, Edward, Jasper, Alice, Rosalie, Emmett, Carlisle, and Esme. All eight of them are vampires. Edward had mentioned another family of vampires in Alaska. Tanya was unfortunately one of them.

Bella had been human about two years before I met her. She was Edward's wife. Tanya didn't approve of Bella though. See, she wanted Edward for herself. This was why she was planning on kidnapping Bella, and destroying her.

I woke uneasily. Did I really just see a vampire planning to kidnap my best friend? Or was I just dreaming? Either way, I had to get back to Forks, and fast. There was only one problem. I promised the Cullens that I wouldn't tell anybody that they were vampires. So… what was I supposed to tell Jess?

I raced into the kitchen where Jess was setting the table. "Jess, we have to leave!" I panted.

"Sam, calm down. What's wrong? Where do you have to go?" she laughed, obviously not taking this seriously.

"I have to go back to Forks. Some one that I know is in huge trouble," she stared at me for a second, and then shook her head.

"I'm sorry, Sam. Can't we just call 1-800-WHERE-R-YOU again? I mean, I'm sure that you're worried about your friend, but…"

I cut her off. I had to get to Forks, like… NOW. "Jess, listen to me. I need to leave right now. I can't call Rosemary, the people I need to help need me, not some missing person hotline."

Jess sat down at the kitchen table, trying to decide whether or not to allow me to leave for Forks. "As much as I wish that I could understand this Sam, I am really lost."

Lost? I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I had put my explanation in plain and simple words. How could she get LOST? "Jess, look. My friends have… a secret. A secret that I swore not to tell anyone. If I called the hotline, I would have to tell them the secret, and, trust me on this, revealing this secret could lead to death."

Once again, Jess looked dumbfounded. Thankfully though, when I said 'death', she decided that we should probably go to Forks on our own, seeing as no one needed to die just because of a secret.

"Okay. We can fly out there as soon as we can, but Sam, I'm not guaranteeing anything."

The second that the words 'we can fly out of here' were out of her mouth, I was halfway up the stairs. "You don't have to guarantee me anything Jess! I'll handle things as soon as we land in Forks!" I called over my shoulder, as I pulled out my suitcase that was still half packed.

I threw a few more things into my bag, and then rushed back down the stairs. When Michael saw the suitcase in my tow, he panicked. "Sam, where are you going?" he asked, eyes wide.

At this point, I really did not want to talk. "I'm going to Forks to help a friend. Jess and I will be back in a few days." As I said this, I walked into Jess's room to help her pack.

"Forks?" Michael called after me. "What's wrong there? Do you want me to come with you?" he was really starting to panic now.

I really felt sorry for him. I mean, I knew that I couldn't take him with me, two airfares were enough. "No Michael, you need to stay here. I know that you want to come, but… I'll come back as soon as I can, okay?"

He looked really hurt, but what was I supposed to do? I didn't want to bring him into this terrible world of supernatural powers and mythical creatures. It was bad enough that I had to take Jess along with me.

"Alright Sam, let's go," Jess said as she lifted her suitcase off of the bed. When she saw the look on Michael's face, she whispered, "She didn't tell me anything either," to Michael.

We walked out to the car a little bit too slow for my liking. Jess had pulled out her phone, and was calling the airport. When she hung up, she told me that there was a flight out of Indiana to Forks that left at six thirty. Since it was currently a little after five, we really had to hurry.

The drive seemed to take forever. Jess kept trying to get me to tell her why we had to go to Forks so suddenly. "Sam, I still would be really interested in knowing exactly why we have to go all the way to Forks on such short notice," she kept asking.

Since I couldn't tell her all of the details, I just told her, "It's my old friends, the Cullens. One of them, Bella, is going to be kidnapped and murdered unless I do something about it." Jess just sighed and continued to drive to the airport.

Once we arrived, it was six o'clock. When we looked at the screen that tells you the status of flights, we saw that our flight was going to have a thirty minute delay. I was horrified. What if Tanya got to Bella before I did? Edward would be crushed. When Bella was human, Edward did everything in his power to keep her safe.

If I didn't save Bella from Tanya, I would never be able to forgive myself. Edward and Bella were my very best friends in Forks. They had taken me where ever they went, and protected me from their "enemy vampires". They used to joke that I had replaced Bella's human form. Apparently, when Bella was human, she had gone everywhere with the Cullens, and had always gotten herself into terrible situations.

It was time for me to return the favor; I had to save their family for a change. Waiting for our plane was torture. The flight was pushed back another half hour, tempting my patience even more. I decided that it was time to call Edward. I couldn't tell him why I was coming of course, since I wasn't sure that I was exactly ready to tell them about my new ability.

I pulled my phone out of my pocket, and scrolled through my contacts until I found "Edward". I pressed the little green phone button, and listened to the phone ring for a few long seconds.

"Hello?" I heard Edward ask expectantly.

"Hi Edward, it's me, Sam," I replied, though I was pretty sure that he already knew who I was.

"I know who you are Sam. Who else would call me? Every one else that might call me are in my house." Oh yeah, I kind of forgot that no one else would have to call him. He could just read their thoughts. Well, everyone except for Bella. I'm not even sure if he could read my mind, seeing as he never said anything on the subject.

"Um… Edward, I'm coming home for a few days. I'm bringing another old friend with me. Would you mind picking us up at the airport? Our flight leaves in about an hour." There was a long silence before he answered me.

"Sure Sam. You didn't tell your friend anything, did you?" he asked. God, it was just like him to make sure I didn't do anything that I would later regret.

"No Edward, I didn't tell Jess anything," I assured him. I could almost see him relax. "I'll see you guys when our flight comes in."

"Okay. Bye Sam," he said.

"See you later Edward. Say hi to Bella for me."

"I will," he said, and then added, "Oh yeah, and Sam, there's a new member of our family that wants to meet you." But he hung up before I could add anything more.

When I turned to Jess, she was eying me suspiciously. "Sam, you aren't just going back to Forks to visit your friends, are you?"

"No Jess. Bella really is in trouble, but if I told Edward, he would be in just as much trouble as Bella," I told her, hoping that she would leave the subject alone.

Luckily, she did. Drop the subject I mean. I didn't have to explain anything else to her. That is, until we boarded the plane.

Once we had boarded the plane, and sat down in our designated seats, Jess started the interrogation, "So, I think that you owe me an explanation."

"An explanation of what?" I asked, trying to play the stupid act. Unfortunately, it didn't work.

"Don't play dumb with me Sam. You know what I mean."

"I promised that I wouldn't say anything Jess," I whined, trying to pull myself out of this conversation.

"Please Sam. I could do more to help if I knew more of the details," I couldn't avoid this any longer. I would have to tell her eventually.

I pulled out my phone once more, and pressed redial. Edward answered again. "Hello. What do you want now Sam?"

"Edward, I didn't want to say anything about this until I saw you, but… Bella's in trouble," I said, under my breath. When Edward didn't say anything, I continued. "My friend has… powers, and can help us to get Bella out of trouble, but it would help if I could tell her our secret."

Edward was quiet for a few more seconds, and then whispered, "Do anything, just help me to keep Bella safe." I think that he forgot to hang up the phone at that point, because I heard him say, "Spencer, get in here. You have to help me to keep an eye on Bella for the next couple of days. You remember Sam, the girl I was telling you about? She said that Bella may be in trouble."

I took the liberty of hanging up. I figured that I wasn't welcome in that conversation, and that I would find out more about this "Spencer" the second that our plane touched the ground.

I turned back to a patient Jess. "Alright, you have special permission to know about the Cullens," I began. "They, well, they aren't exactly what you would call a normal family. Actually, they aren't even human. They're vampires. All eight of them." It was easy to see that Jess didn't believe me. She rolled her eyes, and then turned from me.

"No! Really Jess. The Cullens are vampires. So is Tanya. She was jealous when Edward chose Bella as a wife over her, even when Bella was human. Bella was just changed into a vampire like, a year before I met her." Finally, Jess seemed to understand that I wasn't kidding.

"You're serious about this, aren't you?" she asked. I only nodded, trying not to draw too much attention to our conversation.

Our flight seemed to take longer than the wait beforehand. We talked about how school was going, and about who the Cullens were.

"So, you keep saying that the Cullens are… vampires. Can you tell me more about them?" she asked, truly curious.

"Well, they aren't normal vampires. They don't drink… human blood. They hunt animals." I looked over to see how Jess was coping so far. She looked at me calmly, so I continued slowly. "When Edward had just become a vampire, he lived with Tanya's family. She—well, she liked him. So, when Bella came along, she got jealous." Jess understood, and motioned for me to keep explaining. "At first, it wasn't too bad, since Bella was human, and easily breakable. Now though, Edward has changed her into a vampire, and has married her. It made Tanya so jealous that she's considering murder."

Jess stared into the distance, with a blank look on her face. I couldn't really blame her, I mean, when Edward and Bella had explained all of this to me, I had done more or less the same thing.

Finally, she came to her senses. "So this Tanya, she's going to kill Bella because she's jealous?" I nodded, and she sighed. "That is not a very good reason to kill someone."

As much as I disagreed—Jess hadn't exactly seen Edward before—I dropped the subject. "I met them at the hospital," I said, trying to get Jess's mind off of Tanya's reason to kill.

"Really? What were you doing in the hospital? And more importantly, what were they doing in the hospital?" she asked, her interest sparking.

I laughed. She didn't really grasp the whole 'they don't drink human blood' thing. "Carlisle, Edward's adopted father, works there."

Jess stared at me with wide eyes. "A vampire works at a hospital?"

I couldn't help but laugh again. "Carlisle is the best doctor that this country has ever seen." Jess looked even more confused. "His sense of smell can be really useful. Blood doesn't affect him, or the rest of his family, like it would normal vampires."

"Oh," Jess sighed quickly. Finally understanding what I was telling her.

She fell asleep shortly after that, leaving me to sit in silence. The pilot's voice sounded over the loud speaker. Our plane would be landing shortly. Thank God.
