Jake's POV

Three nights after Bella's birthday, Lani and I were playing a game of rummy in the kitchen. We were fighting about how I apparently cheated and we stopped when the phone rang. Lani went to answer it, but dad got to it first. He dropped the phone after talking for a few minutes.

"Lani, stay here and Jake, we're going to Charlie's. Bella is missing. Call Sam Uley first, he'll help us look for him." When he said that, my whole world fell apart. I ran the whole way to Bella's. When I got there, Harry was explaining to Charlie that the Cullen's had just left town, with no warning. Charlie was pissed, and so was I. I started to head into the woods to go find her, but as soon as I started to, Sam walked out of the woods with Bella in his arms. She was muttering things about him leaving and she just kept saying his name. I wanted to kill him.

Lani's POV

It was a perfect night until that Swan girl went missing. Jake was torn up about it and I had no one to talk to after he left so I just went home and went to bed. They said she was like a zombie. I'd probably be just like that if Embry was to leave me. I wouldn't know what to do without him. And lately, since that happened three months ago, I've had to consider it seeing that he's been real distant lately, and short-tempered. He just left five minutes ago shaking like a mother fudger and he stormed out of my house.

**Okay, an even shorter chapter, I know. But I promise the next one will be longer! And, a few things, review for me? Please? Two, I only own my characters
