Chapter Four

Emmett's POV

Emmett was in the middle of a hunt when the other vampire came. It was stupid, interrupting him when he was in such a state. He was chasing a bear, a tall, black creature, when he heard someone come up behind him. Emmett snarled furiously and spun around. A vampire stood there, holding his hands up in surrender. He had dark skin and black dread-locks that hung loosely around his face. His chest was bare except from an unbuttoned, black shirt. On his legs were torn black trousers, and black gloves on his hands. His eyes were bright red. At least he'd been able to hunt. Emmett stood ready for a fight.

"Please, I mean you no harm." He said in a strange accent. "My name is Laurent; I am a friend of those who visited your home not too long ago." He slowly lowered his hands.

"What do you want?" Emmett growled. Laurent laughed quietly.

"I only want to talk, and I'm sorry that I interrupted you." He apologised. Emmett was still tense. There was something not right about him.

"I have heard that your mate is a human. I even heard that you abandoned a vampire for her. Now, I find this injustice, and I have been given a little fun task from my good friend Victoria. She is asking simply that I help her. She has a target that she must kill, and that is your mate. But do not worry, I sent her far, misleading her. I only came to warn you." He explained, spreading his hands out.

"Kill Bella?" he yelled. "You're the guy from the airport, you knew we were getting on that plane and you would've killed her anyway! I don't believe or trust you." He was walking closer to Laurent now, who didn't move at all.

"You are quite smart, young one. You know not to trust me." As he was talking, he lunged for Emmett and landed on top of him, trying to get his hands around the younger vampire's neck. Emmett tried to knock him off, but his grip was too tight. So he reached back and grabbed Laurent, and then swung him viciously off his back and on the ground. He was back up in an instant, and they started a dangerous fight. They were pretty evenly matched, Laurent was more experienced and faster but Emmett was stronger, giving him a good advantage. He didn't attack, but waited for Laurent to come to him, and he would block and counter attack all of his moves. Finally, Laurent gave up and ran away, leaving Emmett in the forest. He growled and started following him, but when a few deer passed he couldn't help himself, he drained all of them and was still thirsty. He tried to track Laurent but failed, and ended up continuing his hunt. It was still sunny outside, but the light barely came through the trees, so it felt like night. Emmett could hear all of the animals around him, the birds hiding somewhere, the smaller animals creeping around. Finally, once it was dark enough, he shot up and sprinted at his top speed to the highway, where he followed it to the hotel. He could smell Laurent around here. As he came into human view he slowed to a human-paced run, which was incredibly slow and boring for him. He took the stairs ten at a time, boosting himself up. After one minute he reached the fifth floor and sprinted down the hall. He checked his pockets for the room key but it wasn't there. He banged on the door and yelled for Bella.

Bella's POV

Bella was about to drink some of her soda when there was an ear-splitting bang on the door. Someone yelled her name. He jumped so high that her soda can dropped on her lap and spilled all over her. She groaned and muttered a curse before taking the can off of her lap and rushing to the door, she opened it to Emmett, who looked incredibly furious. His expression dropped as soon as he saw her. He sighed in relief and hugged her so hard that she couldn't breathe.

"Emmett? What's going on? What's wrong?" she asked, pushing away to look at him.

"I...it's nothing." He marched in, closing the door behind him. Bella stood there, mouth hanging open. She walked into the bedroom and changed into a different shirt. She got out another soda from the small mini-fridge and slowly opened it. She walked out into the living room and sat next to Emmett on the sofa. She placed her soda gently on the coffee table and turned to look at him. He was already staring at her with amazing, golden eyes. Bella stopped breathing for a second.

"Emmett," she breathed out heavily. "What is going on? And don't tell me it's nothing!" he sighed and looked away, but Bella put both hands on the sides of his head and turned it towards her.

"I...when I was...hunting...I ran into someone. A vampire. He...he said that his friend was trying to kill you. He was too, I think. They were the ones from the airplane, Bella." He looked away, face full of pain. Bella suddenly remembered the woman from the elevator, and realised she was the vampire from the airport. And if she was the vampire from the airport, then she was the vampire trying to kill Bella.

And to think that she had been so close to the vampire...she shuddered as she remembered what the woman had said.

"What can we do?" she whispered. Emmett was silent for a minute, but he stood and walked slowly into the bedroom, then emerged only a second later with a cell phone. He already had it pressed to his ear. After around ten seconds he was talking. Bella heard "flight" and "tomorrow" mentioned. She bit her lip and started drinking from her soda can. Her cell phone was thrown on to the table, which made her jump and nearly spill her soda. Again. She put it on the table and wiped off a few drips on her arm, before lifting the phone and checking that it wasn't damaged. Luckily, it wasn't. It was just the way Bella had seen it last time. Small, silver, and scarred with scratches. But she remembered where most of them came from. She touched the different marks, and thought about when it happened. The little scratches on the side – she had dropped it out of her truck's window once. Those made her miss her truck. The small dent in the back of it – Edward was messing with her phone and – she stopped. She tried to forget about him, but the image of his pained face kept coming back.

She covered her eyes and took deep breaths, but soon resorted into turning on the TV to watch cheesy cartoons. At least they got her mind off...him. After a few minutes of hushed talking, Emmett joined her on the couch. He got the remote out of Bella's hand and managed to change the channel before she could steal it back. They started wrestling and laughing. Well, not really laughing. Just Bella crawling on top of him to grab the remote from his hands. She ended up sitting breathless, laughing and leaning against Emmett's chest. He changed the channel to a football game, where Bella sighed and closed her eyes. She couldn't sleep with Emmett's constant yelling of team names. There was a little swearing involved. Why was everyone so worked up about this game? It's exactly that, a game. Just throwing a ball around. She sighed again and turned with her back to the game, and started to drift off...

She remembered herself being carried by strong, cool arms to the bedroom, and covers being pulled over her. The TV stayed on, she could hear it from bed. Finally, after a half awake state, she fell into a peaceful sleep.

Alice's POV

Alice looked outside the huge windows, watching the moon. It was nearly full. Just a few more nights. As she gazed into it, she seemed to see the moon in someone else's point of view. She could see a woman in her vision, she was beautiful and pale, the two first things to notice, besides her hair. Her hair was bright orange, and curly, like a raging fire. Her eyes were darker red, but still blazing. She wore a large no shirt, but a buttoned-up leather vest. On her legs were dark jeans with a few stylish rips. She didn't have shoes on. Alice didn't approve of what she was wearing, but held her fashion thoughts to herself. Back in her real self Jasper was sitting patiently, watching her. In the vision, the woman was looking down at something. That "something" was a dead body. She recognised the face and nearly screamed.

It was Bella.

Jasper shook her by the shoulders.

"What, Alice?" he demanded, seeing the horrified look on her face. She looked into his eyes, frozen.

"I saw...Bella was killed. By a vampire. She was the one that came here. Oh God, Jasper she's going to kill Bella!" she cried. Alice stood and rushed to her room where she found her cell phone in her purse. She already had it pressed to her ear.

"Come on, Emmett...pick up!"
