Hey guys! Thanks for all the spiffy reviews! wink

As I looked out the window I day dreamed. My mind went back to last night with Edward. It felt like days more than hours since I'd seen him. My arms longed to be wrapped around his marble body and I had no idea why. It was perfectly irrational. The thought of Theodore's silky deep voice entered my mind. I pushed it out suddenly and the urge to see Edward increased. Maybe that was it. Maybe the fact that Theodore's voice had enchanted me made my subconscious mind think that I was almost cheating on Edward. But that's ridiculous! My mind argued back and forth with reasons until I tuned that out. The clouds had returned to the sky and it was darkening outside with each passing second. Then a road sign caught my eye. NOW LEAVING WASHINGTON was all it said. I looked eagerly over at Alice.

"Is it later yet?" I asked trying to conceal my raging curiosity.

She looked back at me and smiled. "Yes, I suppose it is." She took a deep breath and launched into a fully detailed background behind Theodore and his coven. "We met Theodore's coven a couple of years before we came to Forks. They all have unique powers. Theodore can change into anyone that he has ever seen. He has a very photographic memory. Phillip has a power similar to Edward's, he can read minds, however, only when he has had some sort of contact with that person, like conversation or touch, but he can also transfer the thoughts to members of his coven. Elizabeth doesn't have any powers really. She is however extremely beautiful and they often use her as bait. Henry is the leader of the coven, he can mock anyone's power but only to an extent. Some he has more difficulties than others. Like mine for instance, he can't see like I do, or at all for that matter." Her laugh filled the car and a smug expression was on her face. "Sometimes it's hard to tell between Henry and Theodore if they are in a different form. However, Henry's eye color always stays the same." She finished up lightly.

"Where are we now?" I asked after a long moment of silence.

"A couple hours away from Denali, why don't you take a nap? You look a little tired." Esme said very motherly. And in a way, I thought of her as my mother. The Cullen family and I were awfully close so it was hard not to say they were like a second family to me...except of course for Rosalie. But I did hope that we could be friends eventually. But I don't know what Rosalie was thinking.

"That's okay. I'm not really tired anyways." I smiled tentatively at her and turned around, my eyes were only for the road. My day dreams once again took me captive and I gladly let them. I thought about numerous things. Charlie, Renee, Edward, things I had seen on the television, and things at school. Before I knew it I had slipped into unconsciousness, when I did realize this, I woke myself up. I could hear people talking but I kept my eyes shut. I realized that I was in the back seat spread across my head rested against Alice. I peeked and saw Rosalie was driving and Esme was next to her. Their voices were low and quick so I had to strain to catch all of the conversation.

"What did you see Alice?" Esme keeping her voice low.

"It looks like they're still following us." Alice said in a monotone voice. I could tell she was still enraptured with her vision. "We'll have to take a detour. Maybe to as far as Quebec."

"Look harder Alice." Rosalie said venomously. She did not want to drive all the way to Quebec no more than I did. The next thing I heard shocked me so much I had to fight to keep my mouth from dropping to the floor. Esme growled viciously at Rosalie. Rosalie looked taken aback and she returned her eyes to the road. I lapsed back into my phony slumber as to not cause suspicion.

"Just drive until I say." Alice said icily as she returned to the present. Alice had the phone to her ear and she began talking to Carlisle. "They're still following us...we're on our way to Quebec to lead them off...I saw them, they're after blood this time..." Shock ran through my body. Alice failed to mention that to me! I listened harder to catch the rest of the conversation. "You want us to go there?...Where will be there?...Where are you now?...Okay...no she's asleep." I fought to keep my eyes shut. Did Edward want to talk to me? I cursed my phony slumber to the pit of hell. I should have known better. It was going to come around and bite me in the butt sometime.

Alice hung up and explained to Esme and Rosalie the conversation. "Carlisle wants us to meet him outside of Alaska. We'll turn on them and try to settle things down. If push comes to shove, we have to attack." My body went numb with fear.

"What about Bella?" Esme asked concerned.

"You and Rosalie will take her to Denali." Alice said.

Rosalie's mouth dropped open in shock. "Why aren't you going?" She demanded.

"Carlisle needs my...expertise." Alice said carefully.

"Rosalie, please behave." Esme begged. "Emmett wouldn't want you to be there if things got rough, anyways. Now please keep a cool head about this."

"No!" She half shrieked.

"Hush!" Esme demanded. "We'll talk about this later! Don't wake her up!"

I could no longer stay in my phony slumber but I had to. I waited a few minutes then slowly began to wake up. "What's up?" I asked innocently and I followed with a yawn. "Anything new?"

Noone seemed to know what to say so I waited wondering if I would get the truth.
