Chapter 6

When I came to, I was lying down on something soft, and sort of sticky. I peeled my face off of the sticky material I was lying on, which turned out to be the hot pink leather of the back seat of Donna's pink lamburgini. I holled myself up into a sitting position and looked around. Donna was in the driver's seat (she always did love to drive), Alainn was sitting next to her with her arm out the window, playing with a butterfly in her hand, and Crescent was next to me in the back, bent over me to see if I was okay.

"What's going on?" I groaned. Donna turned around in her seat to look at me. "We've kidnapped you and we're going to find Edward." She said matter of factly. I started to protest. "Come on, it's going to be so much FUN!" Alainn exclaimed. I continued to protest anyway. Here Crescent broke in. "Look, you can either do this willingly or unwillingly, but I suggest willingly because it will be more pleasant for all of us. Besides, you've been a mess without him-" "And don't think we haven't noticed that, because we have!" Donna exclaimed. "You've been a mess without him, and you can't go on like this." Crescent finished. I groaned again, but I knew they were right. "You're right." I sighed.

"GREAT!" Alainn squealed. "We're going to have so much fun on this trip! We're going to get ICE CREAM, and search for CLUES, and we're going to start in PORT ANGELES…" "Alainn, you're a vampire. You don't even eat ice cream." Donna sighed. "Okay, but we'll search for clues and go to Port Angeles. ...And Bella can get ice cream! It'll be fun!"

We arrived in Port Angeles at 12:26 AM. It was very dark and quiet, like someone had thrown a black velvet blanket over the entire town, and when we got out of the lamburgini we were the only ones on the street. "Wow, spooky." Alainn said. "Where is everybody?" "It is after midnight, Alainn," Crescent said. Alainn said, "Aww, I don't think any ice cream places are open at this time of night." Donna smacked her on the head. "Let's go look for clues about Edward already."

We spread out and searched for clues. Donna went north, Alainn went east, Crescent went south, and I went west. The streets were wide and dark, and the yellow lines down the middle shone in the darkness like two luminesent fireflies streaking down the road. I hurried further and further down the dark road, and everything behind me got further and further away. The buildings around me were unfamiliar and scary as I looked around, not really sure what I was looking for. A vampire hideout? A pile of dead animals that Edward and the Cullens had fed on? A sign saying "Welcome to the Cullens's House"? I shook my head and continued sweeping my eyes over the dark and shadowy alley, knowing that whatever I was looking for would be clear as day when it showed up. All of a sudden, a huge figure swooped over me and landed on top of me. It was a vampire! Thankfully, he was also a vegetarian, because his eyes were all golden instead of red, but he was still attacking me! "HEEEELP!" I screamed. Suddenly the vampire was pulled off of me, and Crescent, Donna, and Alainn appeared. I carefully pulled myself off the ground and watched the four of them fight, but I was confused about why they were fighting. He was a vegetarian vampire, and so were they! What on earth do they have to fight about, and why would he attack me, if he doesn't eat human blood?

Suddenly I decided to voice my questions. "Why are you even fighting?" I asked loudly. "Because he attacked you!" Alainn, Donna, and Crescent shouted. At the same time, the other vampire shouted, "Because you're werwolves!" "We aren't werewolves! We're vampires!" Alainn yelled. "Oh yeah? Then why are you all full of the filthy stink of them?" the other vampire shouted. "Because we were fighting one, idiot!" Crescent yelled exasperatedly. "Oh." The other vampire said after a minute. "But what about this one? She clearly has a beating heart." He said, pointing an accusing finger at me. "Human. She was attacked by the werewolf, so we fought it." Crescent said irritatedly. "In that case, I apologize. The name's Franz." The vampire said. "Can I do anything to make this up to you?" Here Donna stepped in. "Yes, in fact you can. We're looking for a clan of vegetarian vampires known as the Cullens." She said before any of us could reply. "Oh, is that all?" Franz said. "You mean Carlisle and his family? Yeah, they passed through here a while back. I heard they were headed for Chicago?"

Chicago. I thought about it in my head. Edward is in Chicago. We can actually go to Chicago and find him? Just thinking about that made me realize that I might be able to get Edward back, since we knew where he had gone. It made me so happy, I began to weep silent tears of joy, because I finally could think about seeing Edward's face again.

"What's wrong, Bella? We know where Edward will be! You should be super HAPPY!" Alainn exclaimed. "No, you don't get it. I'm super happy right now. These are silent tears of joy I'm weeping, not silent tears of sadness." I said, while the silent tears continued to roll down my face like two happy springs bubbling through the mountains and streaming down to a lake at the bottom. I could finally allow myself to think about his pale white skin, his rosy, apple-like lips, and his magnicifent 8-pack abs. I remembered the time when he showed me how beatifully those 8-pack abs could sparkle in the sunlight, when he took me into the meadow and showed me what he looked like in the sun. It made me so excited to imagine that I could see that again soon, because we were going to find him in Chicago.

Suddenly, it hit me that he might not want to see me at all. He had left me, after all, and I had a strange feeling that I was too weak for him. My silent tears of joy turned into loud sobs of sadness, and I sank down to the ground in a puddle of despair. "What if he doesn't want to see me at all?" I said through my sobs. "He left me, and I feel like I'm too weak for him. I don't see why he would ever want me back!" Donna, Alainn, and Crescent all came over to comfort me. "Don't be stupid. Of course he'll want you. Once he realizes that you love him enough to go search him out and find him, it'll prove that you are so special, he could never stay away from you." Donna said. "Edward loves you! I know he does! Once he sees you again, he'll know that he should stay with you FOREVER!" Alainn exploded. Crescent just nodded and put a hand on my back.

As soon as my friends came over to comfort me I felt a lot better. They unclouded my brain and showed me that I was good enough for Edward and just imagining things. "Thank you, Franz." I said to Franz. "Happy to help." Franz said. "Sorry about attacking you because I thought you were werewolves." After saying goodbye to Franz, we made our way back into Donna's pink lamburgini and drove off into the rising sun.

*Franz's POV*

After meeting with Bella and her vampire friends, I began to walk back towards my house. Suddenly, I heard a loud noise, and a towering figure appeared behind me. I could smell the fowl stench of werewolf on it, much stronger than the scent on Bella. I turned around to fight it off, but it overpowered me with it's muscles and wresled me to the ground. "Get off of me, you monster!" I cried. "Not until you tell me what I need to know," it said. "I can smell them on you, so don't even try to lie."
