Chapter 7:

Missing

Edward and I went up into our bedroom and I curled up into his lap. I was scared. Scared at what was going to happen. Nothing in Alice's vision sounded good, and the point that the family could not think of any solutions or ideas to try to stop what ever was coming was no help. Edward looked down at me and I wished he would smile his perfect crocked smile at me and tell me everything was going to be ok. But he didn't, and I knew it wouldn't be.

"Edward, what are we going to do?" I questioned him, a pleading look in my eyes.

"I don't know Bella, I really do…" But he was cut off by an ear-shattering scream that came from downstairs.

"Bella, Edward, hurry!" I heard Alice scream. Edward and I raced down the stairs, slightly frightened by Alice's worried tone.

"What is it Alice?" Edward asked, trying to sound calm.

"It's, its EVAN!" She screamed.

"What, where is Evan?" I asked, beginning to get worried.

"That's the whole problem!" She said. "I don't know. He was just here, saying something about everyone needing to get that hair for Edward, and then I turned around and he was gone. Now we can't find him anywhere."

"He has to be here somewhere Alice. He wouldn't just disappear." I said as I began to look for Evan.

"The whole family looked everywhere Bella, we can't find him." Alice whimpered. And that's when it dawned on me. Alice couldn't see Evan. She was blind. The only thing that could make her blind was… was…

"Bella what's wrong?" Edward asked, worried.

"Werewolves."

"What?" Edward said.

"He is with Amy." I said and I saw it dawn on Alice and then Edward that this theory made perfect sense.

"We have to go get him. Now." I said as I started to sprint out the door. Edward followed behind me and soon Alice joined him. I took off into the air, and only beat Edward and Alice to Jacob's house by a few seconds.

"JACOB!" I screamed, and a slightly scared Jacob ran out the door.

"What is it Bella?" He asked, seeming edgy. "I don't really have time right now…" He said while looking towards the forest.

"Evan is missing we think he is with Amy." I said, trying to remain calm.

"So that's where she is." Jake muttered under his breath.

"Amy's missing too?" Edward asked, and I could see Jake start to shake.

"Yes, has been for hours. We have looked everywhere. I never thought she would be with Evan." Jake said slightly confused.

I quickly told Jake about Alice's vision and confusion spread across his astonished face.

"I think what Alice saw is going to happen a lot sooner than what we had thought." I said as I turned to look at Edward. But something was wrong. He was shaking violently and had a glazed over look in his eyes which were slowly turning to a stormy blue.

"Edward, Edward, what's wrong?" I questioned him as I grabbed onto his arm but he tossed me off to the side, flinging me to the ground.

"Edward." I whispered. Jake was really shaking now; I had to get him to cool down.

"Jake, don't, it's ok…" I started to say as I reached for him. But I was too late he had already transformed into a wolf and lunged himself at Edward.

Then the strangest thing happened. A burst of power flew out of Edward and threw Jacob back against the house. Edward looked possessed, and I knew Alice's vision was coming true.

Evan and Amy were out in the woods somewhere. My Evan was trying to save his dad from this. But it was already happening.

Another burst of strange power flew out from Edward pushing me several feet back. Edward's hands clenched into fists and his muscles tightened. This was not the Edward I knew and loved, and I was scared at what was going to happen.

I looked up at his face and saw his eyes soften and some of the topaz color return to them as he looked at me.

"Bella…I'm…I'm…sorry…save…me!" He sputtered out, struggling with each word before his eyes glazed over again and returned to that stormy blue color I now hated. With that a larger blast of power emitted from him and it seemed to shake everything. Then it got dark for a few slow seconds. This must be the tremor Alice saw in her vision. When I could see again I saw a tree snap in two before another wave of power emitted from Edward, shaking the ground and making everything dark.

What was happening? Edward looked at me once more and his eyes turned steely his muscles tightening even more. It looked like he was trying to fight. Fight what ever was forcing him to do this. Another tremor shook the ground and when the lights were out this time, I thought of a solution. It was so simple I couldn't believe I hadn't thought of it before.

I needed the vial. The vial that Evan now had and was trying to complete by adding Amy's hair. It was the cure for everything that was happening. As I looked up at Edward one last time, before I ran to go find Evan, I knew that the task ahead was not going to be easy. I could only hope it would turn out ok.
