Speed
They weren't here. What was she going to do? Did she really expect to see them here? It was too early for them to move back. Too many people would remember. In the back of her mind she had hoped she was wrong. But by the smell of things the whole family hadn't been here together since they left her as a human. She could catch a scent of one or two of them that was stronger, suggesting some of them came back every now and then. But not for the last five years at least.
She sat in the middle of the family room, on the floor ignoring the sheet covered couches. She rocked back and forth her knees pulled up around her, concentrating. 'Ian. Ian. Move. Please move.' The little heart inside her gave a weak flutter than went back to a lazy pattern of beats every minute or so.
Where should she go now? They had never mentioned any other places they lived. Wait! What about Denali? It wasn't a permanent residence for them, too many of them in one place would raise questions, but he mentioned they liked to visit. Even if the Cullens weren't there the Denali clan might know where they are. If she found a car fast enough to "borrow" she could get there in little over a day.
She barely let herself hope as she walked towards the Cullen's garage. Yes! Yes Alice had left her yellow Porsche she got as payment for watching her whenever Edward was being paranoid. 'Too conspicuous' she once called it, but she still loved the speed.
Though it pained her to admit it, after the change she had developed a taste for speed. And as she shifted into high gear she had to confess, despite the circumstances, she smiled.
