Bella POV (earlier in the bathroom)

As soon as I was in the bathroom I closed and locked the door. I had to text someone to tell them where I was. Angela, I thought.

Edward's back, we're going to skip the rest of the day. He needs to tell me some stuff. We're in the dorm room.

When I sent it I was a bit relieved yet still tense. I walked out of the bathroom.

"So, what's going on?"

"Another vampire is after you." He said softly.

I didn't say anything at first, still trying to process the information. He didn't come back for me; he came back because he felt sorry for me.

"Oh," I whimpered.

"You have a blood sucking vampire after you and all you can say is "oh"?" Edward said through his teeth.

I was taken back by his hostility. "I wasn't really looking at it like that." I replied. Edward snorted…actually snorted at me. I turned away angrily. "Do you know what she wants? Or does she hate me because of you?" I hissed.

"She actually hates you because of the dog." I turned quickly.

"You saw Jake?" He nodded. "Where is he?"

"I believe he went home. His thoughts were "it's my problem now"."

I didn't believe him. "Jake wouldn't say that."

"You're right, he didn't say that." Edward said coldly. I frowned, not understanding. "He did however, think it."

"What do you mean he thought it?" I asked warily.

Edward sighed uncomfortable. "I can read minds." I gasped, he could hear my thoughts?! "No! I can't read your thoughts!" I sighed in relief. "I'm not sure why, however, I do know you're my singer also."

"Singer?"

"Yes, it's when a human's blood smells the best out of the best. You smell so…wonderfully. You can't imagine how tough it was when I first got here." Edward docked his head and spoke softly. "I swear if I couldn't hold my breath for a long time…I would have killed you."

I just looked at him. His head was bowed but I could see the look of torture on his face. I caught between being frightened and being sorry that my blood smelled so good to him. However, what came out of my mouth was far from what either of us had expected.

"Is that why you always kept the fan on?" He opened his eyes and gazed at me in shock. I was just as shocked, but I had to know. "You always kept it on and the windows open."

He didn't speak for a while but still had his eyes locked on mine. "I…uh… Well, yes, your scent would lessen if the fan was on."

"Oh," I replied.

"You're reactions never cease to amaze me," he laughed lightly.

"So, what are we going to do about the vampire situation?"

"My family is coming here to protect you. Meaning you will never be out of our sight until she's killed." Edward muttered darkly.

I nodded. "What exactly did Jake do to make her come after me?"

Edward shrugged. "Nothing really. She wants a challenge. I think she finds it amusing that both a vampire and a werewolf find you interesting. At least interesting enough to hang around you."

"When will they be here?"

Edward glanced down at his clock. "They should be here within the next hour." There was a knock at the door. Edward smirked. "Or now."

Edward answered and a black hair pixie walked in first. She lightly danced her way to me. "Hi, Bella. I'm Alice, Edward's sister."

"Hi," I said politely.

Behind her was a very very large man with brownish subtle curls. "Hey, Bella! I'm Emmet and this is y wife Rosalie." He pushed a tall blonde, absolutely gorgeous woman towards me.

"Hello, Bella." She spoke firmly then made her way over to the side of the room with another blonde only male. He had curly hair, a bit more curly than Emmett's. He stood to the side with Alice holding her hand. Alice let go of his hand moved again towards me.

"That's my husband Jasper; he's still a bit new to our way of feeding." Alice smiled lightly then moved back to her place beside him.

Way of life? I guess I'll have to ask Edward about that later. Husband? Wife? Vampires, probably older than look.

"Bella?" I turned to face Edward who was standing beside a dark haired woman and Carlisle. "These are our parents, well, parent figures." Edward smiled brightly at them then back at me. "You already know Carlisle."

Carlisle smiled softly then stuck out his hand. I had taken it without question. "Hello again, Bella. Wonderful to see you, however, I wish they were on better circumstances." I nodded. He gestured for the dark hair woman to come closer. She kept her eyes locked on mine, almost testing the waters, as they say.

I gave her a slight smile to encourage her. She smiled even wider, knowing what I was doing. "Bella, this is my wife Esme." Carlisle spoke.

"It is very nice to know you," her voice was soft yet firm, just the mother type. As she stuck out her hand to shake mine, I responded.

"Thank you, it's very nice to meet you too."

We then heard someone gasp loudly. I dropped Esme's hand quickly, thinking I had done something wrong. However, when I looked over it was Alice who had gasped. Jasper was setting her down on Edward's bed. Alice's eyes were tightly shut.

"What's wrong? Is she ok?" I was panicking. Why wasn't anyone doing anything?

"Bella, it's ok," Edward said soothingly. "She's just having a vision."

I looked at him oddly. "A vision?"

"Alice can see the future. She actually had a vision telling me that another vampire is after you, so I had to come back."

Great, another reason for him to actually be here for me, I thought depressingly. "Oh," I mumbled.

I looked back at Alice to see that her face wasn't as scrunched up as before. She looked calmer. Without opening her eyes she spoke. "Edward I need a word outside."

Edward POV

"Edward I need a word outside." I nodded as soon as Alice opened her eyes. We made our way outside, but I couldn't help but look at Jasper. The look I gave him made him bow his head in shame.

I won't do anything, I promise. I heard him say in his mind. I nodded and continued out with Alice.

I stopped out in the hall and turned to Alice. She shook her head. Catching her meaning I directed her to the elevator. Once on the main level I lead her outside to the benches.

"Edward she doesn't think you're here for her." Alice said as soon as we sat down.

"What do you mean? Of course I'm here for her." I gave Alice a confused look.

"You know that, I know that, but she doesn't know that." Alice laid her hand over mine. "Edward, if you don't tell her, she's going to the vampire herself."

I frowned. "I wouldn't let her. I won't let her out of my site." I stated firmly.

"How do you know that she can't get by you? What if she picks a fight, then leaves, then gets caught?" I clenched my fist. "There are a lot of what ifs but you know that I only have visions of the big what ifs." I sighed in defeat. She was right. "We're going to be staying at the hotel the school has set up for family when they visit. You need to tell her." Alice got up from the bench and walked back to the dorm rooms.

I sat on the bench for a little bit longer trying to think of a way to explain everything to Bella.

Bella POV

After Alice and Edward left I had no choice but to converse with his family. Awkward silence…great.

"So Bella, how long have you gone to this school?" I looked up to see Emmett staring at me. I felt the blush rush into my cheeks, I hate being the center of attention.

"Umm, I've went here since ninth grade." I answered. Emmett smiled and nodded. "Uh, do you all live together?"

Carlisle answered. "We mostly do. Emmett and Rosalie sometimes take an extra honeymoon and go off somewhere. But other than that we stick together." I could tell Carlisle was trying to lighten up the mood and for that I was grateful.

"Well, I wasn't sure. Edward came here alone." I commented.

"Edward wanted some time to himself. We all are married and… you know. With Edward having the mind reading thing doesn't really help." I gazed at Emmett in shock. I couldn't believe he just said that. Rosalie must have noticed my expression because she smacked Emmett on the back of head. "ROSE?!"

"You're freaking her out." She stated.

"It's ok; I just didn't really expect that answer." Emmett smiled while Rosalie just glared at him.

Alice entered the room then. "Bella, I think you better go down stairs. He's in front of the building, on the benches."

I nodded and made my way quickly out of the room. Seeing that the elevator was crowded I decided to take the stairs. However, there was a sign on the stairwell door reading "keep out". I frowned understanding why the elevator was so crowded. Pressing the down button I looked out the hallway window. Dark clouds were just overhead.

Great, another storm. Just what we all need now, I thought miserably. When the thought was finished the lights flickered. Thunder rumbled and caused the window and probably the whole building to shake. Rain could be heard from the ceiling and through the window. More lighting and thunder then blackness.

"Just great," I sighed. Wanting to make sure Edward was ok, I took the stairs. Being on the top floor (fifth floor) wasn't the greatest. Bouncing down the first three flights nothing seemed wrong with the stairs. Just before I turned to go down onto the second floor stairs, there was no stairs. Holding on to the rail desperately I looked down. There on the ground floor were the remains of stairs. Nothing but gravel and dust.

What the hell happened?

Upholding my title as a klutz I slipped. I reached out to grab the broken off rail. However, I was losing my grip.

"Bella," I heard someone call my name. I wasn't prepared for facing the person who called my name. There on the third floor was Mike. But there was something wrong with him. All of his casting was gone. He looked ghostly pale. He looked more muscular. He didn't look like Mike at all. However, it was his eyes that confirmed everything. His eyes were a blood red. Not a human, obviously, I thought. "I got you, Bella." He grinned and pulled me up.

"Th-thanks," I said softly.

Mike chuckled darkly. "Well, now you can repay me. Not only for what your Edward did but for saving your life also."

My eyes widen before he threw me over his shoulder and jumped down the two flights of stairs.
