Hey (again). I guess I have to write another chapter because this idea is eating at me!! Here we go.

Disclaimer: I feel fantastic. (Considering I have Edward tied up in my basement). Huh? You want me to write a disclaimer? Oh, well, I may have him in my basement but I don't OWN him. Happy now?

I jumped up off of Edward's lap and ran across the room to Carlisle.

"Oh God Carlisle. Look at it! I need to know if I'm a reaper." I gagged and ran my hands through my hair. My breathing quickened and I yelled: "Oh my god. If I'm a reaper that nightmare man is SO DEAD! Am I lusting for blood? Oh God. Don't anyone come near me! I might snap and eat you all! Agh! Do I look like him? Is my body cold? Am I GOING TO DIE?!" I felt cold hands press at the small of my back and Edward wrapped me in a comforting hug. (A/N: Ha Bella. Flip out why dontcha?)

"Bella, my sweet. I'm sure you're fine. No you will not lust after blood. Emmett is just one for drama." I scowled at Emmett but he just waved at me. "I still want Carlisle to look at, just in case. I nodded feeling my hysteria sizzle and burn out. I walked closer to Carlisle and he pressed his fingers to the hollow of my neck.

"It looks fine Isabella," He remarked. "We just need to cover it with a band aid so it doesn't get infected." I nodded and he walked into the kitchen. (A/N: Band aids cure everything! Yay!)

Turning around and looking at everyone in the room, I turned bright red. "Well, erm, sorry for that little outburst."

"Outburst? More like hysterical breakdown." Rosalie commented.

"Yeah thanks, Rosalie, I love you too." I stuck my tongue out at her and took the band-aid from Carlisle when he handed it to me. "Pink polka dots?" I giggled and looked down at the band aid I was holding.

"Hey! I like pink!" Alice said. We all laughed and she said she was going to go the bathroom, before leaving.

"Now back to business, ladies and gentlemen." Carlisle started.

"You forgot Edward."

"Shut up Emmett."

After everyone was sitting, Carlisle began again. "Now we must figure out how we will get Charlie back. Edward, I want you and Jasper to track Nathaniel while the rest of us think up a plan. Call me on your cell phone, Edward, when you figure out where Nathaniel is." Edward and Jasper both nodded before departing. I silently wished Edward luck and hoped he wouldn't get hurt.

"Bella I want you to go with Alice to Seattle. Go to a hotel and lie low. I don't want anyone coming after you." Alice nodded and I started to protest but she clamped a hand over my mouth and walked me out to her car. After a few minutes of driving she turned to me.

"I told Emmett to call me if anything progresses, so we'll always be in touch with him." She smiled. "Don't worry, Bella, we'll get Charlie back." I smiled solemnly at her and turned to look out the window.

When we finally got there Alice picked the nicest hotel she could find and checked in. We got into a suite because the boy working the front desk was the same age as Alice, and impervious to her charms. Settling into our room Alice hummed a tune and told me I should take a shower to get my mind off of things.

I went into the bathroom and grabbed a towel, turning on the water and testing it to see if it was hot yet. I stepped in and let the water run down my body, thinking of Edward. (A/N: Stop thinking like that! Get your mind out of the gutter!)

When I was finished I stepped out and towel dried my hair before brushing it, being careful to get all of the tangles out. (A/N: Me, as the author wouldn't really know, because I have short hair. It only goes an inch below my earlobe.) Soon I heard Alice's voice drifting in from the other room and I went to see if Emmett had called. Hearing her frustrated voice, I stopped in the doorway, listening to her conversation.

"What do you MEAN he could be dead?!"

OMG! Another cliffy. So sad... I'm gonna go eat some pie and when I come back I expect REVIEWS by the TRUCKLOAD!
