Chapter Nine

I ran as fast as I could to the Volvo, Alice and Jasper close behind. As soon as I got into my car I quickly started it and drove off in a blur.

There was a slight overcast but it didn't look like it would rain anytime soon, thank God.

We got home just in time to see Carlisle just leaving for work. Alice quickly jumped out with Jasper trailing behind her.

I could tell from the inside of my car that Alice was filling Carlisle in on what she saw. A look of horror crossed his face as she dropped her head.

She was dead.

I shook my head and slammed the door to my car as I got out.

"Bella's going to be fine." I said as I walked pass the three of them

Alice just nodded and smiled a sympathetic smile.

God, I hope she will be.

We can't lose Bella, again.

The last thought came from Carlisle, who I could feel watching me walk into the house.

I ran up to my room, blowing swiftly pass Rosalie and Emmett as they walked out of the kitchen.

I slammed the door and quickly paced around my room, thinking of a plan, any plan would do at the time, preferably a plan to save Bella and kill the monster who took her.

Alice walked in at that moment and pushed me on my leather couch. Her thoughts were scrambled up into little nothings. I could barely make out what she was thinking. And for once I figured out that Alice was thinking too much.

"Okay, here's what we'll do," She said as she walked back and forth in front of me. "Me, Rosalie, Emmett and Esme will go out to try and look for Bella while you stay here with Jasper and Carlise." She said loudly, clearing taking charge of the plans to get Bella safely back home.

I stood immediately. "No, i'm coming to help you folks look."

Alice just shook her head. "Edward listen, if Bella comes back here, which I certainly think she is because of my vision,"

I rolled my eyes.

"Carlisle will be here to help her and from the condition I saw her in,"

I growled.

She continued talking. "I really don't think she would just have walked here. Someone had to either drop her off or something. I'm still unsure of why she would be on our porch in the first place, though."

"Alice, I can't just stay here, waiting. It's Bella we're talking about here." I yelled.

Just then Rosalie came into the room. "Exactly, it's Bella. Bella! Bella! Bella! Bella! Bella!" She nagged.

She walked over to my couch and took a seat. Crossing her legs, she looked evily up at me.

"Once again we must put our lives on the line for some human girl." She snapped.

Alice held me back as I was about to lunge at her.

"Rosalie Hale. I can't believe i'm hearing this." Esme squacked as she gracefully strode into my bedroom. "How could we possibly beputting ourselves in danger? We have done this before, we shall do it again if we must." She looked at me and smiled.

Rosalie stood then. "Look," She said glaring at me. "I'm happy that you have finally found love, Edward." She started walking towards the door. "But I am not going to be involved in this." She added as she disappeared into the hallway.

Esme crept out after her and Alice grabbed my hand.

"Don't worry. I promise you, this plan will work." She smiled up at me and I nodded, once again, in defeat.

"Alice sees rain tomorrow." Emmett said as I walked pass him to go onto the porch.

"Bella where are you?" I said aloud as I sat down.

Alice if you don't tell Edward, I will.

He won't like it. I think I should just wait this one out.

Jasper you better talk some sense into her.

Alice just go and tell him, he'll be happy about it, I guess, in a very small way.

I stood and walked into the house, Alice quickly turned and met my gaze. She walked over to me and sat me down on the piano bench.

"Okay, I just got another vision about Bella again." She started saying.

I waved my hand in front of me, motioning for her to continue.

"Something happened that changed the vision I had about Bella being dead." She said slowly.

"She's alive?" I asked, confused.

She nodded.

"Well, where is she? Let's go get her." I stood and started for the door, Alice caught my arm.

"Wait, there's more." She said sitting me back down.

"What is it? Alice you better tell me now!" I shouted becoming impatient with her.

"Okay, Okay." She sighed. "It was still raining, so i'm almost certain that she will be here tomorrow."

She stopped and sucked in an artificial breathe before continuing.

"Edward," She paused.

"She was changing into one of us."

Hey All,

Well, I finally got the ninth chapter up. Yipee for me! I got a lot of material while I was up in the mountains. I'm still in the process of typing out all the things I wrote up there. I had to write it all in my notebook (almost half the book) so i'm still pretty much just reading and revising it so that it's perfect when I put it up here. I'll have the tenth chapter up as soon as I can.
