LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

Disclaimer: The Cullens, the Swans, and most of the characters mentioned in the story that are known from Stephanie Meyer's beloved Twilight Saga, are all hers and hers alone. I neither have nor wish to pass them off as mine. I do appreciate the fact that she did bring them to life and allows us to play with them in our imaginations. The only thing I will claim is the current storyline.

The Swans settled for the evening to have a nice quiet family night while Alice returned home to let Esme and Rosalie know how her visit had gone. Also, how she had set up for everyone to be innocently involved in the two women's lives. Once that was done and met with approval a call was made to LA to let the guys know how things were going and what all had been achieved. To say that Edward and Alex were excited about the outcome would be understating the issue. But, it wouldn't be much longer before everyone was united again.

Upon arriving in Forks, there was no hint that my little bitches are here. No one is talking about the big event of the Swans being here. That is something that could not be covered up if they had come here. So, with that in mind, I need to head back to LA and start over. Maybe they returned home to San Francisco. Yeah, that is would be the best place to check next.

So, off he went to San Francisco to look for clues of where Bella and Sasha are hiding.

CHAPTER 10: THROUGH ACCIDENT DO WE STAY SAFE

Time passed slowly, but, peacefully for Bella and Sasha. They were able to relax and enjoy their time with family. What with wandering down memory's path, taking a walk through the woods at the back of the house, and driving into Seattle and once to Olympia with Charlie and Renee, both girls enjoyed their time just being two young ladies. Time was approaching for them to return to San Francisco and pick up the threads of their lives once again, but, not for a few more days. Total they were planning to spend two weeks in Forks.

No, the term 'fun in the sun' couldn't be applied to Forks, but, that didn't matter; it was fun with the family' and relaxation time. And they were enjoying it to the full extent. It was the period of what might be classified as the calm before the storm. But, what they didn't know, didn't know didn't cause them worry for anyone.

Alice and Rosalie came over to invite Bella and Sasha for a girl's day out, which they accepted. They thought it would be fun to go out with other females close to their own age. So, off they went to Portland for shopping and a show with a last minute decision to stay overnight since it was so later. It was a long drive back to Forks after all. Bella called her parents to let them know and said she would see them in the morning.

The week passed with calm, easy going quietness. Both Bella and Sasha were relaxed and ready for the coming weeks ahead of work and school. They had heard nothing more about the incident in Los Angeles, so, that passed out of mind. Not even thinking that it was a warning of things to come. But, at the end of the week there were four things that came, the Cullen men. Esme, Rosalie and Alice were excited about it.

Both the Cullen women and the two Swan women had only been in Forks a week, but, the Cullen house was in complete order within forty eight hours after their arrival. It was a pleasure having Bella and Sasha over and getting to know them so much better. They blended in well with the family; Esme could see that and approved of Edward's and Alex's choices. There was no doubt in her mind that the two couples were destined as mates.

As the weekend neared a sudden burst of attention attacked Forks due to the arrival of the band Speed. As all referred to them as hometown boys like they had been born and grew up there. However, Bella and Sasha chose to stay out of the limelight to still keep their presence as low key as possible. And so far that had been accomplished. Right now, while the whole town was making a fool of itself over Speed, the girls were in their workroom behind the house, sitting a little ways off into the forest area. This was where they worked best with their music.

A lot of their own songs they wrote recorded and performed. But, now that they were getting older, Sasha wanted to bow more out of the singing side and stay with the management and writing side of things. Bella enjoyed the performing and writing, but, did want to be able to teach a little later in life after the appeal of the music business wore thinner. At least, this was the future they had planned. For they each knew that you could be on top today but wake up on the bottom the next. It was good to have something stable to fall back on. True they had their songwriting and it paid quite well, but, there were other things of value in life that could be just as important and rewarding. And both girls were preparing for that.

They had been in their little workroom most of the day, so, were not aware of that Alice and Rosalie had stopped by to visit. Renee had told them that the two were working and did not do well with any sort of disturbance when they were in their little room, as she termed it. Alice asked that she let them know of the call and then left.

Finally all of the Cullens were together again and ready to be brought up to date as to all of the happenings both here and in LA. Carlisle let the three women know that nothing new had been found and still no idea who or why. The place was completely clean of fingerprints other than what belonged there and nothing missing as far as they could tell. A company from San Francisco had come and packed all of the girls things up and remove it all back to their home. Then the women let them know that so far everyone was very unaware that the Swans were home for a visit. Both Bella and Sasha hold kept their presence hidden. Alice let them know that Esme, Rosalie and she had made friends with both of the young women and that they had been over often to visit.

"Where are they right now?" Asked Alex.

"Well, Rosalie and I went over earlier to see about bring them back here, but, Mrs. Swan said they were in their workroom working and didn't want to be disturbed, but, she would let them know that we had been by after they got through." As she got through telling them this, they had such looks of disappointment on their faces that she had to chuckle.

"It's not funny, Alice. You have Jasper and we are still trying to get close to these two. The only time was at the theater and then not even much for proper conversation at the time."

"All right. Give me a minute and I'll call to see if they have stopped for now." She dialed and listened for the call to be answered.

"Hello?"

"Chief Swan, this is Alice, I was just call to see if it would be possible to speak with Bella or Sasha?"

"Sorry, Renee says they left about ten minutes ago heading for Seattle for the night. They are calling to let us know where they will be staying once they get there.

"I see. Okay, thank you."

After getting off the phone she turned to the family and said, "Well, you heard that bit of information."

"Why are they running around on their own when a maniac is out to get them?" Alex worried.

"Don't they understand the meaning of the word 'caution'?"

"Alice, can you see where they might be?"

"No, not yet. They really have not made any definite decisions about where to stay or what they are going to do. They only got out as a break from work and that was a spur of the moment decision. That's why I didn't see it."

'I have been here for a week and no closer to find where they are then when I was in Forks. Shit, where could they be? Surely someone has seen the Swans for some kind of fan activity.' He kept trying, but, couldn't even turn up the home address for the little bitches. It was really starting to send him into overdrive. When that happens something or rather, someone pays the price. And the longer it took him to locate them the worse it was going to get.

The last place he had to try and find out anything was the was UCSF. May I can get the address from there. At least he was assuming that that was the university the two went to. He knew they had courses from here, but, that was all he knew. But, just like everywhere else he had tried it was still a dead-end. 'Where the hell can they be?'

Up ahead he say a young coed walking back towards her dorm. She looked like Sasha Swan with her curvy build, small frame and with auburn hair. He followed in the shadows until he had gotten ahead of her. He managed to hide in the bushes on a curve that she had to come around. Just as he saw her, he allowed two steps pass his position then he struck. Clamping a hand over her mouth he drug her into the bushes. No was around to see the attack and the area was desert at that time of the evening anyway.

As he got her deeper into the wooded area he reached down while maintaining a tight hold of the hand across her mouth. He found the rag he was looking for and grabbing it stuffed it into her mouth. Next, very quickly he threw her down face first onto the ground planting his knee into her back while pulling her hands behind and using duck tape to restraint her. After that he put duck tape across her mouth to hold the rag firmly in place.

"Well, my little bitch, you are not the one I want, but, you will do for now. Get ready to let me have my fun." He whispers to her.

He turns her over while pulling a knife from his pocket and beginning cutting her clothes from her body. She tries to fight, but, he only laughs as he uses his fist to slam into her face. Not once or twice, but, four times. He laughs and then gets back to what he was intent upon in the first place.

The next morning a young freshman was on the way to class coming through that section of campus and happened upon the body. He quickly call security, the police and an ambulance. But, it was no good; the young girl was in a coma and declared DOA at the hospital. She had been raped multiple times, along with beaten in the face, chest and stomach area. Also, cut on her arms, hands, thighs and feet. The only word for it was tortured to death.

A/N: So, far Bella and Sasha have remained undetected by the stalker, leaving him puzzled as to their whereabouts. This is good for now, but, what is going to change? What is going to be his next move? He is really getting out of hand now. Is this what he has planned for Bella and Sasha? Will the Cullens, or the police be able to keep them safe? Will Bella and Sasha be able to stay out of this person's way long enough for him to be caught? Who is he by the way and why is he so intent on our two girls?
