Edward:
A day after our search of Bella's house, Charlie files a missing persons report. He's absolutely devastated, but he tries not to show it. I can hear his thoughts, though, and it pains me.
I'm devastated, too. A part of me believes that Bella can't be dead. But some part of me doesn't want her to be a vampire. I wanted to be the one to change her. If she is part of this newborn army, who knows what my sweet, loving, kind Bella will become.
"Edward, I've had another vision." Alice thinks, before showing me said vision.
In the vision, Bella is sat in a forest, with 3 other people. I recognise the one as Bree Tanner, a girl from Seattle who recently went missing. I didn't recognise the other two, who were men.
That was the entire vision, but I didn't care how short it was. It showed me that my Bella was still alive. Well, as alive as a vampire can be.
"Do you know where that forest was? Who were the two men? Why were they away from the other newborns? What were they doing?" I bombarded Alice with all the questions that were running through my mind.
"The forest is somewhere on the outskirts of Forks. The two men were Diego and Fred; I don't know their last names. I think they were hunting. And I think they were just talking. At least Bella is making friends." Alice answers.
"Making friends? MAKING FRIENDS? Bella is part of a newborn army, but, oh, what a joy, she's making friends." I mock while the rest of the family join Alice and I.
"Edward, calm down. What's happening?" Alice explains everything to Carlisle, while Jasper tries to calm me down. I end up pacing around the living room.
"We have to go and find her!" I shout once Alice is finished.
"Son, this could be a trap. We need to keep our family safe." Carlisle says. A part of my brain says he's being sensible, logical, but another part just wants to do anything to find Bella.
"Bella is part of our family, and she isn't safe!" I protest. Alice cuts in before anyone else can reply to my outburst.
"She is safe. Well, as safe as she can be at the moment. The other newborns are different; they don't like the fighting life. Bree and Diego are mates, but they won't find out yet. Bella is safe with the other three. So, yes, it is good Bella is making friends." Alice says, poking me in the chest when she proves me wrong.
"I'm just worried about her. She's my mate. I should have changed her." Pretty much everyone rolls their eyes at me.
"The most important thing is that she's alive. Now, let's go back to looking at motives. I don't think their leader new who Bella was, but their idea is to target us." Jasper says. We all run into our dining room, where we have laid out paper and plans regarding Bella's whereabouts and reasons for a newborn army being created.
"Maybe they want the area?" Emmett suggests.
"No, it's more than that. They must know we don't hunt humans. This isn't over land. What else is here?" Jasper answers.
"Maybe it's to do with the werewolves?" Carlisle adds.
"That's a reasonable suggestion. I just think it's more than that." Jasper says back. Well this is going well.
"What about Bella? Maybe it's something to do with her. Maybe they're working for the Volturi and they know that Bella knows about vampires, so they've come to kill us." Rosalie says. We all look at her, and I can see the wheels turning in Jasper's head.
"But why wouldn't they just come and kill us?" Jasper asks Rosalie.
"They have history with Carlisle. They don't want to have to kill a friend." Rosalie quickly replies.
"But a newborn army goes against all their rules." Jasper fires back.
"They aren't associating themselves with this army. No one would know. Then, they can just dispose of the remaining newborns afterwards." Rosalie answers calmly.
"Why would they go to all this trouble?" Jasper asks. I can see and hear that he's running out of problems with her ideas.
"Maybe they don't like whoever is in charge of the army, and they can use this as an excuse to kill them." Rosalie says.
"I think that is a reasonable suggestion." Jasper finally relents.
"What do we do now, then? Fight the newborn army?" Emmett breaks the silence.
"We don't know how strong they are. And if the Volturi are behind this, they might be waiting for us to fight." I say, and everyone looks at me.
"Yes, that's a good idea." Jasper agrees.
"So what do we do about Bella?" Esme asks.
"We break her out. We find the location of the newborn army, find Bella, and take her home. Bree, Diego and Fred can come with us if they want, too." Alice says, surprising us all. "Eh, Jasper's tips have rubbed off on me."
"Let's do that then. Right, so, we know the newborns have got to be around Forks, in a forestry area because of Alice's vision." Jasper says.
So, for the next few hours, we look at maps and plot several areas where the newborns could be.
I just hope we find Bella soon.
A/N: What do you think of Rosalie's idea? :D
Bella's chapter is next, so we might find out if she's right soon! :P
Review please :)
