"Carlisle," I yelled as I walked into the hospital.
"Sara," he smiled, "what do we owe the pleasure of having you here." It was still weird to hear the way Carlisle talked. Always so proper. It has everything to do with the fact that he's from a completely different century.
"Actually, I came to ask for a favor."
"Of course, anything."
"Trisha has a date tomorrow night and well, she wanted me to come with her. So, I was hoping you could let Embry off so we could go."
"I would be happy to, but Embry is not working tomorrow."
"Really? I thought he was scheduled."
"He was. But Sara," he paused with much hesitation to finish his sentence. "He has not shown up in the last week."
"Oh. Well, then I'll go find him."
"Okay. Please, let him know that we miss him around here."
"Will do. I'll catch you later, Carlisle."
"I will see you later, Sara."
I can't believe it. Embry hasn't shown up for his internship. That's just too weird. He loves working at the hospital. Was it really that bad that he would just throw everything he worked for all away. Could I have really screwed things up that badly with him. I walked to my truck and headed to the Cullens' house. Maybe, just maybe, Alice has seen something.
It took me about fifteen minutes to get to the Cullens' house. I knocked on the door and just walked in. They never kept their door locked. No one ever really bothered the Cullens. People around here thought they were weird. So Edward has heard in people's minds.
"Alice," I shouted, "are you home?"
"Alice went hunting," I heard.
"Rosalie," I wondered, "what are you doing back from Africa?"
"Just wanted to come visit."
Rosalie and I still didn't get along all that well. It was the whole vampire-wolf rivalry. I didn't hold it against her. Edward said she was starting to warm up to us though. She just needs time.
"That's cool. Do you know when Alice will be back?"
"Soon, I think. She left about two hours ago."
"Oh, okay. Well, can you tell her I stopped by. I need to speak to her."
"It's about her vision, isn't it?"
Alice had a vision? What the hell? When and why hadn't she told me? Was it about Embry? "What vision," I finally asked Rosalie.
"She said we're all in trouble. She just doesn't know what, how or when. That's really why I'm back. She said it's crucial that I come back."
"What? I don't get it. How would you guys be in trouble?"
"Not just us. Both Paul and Jacob's wolf pack, too."
I couldn't believe it. What could be so bad that a bunch of vampires and wolves wouldn't be able to handle? I don't like this one bit.
