Special thanks to those that review, I really appreciate it!!

Edward POV

I had a million thoughts going through my mind as I pushed the car faster. The least important of which was why anyone would invent an automobile that didn't go faster than 150mph. The pathetic vehicle was threatening to explode as I rounded the last of the curves and the driveway came into view. I knew they would all hear my approach; as if Alice hadn't already given them the exact time of my arrival.

There were no surprises as I parked the retched car and ran to the house; they were all there, gathered in the living room with their eyes to the door. Their thoughts however, were somewhat surprising. Esme was immediately concerned by my disheveled appearance. Edward really; you couldn't have eaten OR bathed in South America? You look terrible. Jasper was trying desperately to calm himself; the tension in the room was no doubt painful for him. I saw Alice gathering short bits and pieces of an uncertain future, but none were of any use so far and I shared her frustration. Emmett was of course in high spirits; happy that the family was together again. But Rosalie was different. She was…happy. I took a moment to hear her thoughts more specifically. Surely I can pack everything now. Edward and Carlisle will go back to Forks, see that Bella's crazy and needs us back, and then in a few days I'll be going home!! I really do need to get started on that packing though, maybe I'll buy some new luggage…

I focused on Carlisle now as I stepped through the door and crossed the room to the open chair near Esme. "Edward, it's good to have you back, even under unfortunate circumstances." Carlisle gave me a slight smile and showed me that his thoughts were hopeful. I've made some calls and I'm sure I can get her released immediately if we go to Forks and speak with the attending doctors there.

"We should leave now then," I felt like every moment that we wasted here was another moment of undeserved suffering for Bella. I heard Alice's thoughts begin to elevate.

"You need to decide what you're going to do when you get there before you actually leave."

"Why Alice? That's just wasting time. The sooner we leave, the better for Bella."

"That's what you said when you convinced all of us to abandon her in the first place, and look where that got us." I let out a low growl to let Alice know that I was fully aware of my previous statement.

"Edward relax," Carlisle quietly reproached me, "Alice has a point. You need to set out certain rules for this little visit. I'm up for anything personally. If you want to go back, get Bella released, and then have our family return to Forks to continue our life there, well that's wonderful. But you need to decide now, because you know that when you get there, and you see her, well, you know you won't be thinking as logically as you might now."

I hated to admit it, but Alice was right. But I couldn't think clearly now either. All I could see was Alice's vision of Bella, curled up and crying in a corner. I couldn't get it out of my head. I needed to save her. That was it. That was all I cared about. I needed to save her. "Look, I don't know exactly what's going to happen when I get there, but right now all I'm planning on is to go to Forks with Carlisle and get her out of that place. That's it right now. That's as much as I've thought it through. I don't have time to sit here and deliberate the best future course of action." I gave Carlisle a sharp look and he stood up and spoke softly with a small smile on his lips.

"Well I guess we had better be going then?"

I breathed a sigh of relief and stood up as well, ready to leave. I had to give a small laugh at Esme's next thought, "No, I don't have time for a shower." She gave me a mother's look and glanced at Carlisle.

"Edward, while you may want to leave immediately, I must refuse to accompany you until you've hunted." I felt the stab of hunger for the first time in weeks. "There's no way I'll allow you to be around humans in your condition. So, you'll eat," he glanced down at Esme, "and then shower, and then we'll leave." I opened my mouth to argue, but decided against it; I had already wasted enough time. I turned and bolted out the nearest door and into the depths of the surrounding forest. I wouldn't eat very much; just enough to take the edge off, I didn't have enough time to fully satiate my thirst. I'd just have to be strong until I had Bella safely with me and could hunt again.

I came across the path of a large herd of deer and took a few of them. When I felt only a tingle in my throat instead of the more pronounced burn that I'd become accustomed to, I turned back and ran for the house; eager to leave with Carlisle…

I know it's short - but I didn't have much time for this one. Hopefully will be adding again soon, let me know if you have any ideas, I'm open for suggestions right now
