Denali

The Cullens were not in Denali! As Bella sat outside, peeking into the vamps home from the mountain top she was hiding on. She tried to think of what to do next. Should she go up to them and ask the Denali clan where the Cullens were? That was the obvious answer. But something held her back. Even though she wanted to save her baby, she only wanted to involve Carlisle, and maybe Alice. There was no need for her to involve the others; especially him. She knew she was not wanted there. If she went up to the Denali clan they would obviously call the Cullen's and tell them what was going on. The whole family would get involved.

Come to think of it, why didn't they know already? Why hasn't Alice seen her searching for them? Was she not paying attention? Has she lost her touch?

Then it clicked. Werewolves! She's carrying a werewolf baby, Alice is blind to me! Huh, that was something to think about. But not now.

Now she needed to think about how she was going to find the Cullens. 'I wish the Denali's would just call the Cullens. Call the Cullens. Please call the Cullens!'

Suddenly the man she was watching through the window started in his seat. He looked up confused and reached into his pocket. 'Oh no! He's seen me!' Bella thought. From his pocket he pulled out a small cell phone. Straining hard, she could just hear him talk when he called.

"Hello, Carlisle? Yes it's Carmen. How are you? Good? That's great. How's the tour of the tropical rain forest going? That's great! What part are you in now? Africa! Wow, sounds exciting. I bet the new 'vegetarian' food your experiencing is pretty exciting! Well I'm glad to hear things are going well. Hey, bag a panther for me! Oh yea, Edward is doing fine. He just got here. Tanya is taking him out hunting. She'll get him to eat. Don't worry too much. Enjoy your trip. Well cyah."

She couldn't believe her luck! He called them on a whim. She was just thinking it and it happened. 'They're in Africa!' Bella thought in dismay. How much time does Ian have left? Can he make it? Already his heartbeat has become fainter.

The most pressing matter to take care of right away is that Edward was here. In Denali right this moment. Outside where he could catch her sent any moment and find her. Plus Alice's stolen car just a few miles away where she stashed it!

Time to go!
