Esme POV

"Well then what are we supposed to do?" Emmette was on the verge of attacking the house. "We can't just wait for them. They may already be dead! They should be back by now!"

That tore at my lifeless heart. What if they really were dead? I would never be happy again.

I turned my attention to Rosalie who was huddled in the corner drowning in guilt. She felt absolutely terrible about what happened. Though it may have been her fault, we couldn't let her suffer.

Jasper had informed us of the emotions that she was going through.

Guilt. Anger. Sadness.

Those were a mere few of the hundreds that were racking at her brain. I sighed in saddness. What was happening to our family?

"We can't just go to the Volturi and attack them. We wouldn't stand a chance in the slightest." The voice of my husband snapped me back from my thoughts.

I stared at the beautiful faces of my family. Jasper, his face painted with depression and utter panic for his wife. Emmett, his eyes ablaze with anger. And Carlisle, his face was composed. But I knew that he was going through the same.

We were all huddled in our living room, too anxious to sit still.

"Well we can't leave them! If there's the slightest chance that they're alive, we need to get our asses down there and rescue them!" Jasper was yelling now. What would happen if Alice was taken from his life? Would he stay apart of our family? Everybody knows that he is a vegetarian only for her. I flinched at the thought of what this would do to all of us.

I took a deep breath. I hated to be the one to inform my family of the chances of that. "It's been four days. Four days. We should have heard from them by now." I had no idea what I was getting at.

Carlisle took a deep breath. How would he find the wisdom to get us out of this? The chances of the rest of my family and Bella being alive were the slimest of the slim. Four days!

"Hold on, didn't Alice take her phone with her? Let me try it." I hopped up in surprise at my sudden idea.

I snatched the phone off the hook and dialed Alice's number.

Ring.

Ring.

Ring.

Ring.

Hello, you've reached Alice. I'm currently in Italy saving my idiot of a brother's ass with Bella. Please leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.

beeeeep.

I shook my head and sighed. The rest of my family had heard it as well.

I put my hands on my head and sat on a chair, racking my brain for any ideas.

Rosalie had began to let out small, dry sobs from the corner. I went over and laid my hand on her shoulder. "Shhhhh," I soothed. "It wasn't your fault."

She looked up at me, her eyes black. "Yes it was! It was all my fault!"

"We'll give them two days. Two days. If they havn't returned, then we're going to Volterra and kicking the Volturi's asses." Emmett said, comforting himself.

"I'm game." Jasper agreed, attempting to send a wave of calm around. But that was impossible considering his love was probably not alive. He ended up sending a wave of hysteria around.

Carlisle sighed. "I supposed that's the only option."

I nodded my head, and placed myself back on the expensive brown leather of our couch.


Charlie POV

Where the hell was my daughter?

I looked at my face in the mirror. It had taken on a tomato red, and the vein near my temple was pulsing.

I had broken down into a hysteric fit.

I scanned the extremely vague not again, looking for a clue. Anything.

There was nothing. I punched the wall. Bad idea. I doubled over as I yelped in pain. I could see the red outline of a bruise taking on. No father should have to go through this kind of thing with his daughter. How could she just leave?

How could she go off and save that boy who put her in so much pain? I could feel the beginning of a migrain tingling the sides of my fourhead. I massaged my temples and told myself to breath.

It had been four days. Four days.

Not a single phone call. I was going to murder her when she got back! Grounded for life.


Jacob POV

I growled to myself again. How could I have been so stupid? Letting her go of with that bloodsucker? She was probably rotting on the streets of Italy right now.

I shook the gruesome thought our of my mind and focused on my job: Circling Charlie's house...Protecting him as I had promised Bella.

How could this happen? If Bella hadn't jumped off the stupid cliff than we would probably be happily eating dinner at Emily's.

I had an anger spasm and ripped a branch off a nearby tree.

Crap, I though when I saw Charlie's chubby figure appear at the window.

I took off deeper into the woods and consumed myself in my thoughts.

Well, there ya go. Sorry I made Jacob's kinda short, I didn't really know what else to say and I want to get back to the Bella/Alice/Edward/Volturi action. PLEASE REVIEW!
