Okay for those of you wondering why this chapter is suddenly chapter twelve:

I made a mistake and put up the previous chapter, instead of this one, I 'm so sorry. This will explain how they found the shop and the other chapter called five is now renamed as "Seraphim".

Again I apologize.


Bella's POV

"Well here we are..." I sighed

We looked out of the streets of Singapore from the twenty-sixth room. Carlisle was in the other room looking at the phone book and searching for possible relations for the mysterious Seraphim, while Tanya and Carmen was looking online. Despite being in the suite you coudl feel the tension in the air, Alice had to get a wet towel to lay across his forehead.

Edward stood behind me and started to rub up and down my arms, after a while he spoke "I know, ALice is trying to find anything at all, but right now I have to go survey the streets for any thoughts, Sophia and Derek are coming, want to join?"

Anything to get out of this cramped room, "Sure."

A few minutes later we standing around the busy halls of the mall, unfamiliar scents and faces, gawking faces. Edward's face was full of deep concentration, sooner or later, Derek and Sophia had gone down another section of the mall. We patroled down endless halls, until he made an abrupt stop.

"Do you hear that?" he focused toward the end of the mall, blocking out the laughter, and carefree calls of the humans, you could hear a scream...of pain. We took off and headed toward where we heard the sound, as we got closer, the mix of scents faded into the air and one smell consumed the air-- blood. Anxiously, I glanced at Edward's face, he showed no emotion as the scent grew thicker. In a smaller hallway at the end, there lay a dead mortal and... a vampire.

The vamprie looked up at us and his eyes widened, he wheeled around and took off towards the end of the hall, we followed, but before he could reach the door, it opened. Sunlight filled the hall, our skins shined like diamonds.

We were exposed.

Third POV

"I found something," Carlisle bust out of the room, the phone book in his hand. Eleazar rushed to his side and glanced down where he had marked the page.

"How do you know?" was his answer.

"Didn't they use this last name before?"

"But there are three other entries with the same last names.."

"It wasn't hard to narrow it down," Carlisle shrugged, "One lives in Johor Baharu and the other owns a resurant, all the members of Seraphim burned even water.." he chuckled at the end.

"Well an antique shop does seem like Oliver's forte, shall we call Edward?"

"Already tried, their not answering they must be on a pursuit."

"Um, call the address, I'll tell Tanya to look this up, then hopefully Edward would have contacted us by then..."

"Right." The two went to inform they're families, each hoped that this would be it, it was their only lead.


Bella's POV

"We smelt the scent of blood..."

Sophia and Derek.

"About time," smirked Edward, trying to hide the relief that flooded from his eyes.

She shrugged as Derek went and grabbed the frozen enemy, "Who are you?" he said very slowly. The vampire pressed his lips tightly together, Sophia smiled and the vampire began to scream.

"Careful, just enough so the humans don't hear us," muttered Edward. She released him from the torture so Derek could ask again, "I believe I asked you your name." he said lightly.

"J-john," he gasped out, "John Silverman."

"Now we're getting somewhere, Bella go check the corpse," Edward said casually.

I walked back to the mouth of the hallway, no one had ventured this far to see the dead victim, I bent down and touched her neck feeling for a pulse...none, her heart had already stopped beating.

"Gone," I said softly, she had been a mere 14 or 15-year-old child.

We were later back in our hotel room with our hostage, it was rather obvious that he wasn't apart of Seraphim, but perhaps the underground sewers had had some information about our mysterious targets.

"I came here as a carpenter, poor, but still had tools," he began, "I worked the long hours here, the pay was pretty decent. I am originally from Europe, France specifically. My wife left after only three years of marrige, she had an affaire, I jumped off a bridge in response. But before anyone could find my body, I desperate vampire, one that hadn't fed in a long time, hauled my body out and drank from it. Something made it stop, I'm not sure what, but as a result I lived, well it you can call it living... I worked wiith what I had, my strength and eventually I decided to seek a job here, a developing city." he finished his eyes closed, but his body still tense.

"We have some questions, which I hope you do your best to answer, if you were to lie, well, lets just say, we'll know..." Carlisle said. John's expression still remained unchanged as he nodded, "Then may I leave?"

"Is there a vegetarian group around here?"

"Maybe, there was some rumor, but I hadn't been able to check it out, been to busy with work you see."

"Where?"

"Somewhere down town, they were supposed to be some kind of dealers, with furniture or antiques or something."

Carlisle exchanged glances with Eleazar and nodded, "Thank you, you may leave." John didn't need another word, he just bolted right out the door.

We watched as he left, "Anything Edward?" Carlisle asked.

"He's telling the truth, or his truth," Edward replied.

"Then we think we know where it it."


My next chapter is coming out soon!! (hopefully)
