Memo: Hello everyone! Sorry for the long wait…but this time, I have a reasonable excuse. I was working on my other fic: Bite My Heart…I just had this gut feeling and decided to post it up! You should definitely check it out…people have been saying its better than this one (if that's possible)…lol, I'm just kidding…We had no school for two days in a row because of the cold…and I'm hyper!!!!

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or New Moon…Parts of the italicized words came directly from Stephenie Meyer's books (Twilight mainly)…Please don't sue me…

Oh yeah. Some people were wondering how Cyrus's power worked on Bella. His power involves the mind AND the body…I know Bella can't be affected by gifts involving things that touch her mind-Edward and Jane's gift-because she has a private mind….but this power works differently…maybe not as well as Cyrus hoped….you'll find out why in this chapter…

BELLA POV

I could feel a hazy daze in the back of my mind; like a thought that I couldn't quite place. What was I forgetting? I smiled to myself, laughing quietly. Of course! I still hadn't taken a drink yet. Why I hadn't done it earlier, I was not sure. All of a sudden, I had found myself slumped against the floor with no clue of how I got there. Was this some sort of side effect after becoming a vampire? No, it couldn't be; vampires' don't have side effects! A knocking came from the door and I startled, seeing Cyrus walking in, smiling slightly. I felt strong waves of dislike in my mind though I had no idea why. Why should I not like Cyrus? After all, he did turn me into a vampire. Wasn't that what I'd always wanted?

"Bella!" he smiled, warmly. "Have you thought up on my offer?" Offer? What was he talking about?

"What do you mean?" I questioned.

"Oh? You don't remember?" he laughed, quietly, as if he was sharing a private joke. "I asked you to join me for a drink, but you refused." Refused? Now why would I do that?

"I don't remember," I answered, surprised at how much I was forgetting.

"Well, if you would like to join me now, I am happy to take you to the humans." To the humans…Why did my stomach leap at the word? It was normal for a vampire to drink human blood. Wasn't it?

"Of course I'll come with you," I replied. Shake off these thoughts Bella; they will do you no good. Blood is what we need to survive; without it, our minds would drive us crazy! I followed Cyrus out the door and down a long hallway, my eyes spotting the people on the other end of the hall, wandering around, and all smiling. I shook my head and spotted a vampire on the other end leading the group. She had long mahogany hair and violet eyes-it seemed as if she was wearing blue contacts. Heidi. She smiled at me and turned, getting the attention of the audience in front of her. They turned, silent. There was a scream and people turned around, perplexed. It had begun. One by one they dropped to the ground, lifeless in a pool of bodies. Every last being was dead. Cyrus stepped up to the nearest body, sinking his teeth into her neck. My stomach turned again, but I found my body pushing me to drink….just take one sip ….I stepped to the side and quickly plunged my teeth into the body to my right. A warm sensation filled my body; like nothing I had ever felt before. It seeped through my veins, pushing me to keep drinking…

We were in a meadow. The sun shone down with such brilliance, illuminating the world; the grass waved back and forth. There was a small compression in the middle of the tall growth, two people sitting, deep in discussion. I recognized the first person as me- a different me. I was sitting cross legged, my eyes downcast. Sitting across from me was a man; his pale skin sparkled like a million diamonds under the surface. I could tell from his face that he was a vampire, strong and lean, with boyish looking hair. For some reason, I felt drawn to him, though I could not explain why…he held a certain aura…He suddenly started talking, looking at me, smiling.

"You see, every person smells different, has a different essence. If you locked an alcoholic in a room full of stale beer, he'd gladly drink it. But he could resist, if he wished to, if he were a recovering alcoholic. Now let's say you placed in that room a glass of hundred-year-old brandy, the rarest, finest cognac— and filled the room with its warm aroma— how do you think he would fair then?"

The two of us stared into each others eyes-trying to read each other's thoughts. He started talking again.

"Maybe that's not the right comparison. Maybe it would be too easy to turn down the brandy. Perhaps I should have made our alcoholic a heroin addict instead."

"So what you're saying is, I'm your brand of heroin?" I teased. He smiled, swiftly.

"Yes, you are exactly my brand of heroin."

……………..

"Bella!" Cyrus exclaimed, patting me on the back. "I know the blood is good, but you have to get a move on if you want something left."I gasped, suddenly aware of my surroundings.

"I— I um…I'm ok…I think that's enough for today." I shuddered, quickly running back to my room, feeling Cyrus's gaze bore through my back. I entered my room, lying on my bed and staring up at the ceiling. Who was that man? I had been drinking and suddenly had a sense of remembrance…not a vision parse, but a…memory…like something I had forgotten. It still didn't make sense, though. I would definitely know if something like that had happened before. I shook my head. Still, for some odd reason, I had felt attracted to the vampire in the meadow…whoever he was, I felt- for some odd reason- that I somehow knew him…

EDWARD POV

"Hello Charlie, this is Edward," I said, talking to Chief Swan on the phone.

"Edward?" he replied, surprised. "How are you? Is Paris nice?" Oh, its jolly good fun.

"Its quite nice, yes," I replied. "Our hotel is right across from the Eiffel Tower. It's beautiful in the nighttime."

"Oh, is it?" He questioned. "I've always wanted to go to Paris. I actually was planning to go there, but then Renee announced she was pregnant with Bella and I decided it was better to stay and help then leave for a foreign country," he laughed, nervously. "Is Bella there?"

"She just went out," I said, thinking up an excuse. "I will tell her to call you when she returns."

"Oh. Well, why aren't you with her?" he asked, a hint of suspicion in his voice.

"I was just leaving actually. Bella was the one who suggested I call you and check up."

"Oh, ok. Well, you make sure you're taking care of my girl." Oh, I am.

"Yes, Charlie. Don't worry about a thing. Bella is fine." Fine! Ha! "We're enjoying Paris a lot, really. We might be staying here for a little longer." Like months if I don't get Bella back.

"Ok, that's fine. Just make sure to have Bella call me back."

"Yes. I have to leave now, Bella is waiting."

"Bye Edward." I ended the call, my face sinking into my hands. Now, I had to find a way to postpone the phone call Bella was supposed to make to Charlie. I could tell he was getting worried. I sighed, staring at my reflection in the mirror. My face was sullen; eyes as black as coal. It was time to drink. I pushed off of the bed and left the room, quickly walking out of the lobby and into the cool, crisp air outside…

ALICE POV

"Carlisle?" I asked. He turned, smiling. "Yes Alice?"

"I was thinking. It's getting awfully boring around here since Bella and Edward are gone and everything. Why not go to Tanya's?" Carlisle sat, thinking.

"If everyone wants to go, then we'll go."

"Great," I replied, with a little bit too much enthusiasm. "I'll go tell them to pack." I rushed off, leaving Carlisle with a questioning look. I ran up the stairs into my room, seeing Jasper on the couch. I quickly walked over, hugging him. He sighed, kissing my forehead.

"You seem relieved," he muttered.

"I'm just happy …Carlisle says if everyone wants to, we can leave for Tanya's." I looked up into his eyes. "Do you want to go?"

"Yes, that would be nice…we haven't been there for a long time." I smiled.

"Great," I said, lifting his chin and quickly kissing him. I turned to get up, but Jasper quickly pulled me down, silencing me with his lips. The kiss lasted for what seemed like over an eternity. Jasper slowly pulled away, holding my face in his hands. I smiled, touching his face. "I wish I could stay here now, but I have to go tell the others."

"What's your hurry?" he asked.

"I just want to see Tanya," I replied, trying to conceal the lie. His expression remained troubled. I kissed him on the cheek and left, going to tell Rose and Emmett. I banged on the door. No answer. I knocked again. Nothing…

"Come on Rose!" I yelled. The door opened and a slightly disheveled Rosalie stepped out, followed by Emmett. I could only guess what they had been doing.

"Do you want to go to Tanya's?" I asked.

"Now?" Rosalie asked, bewildered.

"Yes, now" I replied.

"Let's go Rose," replied Emmett. "It'll be fun!" With a look that plainly said going to Tanya's would not be all that great, Rosalie sighed.

"Fine."

"Good. Start packing." I left the room and entered my own, finding my bags already ready.

"I packed for you," said Jasper. I went to the suitcase and rummaged through it.

"Even this?" I asked. My eyebrows rose as I held up a red thong. He laughed.

……………..

In half an hour, everyone was packed and ready to go. We had brought along coats and warm clothing. Although we didn't need it, it would look odd if we went to Denali, Alaska with t-shirts. Carlisle had already bought tickets for the plane. We each got into our separate cars, Jasper and me in the Ferrari, Rosalie and Emmett in the mini cooper, and Esme and Carlisle in the BMW. I turned the ignition system and we were off, a blur in the forest landscape. I stared out the window and something caught my eye—a pigment of color that seemed out of place. Jasper looked over at me.

"What is it?"

"Nothing. I'm probably just imagining things." Jasper didn't press me further. I settled into the seat, sighing. No more werewolves to worry about…

JACOB BLACK

"Come on," I yelled, motioning for the rest of the pack to follow me.

"Jacob," said Embrey, over the pounding rain. "Do you really think this is completely necessary?" I turned and stared at him.

"I know those bloodsuckers are doing something to her and I want to find out what." Sam stepped up to me.

"It could be dangerous Jacob. We don't want to meddle in their business." I sighed.

"I know. But I need to find out what's going on." Sam looked at me for a minute and nodded his head.

"I want everyone except Jacob to position themselves around the house. Just incase we run into trouble. Go on Jacob. We'll be right here." I looked at all of them—all of my pack. They were always there to support me. And not to long ago, Bella would have supported me too. Although she had ditched me for her vampire boyfriend, I still loved her. I walked up the white steps and stood under the huge mansion. Get this over with. I pounded on the door, waiting for an answer. None came. I knocked again. Nothing.

"Open the door," I yelled. "I know you can hear me! Open up now or I'll come inside myself!" No answer. Fine, if they want to play like that… I pushed and with a little effort, the lock cracked and I stepped inside.

"Ugh," I muttered. Vampire stench. The house was eerily quiet. "Bella!" I screamed. No answer. I ran through the whole house, looking for someone…anyone…It was empty. I came downstairs again and looked at where their cars should have been. All of them were gone. I knew the Cullens had multiple cars, so if all of them had gone, it must have meant they had all left. It looked like they weren't coming back any time soon. They had left, taking Bella with them. I bounded up to Sam.

"They left. I know they have Bella with them." Sam stared at me for a second, thinking.

"I don't think we can do anything. If they left for somewhere else, it means they're not violating the treaty. And even if they're still here, we don't know where they went." Sam sighed patting my back. "We'll find her. Don't worry." Oh we will find her…and when we do, I'll make sure those bloodsuckers die a tragic death…

Ohh…Jacob mad…Jacob really, really mad…lol…I hope you enjoyed this chapter…and w/ the whole Bella thing: she's receiving these memories from the past…they are not like Alice's visions…more like memories…if you have ANY questions, please don't hesitate to ask me…I want to make sure everything is clear…
