Oh my gosh, I wrote this all in about three hours this evening because I was SO jazzed and happy about all the nice comments and reviews I got. Even if there were only a few of them (ok, for the record, that was NOT meant to be a bitchy comment about me not getting that many reviews, sorry!) they made me smile. AND I finally figured out how to figure out how to view stats and stuff on my stories. I'm so excited that people in Australia, the US, Canada, Mexico, Romania, EVERYWHERE [well, not really everywhere, but my world is very small, haha] have read my story. Not bragging, just really, really happy. Thank you!

Disclaimer: Twilight is (c) Stephenie Meyer. Sorry if this has a lot of errors, again, I had no editing time because I wanted to publish it tonight. One more thing! Sorry about all of the POV changes. I hope you can follow it--it made it funner to write!--plus I didn't want to make it like "Cliffhanger, meet Cliffhanger. Since you two are so similar, and there are SO many of you in this chapter, you should really be friends". Ha-ha, well, thanks!

When I awoke, I was sitting in a room filled with desks. For a second, I thought that I'd fallen asleep in class and missed the bell, until I remembered what had happened with Lily and Nathan. Also, this didn't look like an ordinary classroom.

All of the chairs were up on the desks, and some had cobwebs coming off of them. The whole place was covered with dust, and I held my breath so that I wouldn't sneeze. It looked like I was in an old school, or something, and clearly no one had been there for a while. Even the date that was still visible on the slightly warped chalkboard read 4th, May, 1902.

Wait a second—1902?!

I slid off of the table I was sitting on to get a better look at the room. The desks that I'd originally thought were just a bit run-down, I realized now were really hand crafted tables, and the text books stored on a shelf were all leather bound with ancient copyright dates.

I strained to hear someone—anyone—'s thoughts, but I couldn't, so I knew that I was either completely alone, or that Lily was near. Then I heard her voice.

"I don't understand why it was so easy to get to her though, the way Laurent talked about it, it sounded like they practically died to protect that other one," she said. Was she talking about me? I walked slowly to the door, trying to find out where her voice was coming from.

"Well, she must not be very important to them, that's all," said a bored-sounding man's voice, probably Nathan. If they were talking about me, and I couldn't imagine who else they were talking about (unless they were running some kind of teenage-girl kidnapping ring, which I didn't want to imagine), then ouch.

"Hmm, I guess so. Even if she does smell delicious, I was sort of hoping for more of a challenge," Lily mused.

"There's something different about her though, isn't there? You said that she can normally read minds. I wonder why…" Nathan said, trailing off.

"She's probably just some kind of half breed mutant," Lily said—gee thanks—before continuing, "but if she doesn't matter to them, I wonder why we could follow her scent from the Cullens' house."

"Maybe they were planning to feed on her themselves," Nathan suggested, chuckling darkly, and I could practically feel the blood in my veins freeze.

"No, not the Cullens," Lily said slowly. "They eat animals, don't you remember? Filthy people; and they call themselves vampires."

"Why did you bring her here, anyways? They'll be able to trace you back to this school," Nathan said after a moment of silence. I pressed my ear to the door cautiously, determined to find out more details about my location. That seemed like the smart thing to do.

"What? To St Sebastian's? Come on, Nathan, you know that this is my favourite place. All those dances in the great hall, the arduous classes, oh, the memories," Lily said, wistfully. Nathan snorted.

"You shouldn't be so quick to judge, Nathan. If you'll remember correctly, this is where we first met. Where we fell in love. Where you changed me so that we could be together forever," Lily continued, sounding like some sort of old romance novel. "I'll bet our initials are still in the desk where I carved them. Oh, to be young again."

At this point I rolled my eyes. Sure, it was nice to learn about the romantic past-lives of the two vampires that had kidnapped me, but personally I'd rather learn where exactly this St Sebastian's was.

That's when I stuck my hand into my pocket, twiddling my thumbs to pass the time, and realized something absolutely wonderful. I still had my cell phone in my pocket.

I practically screamed. Even though Lily could stop me from contacting Edward, or anyone else mentally, I doubted that her abilities covered cell phones too. Who to call, who to call… I wondered. I scrolled down my feeble contact list, and wished that I had made more new friends, so I'd have someone to call.

Aunt Joan. No, for one, I didn't actually know where she was, and I didn't want to worry her. Well that's stupid, I thought. I had been kidnapped by two crazy vampires, taken away to some twentieth century school to have my blood drunken, and I didn't want to worry her?!

I scrolled over her name anyways, and realized that I was at the end of my list. Oh great. I bit my lip, knowing that if I waited too much longer, Lily and Nathan would hear me, or realize that I was awake—if they hadn't already, and were just humouring me, or something. That's when I, for the second time, realized something wonderful.

I pressed the Received Calls button, and held the phone to my ear, silently praying—

"Hey, this is Alice Cullen! I'm not here right now, so please—"

Alice's cheerful, musical voice came through the speaker, and I cursed under my breath. I had just about risked my life to phone her, and she wasn't even there?! I could hear footsteps coming towards me, and strained my ears until I could tell for sure that Lily and Nathan had stopped talking.

"—after the beep, bye!"

I closed my eyes, and quietly muttered a quick message, hoping that they would get it in time. If not, it didn't really matter, because Lily had just opened the door, the cell phone dropped from my hand, and I knew that I was already dead.

***

"WHAT?!" Jacob stood up, practically taking the table with him.

Alice shrunk away from him, while Seth just sat there (used to Jacob's outbursts), and Quil shot him a sympathetic look, aware of what his friend must be going through.

Edward was the first to speak. "Yes, Jacob, we all realize just how dire the situation is, but if you could just calm down, that'd help a lot, thanks," he said, and rolled his eyes.

"Plus I don't think your dad will be too happy if you destroy any more furniture," Seth said, trying to make a joke of it, while Quil gave him a shut-up-now look.

"First you stupid leeches have to live here, then you take Bella, and now you let two vampires get to Juliet?! What the hell is wrong with you?!" Jacob shouted, now pacing in front of the others who were still seated around the table.

"Jacob, I know this must be hard for you," Edward began, but didn't get a chance to finish before Jacob was yelling again.

"'Hard for me'? Hard for me? Damn-freaking-straight, this is 'hard for me'! You try loosing the one person who really matters! You try loosing Bella, or Jasper, or Claire!" he shouted, looking from Edward to Alice to Quil, and finally Seth. "You were her friend, weren't you? Why don't you care?!"

Seth shook his head a little, and said, "Jake, seriously, Edward's right. If you just take a breather for a little while—"

Just as Jacob had opened his mouth to start yelling again, Alice said, her voice totally calm if a little pleasantly surprised, "Oh. That's weird."

Jacob looked at her like she'd just suggested that they each go out and find a young child to sacrifice, while the others merely stared at her.

"What is it, Alice?" Edward said through gritted teeth, as though expecting Jacob to start shouting again at any moment.

"I have a message," she said brightly, holding up her phone, until she caught Jacob's eye and the smile immediately dropped from her face.

"YOU GOT A FUCKING MESSAGE?!" Jacob roared, nearly lunging at Alice, before Quil stood up and pushed a defeated looking Jacob down onto a chair.

"Hey, Edward, you might want to listen to this," Alice said, her voice was now colored with concern.

"What is it?" he asked, clearly a little irritated at Alice's apparent disregard for their current situation.

"It's, uh, it's from Juliet," she said slowly, squinting at the small screen on her cell phone, to make sure that she had read the name right.

In seconds they were all seated around the table again, with Alice's cell phone sitting on the table in the center of them. "Now, before we play it, you know that it could just be from the vampires that took her, and uh… it might not exactly say what you want to hear…" Edward said, looking at Jacob meaningfully.

"Just play it," he growled.

"Don't get your hopes up, okay?" Alice said, waiting for Jacob and the other two to give at least the slightest sign of agreement before she lightly pressed the 'play message' option that had appeared on her screen.

Before they even had a chance to lean forward, Juliet's quiet voice played through the speaker.

"Um, uh, hi, Alice, this is, um, Juliet, and in case you didn't notice, I'm kind of… not in Forks anymore—I think. These two vampires, Lily and Nathan, came to my house and took me away, and she made me write a note, so just know that I didn't actually mean it, okay?"

Alice smiled a little, before turning up the volume on her phone, even though none of the five—with their enhanced hearing abilities—really needed it.

"So, um, yeah, well, I heard them talking, and I'm at this really old, empty school, that's called Saint Sebastian's, or something. Oh, yeah, and Lily has this weird power thing which makes it so that I can't read minds, and it's, um… it's really quiet here, ha-ha.

"Oh, crap, I think they're coming this way, well, yeah, I just wanted you guys to know that you're really awesome, Alice, Edward, Bella, you made the… week? Was it only a week? Wow. Well, you made it really, really awesome, so thanks for that. Oh man, this sounds totally cheesy. Just make sure that my Aunt's okay, alright? And say thanks to Carlisle and Esme for being so nice. And Jasper, Emmett, and Rosalie, just for being themselves… and, uh… Seth! Right, Seth! I'm sorry I kind of forgot about you… Ha-ha. Thanks, Seth, for being so nice, and thanks what's-his-name… oooh, right, Embry. Thank Embry too.

"Uh, I really have to go now. I'll miss you guys—that sounds cheesy too. I'm just gonna hang up now before I say anything else lame. I guess that kind of counts, ha-ha. OK, bye."

Juliet's voice ended and there was static for a few moments, until there was a banging sound, and the message ended.

They were all quiet for almost a minute, until Jacob finally spoke, his voice sounding rough, and said, "We have to find her."

Edward was the first to respond, and said while nodding, "Don't worry Jacob, I'm sure we will. I'll ask Carlisle what he knows about Lily and Nathan, I'm sure he's heard about them before. And Alice, why don't you look up 'St Sebastian's'. Let's go," he said, and Alice nodded, before the two of them walked quickly out of the house. In a few seconds, they could hear the screeching of tires as Alice and Edward began driving back to their house at break-neck speeds.

"Hey, Jake, I have to go, I'm really sorry dude. Don't worry though; they're going to find her, okay? And I'll talk to Sam—make sure he knows what's happening. You should get some rest, man, and remember, the pack's got your back." Quil said, giving Jacob a little pat on the back, before he too disappeared out the doors.

"He's right, Jake. We'll be here for you," Seth said, a little awkwardly.

Jacob nodded, but remained quietly staring down at the table where Alice's phone had been.

"Ok, I should probably—" Seth began, not wanting to sit around with Jacob while he was acting like this, but also not wanting to think about how bad a friend that might make him.

"Seth." Jacob said, looking up, and Seth winced when he saw the pained expression on his friend's face. "Seth, you're her friend, right?"

Seth was about to lie, and ask who Jacob was talking about, but instead he just nodded.

"She didn't mention me. In her message, she talked about you, and Edward, and even Embry. But she didn't mention me. Do you know how much that kills me?" Jacob asked him, looking devastated.

Seth shook his head a little, not really sure whether Jacob wanted his question answered, and instead took a few steps forward, before sitting down across from him. "They weren't lying. They're going to find her, got it, Jake?"

Jacob jerked his head forward in the slightest of nods.

"Hey, want to hear a joke?" Seth asked with a small smile on his face.

Jacob looked at him, his eyes slightly read, and asked in a flat voice, "What do you think?"

Seth continued, not listening to Jacob. "Ok, so, two blondes lock their keys in the car. One of them tries to break into it while the other one watches, and then the first blonde says, 'Darn, I can't get in the car!' then the second one says, 'Keep trying, it looks like it's going to rain, and the top's down!'"

Seth finished with a grin on his face after completing his joke—with the voices and everything—and looked at Jacob expectantly. Jake remained emotionless, until a small smile crept on to his face, and he said, "You're such a loser. Now let's go find Juliet."

***

"Well, well, well, what's this?" Lily asked, picking my phone up off of the floor.

"Um… a phone?" I said, not really sure if she'd been expecting an answer.

"I KNOW IT'S A PHONE, YOU LITTLE BITCH!" Lily screamed. I gasped—I guessed this was her vampire-equivalent of a five year old's hissy fit.

"Lily, calm down," Nathan said, walking into the room and wrapping his arms around her. "I'll take care of her."

As soon as the words were out of his mouth, I felt tired, just like I had the previous time at my aunt's house.

"No, don't," Lily said suddenly, her voice cutting through the sleepy haze that had enveloped me. "I want to deal with this now."

I swallowed hard. Even though before she'd come in, I'd been fairly certain that I was dead. Not only that, but I'd even had the chance to say goodbye to Alice and all the rest of them—kind of. What more could I ask for?

I wanted to live, I decided at that moment. No matter how much time I'd spent in Australia, or Forks, wishing that I could disappear, crying over my parents, hating myself… none of it mattered. My mind was made up now. And I was going to fight back.

"AHHH!" I screamed, completely out of nowhere, and picked up one of the dusty text books off of a shelf. Before Lily could react, I threw it at her head, and despite my generally awful aim, it hit her directly on the forehead.

She and Nathan both just stood there, even after the book bounced off of her head and hit the ground. I was frozen too, standing completely still just like I had been when I threw the book, in a sort of javelin-throwing-like position.

Oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god, oh god, oh g- I thought. If they weren't totally set on killing me before, they were now.

Then Lily started laughing.

…I honestly couldn't say who was more surprised—Nathan or I. He responded faster though, and started slowly chuckling along with her. And then I was the surprised one, because while Lily was having a giggling fit, I suddenly heard their thoughts flood into my head.

I bit on my tongue, fighting the urge to gasp. I just wanted to keep her laughing, and not noticing anything, so that I could see if there was anyone else around…

I quickly skipped over her and Nathan's thoughts in case they were able to tell what I was doing. I searched all over, trying to reach as far out as I could with my mind—something I'd never done before—and then I finally found something.

Juliet! Juliet! Juliet! If you can hear this, we're coming for you. Which way was I supposed to go again? Oh… left! Right, I mean, correct, left! Right?

Juliet, we've arrived at St Sebastian's, or near it, okay? Just hang on. I hope you can hear this.

Hey, Juliet, I hope you can hear this, we got your message. Thanks for thinking of me, ha. So glad I had such a profound impact on your life in this week. Oops, sorry Jake, fine, I'll pay attention. God, so demanding, huh Juliet?

Juliet—this is Jacob. I just wanted you to know… uh… just don't die, okay? I don't know what I'll do if… if you d-die.

I fought the urge to grin. Alice, Edward, Seth, and Jacob, if I wasn't mistake. Edward must've told them all to think my name, so that I'd notice them. They were close—that much I could tell—but were they close enough?

More thoughts came into my head; Emmett, Jasper, Rosalie, Embry, Quil, Sam, Paul, Jared… I could only tell some of their names because of their thoughts, but I could tell that all of the non-vampires were thinking together in a group, like one. Like a pack…

Oh right! I realized suddenly. Werewolves are like wolves. They must have a pack, right? It made sense, I decided, but somewhere inside of me I couldn't help but feeling a little twinge of pain at just how much they resembled real wolves. Did I really want wolves to come and save me? The same animals that had killed my parents? I tried to shake the wolf-related thoughts from my head, and suddenly realized that there weren't any thoughts in my head—well, no thoughts that weren't mine.

Lily had stopped laughing, although Nathan was still chuckling darkly. "Lily, are you sure you don't want some help with this?"

"No thank you, Nathan. I think I'm going to enjoy this," she smirked, giving him a light kiss on the cheek and pushing him gently towards the door. He looked back at her, smiling in admiration, before leaving.

As soon as he was gone, she turned to me, and took a step towards me. She ran her long nails along my cheek. "Hmm… you're a weird little one, aren't you?" she cooed softly, as though she were talking to a baby.

I glared at her in response. Now that I knew people were coming after me I just wanted to keep her talking as long as I could, so I sighed, and forced myself to ask pleasantly, "Now why do you say that?"

Apparently Lily, for one, was done with talking though. Even before I was done my question, she'd grabbed my arm, and pushed on it until I distinctly heard a crack, and was fairly sure that it had broken. I whimpered in pain, a little, but didn't want to give her the satisfaction of knowing that I was suffering at all.

"You know, you're just like the rest of them, the Cullens," she spat out their name like it was a bad taste in her mouth. "They think they're so much better than the rest of us, just because they kill animals. You humans are just animals, aren't you?"

Before I even knew what had happened, she was on the other side of me. "You know what they did? They destroyed James and Victoria, just because they wanted to mess with one little human girl. Who cares about her, anyways? They were my friends. They knew what it meant to be a vampire. They aren't outside the door!" she finished with a roar, and threw a desk across the room to where it was blocking the door.

I could hear footsteps running up to it, and voices calling my name. Where's Nathan? I wondered. Instantly, Lily was back by my side, whispering in the same dangerous voice as before.

"If you say one single word, I'll slit your throat right now. Imagine how your little friends will feel when they see my draining the last of the blood from your body when they finally find your lifeless body hear. Licking the sweet, red stain off of my lips… maybe they'll ask for a snack. That is, if Nathan hasn't already dealt with them…"

Her mouth was pressed to my ear, and she was speaking so quietly that I knew that not even the other vampires could hear her. I nodded as much as I could with her sharp nails pressed against my neck.

"Juliet! Juliet Ero! Where are you?!" I heard Alice's voice call.

I could practically feel the words forming in my throat, desperate to be said out loud, and my mouth opened slowly.

"If you even think about it, I won't just kill you; I'll kill every single one of them, slowly and painfully." She said, her voice sounding like ice cutting through my mind, instantly making everything sharper, and the danger much more real.

I nodded again.

"Juliet, are you there? Juliet, where are you?" that was Seth. Once again I felt the urge to cry out, but I held the words in.

That was, until I heard one more voice. "Juliet! Come on, you must be here somewhere! If you're there, say something, please Juliet. Just say something!" Jacob.

Without even thinking about Lily, or Nathan, or anything else, I heard myself yelling before I really knew what I was doing. "I'M IN HERE! JACOB, SETH, ALICE, I'M IN HERE!"

Then, again before I really knew what was happening, I felt Lily tense, and her grip on my throat grow tighter. There was yelling outside the door; the sound of someone or something hard hitting the ground; a scream. Then everything went black.
