No owning

Sorry it took me so long to update, my apologizes. I meant to update this last night, but homework was over flowing and I was extremely tired. So I told myself I would write tonight, and guess what?! I DID!! So here is your update. And I promise, pinky promise, no more of waiting two days to update again!!

"What do we do?" Edward asked walking in front of Bella.

"I say let's go get him." Jeana said shaking her head.

Bella shifted on the bed, "No."

"Why not?" Edward asked, "You can't do it can you?"

"I can do it." She said firmly, "I promise I can."

"Then why don't we go after him?"

"I…I don't know where he is." She said crumbling the paper in her hand.

Edward realized what she was thinking and opened up her hand, he unfolded the paper and looked over it, "It says right here, why are you lying?"

"Where is he?" Jeana asked, "If she can't do it, it doesn't mean I can't."

"He's at the upper Clearwater camping ground." He said looking at the paper.

"What is that, about five minutes away?"

"Stop! No, you can't go after him." Bella said looking at the both of them.

Edward ignored her begs, "Yeah, maybe even two minutes running at top speed."

"I'll go now."

"Jeana, no. Don't!"

"Why not Bella?" Jeana said finally looking at her, "I can actually stop him unlike you."

"I can stop him…"

"Then do it." She taunted.

"I…uh…" She looked at Edward, "Maybe we should talk to Carlisle first."

"That is just wasting time." He walked to the door.

"Edward you can't go by yourself." Bella stood up and grabbed his hand.

"He won't be by himself, I'm going too." Jeana said.

Dan walked past the room, "Tick tock, tick tock."

"Edward let's go." Jeana ran out of the room and down the hallway.

He looked down at Bella, "I have to go."

"But…"

He placed his finger on her lips, "If you feel up to it, you know where I'll be." With that, he disappeared.

Again Dan walked by, "You're a nice girlfriend."

"Shut up."

"You still love Chuck don't you?"

"Not even close."

He leaned against the door frame, "Then why won't you go?"

"I just can't…"

"You love him."

"No I don't."

"Liar."

"I said shut up."

"And I said your lying, but lookie here, I'm still talking and your still lying. Looks like we got nothing accomplished." He stared at her, "I knew you couldn't do it."

"Do what?"

"Live with them. Your different."

She grinned her teeth together, "No I'm not."

"Your one of me, deal with it."

"Of course I'm one of you, I'm just a better one of you."

He laughed quietly, "I meant you'd rather feed on petty humans than lost dogs." Dan looked at her, "Admit it, your in this for the sex."

"What?"

"I mean what else does this edwad have?"

"It's Edward." She corrected him.

"It's loser."

She coughed uselessly, "I should go."

"And do what, pretend to defeat Chuck, or pretend you actually care for Alice?"

"Neither."

"Oh so your going to go," He put his fingers in the air, " 'fight'?"

"No, I'm going to go win." She walked to over to him, "Your in my way."

"Don't let me stop you from ruining everything."

Bella pushed his chest, "Move before I move you."

He grinned and waved her through, "There you go miss."

As she walked to the broken door, she held her hand up and bent every finger, but her middle one, "Don't forget to fix you door." She laughed.

The smell of lite cigarettes and drunken men filled her nostrils as she walked out of the main door of the building. They all leaned up against the wall, and Bella could tell they were staring at her butt as she walked.

"Hey bootyful." One guy laughed.

Edward ran with Jeana, "They should be here."

"Are you sure?"

"It's what it said on the letter."

Jeana slowed down and looked around, "Maybe Alice told them to move somewhere else because she saw us coming?"

"Maybe…" He said trailing off as he looked around, "It just doesn't make sense."

"What doesn't?"

"Alice leaving, letting me help her out of her death. It isn't like her to do that."

Jeana looked around, "Maybe you don't know her as well as you think you do."

"What does that mean?"

"Well…I knew Alice, I met her a couple times. We've actually got along, we talked and everything."

"What did she say?"

"That, well…that she couldn't stand you the thirty five years Bella had been gone. She told me you were a mess, and it made her sad inside. I'm guessing she's doing this for you, and only you." Jeana said looking into his golden eyes, "In a way, it's kind of nice."

"Nice? It's insane! This whole thing is just insane."

"I'm just saying, I mean I could have interpreted it wrong. She could of meant a whole other thing."

Edward swallowed a lump of venom, "No, she meant what she told you."

"I'm sorry Edward." Jeana sniffed through the air, "They were here, I just don't know where they went."

"I smell Alice." He closed his eyes, "Jasper is going to kill me."

"I'm going to kill him!" Jasper shouted after Bella told the Cullen family where Edward had gone.

"He's just trying to help." Carlisle told his 'son'.

"Help? Going after them could get Alice into even more danger." Jasper looked at the quiet Bella, "Are you hiding something?"

"No…"

"What haven't you told us?" Carlisle asked.

"I've told you everything."

"No…" Jasper started to say.

"But that Alice gave herself to Chuck."

The Cullen family stared back at Bella after she had spoken. Half of them looked surprised, while the other half had expressions that would say, 'I so saw that coming', "She what?" Jasper finally asked.

"You heard me." Bella stated, "This wasn't Edward's fault."

"It wasn't Alice's either."

"I know that, it's mine. I got it."

"I didn't mean that…" Jasper said, "I'm just nervous I guess."

"Me too."

Carlisle walked up to Bella, after having a small conversation with Esme, "We think you should go find Edward and bring him here so we can come up with something together."

"That's what I told him at first," She looked at him, "I'm on my way."

"Don't stop for anything, we can't lose the only time we have." Carlisle added, "I know Alice to well, and I know she has a plan. Something that doesn't end with her dying."

"I hope your right." Bella said after she opened the door. Before leaving she looked back, "I'm sorry."

"Go." He ordered. She nodded and ran out of the door.

"She's coming." Edward said to Jeana.

"Who?"

"Bella."

"I wonder what she wants." Jeana said, anger tracing the words that fell from her mouth.

"She wants me to leave."

"No surprise there."

"She says she went to talk with my family."

"Why?"

"Because it was stupid just letting you two solve this yourselves." Bella said appearing by the trees.

"Well someone had to." Jeana said to her.

Edward looked at her, "What did they say?"

"They said for me to come get you. To go home and all of us can come up with something together."

"Sounds like something they would say."

"They're right Edward." Bella whispered, "And Jasper isn't mad at you."

"How about at you?"

"No," She bit her lip, "At least I don't think so."

Behind the group was a quiet noise of a tree branch breaking. Even to the ears of the undead it was quiet. Very far away, but the smell was known. It was dangerous. The smell was like a warning to Bella, but it was too late. It was there, running through the air that flied her nose when she breathed the unwanted breeze. It burned at her throat and angered her thoughts. It had her fists in balls and her teeth barring. It had all the feelings go from sorrow to anger, from love to hate, from life to death.

"Go home Jeana." She said staring out into the trees.

"Why?"

"GO HOME JEANA."

"Fine, but I'm going to Edward's house."

Bella felt the air run up her back as Jeana sped away. Now it was only Bella, Edward and the demon, the master of this plan. He was like the caller of a kidnapping, the one who got what he wanted, and at no cost would he stop.

"What is that smell?" Edward asked.

"Chuck…"
