A/N - Sorry it's been forever! But this chapter is a lot longer to help pay for it! Enjoy! Oh, and we've broken 5,000 hits! Alright!

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight. I do, however, own a giant pen! Oh, you re so jealous right now. I can see it on your face. x)

My chanting was broken when a snarling voice interrupted.

"Hello, Isabella."

I whirled around to face the bone chilling voice. It was someone I did not recognize. Someone I didn't know.

I narrowed my eyes and began to glower at him. I didn't know who he was, but I did know he was dangerous. I could tell by his voice alone.

"Who are you?" I demanded, my voice firm. I was glad that it did not quiver or betray my fear in any way.

"I, my dear Isabella, am a friend. I come in peace," he answered. His voice softened at the end, but I could clearly see that it was all an act.

I scoffed. "And I bet you're just dying to have a chat and catch up, nothing more, correct?" I shot back at him, my voice dripping with sarcasm.

"Believe me," was his only reply. His face was serious. He was staring at me intensely, as if willing me to do something. I began feeling a bit self-conscious, but he didn't need to know that.

"No," I insisted.

"Trust me."

"I trust only friends."

"I am a friend," he practically growled. Some friend.

"Then how come I don't even know your name?" That one shut him up. He looked down.

"We never, hmm,officially, met. You do not know my name, that I agree with, but you do know me."

That caught me off guard. He admitted that I didn't know his name, but he kept insisting that I knew him. But, from where? Before I could voice my thoughts, he continued.

"My name is Lucas. Isabella, do you remember your visit to Port Angeles, almost two years ago?"

I remembered that day clearly. How could I forget it? It was the day I discovered the truth of Edward and his family. "Yes," I answered carefully.

"Do you remember right after sunset?"

I tried to think back. Then I remembered. The four men herding me, getting ready to attack me. I looked back at the man one more time. I remembered the man I said hello to was short and dark. This man was short, but not dark. In fact, he was extremely pale. For the first time since he came, I noticed his eye color. It was a dark red.

I gasped. "Does that mean…" I trailed off, unable to complete my sentence.

"Yes, Isabella. I am one of the four men who wanted to have a little fun with you. We just wanted to play. I'm the one who decided we should herd you in the first place. I decided that we should make you play with us. But then I was changed. I found out more abut you, by going through school files and things such as that. Surprisingly, you are really hard to track down, even with my skills. And now, my dear Isabella, I have come for you," he finished darkly, slowly advancing toward me.

I began to back away. "Stay away from me. Leave me alone," I said through gritted teeth. But my voice sounded frail and weak.

"I'm afraid I can't do that. I have changed the others as well. They are waiting. We have all been waiting for this moment in time. It has finally arrived."

Before I knew it, three more figures emerged from the trees, coming at me from all directions.

"We will herd you just as last time. Only now, there is no one to save you." It started out with just Lucas speaking, but in the last sentence they all spoke at the same time. It was kind of freaky, actually.

Suddenly, they all came at me. I was lifted, something covering my eyes and mouth. My hands and arms were bound by two stronger pairs of arms,each I struggled against their grasps, but it was pointless.

If there weren't four of them, I would be able to fight back. With my strength, I could've defeated one easily, maybe even two. Three was a long-shot, but not impossible. Four was just too much.

As the realization hit me, I wanted to cry. I was outnumbered. They defeated me. Edward was mad at me, and he probably thought I was upset with him. I was being taken from my family. I never even got to say goodbye. I wouldn't win. I wouldn't see Edward again. Ever. This was the end.

(A/N - Edward Point of View)

I ran as fast as I could to get to the clearing, but I couldn't seem to run fast enough. I pushed myself harder. This was probably the fastest I had ever gone. I finally saw the break in the trees I had been waiting for. When I was finally standing at the edge of the clearing, I had a mixture of emotions. Worry, anger, disappointment, confusion…. Bella wasn't here.

I walked to the edge of the meadow and sank down to the floor, a sob escaping my lips. My sweet, beautiful Bella was in trouble again. It was all my fault. If I hadn't yelled at her, she wouldn't have run out, and therefore would be safe in my arms now. I wanted to kill myself for my stupidity and short-temperedness. Curse my tendency to overreact.

After a few moments, I heard the disappointed and scared thoughts of my family, shortly followed by their joining me in the clearing. I tuned their thoughts out. I didn't want to listen to them right now.

"Hey, what's this?" Alice's voice pulled me out of my thoughts. I turned to her and found her staring at the center of the meadow. I walked over to see what was so important at a time such as this. It was a single sheet of paper with writing on it. I gasped, and with a surge of hope, picked it up to read it.

After much searching, I'm finally here. How did I find you? Here is my story.

I was walking home with some of my friends. It was a chilly night in Port Angeles. We were disappointed that we couldn't 'play' with the beautiful girl. I was bitter, as were my friends, at our loss. That's when we were attacked. That is when we became the walking-dead monsters we are today. We have to kill to survive. The blame? Your little girlfriend, Isabella. If it weren't for her, we might have been human again. We would've been busy having fun with her, not getting attacked.

Anyway, I figured she must live close by to Port Angeles. I decided to search the records of local schools to find her. I went to Forks High first, because the license plate on your car said Forks. I found her picture in the school records and took her information. Then I began tracking her. I would have acted sooner, but I discovered what you and your family were and decided against it.

I was going to act as soon as you left, but before I got the chance, the werewolves found me. I have never gotten the chance to do anything because someone was always being a watchdog, making sure no harm came to her. Why one insignificant, little girl was so important to all of you, I'll never know.

But I finally got her alone, and I won't let her go. Not until I get my long overdue revenge. There is only one way to solve this. Life for life. She took ours, and now we will take hers.

My name is Lucas. I am a friend…when I want to be. But usually, I'm just your worst nightmare.

Be Prepared.
