I do not own Twilight.
Bella's story had frightened me, but I knew she was fine, and that made me happy for the rest of the week. I was smiling as I drove down to La Push, in the Rabbit Jacob had leant me, as he could go wolf most of the time. But as I drove by the beach, I could tell something was wrong.
"Embry? What is it?"
"It's Alice."
"What?" What could have happened to her. "What?" I repeated, "is she hurt?"
Embry shook his head, but the pained look in his eyes and face didn't vanish.
"Then what? Tell me," I demanded.
"She and Jasper have gone. They've left. Alice had a vision. It happened last night."
"A vision of what?"
"I don't know. I had to phase back to meet with you here."
"What can I do?"
"I'm not sure. Can you drive yourself to Forks instead of hanging out with me today? I'm sorry I have to cancel our plans for just us, but something is wrong, and I need to know what."
I nodded. "Sure. That's fine, you don't need to apologise."
He smiled, but it was all wrong, and I could tell it was forced. "I do. I'll meet you up there, I need to see what's up fast, and catch up. I'll phase and run up."
He gave me a quick kiss on the cheek before running in the opposite direction - into the woods.
I stood frozen for who knows how long, my brain just spiraling.
Alice. Alice. Alice. What happened? Jasper. Why had they left? What's wrong? It must be something important.It was a while before my brain actually started working properly. I let my legs lead me to the car, and I put the key into the ignition. My mind was blank as I drove to the big white mansion, not knowing what to think. I just parked the car and again, let my legs do all the work.
I finally got my hands to open the door and I burst into the big pale living room.
Everyone, Bella, Edward, Rosalie and Emmett, Jacob, Nessie, Carlisle and Esme were there. No, not everyone. Alice and Jasper weren't here. I'd only met Rosalie, Emmett, Esme and Carlisle once, but that was enough.
"I'm here. What happened?"
I was just met my blank stares.
"Alright. You've got to give me some answers."
A/N: Okay, it might be cruel leaving it here, but I just love cliff-hangers! Plus, short chapters seem to be my thing :)
