Me, Jazz and Em were playing Rock Band. Well, I was playing against Em since me and Jazz had teamed up and the way we were playing it was only two player, but Em had recruited Edward so it was all fair. However, he kept trying to put me off. His current effort is starting up a conversation about Edwards and my argument over how to get in the car.

"But you had an argument about how to get in a car." it wasn't really working though, we were almost finished and I was winning.

"I don't blame him for being jealous, Herby is very handsome." I stated as I won. Again.

Edward decided to join in. "NO! You can't!" he pleaded.

"I'm sorry Edward, but Herby can give me so much more." I said slightly apologetically.

He then shuffled towards me on his knees and rested his elbows on my knees with his hands joined as if to pray. "Please, anything, I'll give you anything you want, just please don't leave me." we were both fighting laughter.

"I'm sorry Edward, honest, I am, but I have to -"

"NO!" I heard as a pixie burst into the room. "You and Edward cant break up!"

We decided to play innocent. "What?" we asked together, the image of innocence, a trick I learned from Alice herself.

"You were going to break up with Edward, you can't Bella! This Herby, who ever he is, he's no good for you!"

"Who's Herby?" Edward asked. "Bella, have you been cheating on me?"

"Apparently, and to think, I didn't even know it."

"Alice, I think you really are crazy." Edward and I both said. Now that time, I really didn't mean it.

"Alice honey, they're just messing with you." Jasper told her as he felt her obviously growing frustration.

"Well, anyway, we're going now, the storm will start by the time we get there and then we can play. The teams are Jasper, Bella, Edward and me against the rest." Jasper and I grinned at that. Both of us together, you have a force to be reckoned with. Add Logan, and you have a force impossible to beat.

As expected, we were winning. It was expected by Alice as well, what with her visions. So what if we already knew who would win? It was still fun to play.

Then Alice stopped, mid pitch, and said there were nomads heading our way. And as we would back in the war, Jasper and I were making plans.

"We could try and pretend you're a vampire." he suggested.

"No, its blatantly obvious I'm not human Jasper, there's this sound you might be hearing, it's called a heart beat, and vampires don't have it. I could just leave."

"No, Alice says one of them is a tracker, and they're close, they'll know someone's just left, he'll start a hunt for you."

"And if I stay, he might take my scent, although it doesn't make you want to drink, it may make him want to hunt me, a prize no one else has caught."

"Buts that's only a possibility."

"But I don't hide behind you either, that'll just make him more curious."

"And we don't want you to far forward, that'll practically hand you on a silver platter to him, begging to be hunted."

"So we're agreed then?"

"Agreed."

"Wow." Emmett said. "And I thought it was freaky when Jasper made plans with himself." I would have laughed, but then the nomads came.

The came in a triangular formation, with the one who looked vaguely French in the lead. Although, he wasn't the leader. It was a well executed ruse, they'd obviously done it many times before, but a ruse all the same.

I was standing with Edward, an we were just behind Carlisle and Esme, who had moved forward to speak with them.

"We heard a game, we thought we might join you." the 'leader' said. He was trying to show confidence in the face of a potential enemy, though we were at least three times more powerful. I counted myself as at least worth two of them. And I am not just being vain and arrogant it's a fact.

"Of course, a couple of our players were just leaving." Carlisle said, waving his hand in the general direction of Edward and I. I made an effort not to glare at him. He was just being a father. He was only trying to protect me.

But, it still puts our plan at risk, this brings their attention to me, and there goes the tracker. He's caught my scent. And a predatory grin declares the beginning of his hunt.

I slammed my palm into my forehead, and Edward grabbed me up, and ran for the house. Idiot. I sat in his arms, muttering about incompetent idiots and ruined plans.

I, quite frankly, wanted this over with. He was a tracker, he's not going to just give up. So I was going to give him a chase. An obvious one, I am 'human' after. I was going to Phoenix, where I was supposedly 'brought up' and where my mother was.

I just haven't told them that yet.
