Chapter 13

Bold is Alice visions

Italics underlined is talking to Edward in his mind

Meanwhile: indicates when we go from the Cullens to Bella, Jacob and Kasa

Everyone had settled into their Alaska home quickly. They had been here for about a month now and were trying to move on. Alice and Edward were out hunting when suddenly Alice was hit with a vision. Edward eagerly watches along to make sure his family is safe.

The Denali's were in their home playing cards. They were laughing and having a good time. Then they disappeared.

Alice quickly looked ahead a couple of weeks again to make sure they were okay.

The Denali's were out on a hunting trip when they come across a nomad named Garret. They get to know him and he turns out to be Kate's mate.

"Oh," Alice exclaims "We need to make sure they know that." Edward growls "Alice focus, why do they disappear again?" "Well, the last time that happened….OH! Do you think it's Jacob? Could he still be alive?" Edward was shocked, he hadn't even thought of that. "Come on Alice, let's get home and talk with Carlisle. He will know what to do."

They quickly run home and explain the visions to the rest of the family. Rosalie speaks first "Carlisle, do you really think that maybe Jacob has been phasing all these years and is still alive?" "I'm not sure Rose, but it almost seems that way. Maybe finally after all this time we will learn what has happened to him…and Bella." Esme smiles "Oh, to have my child back. I hope he is okay. OH! I need to go buy food, who knows how hungry he might be." Jasper smiles at his mom "While Esme does that I think Emmett and I will head over the Denali's house to tell them what is going on. Alice, do you think Edward and you can figure out when Jacob might be showing up?" "Sure, Jasper, we will try."

Everyone listens as quietly as they can while Edward and Alice breaks down the vision over and over again. It was two hours later when they finally agreed on a time frame. "We are pretty sure they disappear in two weeks from today. But as you heard we will be staying in their house for three days before and after this day to make sure we are there just in case we are wrong. That way maybe if Jacob smells us he will know it's safe to come to the house." Alice explains. Edward shakes his head in agreement "We also think it will help if we run around their property as much as we can too so he smells us sooner. We are hoping this will help and unlike last time he will come to the door. Plus, as soon as he is in range I will hear him. If he changes his mind we will have a warning then and hopefully will be able to get close enough to stop him from leaving."

Emmett pops up "Does anyone else find this weird that Jacob is showing up exactly eighty two years after Bella disappeared from Alice's vision? I mean come on! It's the exact day even!" Everyone stared at him in shock. He was right, exactly eighty two years ago to the day they disappeared Jacob hopefully would be showing up. "Well," Edward said, "Let's just hope this is a good sign. I know I have been waiting years for answers, just like all of you have been too." Everyone nodded their heads in agreement.

After a couple of minutes Carlisle spoke "Alright everyone, let's go get ready. Esme you can go get the food for Jacob the day before we go to the Denali's house. As for right now Jasper and Emmett can go explain what's going on to them. When you are done you can join Alice, Esme, Rose, Edward and I on leaving trails. The more we leave the better our chances of him coming across one is." With hope in their hearts for the first time in years they all left to go and do their part.

Meanwhile:

Because Bella wanted to travel on foot, as she wasn't use to being around humans, it had taken them two weeks to get to Alaska. Since Bella and Jacob had been to the Denali's house before they remember right where to go. They were about twenty miles away when Jacob stopped. Using their special way of talking Jacob told Bella to sit then went and phased to a human. When he and Kasa came back Jacob was smiling.

"What's up Jake? I thought you were going to be in wolf form in case the Denali's tried to attack us." Bella said. "Oh, I'm not worried anymore. Smell very carefully." Bella did as she was told "Wow, that's a lot of vampires. Why aren't you worried again?" Jacob laughed "Bella, that's the Cullens scents! They're here, with the Denali coven, I'm sure of it. And if they are here we are safe." Bella smiled but both Jacob and Kasa could tell she was nervous. "Bella," Kasa said, "I know you are scared but from what both you and Jacob have told me, I know Edward loves you. I mean Jacob even found all your birthday gifts before you left. It will be fine. And you know if for some reason you don't want to stay, we will leave."

Bella smiled at Kasa. She was such a good friend. Bella was so glad they found her not only for Jacob but for herself as well. "Thanks, Kasa. Okay, let's go." "Um, Bella." Bella stopped and looked at Jacob "I am not saying this because I am scared but because I want to pick on Edward." Confused Bella asked "What are you talking about?" "Well remember how he can read minds?" Bella nodded yes so Jacob continued "I was thinking wouldn't it be funny if you shielded us and he couldn't hear any of us. I mean come on, how great would that be? I bet they are here because some how they figured out we were coming so it would totally throw them off if Edward couldn't read anyone's minds." Kasa and Bella laughed. "Okay, Jake. That would be funny but I don't know if Bella should. I mean wouldn't that be a good way for them to know we weren't here to hurt anyone?" Kasa asked. Bella was the one that answered "No, I think it will be okay. I remember Emmett especially always playing jokes on people. They will find it funny. Plus, they aren't violent people anyway. They would ask questions first before acting on anything. And I also have my physical shield so we will be safe." Kasa smiled "Okay, let's do it."

Bella smiled as she wrapped her shield around her two friends. She was now able, because of all her practicing, to wrap the shield around anyone or anything like a second skin. She could also make it bubble out a bit from them as well. "Okay, you're covered." "I can't wait to see Edward's face when he realizes he can't hear us." Jacob said with an evil smile. Bella laughed "Well, let's go before I change my mind again and you don't get to see that look."

As they got closer to the house they could smell more trails left by the Cullens. Jacob wondered out loud "It's almost like they left these trials for us to follow. Do you think they saw us here the last time somehow?" "I'm not sure Jake, but I think your right. It is almost like they are afraid we will leave again." Kasa smiled at them both "They must have missed you both so much." Jacob smiled back at her "Well, we better not keep them waiting any longer then. The house is about six miles that way. Bella, do you want to lead the way?" "Um, not really. Can I follow behind both of you? They might be expecting you but I don't know if they will be expecting me. I mean when they left I was human, they might actually think I am dead. I don't want them to attack me thinking I am an imposter or something." Jacob looked at Bella with sad eyes "I don't think they would attack you. But your right they might not think you will be with me. We will walk in front of you and protect you no matter what. You're our sister, and we protect family." Kasa was nodding along in agreement. "Okay, thanks guys. I am going to stop talking too. I don't want to give the surprising shock away too soon now do I?" Bella replied with a small smile. Jacob pulled her into a tight hug "That's my girl." He released her and grabbed Kasa's hand, "Okay my ladies, this way."

Jacob and Kasa weren't talking either. They really didn't know if the Cullens were expecting them or not. Bella stayed right behind Jacob as he completely hid her from view. She felt much safer there, though she knew Kasa would have blocked her too and protected her she just had known Jacob longer and felt better around him. The closer they got to the house the more nervous Bella became.

When they got to the tree line they had hid in before Jacob turned to look at her and mouthed are you ready to her. At her nod yes Jacob gave her a quick hug and then led them through the tree line.

As they stepped through the line they heard a voice say "I can't hear anyone's mind but I can hear their footsteps like all of you." Jacob turned around and mouthed again that's Edward he must be answering someone's unspoken question. They all smiled and wondered if he was going crazy from not knowing what was going on. Then they heard someone grumble "I hate one sided conversations." Jacob tried hard not to laugh but one came out anyway and mouthed that's Emmett.

They had all taken about five more steps when they door to the house opened and Edward stepped out.

AUTHOR NOTE: Well, here is chapter thirteen. Hope you liked it. Don't hate me for the cliffhanger. What do you think they will do when they realize both Jacob and Bella are alive? What do you think they will think of Kasa? The next chapter is going to be pretty long. I couldn't find the right place to split it up so just left it together. Also, just letting you all know we are getting close to the end now. This is actually good because I am going out of town next weekend and part of that week and wouldn't want to leave you hanging. Chapter fourteen will be up soon. :)
