Hey all my buddies!

So I actually got motivation and here is another chapter. And the most surprising part, you didn't have to wait forever and a day to get it.

Not much to say here, but all mistakes are mine and the characters (besides Alison) do not belong to me.

Hope everyone in the U.S. has a great Memorial Day weekend and get to have some fun with friends and family.

Without further to do, onwards!

If I thought the "on guard" mode of the pack was annoying, the "high security" mode was just ridiculously annoying. The joint Packs had multiple people on patrol all the time. They also always had at least two people guarding the house, only one if Josh or Seth were there. Then always one patrolling the coast, in case he came by boat. Then lastly, one running the hiking paths coming from the closest mountains and hills. Though I tried to tell them that was useless since Jesse was not outdoors person. So in total there were at least five or six wolves running around just because of me. Oh, and there were also the Cullens who were all on guard with Alice watching.

I was just surprised that I didn't need to have any escorts to the bathroom. You never know when your crazy ex-boyfriend might sneak up on you from the toilet. Though, I guess those few times when I was alone, Alice was able to see me. And when you thought too much on that, it became a bit weird.

"Alison?" I heard a voice bring me out of my thoughts. I turned and saw everyone looking at me and I knew I missed something. Lately, my mind has been distracted, which was no surprise to anyone. Half the week had already passed by without a hitch, and no more letters.

"Umm…sorry, what did I miss?"

"They just announced the nominees for Prom Queen and you're one of them," Kaiya told me excited.

"Oh, cool. Wait, am I able to go to Prom?" I asked the last part quietly looking at Seth, since Ryan was sitting with us today.

"There's at least going to be three wolves there and there might be a couple extra outside just to make sure. So yes, were going no matter what. Especially if you get crowned Prom Queen," he whispered smiling at me.

"Seth, you'll die when you see her in the Prom dress," Sophie told him. "Ryan has already tried multiple times to get a little sneak peek of my dress," she said playfully slapping his arm.

Ryan started to join our little group after the Sadie Hawkins Dance. Though it may not be imprinting we could tell that they were perfect for each other. Even if it was just a teen romance, we couldn't help but be happy for Sophie.

"How could I not? You keep telling me how amazing you'll look that night and it makes it hard not to try and get a little peek at it," he defended himself.

"Don't worry Ryan I get the same thing from this one," Brady told him.

"That's one benefit of not having a girlfriend I'm a free man to do whatever I want," Cameron commented.

"Talking about girlfriends whom they're all taking to the Prom," Sarah said as she gestured to the guys, "who are you taking or don't I want to know."

"Don't worry I'm not taking Danni. I'm thinking of asking Stacey to the dance," he shrugged.

"I think you should, she's nice and sweet," I replied.

"And she's not overly prissy like Danni was. I swear she was one 'O-M-G' away from me hitting her," Sophie added making us all laugh with her impression of Danni.

The rest of the day went smoothly and just like we used to Seth and I walked home, though it was sprinkling a bit, I didn't mind. Besides Seth held me closer making sure I didn't get cold from the rain as well as letting me wear his hoodie.

"Who's our escort today?" I sighed looking into the trees.

"Sam and Paul," he replied after taking a quick look. I looked to trees on either side and gave whoever it was on that side a thankful smile. Though I hated feeling like an infant—watched all the time—I didn't want them to think I didn't appreciate everything they were doing. It had to get annoying for them too after a while.

When we got to my house Seth checked the mail, since after the letter came I rarely checked it anymore. I would be able to tell if he got closer by everyone's reactions. So I headed inside and sat my book bag by the table, since Seth and I would most likely be starting homework.

"Nothing," Seth exclaimed as he set the mail on the counter. "I guess he figured he's close enough that you don't need to know what his next move is."

"Well I'm sure if he comes he won't get near me with two Packs of werewolves and a large coven of vampires just waiting for him."

"True," he sighed falling into the seat next to me at the kitchen table as he held me close. I sighed happily melting into his embrace. He leaned down kissing me softly and I welcomed it. Quickly, the kiss escalated, both of us knowing that we needed to take advantage of our alone time, which were few and far between.

"We need to get our homework done, because we have a test in math tomorrow and I have no idea what the hell it's over," he laughed as he nuzzled my neck.

"I guess," I sighed pulling away to grab my bag. Before I was able to, he leaned down and kissed me quickly one last time making me smile.

The rest of the time we worked on homework, well actually it was more like me teaching Seth the last couple weeks of math over again. Once we were done and Seth was ready for the test tomorrow, we went and watched a movie as the rest of my family got home.

The next couple days went like that, with no letters or anything from Jesse. And with nothing showing up I was able to convince the Packs to cool down just a bit and they listened to me. So for the first time in a while nothing came from Jesse for a full week.

Since the first letter from Jesse, we made sure to keep the La Push and Forks police up to date on what was happening. So Charlie decided to call the Seattle police to tell them to keep a look out for him. They had orders that if they did find him, they needed to arrest him and send him back to Cleveland.

With nothing coming from Jesse, I think we were all hoping that the Seattle police found him and sent him back. Or at least that's what I was hoping. But my hope was always squashed due to the confirmation call of it never happening.

Another week started of school and still nothing. I was slowly starting to get more freedom back—thanks to my persistence in asking for them to lay off a bit more each day—and at the beginning of the week the Pack had only one person having to be by my house if Josh or Seth weren't there with me.

The week kept going by and still nothing from Jesse. So the Packs decided that they were able to take the 24/7 watch over me off with the agreement that Alice couldn't see anything happening to me. So they mostly stayed concentrated on the routes that Jesse could take that would lead him into La Push.

I was able to convince the Packs that Jesse is not one for a long strung out plan. That if he was going to do anything that he would've done it. Also, it is possible that he paid people he knew in the cities to send me a post card and that he was still in Cleveland. I couldn't be happier to finally have some of my freedom back.

Saturday came around and I was heading to the Cullen's a bit happy, mostly being that I didn't feel like a caged animal anymore. Also, I was getting excited for Prom and Alice was going to 'practice' doing my hair for Prom, as if she really needed it. Even though I agreed to this because of that cursed, I was excited to be able to see what she planned to do to it. And also I was excited to tell her that I was in the running to be Prom queen, which I'm sure she already knew with having to watch me so much.

When I pulled up to the house I pulled my car into the garage, to see an already grease stained Rose waiting for me. I agreed to let her have fun playing with my car while Alice got to do my hair. Bella was happy that she and Edward got a day out together since Nessie was going to happily help Alice. And Jasper and Emmett got to do manly things that they couldn't do with the girls around. So I was just making all the Cullens happy today.

"Just so you know, I'll probably have your car done before Alice is done with you," Rose told me.

"I don't doubt that at all," I laughed as I tossed her the keys. "Oh and whatever parts you ordered I'll pay you for them since it's my car."

"Whatever floats your boat," she shrugged as she popped the hood and started working.

When I got inside the house I was greeted with a very excited Nessie facing the door bouncing up and down on the balls of her feet. There was no doubt that she spent time with her very energetic aunt.

"Alice is upstairs getting everything ready," she told me as she grabbed my hand and literally dragged me upstairs. I would never get over how small she is yet she so strong thanks to her vampire genes.

Once we were upstairs, I was then pulled into what I supposed was Alice's bathroom. Nessie let go of my hand and I just looked at everything spread out. There were curlers, pins, brushes, clips, makeup and bottles of hairspray all sprawled out. If you never saw their bathroom before you would think that the counter was non-existent.

"Sit," Alice told me excitedly and I quickly obeyed not wanting to be thrown into the chair.

I looked in the mirror to see Alice running a brush through my hair with a thoughtful look on her face. Nessie was standing beside her with the same look and I couldn't stop the laugh that escaped through my lips.

"What, with you possibly being Prom Queen we need to make sure your hair is perfect along with your dress," Alice told me.

"You know I was going to tell you that, but it doesn't surprise me at all that you already know."

"Well keeping an eye on you 24/7 does that," she laughed.

"Since you know that I'm nominated can you tell me if I won or not?" I asked hopeful.

"Nope, that you'll just have to wait for," she replied.

I huffed pouting a bit as her and Nessie laughed at my reaction. Then after another thoughtful minute Alice started to begin her work on perfecting my hair. Whenever she needed anything Nessie would grab it off the counter and hand it to her like the amazing assistant she is for Alice.

In the middle of getting my hair done Esme came in with a sandwich telling me I should eat something for lunch. That was the only record of time that I had and it surprised me that, at that time, Alice was still working on my hair for a couple hours and still wasn't done with it. But she was taking her time, probably making it a picture perfect match to the vision she saw sometime before.

As Alice was nearing the end of working on my hair Nessie started to work on my make up after my permission. The whole time she was doing it Alice was helping her and I could tell, that though she may be Bella's daughter she definitely had a bit of Alice in her as well. When she was getting done with my make up Rose came in informing me that my baby was going to run a lot better than before. I thanked her as she left to get all the grease and whatever else was on her off.

Finally, after I'm not sure how long, Alice was finally done and I was able to see the finished product. And to say I was very surprised and pleased would be an understatement. My hair and makeup was flawless and I was literally speechless as I pictured all this done and me having my dress on. When I pictured it all put together I couldn't help the excited squeal that escaped my lips. Quickly, I got up and gave both Alice and Nessie the biggest hug I could muster.

"Yay she likes it," Nessie said excited. "Do you like your makeup?"

"I love it, all of it, you did an excellent job," I told her giving her another hug along with a few tickles.

"Good and I promise it won't take that long for me to do it for your Prom. I just like to take my time with these things. Besides sometimes it's nice not to have to rush through the beautifying part. But you should get here about three hours before Seth is planning on picking you up so that we have enough time. And make sure you get a good night's sleep before, because it helps make it a lot easier to make you look perfect."

"Okay, I think I got most of that. But if not you should probably call me the day before since I know that day will be a bit crazy." I looked at the time on my cell. "Hey I got to go; Seth and I were going to have a simple movie-in date."

"Okay, and make sure he doesn't see the hair at all."

"Don't worry, Alice, I won't. Thanks to both of you again," I said giving both of them another hug and kiss on the cheek.

"You're welcome," Nessie beamed up at me. "Make sure Seth doesn't mess up your makeup," she demanded.

"Don't worry I'll make sure to take it off so it doesn't get all messed up when I kiss him." Her only response was giggling which I couldn't help but laugh along with her at her reaction to us kissing, just like any other little girl.

"Well you shouldn't keep lover boy waiting," Alice teased.

I said goodbye to them once more before heading downstairs and saying a quick goodbye to Esme and Rose. When I turned my car on it sounded completely perfect and just let out a happy purr of the engine. The smile on my face as I started to drive it probably made me look like an idiot. But I couldn't help it.

The day was going perfectly. It was kind of sunny. I just had my hair and makeup done by the best duo every. My car was working better than if I bought it straight off the assembly line. And now I was heading home to enjoy a perfect simple date with the man that I'll love and be with forever. How much better could life get?

I heard my cell phone start ringing as I pulled onto the highway from the Cullen's freaking long driveway.

"Hello?"

"You know just hearing your voice brings that stupid smile to my face," the voice said lovingly. It's the only one that was able to make the stupid smile appear on my face and make my insides melt.

"We're even because your voice can do the exact same thing."

"Good to know. Are you still at the Cullen's?"

"Nope, just heading home and I must say my hair, super freaking amazing. And Nessie did an excellent job on my makeup. You'll love it when you see it at Prom."

"Why can't I see your hair and makeup now?"

"Because, I want you to get the full affect and see everything together. And besides you're reaction to all of it will be better that way."

"Can you at least describe it so I can picture what you might look like?"

"Well my hair has lots of hairspray and pins in it. My makeup is on my face. And my dress is made out of material they use to make clothes out of."

"Thanks that's so helpful," he replied sarcastically.

"You're very welcome," I laughed.

"When can I come over so we can start our mini movie marathon?"

"I'm not sure. Alice used so much hairspray I'm not sure how long it'll take to get out. And that'll be after I find all of the millions of pins in my hair. So I'll just call you once I'm ready. That is unless you want to come over and help search for all the pins in my hair."

"No, I don't think you'll want me to do that. I might accidently rip a chunk of your hair out. And it'll probably make me feel like one of those monkeys on Discovery channel when they groom each other," he chuckled.

"That's fine, so I'll call you later because I'm just pulling into my driveway."

"Okay, later. Love you."

"Love you too."

I hung up the phone parking my car in the driveway since Josh's was in the garage and I had to leave the other two spaces open for my parents when they get home. We really needed to get a big enough garage for all of our cars. Because this whole hoping the garage is open is getting kind of annoying. But for now I just shrugged it off as I grabbed my purse and headed into the house.

I wasn't surprised that the house was empty and a bit dark since it was getting later and overcast. As I closed the door behind me I heard my phone ringing again and saw it was Alice calling. Right as I was about to answer it something else more alerting and important got my attention.

"You know it's rude to not greet people when you come home. Mostly when that person drove over twenty-five hundred miles to just see you and also that this person hasn't seen you for over a year."

I looked up and saw my worst nightmare come true and my body froze. I couldn't believe or comprehend that he was here in my house, acting as if this was an everyday occurrence. Or if anything, that we were still at least friends.

He was leaning against the wall, arms crossed and one leg crossed in front of the other, turned facing me. His brown locks were buzzed short. No longer were his eyes the vibrant, warm, lively green-blue they were before. Now they looked like cold, hard deadly fate waiting to take me. I could tell that he was more muscular by the way the fabric of his shirt and jacket stretched across his form.

"Why don't you look lovely my dear," he said in a sickening sweet voice that made my insides churn. "Is Prom happening soon in this shit town? You're sure to win Prom queen with that hairdo paired with a stunning dress you probably already have picked out."

"Wha…wh….what are you….what are you doing here?" I stuttered stupidly as my brain was finally starting to work again.

"I got out of jail on good behavior," he smirked a sadistically.

"You're breaking your parole as well as the restraining order."

"You don't care I know you wanted to see me as much as I wanted to see you. You know as well as I do we belong together."

"No we don't. I found someone who really loves me. You never did and besides I love him."

"Oh, yes, you mean your little boy toy named…Sam…Steve…no, Seth is it? I think all this tainted reservation air got to your head. You belong to me, remember," he practically growled as he started towards me.

"Don't get any closer," I warned in a shaky voice. I couldn't help the fear starting to spread through my body. I knew if I screamed Seth would be able to hear me. But would he make it in time? And if I did scream would Jesse kill me that much faster and leave my body for my family to find?

"And what are you going to do if I do?" he challenged still stepping closer.

"I'll—"

"You'll what?" he spat. "Scream? You won't have time because you're already trapped and now we'll be able to continue our forever together once again." With every step he got closer until I was trapped between him and the front door. Once again my phone went off and he grabbed it throwing it against the wall breaking it.

I knew it was Alice probably just finding out what was happening. Now that my phone was broken I prayed that she would call Seth in time. Since I couldn't be positive about anything at this point I decided to just scream and take the chances.

I quickly opened my mouth taking a deep breath. But as I did Jesse quickly covered my mouth with a thick cloth as I took the deep breath. As I started to quickly drift into unconsciousness I knew he planned on me screaming and had a chloroform cloth ready.

Please Alice, help me, I prayed as I started to feel the heavy darkness take me over. My groggily mind started to think of Seth and what would happen to him if anything happened to me. The main thought was if I would ever see him again, and the only thing I could do was hope I was and soon. Seth…I love you.

Alice POV

I was doing Renesmee's hair since I promised I would do hers after Alison's. As I was starting to curl it a vision hit me hard.

Alison was laying there in a dimly lit room. Her body wasn't moving but as I looked closer I saw bruises and wounds all over her body. The clothes she had on were the ones that matched the ones I just saw her in. But in here they were torn and bloodied.

Then a figure came out of the shadows with a scowl on their face. When his face hit the light he looked like the picture Josh showed us of Jesse, though his hair was different. He kneeled beside her head as he grabbed her chin roughly with his hand making her face him.

"Last chance," he growled as I saw him reach behind his back for something that was covered by the jacket.

"Seth," Alison said in a very weak whisper.

"Fine," Jesse sneered as he threw her head back down against the hard floor. And a quiet whimper escaped her lips as a pool of blood started to run into her hair and on the floor.

He stood over her in a secure stance as the hand behind his back whipped around to his front. In his hands was a gun pointed straight for Alison's head. "I'll kill you then your precious Seth for taking you from me," he growled with a small hint of sadness. "Goodbye," he said as his finger pulled back the trigger and the whole vision went black with the resounding sound of a gunshot being the last thing.

"Alice?" I head Nessie asked worried. I looked down at her and told her to wait there.

Quickly I got my cell phone and dialed Alison's number.

"Hey, it's Alison. I'm not able to get my cell but leave me some voicemail loving and I'll get back to ya ASAP, lata," her automated voicemail said.

I cursed under my breath dialing her number again only to be greeted with her voicemail once again. I kept trying hoping that she was just away from her phone and not with Jesse. As I kept getting her voicemail I started to curse myself for not seeing this sooner and keeping her here.

On my fifth try it went straight to voicemail. I hung up quickly and dialed the Clearwater's hoping either Seth or Leah was home.

"Hello," I heard Seth's deep voice.

"Seth is Alison there with you?" I asked quickly.

"No why?" he asked. I could practically hear the worry start to rise in his voice.

"Jesse…"

So, thoughts?

I know it's a bit of a cliffe, but as always I will try to get the next chapter up sooner than later. And with a longer weekend and no real plans, I actually might be able to do that.

Let me know what you thought. Reviews are better than no cliff hangers.

Until next time, stay safe and happy,
