A/N: Sorry, I haven't updated or replied to your reviews, Internet was out for a month and some weeks after that. After that we lost cable too. =( I was also busy moving.

Bella's POV

I sank my teeth into it's fur coat, and pierced the skin underneath the blood poured into my mouth, the animal tried to fight me, I held it down firmly with my hands, as I drank the animal grew weaker and its movements became slower and more sloppy until it stopped. I released my hold on the animal, and pulled back.

I wiped my mouth with my hand, I noticed that my prey was a wolf. I looked down at my torn and filthy blood-stained clothes, the wolve's claws did not hurt me but they did do damage to my clothes. My abdomen was visible, as well as my knees and calves, but it still covered all the important parts.

I would be more careful next time, so it would stay that way too, I took a deep breath and ran. I hunted some deers, but I wanted something bigger I found a mountain lion and stalked towards it, I crouched ready to pounce.

It layed under a tree, I grinned in anticpation. This was just so easy. I lunged but when I was just a few inches from the mountain lion my head collided with something, we both flew back. I growled instinctively, possessive of my prey and so did he then my eyes widened because I recongnized this face.

I straightened out of my crouch, and stared at him my human eyes had not done him justice, I felt like I was really seeing him. My memory was blurry, but I remembered him. "Edward," I whispered.

His eyes widened, "Bella?" I nodded, he stood in front of me, "Bella you're a vampire," he stated. I nodded again, "Victoria changed you?" he asked incredously. "Edward, she tried to kill me."

He pulled me into his chest, "Bella." Suddenly, I began sobbing overcome with emotion, this wasn't the way things were supposed to happen, the way I was to be changed. Edward rubbed my back with his hand and smoothed down my hair, as he comforted me, "It's alright now, you're here with me."

I nodded, and raised my hands to wipe away my tears but when I did I realized that I had no tears. Vampires can't cry. He took off his coat and wrapped it around my shoulders, it wasn't because it was cold or at least to humans but to clothe me.

"Come on, let's go home," Edward said. "Aren't you going to eat your mountain lion?" I asked, gesturing to the still sleeping mountain lion. He chuckled, "Let's get you cleaned up first and then we'll finish hunting."

"Alright." We ran together to the house, I observed my surroundings and marveled in the feeling of running. "I think I finally understand why you love speed so much," I said. He grinned, "Hmm, maybe you'll finally go over fifty miles an hour now."

"I'll consider it." We reached the house, it was still gorgeous but there was something different about it I looked at the lawn, there were black patches across the lawn. "What happened to the lawn?" I asked.

"Just the result of burning newborns," Edward answered, I nodded. "Bella!"a pixie-like voice called, running to me with Jasper at her heels, she hugged me. "Everyone was so worried about you, I'm sorry I didn't see it earlier but there were so many sna-decesions and the rain washed away the scents and the mud covered the tracks-"

"Alice!" "Yeah?" "It's ok." Alice stepped back, "Bella you look gorgeous!" she stated. "Really?" I asked. "You haven't seen your reflection yet?" she asked, I shook my head. "You should, come on let's go inside," she said, she took me by the hand and led me inside, "You also need to take a shower, go ahead I'll get your clothes."

I stepped into the bathroom, and gasped when I saw my reflection, "Big difference huh?" I heard Alice say, "Yeah, huge difference," I said. I quickly stripped out of my clothes and stepped into the shower, I stood under the hot water and let it wash away the dirt and blood off my skin. I washed my hair and scrubbed my body with my loofa.

When I was finished I wrapped a towel around my body, I sighed in contentment, it felt nice to be clean again. I put on the clothes Alice picked out for me, and walked downstairs. "Alice," I said, "Yes?" she replied.

"What happened when I fell asleep?" I asked, and walked into the den. She was sitting at the computer desk shopping online, "The newborns marched up to our house, there were so many, we were outnumbered and all so busy fighting so they wouldn't get to you that the worse happened."

"Henry kidnapped me," I stated. She nodded, "I don't understand why the newborns didn't attack him, they just let him go right through us, Jasper thinks Victoria made some type of deal with Henry," she said. "He has a videotape," I said, suddenly remembered, "he showed it to me, right before-" I cleared my throat, "right before I fainted."

Alice eyed me suspiciously, "Anyway, after Henry was far away enough with you, Victoria left and when we tried to chase her the newborns formed a circle and surrounded us, they bought her time and soon they left too."

"They left?" I asked incredously, she nodded, "It was all planned, they just needed us occupied to get to you, some of us thought you were dead after the first two days some of us thought it was too late." "But, still we kept looking for you, we looked for Henry, Melissa, and Victoria but it was like they disappeared."

"She thinks I'm dead Alice, she tried to kill me, almost did actually," I said. She smiled sadly, "I know, but I saw you as a vampire, coming back home with Edward, I'm sorry I didn't see anything earlier the wolves have been messing with my visions."

"How?" I asked.

"I can't see wolves, they're blank and when they become involved with your future yours is blank to me too." "Alice, do you think that Victoria changed them?" I asked, she shrugged, "Maybe, that or she killed them she doesn't need them or her newborn army anymore now that she thinks you're dead."

I nodded, "Now tell me about this videotape you mentioned," she said. "Henry videotaped you guys fighting the newborns, Victoria was in it too." She groaned, "Oh no, Bella where did they take you? Maybe we can find the videotape there if anyone sees that videotape specifcally humans there are going to be some serious consquences."

"I'm going to call Carlisle," she said. I nodded again, Alice dialed Carlisle's number, "Alice, where's Edward?" I asked. "He went to go tell the wolves that you're back, Rosalie is out hunting, Emmet and Jasper are in Florida." "Florida?" I asked confused.

"To protect your parents, just in case Henry follows through, some wolves are with them too." She paused, I heard Carlisle's voice answer the phone.

"Hello, Carlisle? We have a problem."


Alice and I ran together, we stopped in front of the house I stared up at it for a short moment, "I'll take downstairs, you look upstairs," Alice said, I nodded and we ran inside. The rooms were dusty, I could tell that Melissa and Henry left in a hurry they left some clothes behind, I took one and sniffed it.

Again, I was shocked by my self-control, I wasn't wild with thirst even though I did find the scent of his blood appealing. I searched through drawers, and looked under the beds, in the closet, everywhere.

I stamped my foot in frustration, "Oh, my God," I heard Alice say. "Alice? Are you ok?" I asked, she didn't answer. Worried, I ran downstairs and found Alice in the basement. I looked around, the broken handcuffs, the bloody mess and Bella-shaped cracks in the walls, I winced at the memories. Alice slowly turned to face me, "Bella," she said, "Bella, I'm so sorry." She hugged me fiercely, I hugged her back, "I'm so sorry," she said again, sobbing.

"It's alright, Alice it's not your fault you did all you could and that was more than enough for me."
