Author's POV

Daniella whipped her head round to the sound of the snapped twig.

"Who's there?"

Nothing. The only answer she got was a gust of wind.

"Jake if it's you, leave me alone! I don't want to talk to you"

Daniella heard the crunch of leaves and the sound of various footsteps.

"We need to go" a deep voice said.

"You idiot! She can hear us!" a woman hissed. Daniella's ears pricked up, she recognized the voice. Now all she needed to do was remember where she knew it from.

"Sister, we need to go" the deep voice said again.

"I agree. To ensure both yours and her safety, we should go. You wont be able to control it if she hurts you, you know how they act when they hunt" another voice said.

'Do they know what I am?' Daniella thought to herself.

There was a grunt and some more crunch of leafs before finally, the woods became quiet.

Daniella ran back to the hotel baffled and flustered.

Daniella POV

I walked into our room and was met with angry and relieved faces.

"Where the hell have you been?!" Jacob shouted, a frown placed on his tanned face.

"I went hunting" I answered with a touch of coolness to my tone.

"Just don't take so long next time. I was so worried," he tried to pull me in to an embrace but I cringed at his touch.

"Don't touch me Jacob Black" I warned.

He flinched and retreated back to the Cullen's. Everyone was looking at me with shock. I had just turned down my imprint, my soul mate.

"What's the matter Dani?" Valkyrie was concerned for me.

I shook my head and touched her arm, showing her the conversation Jacob and Edward were having before I fled to the woods. When I pulled my hand back, Valkyrie was shaking with anger.

"Don't Valkyrie. I'll deal with it" I calmly said.

"But he said... that" she spat.

"I don't care. If he meant it, that's his choice. I can't come between it no matter how hard it is for me".

She clenched her fist to collect shadows and held it up "He better not have meant it".

"Would somebody tell the rest of us what's happening?"Emmett bellowed. We both glared at him and he instantly shut up.

"I think we should get going-" Carlisle suggested.

"-Great idea" I stormed out of the room and ran, at a human pace, to my car.

"Well I can definitely tell that your hunting trip went fabulous" Skulduggery said, his ever-present grin widened as we approached his prized Bentley. I wonder what his reaction would be if his car, I dunno, mysteriously turned pink? I smiled evilly at the thought.

"And there we go! I got a smile from Miss Shadow!" he tapped my window.

"How are you even a detective?"

"That, my dear Daniella, is still a mystery. Even to me."

"What do you want Skulduggery?"

"I want to talk."

"Then talk to someone who gives a damn about what you say"

He sighed and got into the passenger seat of my car "That was uncalled for Daniella".

"What do you want?" I asked again.

"I want to know what happened"

"Nothing happened and anyway if something did happen," I glared at him "which it didn't, then Alice would have see it and told you all about it".

"So something did happen" he stated.

"Nothing happened Skul!"

"They always say that" he muttered.

"Yes, well not all of them are a half vampire- half human hybrid that can do necromancy and some other mumbo-jumbo mystical stuff with the weather, are they?"

"Well I guess not, but I could always go looking for someone like that for you to meet. Hopefully they aren't part werewolf because that would just be awkward..."

"Skulduggery, I really don't want to talk about Jacob right now." It came out of my mouth before I had even thought about it. I mentally slapped myself for my carelessness.

"So it was Jacob, was it? What did he do now?"

"Who said it was Jacob?" I tried covering up my last mistake.

"You did. I mentioned werewolves and you end up naming Jacob. If he did something to you I swear I will rip his head off. Now spill, I want to know"

"I still wonder how you can go from funny and egotistic, to serious and caring, to gossipy and chatty in a matter of seconds"

I heard the familiar click of the door handle and Valkyrie joined us from the back seats along with Alice and Bella.

"I still wonder that too after all these years, he's really confusing" Valkyrie admitted.

"Well, Valkyrie-"

"-Shut it Skul, I want to hear what happened" Alice cut in.

"Stupid future-seeing pixie vampire" he mumbled.

"Stupid egotistical skeleton who forgot I could hear him with my awesome vampire hearing" Alice teased "Now shut up. Daniella is going to tell us in thirty seconds because that's all she has until lover boy gets here"

"Where is everybody?!" I was starting to get impatient.

"You left before Carlisle could add 'after nightfall'" Bella explained "Now start talking"

I stared blankly at her "What do you want to know?"

"Everything. 25 seconds" Alice looked at me.

"It would be faster is I just showed you"

"20. Then show us!"

I grumbled and touched Skulduggery's bony hand, Alice's cold, stone arm and Bella touched Alice's other arm and replayed the conversation Edward and Jacob were having.

"Happy now?"

Alice frowned, Bella looked betrayed and Skulduggery looked pissed. And trust me, if you see a skeleton pissed, it's not pretty.

"10" Alice whispered.

"Perfect actually" Skulduggery seemed to have missed what Alice just said "I have another reason to hit Jacob" Skulduggery clicked his knuckles.

"The first reason is...?"

"He's a werewolf! Werewolves are dogs! Dogs like bones! 'Nough said"

I laughed uncontrollably along with Valkyrie and Bella. Alice just sat there, unmoving. Her eyes were glazed over and her mouth was put into a straight line. She gasped and pulled out of the vision.

"What is it Alice?" I asked.

"Valkyrie, Bella, Skulduggery could you please go?" She asked "And tell Jacob to stay away"

They hesitantly got up and left the car.

"Do you mind?"

She lifted her arm "Not at all".

I touched it and her vision played clearly in my head. The vision was set in the woods that surrounded the hotel. There were boys that seemed to be guarding a young woman with black hair. The strange thing about the boys was that they all looked the same, except the different coloured streaks in their hair. They all looked familiar but I just couldn't place where I had seen them before. I took my hand back and replayed the vision in my mind.

"Who are they?" Alice and Edward said.

"Edward? When did you get here?"

"I heard Alice call my name so I ran here and read her mind. Who are they?" he repeated.

I shook my head "I have no clue" I lied. I was good at lying, I could pull this off. "Probably just curious tourists. They don't have that Italian tan so they can't be from round here. Just don't tell everybody, they'll just get worried"

They didn't look convinced but nodded in agreement anyway.

"We should ge-"

"-Edward, how do your powers work?" I interrupted him.

He gave me a 'You're joking, right?' look but dropped it when he realized I was serious. "At first it was like billions of peoples thoughts buzzing in my head, but after lots of practice, I was able to hone into one persons thoughts at a time" he explained.

"Yes, well, we should get going now" Alice said impatiently.

"You guys go. I just need some time to myself" I stared at the baby blue sky.

"You want to stay in your car for..." she glanced at her watch "...six hours?"

"Who says anything about me staying in the car?"

"Then where are you going?" Edward asked.

I tapped the side of my nose and shooed them out "Bye! I'll be back at 10"

"You better be, the mutt's gonna kill us if you don't!" Alice joked.

"Don't call him a mutt, leech"

"Don't call me a leech, hybrid"

"leech" I muttered.

"Hybrid" we laughed as Edward gave us a look. Suddenly Alice gasped and her eyes glazed over and turned a grey-ish colour. (A/N: I know Alice's eyes don't change colour when she gets visions, but for the purpose of this pic, just go with it) When they turned back to it's usual golden shade, Alice and Edward exchanged looks until their eyes finally landed on me.

"I suggest you get going Daniella" Edward said seriously.

"Why?"

He, rudely, ignored me "Alice go with her"

She got in without hesitation and we swapped seats.

"Again, why?"

"Go"

"No. I will not go until either of you tell me what's going on"

They groaned "Just go" Edward insisted.

"Daniella, don't argue. I just had a vision and there's someone watching you" Alice didn't have the usual hyperactive spirit in her tone anymore.

"So? I think I can look after myself"

"You don't understand. They're the strange people from the previous vision. I heard them talking about you and a vassal of some sort. I dunno, something strange and unusual. The point is, we need to get you as far away from this hotel as possible."

"I... I don't understand. Who's after me? What do they want?" My voice wavered.

"We don't exactly know if they're after you but we can't take our chances" Edward explained.

"Well where are we going to go then? What about the others?"

"The others will be fine, Edward is going to explain the plan to everyone else whilst we are going to a small cafe a few miles west from here. We'll stay there till about 9pm, then we'll take a different route to the Volturi's castle and meet up with everyone there." Alice said quickly.

"OK. Let's get going."

Now before you start throwing stuff- *Ducks behind a chair*. Aggressive much? And to think I was going to apologize for not updating because of my exams, me being sick and what-not.

Anyway, before I was rudely interrupted by all the furniture being thrown at me, I wanted to say a huge 'thank you' to Raychaell Dionzeros for waiting patiently for me to send her this chapter and for taking her time to edit it! Oh and BTW- read her fics! They are great!

Like it? Hate it? Review!- No flames, I hate those!
