A/N: Well, here's the next chapter! Enjoy!

Edward's POV

This could not be happening. This could not be happening. This could not be happening.

Those were the only words floating through my mind as we searched for Bella.

We traced her scent to the meadow. Then it disappeared.

"This means that Victoria caught up with her here and carried her off." Jasper whispered.

That would mean that Victoria would have her, no, that can't be. Even as a vampire, she's a danger magnet. I tried to convince myself that we would find her.

"We're going to have to trace Victoria's scent." I said. "That's the only way we can find Bella."

"We can't do it alone. With her gift being speed, she'll definitely outrun us. We're going to need some help."

"Help, from whom?" Esme asked.

"The werewolves."

"What!" was the exact answer from all of the rest of us. Alice's jaw couldn't drop any further without it falling off her face. Jasper was doing his best to hide his shock, but his best wasn't good enough. Even Esme looked surprised. I'm not even sure what my face looked like.

"The werewolves can help, can they not? We've made the treaty, maybe if I were to go…"

"No," I interrupted, "I'll go, it'll work out for the best, I can go and ask for their help."

"I'll call Rosalie, the two of them can help." Alice offered.

"You'll be interrupting their honeymoon." Jasper mumbled.

"So, Emmett said he wanted to tear Victoria to shreds if we found her, I don't think he'll care. Besides, they have eternity to get back to their honeymoon and they'll have a hundred more."

Jasper rolled his eyes. "True."

"I'll go tell Bella's family what's going on, they'll need to know." Carlisle said. "I won't tell them everything, just the basics."

"I'm staying on Victoria's scent." Jasper said.

"I'll help you." Esme said.

"Is that all?" Carlisle glanced around, we seemed to have covered everything. "All right, let's head out."

Esme and Jasper tore off into the woods after Victoria's scent. Alice went off in the direction of home. Carlisle and I both headed off in the direction of Forks.

We split up once we got there. Carlisle headed to Charlie's house, I headed off to La Push.

It didn't take me long to get there. I found my way to Jacob's place by his scent. I knew it well enough.

He was still living in his father's old house. I rang the doorbell. He didn't come to the door, instead he came out around from the back of the house.

"Sorry, I was in the shed." Then he saw who it was. Just because we had a treaty didn't make us friends.

"What brings you here?"

"Bella, Victoria has taken her."

"Why that nasty little bloodsucker!" I froze at his words, trying not to let them anger me.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to offend you."

I shrugged it off. "We need all the help we can get."

"I'll round up the pack and we'll…help you. But I'm going to say this: I'm only helping you because it's Bella. And because Victoria's killed on our land. We aren't meant to work together."

"Bella has a way of getting around every rule." I said.

Jacob snorted. "You are right." Then, he ran off, changing on the way, to round up the pack.


Alice's POV

I ran off in the direction of home. Mainly because I had more service there. Rosalie's number was still in my recent calls list. I dialed it.

Alice, what is it now? I'm busy

"Sorry Rose, it's just, we've run into Victoria, and we wondered if you'd like to help us tear her to shreds."

Oh, you've found her! Where is she?

"Somewhere in Washington. The bad thing is, she has Bella and her gift is speed. We can't outrun her, but maybe we can outsmart her. I just thought the two of you would enjoy helping us kill her."

I can't wait. Emmett! We need plane tickets! Alice, I'd better go, I need to pack. See you when we get there.

Mission accomplished. Now, I could go after Victoria.

Victoria and Bella were standing on a cliff. Victoria was on the verge of pushing Bella off into the ocean. Bella would survive, but it would be torture. Apparently Victoria's plan was torture, then kill.

I wasn't sure where the cliff was, but I knew which direction the ocean was. I headed off in that direction. Cliffs plus ocean… La Push had places like that.


Carlisle's POV

I went for Charlie's house. I knew where it was all too well. I rang the doorbell.

Charlie answered. "Why Dr. Cullen, what brings you here?"

"Bella. We have run into a slight issue with another vampire. She seems to want revenge for what we did to her mate last spring. Do you remember the story?"

"Well enough." Charlie said.

"Well, she's back and has taken Bella. Esme and Jasper are after her now. Edward and Alice have gone to get some help. We just thought you might want to know where she is."

"Wait, you mean to tell me that some revenge-seeking vampire has my daughter!"

"I must ask you not to get involved. If you do, it might cost you your life, or Bella's existence. Now, may I ask, where is Bella's mom? Bella was supposed to meet her to go looking for houses. It would probably be best if she knew too."

"She's in the living room, do you want to talk to her?"

"Yes please."

Charlie disappeared into the house to return with a nervous-looking Renee.

"What's wrong with Bella?"

I found myself explaining yet again what was going on and yet again explaining that she can't go after her. The last thing we need is a few human deaths on our hands. Even if we aren't the ones who killed them.

My cell phone decided it was going to ring just then. I answered it as soon as I saw that it was Alice calling.

"Alice? What's up?"

I need you to head over to La Push now! Victoria's got Bella there, she's going to push her off a cliff. Apparently she's going to torture, then destroy.

"Not if we can get there first." I muttered.

Exactly. But I can't do this alone.

"I'm on my way."

I hung up the phone to find two very nervous looking parents looking at me.

"If you'll excuse me, we have found where Victoria has Bella. I have to go."

With that note I ran off.


Jasper's POV

I tore off in the direction that Victoria had taken Bella. The scent was fresh, maybe only ten minutes old. We might have just missed them.

But as we traveled, the scent got weaker. Victoria's gift was speed. She was obviously losing us.

The scent doubled back and it took a few seconds for us to realize what happened. Finally, we were back on track. We were heading in the direction of town.

The scent abruptly turned when we got near town. It headed west, toward the ocean. Down in the direction of La Push.


Esme's POV

I followed Jasper some of the time, sometimes he followed me. I hated Victoria with all my heart. She took the one girl I loved just as much as my own two daughters. This meant war.

The trail was tricky. Victoria must have known we would follow after. So, instead of relying on just pure speed, she left a few tricks in her wake.

We almost reached town when the trail suddenly headed off to the west and down towards La Push. Interesting, if not ironic.


Rosalie's POV

I had just hung up the phone with Alice when Emmett appeared with tickets to Forks.

"Pack all your things Emmett, I think something is trying to tell us that we don't belong in Europe anymore. Maybe when this mess with Victoria is over, we'll head to Canada."

Emmett only shrugged. The two of us packed our things away for the last time. Our time in Europe was over, for this decade at least.


Emmett's POV

"So, what's going on?" I asked, printing out the tickets.

"Victoria's back. She has Bella and is going to destroy her like we did James."

"So that's why we're heading back?"

"Mm-hmm. That and I really want to go to Canada. We've been in Europe since the middle of August. I think it's time we go somewhere else."

"Fine by me. I can't wait to wring Victoria's neck."

"Not if I get to her first."

I had to hand it to Rosalie. I year ago, she wouldn't have even bothered to kill a vampire that had taken a human. But a year ago, we didn't know Bella.

Heck, six months ago she wouldn't have done it. But that was before she stopped being jealous of Bella's humanity.

I packed my things and pretty soon, I found myself on yet another plane. Though, this one just might be the last for a while.


A/N: More to come soon! Hopefully tomorrow...
