Hi, hello, bonjour :D

Thank you so much for the feedback! I really appreciate it and it's very encouraging!

I already know what I'm going to do so please don't leave any "suggestions" in the comments - to be honest I just don't appreciate it and it doesn't make me want to write, on the contrary... - I'm just one of those people, sorry :/ -

Anyway, I hope you'll like this part, I don't know when I'll be posting the next chapter, might be tomorrow, might be in a month, who knows?

Thank you again for all the follows and faves... and... enjoy!

:D

Well, shit.

Bella had never had much luck while playing any sport, but baseball would be the one in which she had had the worst luck so far. And she wasn't even playing.

"I'm Laurent. And this is Victoria, and James."

They had just arrived from the forest, appearing behind the mist, and made their way onto the middle of the field in only a few seconds.

She was standing close to Edward, hiding a little behind him on his left. She had to keep her eyes down. Even though the Cullens didn't have the same red eyes as the nomads, Bella's eyes color was too obviously different.

"I'm Carlisle. This is my family."

Bella couldn't even imagine how relieved he must have been that Angie wasn't there. Probably as much as she regretted to have joined them.

"Hello," Laurent smiled. He obviously didn't want any trouble, the three of them all seemed curious about the yellow eyed vampires who were standing before them. Victoria and James, on the other hand, looked like they both liked to cause a little trouble.

"I'm afraid your hunting activities have caused something of a mess for us."

"Our apologies," Laurent immediately said, he looked sincere. "We didn't realize the territory had been claimed."

"Yes. Well, we maintain a permanent residence nearby."

"Really?" Laurent asked, obviously surprised. "Well, we won't be a problem anymore. We were just passing through."

"The humans were tracking us, but we led them east. You should be safe," the red-haired said with a proud grin.

"Excellent," Carlisle smiled and nodded politely.

"So," Laurent chuckled. "Could you use three more players?"

Bella could feel the tension and she wondered how the three nomads hadn't heard her heartbeat yet. Not that she wanted that. She noticed Edward was focused on James, as if he was listening. She wished she knew what made him so tense, so… afraid.

"Sure, why not?" Carlisle agreed. "A few of us were leaving, you could take their place. We'll bat first," he said before he threw the ball at Laurent, but it's Victoria who caught it.

"I'm the one with the wicked curved ball," she said which made Emmett and Jasper laughed.

"Oh well I think we can handle that," the empath said.

They all started laughing and moving away, except for James and Edward. Bella tried to step back and take Edward with her, but he wasn't moving. As she turned around, the wind blew her hair and brought her scent to James, who caught it instantly.

"You brought a snack."

Well, shit.

Everything after that happened really fast. Edward pushed Bella towards Esme and the rest of the family just tried to shield her from the nomads.

"A human?" Laurent said as he positioned himself next to James.

"The girl is with us," Carlisle told them. "I think it best if you leave."

A few seconds of silence passed, they seemed like hours to Bella.

"I can see the game is over," Laurent said. "We'll go now." He was holding his hands up, trying to show them they were cooperating and that there wouldn't be any problem.

Laurent stepped back but James and Victoria didn't move and stayed in their offensive positions.

"James," Laurent called.

Both vampires hissed as they moved back and turned around.

"Get Bella out of here," Carlisle said to Edward. "Go."

The next thing she knew, Edward had caught her arm and dragged her to the car in which they had come with. As he drove away, he couldn't stop talking about leaving Forks, moving as far away as possible.

"He's not gonna stop," he said. "I read his mind. My reaction on the field set him off. I just made this his most exciting game ever. He's never gonna stop," he repeated.

"What should we do?" Bella asked, terrified, hoping there was a way for this to stop in a not too bad way.

"We have to kill him," Edward answered. "Rip him apart and burn the pieces."

"Where are we going?" she asked when she didn't recognize the road.

"Away from Forks. We'll get a ferry to Vancouver."

"I have to go home, now! You have to take me home!" she demanded.

"You can't go home. He's gonna trace your scent there, it's the first place he's gonna look!"

"But my dad is there! And Angie! We can't just… They could get killed because of us!"

"Just let me get you out of here first, all right?"

"It's Angie! And my dad! We have to go back! Edward! Bring me home!"

The plan was simple. Go home, tell Charlie she was leaving back to Phoenix, quickly pack a bag and get the hell out of there.

Only, when they arrived at the Swan residence, the street was lit with blue and red colors, and there were police cars everywhere.

"Oh my God," Bella breathed out, almost crying, getting out of the car as soon as Edward slowed down. It's amazing that she didn't fall over, as she ran out of the car while it was still moving.

"Dad!" she shouted as she ran passed between two police cars and saw him standing next to her red truck, talking to two coworkers of his.

"Bella!"

As soon as he saw her, his worry turned into relief that lasted for about a second.

"Where have you been?" he asked. "I've been calling you!"

"I… sorry, my phone must have… what… what's going on?" she asked, looking around her, seeing all the policemen in front of her house.

"It's Angie," Charlie said. "I… I heard her scream and I… when I got out of the house she wasn't there, just…" he looked down and Bella saw he was holding Angie's backpack in his hand.

"Oh my God," she breathed out, tears filling her eyes. This was all her fault.

"I think whoever took her also killed Waylon," Charlie said with a trembling voice. "I think he's coming after her because of me."

"No, dad it's not your fault," Bella instantly said as she hugged him.

"How did you come back? Did Edward bring you here?"

"Yes," she said as she pointed at the jeep.

"I think you should go with him. Stay at his house tonight, until it's safe here," he said. "I can't lose you too, just… just go and be careful okay?"

"But… what about Angie?"

"We'll be looking for your sister, Bella, don't worry. I won't stop until I find her," he promised, to her and to himself. "Go now."

Bella hugged her father one more time before she rushed back towards the car.

"He took her," she said as he drove away. "What are we gonna do?"

Edward sighed. "She's probably safe."

"Probably?!"

"He probably took her so he can have you in exchange."

"What if he didn't? What if he… what if she's dead?" she asked as tears fell down her cheeks.

"She's not," he shook his head. "I read in his mind… It's you he wants. He took Angie to get to you. I'm sure of it."

"This is all my fault," she whispered.

"No, it's not. It's my fault, it's my fault you were there…"

"What are we gonna do now?" she sniffed.

There was a moment of silence before Edward answered.

"I don't know."
