Disclaimer: I do not, nor will I ever own Twilight. I have used some sentences directly from the book, I don't own them. There are just some descriptions and dialogue that I can't bear to change and or leave out. They were originally and forever owned by Stephenie Meyer.

Before we begin I would like to let you all know that I have the poll up, so if you would like to give your opinion, on whether or not it would be easier to have one long story or four shorter ones, it's ready for you. I want to again thank the people who have already given me their opinions on the matter.

Now as for this chapter I hope you guys like the changes.

Chapter 21

We pulled up to the house that I had never thought I would enter, so soon after leaving. The gate at the entrance loomed over the car, hauntingly.

Toby was one, who used his money wisely. He never had to have the best of anything, except security. He made sure that our family had the best security systems that money could buy, and the human world could provide. He then would use our family's powers to make the equipment even better.

His need to protect was the reason he had bought the house behind this gate. The house alone made protecting his family a little easier. He had felt it was much too large for his small family, but the need to protect overruled in the end.

"What's the code Bella?" Jasper glanced in the review mirror, catching my gaze.

I closed my eyes and rested my head against the seat, trying to calm myself. "Nine, thirteen, twelve, two, eleven, fourteen, seven, eight, nine."

Jasper quickly typed in the thirteen numbers into the keypad.

The gate slowly dragged itself open, Jasper didn't wait until it had opened fully though. Once there was enough room for the car to drive through, he sped up the driveway. We were parked in front of the house a few seconds later.

"Come on, we need to get inside." Jasper offered an arm to Alice and me, escorting us both to the front door.

I grabbed my wallet out of my bag and pulled out a clear card that looked like any other credit card.

Alice and Jasper gave me curious looks as I put one of the corners of the card into the key hold. They gasped as the card morphed in my hand. The now clear substance flowed into the key hole and solidifying into the house key.

I turned the key and opened up the door. Pulling the key out.

Alice took the key from me, a look of wonder in her eyes, as it changed back into a card.

"What was that?" She asked.

I laughed softly and took the card back. "That's the magic of the other world."

Jasper locked the door, urging us to move farther into the house. "Where would you say the safest place in this house is?"

That answer was simple. "That would be the basement."

"Lead the way," he instructed me. I did what he asked.

Being in Toby's house was hard. Walking down the halls, seeing all the pictures, and remembering every memory I had in this place.

I had lived here, trained here; the house had been my sanctuary.

Alice wrapped her arms around my waist, squeezing me gently, comfortingly. "I know it's hard Bella. We could stay at a hotel if you thought it would be safe."

I shook my head. I was safer here, where only my memories could harm me. "It's safer here, and there's stuff in the basement that we could use against the Undermining."

The basement was at the heart of the house, hidden underneath the main living room. This place used to easily house my entire family. Tessa used to complain that it was much too large for just their family.

I grabbed the edge of the rug and pulled it back, revealing a trap down underneath it.

Jasper shook his head. He grabbed the handle and lifted the door. Once we had all gone through he shut it.

Through the floor I grabbed a string connected to the rug, so it would lay back over the door.

"Your cousin sure was thorough." Alice glanced around the basement.

The room was bare.

"I thought you said there was stuff down here." Jasper's look of disbelief brought a smile to my face.

"Like Alice said, my cousin was thorough." I pushed against the opposite wall, sliding it into the rest of the wall. I gestured for them to enter the new space. "Welcome to the basement."

Four couches sat around a large coffee table, in the middle of the room. At the moment they were the only pieces of furniture in the room. I changed that though after typing in the code on the keypad on the wall.

A soft buzzing sound filled the room as the sliding wall slid back into place, sealing us into the room. The locking mechanism groaned as it locked that wall, while unlocking everything else.

A giant screen took over the northern wall, while the southern wall was covered in multiple electronic controllers.

Jasper whistled as the room transformed into the Higginbotham's headquarters. Toby's personal sanctuary. This room had everything Toby could have ever needed for his line of work within the rebellion.

I gently pushed on one of the smaller walls. A door opened, leading into a smaller room that had a bed in it. After heading into the restroom and cleaning up from the trip I joined Alice and Jasper in the main room.

"This place is amazing Bella, but what exactly were you saying we could use against the Undermining?" Jasper glanced at all the stuff.

I went to the wall opposite the one that opened into the bedroom. Sliding a small panel away, I took a bag of equipment out. I set it on the table for them to see.

"This equipment can be used to track. There's different ones to track different things." I picked up a small square device, a sad smile crossing my face.

"What's that?" Alice asked. I could tell she was trying to distract me before I could get lost in memories.

I held the device towards them. "This, is a sign, the device Hunters use to track transitional creatures."

Jasper's eyes narrowed. "Why did Toby have one?"

"This wasn't Toby's," I sighed, "it belong to Grandpa Swan."

"Charlie's dad was a Hunter?" Alice gasped, shock written clearly on her face.

Jasper wasn't any better than her. "Did he live long enough to know about you?"

I shook my head slowly. "Charlie still thinks it's Ironic though. anyway, that's how Charlie knows so much about Hunters."

"His own father was one." Alice looked as if she was struggling to come to turn with that particular news. It had been a shock for me to learn.

I powered on the sign. "Besides tracking Transitional Creatures, this can also alert us to Hunters that are nearby. Thankfully it can't identify the hunter, besides how close they are to us. We wouldn't be able to use this if it gave off the information of what hunter it belonged to."

They nodded.

Alice picked through the bag carefully. She took out a two foot long box. "What's this one for?"

I carefully opened the lid, showing her the different vials of powder. "Healers can use these; they belonged to Tessa."

"Tessa was a healer?" Alice asked cautiously. She didn't want to chance upsetting me. We all stilled worried about what could set off my powers. Seeing as the fact we still didn't know why my powers had lasted that long during that one incident, and Anna wasn't here to help should I get trapped inside myself.

"Tessa was a really good healer. Her powers were much needed, what with a transitional around."

That made Alice and Jasper laugh.

"The rest of the stuff is the tracking equipment." I pulled a black ball out of the bag. "This one tracks powers, the Undermining prefer to use this one. There's a bunch of different things in there we can use though."

Jasper nodded. He went through the bag while we waited.

I made myself something to eat and sat beside Alice on the couch. She had gone through the room looking at all the pictures, scanning the bookshelves. There wasn't much there for us to do, even with all the cool devices.

Time seemed to drag on, which only added to my stress.

I slept for a little bit on and off most of the night. When I woke in the morning Alice had breakfast waiting for me.

"Any news?" I asked hopefully.

She shook her head.

Waiting was the worst part of any situation, but I was used to the waiting game.

Alice tried to keep my mind from wandering to my family. She knew how hard it was for me to be in this house, she didn't even need Jasper's powers to know that. Poor Jasper was trying to help me. I tried to make it easier on him. I'd go in the bedroom for a little while to give him a break every once in a while.

Alice passed me some food before joining Jasper and me on the couch. "What's this Bella," she asked, handing me a scrapbook she had found.

I recognized the green album. "This is Tessa's family tree. She made it for Anna when she was a baby. Wanting to show her about the other side of her family."

I opened the book and flipped a few pages, until I found a picture of Tessa's mom. "You see Tessa's mom married into the other world. Tessa wanted Anna to know about her family from the human world.

Alice looked through the book while I ate.

She looked through all the pictures, stopping at the back of the book that made up the family tree. I didn't pay much attention until I heard a surprise gasp from Jasper.

"What's wrong?" Alice and I asked at the same time.

He pointed to a small grouping of names. "Look at this." He pointed to one name in particular.

Alice gasped, "Rosalie Hale."

My world suddenly made a little more sense. Rosalie was Anna and Cissy's great great great aunt.

Alice chuckled softly before starting to hum it's a small world.

The soothing sound was caught short. Alice stiffened beside me, her eyes glazing over with a vision.

"Something's changed," her voice was urgent as she turned to Jasper.

He set his hands on her shoulders, his eyes boring into hers. "What did you see?"

"I see a room, it has screens covering one wall. The floor is wooden. He's in the room, waiting."

"Where is the room?"

"I don't know. Something is missing - another decision hasn't been made yet."

"How much time?"

"It's soon. He'll be in the room today, or maybe tomorrow. It all depends. He's waiting for something."

I sat quietly, listening to their conversation. It would appear my plan wasn't working as well as I had hoped. I closed my eyes, hoping the others were okay.

"Should we call the others?" I asked after a while.

Alice glanced at Jasper, sharing a serious look with him.

Before they could decide, the phone rang.

Alice grabbed the phone. She pressed a button and held it to her ear.

"Carlisle." She didn't seem surprised.

"Yes." She glanced at me, and listened for a long time.

"I just saw him." She quickly described her vision to him. "Whatever made him get on that plane, was leading him to that room." She paused. "Yes," Alice turned to me. "Bella?"

She held the phone towards me. I took it quickly.

"Hello?"

"Bella." The sound of Edward's voice helped relax me. I at least knew he was okay for now.

"Where are you?" I had to ask.

"We're outside of Vancouver." His voice hardened slightly. "Bella, I'm sorry, we lost him. He knows how to block me, I don't know how, but he does. He got on a plane, and we think he's gone back to Forks to start over."

"I know, Alice saw that he got away. Have you checked in with Esme and Rosalie yet?"

He knew what I was really asking. "The little girls are okay, Anna's been a big help. Apparently Charlie has something that can help expand her powers. I didn't really understand it. I was too worried about you."

A small smile spread over my face. "I'm worried about you too, all of you guys."

He sighed in frustration. "Bella, you only need to worry about yourself."

"Not true," I shot back. "I've put all of you in danger, and none of you have gone up against a member of the Undermining."

"That you know of," he countered.

I forced myself to laugh, but then a serious question came to my mind. "Where's the woman?"

"She's gone too. She had stayed around Forks, probably trying to pick up a trail. Rosalie followed her all around town."

I knew that I shouldn't be glad that she was gone, but I was glad she wasn't near Anna and Cissy. "Be safe, I miss you."

"I know Bella, I miss you too."

"Can you believe after all I've put you through, that I love you?" I asked like the insecure girl I am.

His reply was genuinely sweet. "Yes I can, actually. I love you too, never forget that."

"I won't," I told him before hanging up the phone.

I turned to give the phone back to Alice, a new sense of depression building in me. She and Jasper were leaning over the coffee table. She was drawing something on a pad of paper.

I looked over her shoulder, watching as a room came to life on the paper.

The room was as big as the one we were in now, and one wall was covered in monitors. The screens were blank, not turned on. There was a pattern in the wooden planks on the floor, a pattern I recognized.

"That's a security room, one of the ones the Rebellion would use."

"Do you know which one this is?" Jasper asked. His voice sounded calm, but there was a hint of an emotion that I couldn't place.

I shook my head. "These rooms are in all our major buildings, and they all look alike."

He grimaced, turning back to Alice's picture.

Alice set down her pencil and met my eyes. "You don't have any reason to go to one of these rooms, right?"

"I don't plan on leaving this room until I'm told too, and I'm definitely not going anywhere without the two of you."

That seemed to satisfy the two of them.

I knew that there was no way I was going to go anywhere without them. This was the plan and I was going to stick to it.

Author's Note

Anyone out there reading this who believes Bella will stay with Jasper and Alice?

What did you guys think about Rosalie being related to the little girls? Did anyone see that coming?

Any theories for what is coming up?

csp4 I just wanted to clarify something from your review. Vampire venom does affect people from the other world. In fact it will be mentioned in one of the coming chapters, and I'm really looking forward to that chapter.

I really hope you guys liked this chapter. Hopefully we'll be getting into some interesting stuff next time, but until then, watch out for the Undermining.
