Chapter six.

Bella, Bella where are you?

Alwin POV.

I'm still in shock. I've never seen Bella behave that way. This family messed up big time and they would pay dearly. My poor Bella.

Maureen came skittering nervously into the room then.

"What happened?" she asked me. I just shook my head. There was too much going on inside my head for me to talk right now. The Cullens were going to pay, Victoria was going to pay. I would make sure they all felt the same pain as poor Bella was.

Maureen was peering nervously into my face. I sighed.

"I'll talk to you about it later ok?" I asked her. She bit her lip.

"Alwin, I think we need to talk now. Victor can't find Bella's future anywhere." she informed me.

Well, crap.

Alice POV.

That had been Bella. I would know her anywhere. But how?

I'd been hiding my thoughts from Edward ever since seeing her in the lunchroom. He kept giving me strange looks. But could I blame him? Even I was sick of hearing myself sing Barbie Girl repeatedly in my head. But I couldn't tell him yet, I had to figure out more first.

After Bella had run away from me her friends had taken a few minutes to talk to me before trying to call her. They'd told me they'd just bought an old Victorian house down the road.

I rushed outside and hopped into my yellow Porsche, screeching down the driveway before Edward could try and follow me. He's probably too mopey to anyways. It's a good thing Forks is so small. I could only think of one Victorian style house in town. It took me less than a minute to get there and I jerked into the driveway, slamming on the brakes a little too loudly.

The girl I'd met in the lunchroom earlier, Maureen, came outside. She looked really upset.

"What's the matter?" I asked her urgently, stepping out of my car.

"Victor, well...he can see people's futures and he can't find Bella's." she said quickly.

We hadn't had time to discuss special powers back in the lunchroom earlier. So this boy was like me apparantly. Hm, that was weird. I'd have to mention this to Carlisle later.

Without saying anything to Maureen I tried to focus and find Bella's future. I hadn't seen it since we'd left her, but then again I hadn't been allowed to try to. Damn Edward.

I couldn't find anything. I glanced up to see Maureen staring at me. I sighed.

"It sounds like me and Victor have a bit in common. But I'm not finding anything either." I explained to her.

Her eyes widended a little but then she simply nodded her head and motioned for me to follow her inside.

The house was absolutely beautiful. Simple, but beautiful. Bella's taste.

As I was admiring the house I was suddenly knocked back to the floor.

"What the-?!" I got out. Then I saw the little thing that had tackled me. A dog? How could a dog, and such a small one at that, have knocked me down? I glanced up at Maureen.

"Yeah, she's a vampire dog. She's Bella's. I'm sorry about that, she's usually much more well behaved but she's been a wreck since Bella's disappeared. They usually go for an after school hunt." she said and bent down to pick up the dog.

"Well she's certainly cute." I said.

"Her name's Penny." Maureen informed me. The little dog danced in circles around my feet.

"What the hell is going on here?!" a male voice demanded.

Alwin POV.

I knew I'd heard a bunch of noise downstairs I just hadn't bothered to check it out. When I had finally decided to I wasn't happy with what I found. There was a little tiny girl standing in the entrance way to our house. She was a vampire. She was one of them.

"What the hell is going on here?!" I demanded answers now. Maureen shot me a look.

"No Maureen! What is she doing here? She's a Cullen isn't she? Isn't she?!" I was slowly losing control of my temper.

The little girl answered first.

"Yeah I am. Alice Cullen." she stepped up and told me.

"You've got some nerve coming here." I did my best to keep my voice low. She shook her head.

"I know what you must think of me and my family. But we didn't want to go. I tried coming back so many times but Edward would hear none of it. I'm so sorry." she mumbled.

"You're sorry?! Well then, everything's all better now isn't it? I'll just call Bella and tell her you're sorry. Oh wait, that's right. We can't freaking find Bella!" I yelled, so much for keeping my voice low. She kept her head down and I noticed her shoulders start to shake.

"Look what you did. That's enough, Alwin." Maureen said to me. She stepped to the tiny girl and put her arms around her shoulders. I scoffed in disgust.

"I'm out of here." I said and turned to head out the door.

I took Victor's Jeep and headed down the first dirt road I could find. I intended to go four wheeling to hopefully clear my mind, but I was keeping an eye out for Bella as well. I was driving through thick forest, hitting some small bumps. I kept my head to the side hoping to see Bella.

About fifteen minutes into my drive I was coming to the edge of the forest and I saw a quick flash of white. I slammed on the brakes and hopped out.

"Bella?!" No reply.

I walked into the wooded area and immediatley stopped. It smelled like blood.
