I don't even bother to answer Alice, surely she had to have seen this.

"Surely, you know the answer to that, Alice?"

She let out a broken sob, and my fears plummet even more than they had a few minutes ago.

"I can't see anything of her anymore. It's like deep down I know she has to be somewhere, but she's not there. And it's killing me, Edward. I'm failing to keep my sister safe." Alice whispered as another sob broke through the phone. "I had a feeling a while ago that something was shifting, but I couldn't see anything. I ignored it, and now I regret it."

I have no words for her, no reassurances, because I have none for myself. I sigh, long and slow, my mind racing a mile a minute, the empty feeling in my chest growing bigger as each minute passed.

"I need you all here. Everyone. And I really need Jasper." I said, hurriedly into the phone,

"I know, brother. I've got tickets sorted. Jasper should be there in a few hours. I sent him when I knew you were finally in Forks." I honestly don't know what I would do without her.

I pulled the phone so that it stretched across the kitchen so that I could sit down at the table. "May I speak to Carlisle?"

I hear heavy footfalls in the background.

"Son?"

It's my turn to let out a broken sob. "Dad?" I sighed, "She's not here, no one is here."

Carlisle stopped breathing completely, the phone making the distance from my family even bigger and lonelier.

"What do you mean no one is there? Where is Charlie?" I could hear it in his voice, he knew something was seriously wrong.

"I mean just what I say. Bella and her dad haven't been here, in this house, in a long time. I'm guessing three months, or more. I can still smell Bella, but only where it is highly concentrated. Charlie's scent is completely gone. As I drove in, Carlisle, I saw cars littering the roads, the diner empty, houses with doors completely wide open. No one is here at all. It's like they abandoned the town."

I could hear scratching on paper. Carlisle must be writing all that I've told him. Esme is in the background, yelling commands to the rest of them.

"She left me a note telling me to find her." I choked out. "What if I can't find her, Dad? What if I am too late?"

"Something tells me that my daughter is strong, and that where ever she is, she is hanging on. We WILL find her Edward! This family needs their sister back, we need our daughter back, you need your mate. Search deep inside yourself, Edward. Use your instincts. Bella is your mate, you two are bound. You will find her. Have faith, my son."

I nodded, even though I knew he couldn't see it.

"Jasper should be arriving from what Alice tells me very soon. The rest of us will arrive sometime later tonight. Don't worry about opening up the house, just focus on finding Bella."

"Okay, I will see you soon" I sighed, "I may not tell you this enough, but I do love you, Carlisle. And appreciate everything you have done for me. I'm honored to be your son."

I hung up, the silence engulfing me once more.
