A/N: HEHEHEHEHEHEHE another chapter closer to solving the mystery of the missing Bella and ze' JELLO!

EPOV

I was absolutely miserable. It was all my fault that my precious Bella had gone missing. I should've never fed her that jello. But she had looked to sad, and she really really wanted it.

I mentally slapped myself. Bad Edward.

Our Bella hunting group reached Carlisle's study. The door was almost closed except for a small crack.

Carlisle was at work now, but I still felt bad going in there without his permission.

I hesitated, but Alice shoved past me and entered gracefully.

We all squashed in after her. I wonder why no one thought to open the door…

We stood at the very entrance, looking around for any signs of movement.

None to be seen yet.

Edward, you go with Emmett and I'll go with Jasper. Left or right? Alice thought

I grabbed Emmett's arm and pulled him towards the left. There was a little closet that way. And a few tables. A long full-length mirror also stood against the wall.

After a thorough inspection, we found this to be a Bella-free area.

Emmett looked suspicious. I wondered if he'd seen Bella somewhere and was withholding information from me. But as I delved into his mind, all I could come out with was some elevator music. Hmmm…

He shot me a happy little grin.

"Just one last check, then?" he asked, and turned away from me to sweep back over the small area.

BPOV

MEOW

APOV

Jazz and I searched under the desk, over the desk, all around the desk, around the portraits and the bookshelves and any random doors in the area that we had taken, but Bella was nowhere.

"We'll find her, don't worry Alice." Jasper told me comfortingly, placing a hand around my waist. He led me back toward the door.

Emmett and Edward were doing a final check of the area to make sure they hadn't missed anything.

"Alice, Jasper!" I heard Edward cry out happily. "We found a clue!!!" he said.

I bounded over to them, hoping they had found Bella.

Sadly, no. But they had uncovered a squishy red blob. Yes, the dreaded JELLO was back to haunt us once more…

"A clue?" Jasper asked skeptically, "How is this a clue?"

"Well…" Edward started, he was getting into his detective mode again. Oh boy. "As you can see, we now know that she was here."

"Oh, great job. We know she was here. Do we know where she is now?" Jasper said sarcastically.

Edward's happy grin slid off his face like melted cheese. "Err. Oh I know! We follow the trail of jello!" The grin was back.

"Good idea Edward." I said supportively, shooting a look at Jasper. "Let's go."

I turned to lead them to the door, but Jasper's hand on my shoulder held me back.

I turned around to the sight of Edward picking up the Jello blob with a pair of tweezers (who knows where he got those) and sticking it in a zip lock bag.

No comment on that one.

Jasper and I exchanged one really freaked out look. Emmett looked gleeful to the point where he was somewhat eccentric.

I turned away from the strangeness of them and headed toward the door.

Crazy.

RPOV

My stupid vampire brothers and my stupid vampire sister went to go look for my stupid vampire brother's stupid girlfriend who was imitating a stupid CAT!

I stood against the wall beside the door to Carlisle's study in which they had recently disappeared, glaring at a piece of carpet. Darn you carpet. DIE!

Why did they care about her anyway? I bet they wouldn't look for me if I were imitating a cat…Maybe I should try it…

Before I could think any further through my plan IBIAC or Imitate Bella Imitating A Cat, the devil herself crawled through the little crack in door and out of Carlisle's study.

How did she escape the x-ray vamp vision that my vampire siblings possessed?

Wow.

I watched as she crawled down the hall and took a turn, crawling backwards down the stairs. I wondered if I should call Edward or someone…NAH!

Back to leaning against the wall and glaring at random pieces of carpet.

EPOV

I picked up the blob of Jello with a pair of tweezers which I kept in my pocket just in case, and stuck it in a zip lock bag. I could feel the stares of my fellow vampires boring into my back.

Hah. They were probably jealous they hadn't thought of this brilliant plan themselves. I planned to spend time analyzing the DNA on the jello-blob and connecting it to Bella's later on, that way I would never lose her again. I could even make a little tracking chip and install it in her somehow.

I evil laughed inside my head. Brilliaaaantttttt.

I stood up and picked up the zip lock bag, sticking it in my pocket. It made a funny squishing noise.

The room was now empty, so I assumed Alice and Jasper had headed out to look for more Bella clues. No, I made this happen, and I would fix it.

I hastened to follow them, finding everyone standing outside the study, including Rosalie. Although Emmett was nowhere to be found.

JPOV

As soon as Alice and I turned to leave Carlisle's study, Emmett ran past us.

We squeezed out and found Rosalie leaning against the wall looking sullen. I gave her a little wave of 'intent'.

After all, we could use all the help we could get.

Rosalie stood up, straight as a board. Yea, this was getting good. She started hopping up and down, still straight with her arms plastered to her sides and her eyes wide.

Alice looked at me, frightened. I sent an apologetic look back. Okay, so maybe I went a little overboard with the 'intent' thing.

And then Rosalie's beautiful pale angel-like face cracked into the most horrifyingly wicked grin I've ever seen. She put the tips of her fingers together and her grin stretched even more (if that was possible) to the tips of her ears.

This was getting really good. I put on an innocent scared look just for Alice. She wouldn't like my evil plans for DISASTER!

It wasn't too hard because Rosalie really was frightening me. She looked a lot like the Grinch. Except, you know, she wasn't fuzzy and green and…ugly. And she was a vampire. And a girl…anyways….

Rosalie shot Alice and I one really freaky look and then ran off too.

I looked at Alice. "So…Where's Emmett?"

Just stay casual. No one will suspect you…MUAHAHAHAHA.

Just then, Edward exited the room. He looked from Alice's shocked expression to my innocent one. I had the whole puppy dog look working for me. Yea. Good Jasper…

I decided I'd have to escape Edward's extreme scrutiny. He was too mind read-y for his own good.

"Where shall we look next?" I asked him.

APOV

After Rosalie's little, heh heh, mental breakdown, I was a tad bit shocked.

Jasper was looking confused. Aw, poor Jazz. He probably had no idea he'd accidentally put too much emotion into that vampiress.

"So…Where's Emmett?" he asked me. I stared at him. Where was Emmett?

But Edward exited the room. I could hear a faint squishy noise coming from the direction of his pocket. Yes, he was definitely losing it.

"Where shall we look next?" Jasper asked him. He was probably scared of Edward staring at us suspicious-like. I was kind of frightened of Edward's mind violation too.

"I'm…not sure." Edward answered, still staring at us. "Where's Emmett?" he suddenly realized, looking around curiously.

Jasper turned away, seeming to look over the railing of the balcony type thing. "Don't know." He hedged. "Let's check around the rest of the rooms up here. I doubt she'd try to climb down the stairs in her eh, current state."

We agreed and headed toward Rose and Emmett's room first.

A/N: What's with Emmett's eccentric smiles? Will Rosalie break out of her crazy intentness? Will Edward find his beloved? Will Bella stop imitating a cat? And WHO IS BEHIND THE MADNESS????

Review and you too could find out the answer to all these questions AND MORE!
