Note: Characters are owned by their queen, Stephenie Meyer


The stranger came into the light. It was obvious that it the stranger was a man. Although, man was putting it nicely. He looked like a boy in the face. He was probably about 5 years older then Emmett. He had light blonde hair, eyes of bright blue.

"Who are you?" I asked, taking a cautious step back. Something didn't feel right about him.

"Why, I am the answers to all your problems." he said, grinning and showing off his sparkling white teeth.

"We're not supposed to talk to strangers." Emm said.

"I am not a stranger. I am a friend. I've come to help you." His smile quaking on his lips.

"How did you know we'd be here? And what is it that you've come to help us with?" I asked suspiciously. I was definitely feeling a bad vibe from him.

"It is quite obvious, Edward-"

"How did you know my name?" I cut him off.

"Well, you've been all over the news this morning. I know all your names, You're Emmett, Jasper and that is Rosalie." he pointed and named all of us off.

"Touché." Jasper whispered, then he spoke loud enough for the stranger to hear, "What is your name then?"

"Fred." he said like it should be obvious.

"Fred? That seems really sketchy. Do you have a friend named Bob and another friend named Steve?" Emm said in a tantalizing voice.

"It's short for Fredrick. But, I figure, Fred is more of a friendly name." he said, ignoring Emm taunting question.

"Well, that's a stupid name." Emm said, crossing his arms.

"Emm!" Rose said, eyes going wide.

"No worries, I'm not easily offended." Fred said, chuckling a little.

"Alright, 'Fred'," Emm said air quoting his name, "How did you know we were here?"

"Well, like I was saying before, it's quite obvious. I am a runaway myself, and I know where all the kids head when they runaway. The bus station. It'll take them where ever they want."

"You're a runaway? You look to much a like a goody-goody to do that." Emm said, raising an eyebrow.

"EMM!" Rose all but shouted.

"What? You can't tell me this dude isn't a creeper. For all we know we could know what our plan is and is intending to kidnap us for his zombie army!" Emm said, throwing his hands in the air. My hand my face with a quiet slap. I shook my head.

"Is he serious?" I heard Fred ask

"Just ignore him. He hasn't played a video game in the past, 24 hours." Rose said.

"Well, I'm not planning to kidnap you," he said, "Or turn you into zombies. I just want to help you find your friend. Cause I too, have lost a friend of mine."

"How do you know we're looking for someone?" Jazz asked

"I'm not dumb. You're looking for that Swan girl."

"Yes. But how do you know?" I pressed further.

"Well, I can explain it all to you on the way. If you want my help." He said, rocking back and forth on his toes.

"Umm, can I talk this out with my brothers and sister first?" I asked. He seemed way to fishy to trust.

"Sure, take your time." He said, and he walked a couple steps back and sat on the ground. resting his elbows on his knees.

We also took a few steps away, just incase he could over hear us. Then we got into some sort of huddle.

"No. Absolutely not." Rose said, leaving no room for argument.

"I have to agree with her on this one." I said.

"But, what if he could help us?" Jazz asked

"You can't be serious!" Rose said

"Well, he does seem nice." Jazz mumbled.

"More like creepster to the max." Rose argued.

"I still vote no." I said

"Me too." Rose agreed, bobbing her head in one quick jerk.

"Emm, what do you think?" Jazz asked him.

"What do I think about what?" We all just looked at him. "Oh, about that dude. His name is Fred, can't trust him."

"Jazz, it looks like you've been out numbered." Rose said, smiling a little.

"So, are we not going along with this then?" I asked, everyone shook their heads. The sooner we ditched this guy, the sooner I could get to Bella.

We all walked over to meet Fred, but kept our distance a few feet.

"Made your decision?" Fred asked, twiddling his thumbs

I looked at everyone before speaking, "Yeah. And we're going to pass on your offer."

"Oh, I don't think you can do that." he said. He looked up, an odd expression on his face. I looked at him with the brows furrowed. A confused look crossed my eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, you don't have a choice in the matter. You're coming with me whether you like it or not." he said, then he stood up and waved his hand as a "Come here" signal.

Then, out of no where, 4 sets of arms wrap around me, Emm, Rose and Jazz. I struggle at first, looking at everyone else, struggling to get out. But, none of us can as their grips tighten.

"You should have listened to your parents," Fred said, "never talk to strangers."


So, another cliff hanger. I didn't know it was going to end like this till I typed it out. I honestly didn't even know, Fred was working with someone til it flowed onto the keyboard. Oh, the glories of a fanfic writers inner mind! Next update next Friday! Read, Share and Review :-)
