Chapter 6.
"Why do you have to have your hands over my eyes?" Jacob asked.
"Because I don't trust you not to peek. Besides its a surprise."
When Jacob and Bella had returned home the night before, Jacob had explained to Bella what happened. He had forgotten to call and wasn't able to find an available phone that was ensure a private conversation. Bella made a mental note to get Jacob a cell phone.
After Jacob had went to bed Bella had spent the rest of the night finishing Jacobs 'gift'.
She opened the back door keeping one hand over Jacobs eyes.
"Now open." She commanded removing her hand.
"Oh my gosh Bella this is awesome!" Jacob said running towards it.
The basketball court was complete.
"Wanna play?" Jacob asked enthusiastically.
"Sure." Bella smiled.
...
"Well isn't this wonderful." Randall said from the doorway interrupting Bella and Jacobs game.
"Where have you been?" Bella asked tossing Jacob the ball.
"I was in Seattle hunting. Oh I met Edwards family last night, why didn't you tell me they were shape shifters?"
Bella tensed. "Are they okay?"
"Yes they are perfectly fine."
"Did they tell you anything else?" Bella asked as nonchalantly as possible.
"No. What are you hiding Bella?"
"I'm not hiding anything."
"I'll find out you know." Randall smiled going back inside the house.
"He gives me the creeps." Jacob said well aware Randall could hear him but not caring either way.
"Yeah I know." Bella sighed.
...
Edward laid on his bed, the door locked, ignoring the world beyond his bedroom walls. Not letting a single voice get through. Things were beginning to change in his world. He could tell.
He wasn't sure what to think about Bella. Obviously, he liked her. He would hope that the spirits wouldn't make his imprint someone he hated. She was rather frustrating though, that much he could admit.
He was still curious as to how Jacob was involved and then another vampire had to be added into the mix. He didn't like him, he made Edwards hairs stand up and all his instincts screamed at him to rip Randall's head off. But that was nothing new all vampires made Edward feel that way. Well all until Bella came along.
Speaking of which, he wondered how she was doing. Did she really know this Randall character? Was she safe from him? These were questions that could only be answered if Edward where to show up and see for himself. Without thinking he got up from bed and jumped out his window.
It was still early in the day so Edward took his car. He drove it to Bella's house. He didn't need to knock because Bella had opened the door just as he reached the steps. Of course she knew he was here.
"Hello. Can I help you?"
"What I can't come by and say Hello?"
"You can. I'm just wondering why."
"Well keep wondering. Can I come in?"
"This isn't a good.."
"Edward! Nice to see you again." Randall said coming up behind Bella.
"Ya." Edward forced out as calmly as he could.
"Don't be rude Bella. Let the boy inside." Randall said.
"Um ya sure. Come in Edward."
Edward stepped inside.
"Hey Edward, Jacob is outside." Bella said. Edward got the message and made his way to the back door.
"A nice boy that Edward is." Bella wasn't buying into Randall's comment.
"Listen, Randall, I need you to run to Seattle or something. I need to talk to Edward and Jacob alone."
"Very well." Randall sighed. "I'll be back tomorrow."
"Thank you." Bella said watching him leave the house.
"He's gone." Bella said stepping outside to see Edward and Jacob playing basketball on the court in the back yard.
"Who is he?" Edward asked.
"He's my maker." Bella answered. Edward was surprised she did so, he hadn't expected an answer.
"Sounds fair to me." Edward said with a shrug. But really the thoughts in his head where going at an exstremly high rate. Where they dating? Did Randall know about Edward's connection to Bella? Why did he care? over and over.
"What are you doing here?" Bella asked.
"We need to talk." Did he want to? No. But they needed to and he didn't see her volunteering to start the conversation.
"Talk about what? There isn't anything to talk about." Bella replied stubbornly. He wasn't sure if she was playing dumb or trying to offend him, however being Edwards egotistical self he decided she was aiming towards the second. He glared at her in response.
"Bella." Jacob said still holding the ball in his hand.
"Yes Jacob?" Bella asked turning her own glare away from Edward
"What do you always tell me?"
"I tell you lots of things be more specific."
"Listen first, ask questions later."
"Go play." Bella said glaring at him.
"But- Okay fine." Jacob grumbled.
Jacob headed inside, no need to play where they were arguing. He went to the kitchen and opened the fridge looking for what he needed to make a sandwich, when the phone rang. Shutting the fridge door he answered the phone.
"Hello."
"Is this Jacob?" A petite voice sounded from the other end of the phone line.
"Yes. Who is this?"
"This is Alice Cullen. I need you to do me a favor. Get Edward and Bella in the room and put the phone on speaker."
Bella having already heard what was said came into the room followed by Edward.
"They're here." Jacob said switching it onto speaker.
"You three need to run north. Now." Alice said with authority Edward hadn't known she possessed.
"What's going on Alice?" Edward asked.
"When Randall was here he was asking a lot of questions. Carlisle answered them thinking he was a friend of Bella's and could be trusted. I had a vision when he was here but it didn't make sense until after I overheard him talking on his phone on his way out of town while I was out hunting. Thankfully he didn't notice me. He has called the Volturi, we are all in danger."
"He said he was running from the Volturi!" Bella gasped angrily.
"Well either he was lying to you or he has decided to cooperate with them. I don't know who this Volturi is but I know they aren't good people. You three need to run north we will meet you there."
"Whats north?" Edward asked.
"The Denali's." Bella said. "That's where we will go."
"Good luck and Hurry while he is still away." The phone clicked and Alice was gone.
Jacob was the first to run up to his bedroom and begin packing. He was shaking the whole time knowing he didn't have the skills to protect himself like Edward and Bella did. He feared he could slow them down.
Edward who didn't have any belongings on him except for his Physical Education (P.E.) clothes in the trunk of his car and a few C.D's was in the kitchen packing up food for him and Jacob.
Bella however was in her room not packing, she really didn't need to, but throwing anything she could across the room, going off verbally to match her actions. "That no good low life." She grumbled. "I'm going to miss work probably going to get fired." She was sure it wasn't helping Jacob but she needed to release some steam before they began their long trip.
"We can take the car until we hit Canada then I'm afraid we're going to have to go on foot." Bella said once they were all back down stairs.
Edward nodded while Jacob just stood there.
"Don't worry Jacob we will be able to carry you." Bella said.
Jacob just groaned putting his head in his hands. He knew he didn't have much of a choice though, he didn't want to slow them down more then he probably would.
"Well lets go." Edward said grabbing the bag of food and heading out the door. Bella and Jacob followed.
Flash Back:
Alice sat in her bedroom, Jasper was sitting at the desk reading a book while Alice sat by the window. A strange feeling swept through her, she got up and began to strip.
Jasper sat his book down and looked at her.
"No Jasper." Alice said.
"Oh okay. Then where are you going? Hunting? May I come?"
"Sorry Jazz I need to go alone. Don't wait up for me."
And with that she jumped out the window. Mid jump Alice transformed hitting the earth with four paws, she took off in the direction that she was being guided moving with the grace and speed of a cheetah despite being well, a giant wolf.
She slowed down, hiding herself when she came across a particular person. Randall. She knew this was why she was here.
"How's Mary?" She heard him say into a phone.
"No. She had me leave, both of the boys, the shifter and the human are there with her." Alice wished she could hear the voice on the other end of the phone.
"Well they are here. The Volturi need to strike while they can." Randall continued.
"She won't know the horror that's about to hit her." Randall laughed.
"Alright. See you when you get here." He smiled and clicked the off button putting the phone into his pocket.
With a devilish grin he took off running. Alice, waiting until he left made her way back home.
Transforming back into her human form once she reached the door, Alice never having cared much about modesty entered into the front door instead of getting dressed in her bedroom first.
"We have a BIG problem!" Alice shouted, getting everyone's attention. The family zoomed into the room.
"What is it Alice?" Carlisle asked.
"Randall is not who we think he is. He is setting up Bella and all of us."
"What do you mean?" Esme asked.
"I overheard him speaking to someone on the phone. The Volturi are on there way. I don't know who they are but I know they cannot be good people."
"What do we do?" Carlisle asked.
"We warn Bella, Edward and Jacob. They must run north and hide. We will meet them there as soon as possible."
"Very well Alice. We trust you."
Picking up the phone Alice called Bella's house. The family sat silently in the living room while she gave them the instructions.
"Now what?" Emmett asked.
"Now we have one more call to make." Alice said.
"Who?" Jasper asked.
"The boys at La Push."
