All things Twilight belong to Stephenie Meyer.

Thank you all for your fantastic reviews!

I apologies if chapter 3 was a little confusing; basically Victoria kidnapped Edward after Bella left the Cullen's house. Over night she forced and manipulated him into drinking human blood, and for some unknown reason Alice can't 'see' where Edward has disappeared to. And Victoria is going to use her power against Edward and force him to hurt Bella at the ball. Once that is done Edward is to bring Bella to Victoria.

I have big plans for this story so please don't bail out on me…it WILL get better, I promise. Scouts honor.

Also, many thanks to Cullen Tracker for talking to me and keeping me company- it was great! (I told you that you would get a mention. lol)

I'm sorry the update has taken so long but I just started school again so I've been busy organizing the thing I need and so on…

Ok, so here's chapter 4…Enjoy!!

Chapter 4: Music and Mayhem:

I sighed- this was going to be a very long night.

The atmosphere inside was amazing!

There were colored lights everywhere- shades of blues, purple, yellow and soft pink. However the lights were dimmed, giving the room a relaxing and almost romantic feeling.

The round tables were covered in flower petals and candles, whilst the dance floor lay underneath sparkling glitter particles.

Soft music was playing and couples swayed lazily to the beat- hugging each other close.

I sighed. It was wonderful. Everywhere you looked someone was wearing a mask- a mask that concealed who they were underneath. It was like magic- an unknown purpose, and yet compelling and hypnotizing all at the same time.

Men were in suits and ladies were in long elegant ball gowns. Everyone looked different and unique, however there was also something similar about each and every person. People were either standing in groups or in pairs, with that special someone.

I just wished I has someone else to share this night with, rather than the gorgeous, but annoying little pixie girl standing beside me.

"Hey Bells, I'm just going to get some punch ok? Do you want some?" I heard Alice's bell like voice ask.

I looked down at her; "um, yeah, that'd be great thanks."

She smiled at me and turned skipping through the crowd and towards the drinks table.

I stayed where I was, to the side of the dance floor and continued to look around at the people surrounding me, trying to see if I could recognize any of them.

As I was peering at a group of large, muscled, dark skinned boys, one of them caught my eye and smiled. He glanced back toward his friends, said something and then began walking towards me.

"hi." He said as he neared me. "You're Isabella Swan right? You may not remember me- I'm Jacob Black."

"Um…I think I remember you. Your Rachel Blacks brother…?"

"Yep, that's me. The baby of the family."

I laughed shaking his hand; "nice to see you again Jacob."

"Same to you. It's been a while."

I nodded in agreement; "One question though. How did you recognize me exactly?"

He chuckled and pointed to something in my hand.

I looked down and saw that he was pointing to my mask. It had been pulled of my face absentmindedly.

I bit my lip and blushed slightly; "Oops." I said.

"It's ok. I-"

"Here's your drink Bella! Miss…" Alice paused mid sentence, catching sight of Jacob.

"Me?" she concluded. "What's he doing here?" she hissed quite loudly in my ear.

I looked over at Jacob to see if he had heard Alice's question. I analyzed his features. His eyes had turned cold and hard, no longer shining with excitement and happiness, and his nose was crumpled up like he could smell something horrible.

"Uh..." I said uncomfortably.

"Nice to see you again bloodsu- Alice. "He said inclining his head.

"Yes. Long time no see…mutt."

"Alice!" I squealed in disbelief. "That was rude, how could you say-"but I was cut off by a very angry Jacob.

"At least I don't go around dazzling people with my impossible beauty and 60 years of knowledge!"

"Was that meant to hurt? Cause that's just sad."

From here on it was like a tennis mach. The name-calling and insults flew back and forth like the ball in a tennis game. Gradually Jacob and Alice began to raise their voices, and a crowd was starting to gather. A group of the dark skinned boys had gathered behind Jacob and were backing him up.

Throughout the whole fight I continued to try and get their, trying to stay calm at the same time, but I was failing miserably. By now I had had enough. I took a deep breath; "WOULD YOU GUYS JUSTSTOP IT ALREADY?!"

Startled they both stopped shouting and turned to face me.

"This was meant to be fun! A party is not the place to fight ok?" they both nodded their heads slowly; jaws clenched and eyes glowing with hatred toward each other.

I marched forward, grabbed Alice forearm and pulled her with all my might in the other direction. I looked over my shoulder and called; "Nice to see you Jacob! I'm really sorry about this; I hope you have a good night."

As we reached the far corner of the room, I spun to face Alice, but before I could say something she intercepted me; "look, you were not meant to see that and I'm really sorry that it happened and that you did witness it."

Alice never kept secrets from me. She never lied to me either, and I could tell by the ton e of her voice she was telling the truth.

I sighed: "Apology accepted. Let's try and forget about what happened and just have fun tonight ok?"

She smiled gratefully at me and nodded her head. Just then her eyes glazed over and she stared into space. I was unfazed by her sudden change of mood. Alice always did this, and sometime it was just plain freaky. She would break out of her trance and begin to muter things, and when I tried to talk to her she's say a quick goodbye and run away…weird huh?

Finally she broke away and squealed in delight, jumping up and down and clapping her hands. Before I could ask her what she was so happy about she quickly turned and skipped in the other direction, heading for the entrance.

I shook my head and nmuttered; "Typical."

EDWARD'S POV:

The girl. You must get the girl. Charm her. Hurt her. Bring her to your master…

The vampire's command ran through my head over and over as I ran. As much as I did not want to harm the girl, I had no choice. My 'master' was using her powers against me, forcing me to do what I never dreamed of doing. Just like she had made me drink human blood…

The girl. You must get the girl. Charm her. Hurt her. Bring her to your master.

Her blood. You thirst for her blood. It calls to you. It is singing your name…

Charm her. Hurt her. Bring her to-

NO! I will not be forced into doing something wrong. I WILL NOT hurt the girl…the beautiful, smart, Isabella Swan.

While I had gained power over my mind, it would seem that I was not able to control the way I moved, for I was still sprinting through the forest at full speed, directly toward my target.

Although I had no reason to, I was puffing, by breath coming in gasps. I could not do this. I WOULD NOT DO THIS!

"Argh!" I screamed in frustration.

As I ran, my control was slowly slipping. I was loosing myself, falling back into the trap.

I broke through the last of the trees and appeared across the hall from a large hall.

You shall be yourself, until the time comes to attack. Were the last words I heard before I had lost control of my mind completely.

Well, there's chapter 4! I know it took a while, but please keep in mind that I am currently sitting in my school library, and I am typing this up JUST FOR YOU instead of doing my work…

Although it took long to update you guys all know you love me.

REVIEW! No fire please…
