It isn't until I feel a sudden wave of lethargy that I realize something's in the coffee. I breathe, "What... have... you... done?"

Then I collapse, and everything goes black.

NOW:

When I wake up, I realize I'm in Headmistress Johnson's office. I try to move, but none of my muscles respond. A voice breaks the silence, but it's destorted and near-silent, "She's waking up."

I can't tell whose voice it is. Another voice replies, "Not quite, dear Nyx. Soon enough though. Please send for Ariel."

So the first is Nyx! The God-damned liar, cheater, bitch-on-wheels. I fucking hate her guts! I feel like I'll puke if I think about her. Ariel... She had held me when I cried, laughed when I got bad grades, and celebrated all the good times with me. Now, I feel like I want to slip something into her coffee, preferrably something that would kill her slowly and painfully. I realize with a jolt that these are probably the most violent thoughts I've ever had. I scream in my mind, 'Damn them all to Hell! They're all bitches. I hate them! If they're my best friends, why would they do this to me? I HATE THEM!'

After that, I start wishing Alice can see me. That maybe the Cullens are coming to rescue me again. I plea silently, 'Please, let Alice see this. Let them come! If they do, keep them away from Abby and her little crew that can control fire.'

Slowly I fall into blackness again, repeating my prayer.

Alice POV

Not too long after I read her e-mail to me and Rose and Esme, I'm sideswiped with a vision of Bella.

Bella walks out of her apartment to see a girl with spiked blonde hair and blue eyes. She hands Bella a drink, and Bella smiles in thanks. They begin to walk, and Bella drinks. Suddenly she stumbles and croaks, "What... have... you... done?"

Then she crumples to the ground and the girl begins dragging her off.

I let out a startled shriek, which draws all the members of my family that are home to my room. Esme is suddenly beside me, asking, "What's wrong, Alice?"

I curl up into a ball, and whimper, "It's Bella... We need to get to her... I think she's really in trouble."

All unnecessary breathing stops for three miliseconds. Then everyone's suddenly in motion; Jasper barks, "I'm going downstairs to call Carlisle, and Emmett and Rose."

Then he's gone and Esme orders, "Alice, go pack!"

I nod and run to the garage to get a few suitcases. I pack in ten minutes. I'm done ahead of schedule, so I try something. I pull out my little pink iPhone, dial a number, and begin hoping for him to pick up.

"Hello?" Edward snaps.

I cut to the chase. "Edward, Bella's in trouble. She needs your help."

He growls, "Two things. One, I told you not to look. Two, what's going on?"

I snarl, "Don't have that tone with me! She's at some elite boarding school somewhere in the Southern hemisphere. Bella's been drugged. I've been in contact with her for three days, and she has suspicions about two girls named Nyx and Ariel. Edward, I think they drugged her because I've been talking to her and I sent her the package!"

Edward's words are blurring from the speed he's talking, "Listen, I'll help. Do you have any idea where she is?"

I reply, "Somewhere in South America. I'm guessing Peru, Argentina, Venezuela, or Brazil."

Edward shoots back, "Do some digging. I'll swim over to South America and ask around about the school. What's it called?"

I say, "Briarwood School for Girls."

"Briarwood School for Girls," he repeats. "Got it!"

I say, catching him before he hangs up, "Oh Edward?"

He asks, "Yes?"

I whisper, "Bella read the note. She said yes."

Then I hang up, and go back upstairs. The conversation has taken two minutes. Jasper is informing Esme on what happened, "—he'll be back in about five minutes. Emmett and Rose are doing a search of South America to find that school. As soon as Carlisle gets here, we'll take off."

I come into the room and mumble, "Suitcasese are packed, and I have a bit of news."

They fall silent and I say more loudly, "I called Edward. He picked up, listened to me, and he's helping."

Shock fills the room and then both Esme and Jasper are grinning at me. Jasper pulls me onto his lap and kisses the top of my head, murmuring, "My sweet, smart Alice."

I know that if I didn't happen to be a vampire, I would be blushing. The door opens and in steps Carlisle, looking more worn than I've ever seen him. I go upstairs and change out of my nice dress and into a pair of old jeans and a tee, before joining them in the garage. I get in the back of the Mercedes and Jasper slides in beside me. We link hands and I lean against him. Esme gets in the passenger seat and Carlisle in the driver seat. The car flies out of the driveway, and we're off to the airport.


I'm SO sorry this chappy is so late. I'm posting two in a day to make up for my late-ness. PLEASE DON'T KILL ME! FanFiction was going crazy and wouldn't let me update! But I found out how to do it. In the place where you get the error, change 'property' to 'content' in the bar where the address is shown. I hope the two chapters make you happy. I'll have the next out by tomorrow or the next day. Peace, love, and happiness all around! Please review...
