Charlie sank down to the ground, sobs racking his body. Jake's strong arms tried to pick up the man, yet failed slightly. "Charlie, there was nothing anyone could do about it..."

"Yes... yes, I could have sent her back to Jacksonville" Charlie whispered pitifully.

Billy wheeled over, inspecting the graveyard. The funeral had been long over; Renee had to be dragged home by Phil because of her breakdown. Now, Charlie also needed to be helped.

Billy's eyes connected with Jake's in a glare. His mouth opened and he spoke in a whisper so low that only Jake could hear. "We both know there were no bears, you better explain"

Jake's eyes went down to Charlie as he fully pulled the smaller man up. "You probably need to get home..." Charlie nodded slightly, using Jake as support to get into the passenger side of the cruiser.

Alice smiled to the man behind the counter, "Can I have something fast please?"

The rental car salesman blinked, then blushed. "S-sure... how bout that beauty out back?" He asked, pointing through the window out back.

She leaned over slightly to see, then was amazed. A midnight blue car almost exactly like the Vanquish sat there.

A grin spread across her face, "I love it"

Within a few seconds she was out the door after a credit card transaction and keys being thrown her way. Throwing herself in the car, she took off towards her old home.

--------------

"She what?" Billy whispered frantically.

"It's my fault... she's staying with Sam and Emily" Jake mumbled back, head hanging in disappointment.

"You haven't killed her yet? She'll hurt Emily!" Billy wished he could shout, but Charlie wasn't currently changing from his ragged, soaked clothes to some clean ones, he would be back any minute now.

"Of course we wouldn't kill her; she's like a little sister to all of us! And..." Jake suddenly broke out in a grin, "She says Emily stinks of wolves and would rather hang herself then try and take a bite of her. Bells reasons she tastes even worse then she smells..."

Billy sighed before wheeling himself into the kitchen to greet Charlie. He knew that there was no winning with that boy. A shaky smile appeared on Charlie's face, and they began to talk about the newest scores in sports.

Bella's foot froze halfway off the edge of the cliff as her arms spread outward. Slowly, her body fell forward from her slight lean by the force of gravity.

The wind rushed around her, whipping her hair onto her face. It was like flying, almost like when you're on a swing pumping your legs as hard as you could. Though, the main difference was that on both the swing and in flying, you go up, not down.

No, this was falling. Falling that cause adrenaline to rapidly pump through her blood; making her get more excited by the second. The best part came next though, when her body hit the hard --yet somewhat warm, at least, compared to her -- surface of the misty green water.

She submerged, feeling only air above her, then the water engulfing her. It rushed in all directions, sending her sensitive nerves into overdrive.

Then, abruptly, she was pulled out from under the water and swung over someone's shoulder.

"That's enough; you've had your fun. Now, we need to go home" Paul said, walking towards the shoreline. She giggled, "That was sooo fun!"

After momentarily shaking his head, he mumbled something under his breath. Of course, being a vampire now, she caught it.

"You're such a freak" This only made her giggle harder.

----------------------

A soft knock on the door froze the conversation in an instant. Something flashed through Charlie's eyes, making Jake know that there was still some hope, some denial in him. He really wanted the person at the door to be Bella.

That was what made Jake worry. What if it was Bella? 'No, she couldn't get over here without one of us because of her horrible self control. None of the guys would be stu-- Embry... Paul...' he seethed quietly.

Turning to the two older men, he smiled. "I'll get the door, why don't you guys continue with your conversation?"

Billy nodded, while Charlie hesitated slightly. Jake didn't wait though; he bolted to the door, wrenching it open. Behind the door was a surprised girl.

He blinked, confused. "You're... a Cullen?"

She nodded meekly, then her nose scrunched up as she caught his smell. He squinted slightly, since he hadn't been near Bella all day, he forgot how hard vampires were to look at. She was like a giant crystal to him, so unbelievably shiny and moving in an angular pattern.

"I'm Alice... You're Jake? How's Charlie?" She asked in a rushed manner, worry spreading across her face. "I tried to get here earlier, but my flight was delayed..."

He was amazed at how human she seemed. Then again, it didn't surprise him now that he thought about it. Bella acted and reacted in the same manner... so... human.

"He's fine, well, getting there..." Jake said, looking back over his shoulder. "Um.. listen... why are you here?"

She blinked and then realization that he probably had no idea what was going on showed on her face. "Ahh... I had a vision, I saw Bella's grave and Charlie upset..."

He nodded, then quickly closed the door after pulling her inside. His next words were just as fast as hers and extremely hushed. "Listen up, I'm a werewolf. Bella isn't dead, either"

Her eyes widened, "What?"

"It's my fault, but that woman... Victoria, I believe, attacked Bells... and she ended up getting changed..."

"How old are you?"

"Sixteen..."

"No, when did you become a werewolf?"

"A few months ago..." He whispered, unsure. A maniacal grin spread across the girl's face. "I'm going to shove this bit of information into Edward's face... She really doesn't have any sense of self preservation"

He sighed, he knew his body had begun to shake slightly. Concentrating, he suppressed that urge to change and attack her. He had, after all, been getting good at it. Briefly, he wondered why all his thoughts led back to Bella.

"Please, she can't stay with us forever..."

Alice nodded, smiling. "I want to see Charlie, then I'll talk Bella into coming home with me. Is that good?"

He nodded happily, "Yes! Perfect!"

----------------------

Bella messed with the Ipod that Emily insisted on getting her. Songs had been randomly put on by everyone in the household, so she had no real idea what she was listening to.

The song though, was good. However, it had a haunting beat that when combined with the words, disturbed her slightly.

Putting the song on repeat, she let her daydreams drag her into an abyss of mental detachment.

The words of the song haunted my mind, echoing and rebounding back to me.

"Where have all the good men gone, and where are all the Gods?"

Words formed within my mind, from where I still don't know. "They're hiding somewhere, wallowing in self pity"
