one week before

Were is Bella? She was suppossed to be here an hour ago. Her dinner is getting cold. I can't believe she would be late when I told her I would be home early today. Maybe she is bringing a surprise herself. Hmm...I think I will just put this in the oven until she gets home...

The phone rings

"I bet that is Bella right now, calling to say why she is late."

He anxiously picks up the phone.

"Hey honey! How come it is taking you so long to get here? You need to hurry home before our dinner gets cold, or until I just get so hungry that I accidently eat all of it." He says this with good humor, knowing that right now he is talking to Bella. He heard a laugh, but stiffened because it wasn't the one he loved, it wasn't even Bella.

"Wrong honey, look I need to talk to Bella." The voice used much authority, and was deffinately female. It was a very familiar voice. One that he heard only once, or twice before.

"She's not hear right now. Im sorry."There was a hint of anger was in his voice. He wondered why he was acting like this. This could be one of Bella's friends.

"Well then I guess I will just talk to you. I know you probably don't even want to listen to what I have to say, but it is of the greatest importance."

The voice spoke with the slightest hint of nervousness in her voice. But in the middle of her sentence, the recognition suddenly clicked. Even though he knew who it was, he had to ask, just to see if he was hearing this right.

"Who are you, and why are you calling?" Now there was clear anger in his voice, and he had to struggle to keep the phone to his ear.

"I am surprised that you didn't figure it out already. I'll give you one guess."

"Alice Cullen."

"Oh good, now that we are on the same page, we can get to the reason why I am calling in the first place." Jacob was about to interrupt her, but before she could even speak, she cut him off.

"Don't even think about it Jacob Black. The only reason I am calling is because Bella's safety is now questionable."

Jacob started to growl.

"I am not insulting you, I am warning you. Something is going to happen, and if I can stop it, I am not just going to sit here and wait for the worst to happen."

She said this all rather fast, and it was very hard for Jacob to keep up. Then she continued before he could even say anything in response.

"Just keep Bella close, don't let her out of your sight. If you need to do something, make sure that she is not alone. I cannot have her be in danger. I care for her too much."

And with that she hung up. He was infuriated. The nerve she had in calling here. "Keep Bella close." Huh like I don't already. What could happen to her?

Jacob continued to convince himself that nothing could happen to Bella, not with a whole pack of werewolves at her side, protecting her in a way that they couldn't. But he instantly forgot the warning once Bella got home. He was once again lost in her beauty, and love.

A/N: This is still one week ago, on the same day that Alice called.

Alice's Point of Veiw

Life was rather dull. My family is falling apart. Emmet and Rosalie bicker way past their normal amount. Esme seems distant now, sulking aroung the house, missing him. Carlise's usual cheerful attitude even faltered. Me and Jasper did our best to keep their moods up, trying to do fun things that we once enjoyed doing together. It seemed to work some of the times. More often than not actually, but every so often, our efforts would just make things worse. We knew now, to never, never, ask if anyone wanted to play ball. It hurt to much for anyone to even make a half-hearted effort.

He hasn't stopped by in 6 months now. He won't even bother to even answer our calls anymore. But every once in awhile, he would call me. Just to ask how everything is with her. I didn't need any clarification. I knew who he was talking about. I would tell him I knew nothing, since I promised I wouldn't contact her again. He would be silent, I would try to tell him about our family, but he would then interrupt, and say, "Ok Alice, thanks," and then he would hang up.The phone calls where always the same. It was getting ridiculous now. Maybe...if I somehow get her to...no, no I promised I would not talk to her again...

Alice's eyes blurr over. Her vision is quickly replaced by the image of Bella, arms hanging above her, chained together. She is in a random cave somewhere surrounded by mountains. She is covered in bruises and cuts, her once beautiful hair is now dull and raggy. Then Alice hears the one voice she never heard before, but instantly knew who it was. " Bella...time for another day of fun." The voice was laced with haterd and ferocity. The imaged faded, But Alice could still hear Bella's tortured screams.

"Oh, my, God...Bella needs to get out of there now! I need to call Edward." Right as I reached for my phone, I stopped. He cannot get involved in this again. They both don't need to remember each other. They are still healing. This cannot, must not happen. I have to call and warn Bella...
