A/N: Hi everyone. To whoever's reading the story so far, I hope you're liking it :) cause I'm liking it a lot. Yet again, I'm really sorry for not updating quicker. School, family, friends, etc are kind of making it hard to write. But, I'm on break from exams now. After I post this chapter up, I'll start on the third on RIGHT AWAY :) Hopefully it'll be up before March Break. Anyways, enjoy!

The TV reporter was mumbling in the background. Rosalie, Alice and I sat in front of the TV, talking. Alice was mad at me... very mad at me. "Bella... we are not going to Edward's. Have you seen how many of those... those THINGS are out there?", said Alice. I sat on the couch, looking down at my hands, anger coursing through my veins.

"What about Jasper and Emmett? Are you just going to leave them to die?", I said, glaring at Alice, who was pacing the living room.

Rosalie was looking out the window, but I swore I could've heard her sniffling. I had hit a tender spot. Jasper was Alice's long-time boyfriend for about 6 months, and Emmett was Rosalie's husband of 4 years. They were Edward's co-workers and adopted brothers.

Alice had slowly stopped pacing. Tears were slowly streaming down her face as her icy blues were glancing between Rosalie and I. Rosalie, who had been quiet for most of the argument, softley spoke up.

"I think we should go."

Dead. Silent. The only sounds heard were the TV and Alice and I's heavy breathing. My heart soared at those words. My blood raced. My adrenaline rushed. I was ready, I was pumped. I would kill however many of those zombie-things to get to Edward. I'd do anything to see Emmett's goofy smile and to feel Jasper's calm presence. I was ready. Let's go, let's go. Please, please, PLEASE.

I looked up at Alice. It was up to her. We were going to make a group decision. Everyone had to go; we couldn't leave a single soul behind. She stared helplessly into our eyes. She let out a heavy sigh, and simply said, "fine."

A smile instantly lit my face. I jumped off the couch as fast as I could, and squeezed Alice with all my might. After a few mumbled "ow's", followed by light laughter, I let go of her. Rosalie spoke up from behind us, "we should try to call them. Who knows if they're even at work right now." Alice instantly got her phone out and dialed Jasper's number before I could even agree with Rosalie. She put the speaker phone on.

"Hello?", a southern accent drawled.

"Jazzy... it's Al. Are you okay? Are you hurt? Where are you? Em, Ed, where are they? Are they --"

"Alice, please. Calm down. We're fine, no blood or tears shed. We're at Edward's appartment. We didn't even know what was going on until about

10 minutes ago. The streets over here aren't as bad as where you are", he replied.

"Jasper, stay there, okay? We're coming for you. We --", Alice was cut off, again.

"Alice. N-no. Are you out of your mind? You're going to get killed. Listen, everyone's just going to stay put. We'll figure out a plan later, okay? Right

now, just focus on being safe. All of you."

We gave a silent agreement. Alice was about to say something when a noise was heard on the other side. Glass breaking and grunting noises could be heard. There was yelling from all three men... it was hard to understand, but I could make-out Edward yelling "board up the windows."

"Listen, Alice. I have to go. I'll call you back as soon as I can. I love you."

The line went dead. We all sat there in shock. Alice slowly turned to face Rosalie and I, and quietly said,

"find a backpack. Pack some clothes, food, and weapons. We're heading out."

A/N: It's soooo short, I know... but I really wanted to get this up... I was waiting for this part for SO long. The next chapter, which I've already started ;), is going to be much longer, I promise! Rate, review, and tweet me: KonczOfKatt
