The roar of an engine interrupted the two clans and Bella gave a sigh of relief only to get a feeling of déjàvu. "Look what I found, three trouble makers in a forest," The newcomer stated. He took off the bike's helmet to reveal ice blue eyes. The three vampires growled. Their attention now away from Bella, the Cullens started to back away.
"Who is he?" Bella whispered. Edward just kept pulling her away from the incoming fight. Bella kept looking over towards the boy though. He looked like a skinny boy in black HAZMAT suit that had a hood. The boy just sat there opposing three vampires. This didn't seem right.

"He seems human," Victoria sneered. The trio seemed to loosen-up. The human just smirked. He pulled out a regular lighter that had a black cross on the lighter as decoration. Carlisle looked at the boy with pity. Then as the trio was about to move he opened the lighter and fire spewed between the two groups. Then instead of dying out it surrounded the trio of vampires not dying down, but building stronger.

The human sped the bike over to Bella and tossed her the helmet. He looked straight at Edward. "Get to her house and start packing," he ordered. Then he stared at Bella. "Get on," he ordered again. As Bella placed the helmet on, his hand went against his ear. "Cover track," he stated and then flicked a switch. The Cullens then looked over at Bella confused.

"What's happening?" Bella asked as she got on the bike. The man didn't answer. As soon as her arms were along his waist though, they sped off.

"You just became a vampire's meal. That back there was a tracker. He obsesses over the hunt and lucky for you you're now the hunted. I'm bringing you home so you can get your family out of the way. If he knows you had a fight with them he'll leave them alone. As much as I hate it the other vampires might just be able to help you," He informed Bella as they drove to her house. And as soon as Bella got off, he was gone.

Bella took the helmet off and placed it in her truck. Edward was soon by her side. "I have to fight with Charlie so he'll be safe," Bella told Edward.

Danny drove the motorcycle away from Forks. He knew where they'd bring her; it was the only place that made sense. A hotel in Phoenix where Edward could meet up with Bella once the tracker realized he was being tricked. Why should he go there? Danny knew that Bella would run away to save somebody. The real question was whom was she going to try to save. Then Danny's phone vibrated. Danny's eyes widened as he picked the phone up. "Hello?" Danny answered the phone.

"Hi, this is Charlie. You're a friend of Bella's right? I saw your number on my daughter's desk. Bella's mom called a short while ago from Florida. She's coming over here to pick Bella up and I was wondering if you knew where she was?" Charlie asked.

"That's funny, I just saw her driving up to hotel by my work," Danny answered. "Do you want me to try to bring her home?" Danny questioned.

"Yes, thank you!" Charlie answered relieved.

That was when Danny saw Bella drive away in a taxi. "Those stupid Vampires," Danny mumbled holding back a curse. Was it safe to follow? Most likely, Charlie was home and Bella's mom was on a plane, so who could possibly be in danger aside from Bella. Danny sighed as he followed Bella to a ballet studio. She carefully stepped out and opened the door to Mimi's Dance School. Bella let the door close behind her.

Danny got off his bike. "That stubborn girl and those stupid vampires," Danny muttered as he grabbed a blade that was connected to his bike. Danny paused, what if someone else really was in danger. Then Bella's risk to save them at the cost of her health would be for nothing. Then Danny heard Bella yell. Danny muttered a few curses and ran into the dance studio. Danny felt like an idiot for even giving into doubt for even a second.

Edward arrived at the hotel only for Bella to be gone. They were all heading to the ballet studio Alice had seen, but Edward was farther ahead the rest. Edward couldn't help but believe this was his entire fault. Actually, he knew it was. They'd already be gone if he hadn't brought Bella with him to a baseball game. He knew there were other vampires out there. So, why did he do it?

Edward couldn't figure it out. The only good thing was when the human stranger rescued Bella. Edward was relying on that stranger now to do it again, just until he got there. That was as long as that human needed to last. Edward didn't care who he was at the moment. Nor did he care how the stranger had totally masked Bella's smell.
No, not even the fact that Edward couldn't read the stranger's thoughts bothered him at the moment. The only thing he cared about was Bella's safety. So, he pushed himself to go faster. He didn't slow down as his family told him to. Most likely it was because Edward could care less if he died tonight. Luckily for him that stranger wasn't as unprepared as Edward believed.

So, Bella opened her eyes. Bella's hand immediately going to the back of her head where the pain was coming from and finding blood. Bella sat up. She was determined not to let James win. She wasn't going to let him see her cry, and she most definitely wasn't going to let him hear her scream.

It was lucky for her then, that the boy from earlier entered. Danny let out a silent sigh when he saw that she was only slightly banged up. "I hate vampires," Danny growled as he held a katana in his hands.
