Bella's POV

While walking back to the house I can't help thinking on how often this same thing will happen. I take a deep breath to try to relax and distract myself from the thought when I smell something ... different. Not a human. It didn't smell good, but it certainly didn't smell bad. I stop walking; the smell is just too strong. I can tell it's an animal. I'm struggling to stand my ground; my thirst is really getting to me. I look to Jasper for permission, and he nods encouragingly. I start running towards the smell.

The next thing I know I'm surrounded by four dead elk. I gasp and sit up, sensing someone coming close, and I tense up before immediately starting to relax. Of course- Jasper. Who else would it be? If it was a human, they would be dead right now. I flinch at the thought. I look down at myself. I'm a mess. I'm just wiping blood from my mouth when Jasper, along with Alice walks into the small clearing. I look down at myself and grimace. I'm covered in blood. I look back at them to see Alice with a small smile and Jasper has the corners of his mouth tilted up. I can tell they're trying not to laugh and my red- used to be white- outfit. I must look like a mass murderer of something along those lines. I sigh and start toward them where, I'm guessing, they're waiting for me to follow.

We walk back to the house and they start to fill me in of what happened when they were away. We walk in and sit on the couches. Alice starts "When we left, we all went to Russia. We were all there for about a month when Edward-" I flinched "Sorry- left for Mexico. The house was just to depressing to stay in for him, though, for the rest of us, it just made it much worse, now that we were missing two members of our family. So Jasper and I left too, but we were just planning to leave for a few weeks. When we had got back, we found a note that was saying that they moved to a new location, and to use the phone numbers on our new phones. The phones that we never took with us because we wanted to keep our old ones. They had all switched numbers, moved and now we can't get in contact with them. We went searching for-" She hesitated "-him, we tracked him only to find that he had boarded a plane to who knows where, just like the others had when we tracked them. Eventually we came here to see if we could get any clues to where they went when I had a vision of you trying to kill yourself! Why would you?" She ends frantically. I'm confused for a second, as I don't recall trying to commit suicide, when I remember cliff diving, and the events after.
