Chapter 4

The three faces staring at me slowly came into focus. Carlisle, Jasper and Alice were all looking at me. Carlisle had a look of concern, Jasper looked uncomfortable and Alice was just smiling. Carlisle lifted me effortlessly out of the truck and they all set off down the road towards their house. I forgot how fast they could move and I was just trying to stop myself from throwing up when all of a sudden he stopped. Carlisle put me gently on the ground and then moved quickly into the house. Jasper looked from Alice to me and then decided to stay, well until I buckled over and threw up, and then he decided to follow Carlisle inside. Alice picked me up in her cold, marble-like arms and walked slowly, well slowly for her, into the house.

Esme was making the couch into a makeshift bed as I walked in, which confused me a little. I looked around the room, probably a little too eagerly to see if he was anywhere. I tired to hide my disappointment when Carlisle ushered me to the couch and in a flash he had his black doctors bag next to my legs and was shinning a light in my eyes.

"Follow my finger Bella," he said moving it from one side of my face to the other. "Do I want to know how you managed to get concussion?" he asked sighing, "what extreme sport this time? Surfing, rock climbing, sky diving?"

"Gymnastics" I answered without even considering the extreme sports comment, "wait, extreme sports?" I asked quizzically.

Carlisle looked quickly at Alice, enough said. "I'm sorry." She mumbled, well to me it was a mumble, "I was concerned, I know how you tend to attract trouble and I know I was told not to. It was very hard, keeping my thoughts to myself and all. I was singing songs in my head whenever…" she trailed off.

"Alice, its ok" l looked at Carlisle, "it was in gym" I explained, "we were on the balancing beam and I fell off. Only instead of being a normal person I managed to hit my head on the way down, but don't worry no blood" I said in a lame attempt to be funny. They all looked at each other and the room sank into an awkward silence.

After about five minutes I couldn't bear it anymore so I took and deep breath and cleared my throat lightly. In my mind I was preparing to ask the questions that were bothering me the most. I thought I would start with the easiest. "Why are you back?"

Esme looked at Carlisle waiting for him to answer, Alice took great interest in something that was going on outside, Jasper had just re-appeared only to look more uncomfortable than he did before and Carlisle shifted nervously from one foot to another. "We aren't, technically" he said. I looked at him confused.

Alice turned from the window, rolled her eyes at Carlisle's explanation and offered me a better one, "we are heading up to Alaska to spend sometime with the Denali's before we decide where we are going to start up again. But we have been travelling the human way and planes tend to take a long time and we haven't hunted in a couple of weeks and so we are just stopping by. To eat."

"No one is supposed to know we're here."Carlisle said, "we thought it better if we didn't announce we were back. But don't worry we wont be here long so we won't disturb you or anything."

I could have screamed, in hindsight I should have screamed, "'won't disturb me'? then why the hell are you back? Why even stop here? Does he even think about what this is doing to me? Does he even think about anyone else?" I didn't mean to say the last bit but I was just so mad. He made me so mad. I broke down in tears, "its just not fair."

Esme looked at me with lovingly mothering eyes, Alice looked pissed, with him I was hoping and not me, a mad Alice kind of scared me, and Carlisle and Jasper both looked uncomfortable and were looking at anything that wasn't me.

"Nobody was supposed to know" Esme said, repeating Carlisle's ealier words, "we have only spoken to the…" she broke off and looked at Carlisle. At the same time as Esme was starting to put the situation together, I was already a step ahead. They had gone to Sam and told them that they were stopping by and hunting to make sure that there was no violation in the treaty and then Sam told Jacob, who told me. I looked up at four bewildered vampires; I must have been speaking out loud without realizing.

"You know about the wolves?" Esme asked me as concern filled her eyes.

"Of course, Jacob is my best friend" I said defensively.

"Well that explains the smell then" Alice said.

"Huh?"

"You stink, like stale dog" she said grinning. Subconsciously I lifted my arm to my nose and smelt. I couldn't smell anything, just my normal smell or at least I thought it was normal. Alice laughed lightly, "I think our sense of smell is just a little better than yours."

"Where is everyone else?" I asked noticing that there was no appearance from the other three vampires.

"Well Rose and Emmett got married" Esme said dreamily followed by an 'again' muttered from Alice. "And Edward…" she trailed off as I suddenly sucked in a deep breath of air at the mention of his name. It was the first time I had heard his name in a long time. I had put him in a little box in the back of my mind and refused myself to think or call him by his name ever again. All four vampires looked at me concerned.

"Just tell me" I said "is he here?"

"He, um, didn't want to stop here, in case you saw him or something because he was saying he couldn't promise to be so near to you and not see you and he didn't want to upset you." Alice said rather quickly.

"Upset me?" I yelled as I jumped of the couch. I had my hands clenched in fists, "well maybe he should have thought of that before he left me and left me for dead and when Laurent came and tried to kill me and now…" I broke off, I was so mad, I had tears running down my face and I was so made that I felt like I could actually kill somebody.

"Bella, please calm down." Jasper pleaded to me.

"Calm down? You want me to calm down. I can't!"'

"Jasper, do something please," Alice said desperately, "if she keeps this up she will kill someone, trust me."

"Nope" I said, "not someone, just him."

"Good luck with that" Alice said smiling.

I thought about what she just said and she was right I had no hope of killing him. I sighed and sat back down on the couch. "Sorry about that" I said looking at my shoes, "I'm just a little emotional."

"Tell me about it" Jasper said, "You stress me out too much, Bella."

I laughed at the thought of a stressed out vampire. "Can vampires be stressed?" I asked smiling.

"Yes we can," Alice said, "I get stressed all the time around you. It's your lack of fashion appreciation that does it to me."

All of a sudden after getting all that off my chest I felt so much better. I smiled at the vampires who I was once certain would be my family one day and I couldn't help but feel so much love for all of them. "So how long are you here for?" I asked, but I didn't want the answer. I wanted them to stay forever.

Three eyes turned to Carlisle, "a day or two maybe, depending on how long we hunt for." I nodded but still couldn't help feeling disheartened at the idea that I got some of them back only to know that I was going to lose them again.

"Um, Bella," Alice said, "but you didn't tell Charlie where you were going did you?"

"Not really."

"Well if I could suggest that for your own safety you should go home because I think he's about half an hour away from sending out the full force of the Fork's police department to try and find you."

I put my hand to my mouth in shock, crap I forgot Charlie.
