This is Edward again. Enjoy!

We were like flies, zipping thorugh the trees. We combed the forest, heading toward the airport. It wouldn't be too long now. I would get her back. I would give my life to get her back.

We had lost their tracks at the bus station, but it wasn't too difficult to find out where they were going. Besides, a little charming from Roaslie to the bus station attendant made getting information as simple as picking an apple from a tree.

We only had about a half an hour until Bella's plane was scheduled to take off. Alice had found that out through her supposed "connections." It was at the Port Angeles airport. From there, the plane would take them to the coast, and then another would shove them off to Italy. I wasn't even going to let her leave the state.

Edward, I'm trying to tune in to Bella's future, but she keeps changing her mind. I can't keep up as well as I usually can, I heard Alice speak through her mind.

"Alice, we can't rely on your visions. We've already established that." My tone was a bit harsher than I wanted.

Her expression was sympathetic, but I could still see some hurt in her eyes.

I sighed. "Alice, I'm sorry. It's just-"

"Edward," Alice interrupted me. "I know you're worried about Bella. We all are. She's family to us too. You have to keep it together so we can get her back quickly and safely. We are about to defy the largest Vampire family in the world. Focus, please?"

I looked at her, dodging trees as I did. "Alright, Alice. I'm focused."

She nodded, turning back to what was in front of her. She had a canvas bag slung over her shoulder. After sniffing the air, I realized she had a variety of perfumes and colognes stashed inside it. I assumed they were for covering up our scents.

We didn't have that much time left, so we would have to hurry to carry out our plans. We continued running. I tried to find the vampire kidnapper's thought pattern. Since I have already read his thoughts, finding them again would be easier. I concentrated, focusing on the voice I had heard before.

A minute passed, but then I suddenly caught wind of his thoughts.

I shouldn't have told this girl my name. Ugh, I'm starting to lose focus. It's been so long since Aro let me out to do my own missions. Now, he wants me to be his go-to creature. I just have to do it, though, because then Aro will respect me like he should. He could use my powers. They're much too useful to him.

I thought about that last statement. What kind of powers could he have that Aro woud find so valuable? They must be important. Still, I couldn't think of anything it could be. There is such a large variety to consider. Still, why would Aro keep this vamprie hidden? Was he locked up somewhere? If he was, it was probably because it would risk Alice seeing him and blowing the whole scheme he had planned.

I kept listening to what he was thinking.

Alright, another fifteen minutes and we'll be there. I just want to get this over with. This girl seems to be falling apart, and if i'm not quick to get her on the plane, she might try something. Aro would not be happy to hear that she was harmed.

My body became rigid and frozen, in a way. I was still running, but I became tense, and my mind flashed out of focus. You better not hurt her. I wanted to roar back at him. If i get there, and she has one hair out of place, I will destroy him myself, and I will confront Aro if I have to. How dare he even think like this.

Bella...she's falling apart? My Bella is in pain, and I can't be there to comfort her. A shadow loomed over me then, and I couldn't take it anymore. I slowed down and came to a stop.

Emmett looked back at me as him and the others stopped right where they were.

"Edward? What's wrong?" Esme asked.

"Bella...I heard the kidnapper's thoughts. She's not doing so well. She's..." I lowered my head into my hands.

Esme came over to me and put her arms around me in a tight hug.

"Edward, she is strong. She has been through so much. Trust me, Edward. We will get to her, and everything will be fine. Come on, we don't have much time." She smiled at me, and that gave me comfort.

Alice chirped in. "Come on! I wanna try out our disguises!"

I sighed. "Are you sure?"

Jasper spoke up. "Don't doubt her, Edward. It won't do us any good."

I looked at him for a moment. His thoughts weren't saying anything otherwise, so I believed him. "Let's go. Carlisle, They're about fifteen minutes from the ariport."

Carlisle nodded. "We'll make it."

At that, we all took off, rushing past the trees to the airport.
