CHAPTER ONE

Bella was worried. The minutes seemed to be going slower each time she dared looking at the clock above her. It was impossible for her to think that Julie could be in any danger. Alice had been very vague about it, well to her anyways. Bella was certain that more details had been given to the other Cullens.

Esme was to the only one to remain with Bella as Edward had forbidden her to come with them. That had made her even more worried about Julie. Several times, she was tempted to call Julie just to tell her to stay home, but in the end, her rational mind told her that she would only sound slightly crazy to Julie.

"This is killing me." Bella finally shouted though only a whisper would have been necessary for Esme to hear her plea.

Vampires had a really good hearing and could hear every single whisper said in a very long distance.

"Bella calm down. They won't let anyone harm her and you know it. You have nothing to worry about." Esme said in her soft voice.

In an instant, she was next to Bella, putting her arm around her shoulders. Bella knew that Esme was right, but she couldn't help but to feel helpless. For her, to know that something could happen was worse than learning it afterwards.

"It's nice here." Julie giggled as the dark haired boy next to her park his car.

They found themselves in the forest in border of the city. He just looked at her and leaned over for a kiss. She felt no shame in kissing him back thinking that College was about experiences.

"I know, I love coming here. It's really inspiring." He grinned before kissing her once more.

The kiss was growing into a more passionate make-out when noises were heard outside. They both pulled away, looking around.

"What's that?" She asked, trying to mask her anxiety.

"I have no idea." He exclaimed. "Maybe it's an animal. We're safe in here."

He was only saying that to comfort her, but he was thinking of leaving just to avoid being wrong. Julie's heartbeats accelerated as she waited for another sound from outside.

In a fraction of second though, two things happened at once. Jason was pulled out of his car and Julie screamed.

-----

"Alice, where is she supposed to be now exactly?" Emmett asked his little sister. "Edward, Rose and I are entering the forest."

"They are..." But she didn't finish as a shriek pierced into the night.

Edward, Emmett and Rosalie ran with no need to look where they were heading; they knew where she was. In less than a minute, they found themselves at the scene. Carlisle, Alice and Jasper had joined them not too long after.

"It's too late for him." Carlisle noted as life had left the boy's body.

"Julie is still in the car, if we act fast, we could take him down before she notices anything." Rosalie informed them.

But the vampire who was bent down to his victim turned around sensing their presence. He was ready to attack them. He crouched himself hesitating whether to take them down or go for the girl.

"We have to act fast." Edward exclaimed. "He thinks we want to steal his snack."

Carlisle, though he had always been the rational one and the one to think thoroughly every plan, ran to the vampire.

"She's mine." The other vampire exclaimed. "Get your own blood."

"I am not here to feed." Carlisle said, trying to reason with him. "But my family and I are living here and we'd like for you to avoid feeding here, although you already started."

Both of them looked for a microsecond at the body before looking back at each other. The other was still crouched, ready to attack. The human smell in the air seemed to be making him more unstable. Emmett and Jasper had rushed to Carlisle, ready to attack the newcomer if he dared make a move.

"I don't follow rules, I make them." The man finally exclaimed. "But I'm willing to make an exception if you let me leave with the girl."

"That we cannot accept. One murder is awfully enough for a place like here." Carlisle exclaimed keeping his calm.

Edward, Alice and Rosalie had joined them at that point and though he was surrounded by more vampires that he had ever met, he was not letting go. He wanted the girl.

Edward, you'll need to bring her home.

Alice's thoughts invaded his mind. He shook his head at that. It would expose them to her and they couldn't allow that.

It's the only way. He won't stop. Even if we all jump on him, he's going to succeed to get to her. She'll be changed.

He was debating with himself about what was right in all of this. The rest of the Cullens had noticed the silent exchange between the brother and sister and figured out what Alice was asking. If any of them could have protested, they would have.

If you grab her, he'll try to follow you, but with Julie out of the way, we'll be able to bring him down faster. Edward, trust me.

He finally nodded, though he still feared the consequences of their actions.

-----

Julie was still holding herself, not able to move. Even if she hadn't seen what was happening outside, she could hear faint noises. Jason's screams had been brief and stopped a while ago and she was scared to believe that he might be dead. Growls were suddenly heard outside and she buried her head in her arms, tears streaming down her face.

"Julie, get out of the car." She heard someone said followed by a growl.

Had she just imagined Alice's voice? She wasn't too sure if the fear hadn't made her crazy. Though, she suddenly felt slightly more secured. She dared opening the car's door and saw not only Alice, but most of the Cullens standing there.

They were all staring at something behind the car, but she couldn't see what it was. As she slid out of the car, keeping herself close to the ground, things once again happened in a fraction of second. Someone grabbed her, pulling her off the ground and she found herself on his back.

"Hold on tight." She heard Edward say and he didn't need to say it twice.

As he ran through the forest, things were disappearing at a speed she would compare to the speed of light. Though she knew it was not a normal behaviour for a human, she couldn't let herself think it. It seemed like her fear was overcoming all the questions that would have invaded her mind at the unexplained events of the night.

When he stopped, her arms freed his neck and she fainted.
