Chapter 5 – Lucky escape.

2 months later…

I woke up to find 3 pairs of eyes looking down at me.

"Yes?" I asked as I yawned, stretched and sat up rubbing my eyes.

"Your computers been blinking and ringing all morning lazy!" Said Liz.

"Oh." I mumbled as I jumped out of bed, grabbed my dressing gown and ran into my study. Sure enough my computer was blinking the picture of me Bella and Alex in California. I sighed as I put on my head set and hit enter. Bella was there and she looked frantic.

"Hey Bell's!" I yawned "Sorry about the wait, I slept in."

"That's ok but I need you to come down to Forks now!" She sounded pretty impatient.

"Why?" I asked warily. She told me what had happened.

"And now I need you to come down here to help me figure out what's going on." She said as she finished her story. For once in my life I was speechless. "Well?" She asked with hint of impatience.

"Ummmmmmmm… Sure I'll come! Can this lot come too though?" I asked while pointing to the guys who stood in the door.

"Yes of course, whatever makes you happy, just please come! Now!" The line went dead. I turned around to see Liz, Alex and John standing over me. Silence filled the room for only a minute.

"We have to make sure she is safe. I don't think hanging around with young wolfs is a terribly good idea." I said as I turned towards John. He let out an annoyed gruff. Alex gave him a gentle squeeze on his hand.

"I agree with Emma. We must help keep her safe if she must hang around with a bunch of adolescent wolfs!" Liz said as she took her place beside me.

"Me too." Said Alex and John in sequence. I rolled my eyes and jumped up from my chair.

"Well," I said as I headed towards the door. When I got to it I turned. "Let's get ready to go to Washington!" I grinned and turned.

"Emma we're here!" Liz said as she opened the car door. I woke up with a start.

"Ok." I yawned I got out of the car with Alex behind me. It had taken all night to get from New York to Forks. I looked at my watch to find out it was 8 in the morning. I went to knock on the door. Bella answered.

"Hey Bell's so we're heeeerrrrrrrreeeeeee!" Before I could finish my sentence she dragged me into the house. I found ourselves in the kitchen with Alex and Liz behind me.

"What took you so long?" She asked as she got a drink of water. I sat down in the nearest chair.

"Well it takes a long time to get from one side of America to the other you know!"

"Sorry," she mumbled as she also sat down. "I'm just really worried about Jake you know." I went next to her side and gave her a hug. "Yeah I know. So what's the plan of action?" I asked as I took my seat again.

"Let's head over to La Push to see Jake." She suggested as she stood up, put cup in the sink and headed towards the door. "Come on!" She called as she opened the door. We followed her out the door. We saw her climb into her truck.

"Bell's," I called "We should go in our car; it's quicker than that old thing!" I grinned as I climbed into the car with Alex.

"Fine!" she grumbled as she got out of her truck and into the car.

It only took us 2 minutes to get to get to the boundary line. We stopped.

"Why are we stopping?" Bella turned to ask Liz.

"Well," I said as I began to answer for Liz. I then sighed and rolled my eyes for effect as I climbed out of the car. Alex and Bella followed in suit. "Liz is a vampire and we don't really want her to be killed by a pack of wolves, do we?"

"Oh. Right." Bella murmured.

"I'll be back here at 7 ok?" Liz said through the now open car window.

"Great!" I smiled at her. A second later she was gone. I turned to Bella. "Would you like a ride?" I asked.

"Um, OK." She said warily as she climbed on to my back. Then Alex and I started to run. It only took us about a minute to get to the back of Jacob's house. Bella jumped of my back and began to walk around to the front of the house. Alex and I followed her round.

I don't know what happened next all I remember is that Bella was being chased by a werewolf, next I was in front of her with the wolf in front of me. He growled.

"Well done Emma, you just had to do it didn't you!" Alex said as she walked to my side. "Now they know your secret!" she said exasperatedly.

"Sorry but getting chased by a werewolf isn't the best thing in the world!" I turned to face Bella. "I would know!" I grinned but my grin soon faded as I heard some one leap towards me. I turned as I used my power to push him back. I scowled at the boys who were watching me with wide eyes. "Don't try to take me down just because my back is turned!" I yelled at them as my temper rose. I felt a hand on my shoulder. My temper went down as I closed my eyes. "Sorry, I have a problem with my temper sometimes." I said calmly as I opened my eyes. "Right, well I'm going to get something to eat and drink." I turned towards Alex. "Want to come?"

"Sure!" she said we turned towards Bella.

"If you need us ring my mobile, its on the contact list!" I said as I gave her my spare mobile. She took it.

"Thanks, for both."

"No problem!" I grinned and off Alex and I went. I could feel the guys staring into my back as I ran.

"This is so awesome!" I shouted to Liz above the music. It had been weeks since we last saw Bella and we had rented out a boat and were sailing it near First beach. That's when I saw Jake then Bella laying on the sand, as white as stone. "NO!" I yelled as I jumped off the boat and ran towards the beach.

"Emma!" Alex and Liz yelled after me. Seconds later I was on the beach next to Bella, her eyes wide open with shock, sitting up and staring at me.

"Thank god you're ok!" I said letting relief fill my voice. "I thought you were dead meat!" I offered her my hand. She took it and got up with Jacob helping her.

"Thanks." She whispered.

"So what did you do?" I asked her as I examined her drenched clothes. "Drown?"

"Something like that!" She laughed once without humour.

"Come on lets get you home!" Said Jacob. He turned to me. "Why don't you go ahead to look for danger hmmmmmmmmm?" He asked.

"Ok. WE will" I turned to Bella. "See you in a minute!" I turned and ran across the water towards the boat. As soon as I jumped aboard I turned to wave but they were already gone. I sighed and turned to find Liz and Alex staring at me. I began. "Well lets take this boat back and get Bella's House!" I turned towards the engine.

"Fine!" they said. I began the engine.
