Everything Twilight belongs to Stephanie.

PAUL POV

When Bella rushed out the door, after reading whatever message she had, I climbed out of her bed, and followed her out the back. When she screamed for Sam, I knew it couldn't be good. As soon as he came out of the woods in wolf form she ran up to him and showed him whatever message she had.

"Is everything okay?" I asked.

"Lets take this inside." Sam said, and we all turned back to the house. Bella leading the way.

Once we got inside we all sat in the same spots we did earlier waiting for whatever explanation was coming now. Man this has been the longest fucking day of my life.

"What was the message Bella?" I asked.

"She knows where James is." She said.

"Who knows?" I couldn't take to many more surprises. "Just tell us everything Bella."

"Alice." she said.

"Alice who?" Asked Sam.

"Cullen."

"How do you now the Cullen's?" Sam said. A little anger evident in his voice.

"Last year Phil, Renee and me went to Boston for a couple of months. Phil had some sort of baseball thing he was doing. I enrolled in school while I was there, because I was trying to graduate early. Dad didn't tell you guys I was in Boston?" she asked.

We both shook our heads no. This is the first we heard of anything like this.

"Well anyways, while I was in Boston I met the Cullen's. They were attending the high school there. Alice and I became really good friends, that's it."

"Okay well what does the Cullen's have to do with James?" I asked.

"When I was in Boston, Alice's husband Jasper, asked me about what happened. He could read and manipulate emotions. He could feel what I was feeling. So I told them what James did. Alice can see the future, but only on those she's met before. Do you remember, when I told you that James disappeared for two weeks, and he came back different?" She asked, and we both nodded.

"Well apparently James was up in Denali meeting his friend Laurent. While he was there, Alice and Jasper were visiting there extended family who just happened to be the same family that Laurent's mate was in. Alice met James, but she wasn't able get a read on his future. She told me that her visions are subjective and could change. When a person changes his mind, the vision changes. James knew this, from talking with Laurent, so while she was visiting he kept changing his mind. She didn't know me then. She said she stopped looking after she left Denali. Are you following me?" She asked.

"I think so." I said. "Basically what your saying is that James left you for two weeks, went to visit his leech friend Laurent, met Alice while he was there, but she couldn't see his future because he pretended to be the confused little bloodsucker, he went back to you. Fucked you up pretty bad, and left you. Then a year later you met the Cullen's in Boston when your step dad was there for some baseball thing. And you told them what happened with James."

"Yeah… I know, its a lot to take in." She said.

Holly fuck…a lot to take in, this girl had a sign written on her forehead that said dinner.

"Stand up Bella." I said.

"What?" she asked.

"Can you stand up for me."

She looked at me funny, but then stood up. When she stood I turned her around and rubbed her back.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"Just looking for the target mark." I said jokingly.

"Ass." she said as she turned to sit back down.

"What now?" I asked looking at Sam.

"Now I think we call Bella's friend Alice." He said.

Bella looked at me and Sam, picked up her phone, and dialed the number shaking. She set it on speaker phone, and set it in the middle of the table.

"I've been waiting for you to call…where have you been? cant you answer your phone anymore?" Some one said, I'm assuming Alice, after it rang once.

"Hey Alice. Sorry I've had a rough couple of days. How is everyone."

I wanted to get to the part where we would get answers, but I guess I had to wait a bit.

"Everyone's good. Jasper and I are in Paris. Rose and Emmett are somewhere in Rome, I haven't spoken to them in about a month. Edward and Tanya are with Carlisle and Esme on Isle Esme. But your not calling to find out how everyone is Bella." She said.

"No that's not why I'm calling. I'm in my living room with Sam the alpha of the pack in LaPush, and my boy…boyfriend Paul." She said stuttering.

If it weren't for the fucked up reason why we were gathered here, I would have been jumping up and down. She called me her boyfriend.

"Is he cute?" She asked.

"Alice?" Bella said.

"Geez a girl cant even ask a question anymore." She huffed out.

"Alice, this is Sam, were calling to find out what the message was about that you sent Bella." He said interrupting the conversation.

"Oh…right. I've been looking into James future for a while now, trying to get a reading. Jasper was really upset about the way he treated Bella, so he wanted to try to find him to confront him. The only problem is, he kept changing his mind. Blocking me. I couldn't get a clear vision until last night. It was only about a minute long, but I saw them in a clearing near Forks." She said.

Wait did she just say them?

"Them?" I asked, just to make sure I wasn't hearing things.

"Yeah. James and Irina." She said.

"Who's Irina?" Bella asked before anyone else got a chance to ask.

"She was Laurent's mate. She knows he was killed, she's joining James to try to get to Bella." Alice said.

"What does the Denali coven think about that?" Sam asked. "Are we going to have more problems?"

"No. I talked to them earlier, and they said they tried to talk her out of it, but she was adamant in doing this, They wont take sides with her."

"What's going to happen Alice?" Bella asked.

"I don't know Bella. I cant see the wolves, so when your near them I cant see you."

"Do you know when there going to be here?" I asked.

"No. The vision was too short. But I'll keep looking. He slipped up once. He might do it again."

"Please call if you see anything else." Sam said.

"I will, just make sure Bella has her phone with her." She replied.

"So….Bella…is he cute?"

"Goodnight Alice."

"Bu.."

She was cut off by Bella closing her phone, ending the conversation. A couple seconds later her phone started beeping again letting her know she had an incoming text. She opened the phone, read the message and started to laugh. After pushing a few more buttons she closed the phone.

"Who was that one from?" I asked. I didn't want to be nosy…..who the hell am I kidding, I wanted to know.

"Alice." she said smiling.

"Okay, well that's my cue to leave. I'll be out patrolling if you need anything." Sam said getting up and walking out the door.

"What did she want?" I asked.

"To know if you were cute." she said.

"And what did you tell her."

"I told her you were cute in your own way." She said.

"In my own way?" I said.

I couldn't help it, I jumped on top of her and started tickling her sides. Right above her hip. She was laughing so hard, her face was beat red and she was gasping for air.

"Okay…okay…mercy… uncle…. your cute." She said between breaths.

"Just cute?" I said, tickling her a little more. But stopping every few seconds to let her catch her breath.

"Please….god….like" she said.

"That's better." I said stopping.

"Well are you ready for bed Mr. Meraz?" she asked, after she caught her breath.

"Yeah. I'm wiped." I said climbing off of her, grabbing her hand and pulling her up with me.

"What are you doing?" She asked me.

"Your coming to bed too." I said.

"You sure that's a good idea." She said, when I turned my head to look at her, she had one eyebrow raised and the corner of her mouth was turned up.

"I'll be a good boy. I promise." I said smirking. I'll be good tonight. I said in my head.

"Alright lets go." She dropped her hand and started walking towards the stairs. I stood watching her.

About half way up, she turned and looked at me through the living room entrance.

"Here doggy doggy." She said laughing….

Oh ….she wants to play huh.

"Bella, I'm going to give you a three second head start, and then I'm coming after you." I said laughing.

"You wouldn't." she said.

"Oh I would …. One!"

"Come on I was just playing." she said walking backwards up the stairs slowly still giggling.

"Two!"

She turned on the stairs and started to walk faster.

"Three!"
