I don't own Twilight!

Chapter Two: House of Memories

I drove down the overgrown drive and emerged in the clearing where the huge white house stood.

My heart began to race at the sight of it, and I prayed it would hold the answer to finding Edward and the Cullens.

I quickly pulled into the garage, because I knew that there was a chance Charlie would coming looking for me even though I asked him not to.

This would probably be the first place Charlie would look, so I decided that hiding my car would be a good idea.

I pulled into the garage and noticed all the cars were gone; even Edward's special occasion car was missing.

I got out of my car, shut the garage door, and ran quickly into the house locking the door behind me.

I slowly turned around and faced the living room, where I noticed everything was covered in white sheets.

I stood there by the front door for a few minutes listening to the silence that echoed around the house.

I am not entirely sure what I was listening for, maybe I foolishly hoped Edward would still be here packing or something.

After a few minutes I decided no one was here, which should have been obvious due to lack of cars in the garage, and walked into the living room.

Memories of my disastrous birthday party flooded my mind but I pushed them away because that was exactly what I didn't want to think about right now.

I walked over to the large sheet covered lump that I knew to be Edward's piano and pulled the sheet off.

Just the sight of it and the memories that went with it almost made break down in tears.

I knew in my heart that Edward still loved me but seeing his piano made my heart ache with yearning for him.

I sat down on the piano bench and ran my fingers over the keys; I didn't know how to play anything but just hearing the sound of the piano made me feel closer to Edward.

After sitting there for a few minutes hitting random keys, I decided I had wallowed in my misery long enough.

I stood up and made my way to the stairs slowly because I no longer had someone to catch me if I fell down the stairs.

The first door I came to was Carlisle's office; I silently pushed the door and walked inside the now empty room.

All of Carlisle's book shelves were empty and when I turned around and found all the pictures missing from the wall.

Thinking of the pictures that use to hang on that wall made a whole new round of memories surface in mind.

Memories of Edward explaining the pictures and telling me about Carlisle swirled in my mind but I pushed them away not wanting to distract myself from my mission.

Only one thing remained in the office and that was the computer sitting on Carlisle's desk.

It struck me as odd that Carlisle would leave something as valuable as his computer behind, but then I figured with all his money, he probably bought a new one in whatever town they were in.

I quickly walked out the door and continued down the hallway towards the next door.

I walked past Alice and Jasper's room, but didn't go in, because I was trying my best to block the memories that came with that room.

I shuddered as I thought off the hours I spent in there while Alice played Bella Barbie.

All though I hated to admit it Bella Barbie was sounding pretty good right about now.

I walked right past Emmett and Rosalie's room; I had never been in there and figured now wouldn't be a good time for my first visit.

I walked past a bathroom and then made my way up the stairs to the third floor of the house.

I came to halt at the top of the stairs when I came face to face with Edward's bedroom door.

With shaking hands I pushed the door of the room I had come to love more than my own open.

I walked into the room and pulled the sheet off of Edward's black leather couch so I could sit down.

Once I was sitting I noticed how truly bare the room was and I again had to hold back my tears.

Edward's shelf was empty, his CDs and CD player were gone and through his open closet door I could see that all of his clothes were gone.

When I decided I had stared at the empty room long enough I got up and walked over to Edward's dresser.

Slowly I pulled the drawers open, and discovered that he had left a couple of t-shirts behind which made me ridiculously happy.

I quickly snatched up one of the shirts, held it to my nose, and let Edward's scent wash over.

I knew if anybody saw me right now they would think I was nuts, a teenage girl sitting on the floor smelling a t-shirt.

I however could have cared less because in that moment, with Edward scent around me, I felt safe and confident that I would be able to find him.

Reluctantly I dropped the shirt and walked over to Edward's desk, where I found a photo album in the top drawer.

I flipped threw and noticed most of the pictures were of the Cullens, but there were a few pictures of some vampires I didn't recognize.

What caught my attention was that those other vampire's had gold eyes just like the Cullens.

I took one of the pictures out of the plastic slot and flipped it over to see if Edward had written on it, he had.

Denali Coven was written on the back in Edward's fancy script. I instantly remembered Edward telling me about how he had gone to the Denali coven for help after my first day at school.

My heart started to race again as I realized the Denali coven may be able to help me find Edward.

Even if they didn't know where the Cullen's were maybe they would know how I could get a hold of them.

I was desperate so I ran down the stairs to the second floor, and was suddenly very thankful Carlisle left his computer behind as I searched for the next flight to Alaska.
