"What are we going to do about him, Edward," I heard Rosalie question as I started to wake up. "We can't ignore the thought of him forever, and we definitely can't forget that he's going to be looking for Bella, no matter how much we wouldn't like it."

"Let's just take a couple of days rest, that's all I'm asking," Edward sighed in frustration.

"He'll move in if we're not careful," she growled. "We need to start talking about him now!"

"I know that we're going to have to be careful, but I'm worried about her. She's been so fragile about all of this and—."

"I get it, Edward, but she's strong. She'll be able to handle this."

"I don't—."

"Edward, you do realize that you are talking to a victim of abuse also," she deadpanned. I heard Edward sigh again with sadness laced within the wind of the sound. I opened my eyes to see his fingers going through his hair.

"I'm sorry, Rose," he stated. "I didn't think that we'd—."

"It's alright, Edward," she replied. "But we need to get this situation handled immediately!"

"Just give her some time—."

"We don't have time!" I quietly walked up behind Edward, and I wrapped my arms around him.

"Rosalie, if we are going to do this, you are going to have to be an expert strategist because that is what he is," I added my input. "He's got people that will help him escape, no matter what approach we go through. He's that good. And we'll have to find someone that isn't on his side to be able to arrest him."

"Why don't we just go through the local police," she questioned.

"Because James has people there that are working with him."

"What about Port Angeles?" I shook my head. "Seattle?" I shook my head.

"I've thought of all of those when I was in eighth grade; they didn't work."

"But then, who would we be able to go to?"

"I've got one place we could, but I was forbidden to go down there. See, my father was a cop, but he was murdered when I was in third grade, along with my mother. And that's when I was handed over to James, instead of my godfather. Well, my godfather was a cop, just like my dad. You see, they use to always work together when needed, and he's the only one that my dad truly trusted in the force. That's why I was supposed to go over to him, but James made the court case hand me over to him.

"My godfather was always suspicious of my uncle, so that's why they were in court, fighting over me. I wanted to stay with him because I also had a bad feeling about him. As soon as James had me into his custody, he cut off any contact that I could have with my godfather."

"So, what you are saying is to try and go to him," she questioned. I nodded. "Why didn't you try and get Angela to go to him?"

"Because I didn't think that she should be involved with any more than she already was. She was all alone, and I couldn't risk her dying because of him finding out. And I'm not saying that I am bringing you into this so you guys can get killed, but you have a bigger family than she does, and you guys have a safer chance of surviving. And also you guys won't stay out of this no matter how much I try to kick you out of it."

"You can count me in," Emmett grinned as he wrapped his arms around Rosalie. She immediately eased into him.

"You know that best friends do everything together, right," Angela smiled as she came to stand by me. "And besides, I want to kick James where the sun doesn't shine."

"You've got me with Angie," Ben said as he wrapped his arms around my best friend. "Besides, Forks needs some action around here." Angela rolled her eyes, and then Jasper and Alice came in.

"I feel like everything's going to turn out badly," she sighed.

"Alice, we already knew that," Emmett scoffed.

"I'm going," Jasper whispered. "I wouldn't be much if I couldn't save a family member." I smiled at him before looking at the others. They were all smiling at me. I felt Edward pull my arm so that I was the one being held instead.

"So where are we going off to now," Emmett questioned.

"We're going to La Push," I answered before walking off with Edward connected by our hands. The others then followed, and we were off to find Billy Black.
