10.

Alice tried to sit up. "Let her up," I told Emmett and Carlisle.

Slowly Alice sat up. Edward's hand left my shoulder as he stumbled backwards into Bella's arms. "Don't crowd her, give her some room."

Alice closed her eyes and began rubbing her temples. I put my hand up when Jasper tried to pull her up.

"What is it, Alice?"

She opened her eyes and focused them on my face. "Wha- I remember something."

We all looked at her expectantly.

"What is it, Alice," spoke Esme softly.

"I know why I can't see Camila." Silence. "I'd heard stories about her, I just never linked the two together. She is literally a ghost."

Confusion crossed everyone's face, including mine. I had my hand on her knee but I couldn't see where she was going. Jasper sat next to her and stroked her back. She leaned into his chest before continuing.

"I'd heard stories about a girl who had died and actually been brought back to life by being bitten."

Carlisle nodded in understanding. "I remember this from my time with the Volturi." He turned to us. "We speculated that her soul had already left her body by the time she was bitten. It was pulled back when the venom spread, but instead of being a real human, she was merely just a ghost of herself."

"She's invisible to everyone," mussed Edward.

Carlisle nodded. "The resurrecting of dead people with venom was forbidden after that. The Volturi didn't like people running around that they could not read or control."

"They never caught the girl?" asked Emmett.

"No. We couldn't track her. If anyone came across her, she was gone before we could get there."

"Do you think she's killable if she's a ghost?" Emmett had found his anger again. I could tell where his mind was going even without Edward: revenge.

"Emmett," warned Carlisle softly.

But he shrugged, acting innocent. "No worries."

"We shouldn't worry about her unless she comes back."

"She did," Esme said. She explained the scene we had come upon outside the house.

"John shouldn't be out in that cabin alone," spoke Carlisle. I nodded in agreement. He turned to me. "It's nearly dawn. Bring him in here to sleep, and tell Jacob and his friends to come in as well." Then, turning back to everyone else, he said with a smile, "And let's leave Alice and Jasper alone for a bit." Everyone headed to the door, leaving me to shut the door.

""I was so worried," I heard Jasper mutter.

"I would never leave you, Jasper. You know that," whispered Alice in response.

"Good job in there, Lisa." It was Carlisle. I noted that everyone else had disappeared.

I shrugged. "It's really nothing."

Putting his hand on my shoulder, he said, "Whatever you did back there saved Alice. You pulled her out. And I know it wasn't easy."

I clamped my hands together, recalling what had happened. "Actually, I felt very calm. Edward felt like his head going to explode from all the information, but it didn't really bother me."

"Hmm, interesting." Carlisle rubbed his chin. "Well, thank you anyways. You did great in there."

"I guess Edward really did see something in me that night at the hospital," I replied, but Carlisle was lost in his thoughts. I left him and went to bring John and the wolf boys inside.

The sight that met me inside the cabin stopped me in my tracks. My mind went blank as I tried to process what this meant. When my thoughts kicked back in, I turned around in a flash and searched for Jacob and his friends. They had heard me and they came running from out of the woods.

"Please, help me!" I ran around the cabin and into the woods. There was no sign of him anywhere, and no clues to tell me where he had gone.

I sped back to the house. Bursting through the door, everyone looked up at me as I shouted, "John! He's gone!"
