Chapter 8

Carlisle POV

It's been fifteen years since Bella was taken away and I still can't find her! All I know is that a woman and man called Jane and Marc adopted her. Jasper and Emmett even put a case together to get her back. But first, we need to find out where she is! This is unbelievable! We are vampires for crying out loud! I am really loosing hope, surely we would have found her by now… Maybe something happened to her, maybe-

I was interrupted by Edward's growl. Obviously he would have been listening to my mental breakdown. I am sorry son, but it's the truth. I added in my thoughts. Out of all my family, Bella's departure probably caused the most pain to Edward. Everybody was sent into turmoil, but Edward shared a special bond with Baby Bella… Esme and Rose were heartbroken of loosing a daughter, Alice was drowning in guilt for not seeing it happen earlier and preventing and all the boys had already come to become protective big brothers… Yes, our family was quite incomplete without Bella.

I am currently in my office, looking through the archives of adoptive agencies - again. I am scanning through all the paper, using my speed to my advantage. I had been doing this all over the world for the past fifteen years, and occasionally, my children would help me. How can humans write so much useless information? Usually I would admire their nature to record things but this, this is beyond ridiculous! I kept on reading all night and found nothing. I wouldn't have stopped, but even here, in Alaska, I had a job at the hospital.

I spent all day thinking about Bella. Being a doctor was second nature, a part from common courtesy with my patients, I didn't really need to concentrate. Same goes with my children and school, this meant that we all spent most of our days thinking about Baby Bella, well she wouldn't be a baby anymore. She is fifteen, almost sixteen now. Upon thinking that, my dead heart gave an uncomfortable pang.

When Bella was first taken away from our family, Alice had a vision of Bella getting murdered by her parents on her 16th birthday. That would be in five months. However, since that terrifying vision, Alice hasn't seen any death visions of Bella. We all assumed that either the vision was a mistake or the parent's unconscious decision changed when they saw my beautiful baby girl; Bella. For a few years, Alice would get visions of a content little Bella with her 'parents'. Truly, I still felt myself as being her dad… However, after exactly five years of Bella's absence, the visions stopped altogether. This caused the family a panic attack. We were all trying to find her; even though we had visions of her, we were still clueless to her location. Alice had a strong feeling that Bella was alive, and of course, the family has learnt to never bet against Alice…But still, I have my doubts.

Suddenly, an idea struck me. It struck me so hard that I jumped to my feet. The patient I was attending to called me anxiously,

"Ummm… Dr. Cullen? Are you okay?"
"Oh yes, excuse me. Well Ms. Dunn, it seems to be just a common cold, nothing to worry about. Plenty of rest and you will feel better in no time." I swiftly exited the room before my patient could even thank me. I excused myself from the hospital and drove home as quickly as I could.

I barged into the living room; the whole family was already assembled. I am guessing that Alice saw that I wanted to talk to everybody. Edward nodded,

"She saw you coming in and asking for us, but she didn't see why."
"I think I know how to find Bella." Dead silence followed my statement.
"Come with me to my office." We were all in my office under a second. Esme came to my side and wrapped her arm around my waist, "Tell me" she whispered.
Her eyes were filled with hope. As soon as my idea re-appeared in my mind, Edward responded, "Yes!" he hissed.

Immediately he was on my computer searching for the name of Isabella Barker. It was so obvious! How could we have missed it? The name on the grave in Alice's vision was for Isabella Barker. When the page was loaded, we finally got what we were waiting for all these years; Bella's address.

"Alright guys, here's the plan. We can't just barge into her life. For all we know, she is happy and has forgotten us." Everybody grew sombre, it even hurt me to say it, but I needed them to realise.

"But my vision Carlisle" Alice asked
"We all know that your visions are subjective and you haven't had it for fifteen years."
"Carlisle, I made her a promise." Edward firmly reminded me. It had killed him over the years that he couldn't fulfil the promise he made Bella.
"I know, I am not saying that we should forget her! I am only stating that we need to act with caution. I am enrolling you at her school. Edward, Alice, you will be sophomores; Bella's year. Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper, you will be juniors." They groaned at not being chosen to be in Bella's year, but honestly they looked too old to be sophomores. "Don't worry, some classes mix the years together. Ok guys, school starts in 3 days, so let's get a move on it!"

Forks, here we come!

Ok, wasn't the most interesting chapter but it was a lot of background information to understand the story. Feel free to ask any questions if you are confused!
