"I swear I am not letting Jasper go back to school for another 100 years" Rosalie whispered in my ear. We were sitting in the crowd at Jaspers graduation commencement, waiting for his name to be called. Rosalie and I had graduated a semester ago, so we had got to spend the last few months making fun off Jasper as he spent all night pouring over his law books.

"Don't forget we still have courtrooms" I whispered back, but I knew what she meant. Not only had Rosalie and I gone to school as full time students we had also had to go to all of Jaspers lectures.

Jasper had done well his first semester but during his second he had almost attacked a girl in the middle of class. He had been able to restrain himself but we had decided not to take any chances. Jasper had wanted to drop out of school right away, but surprisingly Rosalie was the one that would not let him. "There is no way I am letting you drop out of school, when I have to continue" she had raged at him. Looking back on it I think she would have rather let him drop, than go to half of his lectures with him.

"You can go to the courtrooms with him I am done" Rosalie hissed back. I just rolled my eyes at her. As much as she would put up a fight she would do what was right for the family, even if that meant going and listening to Jaspers cases. We had decided that sense Jasper needed us in his lectures he would need us when he started practicing so one of us would have to come and be with him in the courtroom.

"Let's drag Jasper out tonight" I said as Rosalie and I both rose from our seats to cheer for Jasper as his name was called. "He has never once come out, and because you drag me along all the time it only seems fair."

"Whatever Bella you know you have a good time" was all she responded with. She was right though I did have a good time, but I would never let her know that. The first time she had drug me to 'Banners' the local college club I had thrown a huge fit. Rosalie had spent over two hours giving me a make over with out telling me why. When she pulled up outside the club I knew instantly what she was up to.

"Rosalie no, no, no. I don't dance." I had begged her.

"Bella it has been over five years ago sense you danced last, and if you have not noticed you are not as clumsy as you once were, now stop being so melodramatic and get out of the car" she had scolded.

"Why do you even want to go in, I thought you hated humans" I asked her? I really was looking for anyway out of this.

"I am not here for the humans; I am here to have some fun now get out of the car!" She was almost screaming at me by the end and I did not want to get her any angrier so I climbed out of the car and pouted my way up to the bouncer.

"Names" the giant of a man, who looked like he should be a linebacker on a pro football team, had asked.

"Rosalie and Bella Hale" Rosalie had purred at him, it made me want to puke.

"Go right ahead" the bouncer, who we later learned was named Rick, said as he pushed the door open for us with out even looking down at his list.

After that first night Rosalie and I had become regulars there every Friday and Saturday night. Rick would always let us in with a smile, he had a horrible crush on Rosalie, and Rosalie would automatically drag me out onto the dance floor. At first boys tried to pick us up right and left but Rose would always give them her famous ice queen glare and they would scamper off, after a while only boys that had never been to 'Banners' before would come up and try to flirt with us. One time a guy that had been hitting on Rosalie at the mechanics shop that she worked at followed us to the club, I had had to hold Rosalie back from killing the guy as Rick escorted him to the door. I almost laughed when I heard the manager tell Rick that as much as we ignored the guys we were the ones bringing in half the business.

"Jasper I am so proud" I coed in my best fake mother voice. As I ran up to him after the graduation ceremony was over, making Jasper laugh

"Bella says she is dragging us to Banners tonight" Rosalie said to Jasper

"Oh no I am not, there is no way I am going there" Jasper said, the happiness in his voice replaced with fear. "There are to many people there."

"Don't be so antisocial Jasper, you just graduated from law school, and this is a day to celebrate." I teased.

"It's is not like I have not graduated from college before." He mumbled "plus don't you have to work Bella."

"The library closes at nine, you know that plus I took the day off to see my big brother graduate." I said giving him a big hug.

"There is no stopping her so you might as well just come along" Rosalie said unamused at my behavior.

By the time we reached the club the line was around the corner but Rosalie just walked right up to Rick with me literally dragging Jasper behind me. "Is this a guy I see with you girls" Rick asked in mock shock.

"This is our brother Jasper" I informed Rick pushing Jasper threw the door.

We drug Jasper out onto the dance floor, but he just stood there with a bemused look on his face as Rosalie and I danced around him. We danced to three songs before I saw Rick walking towards us. He motioned for me to come over to him so I broke away from my family and went to see what he wanted. "There are some people here asking about you, I tried to get rid of them but they will not leave" Rick said. I did not like the way Rick was acting either. He sounded scared and he was almost shaking, two things I had never seen him do. There was only one explanation I could come up with; the Volturi had finally found us. I could think of no one else that would scare Rick this much. I looked around the room at all the innocent people there having a good time. I knew if we did not go out there the Volturi would not think twice about killing all of these innocent humans.

"Tell them we will be right out there, I need to go get my brother and sister." Rick just looked at me as if he wanted to protest. I don't know if he was scared for me to go talk to them or if he was afraid for himself to back out there. "Rosalie, Jasper I think we are in trouble" I said walking back to them on the dance floor.

"What is wrong" Jasper asked instantly worried.

"Rick said that there are some people here to see us, I think it might be the Volturi"

"Shit" Rosalie cursed under her breath.

"Why do you say that" Jasper asked?

"Because Rick seemed scared and the only thing I can think of that would scare him is a vampire, and the Volturi are the only ones looking for us." I explained

"They are not the only ones looking for us" Jasper said back with a smile on his face. How stupid could I have been, yes it very well could be the Volturi out there but it could also very well be Edward.

I suddenly did not care if it could be the Volturi if there was a chance it could be my Edward. I had to go outside now to see for myself who it was. I grabbed Rosalie's hand and pulled her threw the crowd I could hear her mumbling complaints about me pulling her along but I really did not care.

The three of us burst out of the door ready for either option but it was neither. Across the street leaning up against a shinny black sports car stood two make vampires their eyes blood red.

"You must be the Hales" said one of the men. He was tall, well over six feet tall he had shaggy curly brown hair, but what struck me the most about him were his broad shoulders. I had not seen anyone that big except for Emmett.

"What do you want" Rosalie snapped.

"Rosalie" I whispered, this was really not the time for her bitchyness.

"I must say, we are very luck. We were actually looking for your brother, and when we heard that you two lovely ladies liked to come here we decided that this would be the best place to find you, but luck us we also found your brother" The tall one said.

"Well it looks like you found me, how can I help you" Jasper said stepping in between Rosalie and the mysterious man.

"My name is Michael and this is my brother Andrew" he said turning his unnerving burgundy eyes towards Jasper "and we are in need of your services."

"And why would we want to help you" Rosalie said cutting him off.

"Because we can help you find your family" said the other man, who must have Andrew.

Is it just me or does this chapter seem short. Ok so I am sorry that I have not updated in a while, but I just finished one of my stories and I have two others including this one that I am trying to write. So I have a plan. I am going to try to write one chapter per story and rotate so that I do not update one over the other. Well I hope you like it and please oh please review.
