DISCLAIMER: I own nothing
They got home in about half an hour, running the whole way. When they got there Alice, Emmet, Rosalie and Jasper were all sitting in the living room, silently. No one wanted to talk about what had just happened. They looked up when Esme and Carlisle entered the room but didn't say a word. It was Alice that broke the silence.
"What are we going to tell her parents" she asked the room in general. They all looked at her, not knowing what to say. In an ideal world they would have told the truth. However telling her parents that her boyfriend and his family were vampires and that he had killed her would be a little too much for them to cope with after losing their only daughter.
"She fell down the stairs" Carlisle said, "We went there to try and help her but by the time we got there, there was nothing we could do."
"What about the bite wounds she's got on her arm?" Rosalie questioned.
"I've sorted that out" He told them, clearly not willing to go into any more detail about it.
"Ok when are we going to tell them?" Alice asked.
"I'll invite her father round tomorrow and I'll tell him," Esme said tiredly, "We'll say that Edward is staying with his grandparents for the time being because he needed some time alone."
No one spoke after this. It had been the first time that anyone had mentions Edward. This time it was Rosalie that broke the silence.
"Did you find him" She asked, with a worried expression on her face.
"Yes" Esme answered, "With a woman. Shed… done something to him"
"What do you mean" Alice asked, trying to get as much information out of her as she could.
"It was like he was in some kind of trance" Carlisle said.
"Why didn't you bring him home," Emmett had joined the conversation now.
"We couldn't" Carlisle replied," we have no idea what that woman is capable of. Edward is going to need all of us to get him out of this one"
Once again silence filled the room, and no one felt like breaking the silence until Alice started to think out loud.
"Her father's going to feel so bad. The last thing she said to him was that she didn't want to be near him"
"What about her mother "Rosalie said, "She hadn't seen Bella for months."
"Stop!" Esme ordered, "This isn't helping the situation."
The rest of the conversation that night was dedicated to thinking of a plan to save Edward. In the early hours of the morning they had come up with something, on which they all agreed. Esme and Carlisle would tell Bella's father about their daughter, While the other four would go in search of this mystery woman.
Rosalie, Alice, Emmett and Jasper set off right away. Jasper still didn't say a word. He was usually quiet but none of them had ever seen him this quiet before.
When they had gone Carlisle and Esme busied themselves in the kitchen, making food they couldn't eat for her father and preparing what they would say to try and soften the blow for him as much as they possible could.
It got to a point where they were prepared for every eventuality. All there was to do now was sit and wait for when it was time to call her father and tell him
