Chapter 5 – Danger

The next day, I explained everything to Alex. He seemed excited about the srediar vampires, and, to my surprise, knew a lot about them. Apparently, they'd come across a problem involving them before. He seemed a little less enthusiastic about the whole saving Edward's (and my) family. But he knew I would not cooperate if this weren't part of the deal, so he kept quiet. In the end, we'd worked out a plan to find them, starting with inspecting the house. We searched for a couple hours but there were absolutely no clues other than what Alice had left me. Then, we investigated all the places they had been without much luck. At the end of the day, we looked discouraged. Alex went home and I stayed with Edward. As soon as he was gone, Edward turned to me.

"I think there's something about him that I don't like. Maybe we should investigate a bit on our own," he suggested suspiciously.

I looked at him for a moment. I didn't think Alex would be hiding anything from us but it didn't hurt to check. I took Edward's hand and led him around the house, each of us examining the landscape for any clues. We did a full turn and came back to our starting point, without having found anything. I turned to Edward with a now what expression. He lifted me up in the air and said, "Now we have fun!"

Alex POV:I went into my laboratory. People were scurrying around, typing on computers, checking on each other every few minutes and nervously fidgeting. They all stopped when I came in, a questioning look in their eyes. I raised my hands and threw them to the side, telling them to get back to their work. I threw a quick look around, then walked to the computer compartment. Between it and the wall was a tiny space, big enough for an average-sized man to squeeze. Once you managed to slither in, a small hallway led you to a hidden door. On it was a sign that said, "private, security only". I opened the door and stepped into my room. The first impression when entering it was that everything was gray and red. The walls were gray, the rugs were gray with red polka dots, the king-sized bed was also gray with red spots. Next to it stood a gray, red-spotted, lava lamp. On the left side, a large window gave a magnificent view on the La Push Beach. Pictures of my family were scattered here and there. It felt warm and full of love. On the right side, test tubes, chemical substances, open books, and papers were scattered on a desk. This was my experience table. I yawned tiredly and walked towards my bed, sprawling out into it. I fell asleep thinking about my next victims.

Bella POV:As we got home from that amazing trip on Edward's back, It started pouring. Of course, I wasn't particularly surprised but I did see, from the corner of my eye, disappointment on Edward's face. I sighed, he was probably thinking of investigating some more. I left his side to go to the bathroom, to fix myself up. I thought of going to the downstairs one but then changed my mind. I never went to the upstairs bathroom, and I felt like I should leave Edward to his thoughts for a while. I took the steps four by four. My curiosity was uncalled for, seeing that it was only a bathroom. Sure, I'd never entered it before but what was so interesting about it? I shook my head and entered it. As soon as I looked at the mirror I gasped. Like last time, something was written on the mirror. Except this time it was blood. I could tell by the smell and the overpowering headache that was coming over me. Probably alerted by my quick breathing, Edward came in abruptly. He was about to come hug me but he stopped short when he saw the message on the mirror, "I will come for you too." In the blink of an eye, he had packed two luggages. He gently lifted me onto his shoulder and took off, faster than ever. I didn't know where we were going but I didn't care. My vision was blurry not just because of the speed but also because I was crying. I was frightened, scared that this horrible person would take Edward away from me. He let me cry, without saying anything. After what seemed like hours, he finally landed, in a very green, dark place. I looked around wondering where we were.

"This is where I went when I first met you," he explained, answering my thoughts. "It's not far from Tanya's family."

"Oh. Are you planning to ask her for help?" I asked.

"Maybe. All I know is I have to keep you – errr us – safe," he muttered squeezing me in an embrace. I cuddled into his chest and fell asleep, wondering if we were the next victims.
