"Emmett!" I cried, pushing myself off of the floor and into his arms.
"Bella." He breathed, crushing me to his chest with nearly all his strength, lifting me off the ground. To be quite honest, it kind of hurt a little, but I could care less right now.
I pulled away from him. "What are you doing here?" I asked curiously.
"I found a random trail in the meadow you and Edward used to go to, and I followed it here. I heard the lady when I came, so I waited until she left. Where's Edward and Alice at?" he finally asked.
"Oh, Edward's just-"I paused, looking up at him wide-eyed. "Wait…Alice is missing too?" I asked.
He nodded. "Yeah, it was the weirdest thing. Yesterday morning she said she would be right back, but never came home. I don't know what exactly went down, but I know it was in that damn meadow. That's where I found your trail, and decided to follow it while Jasper tried searching for Alice's scent."
I groaned. "Oh God, Hazel has her." I whispered.
"Hazel?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.
I nodded. "She's the vampire that sent Edward and I to a different dimension." I shook my head, remembering. "It was horrible, Emmett. Everything was so different. You, Rose, Jazz, Alice, were all dead. Edward and I were never together, I was dating Jacob. It was so messed up." I whispered.
His brow furrowed, and he looked confused. "Different dimension?" he asked and I nodded.
"She creates dimensions and can send people there. She wants me to do some killing mission with her and says that if I do, she will put Edward and I back in the correct dimension, and she will leave us alone. And if I don't, Edward will be stuck in the wrong dimension forever, and now so will Alice, apparently." I sighed, closing my eyes.
"Where did she go?" he asked, looking around the empty warehouse.
I shrugged. "Who knows?"
"Do you know how long she will be gone?" he asked.
I shook my head. "Last time it took her three days to come back." I said in a monotonous voice.
He tugged on my hand. "Then let's go." he suggested, and my brow furrowed, so he elaborated. "Come back to the house for a few hours, let everyone know what's happening. We can make a plan, and then we can settle this once and for all."
"No." I whispered. "I can't. She'll get angry. And she told me to stay here."
"Why are you so scared of her, Bella? If we're all together, then she can't hurt you." He scoffed.
"She said she'd send Renesmee to a hell dimension if I tried to escape." I felt my eyes water, but I knew the tears would never spill over. "I can't risk it. If she comes back, and I'm not here." I shook my head.
He pulled my hand again. "We won't let that happen. Now, come on. If we get going, you can get back before she does." I reluctantly let him pull me out the door of the warehouse. "Your going to have make more of an effort to come with me than that, Bella." He sighed.
I took a deep breath and bobbed my head up and down, and we took off. We ran all the way home without stopping once, and it took us nearly half an hour. When we finally approached the house, Emmett halted, but I kept going.
On the way here, all I could think of was my baby girl. I had to see her.
I flew into the house, leaving the door ajar and sprinted into the living room. I spotted her on the couch and flung myself in that direction, scooping her into my arms and hugging her to me as tight as I could without crushing her body. I planted several small pecks all over her face.
After a moment, she realized it was me and flung her arms around my neck, holding on with all of her strength. I noticed when we had attracted an audience, but no one dared to interrupt this moment. They were smart.
After I kissed every single inch of her tiny face, I placed my lips right at her ear. "I love you, so much. I'm so sorry I haven't been here." I whispered, closing my eyes tightly.
"Where did you go?" she whispered, pulling back to look into my eyes, but kept her arms around my neck.
"We'll talk about it later, okay?"
She nodded, and then looked around. "Where's Daddy?"
I closed my eyes tightly and swallowed the huge lump that rose in my throat. "He's still gone. He'll come back in a little while though." I choked the words out, trying to push all thoughts of him out of my head. It hurt too much.
"Why did you guys leave me?" she whispered, moisture starting to build in her eyes.
I shook my head quickly. "Shh, no baby." I wiped the lone tear that rolled down her cheek away. "Please don't cry." I pleaded. "It wasn't like that."
"But you didn't even say goodbye." She buried her face into my neck and I stroked her curls soothingly.
"We couldn't. We didn't know what was happening." I turned to face my family. "I think I should tell you all what happened." I whispered.

"…And then Emmett found me." I finished.
We had all sat down in the living room while telling my story. Renesmee was lying in my lap, her head on my chest and absentmindedly playing with a lock of my hair.
Carlisle halted his pacing around the room and looked at me. "We need to make a plan. I can get in contact with Sadie and Ava, try to learn as much as I can about her powers." He offered and I nodded.
Jasper turned to me from his spot on the couch on the side of me. "What do you think we should do, Bella?" he asked.
"Well, here's what I was thinking…"

"Do you smell that?" I asked, lifting my head from the buck I was drinking and felt my lips tug up to grin wickedly at Alice.
"Mountain lion." We said in union.
We both shot in that direction at the same moment, running eagerly towards our prey. I got there before she did, and quickly jumped the larger one. We drained both the male and female in only seconds.
"Yum." She hummed as she straightened up from her hunting crouch.
I laughed, hunting with Alice was always fun. I had missed spending time with my sister. But between being a newly wed, new father, having the Volturi attack, and then being sent to a different dimension, there hadn't been a whole lot of time to be together.
"I miss this." I said.
"Hmm?" she asked as we started walking.
I sighed. "I miss just hanging out with you. Everything within the past year has just been crazy. We haven't spent barely any time together."
She nodded in agreement. "You're right. You know, this may be good for us. Being stuck here together. Although you'll probably be sick of me by the time we get out of here." She teased.
"Yeah, probably." I jokingly agreed.
She smacked my arm lightly and stuck her tongue out at me. "Oh yes, that wasn't childish at all, Alice." I said sarcastically. She rolled her eyes at me, but said nothing more.
I reached out and took her hand, lacing our fingers together. It was nothing romantic, it was just the way we always were with each other.
"So what do you think Bella's big mission is?" she asked, staring straight ahead at the forest as we walked.
I shrugged. "Who knows? I just hope Hazel doesn't force Bella into doing something she doesn't want to do."
"Me too." She sighed.
Suddenly she stopped, pulling me to a stop as well. Her eyes glazed over slightly, and I peered into her thoughts, trying to get a glimpse of the vision she was having.
It was of Bella, and our family…together. They were sitting in the living room, except for Carlise who was standing, but we couldn't hear what was being said. Renesmee was lying in Bella's lap. Jasper had his arm around Bella's shoulder and they were both grinning like idiots.
The vision ended abruptly, and Alice turned to look at me. "What the hell was that?" she asked.
"I don't know."
In her eyes and thoughts I could tell she felt hurt when seeing this. "They looked so…happy." She whispered. "You don't think that….they've moved on….do you?"
"You're being absurd, Alice." I lied, that's exactly what it looked like from her vision, but I refused to believe it. "They wouldn't do that." I stated quietly.
She shook her head. "I don't know what I was thinking, I just figured they'd look a little less overjoyed when we weren't around." She muttered.
"Bella wouldn't just move on, and neither would Jasper. Never doubt that." I slung my arm around her shoulder as I began walking again.
No, they did not move on. They couldn't have.
