"She called."

I handed the phone to jasper hoping he could help with it, I knew he was worrying about Alice. I was too but I needed to find Bella. He looked at my phone and started pressing buttons on it. Soon he found something he wanted tot look at. Looked at me kissed Alice on the forehead and got up from where he was standing.

I followed him into his study but not before I got curious glances from Carlisle and Esme. I knew they were worried and I hated doing this to them. I hated knowing I was causing the family stress but I think they understood more then they would let on.

Jasper sat down and immediately started getting to work, he typed fastly into his computer while looking at the phone, I wanted so much to ask him what e was doing? And if he had found anything? But I didn't want to distract him. Besides he was doing me a favor in the first place. His mind was racing so fast I only caught little spot of what was going on

-Not possible-

-all in the-

-I'll have to try again-

-Alice and-

-Computer to slow-

-doesn't add pp-

-in danger-

"jasper!" I snapped him out of it.

He jumped slightly which wasn't like him, he looked at the phone and the computer next and frowned. "I'm sorry Edward, but I can't really find anything. Whoever Bella got the phone she used really knew how to block t from being tracked. Because I can't find any records of any kind."

"There has to be something-"

Suddenly a knock on the door quieted me, Rosalie was standing in the door way arms crossed over her chest. She looked like she was trying hard to come to terms with something, while also not give to much away. "yes Rose?" Jasper asked.

She sighed and walked a few feet in the room, she turned to look at jasper first. "Alice wants you." Then turned back to me. " we need to talk."

I scrunched my eyebrows together but nodded. As soon as rose had said Alice's name he was gone, leaving me and rose alone. She sighed and sat in a chair to my left. "I have some information you might be interested in."

"And what might that be Rose?"

"well who was the last person who saw Bella?"

I crossed my arms while she played with a strand of her hair and looked me straight in the eyes. She was blocking me in her mind by singing the pussy cat dolls so I moved on from that. "me." I stated

Rose shock her head and got up and walked around the office, "Bella has seen Rachel in the parking lot, the new girl."

"So what Rose?" I wasn't getting everything Rose was trying to hint at.

She sighed and turned to face me from her pacing. "I think that…..Rachel is the one who has Bella. I mean she did tell u that she didn't really like the new girl."

I nodded "Yes."

Rose suddenly looked murderous, she grabbed the hard back chair in the corner and flung it across the room at me. " You asshole, don't you get it? If u find Rachel you find Bella."

I froze, after ducking from the flying chair, it had hit the wall and left a dent in it. I would have to pay jasper back for that later, or at least Rose would have too. "Rachel…..but she's gone from what I know…. Your right rose, she disseappered right around the same time Bella did." I headed for the door. "All I have to do now is figure out how to find her."

Rose caught up to me fast and grabbed my arm, "Me and Emmet will go with you."

I nodded my head, and headed to see Carlisle and Esme to say goodbye. I didn't know how long it would take, we could be gone for days weeks even years, but I wasn't going to give up.

*****10 years later******

It had been 10 years since I had seen her, talked to her, hed her. It was horrible. I was miserable and every time we thought we had found them it was another dead end. I was giving up hope that she was even alive. Rose and Emmett were trying to be patient with me. But I knew they were getting restless. I knew they wanted to go see Jazz. Especially after everything that had happened.

It had just so happened 1 week after we left Alice had never come out of her stage that she was in, she had become so weak from not being able to eat. We didn't think it was possible but one second Jasper could feel her emotions and the next he couldn't. we had lost her. I had went back for a day or two to see my brother and make sure she wasn't gone gone. But when I tried to red her mind there was nothing

The next day we decided that it would be best if we did burn and bury Alice's ashes with her family like she deserved. The day they put her ashes in the ground I didn't stick around, and neither did Jasper. He went to stay with Peter and Charlote. Close friends of his. He couldn't stay around us without remembering her. We were all haunted on what had happened.

Esme and Carlisle at that time were purely devastated to really try to put everyone back together. With Bell gone and as well as Alice. And with Rose, Emmett and I gone trying to find Bella it was hard enough. They didn't even know that Jasper was still alive, he ad only contacted me in luck saying eh hoped I would find Bella. And that he was going to be staying with close friends for the time being.

It hasn't been the same since then I've kept in contact with Carlisle and Esme but they're keeping to themselves these days Rose thinks that they blame themselves for what has happened to the family. And I couldn't guess her wrong on that one. I know they feel responsible for everything but they're not.

Now since it's been so long I'm close to giving up, Rose thinks that if Rachel had really needed her she would have killed her by now. I'm trying to stay positive but it's hard when the unknown is still out there, and I was never able to trace the call. I had called the phone back several times but it never connected. I'm not saying I could move on, but we had literally searched every where and followed every lead we could find to no avail.

Rose and Emmett told me they would help for one more day, but after that they were going to head to Italy for some time to themselves. I didn't blame them, I wasn't really the best company in the world. And I had to except that….i might never find here.

I took a step into the house that we were using as base for where we were at the moment. I looked around and decided to make this last day the best, Emmett and Rose I could hear in the bedroom packing there things for Italy. They were leaving tonight.

I walked to my room gathering my belongings to head home, I couldn't go to the Volturi to kill me. I couldn't do that to my family, that would be too much for them right now. I had to be there for them.

Grabbing the bag once it was full I headed for the door. Stopping looking around for anything I could've forgotten and headed to take it out to my Volvo. I sighed opening the care door and stilling getting a small wiff of her scent. I don't know how through all the years her scent had stayed but it had.

Rose and Emmett soon appeared and we packed our stuff and headed on our last lead we had found, Virginia beach.

An hour later we were close and ready to head around town, we were looking for her scent, anything that was familiar. I headed in the direction of the school and some houses while Emmett and rose searched more of the town and the woods nearby.

As I walked closer to the school I smelled something…but it didn't really smell like Bella….it was confusing even for me….what was that? I walked around the high school and contemplated….where ad I smelled that before.

Then I got a flash of the new student 10 years ago… "Rachel."

I zoomed into the main office and starred down at the secretary. She looked up shocked for a second then adjusted her glasses and smiled. "Can I help you young man."

"Is there a girl that goes by the name Rachel Hart here?"

The secretary quickly typed into her computer and scrolled. Looked at a paper on her desk then back at the computer. I began to tape my fingers impatiently. How could humans take so much time, didn't they know people had things that needed to e done. They couldn't just be quick about things?

She looked up and shook her head. "No theses is not sir."

I leaned forward toward her, "Are there any Rachel's that go here?"

She took her glasses off and stared at me "I'm sorry sir but I don't think I can help you. Now if you don't leave I'll ask someone to escort you out."

I growled under my breath and left the office, deciding to wait till the school got out, which shouldn't be to long now.

I laughed at the face Bella or otherwise known as Izzy was making. She crinkled her nose and eyebrows together as she smelled the garlic sauce across from her on Katie's plate. She knew that we could eat human but there were some food that we still didn't like, we didn't exactly have to eat but it made us stronger, as did some blood here and there.

Izzy and I usually had our amount of blood at home where stocked it from a friend of mine that was around that worked at a blood bank. She knew that I was friends with a lot of powerful people but this weekend she would find out about the volturi and i. it was time and she was ready. She had almost mastered her power and was ready to take on assignments like me. Aro would be so proud of me.

I loved Lunch, it was when Izzy and I could really act like the teenagers that we were. We were like sisters now, more then I thought we could ever be. I loved being this close to her. We shred everything….even a few kisses when we got drunk. Never sex, that was too much for us. But I'm not saying we hadn't seen each other naked. It happens sometimes when you only have 1 bathroom in an apartment.

I hated that I might lose some of her respect bringing the Volturi up now after so long but I had to wait for her to be ready. She had tob e sure of her path and right now I knew she was. She was destined to marry Felix back that castle in the future anyway. Aro had arranged it and Felix was more then ready to meet her and I knew Izzy would be happy with him. Aro would take me in his arms and I would finally be his.

A he had promised I would be his, I loved Aro, I had grown to love him, at first I hated him for everything, just like Izzy had me but once you grow accustomed to the person providing for you just grew up and took everything in a more positive way. Which lead to love for me, I unconditionally loved Aro Volturi.

And Izzy would grow to love Felix, he was a great guy, and he would love and protect her. She would be his perfect mate in time and we would just as powerful as ever, and that was what we all wanted. And Izzy completed everything for us. We were a family more then ever now.

We were scheduled to leave for Volterra soon, within the next few days, we had been staying in London hoping to have some fun shopping before things got to hectic when we went and saw Aro and before Izzy and Felix started getting to know each other, some true girl time.

Katie laughed and sat back in her seat, she was one of us as well, Aro had turned her a few weeks after I was, but she had already been promised to another so I was not worried that she would take Aro away from me.

She had been in an abusive home and Aro had seen that one one of his many thought expeditions through one of his victim's. He found out that the girl was special and went in search for her and made her one of us.

Katie knew everything, so she was here to help me with Izzy, while Izzy thought she was just an old friend. She hadn't noticed yet that she was just like us, she wasn't advanced enough to know.

Being back in school in London was different, there were things we weren't used to and we had already had caught onto the accent which Izzy thought was hilarious. It was a good thing that we didn't eat regular school food, because right now it looked pretty gross. Izzy's reaction was right. But Katie and I had our reactions better. Izzy would figure it out one day.

"So, Izzy. Do you like London?" Katie asked Izzy while drinking a bottle of water, sipping was more like it.

Izzy took a small bite of her salad to keep up the façade. "Well it's nice, you can never be to picky."

I sat forward and put my elbows on the table which tucking my chin into my clasped hands. "So do you want to move?"

Izzy stopped mid sip of her water. "I didn't say that."

"Well that's what it sounded like."

"Rachel you say I take things to seriously when you are the one saying this. I don't care if we move. We are doing just fine here but if you would like to leave that would be fine." Izzy glared at me, not happy that I was second guessing her. She got like this, aggravated so easily. I had a hunch to why as well…

"Hey, she didn't mean it like that Izzy. She was just giving you the option that it would be more then okay to move if it was something you would want to do." Katie came to my defense.

I sighed and sat back in my seat, taking a small sip of my water, wishing it was a damn blood bag instead. Water was fine but blood had more of a taste to it. Water just was something, it wasn't a choice I wanted but we couldn't just bring blood to school, for obvious reasons.

Izzy sighed and bowed her head, I'm guessing counting to three and then looking up, sending me a message through her shield. "I'm sorry I'm so cranky. I seem to be all the time… I just miss…" She slouched farther in her seat knowing she would get a lecture from me.

She wasn't aloud to miss them, she wasn't aloud to think about them, if she hung onto them more then ever would she be in danger. Of Aro and of Felix who was a possessive shit head. I knew that, he had already started cal

ling Izzy his Isabella. From what Aro had been telling me. And I was happy for Felix but I was scared for Izzy and to see what would happen if she mentioned them in any way.

I waited till Izzy looked up at me, it took her a few minutes but she finally did. "Look, Izzy I can't say it enough, they aren't part of your life anymore. Forget about them, trust me it's for the best."

Tears started to come to her eyes. "I…I'm just having a hard time Rach."

I scooted my chair closer to hers and hugged her from the side, wrapping my arms around her and kissing her head to comfort her. Izzy was sensitive, she always would be, and I couldn't false her for that because it could be a good quality. But it could really get her into trouble right now.

And I didn't care if people stared, if they assumed we were lovers, because it didn't matter. We were sister's. In all senses that we could be, even in blood now. After she had drunk the elixir she had been binned to me since my blood was in there as well.

I would protect her no matter what, because we shared a bond that nobody could brake. In the beginning when we had first met on the track, from the very beginning everything was about her, being mean to her, was for her own good. And look where we are now. Best friends, sisters and happy with our lives, for the most part that is.

I looked at Katie and decided now was better then ever to tell her, we had a few minutes left for lunch. Maybe not enough time but we would have to chance it. "The reason I brought up the subject of leaving Izzy is because… we are leaving."

Her head shot straight up from it's downward state After she had looked at me she had put her head down to shoot it right back up at my statement. "What?"

Katie smilled and reached for Izzy's hand "What Rachel is trying to say is that there are some things she needs to settle and they can't be done here, we need to go to Volterra."

Izzy's eyes were wide. "Volterra?..."

I took her other hand and squeezed. "I know you know what Volterra is."

She blanched. "How?... How do you know what it is?"

I smiled and looked at Katie, it was now or never. "Well, we live there. All three of us now."

She frowned and looked back in forth between the two of us and then burst out laughing. "This is some kind of sick joke right?"

Katie and I frowned, we hadn't known what to expect but we weren't really considering the option of laughing histarically. More along the lines of her being quiet or screaming bloody murder, not laughing.

I got up from the table, hearing the bell ring behind us signaling that lunch was over but grabbing izzy by the hand and yanking her out of her seat and leading her toward the parking lot. This was not the place to continue I could feel it, and it wouldn't matter if we ditched we'd be leaving soon.

Katie reading my mind and seeing what my plan was and got up to follow us out of the cafeteria, keeping an eye out for anyone who might stop us. She walked a few steps behind but kept up fine.

Katie had thankfully taken on mind reading, which Izzy said annoyed the crap out of her because one of them had been able to do it too so she didn't like the idea. Though she didn't have to deal with it since she had her shield to keep her thoughts protected.

Izzy wasn't struggling on my hold on her hand but she would still giggle sporadically out of no where. I was very concerned on what was running through her head, Katie had shook her head at me to say she was shielding her thoughts. I wasn't very surprised about that, when she was like this she hut down, I had only seen her like this a few times though, so I wasn't sure what to make of it just yet.

We needed to figure things out, she needed to understand that this would be a good thing. For her mostly. When we stepped outside I smelled a familiar scent but I didn't pay as much attention to it as I should have.

We walked hurriedly through the bigger then should be high school parking lot, halfway to the car, Izzy straightened up and stopped giggling getting all serious.

We stopped and I tried to sense what she was sensing and then I saw what she was seeing,

One of THEM was here

Edward Fucking Cullen

Author's note: pleaseeeeeee don't kill me for taking sooooooo long to update, I know I know almost two years, and this chapter is very short but it was the best amount I could do in the time I had a computer that I could use other then for my school work. Which has really sucked. But it took me 3 weeks to get this together without any interruptions and I had to scream at myself FINALLY! Haha and I'm so glad I was able to update, I still have the whole plot of this story and my other story and I keep trying to write them out but every time I do the pepers either get lost or thrown out and….it's so hard to work up the confidence to keep rewriting tings sometimes but these stories are mybabies and I am so happy that i can share them with you.

I hope I haven't lost too many reader's but I hope to try better now that summer breaking is coming up, but I'm ganna be pretty busy away from my computer and technology in general, except for my phone which sadly is not an iPhone. So I can't do much from it. I;m hoping to get an iPhone soon and maybe a IPad as well so hopefully maybe I can kinda work from that though I have never tried or heard of anything special on them, I am wayyyyyyyy behind in technology.

Sorry about the cliffy and again the short chapter but it's all o had time for, and all questions are welcome, if I can have time if people review I might be able to conjure something up from the next chapter that I can HOPEFULLY start writing soon before I get too busy, cross your fingers I guess.

Well until next time fellow readers, sorry again
