A/N: Sorry for the delay in updates, but having 5 stories on the go caught up with me! :P
Bella:
We run back to Alaska so quickly, scared that the Denali's or the other Cullen's will be harmed. I couldn't bear if anymore of people I considered my family went missing. It was already hard enough that Angela, Ben and possibly Jake were missing.
"Oh good, you're all safe!" I sigh in relief at finding the Cullen's and Denali's all still in the house.
"What happened?" Carmen asks us. We explain all about the newborns, and they're all shocked.
"We definitely from now on have to stay together. With 20 killed, there's still about 60 newborns left to attack us. As a group, we can probably just about win." Jasper finishes off saying.
"Yes. While we're here, we need to work out who is responsible." Carlisle adds.
"I have no idea! Who would hate us this much to do this! And who can be this powerful!" I'm angry, so angry, at whoever is doing this.
"Maybe it's the Volturi?" Eleazar suggests.
"The Volturi? No, by doing this, creating a newborn army, they are breaking their own rules. Besides, they could just come to our homes and take us. No, it's someone weaker than the Volturi." Jasper says. Thank god we have him. Although, I still have no idea how we're going to fight this.
"I'm just gonna go upstairs and get my phone. Laurent might have texted me." Irina says. I've heard recently that Irina thinks Laurent might be her mate. I hope he is; she deserves to have someone after so long.
Irina runs upstairs but still, after 10 minutes, she hasn't come back downstairs.
"I'll go check on her." Tanya says, but Jasper stops her.
"No…I have a bad feeling about this. We all go." So, like a big hoard, we all run up to Irina's room. We find it empty, like most of us presumed.
"How has this happened!? We were just downstairs!" I cry out, feeling my eyes pool with tears.
"I don't know… They must have been really quiet." Jasper comments.
"Surely we can find their scents? Follow where they went?" I ask hopefully.
"And what? Fall into another newborn army trap? I don't think so." Edward says, shaking his head.
"So we don't even try and look for Irina? Who'll be next to go? I'm not sitting by and watching while all my friends and family are taken from me!" I can't bear another person going. Jake, Angela, Ben, Irina, who else?
"No, Edward's right. That newborn army are probably being used here. We need to all stay completely together. Now, does anyone recognise the vampire's scent?" Jasper asks.
"I recognise it…but I don't know whose it is…" Edward mutters, walking around the room as if to get a better idea of the scent.
"Maybe Edward is the key to this? Not Bella." Jasper says, looking confused.
"Someone from my past?" Edward questions.
"Or, someone from both of your pasts." Carlisle suggests.
"That could work. But if it was someone from both of your pasts, it's more likely to be someone from your high school." Jasper tells us both.
We all run downstairs, and Edward and I talk about high school. We try to remember who could hold a grudge against the both of us. Most of the school hated me, so it's more who hates Edward. Of which there are surprisingly few.
"Did you know Mike Newton had a crush on you?" Edward tells me, smiling proudly.
"Oh yeah? He is quite attractive…" I say just to wind Edward up.
"He's too old for you. He'll be over 40 by now. Besides, vampire-human relationships never work." I laugh at Edward, and he raises his eyebrows at me.
"You get jealous so easily!" I say between laughs. It's true, though.
"Whatever. So, any thoughts on who hates us?" Edward asks.
"Maybe Jessica or Lauren? I know they fancied you, so maybe it's jealousy?" I suggest to Edward.
"They fancied me?" Edward grins cockily.
"You made out with Jessica, yet you didn't think she fancied you?" Edward looks ashamed at the fact I caught him kissing Jessica.
"Yeah, I think jealousy is the most likely thing." Edward pulls me into a hug. It's an awkward hug, though, considering we're both sat down. I don't mind it, though.
"But how would they be jealous when we were never an item in high school?" Edward looks away from me. There's something he's not telling me. "What is it, Edward?"
"Uh, you know the email? After you're…death. I said I was really upset. People at school…they picked up on it. And, they realised you were the cause." I hug Edward tighter, because I don't think I've ever really realised how much it hurt him when he thought I was dead. I just thought he was mean all the time, but he actually cared.
"Any ideas, guys?" Emmett asks us, walking over to where we are sat.
"We think it could be Jessica or Lauren, because they're jealous that I chose Bella over them." Edward says.
"That could work. Ok, we'll check if those guys have been reported dead, and, if so, we'll start trying to find them." Jasper and everyone else start using the computers, searching for Jessica Stanley and Lauren Mallory. Hopefully they are who is behind this, and we can find everyone before it's too late.
I just hope no one is killed.
A/N: What do you think of the possible suspects? :O
Review please! :)
