ALICE

I can't believe we finally found Bella! And when we weren't even trying to! I wonder who she's with. Once the flames vanish the Bella and her friend take care of Demetri's trainees. Bella can kill vampires? Wow, she is strong and sends off confidence like she has come into her own. I wonder why I didn't see this in our future. Finally she turns…her eyes narrow at Edward…SHIT! Edward is holding Tanya. I knew she would try stuff on this trip, but honestly. I can't blame Edward for his outburst. I want to yell at her too. When will we see Bella again? Ever?

ROSALIE

Shit. Tanya is clinging to Edward. Edward, like the pain that he is, is holding Tanya. Bella sees it. Then she is gone. No scent, no trail of any kind to follow. I hope Edward doesn't relapse into his previous state of wallowing. Does he not know how annoying that is? Edward is now yelling at Tanya. I might 'accidentally' take off her arm the next time we spar. She should count herself lucky if she only loses an arm this time.

ESME

Oh my…I know Edward feels that he should always be a gentleman, but I would have thought that he would also realize how this looks. Bella's eyes narrow at him as she comes to the very obvious looking conclusion. Bella vanishes as quickly as she came into the clearing. Edward starts yelling at Tanya. He can't seriously think that only she is to blame for this mess, right? Sure, she is a little forward towards him, but Edward was the one who put his arms around her. I'll have to speak with him later about his dreadful behavior.

JASPER

I can't feel them, any of the three girls. It's like they aren't even here. And they can kill vampires. Well, Bella and the one can. I think the girl in the tree is a recent addition to their group. Demetri and the other two vampires were completely terrified, well Demetri still is. That one girl took off his arm with what looks like a sword with decorative purple lines on the blade. It must be a special kind of sword to inflict damage on a vampire. I can't hear a heartbeat from any of the girls either. That is strange. They look like they have blood circulating…

Shit! Edward once more proves that he is an idiot. I mean seriously, why would he encourage Tanya? Not only is he holding her, but Bella sees them looking like they are together. Of course he is surprised when they all vanish. Alice is confused. I wonder why she didn't see this happening. There is no way to track Bella. She didn't leave a trail of any kind, not even her scent. Even if we could follow her, should we? She acts like she's grown a lot and she seems attached to the girl with the sword. If her life is on track, should we even try to interfere?

EMMETT

Damn…Bella just took out a vampire. I'll have to be careful about how much I tease her when we are all together again. I didn't even notice the girl in the tree before she spoke. Come on Bella, look this way. Oh yeah, her head is turning and…SHIT! Edward, you ass, don't be a player. Tanya is way too irritating to be your girl. Rose might kill her. I would think the same thing if I were Bella. How did she just disappear? Oh well, we can just track her…or not. Where's her scent? It was so strong before.

It serves Tanya right. Her meddling might cost us Bella. She seemed to have grown into her own, calm even. It was like she was in her element. If Edward hits Tanya, Esme and Carlisle will be pissed. Tanya's sisters already look pissed.

CARLISLE

Bella certainly has become powerful in her own right. Maybe that will convince my son of his folly in leaving her. Her friends present an unforeseen factor in making our family whole again. I can't believe we didn't think about her making a new life and possibly becoming part of a family of sorts. It's not like she would just wander around alone and consumed with her grief over Edward. She seemed to be in here element. Maybe going after her isn't what's best for her anymore. We will have to discuss these new developments as a family.

Why is Bella looking at Edward that way? Oh…I see…not the brightest move son. I'm sure Tanya needs comforting after just witnessing the ease in which Bella and one of her companions snuffed those vampires out of existence, but to hold her like that implies that you chose her. No wonder Bella and those other girls are gone, literally without a trace. I wonder when the next time our paths will cross again.

I can't believe Edward is denying his own responsibility in this mess. He is upsetting Esme with his unruly behavior. I can see we will need to have a chat about this as well. Tanya might have been forward, but Edward did not stop her. I know he is just lashing out. I think it's time that all the facts are known to the entire family, not just Edward. He might not want to talk about the day he left Bella, but we need to know. Bella could still react towards any of us based on what Edward said to her that day. We need to be prepared for such a reaction.

ALICE

I see a family discussion. Okay, looking at Carlisle I don't need the vision to tell me that. I see Edward…fabulously reacting to something. I should give Jasper the heads up so that he is prepared to deal with it before things get out of hand. Let's try for a vision about Bella…nope, nothing. I still can't see her. More worrisome is that I can't see us with her. It's like we continue our lives and she never enters them again. I need to think.

Maybe it has to do with whatever Bella is now. In my vision where we run into Demetri, he asks Edward, Jazz, and I to join the Elite Guard. He had both arms in that vision. But I am looking at one of his arms in the clearing. Suddenly it bursts into violet flames and a strong wind takes away all three piles of ashes. Hmmm…I am still seeing two arms when we run into him again. I wonder if I only see things the way that they would be if Bella and her friends don't interfere. I only see things the way they would be if Bella and her friends didn't exist. That would only make sense if they are some kind of immortals. I can't see werewolves, Caius asked me to try once. I can't see those tribe members that transform into horse sized wolves back in Washington, Carlisle asked me to try. With the tribe members, if they got too close I couldn't see anything at all. I've never been close enough to a real werewolf to see if they affect my visions. It would seem that different kinds of immortals affect my ability to have visions in different ways. They have to be immortals, but what kind of immortals are they? If Bella is immortal, then that means that Edward doesn't have to watch her change in order to be with her forever. That is, if she takes him back.
