Chapter 17

Alice P.o.v.

Stupid dogs, why did they have to bother us now? All they are doing is slowing our search down. I haven't gotten a vision since the ship went down. Esme is devastated to the point that we have to remind her to eat. Why can't the wolves understand that we love Bella too? Our only comfort is that Jasper made it off in a lifeboat with Bella.

I glared at the most hostile of the wolves. Jacob Black, Bella's so-called best friend. We were never going to get the wet dog smell out of the house. I scuffed at the whelp's weak attempt at a seething gaze. Even Esme could be scarier.

I sighed closing my eyes in the vain hope for a vision. As usual nothing came of it. Our whole family was a wreck because of this. Emmett wasn't joking for once. He was too upset.

Rose missed Jasper who for all but blood was her brother. She even hated that Bella was missing. I knew that Rosalie cared for her all along. She only wanted her to stay human.

Carlisle worked constantly at a way to find them, short of going to the Volturi for that tracker. Going so far as to take off from his duty as a doctor. Edward was of no help to anyone. He was basically catatonic.

Charlie was heartbroken at the loss of Bella. She was his baby girl. He loved her more than anything. Renee had a mental breakdown, she was on medication to calm herself down and to stop her panic attacks. Phil feared for his wife's health and of course Bella.

My two best friends were missing, I felt incredibly alone. Especially without my precognition. I was angry at myself. How could I have not seen this happening? Something this huge had escaped my sight. It humbled me in the worse way. I would never rely so heavily on my visions again if I ever got them back.

"Bloodsucking witch." Jacob muttered to himself. I snapped. "It's your fault you stupid mutt, if you weren't here, I could get a vision." I shrieked. I knew I was wrong. Something more was messing with my visions, I just didn't know what.

"If it wasn't for you Cullen's, Bella wouldn't be missing let alone lost at sea." He yelled spitefully. A red haze overlapped my sight. My instincts caused me to lunge at my enemy. Emmett's huge frame caught me before I made it halfway to that Idiot Black.

"Stop it, you two." Carlisle spoke sternly. "We all are trying to find our missing family members, there is no need to fight amongst ourselves."

"We will work better together than apart, Jacob." Was spoken by the werewolf alpha.

I forced myself to relax for Carlisle's sake. Just a few weeks, I reminded myself. Just a few weeks before we would start searching by boat. The only thing that dampened that happy thought was the two wolves that would accompany us on our trip.

Black and the Shewolf would be with us. Undoubtedly annoying us all to our second death. Why couldn't the only non-annoying one come with us? At least Seth treated us like people with real feelings.

I went off hunting with Emmett and Rose. "I hate those dogs." Rosalie seethed out. We all agreed with her. "And to top everything off Victoria hasn't appeared since the shipwrecked news came out." The bear loving man commented. "Thanks for the reminder, Em." I voiced sarcastically.

We caught the scent of mountain lions to the west. First to reach would be first to eat. I was the fastest of our trio. I rarely played with my food but I needed to let my aggression out onto something. We headed back home two hours later.

All of our clothes were in a various stage of ruin. I couldn't bring myself to care about my outfit. What was an outfit compared to family? It was nothing. We avoided seeing the wolves by jumping to the second floor windows.

I showered to wash off the grime of my kills. Dressing at vampire speed, I ran downstairs. "I'm going to Charlie's." I spoke not looking at anyone.

"I'll go too, my mom is there." Seth spoke, I nodded. It was common for him to join me. Sue was always at Charlie's. I suspected that she harbored a crush on the police chief.

"Off to see your new step daddy again." I said teasing the wolf boy. His face reddened. "No denial this time." I laughed. We sped away in Carlisle's Mercedes. The sight of Bella's house gave off a gloomy aura. Why did this have to happen? I asked. My heart broke once again. There was no answer.

AN: This is happening at the same time as chapter 16. It's been almost 3 monthes since theyv'e been on the island. By the way I fixed all the previous chapters.
