Okay, so before I get started, I want to tell you all how sad some of you make me feel *cries* I get loads of readers but only a handfull of reviewers :'( Reviews make me update faster and since school is out for the summer (YAY) I can really update that much faster! So the more reviews, the faster the chapters!

Nessie: Storm

I didn't want to leave. Alice and Jacob said it was for the best, mom and dad said the same, but I knew that none of us truly wanted to leave. So we made a compromise: we would stay in Sacramento until the end of the rainy season, but we were changing schools.

I woke up around three in the morning due to having gone to bed a eight. I wasn't tired enough to go back to bed so I got up and went downstairs. It was two and a half days since we had left Rancho Charter School and Ally, and we were going to start at Rosemont High on Monday.

I came downstairs to find mom, dad, Alice, and Carlisle just sitting around and talking.

Carlisle looked up. "Hey, Nessie, is something wrong?"

"No I'm fine, I just woke up a little early. I'm not tired anymore."

"Come and join us then," he invited, patting the spot next to him, I sat. "Alice was just telling us that Benjamin is in the area and recently decided to pay us a visit. You remember Benjamin don't you?"

"Wasn't he one of the Egyptian vampires that helped us out when I was a baby?"

"Yes he was," dad smiled at my recall. "he was the one who could manipulate the elements."

"Oh, yeah, I remember."

"Oh no!" Alice suddenly cried, eyes blank.

"What?" we all asked urgently.

"He disappeared!" Alice wailed. "He was out hunting in the city, turned down an alley and vanished!"

"Should we go look for him?" mom asked.

"Wait a moment, Bella," said Carlisle. "Jacob is out isn't he?"

I listened for his heart beat and heard only my own. Jake wasn't in the house.

"He may have only met Jacob and that's why Alice can't see him," dad said logically

"But if Jacob met him while hunting, doesn't that put him in danger?" I asked. "Both of them."

"I'm sure they'll be fine," Carlisle soothed. "Jacob is sure to recognize Benjamin and explain to him that he can't hunt here."

"He's not with Jacob," dad said suddenly, looking towards the East. I could tell people were coming and he could here their thoughts.

Dad got up suddenly and zipped to the door, mom, Alice, and Carlisle on his heels. I got up quickly and ran after them.

We stood outside in the cold and waited. The rain had finally stopped so it wasn't long before I could hear the faint sounds of a vampire running through the woods, but that's not all I could hear. Very loud in comparison to the soft footfalls, was a far-too-familiar heartbeat.

Benjamin suddenly burst from the tree line with a human on his back. The human in question lifted her head, light brown hair falling in front of thick, oval glasses, behind which, wide hazel eyes stared directly at me.

Ally!

"Nessie!" she cried and clambered off of Benjamin's back, stumbling when she hit the ground.

Was it my imagination, or did the ground shake when she stumbled? I couldn't dwell on that thought very long because I suddenly found a sobbing Ally in my arms, hugging me tightly.

I didn't feel the same draw for her blood as I had before, in fact, she fairly reeked.

"Ally, you stink! What have you been doing?"

Ally opened her mouth to answer but Benjamin cut across her. "So you did loose your human. I found her sleeping in an alley downtown."

"You didn't kill her," Alice observed sounding quite surprised, quite uncommon for Alice. Ally stiffened in my arms at Alice's comment and I held her protectively.

"She knew what I was and I wondered how she could, so I asked her. Then she told me about you guys. I didn't think you would appreciate it if I ate your friend."

The ground shook violently and Ally clung to me tighter.

"Are you doing that?" I asked Benjamin accusingly.

"I'm not, I don't know what it is either. The elements are suddenly going haywire and I can't see the cause. So far it's been Air and Earth, but I shudder to thing that Fire may be next."

We all shuddered at the idea. Few things could harm a vampire, fire was one of them.

A wind picked up suddenly, pushing the recently silent storm clouds into a frenzy again. Lightning cracked and thunder boomed and rain began to fall heavy and fast.

"And here comes Water!" Benjamin called over another thunderclap.

"We should get Ally inside," said Carlisle.

Ally didn't seem willing to move on her own so I scooped her into my arms. She cried out and clung to me harder and the ground shook below my feet. I ran quickly into the house and deposited her safely onto the couch. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder and hugged her to me, trying to warm her.

As if in sync with the weather, when Ally calmed down, the rain outside stopped.
