Author Notes: Hello, everyone! How are you? I'm doing well. So far, this is the third week of me posting regular updates with this story. My intention is to have regular updates for this story. My plan is to have this solely on Bella's point of view so that should avoid confusion like Facing the Past.

I'm doing well on my Scentsy business too. I'm getting good at it so I'm excited on what the future would bring to my new business too. So far, I've been part of the top 10 in sales for the past couple of months. Let's see if I'll make it to the third month in a row. Wish me luck!

Chapter 7: In Search of the Wolves

Alice, Edward, Jasper, and I spent 3 more days in their house. They took turns going out for food. One day, Edward and Jasper were gone. Alice was the only one with me. I was teaching her some moves. Then, she froze.

Something changed in her, she was in a panic. She was crying. I called Jasper and Edward as I was starting to get worried.

It took Jasper fifteen minutes to get to where we were.

"Where's Edward?" I asked him.

"He's driving the Porsche. We were one hour away by driving when you called," Jasper explained. He then looked at his wife. "What did you see?"

"The Volturi. They're going to take me and Jasper away. They want us as part of their collection. If we didn't join them, they'll kill Carlisle and Esme. We need to protect Edward. They want him too," Alice explained.

Jasper held his wife. It took her a minute but she calmed down instantly.

"Are you okay now?" Jasper asked.

"I am. Thank you, Jasper," she said.

"How long will it take them to get here?" Jasper asked.

"Two days at most," Alice said.

"We need to come up with a plan. However, we can't have Bella with us," Jasper said.

Alice nodded. "Bella, think about coming with us," Alice said.

I did. In that instant, I saw the pain on her face. Edward winced as if he's experiencing the same pain.

"You understand that she can't come with us," Alice said. "You have to promise me that you'll protect her. She'll be one of us. She is your mate. You need to protect her."

I shook my head. Edward isn't my mate. He's someone I'd rather kill if I wasn't indebted to him already. Having him as my mate is pushing it.

Edward shook his head. "I'll protect your pet for you. However, saying she's my mate is too much."

Alice looked at Edward and his face softened. "You see what's in my vision. She will be your mate but only if you protect her."

Edward shook his head. "I'll take care of your pet. Now, go!"

A blur moved around the house. Then, they paused to say goodbye for a moment and then they were gone.

"Where are Alice and Jasper going?" I asked.

"I don't know. They haven't decided yet," he said.

It finally hit me. "So, Alice can see the future. And you can read minds?" I asked.

"Yes," he answered. "We need to leave too."

"Where are we going?" I asked. I was thinking the wolves.

"I don't know yet but we can't stay here," Edward said.

"The wolves. I need to tell them," I told Edward.

"Call them," Edward said.

I reached for the phone. I dialed Jacob's phone number-he's family. Jacob answered on the first ring.

"Hello!"

"Jacob?"

"There's no Jacob here. You dialed the wrong number." Jacob hanged up.

There were so many things he said in that one sentence. It made me cry.

"Bella, are you okay?" Edward asked.

I shook my head. "No. That's Jacob and he just told me it's not safe there. What he said was our help code. I need to gather the other wolves. They can help us," I said.

Edward shook his head. "Alice, what have you done?"

I knew where we needed to go. Jacob and the other wolves were in trouble. I needed to get help from the other wolves.

"We need to go find the other wolves. That's the only way to protect the Cullen coven and me," I said.

I prayed to God to take care of the situation. I might not have given God much thought before, but if He really does exists, now was the time for Him to show His hands.

End Notes: So, what do you think about Alice and Jasper needing to leave Bella to Edward's care? Edward loves Alice like a sister and thinks that Bella is Alice's pet. In a way, Bella is like a pet cow or a pet pig-she's actually a vampire food source. Bella and Edward will try to find other wolves in order to help Bella's family. In turn, it should help the Cullens with their problem about harboring Bella-they're going to need some help.
