Somewhere in Northwest Territories, Canada…
Jasper laughed as Alice chased him through the forest. She had been attempting to catch him since he had spooked the Polar Bear she had her sights set on. Alice had been about to pounce on the unaware bear when Jasper had landed on the thin ice, cracking it straight through. Not only had the bear taken off, but the newly formed ice berg had meant both Alice and Jasper wound up going for an unplanned swim. Needless to say his fashionista wife was less than thrilled about that….
Turning South along the Mackenzie River, Jasper thought he had managed to turn the tables on his psychic wife, who had been hell bent on getting her revenge. He had not gone even a mile down the river, when Alice suddenly popped up from the riverbed and tackled him along the bank. Yet, where her strengths laid in her visions, Jasper's was in fighting. The two continued their wrestling along the river's edge. Jasper had finally managed to get the upper hand when Alice suddenly froze and her expression went blank. Without warning she began to fight Jasper's hold in earnest, letting out an ear-splitting scream. Her emotional climate went from playful to absolutely terrified and that truly alarmed him – he had never felt such a reaction from her before.
The effort to calm Alice enough to tell Jasper what she had seen took only a few minutes with the help of his gift, but felt far longer. When she finally did clue him in, her words spiked his own terror, "Jasper, Bella's been shot, we need to call Carlisle!" Freezing in horror, Jasper realized what Alice had already known – their phones had been unprotected in their pockets when they tumbled into the ocean. They would not work. And they had spilt off from the others Friday night, looking to spend some time as a couple. It would be too late before they found the rest of their family – and another phone. Still, this was Bella – they had to try.
"Try your phone Alice," Jasper quickly ordered as he whipped out his own. Sure enough, both were waterlogged and dead.
"We have to find the family Jazz"
"I know honey; can you tell who is closest?"
"We'll find Emmett & Rose near Great Slave Lake, but their phones aren't in any better shape. Seems you boys both played pranks…Esme and Edward are due South of them. I'm not sure where exactly – I don't see any landmarks, but we find them. Edward's phone will work."
Before she had even finished speaking, Jasper had grabbed her by the hand and the two were off the reunite with the remainder of the Cullen hunting party. Alice kept him informed on Bella's situation. By the time they had blown past Emmett and Rose, yelling at them to follow, Carlisle was starting Bella's surgery. They updated their siblings as they searched for their mother and brother. When they finally found the two, they were in Glacier National Park. Alice had continued to keep them updated on the surgery, and Carlisle's beside vigil. It seemed they would be telling Edward the dire news, right when his fragile mate should be awakening. However, it would be late morning before they made it back to Forks. Reminding the others to block their thoughts, Jasper prepared himself to tell Edward all that had transpired…
