They emerged one by one from the forest edge, ranging a dozen metersapart. The first male into the clearing fell back immediately, allowingthe other male to take the front, orienting himself around the tall,dark-haired man in a manner that clearly displayed who led the pack. Thethird was a woman; from this distance, all I could see of her was thather hair was a startling shade of red.
They closed ranks before they continued cautiously toward Edward's family, exhibiting the natural respect of a troop of predators2 as itencounters a larger, unfamiliar3 group of its own kind.
As they approached, I could see how different they were from the Cullens.
Their walk was catlike, a gait that seemed constantly on the edge ofshifting into a crouch4. They dressed in the ordinary gear of backpackers:
jeans and casual button-down shirts in heavy, weatherproof fabrics5. Theclothes were frayed6, though, with wear, and they were barefoot. Both menhad cropped hair, but the woman's brilliant orange hair was filled withleaves and debris7 from the woods.
Their sharp eyes carefully took in the more polished, urbane8 stance ofCarlisle, who, flanked by Emmett and Jasper, stepped guardedly forward tomeet them. Without any seeming communication between them, they eachstraightened into a more casual, erect9 bearing.
The man in front was easily the most beautiful, his skin olive-tonedbeneath the typical pallor, his hair a glossy10 black. He was of a mediumbuild, hard-muscled, of course, but nothing next to Emmett's brawn11. Hesmiled an easy smile, exposing a flash of gleaming white teeth.
The woman was wilder, her eyes shifting restlessly between the men facingher, and the loose grouping around me, her chaotic12 hair quivering in theslight breeze. Her posture13 was distinctly feline14. The second male hoveredunobtrusively behind them, slighter than the leader, his light brown hairand regular features both nondescript. His eyes, though completely still,somehow seemed the most vigilant15.
Their eyes were different, too. Not the gold or black I had come toexpect, but a deep burgundy color that was disturbing and sinister16.
The dark-haired man, still smiling, stepped toward Carlisle.
"We thought we heard a game," he said in a relaxed voice with theslightest of French accents. "I'm Laurent, these are Victoria and James."He gestured to the vampires17 beside him.
"I'm Carlisle. This is my family, Emmett and Jasper, Rosalie, Esme andAlice, Edward and Bella." He pointed18 us out in groups, deliberately19 notcalling attention to individuals. I felt a shock when he said my name.
Carlisle matched Laurent's friendly tone. "Actually, we were justfinishing up. But we'd certainly be interested another time. Are youplanning to stay in the area for long?""We're headed north, in fact, but we were curious to see who was in theneighborhood. We haven't run into any company in a long time.""No, this region is usually empty except for us and the occasionalvisitor, like yourselves."The tense atmosphere had slowly subsided21 into a casual conversation; Iguessed that Jasper was using his peculiar22 gift to control the situation.
Carlisle ignored the assumption behind the inquiry24. "The Olympic Rangehere, up and down the Coast Ranges on occasion. We keep a permanentresidence nearby. There's another permanent settlement like ours up nearDenali."Laurent rocked back on his heels slightly.
"Permanent? How do you manage that?" There was honest curiosity in hisvoice.
"Why don't you come back to our home with us and we can talkcomfortably?" Carlisle invited. "It's a rather long story."James and Victoria exchanged a surprised look at the mention of the word "home," but Laurent controlled his expression better.
"That sounds very interesting, and welcome." His smile was genial25. "We'vebeen on the hunt all the way down from Ontario, and we haven't had thechance to clean up in a while." His eyes moved appreciatively overCarlisle's refined appearance.
"Please don't take offense26, but we'd appreciate it if you'd refrain fromhunting in this immediate1 area. We have to stay inconspicuous, youunderstand," Carlisle explained.
"Of course." Laurent nodded. "We certainly won't encroach on yourterritory. We just ate outside of Seattle, anyway," he laughed. A shiverran up my spine27.
"We'll show you the way if you'd like to run with us — Emmett and Alice,you can go with Edward and Bella to get the Jeep," he casually added.
Three things seemed to happen simultaneously28 while Carlisle was speaking.
My hair ruffled29 with the light breeze, Edward stiffened31, and the secondmale, James, suddenly whipped his head around, scrutinizing32 me, hisnostrils flaring34.
A swift rigidity35 fell on all of them as James lurched one step forwardinto a crouch. Edward bared his teeth, crouching36 in defense37, a feralsnarl ripping from his throat.
It was nothing like the playful sounds I'd heard from him this morning;it was the single most menacing thing I had ever heard, and chills ranfrom the crown of my head to the back of my heels.
"What's this?" Laurent exclaimed in open surprise. Neither James norEdward relaxed their aggressive poses. James feinted slightly to theside, and Edward shifted in response.
"She's with us." Carlisle's firm rebuff was directed toward James.
"You brought a snack?" he asked, his expression incredulous as he took aninvoluntary step forward.
Edward snarled40 even more ferociously41, harshly, his lip curling high abovehis glistening42, bared teeth. Laurent stepped back again.
"I said she's with us," Carlisle corrected in a hard voice.
"Yes." Emmett was very much in evidence at Carlisle's side, his eyes onJames. James slowly straightened out of his crouch, but his eyes neverleft me, his nostrils33 still wide. Edward stayed tensed like a lion infront of me.
When Laurent spoke44, his tone was soothing45 — trying to defuse the suddenhostility. "It appears we have a lot to learn about each other.""Indeed." Carlisle's voice was still cool.
"But we'd like to accept your invitation." His eyes flicked46 toward me andback to Carlisle. "And, of course, we will not harm the human girl. Wewon't hunt in your range, as I said."James glanced in disbelief and aggravation47 at Laurent and exchangedanother brief look with Victoria, whose eyes still flickered48 edgily49 fromface to face.
Carlisle measured Laurent's open expression for a moment before he spoke.
"We'll show you the way. Jasper, Rosalie, Esme?" he called. They gatheredtogether, blocking me from view as they converged50. Alice was instantly atmy side, and Emmett fell back slowly, his eyes locked on James as he backed toward us.
This whole time I'd been rooted in place, terrified into absoluteimmobility. Edward had to grip my elbow and pull sharply to break mytrance. Alice and Emmett were close behind us, hiding me. I stumbledalongside Edward, still stunned52 with fear. I couldn't hear if the maingroup had left yet. Edward's impatience53 was almost tangible54 as we movedat human speed to the forest edge.
Once we were into the trees, Edward slung55 me over his back withoutbreaking stride. I gripped as tightly as possible as he took off, theothers close on his heels. I kept my head down, but my eyes, wide withfright, wouldn't close. They plunged56 through the now-black forest likewraiths. The sense of exhilaration that usually seemed to possess Edwardas he ran was completely absent, replaced by a fury that consumed him anddrove him still faster. Even with me on his back, the others trailedbehind.
We reached the Jeep in an impossibly short time, and Edward barely slowedas he flung me in the backseat.
Alice was already in the front seat, and Edward was starting the engine.
Edward was growling59 something too fast for me to understand, but itsounded a lot like a string of profanities.
The jolting60 trip was much worse this time, and the darkness only made itmore frightening. Emmett and Alice both glared out the side windows.
We hit the main road, and though our speed increased, I could see muchbetter where we were going. And we were headed south, away from Forks.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
No one answered. No one even looked at me.
"Dammit, Edward! Where are you taking me?""We have to get you away from here — far away — now." He didn't lookback, his eyes on the road. The speedometer read a hundred and five milesan hour.
"Turn around! You have to take me home!" I shouted. I struggled with thestupid harness, tearing at the straps61.
"Emmett," Edward said grimly.
And Emmett secured my hands in his steely grasp.
"No! Edward! No, you can't do this.""I have to, Bella, now please be quiet.""I won't! You have to take me back — Charlie will call the FBI! They'llbe all over your family — Carlisle and Esme! They'll have to leave, tohide forever!""Calm down, Bella." His voice was cold. "We've been there before.""Not over me, you don't! You're not ruining everything over me!" Istruggled violently, with total futility62.
Alice spoke for the first time. "Edward, pull over."He flashed her a hard look, and then sped up.
"Edward, let's just talk this through.""You don't understand," he roared in frustration63. I'd never heard hisvoice so loud; it was deafening64 in the confines of the Jeep. Thespeedometer neared one hundred and fifteen. "He's a tracker, Alice, didyou see that? He's a tracker!"I felt Emmett stiffen30 next to me, and I wondered at his reaction to theword. It meant something more to the three of them than it did to me; Iwanted to understand, but there was no opening for me to ask.
"Pull over, Edward." Alice's tone was reasonable, but there was a ring ofauthority in it I'd never heard before.
The speedometer inched passed one-twenty.
"Do it, Edward.""Listen to me, Alice. I saw his mind. Tracking is his passion, hisobsession — and he wants her, Alice — her, specifically. He begins thehunt tonight.""He doesn't know where —"He interrupted her. "How long do you think it will take him to cross herscent in town? His plan was already set before the words were out ofLaurent's mouth."I gasped65, knowing where my scent would lead. "Charlie! You can't leavehim there! You can't leave him!" I thrashed against the harness.
"She's right," Alice said.
The car slowed slightly.
The car slowed again, more noticeably, and then suddenly we screeched67 toa stop on the shoulder of the highway. I flew against the harness, andthen slammed back into the seat.
"I'm not leaving Charlie!" I yelled.
He ignored me completely.
"We have to take her back," Emmett finally spoke.
"No." Edward was absolute.
"He's no match for us, Edward. He won't be able to touch her.""He'll wait."Emmett smiled. "I can wait, too.""You didn't see — you don't understand. Once he commits to a hunt, he'sunshakable. We'd have to kill him."Emmett didn't seem upset by the idea. "That's an option.""And the female. She's with him. If it turns into a fight, the leaderwill go with them, too.""There are enough of us.""There's another option," Alice said quietly.
Edward turned on her in fury, his voice a blistering69 snarl38. "There — is —no — other — option!" Emmett and I both stared at him in shock, but Alice seemed unsurprised.
The silence lasted for a long minute as Edward and Alice stared eachother down.
I broke it. "Does anyone want to hear my plan?""No," Edward growled70. Alice glared at him, finally provoked.
"Listen," I pleaded. "You take me back.""No," he interrupted.
I glared at him and continued. "You take me back. I tell my dad I want togo home to Phoenix71. I pack my bags. We wait till this tracker iswatching, and then we run. He'll follow us and leave Charlie alone.
Charlie won't call the FBI on your family. Then you can take me anydamned place you want."They stared at me, stunned.
"It's not a bad idea, really." Emmett's surprise was definitely an insult.
"It might work — and we simply can't leave her father unprotected. Youknow that," Alice said.
Everyone looked at Edward.
"It's too dangerous — I don't want him within a hundred miles of her."Emmett was supremely72 confident. "Edward, he's not getting through us."Alice thought for a minute. "I don't see him attacking. He'll try to waitfor us to leave her alone.""It won't take long for him to realize that's not going to happen.""I demand that you take me home." I tried to sound firm.
Edward pressed his fingers to his temples and squeezed his eyes shut.
"Please," I said in a much smaller voice.
He didn't look up. When he spoke, his voice sounded worn.
"You're leaving tonight, whether the tracker sees or not. You tellCharlie that you can't stand another minute in Forks. Tell him whateverstory works. Pack the first things your hands touch, and then get in yourtruck. I don't care what he says to you. You have fifteen minutes. Do youhear me? Fifteen minutes from the time you cross the doorstep."The Jeep rumbled73 to life, and he spun74 us around, the tires squealing75. Theneedle on the speedometer started to race up the dial.
"Oh, sorry." He let me loose.
A few minutes passed in silence, other than the roar of the engine. ThenEdward spoke again.
"This is how it's going to happen. When we get to the house, if thetracker is not there, I will walk her to the door. Then she has fifteenminutes." He glared at me in the rearview mirror. "Emmett, you take theoutside of the house. Alice, you get the truck. I'll be inside as long asshe is. After she's out, you two can take the Jeep home and tellCarlisle.""No way," Emmett broke in. "I'm with you.""Think it through, Emmett. I don't know how long I'll be gone.""Until we know how far this is going to go, I'm with you." Edward sighed. "If the tracker is there," he continued grimly, "we keepdriving.""We're going to make it there before him," Alice said confidently.
Edward seemed to accept that. Whatever his problem with Alice was, hedidn't doubt her now.
"What are we going to do with the Jeep?" she asked.
His voice had a hard edge. "You're driving it home.""No, I'm not," she said calmly.
The unintelligible77 stream of profanities started again.
"We can't all fit in my truck," I whispered.
Edward didn't appear to hear me.
"I think you should let me go alone," I said even more quietly.
He heard that.
"Bella, please just do this my way, just this once," he said betweenclenched teeth.
"Listen, Charlie's not an imbecile," I protested. "If you're not in towntomorrow, he's going to get suspicious.""That's irrelevant78. We'll make sure he's safe, and that's all thatmatters.""Then what about this tracker? He saw the way you acted tonight. He'sgoing to think you're with me, wherever you are."Emmett looked at me, insultingly surprised again. "Edward, listen toher," he urged. "I think she's right.""Yes, she is," Alice agreed.
"I can't do that." Edward's voice was icy.
"Emmett should stay, too," I continued. "He definitely got an eyeful ofEmmett.""What?" Emmett turned on me.
"You'll get a better crack at him if you stay," Alice agreed.
Edward stared at her incredulously. "You think I should let her go alone?""Of course not," Alice said. "Jasper and I will take her.""I can't do that," Edward repeated, but this time there was a trace ofdefeat in his voice. The logic79 was working on him.
I tried to be persuasive80. "Hang out here for a week —" I saw hisexpression in the mirror and amended81 "— a few days. Let Charlie see youhaven't kidnapped me, and lead this James on a wild-goose chase. Makesure he's completely off my trail. Then come and meet me. Take aroundabout route, of course, and then Jasper and Alice can go home."I could see him beginning to consider it.
"Meet you where?""Phoenix." Of course.
"No. He'll hear that's where you're going," he said impatiently.
"And you'll make it look like that's a ruse82, obviously. He'll know thatwe'll know that he's listening. He'll never believe I'm actually goingwhere I say I am going.""She's diabolical," Emmett chuckled83.
"And if that doesn't work?""There are several million people in Phoenix," I informed him.
"It's not that hard to find a phone book.""I won't go home.""Oh?" he inquired, a dangerous note in his voice.
"I'm quite old enough to get my own place.""Edward, we'll be with her," Alice reminded him.
"What are you going to do in Phoenix?" he asked her scathingly.
"Stay indoors.""I kind of like it." Emmett was thinking about cornering James, no doubt.
"Shut up, Emmett.""Look, if we try to take him down while she's still around, there's amuch better chance that someone will get hurt — she'll get hurt, or youwill, trying to protect her. Now, if we get him alone…" He trailed offwith a slow smile. I was right.
The Jeep was crawling slowly along now as we drove into town. Despite mybrave talk, I could feel the hairs on my arms standing84 up. I thoughtabout Charlie, alone in the house, and tried to be courageous85.
"Bella." Edward's voice was very soft. Alice and Emmett looked out theirwindows. "If you let anything happen to yourself— anything at all — I'm holding you personally responsible. Do you understand that?""Yes," I gulped86.
He turned to Alice.
"Can Jasper handle this?""Give him some credit, Edward. He's been doing very, very well, allthings considered.""Can you handle this?" he asked.
And graceful87 little Alice pulled back her lips in a horrific grimace88 and let loose with a guttural snarl that had me cowering89 against the seat interror.
Edward smiled at her. "But keep your opinions to yourself," he muttered suddenly.
