EDWARD CULLEN:
I sat there at the stupid table as everyone kept talking about her. How they're going to help her but were they doing anything? No. No, they weren't and that angered me. I just wanted her back and I wanted her back now! Who knows what that bastard could be doing to her...

"Edward, I know you want to find her but you have to be patient" Carlisle suddenly spoke and I let out a frustrated groan laying my head onto the table.

"How can I be patient when that bastard could be hurting her! She could be dead by now with all the damn time we're wasting!" I snapped and Rosalie rolled her eyes at me.

"I don't see why you care so much?! She's just another human that you're probably going to get pregnant and then leave you taking your kid with you! Edward, don't you see! Maybe she's better off dead" Rosalie spat and I felt as if my blood boiled.

"She's different" I sneered at her and her rolled her eyes.

"And yet, here we are. She doesn't even like you. Get it through your head" she spoke glaring at me.

I took a deep breath and prepared myself for what I was going to say, and then, I said it.

"You of all people should know where she is coming from Rosalie. She's been beaten by her ex and you of all people know how that feels! Now it's been eight hours! Who knows what he could be doing to her right now!" I spat as suddenly she froze. That's when she suddenly broke. Rosalie broke.

"I know it's fucked up but what do you want me to do about it! I do know what it feels like and if I could help her I would but right now we don't know where she is! I'm so goddamn sorry I don't like her! I just don't! I just don't fucking trust anyone anymore except the people in our family! You know that! You also know how much my past kills me every day knowing someone TOOK away everything I had!" she snapped as tears suddenly filled her eyes and spilled down her cheeks.

"I'm leaving" she whispered walking off as Emmett followed.

"I know she means something to you but don't push other people away in the process," he said to me and then walked off.

I stood up in anger as I was suddenly about to dash out the door and look for her myself but before I could do anything before ANYONE could do anything or even say anything there was a knock at the door...

"No one knows where we live..." Esme spoke softly looking at Carlisle who just stood up.

"Esme, you and everyone else go into my study and shut and lock all the windows and doors" he spoke and we all looked at each other.

"What about Rosalie and Emmett?" Esme spoke and suddenly I heard Emmett's thoughts.

"We're safe. We're in the trees. Rosalie is still pissed but we're okay" he thought and quickly I turned to them.

"They're okay. They're in the trees" I spoke and they all nodded.

"Now go" Carlisle spoke and again we all nodded following what he told us to do. We all went into his office locking all the windows and doors and sat there. Waiting.

CARLISLE CULLEN:
I watched as everyone walked away and to my office. I let out a sigh and walked over to the door as they just kept knocking. Whoever it was had apparently somewhere to go...that or whatever they had was dangerous.

Hesitantly I opened the door as I saw a young guy. He looked about...17.

"Is Edward Cullen here?" he spoke in an afraid sort of tone. Why I did not know.

"No he is not but I can leave a message" I spoke and quickly he shook his hand handing me a small box shakily.

I took it and walked away shutting the door. I sat the box down onto the table and opened it seeing a bunch of tapes and a letter...

Once I read it I quickly ran up the stairs and to my office opening the door.

"Edward, you need to see this"
