THE PACK WAS ON A MISSION FOR THE RED HEADED VAMPIRE. Ever since the journey to the clearing that Zuri and Bella took Charlie, Harry and their friends were out in the woods searching for the "bear."

The wolves were now running through the woods. Trying to catch the vampire.

Ty and Zuri were walking out the arcade. Zuri was smiling at Ty had won a bunch of tickets to get her a huge teddy bear. She was so thankful and had been enjoying the time they've been able to spend together. As they were walking to the car Zuri felt something in her throat and her chest began to feel hallow. Ty took noticed and turned to her with worried eyes.

"Tiny, what's wrong?" He asked.

Zuri couldn't answer. She began to hear growls and hissing before she couldn't take it anymore and she screamed. Ty covered his ears as car alarms went off, and windows busted with glass flying everywhere. As Zuri's scream died down she took a deep breath and looked around. She had never felt like that before but she felt a whole lot better.

"What the hell was that Zuri?" Ty asked concerned.

"Someone's dead Ty."

Ty pushed her into the car and drove them back to her house. As soon as the duo walked into the door Xavier came rushing to them. "Was that you?" He asked immediately.

Zuri didn't answer as she was still shaking from the even that just took place. "Zuri?" He asked once more.

"What the hell is going on?" Ty asked.

"Harry's dead." Zuri cried.

Xavier looked at Ty and sighed. "Take her to her room. Just let her relax." Xavier spoke nonchalantly. As Ty took Zuri to her room he immeadiately called their dad to tell him what happened.

As everyone had heard the news about Harry, Jake had gone to beach after smelling the scent of Bella and rushing in after her to save herself. As Xavier pulled up to the Clearwater's Sean rushed over to his son.

"Was that Zuri?"

Xavier nodded. Paul looked over with concern. "She knew dad."

Sean nodded sadly. Sam had came out the house and announced how Leah and Seth had both changed.

"So young?" Xavier asked.

Sean nodded.

Zack and Embry were sitting over on the wooden steps and Xavier smiled seeing his brother happy.

He too hoped to find his imprint one day. 

As the rest of the day went on, the pack plus Sue began the preparation for Harry's home going.

As every Thompson was there mouse Zuri she went over to Bella's. As Ty pulled up at the Sea residence she noticed Jake's truck parked outside. As Ty and Zuri went to answer the door Bella opened it in her damp clothes. Behind her was who Zuri recognized to be  Alice Cullen. Alice was walking at the house as they were entering.  Zuri was still in awe that vampires existed but she had to make sure not to ask or say anything as Ty did not know about their world. 

As Bella was appreciating Zuri for coming over and getting to know Ty the phone had rung and Jake did the honors by answering. Zuri could tell by the slam of the phone that something wasn't right. "Who was that?"

"Always in the way." Jake mumbled shaking.

"It was Edward wasn't it?" Zuri asked aloud in disappointment knowing that Bella has trying to get into contact with him for months. Not long after that Alice bust back through the house telling Bella that Edward was planning to kill himself because he thinks that she's dead.

"What this hell did you tell him Jake?" Zuri frowned at her friend.

Jake didn't look her way. Instead he looked towards Bella to see some type of emotion. Right then and there Bella rushed upstairs and packed a back so she could head to Italy. "Zuri I have some clothes you can wear, Ty you too." Bella stated going up the steps.

"Um, Bella I just can't go to Italy. Neither can Ty." Zuri yelled.

Ty looked at Zuri. "I'm up for Italy."

"No you shouldn't."

Ty gave her the most confused look. "You mean to tell me we have the opportunity to take a free trip to Italy and you don't wanna go?"

"I'm 17, how'd would I even get through customs?" Zuri asked her boyfriend.

"I'm pretty sure Bella will get us covered." Ty stated "Or me.

"No Ty, We're not going." Zuri answered. 

As the conversation came to a close Zuri noticed Jake had escaped outside with all the talk of going to Italy. As she went to go check on him Ty remained inside with the Cullen and Bella. 

"Where's Zuri?" Bella asked with a duffle bag of clothes.

"Outside with Jacob. Look, I know about Edward and everything. Zuri filled me in. I'd me more than happy to give you moral support if you and your friend of course allow me too.

"It's Alice." The vampire smiled liking the boy.

"I don't see why not. You can come along with." Alice winked at Bella, letting her know that Ty will be safe.

As Zuri was distracted with Jacob she didn't notice three getting into the car. Jake on the other hand went full throttle. He began to argue. When Zuri didn't Ty come out the house she opened the rear door and saw him sitting there.

"What the hell Ty! Get out!" Zuri yelled.

"I'm helping Bella out, you're her friend you should be doing the same." He argued.

"I explained this already Ty, now get out and let's go."

"No Zuri. I don't think anyone's told you that answer before and you don't know how to deal with it. I'm going to Italy. It'll only be for 24 hours." He stated grabbing the door and closing it leaving Zuri speechless.

"He'll be fine. Nothing is going to happen." Alice smiled.

The car quickly pulls off. "They've got to be kidding right?" She asked aloud.

When she didn't get a response she saw the rear of a russet wolf take off into the woods.

In Italy the red car was zooming through the streets. Bella was on edge, Ty was holding on for dear life and Alice was trying her best to save her brother. As pulled up close as she could get Bella got out and ran. Ty was left with Alice very confused. 

"What's going on?" 

"Festival." Alice answered distracted. She wanted Bella safe but also wanted her brother safe as well.

Eventually, after the long run to Edward Bella stopped him and Edward felt life again. But of course, as his decision almost exposed the vampires he had to help accountable. Coming in behind them was Alice and Ty. She didn't know what to do with him but bring him. She gave him a quick run down of everything and told him to be quiet.

"Not one human but two?" Aro spoke aloud. 

Alice was worried as she promised Zuri he would be okay, But after coming before the Volturi her sight changed. She glanced at Edward who read her mind. 

Ty was not leaving here alive.
