"Shouldn't one of us have stayed with Althea while Victoria is out here?" Rosalie asked while the Cullen family stood in the dark woods scanning the treeline. Bella and Edward had gone to see Renee and Althea was still in Forks. The blonde vampire couldn't help but feel a little concerned for her friend who the red-headed vampire was after.

Alice continued to stand there trying to get her vision clear. She knew Victoria was coming. It was just a matter of time. The short-haired Cullen still couldn't help but think about what Althea had said. She saw Victoria die, she knew she was going to die. But Alice hadn't been able to see that. So she could only help but wonder if tonight would be that night or if that would be too easy.

"She's back at home, locked up tight. She said she didn't need or want anyone there to watch her. Even sent her little boyfriend away. Althea wants almost all of us out here because she thinks it could help get Victoria quicker," Jasper said.

And he was right. Althea made it very clear that she thought the more bodies out there for the singular vampire would be enough. She would be fine at home with the doors locked. It wasn't like she had never come face to face with Victoria before. Althea could hold her own for the weekend while everyone was out and her father was working a missing persons case.

"Are you sure this is where you saw her?" Carlisle questioned his daughter.

"She's almost here," Alice informed them. All their eyes scanned around their surroundings. Then she suddenly got her vision, seeing Victoria's next move, "On your left!"

The family was quick to take off after the vampire. Emmett was the one who had soon caught up to her. Quick on her tail with determination. He had his sight on the vampire who threatened to harm his friend. He wanted to end her. Right as he reached out for Victoria, she moved quickly, flinging him over her shoulder into a tree. It angered the male vampire more. He didn't seem to falter as he got to his feet and continued on his hunt along with the rest of the Cullens.

The family was quick to come to a halt in their chase once Victoria jumped across the water that indicated the start of the treaty-line.

"Wait. She's in their territory," Carlisle told them.

"She'll get away!" Esme yelled as they started to chase her along their side of the line.

"No, she won't," Jasper said. It didn't take long for the wolves to make their presence known as they chased after the vampire.
