Edward's P.O.V.

"No. We haven't found anything." I said into the phone. Carlisle sighed. "I think Alice is on the verge of losing it." He said. "I know." I agreed. "If only she would have another vision. I'm not angry at her I just think it would boost her spirits."

Alice gasped. I dropped the phone and looked into her mind. It showed the shed from her earlier vision. It was settled in a little clearing and ws surrounded by trees on all sides. You could hear cars, so it was obviously on the edge of some innerstate or highway. I cheered in my head. That would make it a lot easier to find.

But she wasn't done yet.

The vision changed to show the inside of the shed. Nessie was on the floor, pale and covered in blood. I sank to my knees and let out a low moan. She was alive, but barely. Her kidnapper stood over her holding a blood covered knife and smiling. The vision ended.

Alice screamed.

Christina's P.O.V.

Our plan was worknig perfectly! The Cullen's think their darling Nessie is on the verge of death. We showed them our location so that they would come and we could destroy them. We would win.

"We need to tell her." I said. "She needs to know that they think she is dead." He sighed. "Fine. But don't reveal my gift completly."

I turned in his arms and gave him a quick kiss. "Never, darling." He smiled. "By noon the Cullen's will be destroyed."

I snorted. "If they are intelligent enough to figure out where we are." He laughed. "I showed them everything short of a street sign! They would have to be incredibly dim not to find us."

We heard a sound in the next room. I sighed. "Time to go feed the girl."

I got off his lap and began to cook. "Grilled cheese?" I asked. He shrugged. "Who cares? She only has to last until the rest of her pathetic family get here." I huffed. "Well then." I said, genuinely hurt. I liked to cook, and I thought I was fairly good at it. I'd never had someone to cook for before.

He got up and came to hug me around the waist. "I'm sorry, love. I didn't mean that." I sighed. "It's ok. And you're right." I said, moving out of his grip to the fridge. I grabbed bread and cheese. Turning around, I saw him holding a pan and I smiled. "Grilled cheese it is."

Bella's P.O.V.

We stood just outside of the clearing. It was only me, Edward, Emmet, Alice, and Jacob so we were waiting for the others to arrive. Jacob had also called the pack and they were on their way.

I growled. "We need to go! Alice saw Ness bleeding out! For all we know she could be dead by now." I said, my voice breaking on the last word.

Edward came over and began to rub my shoulders. "Love, calm down. She's gonna be fine." He said. I took my shield down and asked his in my head, How can you be so calm when our daughter is an inch from death?!?!

He sighed. "I'm freaking out just the same as you, love. I just learned how to control it." ARE YOU IMPLYING THAT I HAVE NO SELF-CONTROL?!?!? He sighed again and threw me over his shoulder. Great.

He whispered something to Alice that I couldn't hear and raced off. We got about a mile or two away before he finally set me down and sat on the forest floor. He pulled me into his lap and began humming my lullaby.

I melted into him and relaxed. "I'm sorry Edward." He shushed me and continued humming. When the song finished, he looked me in the eyes and said, "We're all a little stressed out with Nessie being gone. I know you miss her and you think no one understands, but you have to know that we all miss her every bit as much as you do."

It was at that moment that I realized that no one could have a better father than Edward Cullen.

I threw my arms around his neck and started to dry sob. "What if she dies?" He tightened his hold on me  and whispered in my ear, "She won't. I promise."

He suddenly jerked up and stood. He held out a hand to me. I took it and he helped me up. "It's time." He said.
