EJ [THE TWILIGHT SAGA]

19

with fake passports
in hands
and slightly
altered appearances,
ej and tara
leave the cramped
place they have been
staying in for far too long.

positive that no one
will recognize them,
they catch a plane
to alaska,
where distant relatives
of ej reside.
maybe they can help?

alas they don't have
such luck.

"you can't stay here
for too long,"
eleazar denali tells them,
when he picks them up
from the airport.
and then he turns to ej.
"your family was here
last week."

ej's eyes widen.
they have been
searching for him.
he should be declared
dead already!
tara is scared too.
what if the plan
doesn't work?
what if they have
to go home?
that's the least
she wants.
