The Lucky Swan // Twilight

Chapter 13- In Phoenix

(Edited)

-----------------------------------

When we arrived at the hotel, the sun was just beginning to rise. We managed to get a room quickly, despite our sudden arrival. The second we were in the room, Jasper was at the windows shutting all the curtains.

Before Jasper shut the last curtain, the sun shone on him, causing his skin to glow like diamonds. 'I would need to ask him about that later.'

We sat in silence for nearly 30 minutes. Bella was sitting on one of the beds, with her head in her hands, while I sat next to Jasper, his arm around me.

Alice sat next to us on the couch before she gasped and suddenly tensed up. I looked towards her and spoke, "What is it?" Jasper's voice overlapped mine, "What do you see?"

Alice's voice was shaky when she spoke, "The tracker. He just changed course." Jasper rushed to get paper and a pencil. When Alice grabbed ahold of both, she began scribbling quickly.

Bella looks towards her before speaking, "Edward said her visions aren't always certain." I look towards her as Jasper speaks, "If a person changes their mind, then the vision changes."

Bella nods before looking towards Alice's drawing. A mix of confusion and shock come over her before she speaks, "So, the course that the tracker is on now, is going to lead him to a ballet studio?" We all look at her.

"You've been here?" Bella nods in response to Alice's question. 

Bella begins to explain, "I took lessons as a kid. The school I went to had an arch just like that." She's pointing to the drawing as she speaks. 

Jasper looks at her with a pointed look before asking, "Was your school here in Phoenix?" Bella's response was a curt nod, her phone rings, and she answers it quickly.

Jasper and Alice turn to me before Alice asks, "Did you go to school here too?" I shook my head before responding, "No, but I took music lessons at the studio across the street." They nod.

After Bella hangs up the phone, we pack up everything we brought and go to the lobby to check out. I stayed with Bella as Jasper and Alice went to the front desk.

Bella's phone rang, the caller ID displaying 'HOME.' That only meant that our mother was in Phoenix.

Bella answered, and from the looks of it, she was trying to calm our mother down. But her eyes went wide, and she spoke quietly, "Don't touch her. Don't."

I look up to her as she speaks. With her tone and phrasing, that meant that the tracker had our mother. Bella's voice cuts through my thoughts, "Where should we meet you?" I glance up at her with wide eyes. 'We?'

Bella hung up the phone and looked to me. I sighed before asking a question, one that I already knew the answer to, "We have to go to the ballet studio. Don't we?"

"Yes."
