Samantha, Ambrus and Alexis are in the library studying when Alexis's phone rings, she looks at the caller I.D. and sees that it's her mother calling.

"Hi, Mom, what's going on?"

Hi, Lexie, how are classes?" Elizabeth asks.

"They're good, right now we're studying in the library… you sound weird, what's going on?" Alexis asks.

"Honey, I need for you and Ambrus to come home this weekend, there was a intruder in your uncle's house today, Jasper, Alice and I tracked the scent for five miles until they got into a car and left heading back to Seattle. Lex, it was a Vamp."

Alexis suddenly stands up, "What?!" She shouts.

"Shh." The librarian hisses.

"Sorry." Alexis sits back down.

"What is it, Pup?" Ambrus asks, he had just come back to his seat when he saw Alexis bolt to a standing position.

"There was a Vamp in my Uncle's house, you up for a visit to Forks this weekend to pick up the scent and do a little tracking?"

"Absolutely, Pup, we'll leave Friday after school, Samantha do you want to come?" Ambrus asks.

"Yeah more than likely Rosalie will be going as well, and so will Emmett."

"We should probably coordinate with Rose and Emmett when we get back to search for the intruder here in Seattle."

Ambrus immediately heard Alexis's heart begin to race, "Why, we can track them together, what do we need them for?" Alexis asks

"Alexis!" Samantha yells.

"Shh" Hisses the librarian again.

"Sorry." Samantha says.

"We will cover more ground if we coordinate with them and you know it, Pup. You know that this is more important than how you feel right now towards Emmett." Ambrus points out.

"Right, you're right, Ambrus, Bella and Uncle Charlie's safety comes first." Alexis says with a sigh.

"Right then, let us go find them and see if they received similar calls," Ambrus suggests.

They packed up their belongings and leave the library. As soon as they are outside they see Emmett and Rosalie heading in their direction, Emmett had a serious look on his face. He stops in front of Alexis.

"Did you get a call from your mom?"

"Yes we did, I'm assuming you got a similar call?

"Yeah, Carlisle called us, we're heading home this weekend to get the scent." Emmett explains.

"So are we, then I guess we'll meet you down there at Charlie's house." Alexis tells Emmett.

"I guess you will."

"Then when we get back, we will coordinate and search the city for this Vamp and see what he is up to." Ambrus adds.

Both Emmett and Rosalie nod. With that, Rosalie and Samantha head off towards Rose's apartment. The others just stand there, and watch them leave. Ambrus looks at his watch, then yawns.

"I am heading home now, Pup."

Alexis's eyes widen, and she reaches out for Ambrus but he steps out of her reach, he gives her a grin then nods towards Emmett. Alexis minutely shakes her head no, but Ambrus only smiles.

"Emmett, take the Pup and get her something to eat. She hasn't eaten all day."
Ambrus orders with a grin.

Emmett smirks, but then hides it, "Yeah sure, Ambrus, if Lexie wants to."
