The Storm

    3rd Person

   " Ok thank you for informing us..." Carlisle snapped the phone shut placing it to his lips as he leaned in his chair and let his thoughts run unchecked. They had found a lead and where taking it but what's to say this one wasn't going to be another dead end. If he could grey Carlisle was almost certain his head would be full of the silver strands. They had played into their enemies hands and blindly gave them Anastasia without so much as a struggle. He was worried they were only for lack of a better term chasing their tails.

      The Volturi castle was too highly guarded and Anastasia was always with the twins so they couldn't attack her then. But getting her back to forks and getting her to let her guard down was almost too easy. The storm that was keeping the twins so long wasn't natural in fact it seemed almost to suspicious but no one casted the notion a glance until it was too late.

      Emmett and Rosalie were searching the eastern shores and Edward along with Bella were on the western front. The remaining ones including Jacobs pack raced across the center of America searching for any signs of their missing Anastasia. Seth was a ball of guilt and depression as he blamed himself for Anastasia's kidnapping. For he was the one to tell Andrew that she was back in Forks. That was another stab to the Cullen's heart. Andrew knight had betrayed his sisters and helped plot to kidnap her.

     " Was that Alec." His mate walked into the office carrying a piece of fabric in her hands. " Yes. He called to inform me that one of the prisoners has given the Volturi very promising information and they are moving on with a new plan to find her." Esme whimpered softly bringing the fabric closer to her chest and Carlisle realized that the fabric was Anastasia's favorite jacket something she would wear everyday when longing around the house. The cardigan had more tears then he could count but Anastasia would never let anyone throw it away. It was like her comfort blanket something to keep her grounded and make her feel protected.

        " I miss her too." He stood and walked over to his wife wrapping his arms around her as she began to shake in his arms. " We will find her Esme we just have to have hope." He breathed into her hair after placing an affectionate kiss on her head.

   " What happens when hope isn't enough?" She whispered softly into his shoulder and clutched the jacket closer to her chest when she didn't get a answer back. She just wanted her daughter back in her arms where she knew she would be safe.

     Alec stared blankly at the dress that was placed before him. The white skirt draped down onto the floor and the lace that adorned the bodice was breathtaking in the most painful of ways. The train seemed to stretch out for miles and the sheer veil was placed on top of the mannikins head. He so badly wanted to turn away but he couldn't bring himself to.
   
      " Alec!" His twin came rushing in frantically looking around the room until her eyes landed on the dress. " You weren't suppose to see it." She sighed walking to the center of the room were it was situated. " Don't." She stopped at her twins command. " Don't take it away." His voice cracked slightly and Jane rushed to his side.
      " Today was suppose to be the most memorable day in our lives. She was suppose to walk down the aisle wearing this dress Jane she was suppose to become my wife and I her husband." He growled angrily clenching his fist around the small piece of jewelry that meant more to him then his own life. It was the last real piece he had of her, that is until he got her back in his arms.
    
     " I know Alec I know." She cradled her brother's head to her chest almost like a mother would do to a weeping child. " I'm going to kill them" he growled clenching his eyes shut as images of his love flashed before his eyes. " They will regret the day they ever so much as glanced in her direction." Jane couldn't agree more.

" Any signs of her?" Dylan asked his covenant frantically as he entered the house his hair windswept and his clothes smelling of earth as he had searched the whole of Pennsylvania for any clues.

    " No."Jason tensely replied looking down at the map placing a red flag in another area they had searched. " She can't just disappear off he face of the earth." Hope mumbled softly clutching her jacket to herself. Malia didn't look up from her trance as she slid a hand over the world map that laid before her.
   
     " If only someone could try and mentally.." a sharp scream left the youngest hunters lips as she looked up her eyes wide and her mouth forming into a hopeful smile. " What is it!!"
Dylan rushed to her side looking down at the map were her hand was placed over Germany.
  
    " Sophia." Dylan breathed out meeting Malias eyes his own broad smile forming on his lips. " Call Alec we may have just found a way to communicate with Anastasia." Jason immediately speed over to the old phone that sat on another desk. Rapidly he dialed the number and waited anxiously for the tone to click.

     A sharp ring broke the silence the twins were basking in making Jane annoyed. " Hello." Alec answered the call his voice void of all emotions. " Alec it's Jason I think we found something." Standing abruptly the male witch twin was already grabbing his cape and shoes. " I'm on my way." He growled before hanging up and barking at the lower guards that were in the halls to prepare the jet.

"  Carlisle it's Malia." Carlisle sat up straighter giving the young vampire all his attention. " Malia what can I do for you?" A shaky sigh came from the other end as Carlisle waited for a response. " I need you to bring Edward and Reneesme to Pennsylvania I think we may have found something that can help us." Edward was already at the door way looking ready to swim across the ocean if it meant a lead on finding his sister. " We'll be their in a day." Carlisle replied before hanging up and nodding at his son. " Let's go."
