*Calliope's POV*

(Wearing the same outfit as the last chapter)

I hold Bella's hand as we get out of the car. We just arrived in Phoenix and Alice and Mason are checking us in a hotel room. Bella, I sit on the couch once we get into the room. Alice spaces out and I immediately know she's having a vision.

"What did you see?" Mason asks.

She begins drawing in a sketchbook.

"Our old ballet studio?" Bella asks looking over Alice's shoulder.

"You know this place?" Mason asks.

Bella nods, "Yeah Calliope and I took classes there when we were kids."

"Sissy I'm tired," I hug Mr. Cookie Monster as I say this.

Bella leads me to the bedroom, closing the door behind her. Bella's phone rings and she answer it. I lay on the bed watching Bella. When she gets off the phone looks at me with a panicked expression.

"We have to leave," she says.

I sit up, "Why?"

"James has mom and if the two of us don't meet with him alone he will kill her."

I stand, Mr. Cookie Monster left on the bed, "Okay."

The two of us leave the hotel and Bella calls a cab. The cab takes us to our old ballet studio.

"Everything will be okay," Bella says showing me the pepper spray in her pocket.

I hold onto Bella's arm as we walk into the building. Once inside we can hear our mom yelling our names.

"Bella! Calliope!"

"Mom!" Bella yells running toward a large cabinet. 

I run after her, "Mom!"

When we reach the cabinet Bella opens it only to reveal a small TV which is playing an old video of mom.

The hairs on the back of my neck stand up as a cold hand touches my shoulder.

"You both smell so sweet," James says

I turn eyes wide in fear. Bella grips my hand. James smirks holding a video camera.
