Jacob’s P.O.V

I hadn’t talked to, or seen Fly in weeks. I wanted to but I just couldn’t gather the courage I needed, I was ashamed of how I treated her in that one moment of rage and confusion. She hated the Cullen’s, she hated vampires and now? Now she was friends with them? I wanted her to come down to the reservation to see me, I wanted to go to her house and see her but I knew that for as long as Fly was on board with the vampires they’d always be there to watch over her. In a way it put my mind at ease knowing she’d be protected but it also made me distressed. I wanted to be the one to protect her not a blood sucking Cullen. But I guess if I want Fly back I was going to have to put this pettiness in the past.

Fly's P.O.V

“We’ve decided to throw a party!” announced Alice at the table as her and Jasper placed their lunch trays, on the table, opposite me.

“After all how many times are we going to graduate” clowned Jasper, only i giggled at the inside joke as everyone eyed each other and smiled. I diverted every ones attention as Bella focused on Alice who had gone quiet, her eyes moving rapidly. She was having a vision.

“A party at the Cullen’s” I celebrate grabbing Jess’ hand and squeezing it, I conversed with her and the others for as long as it took Alice to come out of her trance, knowing that Bella would tell me about it after.

We pulled up in the Police Station car park. “I know you know what she saw” I say to Bella in the seat of her truck.

“What?”

“Bella, tell me. You look worried!”

“Nothing, it was nothing” she defends, all I had to do was give her my ‘are you really going to lie to me after all we’ve been through’ face and she was like putty in my hands. “Fine. They’ve been tracking this situation in Seattle, there’s been multiple killings and if it gets any more conspicuous the Volturi will step in” she confesses.

“Bella if they go to Seattle they could come here. They would see that you’re still human!” I exclaim in horror knowing that the Volturi doesn’t put up with any babble.

“But they won’t” Bella reassures. As the doors to the Police entrance opened my head snapped to the crying elderly couple that came walking out followed by Charlie.

“Dad, what happened?” Bella asks, almost like she knew the answer.

“Some young boy’s gone missing in Seattle, his mum and dad are worried sick and there’s no news coming in so they’re anxious” he explained.

“Who?” I ask.

“His name is Riley. Riley Biers” he says looking down at the police report in his hand.

“Riley” I repeat, memorising the name as it could have something to do with the killings.

“Hey shouldn’t the two of you be on a flight to your mum’s already?” he asks suddenly alarmed.

“Oh yeah, our bags are in the car we just came to say goodbye” I say, Bella and I kissing him on either side of his cheeks before we drive off.

Bella and Edward had yet another tiff about Bella being changed, into a vampire that is, as we drove to school. Edward really cared for her, he didn’t want to see her throw her life away for him and turn into the monster he sees himself as. The argument was ended as both Edward and Bella looked out through the driver window into the distance of the school grounds.
