We drove out of Forks and towards Phoenix.

I grabbed my phone from my pocket and dialed my mom's number. It rang until it went to voicemail. I let out a sigh.

"Hey, mom, it's me again," I said. "Um, you must've let your phone die or something. Bella and I aren't in Forks, but everything's ok and we'll explain it later."

***

We pulled up to a nice hotel and checked into a room.

As I sat on the bed, I heard Alice gasp.

"What is it?" I heard Jasper ask. "What do you see?"

I stood up and walked to the pair. I've never seen Alice when she's getting a vision. She just sat there, staring at nothing. Bella came up beside me, her arms crossed.

"The tracker," Alice said after a few seconds. "He just changed course."

"Where is he, Alice?" Jasper asked, grabbing a piece of paper and a pencil.

"Mirrors," Alice said, drawing on the paper. "A room full of mirrors."

"Edward said the visions weren't always certain," Bella said.

"Um, she sees the course the person is on and, if they change their minds, the vision changes," Jasper explained.

"Ok, so the course that the tracker's on now is going to lead him to a...ballet studio?" I asked.

Jasper and Alice looked at me.

"You've been here?" Alice asked.

"I, um, took lessons as a kid and Blake was always there," Bella answered. "The school I went to had an arch just like that."

"Was the school here in Phoenix?" Jasper asked.

"Uh, yeah," Bella said before her phone rang.

She answered it. It was probably Edward.

I felt my phone vibrate in my pocket. I answered it when I saw Emmett's name.

"Emmett, are you ok?" I asked, worried.

"We lost him; the tracker," Emmett said. "If you hadn't come with us, none of this would have happened. You'd be safe. I swear to God, if he even lays a finger on you, I'll rip him apart myself."

"Emmett, calm down," I said. "You need to control yourself."

"I can't," Emmett said. "I can't, knowing you're in danger."

"You have to, Emmett," I said. "Try; for me. And besides, I'll be just fine. I have Alice and Jasper."

I heard Emmett let out a sigh. "I know."

I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in. "I'll see you soon. Bye."

"Bye."

With that, I hung up, letting out a sigh. What have Bella and I gotten ourselves into?

***

I waited with Jasper and Alice as we waited to check out. I was going to say something to Bella but when I looked for her, she wasn't there. My eyebrows furrowed as I looked for her. I saw her walk out of the building and into a taxi cab. I quickly walked to the next one, giving the driver the address to the ballet studio. I knew Bella was going there. James probably called somehow and struck a deal.

***

I didn't see Bella's cab at all, but I knew she was at the ballet studio when I pulled up. The driver had taken quite a few wrong turns but I didn't mind. I thanked the cab driver before walking into the building.

What I saw made my blood boil. I grabbed a steel pole from a pile nearby and ran to James, who was hurting Bella.

"Get the hell away from my sister!" I shouted as I swung the pole, hitting James in the back of the head.

It didn't even faze him as he stood up and turned to me. He was about to attack me when Edward got to him first.

I was pushed out of the way by James as he flew in the air. I slammed my head against the wall, groaning in pain.

I saw Bella trying to crawl to me but Edward grabbed her and came to me, picking me up as well before jumping. I thought he was going to make it but I felt Edward being pulled down, causing him to let go of Bella and I.

I hit my head on the ground. I felt lightheaded. I did my best to stay awake. James came up to me, picking up my arm before I felt an excruciating pain in my wrist. The pain was too much and everything went black.
