hide forever!〃
〃Calm down; Bella。〃 His voice was cold。 〃We"ve been there before。〃
〃Not over me; you don"t! You"re not ruining everything over me!〃 I
struggled violently; with total futility。
Alice spoke for the first time。 〃Edward; pull over。〃
He flashed her a hard look; and then sped up。
〃Edward; let"s just talk this through。〃
〃You don"t understand;〃 he roared in frustration。 I"d never heard his
voice so loud; it was deafening in the confines of the Jeep。 The
speedometer neared one hundred and fifteen。 〃He"s a tracker; Alice; did
you see that? He"s a tracker!〃
I felt Emmett stiffen next to me; and I wondered at his reaction to the
word。 It meant something more to the three of them than it did to me; I
wanted to understand; but there was no opening for me to ask。
〃Pull over; Edward。〃 Alice"s tone was reasonable; but there was a ring of
authority in it I"d never heard before。
The speedometer inched passed owenty。
〃Do it; Edward。〃
〃Listen to me; Alice。 I saw his mind。 Tracking is his passion; his
obsession — and he wants her; Alice — her; specifically。 He begins the
hunt tonight。〃
〃He doesn"t know where —〃
He interrupted her。 〃How long do you think it will take him to cross her
scent in town? His plan was already set before the words were out of
Laurent"s mouth。〃
I gasped; knowing where my scent would lead。 〃Charlie! You can"t leave
him there! You can"t leave him!〃 I thrashed against the harness。
〃She"s right;〃 Alice said。
The car slowed slightly。
〃Let"s just look at our options for a minute;〃 Alice coaxed。
The car slowed again; more noticeably; and then suddenly we screeched to
a stop on the shoulder of the highway。 I flew against the harness; and
then slammed back into the seat。
〃There are no options;〃 Edward hissed。
〃I"m not leaving Charlie!〃 I yelled。
He ignored me pletely。
〃We have to take her back;〃 Emmett finally spoke。
〃No。〃 Edward was absolute。
〃He"s no match for us; Edward。 He won"t be able to touch her。〃
〃He"ll wait。〃
Emmett smiled。 〃I can wait; too。〃
〃You didn"t see — you don"t understand。 Once he mits to a hunt; he"s
unshakable。 We"d have to kill him。〃
Emmett didn"t seem upset by the idea。 〃That"s an option。〃
〃And the female。 She"s with him。 If it turns into a fight; the leader
will go with them; too。〃
〃There are enough of us。〃
〃There"s another option;〃 Alice said quietly。
Edward turned on her in fury; his voice a blistering snarl。 〃There — is —
no — other — option!〃
Emmett and I both stared at him in shock; but Alice seemed unsurprised。
The silence lasted for a long minute as Edward and Alice stared each
other down。
I broke it。 〃Does anyone want to hear my plan?〃
〃No;〃 Edward growled。 Alice glared at him; finally provoked。
〃Listen;〃 I pleaded。 〃You take me back。〃
〃No;〃 he interrupted。
I glared at him and continued。 〃You take me back。 I tell my dad I want to
go home to Phoenix。 I pack my bags。 We wait till this tracker is
watching; and then we run。 He"ll follow us and leave Charlie alone。
Charlie won"t call the FBI on your family。 Then you can take me any
damned place you want。〃
They stared at me; stunned。
〃It"s not a bad idea; really。〃 Emmett"s surprise was definitely an insult。
〃It might work — and we simply can"t leave her father unprotected。 You
know that;〃 Alice said。
Everyone looked at Edward。
〃It"s too dangerous — I don"t want him within a hundred miles of her。〃
Emmett was supremely confident。 〃Edward; he"s not getting through us。〃
Alice thought for a minute。 〃I don"t see him attacking。 He"ll try to wait
for us to leave her alone。〃
〃It won"t take long for him to realize that"s not going to happen。〃
〃I demand that you take me home。〃 I tried to sound firm。
Edward pressed his fingers to his temples and squeezed his eyes shut。
〃Please;〃 I said in a much smaller voice。
He didn"t look up。 When he spoke; his voice sounded worn。
〃You"re leaving tonight; whether the tracker sees or not。 You tell
Charlie that you can"t stand another minute in Forks。 Tell him whatever
story works。 Pack the first things your hands touch; and then get in your
truck。 I don"t care what he says to you。 You have fifteen minutes。 Do you
hear me? Fifteen minutes from the time you cross the doorstep。〃
The Jeep rumbled to life; and he spun us around; the tires squealing。 The
needle on the speedometer started to race up the dial。
〃Emmett?〃 I asked; looking pointedly at my hands。
〃Oh; sorry。〃 He let me loose。
A few minutes passed in silence; other than the roar of the engine。 Then
Edward spoke again。
〃This is how it"s going to happen。 When we get to the house; if the
tracker is not there; I will walk her to the door。 Then she has fifteen
minutes。〃 He glared at me in the rearview mirror。 〃Emmett; you take the
outside of the house。 Alice; you get the truck。 I"ll be inside as long as
she is。 After she"s out; you two can take the Jeep home and tell
Carlisle。〃
〃No way;〃 Emmett broke in。 〃I"m with you。〃
〃Think it through; Emmett。 I don"t know how long I"ll be gone。〃
〃Until we know how far this is going to go; I"m with you。〃
Edward sighed。 〃If the tracker is there;〃 he continued grimly; 〃we keep
driving。〃
〃We"re going to make it there before him;〃 Alice said confidently。
Edward seemed to accept that。 Whatever his problem with Alice was; he
didn"t doubt her now。
〃What are we going to do with the Jeep?〃 she asked。
His voice had a hard edge。 〃You"re driving it home。〃
〃No; I"m not;〃 she said calmly。
The unintelligible stream of profanities started again。
〃We can"t all fit in my truck;〃 I whispered。
Edward didn"t appear to hear me。
〃I think you should let me go alone;〃 I said even more quietly。
He heard that。
〃Bella; please just do this my way; just this once;〃 he said between
clenched teeth。
〃Listen; Charlie"s not an imbecile;〃 I protested。 〃If you"re not in town
tomorrow; he"s going to get suspicious。〃
〃That"s irrelevant。 We"ll make sure he"s safe; and that"s all that
matters。〃
