impossible。 So you see; to actually bite someone; to taste the blood; it
would begin the frenzy。 It"s difficult on both sides — the bloodlust on
the one hand; the awful pain on the other。〃
〃Why do you think you don"t remember?〃
〃I don"t know。 For everyone else; the pain of transformation is the
sharpest memory they have of their human life。 I remember nothing of
being human。〃 Her voice was wistful。
We lay silently; wrapped in our individual meditations。
The seconds ticked by; and I had almost forgotten her presence; I was so
enveloped in my thoughts。
Then; without any warning; Alice leaped from the bed; landing lightly on
her feet。 My head jerked up as I stared at her; startled。
〃Something"s changed。〃 Her voice was urgent; and she wasn"t talking to me
anymore。
She reached the door at the same time Jasper did。 He had obviously heard
our conversation and her sudden exclamation。 He put his hands on her
shoulders and guided her back to the bed; sitting her on the edge。
〃What do you see?〃 he asked intently; staring into her eyes。 Her eyes
were focused on something very far away。 I sat close to her; leaning in
to catch her low; quick voice。
〃I see a room。 It"s long; and there are mirrors everywhere。 The floor is
wooden。 He"s in the room; and he"s waiting。 There"s gold… a gold stripe
across the mirrors。〃
〃Where is the room?〃
〃I don"t know。 Something is missing — another decision hasn"t been made
yet。〃
〃How much time?〃
〃It"s soon。 He"ll be in the mirror room today; or maybe tomorrow。 It all
depends。 He"s waiting for something。 And he"s in the dark now。〃
Jasper"s voice was calm; methodical; as he questioned her in a practiced
way。 〃What is he doing?〃
〃He"s watching TV… no; he"s running a VCR; in the dark; in another place。〃
〃Can you see where he is?〃
〃No; it"s too dark。〃
〃And the mirror room; what else is there?〃
〃Just the mirrors; and the gold。 It"s a band; around the room。 And
there"s a black table with a big stereo; and a TV。 He"s touching the VCR
there; but he doesn"t watch the way he does in the dark room。 This is the
room where he waits。〃 Her eyes drifted; then focused on Jasper"s face。
〃There"s nothing else?〃
She shook her head。 They looked at each other; motionless。
〃What does it mean?〃 I asked。
Neither of them answered for a moment; then Jasper looked at me。
〃It means the tracker"s plans have changed。 He"s made a decision that
will lead him to the mirror room; and the dark room。〃
〃But we don"t know where those rooms are?〃
〃No。〃
〃But we do know that he won"t be in the mountains north of Washington;
being hunted。 He"ll elude them。〃 Alice"s voice was bleak。
〃Should we call?〃 I asked。 They traded a serious look; undecided。
And the phone rang。
Alice was across the room before I could lift my head to look at it。
She pushed a button and held the phone to her ear; but she didn"t speak
first。
〃Carlisle;〃 she breathed。 She didn"t seem surprised or relieved; the way
I felt。
〃Yes;〃 she said; glancing at me。 She listened for a long moment。
〃I just saw him。〃 She described again the vision she"d seen。 〃Whatever
made him get on that plane… it was leading him to those rooms。〃 She
paused。 〃Yes;〃 Alice said into the phone; and then she spoke to me。
〃Bella?〃
She held the phone out toward me。 I ran to it。
〃Hello?〃 I breathed。
〃Bella;〃 Edward said。
〃Oh; Edward! I was so worried。〃
〃Bella;〃 he sighed in frustration; 〃I told you not to worry about
anything but yourself。〃 It was so unbelievably good to hear his voice。 I
felt the hovering cloud of despair lighten and drift back as he spoke。
〃Where are you?〃
〃We"re outside of Vancouver。 Bella; I"m sorry — we lost him。 He seems
suspicious of us — he"s careful to stay just far enough away that I can"t
hear what he"s thinking。 But he"s gone now — it looks like he got on a
plane。 We think he"s heading back to Forks to start over。〃 I could hear
Alice filling in Jasper behind me; her quick words blurring together into
a humming noise。
〃I know。 Alice saw that he got away。〃
〃You don"t have to worry; though。 He won"t find anything to lead him to
you。 You just have to stay there and wait till we find him again。〃
〃I"ll be fine。 Is Esme with Charlie?〃
〃Yes — the female has been in town。 She went to the house; but while
Charlie was at work。 She hasn"t gone near him; so don"t be afraid。 He"s
safe with Esme and Rosalie watching。〃
〃What is she doing?〃
〃Probably trying to pick up the trail。 She"s been all through the town
during the night。 Rosalie traced her through the airport; all the roads
around town; the school… she"s digging; Bella; but there"s nothing to
find。〃
〃And you"re sure Charlie"s safe?〃
〃Yes; Esme won"t let him out of her sight。 And we"ll be there soon。 If
the tracker gets anywhere near Forks; we"ll have him。〃
〃I miss you;〃 I whispered。
〃I know; Bella。 Believe me; I know。 It"s like you"ve taken half my self
away with you。〃
〃e and get it; then;〃 I challenged。
〃Soon; as soon as I possibly can。 I will make you safe first。〃 His voice
was hard。
〃I love you;〃 I reminded him。
〃Could you believe that; despite everything I"ve put you through; I love
you; too?〃
〃Yes; I can; actually。〃
〃I"ll e for you soon。〃
〃I"ll be waiting。〃
As soon as the phone went dead; the cloud of depression began to creep
over me again。
I turned to give the phone back to Alice and found her and Jasper bent
over the table; where Alice was sketching on a piece of hotel stationery。
I leaned on the back of the couch; looking over her shoulder。
She drew a room: long; rectangular; with a thinner; square section at the
back。 The wooden planks that made up the floor stretched lengthwise
across the room。 Down the walls were lines denoting the breaks in the
mirrors。 And then; wrapping around the walls; waist high; a long band。
The band Alice said was gold。
〃It"s a ballet studio;〃 I said; suddenly recognizing the familiar shapes。
They looked at me; surprised。
〃Do you know this room?〃 Jasper"s
