THE HARBOR-LA PUSH
At a restaurant on the harbor, Emmett sat at a booth with a shot glass of wine in his hand. Three other men stared at him. Jacquelyn said, "You do realize that vampires can't get drunk, right?"
"If only I could, then I could forget about her," Emmett said sadly.
"Aaaaah, you not be needin' to worry about that wench," said Namard. "She not be worth your time."
"What do you know of this?" Viko snapped at him. "This man has a broken heart. Can you at least show him some compassion?"
"Compassion?" Namard yelled. "You stupid boy, what do you take me for? I not be showing any compassion for those landlubbers!"
"Oh, will you both be quiet?" Harry Clearwater said, feeling quite forgotten. "He needs help."
"Women aren't much for ye, eh?" said Churnkins. To Jacquelyn, he said, "We be searching for you since those wretched fiends stole you from the boat."
"Well, we should go back and confront them," said Viko. "They are not honorable men; they are monsters."
Emmett sighed and ignored the rest of the conversation. He was thinking about how he had become a vampire. Did Rosalie save him just to save his life, or was there some other ulterior motive behind the reason she had saved him? Whatever Jane said about that seemed like nonsense, but was it true? He knew that he would have to confront Rosalie about this, but right now, running away seemed to be the right answer.

VOLTERRA
Aro, Caius, and Marcus met in Marcus's office; Marcus had found out about the creator of the tiny vampires who lived in the tower with the wives and had him destroyed. He also revealed that the Romanian Coven was behind the attacks on Jamey Walsh, Poppy & Pansy Brunswick, and Peony Hildebrandt.
"So, we have the Romanians, who blatantly disregarded our rules and created these four little things?" Caius said. "Why did you not destroy them when you had the chance?"
"You needed to hear this," said Marcus. "They planned to unleash the children upon the unhappy human world."
"Such a shame," said Aro. "They will surely be destroyed for this. But how to get rid of them? They have many allies, both humans and vampires. How will we stop them if it was known what we have done to Jacquelyn Cullen?"
"Now would be the right time to talk to Carlisle Cullen and get his input on this matter," said Aro as he picked up the phone. "But even then, he will get on our case regarding the poor girl."
"As always," said Caius as he turned to see Sulpicia, Athenodora, and the four little vampires staring at them.

CULLEN HOUSE
The entire house was a mess.
Jane and Rosalie had gotten into a fight and since then, Jane was not happy. She had exposed a harsh truth about Rosalie and Emmett had overheard that truth. He ran off in anger.
Alec said to her, "Is this true? Did Rosalie plan to steal Jacquelyn's babies?"
"Would I put it past her?" said Felix.
"After all, did Jane not say to her "I bet you're glad she got knocked up; you just want to take her baby"? I bet Rosalie was planning to take the babies as soon as they were born," said Demetri.
"So, shall we inform Aro that Jacquelyn has gone missing?" said Alec.
"Are you freaking kidding me?" said Demetri. "Aro canNOT know about this! Plus, what if some other vampire finds out about this? They could hold Jacquelyn hostage and have some kind of leverage over him."
"And also, the Romanians could kidnap Jacquelyn and force those babies to fight against us," said Jane. "Now, that would not be good."
"So what do we do?" cried Esme. "Jacquelyn is vulnerable and fragile. She should be preparing to give birth, not running off. We must find her."
"Well, it's impossible to find her," said Bruce and he and Wayne came inside. "She apparently covered her tracks. And who knows how many minds she wiped clean."
Carlisle said, "We have to find her and fast. And if we find Emmett, that would be better. "Now let's go!"
The Cullens and guards rushed out the house, completely unaware of a phone which rang incessantly...

FORKS POLICE STATION
"So you're telling me that Henry Johnstone climbed the tree near Bella's window and he fell to his death?" said Charlie.
Wilbert said, "little kids climb trees, and according to your friends Billy and Harry, they saw Henry try to climb the tree when he slipped and fell."
Charlie shook his head wondering why Henry would kill himself over Bella. Even Wendell was smart enough to leave when he still had the chance. But there were more important things for him to worry about.
Mainly Bella.

LA PUSH - JACOB BLACK'S HOUSE
"So let me get this straight?" Edward said to Jacob, "My family is here?"
"But as long as that bitch is here, you can't go back to them," said Jacob.
"Very well," said Edward. "But I would like to see them anyway."
Sam came to the house and said, "Jacob, we have a problem. You must come immediately."
"Why?" said Bella.
"Jacquelyn has gone missing and a human living in Forks has been turned, presumably by her," said Sam.
"Let me go to her," said Edward. "Only I can make her see reason. I know how she really is. She wanted me and only me; she once told a lie about Jacquelyn and it nearly destroyed our family."
"Indeed," said Sam, "but all the same, there's no need for you to go to her, not when she may come to you."
"Then we question her about everything, destroy her, and find the little one," said Jared.
Edward frowned as he watched Jacob leave with Sam, Paul, and Jared. He knew he should be out there, helping to look for Jacquelyn. But until Tanya was caught and dealt with, he was still unsafe.
And then there were his growing feelings for Bella Swan for him to deal with.
