{Whoo, two in one day, I know! Make sure wewe read Parts One and Two before this one, thanks, NN}
Edward's voice broke through my reverie. "Bella?"
I shook my head. "Yeah?"
His face relaxed.
"You never alisema hello to me," I said.
"Hello...?" he said, confused.
I laughed at his expression, than I pulled my face up to kiss him.
He pecked me on the lips but pulled away quickly. "You need rest, Bella."
I scowled, but lay down and let my eyelids slide shut. My dreams that night were full of shadows and illusion.
When I woke he was sitting on the rocking chair instead of his usual position at my side with his arms around me. He eyed me almost warily. "Good morning." Almost before I had a chance to say anything back he flashed to my side, kissed me lightly on the forehead, and was out the window.
Shaken, I hurried down to the jikoni to eat breakfast. I decided Edward probably wasn't going to pick me up for school that morning.
I didn't know what was up with him. Maybe he didn't get any mountain lions last weekend, I thought. Normally, that idea would have made me chuckle, but for some reason today it didn't.
Edward wasn't at school that siku either. I didn't expect him to be, but it was uncomfortable all the same. At least Mike didn't try any zaidi advances on me today. Instead of the slog the siku when he was hunting had been, today passed in a flash. I realized with a sinking feeling that this was probably becasue I doubted I would see him tonight. What was I going to do?
After school I wandered out to my truck to head home. My mind was on whether au not Edward would be at my window.
Suddenly I heard an unexpected voice.
"Hi Bella!" chirped Alice Cullen.
"Alice! Why are wewe here? Where's Edward?"
"Calm down, Bella!" she complained as I enveloped her with a hug of Jacob-sized proportions. "I'm here because Jasper and Edward are gone, and I was bored. So I came to see you!"
I looked up sharply. "Why are they gone?"
"Oh, wewe know, trying to find them," she shrugged.
"Them??"
"Edward told you, remember? When I called him last night when he was at your place he alisema that you're the one that let him know in the first place."
"Yeah, Alistair. Why'd wewe say 'them'?"
"Alistair?!" she asked confused. "Didn't he mention the Volturi?"
"What?" I was shocked.
"They're here, that's what the killings are, surely he told you."
"He didn't say a word." My voice was shaking, not with the fear I should be feeling, but with anger.
