I strolled calmly amongst the trees, enjoying the peace after the hunt. It wasn't often that I was alone, but when it was it was nice. I rolled my eyes suddenly as my peace was interrupted. Alice skipped through the green brush towards me.

"Hi, Edward!" I skidded to a stop in front of my brother and grinned. I looked up at him and he squinted his eyes in response. I blinked and grinned again. "So..." I leaned casually against one of the many trees. "What's up?"

"Nothing really...just finished hunting. I'd hoped for some peace but apparently not...any particular reason for this intrusion?" I said, glaring at a tree.

My mind sort of went blank...which really doesn't happen a lot. "No, not really...Jasper's out hunting with Emmett, Carlisle's at work, and Esme went for a drive with Rosalie. So..." I tilted my head down and looked up innocently. "I was lonely?" Edward rolled his eyes again. "Anyhow, why so hostile today? Something's...different, I can tell. Something on your mind?"

"Not alot...it's just that we're getting to the point where we're going to have to leave again...and I know it's going to be hard, that's all," I told her, staring off into space. I knew it would be difficult, leaving again...Forks was so perfect too...

"True," I looked down at my feet. "I don't want to leave...what about the great things here we've come to know? The weather, the peace of the forests..." I looked up to meet Edward's eyes. "Bella. How can we leave her? It's not right! We can't...we just can't!!!" I realized I had raised my voice so much it echoed.

"I never said we were leaving Bella," I growled. How could she jump to that conclusion? "Did you honestly think I would...do that?" I hissed, trying and failing to keep my temper.

"No, but she can't exactly come WITH us!" I stepped back and squinted my eyes and hissed back at my brother. My shoulders tensed up. Why was I even reacting like this? It just wasn't me.

"Oh? And why not? She's of an age..." I argued, trying to convince myself it was going to be alright.

"Well..." I closed my eyes. "She's got Charlie. What will she tell Renee?" I slid down to sit on the ground in front of the tree. "But...I know she loves you. And all of us..."

"Well...Charlie is used to being on his own...and Renee...knows that Bella should make her own choices..." I said. Bella wouldn't just let us leave. She would demand we take her with us...

"I know," I sighed. I looked up at Edward. "When are you going to tell Bella?" Just then, I heard footsteps approaching behind me. Edward looked at who was behind me. I turned around. "Looks like now," I said quietly as Bella walked towards us.

"Edward I was looking all over for y-" I said before stumbling over a hidden tree root. I blushed as I stood up. "Where have you been? Oh, hey Alice," I murmured. I stared at their forlorn faces. "Did I come at a bad time?"

"No, of course not!" I smiled. *Do something!* I thought, hoping Edward would hear me.

"Nothing at all Bella, forget it," I said, smoothing out my expression. A small sigh of releif escaped from Alice's lips.
