I considered my options of places they'd go. It was obviously going to be in the North or somewhere sunless. I figured the best bet was to start in Alaska. Even if they weren't there, maybe Tanya's coven would know where I could find them. I took off to the nearest airport. While I was boarding, I saw countless people staring at me. I ducked my head and boarded the flight. The person I sat next to was constantly examining my overwhelming perfection. Just my luck, it was a guy, about nineteen or twenty. He was constantly asking me questions. I told him my name was Jessica, and made the mistake of telling him I was single. He told me his name was Kyle, and I noticed that when I nodded off to "sleep" he slipped his phone number into the water bottle part of my backpack. I sighed and managed to "sleep" through the seven hour flight.
When we landed I had to break the news to Kyle that I was getting off, since he was staying on the plane on his way up farther North. On my way from the seat I dropped the slip of paper back on his lap and hurried away. He didn't seemed to have noticed.
Even in the airport people stared. I picked up a map of Alaska and stepped out into the cloudy day. I saw that we had landed in Wasilla and that Denali was about a two-hour drive. So not a long run. I picked up my backpack and headed out.
It didn't take long to get to Denali, but now I had to find the Denali coven. I sighed. I thought about how I was going to find them. Where do they live? Northwest corner of the park. Wait, how did I know that? I keep just answering myself. Every question I know the answer to. So I did have an extra power. I knew things. Everything. But why?
I thought of what Carlisle said; something brought from their human life. I suppose I did know a bit too much than was good for my own health. That works.
I set off toward the park, and the Denali coven.
I found myself on the step of a large, antique-dollhouse-looking house. "Wow," I said before knocking on the door.
I heard low murmurs coming from the other side. Then I heard one of them hiss, "Fine I'll get it, but watch my back." She opened the door and scanned me with anxious eyes. "Hello?"
She was definitely a vampire. She was a girl with the usual pale skin and gold eyes, and strawberry-blonde hair. And this is . . .? I mentally asked myself. Tanya. She also has heard about you and thinks she's in love with Edwa-- I shoved the thought back. "Are you Tanya?" I asked, for her sake.
She looked wary, "Yes?"
"Um, I have a few questions to ask your coven, if that's alright," I asked politely.
"Of course, come in," one of the others said.
I walked in and I saw two others seated on a long white couch. One gestured to a chair and I sat down. "I am Irina and this is Carmen. What can we help you with?"
I took a deep breath before asking, "I'm on a tracking mission." That seemed like a reasonably believable thing. "It involves the Cullens."
Carmen snorted. "I hope you're not another one tracking their precious little human." I grimaced. She continued, "They'll kill anyone who tries. It's a well kept record."
"Not completely," I said, almost glaring at her.
She raised one eyebrow at me. "Oh? You're attempting to break it?"
"It's already broken," I tried not to get angry, but ended up snarling.
They all stared at me shocked. I took a deep breath to calm myself. I made an effort to smile, "I'm Bella Swan."
They stared at me, then Irina grinned.
"You mean you're the human who falls down a lot?" she asked with a laugh.
"Emmet," I said, sourly.
Tanya looked at me with an enraged expression. "You," she said, angrily. "You're the one who broke Edward's heart. The human he fell in love with."
I looked at her stunned. "Broke his heart?" I asked, not understanding her words.
"Yes, his heart," she snarled.
"I. Broke. His. Heart," I asked, incredulously. "Me."
She still glared at me. "He hasn't been with his family at all. They told us that he had a problem with the human girl he fell in love with, and that he was too upset to be around anyone. That would be you."
I realized that my jaw had dropped. I snapped it shut. "I guess I am."
Tanya stalked out of the room. "Sorry about her," Irina whispered. "What do you need to know?"
"I just want to find the rest of them. I need to talk to Carlisle," I explained. "Do you know they are?"
"Yes, they are currently staying in Edmonton, in Alberta, Canada."
"Thank you," I turned to leave, but then spun around. "Don't tell them I'm here, a vampire, or even alive, kay?"
"Uh, sure," Irina said, confused.
"Thanks, and bye. I have my funeral to attend." Of course I knew when my funeral was. Tomorrow at 1 PM.
