Chapter 26

All at once. Just gone like it never happened. My family was running towards me. I tried to explain, but my throat was raw from screaming. I could barely talk. Edward translated for me.

     "She says that the pain wasn't hers," he told them. "She thinks it was Jasper."

"We need to get to him," Rose said. "Now."

"Yes, I agree," Carlisle said. Everyone nodded. "Everyone pack your things. Alice, have Josh tell the wolves. Half come with us, the other half stay here to protect Charlie and the girls." Alice nodded and ran out the door. "I'll get the tickets."

Everyone was running around the house, making sure we had everything we would need for a battle. I took the girls home and told Charlie what was happening. It was hard communicating to him as my throat still hurt, but I could talk a little now so he got the general idea. When I got back, Carlisle had everybody in the living room.

"All flights from here to Augusta have long layovers," he said. "We'll get there faster if we drive. It's going to take around 47 hours with no stops."

"There's no other way?" I begged. "We can't run?"

"There's too much at risk," he shook his head. "The chance of someone seeing us is too great. I'm sorry. I should've listened to you and left as soon as we found them."

     "It's okay," I assured him. "But we need to get to Jasper. So let's go."

     When we got to Maine, I immediately picked up Bella's scent. I followed it with Emmett, Edward, Rose, and Danny. The others went with Carlisle to his friends house to meet up with our allies who have agreed to fight.

     "Kennedy!" I heard from behind me. It was Alice, Josh, Sam, Jake, and some other wolves. I think their names were Embry and Paul. "We want to help."

     "Split up," I told them. "Four of us will go to the front door. They'll be the distraction. Ring the doorbell when Carlisle sends Sam to you. The others will go around back."

     "I'll go to the front door," Josh offered. "Me, Jake, Embry, and Paul will be new to most of the army. The probably don't know about shapeshifters. It'll give us an advantage."

     "That's perfect," I said. "Take Alice, Danny, and Emmett. They'll hide around the corner and come help you when the fight breaks out."

     "I'll text Carlisle and tell him the plan," Rose said. "So that he can divide his group properly and send Sam to them."

     "That's great Rose," I said. "Now when we split up, do not engage. We're not prepared for a battle yet. We're too outnumbered. We're just trying to get a feel of the exits. Wait for Carlisle and the others to get here."

     "Sir yes sir," Josh saluted and walked away with his group.

"Okay let's go," I said.

When we got around the side of the house, we were met with a wooden gate. Edward felt around the lock as quietly as he could.

"There's a padlock," he whispered to us. "It'll make too much noise to break right now. We're going to have to wait for Carlisle to get here."

     By the time Carlisle got there, I was so anxious I could barely stand still. Edward almost had to sit on me to stop me from making dumb decisions or too much noise.

     "Fucking finally," I whispered harshly when the car pulled up. "What did you stop for McDonald's or something?"

     "Shut up," Sam said. "We had to mix our scents. Swapping clothes can be difficult."
