On the way back to my house, despite wearing Rachel's dry clothes, I'm still cold and shivering like mad.

"108 degrees over here," Jake says and Bam looks at him.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in Bella like that but I'm hotter than you are."

"I hope you're talking about body temperature," Bam says as me and him swap places and I cuddle up to Jake to warm up.

The three of us snigger.

"My hands are freezing."

Bam leans over and starts rubbing my hands which feels nice.

"It must be nice, never getting cold, Jake," I say.

"It's a wolf thing."

"No, it's not.  It's a Jacob thing.  You have a warm heart.  You're like your own sun."

We pull up outside mine.

"Thanks for everything, Jake," I say before kissing him on the cheek.

Bam opens the door but Jake leans over both of us and slams it shut.

"What's wrong?" Bam asks.

"There a vampire."

"How do you know?" I ask.

"I can smell it," he says as he starts the car.  "I'm getting you out of here."

I look back and see Carlisle's Mercedes.

"That's Carlisle's car."

There's a brief silence.

"They're here."

I climb over Bam and climb out of the truck.

"Bella, it's a trick," Bam says.  "Stop!"

He and Jake come out after me.

"You gotta come with us."

He grabs me and I turn round as we reach the bottom of the steps leading to my front door.

"They won't hurt me."

"If a Cullen is back here," Jake says.  "This is their territory.  Treaty says we can only defend on our own lands.  I can't protect you here."

"Okay.  That's okay.  You don't have to."

"You're about to cross a line," Bam says.

"Then don't draw one.  Please?"

"Fine!" Bam says before he takes my hand and we go into the house.  Jake doesn't follow.

I flick on the lights before I see her... Alice.

"Alice," I say as I throw my arms round her.  "Oh my goodness! What are you..."

"Bella!"

"I'm sorry, I just... I can't believe you're here.  Is..."

"Would you like to explain to me how you're alive?"

"What?"

"I saw a vision of you.  You jumped off a cliff.  Why in the hell would you try and kill yourself? I mean, what about Charlie?"

"Well if you didn't block her emails, you'd understand," Bam says.

I give him a look before I turn back to Alice.

"I didn't try to kill myself.  I was cliff jumping.  Recreationally.  It was fun."

"You did nearly die though," Bam reminds me.
