Dream happy dreams。 You are the only one who has ever touched my heart。 It will always be yours。 Sleep�察�
my only love。 ̄ 
    He started to hum my lullaby�察�and I knew it was only a matter of time till I succumbed�察�so I closed my 
eyes and snuggled closer into his chest。 

                                                  9。 TARGET 


ALICE DROPPED ME OFF IN THE MORNING�察�IN KEEPING with the slumber party charade。 It wouldn¨t be long 
until Edward showed up�察�officially returning from his ^hiking ̄ trip。 All of the pretenses were starting to wear on 
me。 I wouldn¨t miss this part of being human。 
    Charlie peeked through the front window when he heard me slam the car door。 He waved to Alice�察�and 
then went to get the door for me。 
    ^Did you have fun�拭院�Charlie asked。 
    ^Sure�察�it was great。 Very 。 。 。 girlie。 ̄ 
    I carried my stuff in�察�dumped it all at the foot of the stairs�察�and wandered into the kitchen to look for a 
snack。 
    ^You¨ve got a message�察院�Charlie called after me。 
    On the kitchen counter�察�the phone message pad was propped up conspicuously against a saucepan。 
    Jacob called�察�Charlie had written。 


      He said he didn¨t mean it�察�and that he¨s sorry。 He wants you to call him。 Be nice and give him a 
      break。 He sounded upset。 


    I grimaced。 Charlie didn¨t usually editorialize on my messages。 
    Jacob could just go ahead and be upset。 I didn¨t want to talk to him。 Last I¨d heard�察�they weren¨t big on 
allowing phone calls from the other side。 If Jacob preferred me dead�察�then maybe he should get used to the 
silence。 
    My appetite evaporated。 I turned an about face and went to put my things away。 
    ^Aren¨t you going to call Jacob�拭院�Charlie asked。 He was leaning around the living room wall�察�watching me 
pick up。 
    ^No。 ̄ 
    I started up the stairs。 
    ^That¨s not very attractive behavior�察�Bella�察院�he said。 ^Forgiveness is divine。 ̄ 
    ^Mind your own business�察院�I muttered under my breath�察�much too low for him to hear。 
    I knew the laundry was building up�察�so after I put my toothpaste away and threw my dirty clothes in the 
hamper�察�I went to strip Charlie¨s bed。 I left his sheets in a pile at the top of the stairs and went to get mine。 
    I paused beside the bed�察�cocking my head to the side。 
    Where was my pillow�拭�I turned in a circle�察�scanning the room。 No pillow。 I noticed that my room looked 
oddly tidy。 Hadn¨t my gray sweatshirt been draped over the low bedpost on the footboard�拭�And I would 
swear there had been a pair of dirty socks behind the rocking chair�察�along with the red blouse I¨d tried on two 
mornings ago�察�but decided was too dressy for school�察�hanging over the arm。 。 。 。 I spun around again。 My 
hamper wasn¨t empty�察�but it wasn¨t overflowing�察�the way I thought it had been。 
    Was Charlie doing laundry�拭�That was out of character。 
    ^Dad�察�did you start the wash�拭院�I shouted out my door。 
    ^Um�察�no�察院�he shouted back�察�sounding guilty。 ^Did you want me to�拭院�
    ^No�察�I got it。 Were you looking for something in my room�拭院�
    ^No。 Why�拭院�
    ^I can¨t find 。 。 。 a shirt。 。 。 。 ̄ 
    ^I haven¨t been in there。 ̄ 
    And then I remembered that Alice had been here to get my pajamas。 I hadn¨t noticed that she¨d borrowed 
my pillow�察�too ! probably since I¨d avoided the bed。 It looked like she had cleaned while she was passing 
through。 I blushed for my slovenly ways。 
    But that red shirt really wasn¨t dirty�察�so I went to save it from the hamper。 
    I expected to find it near the top�察�but it wasn¨t there。 I dug through the whole pile and still couldn¨t find it。 I 

knew I was probably getting paranoid�察�but it seemed like something else was missing�察�or maybe more than one 
something。 I didn¨t even have half a load here。 
    I ripped my sheets off and headed for the laundry closet�察�grabbing Charlie¨s on the way。 The washing 
machine was empty。 I checked the dryer�察�too�察�half´expecting to find a washed load waiting for me�察�courtesy of 
Alice。 Nothing。 I frowned�察�mystified。 
    ^Did you find what you were looking for�拭院�Charlie yelled。 
    ^Not yet。 ̄ 
    I went back upstairs to search under my bed。 Nothing but dust bunnies。 I started to dig through my 
dresser。 Maybe I¨d put the red shirt away and forgotten。 
    I gave up when the doorbell rang。 That would be Edward。 
    ^Door�察院�Charlie informed me from the couch as I skipped past him。 
    ^Don¨t strain yourself�察�Dad。 ̄ 
    I pulled the door open with a big smile on my face。 
    Edward¨s golden eyes were wide�察�his nostrils flared�察�his lips pulled back over his teeth。 
    ^Edward�拭院�My voice was sharp with shock as I read his expression。 ^What !�拭院�
    He put his finger to my lips。 ^Give me two seconds�察院�he whispered。 ^Don¨t move。 ̄ 
    I stood frozen on the doorstep and he 。 。 。 disappeared。 He moved so quickly that Charlie wouldn¨t even 
have seen him pass。 
    Before I could compose myself enough to count to two�察�he was back。 He put his arm around my waist 
and pulled me swiftly toward the kitchen。 His eyes darted around the room�察�and he held me against his body 
as if he were shielding me from something。 I threw a glance toward Charlie on the couch�察�but he was 
studiously ignoring us。 
    ^Someone¨s been here�察院�he murmured in my ear after he pulled me to the back of the kitchen。 His voice 
was strained�察�it was difficult to hear him over the thumping of the washing machine。 
    ^I swear that no werewolves ! ̄ I started to say。 
    ^Not one of them�察院�he interrupted me quickly�察�shaking his head。 ^One of us。 ̄ 
    His tone made it clear that he didn¨t mean a member of his family。 
    I felt the blood empty from my face。 
    ^Victoria�拭院�I choked。 
    ^It¨s not a scent I recognize。 ̄ 
    ^One of the Volturi�察院�I guessed。 
    ^Probably。 ̄ 
    ^When�拭院�
    ^That¨s why I think it must have been them ! it wasn¨t long ago�察�early this morning while Charlie was 
sleeping。 And whoever it was didn¨t touch him�察�so there must have been another purpose。 ̄ 
    ^Looking for me。 ̄ 
    He didn¨t answer。 His body was frozen�察�a statue。 
    ^What are you two hissing about in here�拭院�Charlie asked suspiciously�察�rounding the corner with an empty 
popcorn bowl in his hands。 
    I felt green。 A vampire had been in the house looking for me while Charlie slept。 Panic overwhelmed me�察�
closed my throat。 I couldn¨t answer�察�I just stared at him in horror。 
    Charlie¨s expression changed。 Abruptly�察�he was grinning。 ^If you two are having a fight 。 。 。 well�察�don¨t let 
me interrupt。 ̄ 
    Still grinning�察�he put his bowl in the sink and sauntered out of the room。 
    ^Let¨s go�察院�Edward said in a low hard voice。 
    ^But Charlie� 院�The fear was squeezing my chest�察�making it hard to breathe。 
    He deliberated for a short second�察�and then his phone was in his hand。 
    ^Emmett�察院�he muttered into the receiver。 He began talking so fast that I couldn¨t understand the words。 It 
was over in half a minute。 He started pulling me toward the door。 
    ^Emmett and Jasper are on their way�察院�he whispered when he felt my resistance。 ^They¨ll sweep the 
woods。 Charlie is fine。 ̄ 
    I let him drag me along then�察�too panicked to think clearly。 Charlie met my frightened eyes with a smug 

grin�察�which suddenly turned to confusion。 Edward had me out the door before Charlie could say anything。 
    ^Where are we going�拭院�I couldn¨t stop whispering�察�even after we were in the car。 
    ^We¨re going to talk to Alice�察院�he told me�察�his volume normal but his voice bleak。 
    ^You think maybe she saw something�拭院�
    He stared at the road through narrowed eyes。 ^Maybe。 ̄ 
    They were waiting for us�察�on alert after Edward¨s call。 It was like walking into a museum�察�everyone still as 
statues in various poses of stress。 
    ^What happened�拭院�Edward demanded as soon as we were through the door。 I was shocked to see that 
he was glowering at Alice�察�his hands fisted in anger。 
    Alice stood with her arms folded tight across her chest。 Only her lips moved。 ^I have no idea。 I didn¨t see 
anything。 ̄ 
    ^How is that possible�拭院�he hissed。 
    ^Edward�察院�I said�察�a quiet reproof。 I didn¨t like him talking to Alice this way。 
    Carlisle interrupted in a calming voice。 ^It¨s not an exact science�察�Edward。 ̄ 
    ^He was in her room�察�Alice。 He could have still been there ! waiting for her。 ̄ 
    ^I would have seen that。 ̄ 
    Edward threw his hands up in exasperation。 ^Really�拭�You¨re sure�拭院�
    Alice¨s voice was cold when she answered。 ^You¨ve already got me watching the Volturis¨ decisions�察�
watching for Victoria¨s return�察�watching Bella¨s every step。 You want to add another�拭�Do I just have to watch 
Charlie�察�or Bella¨s room�察�or the house�察�or the whole street�察�too�拭�Edward�察�if I try to do too much�察�things are 
going to start slipping through the cracks。 ̄ 
    ^It looks like they already are�察院�Edward snapped。 
    ^She was never in any danger。 There was nothing to see。 ̄ 
    ^If you¨re watching Italy�察�why didn¨t you see them send ! ̄ 
    ^I don¨t think it¨s them�察院�Al
