Chapter Twenty

“Emmett! I’m so glad you answered. Are you okay, is everyone alright?” Alice asked, panic in her tone.

“Yeah, of course. Why?” I was almost afraid to ask.

“I just had a vision that the Volturi were after you. Where’s Carlisle?” she asked frantically.

“He was with me this morning for the groundbreaking and then he was leaving with Marcus. He should be over the Atlantic by now.”

“Oh no. I’ve got a bad feeling about this, Bear.”

“Why don’t you start by telling me what’s going on, or call Edward? I’m in the middle of a date. Are we in danger, Pixie?” There was no way we were getting out of the limo while I was on the phone.

Klarissa reached out and held my hand. “Do you we need to head home?” she whispered.

I shook my head. Even though Alice sounded like she was really nervous about something, I wasn’t going to act on it until I knew more.

“Have you taken her to eat yet?” Alice was very direct, so I knew she was getting serious.

“Yeah. We’re in the limo, we were just about to get out and go to the mall,” I answered and watched for Klarissa’s reaction.

“He saw you at the restaurant. I’m not sure how, but he saw you and he’s coming after you. He’s very, very upset. I’m so scared for you, Bear,” Alice explained.

My smile from looking at my girlfriend turned upside down very quickly. “Who, Alice? Who?” Klarissa squeezed my hand in an effort to comfort me.

“Caius.”
