Previously on Ch.17:
*Bella's POV*
I carefully raced to my truck and almost ripped the door off in my rush. I retrieved my daggers from the secret department I made underneath my seat, and shut the door.
Being careful of anyone seeing me, I slipped into the nearby woods and let the rain hit me as I ran at inhuman velocity to the monsters that I would slay.

Now, Ch.18:

It was a few miles from the school where the gars lay in wait. It would of only took them three minutes to get to the school full of innocent children and slaughter them all - gars fly extremely fast, they're even faster than vampires and werewolves.
Because they're part dragon and gargoyle, they have smaller bodies - but that's what makes them faster and more agile. They're a slimy color of green and yellow with scales, their wings are the same as a dragon's and their legs and arms are of that of a fearsome dragon too. Their head has the same features as a gargoyle - they even have the same round yellow eyes as a gargoyle with sharp-edged teeth.
But their is one down-side to this formiddable creature. They're blind, so they rely more on their instincts of smell and hearing than anything.
When I began approaching them, I sensed how many their were.
Ten in all, and this confused me; normally gars travel alone or sometimes in pairs, but ten?
This is going to take a while. . . Looks like I won't be seeing any of the Cullens for the rest of the day.

*Edward's POV*

I had waited in our Biology II class expecting her to show. . . but she never did. And then a new emotion came over me. Anxiety.
She should be here!
No Edward. Just wait, she'll show up, Alice thought as she had a vision of me bolting out of class in search of Bella.
I mentally sighed, but stayed in my seat till the end of class.

When the final bell rang and Bella had still not returned, I wasn't the only one brimming anxiety.
"I don't get it! She was suppose to have already been here!" Alice was saying as she searched the now hazy future.
"Calm down, it shouldn't be hard to re-trace her steps," Emmett said as we all walked to the parking lot.
"It will be okay Alice. We will find her," Jasper comforted, squeezing her hand lovingly.
"Thanks Jasper," she said back, leaning into him.
When we reached the parking lot, I stopped dead in my tracks.
"Why is Bella's truck here?" I asked, my tone alarmed.
My siblings looked in the direction of where I was looking.
I don't get it, was she here? I inhaled deeply, hoping I would find her mind-blowing fragrance lingering in the air. . .
But there was nothing. Bella's scent was long gone from here.
Alice began searching the future.
"I can't see her anymore!" Alice said as she searched.
"What do you mean you can't see her anymore?" I asked her, though I was seeing it as well.
"I'm not sure. . . it's all really hazy. . . like it's covered in some kind of mist, or fog. I don't know what her next move is," she answered.
"We need to search for her!" I ordered, and they all nodded as we split up to find my only love. . . the only one who has ever captivated me so entirely.
Bella.
