FOUND (C. Cullen)

[Olivia's POV]

The morning came and we all prepared ourselves for the trips we'll be going to visit Carlisle's friends from different places in the world to gather back here in Forks for our problem. Though I can't help but feel a little guilty for possibly risking other lives just for the problem the family caused. But we all gotta do what's best to help the ones you love.

It's only odd though that Jasper and Alice weren't around in the house. Emmett and Rosalie tried to look for them all over incase they were just out hunting. But nothing, we decided to wait a little longer for them.

As we all pack and gathered around on the ground floor of the house, then took notice of Sam from the outside who just walked up closer to the house. Seeing the concerned look on his face gives us an edge that he might know where Alice and Jasper is.

Meeting him on the porch outside, Sam hands Carlisle a note

"Alice asked me to give you that. She and Jasper crossed our lands to the ocean last night" he explains

Carlisle reads the note first and looks at the us with sadness plastered in his face

"Carlisle?" I asked with a frowned

"They've left us" he sighed folding the note

Rosalie decides to voice everyone's main question "Why?"

"She didn't say" he shakes his head clearly upset but he always remained calmed. It still impresses me how he can take on to be so quiet and composed in situations. But it also scares me deep down when Carlisle would begin to break out of this calm shell of his, someday.

Bella steps forward "Can I see that?"

Carlisle gives Alice's note to Bella, I peered over her shoulder to glance at the note.

'Gather as many witnesses as you can before the snow sticks to the ground. That's when they'll come'

Genuinely written by Alice's handwriting, it still makes me sad that they just decided to leave without so much of a warning or hint. Or even a goodbye. Bella abruptly turns the note over and we noticed that it's a page torn from 'The Merchant of Venice' by William Shakespeare

Is that intentional? Or just that they have no blank piece of paper that time? Questions were flowing all over my mind but I kept it inside making mental notes of it, when the trip is over. How will Edwin feel about this? What did Alice and Jasper know just so that they had to leave us like this?

Bella and her group went to closest location where they can let the Denali coven see Renesmee. And Esme would take on a solo flight to convince other Irish covens located there. Rosalie and Emmett to another place to meet other nomads that were also a friend of Carlisle's.

Our search began with a trip to Egypt to convince the egyptian coven there. Apparently Carlisle haven't told me much about any details to this coven, but all I know is that it's lead by a man named Amun.

It's been quiet and calm between us three since the flight. Don't get me wrong when I've missed to travel away Forks sometime, but not like in this situation. I would've enjoyed it.
