-Alli, we lost James and Ethan. - Edward speaks at the moment his partner answered the call.

-Is everyone okay? - The brown-haired asks worriedly.

-Yes. - He replies after staying silent for a few seconds. - I'm coming for you. Then you and I will go somewhere, alone. The others will keep searching for Ethan and James. - Alessandra nods, holding onto her grandma's necklace. - I'll do whatever it takes for you to be safe, Alessandra. - He assures, making the girl close her eyes.

Jasper and Alice stand up from the couch where they were sat after hearing Edward's words. They both start packing everything they took out while Alessandra speaks talks with Edward. Minutes later, the three of them head to the lobby. The human stays away from Alice and Jasper, but walks from one direction to another.

The girl jumps slightly on her place when hearing her phone ring. She stares at the unknown number, and, hesitantly, gets even more away from Alice and Jasper to answer.

-My gorgeous Alessandra. - The girl starts shaking by hearing Ethan's voice.

-E-Ethan. - She whispers, feeing her eyes teary.

-Did you miss me, babe? I did. You don't know how many times I've touched myself thinking it was you. - Alessandra closes her eyes, nauseous by his words.

-What do you want, Ethan? - She asks, her eyes still closed.

-What do I want, beautiful? I want you! I want you in my arms, kissing me and loving me! - Ethan yells furiously.

-I stopped loving you long ago. I'll never be with you again. - The human states, opening her eyes, many tears coming out.

-You really think that? If you don't do what I say, your whole family will pay. - Alessandra's breathing starts increasing.

-Don't bring my family into this! - She yells.

-I want you to come to the dance studio in Pheonix. Don't take your beloved Cullens, or the so-called Edward, or your family will pay. - Ethan warns before hanging up.

Alessandra pulls the phone apart from her ear, her hands shaky. She looks back at Alice and Jasper, who talk with one of the hotel receptionists. The girl hesitates for a moment if telling them or not. After making a choice, she turns around, exiting the hotel and calling a cab to go to the address Ethan told her.

As the cab goes, she thinks about the danger her family may be in, how worried Edward and his family will be. The girl contains a sob, and keeps looking through the window, delicately touching her grandmother's necklace.

The girl arrives at the dance studio, and after paying the driver, he drives away. The brown-haired stares at the outside of the studio, until deciding to come in, the place creepily silent.

-You took less than I thought, beautiful. - Ethan speaks, hiding in a stragetic point while watching Alessandra standing on a part of the studio.

-I'm here. Just finish this. - Alessandra orders, looking around. - You've always been a coward, Ethan. You never solve your problems on your own. - The guy starts getting angry by his ex's words. He has intentions of throwing himself at her, but James stops him. - Where is my family?! - Alessandra asks desperately, still looking around.

The girl hears a cackle from Ethan, for which she tries looking at him, but he finds himself reflected in every mirror.

-Your sweet family... - Ethan appears all of a sudden, walking toward Alessandra, who walks backwards.
