Midnight Sun

Edward, Emmett, and Carlisle head to Phoenix by plane, planning to meet Bella at the airport. At the airport, Edward senses that Alice’s mind is in disarray. Edward realizes Bella slipped away, and Alice explains that she could not go after Bella—she had to wait for the other three for Bella’s only chance of surviving her upcoming encounter with James. They leave the airport and begin searching for a fast enough car to steal. Edward and Alice team up, using their powers together to take the absolute fastest route to saving Bella without getting held up by the police, who would be looking for the stolen car. Alice’s visions of the road ahead begin to be interrupted by visions of Bella. These distract Edward, who thinks about Alice, “her panic bled through her thoughts” (565). He looks for a different car to switch to, mid-highway, and he forces one off the road. They switch into the other car and speed off again. The whole time Edward sees Bella’s near future through Alice’s mind. Jasper helps Edward cope by using his abilities to numb Edward’s emotional pain as they drive towards Bella. When they near the dance studio where James has Bella, they all sneak in.
