“So whatever it is, it’s trying to bait people?” she asked. The idea made her skin crawl, and it reminded her of James, and of the Volturi.

“If someone could get a look at it, maybe then we could… I don’t know, figure out what it is?” she said, glancing back to the woman. “But I guess if it’s already kidnapped someone, no one’s really gonna be willing to do that.”
