"Hey, dad?" I said as I ran down stairs while pulling on my jaket.
"Yes Bella in here" Charlie called from the living room. I ran in and stood in front of the TV so I knew I would have his full attention.
"What did you want then Bells?" He asked oveously keen for me to move.
"Just to tell you that I'm going hiking...on my own"
"On your own?"
"Yep"
"Well ok on to condictions, one that you dont go to far because, well you know about the people that have gone missing"
"Yer sure dad I promise I won't go far, and what was the lat one?"
"You have to call Jacob when you get back, because I can tell there is something up with you to because otherwise you would go with him"
"No dad there is nothing 'up'" I mocked him but he frownd at me so I carried on.
"It just because I really feel like going out side today but he is busy" That was the truth but I was going alone partly because if i did hear Edward voice (the hole in my chest throbbed as I thought about him) then it would be a bit weird for Jacod, 'Oh yer Jacob I forgot to tell you I hear voices in my head, but don't worry I am normal!' No that would never work.
"Ok fine have fun but I want you back way befor it gets dark, ok young lady?"
"Yes dad see you befor it gets dark" I ran out the room and opend the front door but paused befor I went.
"Bye dad love you" I called into the living room were he was to my own suprise because I never say I love him.
"Bye bells love you too, see you later" He answerd with a slight tone of shock to it. I closed the door and ran to my car but paused again befor I started the engin. I had a weird sad feeling in my like this would be the last time I would see this house or Charlie. I knew that couldn't be true but I couldn't ignor the feeling.
I drove down the same way I always do. And soon I stood at the edge of the wood looking into it. I had to do this I had to find our meadow, I lined up the compass with the map as I had seen Jacob do and set off. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, being in the woods alone. Yes it was dark and kind of creepy and yes I wasn't 100% confident I was going the right way but there was something about it that made my relax and enjoy the fresh air, (that was rare for me.) I knew this would take all day because Jacob and I had taken more than half the day to even get half way, so I had come prepared, with food and drink.
I felt like I had only been walking 10 minutes or so when I tripped over a root and fell into me and Edwards (the whole in my chest started to burn as I thought his name) meadow. I looked around me and it was just as beautiful as it had been the first time but there was something missing, Edward. The reason I had done this long hike was so I could hear his voice in my ears, telling me I needed to forget, and that this wasn't good for me doing things that reminded me of him. But no, nothing not even a growl. I sat down in the middle of the meadow and stared at the edges. I stared up through the clearing in the trees at the brilliant blue sky that shone down on me, and closed my eyes letting the sun soak into my skin. I quickly opened my eyes realising I had seen something in the trees that looked like a enormous bird. But no this was no, bird.
