As I drove Bella home I was lost in my thoughts. I always seemed to be putting her into harms way. The thought of what would have happened if Jasper would have bitten her drives me insane. I wont allow her to become a vampire, I would never allow her to become the soulless monster that my family and I had become. I dropped her off at her house telling her I had to talk to Jasper but that I would be back. She didn't seem to understand the danger she was in just by being around me.
As I walked home at a human pace I was considering what to do. The best thing was for my family and I to leave. Alice had left with Jasper already and I know she would want to focus her complete attention on him so I couldn't call and ask if she saw this plan working or not. I know my family would be very upset about my plan. Carlisle and Esme had come to love Bella as a daughter, Alice and Bella were closer than sisters, Jasper loved her as well but he was afraid of hurting her, Emmett loved her like a sister and has a very strong bond with her, and Rosalie seemed to hate her but only because of the fact Bella had a pulse.
It was actually Rosalie's thoughts that pulled me out of my own and made me run into the house. "Rosalie what is your problem?" I asked her angrily.
" Your precious Bella got attacked just like I knew would happen. Alice an Jasper have already left and now who knows what's going to happen to the rest of us, all because of that stupid human." Rosalie ranted. Before I could even respond to her Emmett was growling at Rose looking like he was ready to attack, Rose stood there looking just as shocked as the rest of us.
" Shut the hell up Rose, Bella is family whether you like it or not. We all know she will become a Cullen and a vampire" he growled at her fiercely " you better get used to the it because she will always be family"
To say that I was shocked would be a huge understatement. Emmett just stood up to Rosalie, which rarely ever happened, for my Bella. I asked everyone to calm down while I explained my plan of leaving. As I did Esme kept telling me that she wouldn't be able to do that but I was finally able to convince them that it would be better for Bella if we all just left. Emmett and Rosalie ;left to go hunt and I stayed to help Esme make arrangements for the family to move while Carlisle went to the hospital to make his excuses. I planned on going to Bella's house before she woke up and telling her I was leaving I just wasn't sure how to go about it yet. I was suddenly interrupted by Rosalie's frantic thoughts as she burst through the door yelling for Emmett. I ran down the stairs closely followed by Esme.
" Rose, what's wrong dear?" Esme asked her
" Emmett and I were hunting and we split up after he caught scent of his prey, when I was finished I tried to find him but I lost his scent in the river and I can't find him now." her voice cracking with emotion. I was trying to calm Rosalie down while Esme was on the phone with Carlisle telling him what was happening from what I could over hear of their phone call he was on his way home and he was going to call Alice to come home and help us figure this out. Alice would be a great help with her visions.
Esme spoke with Jasper and apparently they would be coming home but it would take a few hours as they had gone really far to hunt. Carlisle got home half an hour after Rose had got here, he sat down and had Rose retell what had happened with Emmett then they went back to where Rose and Emmett had been hunting to see if Carlisle would be able to pick up his scent. I wanted to go to Bella and make sure she was alright but I thought that might be in poor taste since my brother was missing. I was hoping Alice would be able to shed some light on the situation or Carlisle whenever they all got here. Esme was frantic as she paced worried about her mate as well as all her children that weren't at home with her. Suddenly I felt so useless, my brother was missing and I couldn't even barely protect the woman I love. What the hell was I good for?
" Your not useless Edward, I'm the one who cant control my urges" Jasper said sadly as he walked through the door.
" Jasper this isn't your fault its mine and I'm sorry" I told him
" It isn't either of your faults so stop your whining the both of you. Your plan Edward, the one you have to save Bella. It wont work, it will devastate her till you come back which you will!" Alice came in seething as she spoke to me. " Carlisle and Rose will be here in 5 minutes and then I can tell you what Emmett has been up to."
