Edward's POV!

I stepped off the plane and made my way to the main building of the airport, Carlisle and Emmett walking behind me. I was very anxious to see Bella and the speed of the humans around me was agonizingly slow. I would have run, but I knew I had to still keep our presence a secret. I cursed their speed. I cursed the Volturi. But most of all I cursed James.

Every part of my being wished I could kill him myself. I could just imagine myself tearing him to bits. His screams piercing through the air. I could just imagine it now. I tried to think of the perfect thing to say to him if it were to happen. As my thoughts got carried away my anger began to rise. I tried to rein it in without any success. Why did I have to have such a temper? I should be focussing on figuring out a place to take Bella. Somewhere where James could never find her. Somewhere where she would be safe until he was caught and disposed of.

Nothing would give me greater joy than to know that Bella is safe, and that I was the one who made it so.

Even now, the fact that James was in the same city as her caused even more anger to course through me.

I came back to the present and realized that I was squeezing the hand rail I had been holding on to. I didn't really need it, I just held on to it because of habit, so I could fit in better. I almost snorted. Like I wanted to fit in now. Like it even mattered. There were more important things now than fitting in.

Bella's safety surpassed everything else. Things that I had previously thought important couldn't even compare to how much she meant to me now.

I walked through the metal detectors, scanning the crowd for her face. As I did I was bombarded with the thoughts of everybody around me. I ignored them. I wanted to see her more than anything else in the world. I needed to see it, nobody else mattered.

I continued to look around at the crowd. I wondered where she would be. I could almost see her face looking up at me expectantly. I couldn't wait to see her, to hold her safely in my arms. To keep all the dangers away from her.

Suddenly, I heard Alice and Jasper's thoughts screaming at me from somewhere to my right. I heard the urgency of Alice's especially as they screamed out one word.

Bella.

I froze where I stood.

Carlisle and Emmett stopped behind me, questions shooting at me from their minds. Suddenly, I pushed through the remainder of the crowd towards Alice and Jasper. When I got to them Alice explained to me what had happened by means of her thoughts.

"Bella is gone! She was going to the bathroom and she just disappeared! We're not sure if she was taken, but we think she went herself."

"Where?" I struggled to get the words out.

Alice pointed behind her and I ran. I knew that I couldn't run full out in such a public place, so I settled for an unbearably slow jog. It was fast for a human, but way to slow for me.

I reached the food court and stopped. I had caught the scent of Bella and Jasper. I followed it a little bit past the first few stalls, where they split up. I eagerly followed Bella's scent towards the washrooms, where it disappeared behind the door.

I was confused for a moment before I remembered the map of the floor I had seen when I had gotten off the plane. It had shown that there were two doors to the bathroom. One was here and one on the opposite end, leading towards the elevators, right where anyone leaving the airport would want to go to leave.

I raced around to the other side where I caught her luscious scent again. It lead towards the elevators, right where I thought it would. I stepped into one and rode down to the first floor, still breathing in her scent, I could feel the excitement growing in my chest. As the doors closed I saw Carlisle, Emmett, Alice, and Jasper appear around the corner and run towards the stairs. Sure I would have taken them too, they would definitely have been faster, but I couldn't bear to leave the trail of Bella behind, even if it was only for a moment.

The moment the doors opened I was following her trail towards the front doors. I saw the others almost out the doors. I raced passed them, across the parking lot, waiting expectantly for the path to veer off in a different direction. I started to get anxious when it just continued to point straight to the edge of the road.

Thoughts began to race through my mind. What if she had gotten hit by a car? Would James do that to her?

No, he probably wouldn't have. He would want to do it himself, slowly. I had seen that much in his mind that night. Maybe he had taken her somewhere nearby.

I was concentrating too much on Bella's scent to even notice that hers was the only one there. James' wasn't present at all. He hadn't been here, but I wasn't paying attention. I didn't know that.

I was more than halfway across when it suddenly hit me. I stopped abruptly, my eyes widening with horror and alarm. Misery and dejection washed through me as the truth hit me. I walked towards the edge of the sidewalk. It was then that I realized that James's scent hadn't even been there at all. Bella had been alone.

Her solitary trail suddenly stopped.

I unconsciously reached out for the person I knew wasn't there. The person I didn't know when I would see again. The person I loved more than anything in the world.
