Takes place in Eclipse.
Bella:
Okay.
Now what will I do now? I do not need to go to work, and Edward is far away hunting with Carlisle, Rosalie and Esme. I am basically free to do whatever the heck I want.
I looked at the cute wolf in the ad that was in my hand and that wolf gave me an idea.
I would go to see Jacob.
I hope that my car would last at least until the border and then I could walk fro there. I really hope that Alice, Emmet or Jasper are not close to me, so they can`t stop me.
I do not think that they would let me to go and see my best friend who happened to be a werewolf.
I jumped in the car and dumped the ads to the passenger seat.
I tried to start the car but it did not immediately get going. However then my car took off, finally.
And now I would really like to say that I raced to the border, but it would be a lie. My old car was on it`s extreme when it was going 90 km/h. And my gas as running out. So the best I could do was to drive 40 km/h. And I prayed that it would be enough.
I drove for a moment, without any problems, but then the problems started to appear.
First, I'm gonna run out of gas in five.
Second: two shady creatures had gone past me, in humanly impossible speed, and I think I know who they are.
I already know that I am gonna be in trouble.
The first problem I had to deal with first first: I ran out of gas. I called the towing company for advice and they said that they are gonna come and get my beloved car later and that I could just leave it in place, if it was not disturbing the traffic.
No one ever came here so I figured that it would be okay to just leave it be.
I started to walk because I stumble when I run. And to be realistic there is no way that they would not catch me, right? I could just as well get caught with no mud on my face.
I walked and walked and walked, for hours. Well at least it felt like hours.
Then I saw a bike rent shop.
I started to run towards it and I fell only once. So that was great.
I went in and asked what would it cost to rent the crappiest bike they had. When he told me the price I just gave him the cash and took the bike.
It was a red bike that was rusty and it had a stupid basket that was about to break down. On top of it all, there was a childish flag attached to the bike.
If, and when the Cullens would catch me they would so laugh at me.
I looked ridiculous.
And the worts case scenario is that Emmett will see me. He would never let me forget this bike.
I rode as hard as I dared and I fell only twice. This is quite a victory for me.
When I fell the second time the stupid basket broke down. I did not have the time to fix it, so I just left it behind. Oh well the next customer would be really grateful to me.
Inside of me began to wake up a glimmer of hope.
I decided that as soon as I would be on the other side the border, I would call Jake to inform him that I was gonna come and visit him.
I arrived at the border square full of newly found hope, but do not to worry I lost all of my hope the minute I saw them all lined up and ready to take me down.
What did I expect? That they would just let me go? Silly me.
Emmet laughed at my idea to go see Jacob while they were in town or he laughed at my bike. Or both.
Jasper seemed angry. Alice seemed extremely angry.
"You were slow, but now I understand why you came so slowly. The ugly truck finally died? And then you got the worlds ugliest bike by far, and came here, falling as you tried to ride the old bike" Emmet laughed.
Then he noticed the flag that I had been hiding behind my back. It was too much for him. He burst out laughing, and he laughed so loud that my ears locked.
I could feel my skin getting hot quickly. I blushed.
Now I was angry at them. It is none of their business if I go somewhere.
"Why did you wait for me?" I asked them, playing dumb.
"Bella I saw a vision of you crossing the border. And then you, you called that mutt. And do not deny it. I saw his name on your phone." Alice explained, trying to stay calm.
"You do realize that werewolves are really dangerous. They are not in control of their own powers," Jasper said with a very serious face.
"I hear you, but I get go where ever I want to, when I want to," I said defending myself.
"So if you'll excuse me now, I would like to continue my journey," I said coldly.
"You're not gonna go there on my watch," Emmet said and moved few steps closer to me.
"Oh, so you have babysitting turns now? Is that what we have came to?! " I basically shouted.
"We will not let you jeopardize your own safety," Jasper said and Alice nodded in agreement.
"Thank you for your care, but I think I am able to self-determine for myself what is dangerous and what is not." I said and got on bike again, only to be lifted from the bike seconds later. Now Alice had my rented bike, and Emmett had me in tight grip.
"Are you going to walk to our car yourself, or do you want Emmett to carry you there?" Alice asked. So they even had a car with them.
"Neither of those options. You are going to let me go, and I am gonna go and say hi to my very good friend " I said trying to sound cool, but it was hard to stay cool when there were vampires against you, ready to force you to come with them. I Would not stand a chance if it came down to it.
"Emmet let go," I commanded.
"I would say that I'm sorry, but I can not let go, but I am not sorry. You are being ridiculous. He really is danger to you. " Emmet said, now sounding like a overprotective brother sounds like.
"I do not understand how this affects anything. i can just as well try to sneak to Jacob`s side of the border tomorrow. and the day after that. And so on," I said questioning the sanity of stopping me from crossing the border.
"So you admit that you are going to try it again?" Jasper asked.
"I do not! I mean that you will probably think something like that, " I explained quickly, too quickly. They knew that i really would try to go there again, on the first chance that I would get.
"I knew it!" Jasper said and I knew it would be useless to try to convince him something else.
"Respond to the question."
"You are now rescued from that mutt, and the people who rescued you are gonna make sure you do not get in trouble before Edward comes back" Alice said, avoiding the question.
"And what does that mean?" I asked suspiciously.
"Ahem, uh ... hmmm. Would you please tell her Jasper?" Alice requested.
My suspicion grew stronger.
"So you are gonna keep me in you sight for on day? After all, it is only one day? Right? " I asked with panic growing inside of me. Alice just looked down at the bike.
I can not be without Edward much longer than 24 hours.
I felt how Jasper was trying to calm me down.
"Jasper, do not do that!" I said with the last piece of my anger emotion. Then I was calm as a saint.
"Emmet could you let go? Or even loosen up a bit? That hurts. Although I am shocked badly, I still can not be stronger than a vampire, " I said calmly.
"Oh yeah. I'm sorry. " Emmet said at the same time as the pressure eased on my shoulders where he had been holding me still.
"Okay. So, Edward is out, and have to come with us because of you probably will repeat the whole "trying to escape to the other side of the border" thingy. Edward and others are gonna take a little longer than usually to come back, because they all went to Denali to see our cousins, "Jasper explained gently, trying not to piss me off.
"So he's gone and your staying at our place... just one week," Jasper said. He tried to calm me down, but I just exploded.
"ONE WEEK?!"
A/N New chapter coming up soon!
