Preview: I ran. I ran as fast as my small legs could carry me. Even when I had grown tired, I kept pushing forward. The rain thrashed against my face and tears ran down my cheeks. What was I going to do?
Bella's POV:
I sat on my couch waiting for Edward to return home from hunting. It had been a long day, and I wanted nothing more then to curl up in his stone arms and drift off to sleep.
A short while after 9pm, I heard the front door slam and thinking it was Edward, I casually walked into the kitchen to greet him.
Upon entering the kitchen, I discovered that Edward had not been the one returning home, but it had been Emmett. I cautiously walked over to him and saw nothing but sadness in his black eyes.
"What has happened Emmett? Where is Edward?!" I stood there in silence waiting for his reply, but nothing came out of his mouth.
"Bella, he didn't want to hurt you….I don't know how it happened! One minute we were about to head out and then…then, they came….I…I'm so sorry Bella." He whispered the last part in hopes of me not hearing. After this he gathered me into a gentle hug.
"WHAT HAS HAPPENED?! WHO CAME?! EMMETT, TELL ME HE ISN'T DEAD!" I screamed into his chest and began to push away. This couldn't be happening. We were supposed to get married and live together. He can't have died!
Emmett calmly placed me on my feet.
"The Volturi came Bella. They took Edward and discovered the dogs. The sent Jane to kill them and Aro is on a plane with Edward right now. It's because he didn't turn you before they came. Bella, they're going to kill him and come after you." Emmet stated with the more pity and sadness then I even thought could come out of person.
I felt my world crashing around. Nothing could bring me out of this shock. I felt my world grow black as I was being lifted up into a pair of stone arms.
