Chapter 1
Edward's POV
"Edward I can't do this any more," Bella told me sadly. "When we first met it felt like something out of a fairy tale. But I realise now that things can't be that magical way they seemed at first. I'm sorry for leading you on but I just can't do this any more." I listened carefully, not allowing my disappointment to show on my face.
"I understand," I said slowly. "It was just too good to be true. It was silly of me to believe you would love me the way I am."
"No Edward," Bella insisted, her voice soft and comforting. "It has nothing to do with you being a vampire, you are an amazing man, regardless of your species. I just don't think we can make this work, we both want different things. I hope you find someone who deserves you one day," she added, placing a kiss on my cheek.
I hadn't seen Bella since that day over a week ago when she broke up with me. She wanted to stay friends and I could understand that, but I needed some time alone to come to terms with it. I knew we would have to talk soon about the Volturi's order for her to be turned but that could wait.
I heard his thoughts long before he arrived. "Jacob is here," I announced to my family. "And he's furious."
We were ready for him by the time he reached the door which opened as he approached and Jacob was annoyed he would not get the chance to break it down. "Where is she?!" The werewolf demanded, pushing past my father and entering the house uninvited.
"If Bella where here you would have smelt her scent when you arrived." Jasper pointed out, having no tolerance for the immature boy's attitude.
Jacob ignored him and stormed up to me. "I know you've done something," he accused. "Where have you taken her?"
I stood to face him, not deterred by his height. "Believe it or not Mutt," I began, no longer being polite for Bella's benefit. "I don't track Bella's every move, wherever she is, I've no idea."
"You're LYING!" He screamed at me and I didn't flinch. "You did something because you're jealous she chose me over you!"
"Why don't we all just calm down," Esme tried to cut in.
I narrowed my eyes ignoring her. "This is the first I'm hearing of it," I informed the werewolf.
"Oh so it's just a coincidence that she goes missing the day after she chose me." Jacob said sarcastically.
"Just because you don't know where she is doesn't mean she's missing," I told him condescendingly. "I've hardly seen her all week and she's fine."
Jacob forced himself to calm down ever so slightly. "She's not at her house, her truck is in the driveway and her father hasn't seen her all morning." The werewolf informed me and I instantly began to worry. "Her scent leads away from the house but after a few hundred metres the trail disappears, the whole pack together couldn't find her and we've been searching the town and the reserve all morning." Okay, now I'm worried.
"Jasper, Esme," Carlisle spoke up instantly but my eyes were still locked on Jacob's. "Go to Bella's house and see if you can track her. Edward check the meadow. Alice ask around see if anyone has seen her. Emmett, Rose, search her room for clues of where she might have gone. I'll call around and check hospital admissions." Upon my father's words we all sprung into action, immediately doing as he said now we knew this situation was serious.
I hesitated only a second before breaking eye contact with the mutt and heading to the meadow. I did not trust him, he was holding something back.
Authors Note: This is another one of my challenges, this one was postetd by Princess Alexandria. The challenge will be posted on the last chapter. Also, you guys better be appreciating my cover pictures, they each take an average of 2 hours to make, this one took so much effort it made me cry.
