DARKNESS OF DAYLIGHT

Chapter 1

Letter

The day started out like any other day. I would try my best to get Renesme up, and Bella would go over to Jacob's cabin, right behind our cozy cottage, and get him up. Bella didn't have to try hard to get Jake up because as soon as Bella said, "Nessie is waiting for you," he would jump up out of bed and run to meet her at our kitchen table.

The only thing that was different was were Bella and Renesme's thoughts. I could not here thoughts from both of them. That led me to one conclusion. Bella had her shield over both of them to hide something from me.

"Bella, can I talk to you for a minute, love." I demanded, not asking because I needed to know what was going on.

Usually everyday Bella would let her shield unlock itself from surrounding her, to let me hear her thoughts. The only time she let it surround her was when something was trounbling her or not going well.

I gestured for her to come with me into the living room, so Nessie and Jacod couldn't hear our conversation.

"What's up, Edward?" Bella asked impatiently.

"I don't know what's up because I can't read your's or Nessie's thoughts?" I stated.

Bella looked away from me and then looked back at me, her eyes filled with worry. Now I knew something was up.

"Why do you always have to hear everyone's thoughts? Can't you just quit thinking of yourself for once and let us think without anyone listening to us?" Bella screamed, her eyes going black with furry and anger.

I knew Jake and Nessie heard her because I could now hear Jake's thoughts and he was now rushing to sneak a peek at all the commotion.

I wonder what Edward did now to tick her off, Jacob thought. It seems like the last few days he always does something wrong. It must be a woman thing......Jacob's thoughts trailed off.

Jacob had a point. Just yeaturday I had asked Bella how was you're day, and she just snapped. Renesme also. Two days ago we were on a hunting trip and I asked her if she wanted a piggyback ride and she just snapped as well.

All of a sudden, I couldn't hear Jacob anymore.

"Bella. It's not my fault that I read minds. It's part of who I am." I said assuring her that I meant no harm. "You know that I love both my girls and I just wanted to help you girls with whatever is wrong." I really didn't mean no harm I'm listening to her thoughts.

"If you loved us, you would try to quit listening to our thoughts, so we can have some privacy." Bella said emphasizing each word to make her point straight. "Jake, Nessie, quit listening to us and go get ready for school." She ordered to them, still glaring at me with fear but still with anger in her eyes.

"Fine, Isabella. I won't listen anymore." I said monetonely.

I stalked out of the room and upstairs to get ready for the first day of school in Alaska.

Alice had chosen all of our first day of school outfits for Bella, Nessie, Jake, and I. Each were in our rooms and folded neatly and orderly on top of our prop. Which humans call a bed. Alice had set Jake and Nessie's in their room on top of their dresser's.

I was so angry with Bella right nowm that I got dressed and sped down the stairs and up to where the rest of the family lives. I needed to talk to Alice. Maybe she would know what was wrong with Bella and why she was shielding hers and Renesme's thoughts.

As I ran toward Carlisle and the other's house, I heard Renesme screaming, coming from mine and Bella's house. I stopped abruptly and headed back to our house.

"Why did you come now? I thought you weren't coming til' later." I heard Bella squeal in a pleading voice as I ran back even faster.

But I was too late. Everyone was gone, except the scent of werewolf circulating in the living room. I saw Jacob standing there, staring into space.

Where is my Nessie? Where is my Bells? Jacob probably thought towards me.

"That is just what I was going to ask you." I stated. Jake jumped up 10 ft in the air. "What happened to them, Jake?" I asked pleadingly. I am so scared now.

"I'm so sorry, Edward. I have to go find them." Jake said with a sour tone.

He started to run, but I grabbed him and pinned him to the wall.

"Put me down!" Jake screamed.

"First you have to tell me what you saw!"

"Can't you read my mind! Anyways, I didn't see anything. I went to go get changed for school and thats when I heard Nessie scream!" Jake protested.

A low hiss came from within me. What was I doing? Jake wouldn't hurt Nessie or Bella. He loved them too much.

"You are really telling the truth, aren't you?" I mumbled. I read his thoughts, and he was telling the truth.

"Can you let me go now?"

"Oh yes! Sorry Jake! I'm just worried about them that's all. Who could have taken them?" I wondered to myself out loud, while letting Jake down.

"Thank you! Got to go! Good luck finding them! I'll search throughout the forests for their scent. If I do find something, I will tell you." Jake explained as he left and then changed into a werewolf.

Thats when I saw it. A folded up letter on our coffee table, with Bella's handwriting on it.

I opened it and read:

Dear my beloved Edward,

I love you and I always will. I was just thinking that Renesme and I are not good for you. When I first moved to Forks, I thought you hated me. But hate soon turned into love. And I regret that now. I could not tell you this in person , so here it goes: I love you and Renesme does too. But we were never supposed to be in your life. I finally realised that after that night six years ago around my eighteenth birthday, when you left me, that you were right. We are not good for eachother.

Thats why I am taking Renesme and we are leaving for good. Do not blame this on Renesme. I made the decision.

P.S. Tell Jacob that Nessie loves him. Tell Alice that we love her and thank you for the fashion advice. Tell Carlisle and Esme that they are the best parents- in- law a vampire or human could ever ask for. Tell Rosalie we love her and is a great sister.

Tell Emmett not to worry. I will look after Nessie and myself and that he is a great teddy bear. Tell Jasper that he is one of a kind and that we love him and thank him for making us feel cmofortable, when we felt uncomfortable.

And you. Promise that you will not do anything reckless or stupid and DO NOT annoy the Vulturi. Also do not try to follow us.

I love you Edward.

Forever and always,

Bella Swan and Renesme Swan

How could she do this to me? All I ever gave her was all my love and strentgh. Why would she take Renesme with her, also? And why did Renesme scream and Bella pleading for someone not to take her or Renesme?

"Edward! Bella! Nessie?" Alice said while entering the the living room. "Edward, what's wrong?"

"They left." Is all I could say.

"You're kidding, right."

I didn't answer. I was frozen. All I could this about was all of Bella, Nessie's, and my most memorable moments. I couldn't move, hear Alice's thoughts, or anything. I was just having a flashback on my family. It had finally sunk in my two things I loved the most in my life were gone or taken from someone. But why?

"Oh no! It's true." Alice muttered.

That made me focus back to reality. What did she mean 'it's true'?

"Edward! I'm sorry! I have to go!"

"Alice wa-" But she was gone with the wind, within a snap of a finger.

Where is Bella? Carlisle thought when he noticed how distressed I was.

"She left. With no warning. She took Nessie, also. My life. Gone. Forever." I choked out. While crying, but I actually didn't gain any tears though, like a human can.

I'm so sorry what do you want to do. Do you want to look for her? Carlisle thought.

I sighed. "She wants me too promise her that I won't go after the both of them. Carlisle, What do you think I should do?" I pleaded.

"Well son, it's up to you. Even though I love Bella and Renesme dearly, maybe you shouldn't go after them. Maybe you should promise her that you won't go after her."Carlisle answered.

Seriously Edward, Carlisle thought, you should promise Bella that one little thing.

I was so mad at Carlisle. Usually he gave me helpful advice. But I had to say this to get him to feel the pain that I am in now.

"What would you do if Esme left you, and took away you're only child, and also made you promise that you won't go after her." I yelled more then demanding the answer.

"Edward, I don't know. What would I want to do. I would want to go after her."

"Carlisle, you just made my decision. I am breaking a promise that I never made and I am going to find Renesme and Bella."

"Let me finish, my son. I would want to go after her but I would want to do what she wants me to do because I love her." Carlisle continued.

"I made my decision and I am going after them. I feel the need to protect my girls and I am going to find them." At least I hope. Where could they have gone?

I didn't take Carlisle's answer into consideration and I left without a goodbye. I had a feeling deep down inside me that Bella did not leave because she wanted to, more like someone made her. But why would someone force Bella to leave and to take Nessie with her?

All of these questions burned in me, but that might have been beacuse I haven't hunted in three weeks.

I wasn't going to let my thirst from keeping me from finding my loves. Why would they leave because what was the harm with staying with me? What have I done to annoy her? Why would she take Renesme with her and leave.

I stopped with a thud and reality settled in. Carlisle was always right, was he right this time? I started to cry for my missing girls and realized that my life was gone. Forever.
