Bella

"Edward, I'm taking Renesmee to hunt on the far side of the forest, okay?" I called, unsure of where he was in the big house.

"Yeah, that's fine." He spoke, as he suddenly appeared beside me. "But, Carlisle wants to talk to me."

"Oh. Well, we can wait." I said quickly.

"Go ahead, Bella. Besides I went last night," he reminded me before he continued. "But hurry back to me," he said.

"Always." I said.

When we got to the other side of the forest, Renesmee put a hand on my cheek. Mommy I smell some elk. Can I hunt now?

"Sure, but don't stray to far," I told sternly. As she wondered off to find her elk I sat and relaxed in the sun, enjoying that I didn't have to hide today. I couldn't wait till next week. Edward still didn't know I was planning a party for his birthday. Boy, will Edward be mad. It will be worth it though. Suddenly, I sensed something and snapped back to reality.

"Nessie? Nessie, where are you?" I called. There was no answer."Renesmee!?" Still no answer. Renesmee. Oh god. What happened to her? I ran in the direction she went and found her draining the blood from a small baby elk. She looked up and I ran over to her. I wrapped her in my arms. "Oh, Renesmee, you had me worried."

"I'm sorry Mommy." She said, her chocolate brown eyes shining with tears.

"I know you are. I was just worried, Honey." I explained. "How about we race back to Grammy's house?"

"Yeah!" she exclaimed.

"Go ahead. I'll give you a head start." I told her. She noodded and took off running, with a smile on her face. I couldn't help smiling myself. After a second or two, I heard a sound.

"Mommy!" I heard Renesmee scream.

"Renesmee!" I screamed back.

"Mommy! Help!" She screamed again. With that I took off after her. What I saw made me stop dead in my tracks.A pale-blonde vampire turned around. Caius! He smiled wickedly and took off running.

"Stop!" I shouted though I knew it was no use. I chased him for a long time, untill he got so far ahead that I knew I couldn't catch him. I stopped. Renesmee was looking fearfully at me. I locked eyes with her. "I'm sorry. . ."

I turned and ran back toward the house. I didn't make it, though. How could I? I was just pushing myself further away from my baby and I couldn't stand it. I dropped to my knees. A tearless sob escaped my throat. "Edward!" I screamed. I sat still as stone, hoping he heard.
