Chapter 1: Disappearance

It has been months since his disappearance, and I was slowly beginning to forget him, forget his scent, touch, everything. My eyes stared out at the blue, yellow and red water that lay before me, the white bubbles washing up onto the warm sand that I had buried my bare toes into.

"Bella." I heard a low voice speak as I turned to look at my friend who has been helping me through this entire ordeal. He had finally returned from hunting with his pack. "Are you alright?" He was always worried of me, ever since Sam found me in the woods that fateful night.

"A course I am Jacob." I smiled sweetly, seeing his eyes gleam with happiness as his large body sat on the sand beside him, wrapping his right arm around my waist, my head laying on him.

"Bella, I have something I have to tell you." He spoke softly as a twinge of fear rolled over me.

"What is it Jacob?" I lifted my chin to stare into his eyes. They were filled with sadness.

"Bella. The pack and I are leaving tonight for awhile. We will be gone for a couple of weeks." His words pierced my heart. I wanted to rip my arms from my lap and wrap them around him, screaming that he can not leave. "I will be back, Bella. I swear I will never leave you." The smile that I loved formed onto his face, showing me that he was not lying. I slowly nodded my head as I pressed my forehead into his chest, allowing a few tears to leave my eyes.

"Promise?" I whispered, feeling his arms wrap around my waist and pulled me onto his lap, his gentle lips pressing against the top of my head.

"I promise." One of his hands left my waist to rub soothing circles onto my back. "I will be back. I swear to you on my life." My eyes began to droop as darkness began to overtake my vision, my mind, and my body becoming numb and relaxed. Until the outside world vanished and I was left in a dreamless sleep.

"Bella, sweetie." Charlie's fatherly voice reached me as I rolled on the couch, curling up to allow him to sit. "Thank you." His body forced the couch cushion to lower a few inches as I sat up, staring at the clear glass gleam with light that soon formed into images. Baseball. As always. I watched as the players stood on the plates, swung the bat, and the cheer of Charlie and the crowd before the player ran for his life. I rose to my feet as I walked up to my room. Jacob took me home that night, and he's only been gone for a couple days, yet it felt like years.

"Jacob, remember, you promised." I muttered to myself as the sudden smell of fresh air reached my nose, along with the cold current of the wind. My head whipped toward my window that was now open, blowing my curtains in every direction, a flash of what looked like flames vanished from my sight. "Hello?" I called out, my feet slowly making their way toward my window, seeing nothing but the cloudy skies. "That was wei—"

"Hello Bella." I heard a soft, vicious female voice reach my ears as my body was dragged through my window a quick scream left my lips before a cold hand wrapped over my mouth, the cold air hitting my somewhat bare body, due to only wearing a tank and capris. The woman's claw dug into my cheek and waist, allowing tears to run from my eyes, from the pain and fear that rushed through my body. I impacted onto the wet flooring of the woods, small pieces of wood sliced my skin as I tried to lift myself, a kick in the side told me to stay down.

"Victoria?" I choked out as I stared up at her beautiful figure, her pale hands laid on her hips as her foot laid on my own hip to keep me down.

"Bella, bella, bella. I see that your beloved mate had left you finally. Ha, surprised he didn't kill you for your luscious blood." Her eyes glared down at me as she knelt down, bringing a claw to cut a line into my cheek. I winced as I felt my warm blood run from my cheek, only to be wiped away from her cold finger, tasting my blood. "I don't know how that Edward, or any of those Cullens were able to resist your blood. It's so--- sweet." Her eyes glowed slightly as they narrowed down at me. My fear was now at full force.

"Why are you here?" I asked as her hand gripped around my neck, her claws digging into my throat, and pinched my wind pipe as my lungs began to scream.

"I'm here to kill you, as your mate killed mine. Mate for a Mate." Her tongue flicked from her lips to moisten her own, allowing her venom to glisten in the darkened light. "But I shall not kill you here, no, but instead in the meadow that you dream about, the meadow that you and Edward adored." I felt the muscle in her arm flex as I had instinctively grabbed onto, air rushing through my hair as I was slammed into something hard, it was either a tree or rock, whatever it was, it made me dive into the darkness.

"Edward…" I groaned before my body completely shut down on me. The sudden pain of a kick brought me back to my senses, a soft scream left my lips. My lids lifted from my eyes only to gasp and shut them. She really did take me to the meadow; she was going to kill me in one of my most favorite places. I could feel my coldish tears run down my cheek as I felt my head being ripped up along with my body. Her hand was once again wrapped tightly around my throat. Her cold breath hit my collar bone, a few drops of the venom dropped onto my skin, slightly burning, but only like someone with a fever placed their head on you.

"Get ready to die Bella." Her voice was deep and soft as her fangs pierced my skin, allowing a breathless scream to leave my lips, my body thrashing for air and the pain to stop. The burning sensation I experience from James ran through my system while the feeling of fatigue also washed over me. I couldn't stop her. Her grip was stone tight as I tried to rip her off. The feeling of her cold lips left my collar and her grip on my neck left, my body falling to the floor as I took in needed oxygen, my scream now becoming audible. Tears continued to stream as I heard several gun shots, a small glimpse of Charlie, and a few more men in blue reached me.

"Bella!" Charlie's voice hit me like a stone, my arms reaching out to grab him as the pain of the venom reached my heart. It felt as if it were tearing it apart, artery and veins. His warm body wrapped tightly around my burning body, his eyes filled with fear as I knew the transformation was slowly beginning to come. Days and Days of this pain, and without any other vampire to help me.

"Dad!" I cried out. I could hear my voice cracking through the pain as he lifted me up, running.

"Bella. Don't worry! I'll get you to the hospital! I won't let you die!" I felt his warm tears hit my aching face as I was thrown into the back seat of his cruiser, my screams becoming louder as the pain became worse. This was why Edward left, so I wouldn't be in danger as I was. The sound of nurses gasp hit my ears as needles were shoved into my arms, a small calm feeling hit me. It was like Jasper was with me this entire time. Whatever they had just put into my system numbed the pain, but only by half, but I wasn't shrieking, only whimpering like a wounded dog.

"Chief Swan." I heard someone speaking as a hand left my own. Charlie must have been holding it throughout the entire ordeal. "We are not sure what is wrong with your daughter. Her throat is slightly swollen from the choking but the substance that's running through her system. We just can't figure out what it is, or how to get rid of it. Nor do we know how long it will last, or if it's lethal."

"What do you mean? There's some unknown substance in my daughter that no one has known?" Charlie was furious now.

"Yes. We are thinking of calling one of our old doctors, Mr. Carlisle Cullen, but we have no way of contacting him. He moved recently."

"Yes, I am aware of Carlisle's disappearance. It is the reason why Bella was here months ago. She was dating his son."

"Ah. Yes, I do recall hearing that from a nurse. But, we shall be keeping Bella here, and check on her every now and then." The sounds of their steps faded as I turned in the bed, staring out the window.

"Edward…" I whispered out as the medication began to fade, the burning increasing, everything becoming black.
