What if he never came back, or left her again?
Chapter 1 – Bella's POV
"Right concentrate on him Bella, nothing else and once you done that we can get this session going, right lets get this sorted whilst Bella's clearing her head, he's killed one so far, and Bella's told us this is his first time in killing humans, he used to kill animals on his parents farm when he was younger and now he's gone and taken Angela" Ben was anything but happy that his wife had been kidnapped, and since he was my boss, well I couldn't say anything to him about shutting up, or losing his focus, so I had to let him continue his ranting.
"Here's that Hanky you wanted Bells, now lets get this over with" Ben's familiar voice said, I toke it and immediately found my target. I felt the blood drain from my face, and it went numb, like every other part of my body does when I do this sort of thing.
I did as I was told and touched the handkerchief I held on to it with one hand, in the other I held a small white rose, it always cleared my brain, and calmed my nerves my fiancée gave it to me. I felt myself get back in touch with the killer, I had to be careful because if he sensed that I was there, I would be held there forever more, or as long as he pleased.
I was connected to him; it wasn't like I couldn't let go because I could, but I didn't want to, he made me interested, I didn't hold back like I had with others to touch the shadows in his mind, they where small, but they where there, like they always are in a killers' mind I aloud myself to delve deeper. I wanted to be at home suddenly, but no, I was in a freaking police station working as a physic'.
He would kill me if he saw me, and my fiancé well; we had alerts for that sort of emergency too. The boys around me sounded like I was starting to freak them out as there breath quickened just as I lifted my head, I knew perfectly well that when I was in this state, I looked paler then bloody he did.
Charlie had disagreed with this entirely, but if he knew that something had changed, and that I was pregnant he wouldn't let me near another police station let alone working near or in one.
I'm not heavy, in fact I'm two weeks, so the bump doesn't show and he didn't know yet, Christ now I think about it, I was the only one who knew unless one of them had seen it in one of their visions.
I knew I had to tell him sooner rather than later, because otherwise he'd guess soon enough what the bump was, he's not thick.
I haven't seen the them in ages, because they are in Alaska, having a great time out in the sun sparkling, my best friend now, my fiancée was there this time when they went, before I had a chance to fall to pieces, and I don't regret him being there.
"Bella, honey, I don't think you are in his mind anymore, because well you have that face on when you're thinking about something else, the colour is coming back slowly into your cheeks, you look alive, again welcome back to the land of the living" Ben joked.
Charlie was still on my mind and he knew about everything, except the fact I was pregnant, but I decided that he had a right to find out first, after all he was the dad, no surprise there I haven't had 'it' with anyone else.
Even though I was going to when I nearly got married to someone or should I say something else one year ago.
I pulled completely out, and opened my eyes, I focused on the killer who we had identified as a man, we knew this because the girl he had kidnapped had worn glasses and his reflection showed in.
I nodded at Ben, and went cautiously into the mind of a killer, that is my job, I go through a killers mind, and God knows what my power, as a vampire would have been like if I can do this as human.
I was off task again, this time my fifth time I decided it was enough how can you do your job when you have to tell your fiancée that you're pregnant?
"Hey, erm, I know there's a murderer on the lose but I'm distracted tonight, is it ok if I go? I'll be back in the morning straight away"
"Yeah go ahead, you might want to stay a couple of minutes let the colour come back into your face"
"Oh yeah, thanks Ben, but erm, I think I'll be alright for fifteen minutes of driving don't you think?"
"I suppose so"
Whilst in the car all I could think about was his reaction, is going to be happy? Sad? Angry? Excited? Emotional? All of them put together? What happens if he's not home when I get there? Omg what am I going to do?
I felt myself going light headed, as I drove along so I pulled into the pullover reached to the other seat to get my handbag inside was a bottle of water, I downed it in one breath and then indicated back onto the road, I was about to pull back onto the road in my old truck, I know it has a loud engine, but if I got rid of it, I would hurt Dad's feelings, besides I love my Chevy. As I was about to pull out of the sideline, a Volvo came into few, it was going fast, I waited for it to pass as it neared me, I recognized it at once. The style of it was all too familiar, the way it sped in almost slow motion was all to familiar as well, and the number plate, it was all too familiar in the way that you could never read it because of the drivers speed they couldn't come back, not after what he did to me twice.
I revved my engine to show them I wanted to actually get out of the pullover, the Volvo went faster, and slowed to an abrupt stop to let me out. I didn't look at the face, but I politely put my hand up to say thanks, my fiancée had replaced the engine on this truck, it can go over 150mph, instead of just 50mph as the tops.
The driver in the Volvo was going to get a surprise, because as soon as I got out of the pullover I put my foot flat out, changed gear and got to 200mph, at first (I couldn't help myself, I leisured myself one glance, it was of shock) I laughed loudly as I continued down the country lane, I knew my way round here. (Dew to my love of motorcycles)
I slowed down to 100mph as I got to our tight bend, knowing too well how fast I was going I hit the brakes, and drifted round the right-handed corner, as you go round there is a small lane that is a short cut to LA push, I quickly went into it without indicating, as luck would have it there was no other cars coming round the corner. As soon as I was in the lane I pushed down on the gas, and tore up the road, I heard above the noise of my engine a quiet, distant purr of an engine.
I slowed down because I knew that it wasn't behind me, it was tearing down the road next to mine. Around two miles between the roads, I pulled out again, and went at a reasonable 45mph, even though it clearly stated 20mph.
I soon saw the cops, and slowed right down to 25mph, they nodded their heads as I went past I smiled back at them. But all too soon I was home, I could already hear all of them, I got my voice ready to yell as Paul opened the door he beat me to it.
"Bye Jake, we'll meet you at bowling tonight yeah?"
"I didn't know we-" Sam jabbed him in the stomach, it made him look my way, seeing that I was in fact ready to yell at them they scurried out.
I laughed as they went Emily made a remark on her way out that made me laugh all the more
"Bella, I am so going to have to learn how the hell you get that respect, so quickly."
We both laughed.
I high-fived all the boys and a couple of the girls, then I quickly turned to Jacob who held his arms open.
"Hey Hunnie, how are you?"
"I would be fine," I went for a dramatic pause, but the look on Jake's face made me continue, it was the look of worry, I could already see his eyes looking for damage, I lifted his head so that his gaze was focused on my eyes, I quickly regretted it though "but I think you deserve to know this first, before anyone else" at this point I heard "Ooh" and "your right man, this is so better than the soaps"
I quickly responded, "Get the Hell out, you nosy pricks, you'll find out later when we go bowling"
"Aw damn it, she heard us" the light padded feet drifted away from the front door, and we saw Embry, and Quil, they waved back at our warm smiles, they looked ashamed, and defeated.
"As you where saying" Jake pressed
"I want you to know some news, I think it's good, but you might think otherwise" I started to ramble.
"Bella"
"Yes?"
"Just spit it out"
"Jake, Hunnie"
"Spit it out love"
"Ok, I'm err"
"Bells"
"Hang on, I'm just trying to word it"
"Ok"
"Right, ok, breathe, Jake I'm pre I'm preg-I'm pregnan I'm-pregnant"
That was one of the hardest things I have ever had to do, and I felt the blood come to my face, then it quickly went and the blackness came. The last thing I saw was Jake looking deep into my eyes, his own filled with love and tenderness.
I woke in Jacobs arms, he smiled at me it was a full smile, I smiled back, he bent down towards me, my heart leapt for joy, and I moved nearer, and he kissed me softly on the lips, it was a warm kiss, he stopped and hugged me. It was then that I realized, that I wasn't at home, no I was in a hospital.
I had a fear of hospitals, a fear that I was going to go into one, and see that family there.
The family that had wrecked my life, who left me to die and Jacob to pick up the pieces twice, but then a thought cam into my head
Would Jake allow me anywhere near them anyway?
The next thing that came into my mind wasn't my thoughts though, and I realized at the same time that the killer was someone who I knew…
Bella? No it's not you. It is never you. I really need to stop thinking about you. Poor Jasper, my emotions, Alice hasn't seen Bella in ages; she guesses that Jacob Black or the werewolf pack are taking good care of her. Otherwise she could be dead, no I can't think like that. I want to crawl up into a ball, why did Carlisle have to work here? Surely someone would recognize us?
