lol i just realized that the first Twilight fanfic I wrote has 23 chappies but anyways here we go!

Leaving

Over the next few days, I saw the change between Bella and Edward. Bella was desperately clinging to him like he was going to dump her and she couldn't let that happen. He was like a glacier, impenetrable by human hands, cold, and a mix of emotions I couldn't read.

I had never seen Bella this frantic about someone she cared for, except in the ballet studio. It was pathetic yet I pitied her. She had someone she could hold onto and not leave, I somehow felt the urge to approach Edward but I wasn't sure if interfering would do any good.

I made up my mind awhile later that I would.

I somehow coaxed him away from Bella for a moment.

"What?" He questioned, his cold eyes freezing my insides but I refused to be intimidated.

"Why are you being so cold to Bella?" I asked, still looking for a flicker of emotions in his golden flecked eyes. He might need to eat soon, I noted, from the black in this eyes.

"I cannot let her be in anymore danger because of me," he said.

"She won't be, she has you to protect her doesn't she? I asked, knowing something was about to happen. I didn't know what but I knew it was important.

"I cannot risk that...goodbye Kyra," he said and gave me a stiff hug.

Warning bells and red flags shouted and waved in my mind. Something was about to happen for sure, he never hugged me.

"Edward!" I called after him.

He just turned and looked at me, waiting for me to say something.

"Whatever you're doing, don't do it!" I said.

He shook his head and walked away, disappearing from my sight.

I cursed.

I sped home quickly, Bella was home...with Edward but they weren't in the house. I cursed again, something was happening and it was scaring me and I couldn't find them.

"You shouldn't curse, it's unladylike," he said behind me.

"EDWARD!" I screamed in surprise. I turned around and punched him.

I clutched my fist in pain as I asked, "What the hell do you think you're doing?!?!"

"Leaving...for good and so is the rest of the family," he said softly and left a note with Bella's name etched carefully on it.

"Why?" I asked, trying to calm myself. Bella was probably out there flipping.

"We've been here too long and I'm not taking Bella to places that will be too dangerous. I cannot love her anymore," he said simply.

"But you spend almost every night with her; you hardly ever leave her out of your sight! I know you can't stop loving her!" I said as he turned his back on me.

"Maybe not but I cannot risk her getting hurt because of me. Please take care of her and make sure she moves on," he said as he walked away.

"Edward you're making a mistake!" I called after him.

I heard him turn his Volvo on and speed out of the driveway. He was gone.

Something told me to find Bella and I went and searched for her everywhere but to no avail. When I couldn't find her when Charlie came home I told him frantically, with tears pouring out of my eyes. I had never really cared for my sister as much as I did now.

As I searched the forest late into that night, I realized my only real friend was gone with Edward too. Alice had left with them...I felt a momentary pang of Emptiness as I called Bella's name. I hoped to god she would be in a good condition, both physically and mentally.
