Chapter 1. She's Gone…

Edward's POV

I had just finished hunting with Alice, and Emmett, and we headed back to my car.

Suddenly, Alice froze with a gasp, and I read her thoughts to see her vision.

"EDWARD!" Bella was screaming. She had been under her bed, but was now being dragged out. Her fingernails dug into her wooden floor, leaving scratch marks, where her cell phone had dropped…with my ID on it.

End of vision.

Alice turned to me with a horrified expression as I stiffened. Emmett looked at both of us with a confused face.

My phone vibrated in my pocket then, and I didn't need to look to know who it was. I answered on the third ring instead of the first, for I was too shocked.

"Bella! Are you okay?" I said frantic.

"Edward!" Bella whispered.

"Yes Bella?"

"S-someone's here!"

"Who?"

"I don't know!" she screamed, "But they killed Charlie, and I-I don't know what he wants, and I don't know what to d-do! I'm scared Edward!"

"Do you know what he looks like?" I asked.

"He's about your height, I think he has baby blue eyes, a pointed nose, a silver necklace, and dark hair."

I absorbed what she said, and then I heard pounding and scraping in the background. He is human, that was good.

We were all in the car immediately.

"We're on our way Bella! Just hold on!" I shouted, starting my car, and driving at full speed.

"Please…hurry Edward!" she whispered. She screamed slightly when the pounding on the door got louder.

Alice snatched the phone from me, "Bella, listen to me…"

I kept driving as Alice said comforting words to my love. What if I came too late? No! I can't think like that! I am going to save her!

Alice handed the phone back to me, "Bella! We're almost there love." I said when I heard a loud pound.

"I-I…EDWARD!" Bella screamed.

"NO BELLA!" I screamed, knowing she probably couldn't hear me as I played Alice's vision in my head while the real thing was happening.

Bella getting dragged from under the bed, her nails scratching the wooden floor, her phone still under the bed that she isn't talking into.

And then, Bella started to scream. Each one ripped a piece of my heart. Then I heard slush sounds, as if raw meat was being cut. I couldn't bear to imagine my Bella getting stabbed with a knife.

A knife that would be covered in her blood.

"FIGHT DAMN IT! BELLA FIGHT HIM!" I shouted desperate for her to reply as I pushed my car to make it go faster than possible.

And then, her screams just…stopped.

"NO! DON'T YOU DARE GIVE UP ON ME!" I shouted furiously.

And then, her blood curling scream, echoed in the phone, and my head.

"Bella?" I whispered.

No response.

The phone slipped out of my hands, Emmett caught it this time from his seat.

Then, there was a steady breathing on the phone. It wasn't Bella.

Emmett's face held fury, understanding, and pain.

"Whoever you are, when we find you…I swear we will kill you." Emmett whispered with his lips trembling, nearly revealing his sharp teeth.

He crushed the phone in between his fingers, and dropped the pieces on the car floor. And it took everything I had not to sob at what I would find at my love's house.

At Bella's House…

When we arrived at Bella's house, the first thing I smelled, was Charlie's blood, mixed with Bella's blood…

And the unfamiliar smell of the intruder's blood.

I growled slightly, when Alice's thoughts calmed me.

Edward…we have to see if Bella's okay remember?

I looked at her a nodded timidly.

We dashed in the house, the first person we saw was the dead Charlie.

He was laying on the couch with his eyes wide open, his usual dark brown eyes a bit paler. His skin was nearly blue. The TV was on, and in his left hand he loosely held the remote.

If I could of shed a tear I would've. Sure Charlie wasn't the nicest person in the world to me, but I would miss him dearly.

Oh God… Emmett and Alice thought at the same time.

Then it hit us, Bella's sweet blood, it sang to me and made my throat burn, but not in a dangerous way.

"It's coming from her room" Alice murmured, and we all ran up the stairs entering Bella's room.

Emmett quickly put his hand over his mouth and nose, and Alice closed her eyes and squeezed them tight. But I couldn't look away, I stared with wide horrorstruck eyes.

Under her bed started a trail of blood, as if she were dragged out. There were drops of blood around it too. And I just had to turn my head to follow where it lead.

You guys go ahead, I'll stay in here. Alice thought sadly looking at the trail of my love's blood.

Emmett and I ran into the bathroom, and that's where her blood smelled the most desirable.

I froze where I stood at what I saw.

Bella's body, in the tub.

She was fully dressed and was resting in the tub in her own blood.

I saw it happening Edward I… I just couldn't look at her, and I wouldn't stand the pain on your face Alice thought across the room.

No Bella! Emmett thought dropping to his knees next to me. I never realized I was too.

Bella's eyes were still their chocolate brown, but no longer warm in a way that made me melt. They were dull, flat,

And dead…

No, no, no, no, NO!

I never realized I was sobbing until I started to scream and Emmett gave me a hug.

I pushed him away to grab Bella and pull her out of the tub, her pale skin and her clothes were stained with it.

I hugged her close to my dead heart that was even more silent now. I squeezed her tight to me, hoping my love would bring her back.

"GOD BELLA NO!" I chanted at the top of my lungs.

Emmett sobbed and hugged me again. Alice came in and did the same.

"She's gone Edward…"

I looked into Bella's eyes one last time.

Please come back to me… I thought sadly wishing her spirit would hear me.

She didn't respond, her wide, dead eyes looked into nothing.

And they would be imprinted in my mind and heart forever, but my heart was too broken to take anymore of the pain.

Wow… sorry I took so long, I had to clean the whole house before I could get on my laptop. Review please!
