"We should go." James said, after she nodded he swung her up onto his back and took off into the forest.

When James started to run Bella stopped breathing, the last time she had been with Edward and the same thing happened.

"Bella? Breathing is helpful when you're alive." James muttered slowing down slightly. When she did not answer him he stopped completely. He swung her around so that she was in front of him but facing him.

"What are you doing?" Bella yelped once she noticed that she was now basically straddling him.

"We can talk better this way." He started running again, "Bella, why did you call me?"

"I told you already." She answered trying to focus on him and not the fact that they were whipping past trees so fast she could hardly see them.

"Yes, I guess you did." He was quiet for a moment, "What do you want?"

"I want you." She said without thinking. Then she blushed. James stopped running, dropped her and turned around hissing.

"Ohh! I'm sorry! I didn't think, I shouldn't have said that!" Bella gasped standing up.

James turned back to her, "It's not that, you just smelled so good. I'm under control now, I'll have to get used to that."

"Oh…" Bella sighed starting to blush again from embarrassment.

James sniffed in her direction, "Easier every time." He picked her back up and started running again.

"Where are we going?" Bella asked.

"I don't know. Will you need to sleep soon?"

"Yes I will." Now that James mentioned it she was very tired. She closed her eyes and started to drift off in James' arms. James ran until he found a small motel just off the highway, he went into the office and quietly got a room. He set Bella down on the bed and left to hunt.

When Bella woke up she looked around and saw James sitting motionless in a chair by the bed. "James? Where are we?"

"We are almost in Canada, I stopped once you were asleep to hunt."

"Oh…" Bella didn't want to think about him hunting very much, she felt bad knowing that it was probably an innocent person.

"It was some deer." James said as if reading her mind.

"It was? I mean… it's not my business."

"I'm hoping that drinking only animal blood will help me be around you all the time. Its already better, your smell is not as strong."

"That's good." Bella said trying to think of something to say. She was saved by her phone ringing. She pulled it out of her pocket and answered it.

"Hello?"

"…"

"Hello?" She repeated.

"Bella…" a voice breathed.

"Who is this?" She demanded sitting up in the bed.

"I'm coming for you."

"Hello? Edward? That's not funny!" She yelled into the phone, but the line was dead. She looked up to see James looking at her as well.

"We should go." She said closing her phone.

"Yes." James agreed standing up and holding his hand out for her. She took his hand and stood as well.

"I need a human minute." She said letting his hang go and heading for the bathroom. She came out a few minutes later to see James on her phone.

"It's Alice." James said handing her the phone.

"Hey Alice." Bella said.

"Hi, I'm sorry Bella. I really tried to reason with Edward but he's not himself. Something's wrong with him."

"It's not your fault Alice, I'm sorry I got you into this. I will be safe with James."

"I know you will. I don't see him finding you anytime soon, but be careful he knows how my visions work. He will try to get around them. I told James to head for an old house Jasper used to live in. Edward won't know about it, so it should be safe until you come up with a plan."

"Thank you Alice and thank Jasper as well. You guys have done so much for me I don't know how I will ever make it up to you!"

"Your family Bella you don't need to thank us. Be safe."

"I will thanks!" She promised and hung up.

"Let's go." James said, they left the motel room and he swung her up into his arms again. As he was running he pretended not to notice her crying in him arms. He did hold her a lot closer then normal though, 'I think I am falling for her. I hate seeing her like this. I can't believe I tried to kill her! How did I not notice my feelings for her!' he thought. When he looked down he saw that she had fallen asleep in his arms again.

'I WILL keep her safe, I'll protect her until I am dead…again'
