Believe it or not, I did eventually fall asleep. When I awoke, Emmett was feeding the others. We all had a knapsack with sandwiches. That's all Renee had ever fed us since we left Charlie. That's all we knew how to make. You could say we were kinda dumb. Emmett and I were the only ones who had ever attended school. I was in school till 6th and so was Emmett. I had skipped the 2nd grade, which is why Emmett and I were in the same grade. But that was all. After Renee took us from Charlie, she wouldn't let us go to school. She was afraid that the authorities would find out about us living in a car. She thought they would take us away from her. Ironic huh? Didn't she just kick us out? I think she just didn't want Charlie to have us if she couldn't. Don't get me wrong, Emmett and I knew quite a bit, and I'm sure that once we get to Charlie's, we should be able to function in school at least averagely. We had kept our studies up behind Renee's back. It was the others I was worried about; they had never been to school either. Actually, it wouldn't affect Meggie; she would start kindergarten just as the other kids would. So I guess I should say that it was Jacob and Jordan that I was worried about. They would be entering 4th grade, and I don't think they are ready. I guess we will have to cross that bridge when we come to it.
I sat up, and got my sandwich from my bag and began eating. Once we were done, Jacob asked what we were going to do. I looked at Emmett inquiringly. He just shrugged. Ah, so he's leaving it to me to tell them what we were going to do? Fine then. "Well Jacob," I answered, "We are going to go live with Dad, remember Charlie?" Meggie looked confused, "Mommy said Daddy didn't want us!" she said. I sighed, "Mommy lied Meg, Daddy does love us. Once you meet him you will know it at once." "I hope" I muttered under my breath afterwards. She only nodded. Poor girl, she had been born a few months after we left Charlie. Charlie didn't even know he had another daughter I bet. As soon as we were all done, we put everything away, and we began walking. We didn't know where we were going, but Emmett and I couldn't let the others know that, they would all freak out. So Emmett and I led them in the general direction towards Washington through the forest. No one said anything; we just kept walking.
That night, we stopped and set up 'camp' again. After we ate, we headed to bed. In the middle of the night, there was a loud roar. We all scrambled up, it was a bear. "Stand back!" Emmett said, "I've got this!" "NO EMMETT!!!" I screamed as he ran towards the bear with a stick. He turned his head, "Don't worry Bells." In that split second, the bear grabbed him and was scratching him with its massive claws. "EMMETT!" we all screamed again. It was too late! The bear would kill him! How could I be so stupid! The next thing I knew, the bear fell over dead, but it wasn't Emmett who had done it. No, it was the blonde-haired beauty who stood behind him. She looked not at me or the other children. She had eyes only for Emmett, who was lying on the ground bleeding like crazy. It didn't look like he would make it. Then the girl did something that I didn't expect, she bent down and picked him up. First of all, a girl like her is usually the type who wouldn't pick up a worm, much less a 17-year-old who was bleeding to death. Secondly, Emmett weighed about 250 pounds roughly, how could she lift him?! That's physically impossible for someone of her size. Anyways, so she picked him up, looked at me, nodded, and then she was gone. So was Emmett. She had taken my brother! My only hope. Now I would have to get us there all on my own. But what about Emmett? What if she hurt him? I used to think that no one could hurt Emmett, but that bear just proved me wrong, and if that girl and lift him, and just disappear into thin air like that, then there must be something different about her. She must not be human.
So the question is, what am I going to do about it? I had a strong desire to give up, because I was absolutely positive that there was no way Emmett could get out of that situation alive. I looked around. Meggie was crying her eyes out, so was Jordan. Jacob tried to pretend that he wasn't upset, when we all knew he wanted to cry too, but he was just being brave. One thing they all had in common though, was that they were all looking at me with hope in their eyes. At me, fragile, weak, clumsy, Bella. I didn't know how I was going to ever get us through this alive, especially since I already lost us one sibling, and I would undoubtedly feel guilty about it for the rest of my life. No matter, I would try. I would do my best. That's what matters right? That you try your best? Maybe in some situations, but not this one. Trying my best wouldn't get us through this, I would have to do better, I would have to give it my all, that means I would have to think of everything from now on. No more walking somewhere blindly. I would have to plan every move I made, and it would be hard, but I could do it. At least, I hoped so.
So, swallowing my tears, I got up, gestured to the others to follow me, and lead them out of the forest, and back towards the main road. We slept there for the night. None of us slept much. When I did fall asleep, I woke up half an hour later, with 30 hundred dollar bills lying beside me.
