CPOV

I was sitting at my desk just thinking about the note I now had hidden in my draw. I knew who had sent it; it was the same handwriting from the one I took from Renee's dead hands all those years ago, the same man that had been following us haunting Bella in her dreams and memories for the past 16 years. I remember the night we ran as far away as possible to keep her safe.

MEMORIES…

March 30 1990

As we ran through the cold night I thought of where we could possibly go where Bella would be safe. I had the note that I had taken from her mothers hands hidden away in my coat pocket. Those five words kept repeating themselves over and over in my head. "I will always find her" Renee had known this evil was upon her, that some monster wanted her baby. Was that why she moved here? To protect her baby? But it was all for nothing, she had got her and her husband killed and no doubt if we hadn't been there Bella would be gone too. As I thought these words I heard Edward growl ferociously and speed up as he ran faster ahead of the rest of us now. I suddenly remembered the old little cottage Esme had built all those years ago. It was the only place I could think of where we had a chance to protect her and keep the baby safe for now. I pictured the hidden cottage in a secluded part of the forest for Edward to see, he growled a thank you before running off to the cottage with the baby safely in his arms.

May 13 1990

I was in the study thinking over how we could protect Bella. She was 8 months old exactly today, it had been almost 2months since that horrific night and I still had no ideas. We couldn't hide out here forever, and Bella was growing, no matter what it would never be safe to stay in any one place for a long period of time, we wouldn't be able to keep her hidden from the world forever.

I could hear Edward running through the forest back towards the cottage with baby Bella and I tried to quickly hide my thoughts from him. I heard the front door open and little Bella's laughter quickly turn into cries like usual whenever Edward put her down or was away from her. I walked out into the hall and that's when I heard it.

"Ewid" Bella cried out and everyone was by her crib in an instant.

She cried out again and screeched "Ewid!" so loud I had to block my ears.

"Edward pick her up!" Esme shouted at her son.

Bella settled down as soon as he picked her up and she soon fell asleep in his arms.

"Her first word…" I murmured not really to anyone as I looked over to my son looking down at the baby in his arms in awe.

September 9 1996

Bella's first day of school, seems safe enough right? To let her go to school and have a somewhat normal life? We had moved around a lot we must be safe. If it was safe then why did I have this sinking feeling we were being watched?

"Bella angel if you cover my eyes then I cant see where we're going." Edward chuckled carrying Bella on his back to the front gate. He let her climb down and she stood in front of us, I noticed Edward scanning the area just to be safe and make sure my fears were only fears.

"You ready Bella?" I smiled down at the little girl in front of me. Bella would be 7 in four days and she was the most gorgeous 7year old I had ever seen. She looked like her mother; long dark brown wavy hair, deep chocolate brown eyes, she truly was adorable.

"Can't Edward come with me?" Bella asked for the umpteenth time. We all turned to look at Edward 'their connection is so strong' I thought but Edward was obviously blocking our thoughts as he turned back to the little girl.

"I can't come with you Bella but I wont be far I promise." He told her sadly and hugged her. "I will never leave you Bella." He whispered the promise he had made to her from the beginning and she hugged him back before running off into the school eager for her first day.

I smiled at my family and everyone except for Edward smiled back. It was then I noticed someone standing at the fence watching after a little girl run into the school, he was staring at Bella, our Bella; it was him.

I quickly hid my thoughts from Edward and looked after the little girl running eagerly into the school. I knew she was in danger but we couldn't move after one day. Then I looked over at him; yes, yes we could.

September 13 2002

Today was Bella's 13th birthday, Alice had already warned me but I was still shocked when Bella asked the one question I never wanted to answer.

"Uncle Carlisle?" Bella asked looking up at our family, we were all sitting around the table while Bella ate her dinner and the rest of us pretended to eat.

"Yes Bella…" I said quietly.

"Why don't any of you ever look different or get older?" She asked

"Bella honey you have to understand, we're not… normal per say." Esme said quietly.

"We're not exactly like you Bella." Jasper said sending a wave of calm throughout the room for which I was grateful.

"What do you mean?" She asked. "Edward why aren't you normal?" she said looking at Edward. He took her hand in his and looked her in the eyes as he told her the truth.

"Bella you know how our eyes change color and that we seem a bit different from every other… family." He paused before continuing. "Bella we're vampires. When you were very little only 6months old we saved you and ran." Bella's eyes widened but she didn't react how I was expecting. I thought she would have screamed and run away but she only held onto Edwards hand tighter.

"Well actually Edward saved you, his love for you is stronger than any I've ever seen Bella." Jasper supplied.

"Bella I'm sorry that we lied to you, I am willing to tell you the whole story if you will let me." I said looking straight at her and she turned to look at me as she nodded.

I told her everything I was willing to let her know, I didn't tell her about the monster still following her an that he wanted her but I told her about that night and her response made me feel sick.

"So it wasn't a dream." She murmured softly. "I always dream of my mother screaming as a strange man came into my room and then I would see Edward." She told us. Bella knew she knew what had happened somehow, only not the full extent of it. I couldn't let her remember any more in fear of what we would find out.

PRESENT…

I looked over at the pictures I had of Bella from over the years on my desk. How could anyone want to hurt this angel? I took the note out of the drawer and making sure my mind was closed from Edward I reread it.

'I will always find her

You can't hide her forever

She will be mine'
