Chapter 3

EPOV

When I finished congratulating Jasper and Alice I looked back over to where Isabella and I had been sitting but she wasn't there. Assuming she must have just went back to her lodge, I headed off in that direction. Reaching her lodge I went inside to see she was not there. Panic started to creep into my veins and an uneasy feeling took over my body.

I ran over to find her father who was also nearby my father and Jasper. They were laughing and having a good time.

I walked over to them, clearing my throat to get their attention and said, "I am sorry to interrupt, but I have not seen Isabella since your announcement. I have looked in her lodge and she was not there. I have a very bad feeling."

My father's eyes snapped to mine and I saw understanding cross them while Chief Bill said, "She has never gotten along very well with Jasper. She is probably off sulking somewhere."

"While that may be, I agree with my son, we can not be too careful with your daughter. The other warriors and I should spread out and find her," Carlisle suggested wisely.

"Very well, go ahead and I will stay here and celebrate with my son," the Chief replied.

"With all do respect father, I would very much like to go help them look for Isabella," Jasper stated in a strong voice.

The Chief shook his head and dismissed everyone with the wave of his hand then walked away. I would worry about his lack of concern later. I nodded to my father and headed off into the dark to find my love.

I meandered through the deep dark forest until I came upon my favorite waterfall pool. I eased down onto the embankment and rested my toes in the warm water, kicking my feet back and forth. Why did it bother me so much to see Jasper happy? Did he not deserve happiness like everyone else? The only answer I could think of would be no. My mother died giving him life, ripping my happiness away. He caused me pain, so should he not have to feel pain and sadness as well. Of course, I can admit I have most likely caused him pain since he has been born. How many years does he need to give to me before I feel better? Maybe I have been a bit unfair to him I think, I think I will congratulate him when I get back, make a fresh start with my brother. Besides me, he is the last part of my mother still alive. I should embrace him, love him. I lifted my feet out of the water and stood up.

Something shimmering down stream on the waters edge caught my attention and I walked over to see what it was. My breath hitched and I saw a mop of long blonde hair accompanied by a sopping wet body of a young woman. She was bloodied and dirty. I bent down to brush the hair out of her face and to check if she was still alive. Her chest was gently moving up and down so she was alive. Deciding to help her, I quickly got up to run back to the village to get someone to carry her.

I got maybe ten steps before someone grabbed a hold of my hair, dragging me against them as a knife was quickly drawn up to my throat.

A dark menacing voice warned, "Scream, and you will be bled out."

I struggled to turn my head and see who had me, but they would not budge. Fear coursed through my body. Why did I not wait and ask Edward to come with me? I know he would have come. As I continued to struggle, he bound my wrists and tied a cloth around my head to cover my eyes. Soft silent tears fell from my eyes, as he started to unfasten my dress. Once he had it all the way undone, he slid it off my body. He cut the straps which had gathered at my hands.

He then forced me down onto the ground and tied my bound hands to the nearby tree. The he started touching and kissing me all over my body. I could now tell the least of his intentions. I did not want to loose my maidenhood to this monster. I let out the loudest scream I could muster. I was forcefully smacked across the face, effectively stopping me from screaming anymore. He then stuffed some other material into my mouth and tied it in place. I tried to take small calming breaths through my nose. I was powerless beneath him. I felt his hand touch my center, and then his penis at my entrance. I cringed waiting for the pain that was, without a doubt to come, yet it never did. I felt him lift his weight off me and heard branches crunching in the distance getting closer.

"Oh, the gods, Isabella!" I heard someone shout.

I felt a blanket being wrapped around me while someone pulled the material out of my mouth and the cloth off from around my eyes. I was greeted with Edward's concern laced green eyes. He reached down to untie my hands next and then brushed the hair from my eyes pulling me close to his chest.

"I was so worried about you. Are you okay, I mean other than the obvious bruises? Did he take your maidenhood?" Edward asked kindly.

I blushed shaking my head and said, "No, he did not, you were just in time."

"Thank the gods! Jasper got here just before I did and he is chasing down your attacker as we speak," Edward calmly stated.

Just then we heard a loud yell, some rustling trees, and then it was silent. Edward stood with me flush next to his body and began to walk in the direction we heard the noise coming from. He removed his knife from his clutch and held it firmly in his right hand with me secured at his left side. We walked about twenty steps before we found Jasper on the ground motionless blood pouring from his body.

I shuddered and knelt down next to Jasper, I noticed he was still breathing so I looked for the wound that was causing all this blood. I found a cut on the side of his head but it had pretty much stopped bleeding. Then I saw a large gash across his stomach, that looked to be the place that was causing so much damage.

"Edward, please grab my dress, so I can wrap it around his wound to stop the bleeding. We have to get him back fast," I quickly rushed out.

Edward turned and quickly brought it back. We made quick work cutting it into long strips and securing Jasper's wound. Edward lifted him up and we took him back to the village. Once we had him safely in the medicine woman's shelter, I took Edward's hand and led him outside. He quizzically looked at me but followed anyway.

"Edward, with Jasper getting hurt I almost forgot. Just before I was attacked I saw a girl out there by the river. Someone should go find her and see if she is alright," I solemnly told him.

As I said that I heard a commotion and saw Emmett carrying the same girl from the river. He strode in our direction towards the medicine woman's shelter and took her straight in, laying her onto the empty pile of furs. Esme looked up from where she was working over Jasper to the girl and gestured she would be a little bit longer. I walked back in and stood next to Emmett looking at the girl before us. I picked up a wet cloth and began to wipe her down hoping to find the cause of her unconsciousness. I did not find anything serious. She was breathing evenly so I figured whatever was wrong could wait for Esme's attention.

I walked back out and sat down onto a log outside the shelter to wait. Edward shortly joined me and took my hand in his running soft circles on my palm. I sighed and relaxed my head on Edward's shoulder. We had had such a long day today. It was hard to remember all that had happened. Things would be very different for me if my brother and Edward had not gotten there. Remembering back to that kiss, Edward had said he had wanted to do that for some time now. Does that mean he loves me? Do I even love him? Sure I do, but not like that. He is my best friend, my brother, but not my mate. Then why did I kiss him back? I had definitely liked that kiss; there was no doubt about that.

I felt Edward run his hand up my cheek and through my hair. I looked up into his soft warm eyes. I smiled and said, "Edward, I forgot to say thank you! When Jasper wakes up I would like to thank him too."

Edward frowned and said, "Isabella, I am not sure he will recover. My mother told me the wound was pretty bad and he lost a lot of blood. We should all pray."

Tears started to slip down my cheeks as I processed what Edward said. My brother deserved so much better than I had ever given him. I might not be able to ever tell him. How could I have been such a fool?

"Are you happy now? The brother you have loathed for so long may die. Does THIS finally please you, my daughter?" asked my father.

I looked up to my father about to reply. Instead Edward gently got up standing in front of me and said, "Do you not remember what she has just been through? She could have been killed."

The Chief held up his hand in silence and walked into the shelter asking Esme how his son was. Around that time, Alice came rushing over launching herself at me.

She hugged me close while sobbing and said, "I thought I was going to loose another sister. I was so worried about you Bells!"

I was shocked by her pour of affection, but remembering what I had decided out in the woods I hugged her back closely. Edward seemed kind of surprised that I wasn't immediately shoving her off. I smiled up at him and slowly leaned out of the embrace.

"Alice, thanks to Jasper and Edward I will be just fine. Nothing serious happened to me. Jasper on the other hand, we are praying for. You should go in and see him," I finished sadly.

Alice nodded and went into the shelter. After a very short amount of time, we heard Alice scream and quickly ran back into the shelter. Alice was bent down next to the pile of furs where Emmett had lain that girl. She was holding her hand rocking in place with tears rushing down her face. Everyone except Esme was huddled around her trying to figure out what was going on.

She looked up with a huge smile on her face and said, "This is Rosalie, my sister!"

Emmett looked at Alice and said, "Are you certain? You have been with us now for two suns, she could have changed during that time."

Alice scoffed and said, "I would know my own sister anywhere, somehow, someway she survived and found her way back to me."

Edward spoke up and said, "If she escaped from our enemies they could be looking for her. We should all prepare ourselves for a possible confrontation. Emmett, will you look after them here while I go find our father?"

Emmett nodded his head and said, "I would give my life for everyone in this room ten times over Edward, you can count on me."

Esme smiled at her son, nodding in agreement. "I will also look out for them Edward, you do not have to worry, go find your father," Esme said calmly.

Edward walked up to me, kissed my head and left. I looked over at Alice. She looked as tired as I felt. As long as we stayed together we should not have to stay here.

"Alice, would you like to go back to our lodge and get some rest with me?" I asked my adopted sister.

Chief Bill spoke up and said, "I think that is a very good idea. Emmett would you please make sure they get over there safely?"

Emmett got up from holding Rosalie's hand and gestured for us to follow him. I took Alice's hand and we walked back to our lodge. Once we got there, I looked over at Emmett and smiled.

"Emmett, thank you for walking us back," I spoke quietly.

He smiled his goofy smile and said, "Anytime Isa, you know you are my favorite little sister!"

I laughed and Alice asked, "Hey, what about me?"

Emmett ruffled her hair and said, "Oh yeah, I am forgetting my newest favorite sister as well. Night Girls."

Alice and I got on some comfortable slip skins to sleep in. We snuggled in under the furs.

I was about to fall asleep when Alice asked, "Bells, did something change tonight?"

I turned my head looking straight into her gray eyes and said, "Yes Alice it did, I gained a sister and a brother tonight, in all meanings of the word. I am truly sorry for how I have treated you, and especially Jasper. I hope I get the chance to tell him so myself."

Alice smiled at me and hugged me close to her as we fell into a peaceful slumber.
