Chapter 3: Destiny Comes Closer

EPOV

When Bella was almost killed, I felt like I was being punished. She was unconscious in my arms as she slowly shifted back bit by bit and I carried her all the way back to the house. "Rose, Alice, I need help," I shouted as I walked in with her in my arms. Emmett came in with Rose and they helped me carry her to our bedroom and we laid her down on the bed. She must have used a lot of energy to save me when she should have run. I sat there with her for what felt like hours but slowly she started to move again. Rosealie had appeared in the room and sat on the other side of her and I looked at her, "I don't know what I would have done if I had lost them both Rose. She should have just left me. I would have been fine," I told her, letting all my guilt flow. She just looked at me, "Edward, she saved you because she loves you. Yes she has a child growing inside her but she has the power to protect her. If you had died, she would have waited till the baby arrived and then she would have joined you. Don't ever think that she would just run. She had already spent ten years running from scientists and now she has you back. She is happier now more than ever."

Rosealie was always a great person to tell your problems to. We both sat with Bella and she slowly started to move. Then all of a sudden she shot up and had tears running down her face and she was feeling her belly. "Ravenna. Where is she?" she said through the tears. I enveloped her in my arms and held her body close to mine, "its okay, its okay. You are both home and you are both safe," I said to her, "She took her. Victoria cut me open and then took Ravenna away from me," she said. Rose came over and sat next to Bella, "Over my dead body will she have my little niece," and I admired Rose for trying to help me calm her down. "He was working for Victoria. He must have," Bella said once she had calmed down slightly. She was right, as I tried to fight him off her all he kept thinking was 'Victoria will be pleased I have done this'. Over and over again he had said this chant and now to hear the words come from my Bella's lips, it made my blood boil. I simply nodded at her and she understood.

*1 Week Later*

Alice was going crazy. Bella had refused to leave the house since she was attacked and it was all because Victoria was back. Emmett, Jasper and I had headed out early this morning to go and hunt. We felt that since Victoria was back, we had to keep our strength up.

Bella was putting up a fight but I knew that Esme would try to get her out, even if it was only for a short time. Bella was looking awfully pale. She hadn't been outside and it was making her weak. She had even held off feeding so each time she ate normal food she wouldn't be able to keep it down. The only thing she kept down was warm soup. I didn't want to be too far away from her so we decided to hunt just in the woods. It was awfully quiet. No birds chirped and I couldn't even get a scent of any animals. A branch snapped behind us so we all turned at once as a large wolf leapt in front of us. I recognised him straight away, "Jacob?" I asked the wolf. It stopped growling and walked backwards to the bushed area. A couple of minutes later, Jacob in his human form walked back out to us.

"Hey Cullen. What are you doing here? Where is that monster that ran through here?" he asked. In his mind I read that he had caught an unfamiliar scent, straight away he and a few of the other wolves followed it, to find a pack of experiments that had escaped the labs when we broke Bella out of there. "Where did they go?" I asked him. If they were here then it meant my Bella was in danger, "I don't know," he replied, "I lost their scent before I ran into you all. Are Bella and the baby okay?" I was worried now. Esme, Alice, Rose and Bella had all gone out for the day. "We need to go back, now!" I said to them. We explained to Jacob what had happened at the lake as we all ran back. He signalled for the rest of the pack to get back to our house immediately. I pulled out my phone and dialled Alice. It just rang and rang but no one replied. I tried Carlisle at the hospital but he was in surgery so now I was out of options.

The wolves joined us on the run back. As we got closer to the house, there was a scent that I had only smelt once when we all rescued Bella, the scent of death. It was the creatures that those idiots had created. The house came into view and we all stopped in our tracks. There where large footprints in the ground and the back door was wide open. "Bella, Alice, Esme, Rose!" I shouted as I ran into the house. It was quiet but as I walked into the living room I gasped. In front of me where the girls tied up with something. It was impossible for us to be bound but they were. They each also had some tape over their moths. I went to Esme and pulled the tape off her mouth. Jasper and Emmett came in and helped me untie the others. The binding they had was like steel and it took all our strength to get it off. I looked around the room. It was literally smashed to pieces and there was blood on the walls. It didn't smell like Bella's blood. I stood up and ran through the house calling her name but I never got an answer.

Everyone had crowded together when I returned and I looked to Alice, "Where is she?" I asked her, "We told her to run. They came in the front door behind us and Bella went out the back door and ran. We haven't seen her since. Those things bound us and then left. That was about half an hour ago." They are after my fiancée so I ran out after her. It took a while but I found her scent and I followed it. I covered quite a bit of ground then I heard Bella scream.

Seeing that shape run beside the car really worried me. It looked familiar but I just couldn't think of where it had come from. Alice was chatting away about how excited she was about my wedding and the fact that I had a baby due any day now. I had hidden my large belly well since I hadn't fed in a week. I couldn't even keep proper food down, only liquid food. Everyone had been trying to get me out and now I was so scared that being out in the open would make it easy for someone to attack us. I released the glamour and looked down at my little Ravenna in my stomach. "Not long now little one," I said to my belly. I spotted Rose smiling at me and I now knew what she must have wanted when she was human. Even though this baby isn't mine and Edward's, I would never give her up.

The house came into view and we all piled out whilst I constantly looked around the place. It was too quiet, no birds chirping and I knew something was wrong. "Esme, something's wrong," I said. They all stopped and looked around whilst I moved towards the door, my eyes locked on the trees where I could just see something big standing there. All of a sudden a loud, close howl sounded and I was dragged into the house by Esme whilst Alice and Rosealie stood in front of the door where one of the experiments stood. Its long claws flexing and its dirty brown fur sticking up everywhere. Its eyes stared right at me and I stared right into them, the deep black eyes with a yellow rim around them. It was like he was waiting for something. "Bella, go out the back, run towards the lake and we will come and get you," Alice said. I didn't want to go but they all looked at me so I slowly walked to the back of the house, cautiously looking around corners in case something was in the house. It was all clear so far when I heard the glass of the front doors and window smash.

Without thinking, I pulled open the back door and ran for the trees. There was a lot of crashing noises coming from the house, getting quieter as I ran farther. I kept on going, panicking about what was happening back at the house and if one of those things was after my baby. All of a sudden I started to get tired quickly as my legs started to give in. I needed to eat something. He wind shifted a little and I caught the scent of a deer and ran to it, spotting it at the same time as I lunged for it, closing my fangs around its throat and drinking from it. The blood flowing down my throat felt really good and I was disappointed when I had drained the deer but I was thankful for it giving its life so I could care for this little one. As I stood up I growl came from behind me and I turned quickly to see a nightmare. Standing in front of me was one of the wolf experiments.

I put my hands to my mouth, trying to hold in a scream and backed up against a tree. It came towards me and stopped right in front of me. This one was different. Its fur was a deep black with streaks of blood red through it. The eyes were not dark and evil but a golden colour. This was weird because it just stood there in front of me and didn't do anything to me but stare. It sometimes looked at me or it looked down towards my belly. Did it want Ravenna? I put my right hand behind my back and grew my claws out, ready to strike if I needed to and kept my eye in the monster. Slowly it reached its hand to my belly and I swung my arm, clawing the side of its face and watched as the blood flowed down its face. Whilst it was distracted I ran and just kept on going but it took me a while to realise that it wasn't following me. I stopped to catch my breath when a sharp pain shoot through my belly, causing me to catch a tree and double over, trying to breath easily. Then it just stopped so I kept on running. Bushes behind me rustled and I started running again when another shot of pain hit my stomach. "What's happening?" I whispered to myself. I couldn't run anymore so I quickly scaled the tree that I was holding on to. The rustling got closer and closer until I saw black hair appear and a man's face became visible above the trees.

On his face where four lines which where bleeding. "Isabella," he shouted causing me to cringe closer to the trunk of the tree, "you can't run from me for long. You have a part of me growing inside you and I don't want it to live. I want you and it dead. I will find you," he said before shifting right in front of me. I had to put my hand over my mouth to stop a scream again. His bones crack and his skin melted off him. It was the most horrible thing I had ever seen. Eventually he left and I slowly climbed down the tree. It wasn't easy with a large belly. As I hit the floor another shot of pain ran through my stomach and I ended up throwing up blood. The pain kept on going and I ended up lying on the ground. I looked down to see small nudges appearing through my skin. Then I was in big trouble as I felt hot fluid fall out of me and more pain come. Ravenna was on her way. I tried to walk but didn't get far as my legs gave way and I tumbled to the ground. I screamed again and again, each time getting louder when Edward arrived. His face was shocked as he took in my appearance. "Ravenna, she's coming," I said and straight away I was in his arms running back to the house.

"Hold on Bella. We are almost there," he assured me. I kept on screaming as each bit of pain that arrived got worse. Then I saw the house come into view and Edward bounded through the back door as I screamed. I looked to see Jacob, Quil, Embry and Paul standing in the room with the Cullens. "The baby is coming," Edward said as he took me up stairs. I had wanted to give birth at home because this would have caused quite a commotion at the hospital if someone from the school had seen me pregnant within only a couple of months. Edward set me own on the bed and Carlisle came in behind him. Everyone wanted to be there for me but I felt really embarrassed hat I was going to have to strip down, "Can I only have Edward, Rosealie and you in here Carlisle?" I asked him once I got my breath back. He simply nodded and asked everyone to leave. I bolted upright as another stabbing of pain hit me and I screamed, "God this hurts so much," I screamed. It was absolute agony.

Rose and Edward where on either side of me, each holding a hand whilst Carlisle put a sheet over my bottom half and examined me, "Bella, you are 8 centimetres dilated. It won't be long now till you can push," he said. I looked to Edward and he was smiling, "You will be okay Bella. I'm here and I won't leave you," he soothingly said. I smiled and felt a tear all from my eye, "don't let him get us," I pleaded. "Let who get you Bella?" Rose asked. "When I ran, one of the wolf experiments caught up with me. It just kept on looking at me and my belly. It tried to touch me but I slashed it with my claws and ran. After the first contraction came I climbed a tree and this man with jet black hair walked into my view. He had claw marks on his face. He said that he knew I had a part of him growing inside me and that he didn't want me or her to live and that he would destroy us both. I watched him change back," I said and then bolted up again as more pain hit me and I squeezed Edward and Rose's hand, falling back onto the bed. I gave out another scream and Carlisle checked me again.

"Okay Bella, I need you to push now. Its time." I sat up a bit with Edward supporting my back and I pushed. I could feel everything and it hurt, "7…8…9…10," Carlisle counted and I relaxed, taking a deep breath. As another contraction hit, I pushed again with Carlisle counting each time. "I see the head Bella, come on give me one big push," and I did. I pushed with all my might and then stopped. "Okay Bella now just take deep breaths," he said, so I did and I started to lay back, "Okay Bella now one more push and your daughter will be here," he said. I got myself ready and I pushed with all my might and then I heard the most amazing sound. A baby crying out loud. I opened my eyes and looked down to see Carlisle holding a little baby covered in blood. I smiled and started giggling as well as crying and looked to Edward. He was smiling so much and he bent down and pressed a kiss to my lips, "Well done darling," he lovingly said. Carlisle handed Ravenna to me once he had wrapped her in a blanket. The cord was still attached so I looked at Edward, "Why don't you cut the cord daddy?" I teased. He smiled and went down to do the honours. Eventually she was free and I looked down at my baby girl, "Hello sweetheart. I'm your mum and this is your dad," I cooed to her looking at Edward. He slowly reached a hand down and stroked her tiny face. I looked to Rosealie and she was smiling almost looking on the verge of tears.

"Thank you Carlisle, for everything," I said to him. He smiled and nodded clearing away some of the instruments. I still had to push out the rest of the placenta so I handed her to Edward and said, "Why don't you take our daughter down to meet the rest of our family whilst I finish off here and even let Rose hold her for a while. I can tell she really wants to." He took Ravenna and kissed my lips and walked with Rose out of the room and left Carlisle and I to finish up. As I watched them both leave the room, I was so happy. My baby was here in the world and she has a loving family. My only fear is if that guy came back for us.
