LUNAR ECLIPSE

Chapter Four – Bella's Choice

[Bella's POV]

"Umm, sure Emmett, what's wrong?" I joined him in the back of the truck.

"Would you like the long and complicated version or the quickly summed up one?" He hadn't changed a bit.

"Well, I was on my way home, hit me with the quick version I guess." Why was he here?

"Well," he seemed nervous. An emotion she had never seen on a vampire before. "I don't really know how to tell you Bellacakes. Edward left you a letter right?"

"Um, yes, he told me it was my choice. That he wouldn't come looking for me, that I needed to go find him."

"Oh, so you already know your options?" he seemed shocked.

"Well Em, of course I know. I have known for a while that I would have to choose between Jacob and Edward."

"Oh I wasn't talking about that sweetheart." A cruel smile crept across his face, but it quickly became more serious and concerned, "Bellacakes, I'm not talking about your choice in lover, I couldn't care less, either way you're my sister. I'm talking the one about the rest of your life."

"Okay, I have no idea what your talking about." Now, I was truly confused. The rest of my life? And nothing to do with Jake and Edward? What could it possibly be?

"I'm going to start from the beginning Bellacakes, I guess you get the long version. I am going to have to ask you not to interrupt."

"Sure-"

"No interruptions," he snarled.

"Okay I was ju-"

"Bella, please shut up, this isn't easy." He took an unnecessary breath. "When my brother left you, he thought he lost you forever. Then Alice saw your future disappear. Coming back here to save you wasn't Edward's first idea. Originally, he thought you were gone, and he went to something called the Vulturi. Without interrupting, just nod if you know of them."

I nodded frantically.

"Good, that saves me some explaining." Emmett continued. "Well Edward asked the Vulturi to end his life. The head vampire guy, his name is Aro, he took Edwards hand. He has a power kind of like Edwards. But different in a sense that with one touch he can see every thought that has ever crossed your mind. He wanted to see all Edwards past thoughts to find out if there was a good reason to kill him. He spoke with the other members of the Vulturi about it, and he told them everything that he saw. They saw no reason to kill my brother. And so he came home. And sent me, when I saw you were alive, they all joined me."

"What are you getting at Emmett?" I couldn't resist asking, I saw no point in what he was telling me.

"This is why I told you not to interrupt, GEEZAZ, humans are so impatient."

"The saying is Jesus not Geezaz Em."

"Really, why? OH never mind that now, I have to tell you something. The most important thing you will ever hear in your life. Actually, first, you picked the dog right?"

I nodded, feeling guilty.

"Okay, Okay. So Aro's brothers as they are called didn't want to kill Edward, on the other hand, something else in his thoughts intrigued them."

I gulped.

"You did Bellacakes. They saw fit reason to kill you."

"WHAT?" My heart was suddenly racing. Me? What had I ever done to deserve that?

"Again with the lack of patience Bellacakes. You see, vampires have one rule. The only rule. Which is to keep the secret of our existence a secret. They saw you Bella, and how much you know. And that violates the rule. Edward swore there was no reason to kill you, you know how in love with you he is. And the Vulturi, they have a bit of a soft spot for us Cullens because Carlisle traveled with them for a while. That's why they decided that they could trust Edward not to tell anyone else, that his telling you wasn't the problem, but they don't know you. Therefore your knowing, is a problem. You don't have many choices Bellacakes. The are giving you one week."

They wanted to kill me because of what I knew? I wouldn't tell anyone, but I guess that small detail slipped there mind. Kill me. No. I can't, I can't leave Jacob. I just realized his dreams, I can't leave him. And Charlie, I don't want to leave him alone. I just can't die. "But what," I asked, "what do I have one week for? It can't be I only have one week left to live?"

"Well," he couldn't look at me anymore, "that is one option. You see, the Vulturi will come looking for you in one week. If they find you like this, human and holding our secret. They will kill you. They have no pity for your type of being and will not spare you or give you a single chance. On the other hand, they won't kill you if-"

"If I'm not human," He didn't need to finish his sentence. It was starting to make sense to me now. There's no way they could ever trust a human with the secret of the vampires, not when humans are known to hunt and hate them. But another vampire, well then the secret is there own as well, therefore they are trustworthy, "what if I leave? What if I hide from them?"

"That won't work Bellacakes. You know how easy it was for James to track you down last year. The Vulturi, they have Demetri, and he is a hundred times the tracker James was. You go vampire or you die Bellacakes, isn't that what Edward wrote in the letter he left you?"

"No," not even close Emmett, "he told me I had to choose between him and Jacob."

"Well, the poor sucker must have been pretty sure he would win. Poor sucker, haha, get it? Sucker… Anyways, I'm off." And with that Emmett was gone running down the gravel road, fast enough that he was just a blur.

It had started to rain at somepoint during Emmett's story, only I hadn't noticed I was soaking wet until now. I got off the back of the truck and into the drivers seat. I gripped the steering wheel like my life depended on it, only I didn't go anywhere. I just sat there, staring into the trees letting thoughts run through my head.

The most predominant thought being; Jacob Black.
