Chapter 4

I could feel him watching me just waiting to attack me. He knew there was no way I was going to run away so I saw him when he came out of the trees inching closer to me with an evil grin smeared

across his face. He stopped about six feet infront of me smiling even wider since he knew there was no where for me to go. My back was pressed against the car and cars were on both sides of me.

"What are you doing here Jacob" "Well I was going to pay my father a visit when I caught an awful smell coming from here and I stopped when I found you. Alone surprisingly which is strange I wouldn't

have thought Edward would ever let you out of the house alone." "Well I'm not on a leash like you should be. How could you threaten my child like that Jacob? This is between me, you, and Edward

leave Mason out of it." "I am in fact I am leaving everyone in your little family out of it but you. I have a little surprise for you." he said his smile getting bigger. He threw his hand up motioning for

someone to come out of the woods. I could have sank to my knees right then and there when I saw Jane and Felix walk out of the trees. Jacob got my attention again, "You see I figured if I couldn't get

you by myself then I would get some help. I don't think I could have done better actually." "I'm done Jacob. Do what you want with me just please I'm begging you to leave my family out of this mess."

Jacob's grin turned down just a little, "Bella, what's wrong with you? You used to fight for him and now your just giving up?" "It's called sacrfice. I'm giving up my life for my husband and son surly even

you can understand that. Your mother did." "Leave her out of it. You have one day to go home and make Edward think that everything is fine and come back here or your little family will have them

to deal with." I turned to Jane and Felix who were now smiling at just the thought of destroying the Cullens once and for all. My only reply was, "Ok. I'll meet you here at 10:00 tomorrow." They turned

and headed back into the woods and I was left standing there unable to move. I pulled out my phone and called Alice, "Hello?" "Hey I need to go home now. I can make it there faster running so I

will just see you there in a little while." "Ok but Bel-" I hung up and dashed into the trees running faster than I ever thought possible towards home. I was sobbing knowing that tonight would be the

last night I would be held by the love of my life or see my sons smiling face ever. I kept going over in my head how I was supposed to get my Edward without him knowing something was wrong

he can always see right through me no matter what and I couldn't have him getting hurt. By the time I was home I had pulled together a false facade to make it through the night but I knew Jasper

would feel the turmoil and agony raging inside me as soon as I walked in the front door. I walked into the house and was greeted by a very suspicious Edward. "Hey love, I just got a call from Alice she

said you just bolted what happened?" "Nothing I just wanted to get home and I didn't want to spoil Alice's day." "Are you sure?" he asked boring his eyes into mine searching for the truth to the lie he

knew I was telling. "I'm sure. Look I'm fine I just needed to clear my head and a good run helped." "Ok." he said pulling me into a hug. Jasper was sitting in a chair behind Edward eyeing me

suspiciously and I shot pleading looks trying to get him to keep quiet. He seemed to get my point and left the room. I spent the rest of the night with Edward and Mason and tryign to avoid

Alice and Jaspers questioning. Every passing minute seemed like seconds, every passign hour seemed like minutes and before I knew it the sun had come up and I barely had four hours to come up

with an excuse to leave and get to Seattle. Edward had taken Mason down for his breakfast so I had a few mintues alone to get my things together. I pulled out a piece of paper from the printer

and sat on the bed to write out my last words to Edward. With each stroke of the pen it felt like the words were being etched into my heart tearing it apart but I continued.

My Dearest Edward,

Please forgive me but I won't be home again. Maybe someday you'll find me but until then know that I love you and Mason both. I'd die to hear your voice once more to help get me through this because I am

all alone right now and it scares me to think of what is to come. I know what you'll do to yourself once you find this letter but breathe deeply and stay strong for our son he will need you now. If I don't make

it back please please promise me that you will not do anythign reckless or stupid. I love you both so much more than you will ever know.

I Love You Always,

Bella

I folded the letter and laid it on the bed where he was sure to find it when I didn't come back. I walked out on to the balcony and jumped landing on a tree branch and taking off away from my life.

From my world I was just an empty shell now as I ran off to surly meet my death but I swallowed the knot in my throat and kept going to save my family.
