I collapsed to my knees as Edward told me everything. I couldn't believe that Jacob would do this to me. To my family. To Renesmee. Did he not realize that this put her in danger too? My mind was in a different place completely as Edward was recalling the events which had taken place.

"Bella? Bella are you listening? This is important." Edward said to me impatiently.

I focused at that point and decided it would be better to get this over with rather than trying to block it from my head. He told me everything from how Renesmee had been just inches away from biting Charlie right up to Jacobs explanation to him. I didn't want to listen anymore so I got up and turned towards the stairs. Edward stood up to follow me.

"Just leave her be Edward." Carlisle told him "She needs time for this to sink in."

He let me walk away from him and sat back down in his seat beside Esme glancing nervously in my direction. I continued to walk up the stairs and turned in the direction to walk towards what had been Edwards room. I was to shocked to even be angry at what Jacob had done right now but I figured that it would make an appearance later. I sat on the bed which Edward had bought for when I used to stay over in my human past and thought about the events which had occurred that night. I would have to go and see Charlie, that was a definite although I knew that he wouldn't want to see me. Right now wasn't the right time though, I needed time to think about this and why it had happened. Had my bad luck followed me to my immortal life? That seemed possible. I sat there for about 10 minutes before I heard the whispers coming from the room below.

"He thought he had no other choice." Edward spat "Charlie had gotten suspicious when he had pulled Renesmee away from him so fast."

There was a moment of silence and then Edward spoke again.

"What choices does this leave us with Carlisle?" he asked him anxiously

There was another moments silence before Carlisle eventually answered Edwards question.

"Edward you know what this leaves us with." he sighed

"So we fight?" Edward replied

"If that's what it comes to then yes we fight." Carlisle replied.

I didn't even need to think about who they were talking about when they referred to fighting because I knew instantly. We were going to fight the Volturi.

I sat silently for a moment trying to block out the whispers from my family when I realized that if I hadn't become part of Edwards life, if I had never decided to move to the rainy town of Forks then the Cullen's life's wouldn't be in danger. They would have never needed to risk there life's because there would have been nobody to risk them for. I thought about this for a moment and then came to a conclusion. I would leave, I would leave before I put them in anymore danger than they already were. I knew as soon as I thought of this though that Alice would know what I had decided so I would have to act quick and try not to think about what I was planning to do. I quickly grabbed a pen from the unit in Edwards room and scrawled a messy note on this nearest piece of paper I could see. I placed it on the bed where I had been sitting and jumped gracefully from the window and headed into the forest in front of me. Where would I go? I thought and then I remembered I wasn't meant to be thinking of this. I filled my head with Edward. How much I loved him. How I felt the day we first met. That first night on Isle Esme. Our wedding day, and I ran with much speed into the distance.

I had been running for a while now. I didn't even know where I was. Would they have realized I was gone by now? I knew the answer to that question the minute I thought of it. They would probably be following my scent this second. I thought back to the time when Edward had left me, how much pain I had been in and realized that he would be in that pain now too, and what about Renesmee? Would she have woken at the sound of my families worries at my disappearing act? Of course she would have. Now that I thought of it, this plan wasn't as good as I had imagined. I had done this to save them from the pain, to save them from the danger but now they would be in more than they had. What had I been thinking? There would still be the possibility that they would have to fight the Volturi, my disappearance wouldn't change the fact that Charlie knew what they were, what I was, and if they did have to fight they wouldn't have my shield to protect them. I turned to run back the way I had came and realized that I didn't have a clue where I was, I didn't know which way to go. I didn't have to though because I could hear them. They were close. Edward was the first to enter the clearing in which I was standing his eyes frantic with worry and close behind him the rest of my family followed. I ran towards Edward throwing myself into his arms and kissed him hard on the lips.

"Bella!" He cried the worry not disappearing from his eyes

"I'm fine Edward." I assured him "There's no need to be so worried, it was just a little misunderstanding." I smiled.

"But your note." he said sadly "You said you weren't coming back."

"I wasn't but then I realized I was putting you in more pain and danger by being away. I'm sorry Edward please don't be mad. I Love you."

"Just come here." He laughed the worry finally leaving his eyes

He held me in his arms as the minutes ticked by and I wished we could stand like this forever. It was only then though that I heard the heartbeat and realized that Renesmee was looking over at me from Rosalie's arms. I walked towards her my arms outstretched and she jumped into them placing her hand against my cheek.

She showed me what happened when they realized I was gone, how worried they all were, how worried she was.

"I'm sorry sweetheart" I told her and kissed her gently on her forehead before turning around to face my family.

"I'm really sorry" I told them genuinely.

They just smiled and I realized they were just glad that they had found me. I didn't know how they would have coped with Edward and Renesmee's pain as well as their own if they hadn't been successful. They all took turns in giving me a quick hug before turning to lead me back the way they had came. I heard them gasp and turned to face what had caused this noise. Jacob was standing there in the entrance to the clearing staring at my daughter, my Renesme. Determination in his eyes. Two large wolfs who I recognised as Leah and Seth stood by his side. He was in his human form. I placed Renesmee on the forest floor behind where Edward stood and he crouched defensively in front of our daughter letting out a low growl in Jacobs direction and the anger from what Jacob had done to me and to the rest of my family suddenly made its appearance. I lunged at him, nobody held me back.

I'll have the 5th chapter up as soon as I can as I already have an idea for it but of course you will just have to wait and find out :P If anybody has any suggestions though as to what they think should happen next or what could make it better then feel free to tell me. Keep the reviews coming they inspire me to keep writing.
