Chapter 6- Edward
It didn't take long to get a pen and paper as I sent my bird to find some. While he was gone I set out for food. It didn't take me long as soon as I picked up the scent of a mountain lion. As soon as I saw it my instincts took over. A few minutes later I found myself in front of a dead lion with my thirst quenched. When I got back I took to composing a letter.
Dear Jacob
Is what we are doing stupid? What if the pack finds out? You would not be safe. Do not do anything stupid for my sake.
Love,
Bella
I sent the bird off. It didn't matter how lonely I was, or what I felt with Jacob, I just wanted him to be safe. But what if Jacob was trying to get close to me so he could hand me over to the pack? No, if he was going to do that he would have already done it.
Doubt clouded my head. It had never been like this with Edward. Pain. Why did I still feel pain? I knew even though he'd left me and my heart had shattered I still loved him. Sure if he was right in front of him now I would yell and slap him, but after that I would forgive him and take him back. But I knew Edward would never stand in front of me again.
I wondered what would have happened if Edward hadn't left me. Would I be human? Would I have agreed to marry him? Would he have changed me? All these questions without answers and all caused by one person. Edward. If he hadn't left, I'd still be happy. I'd probably still be human. I heard a noise coming. I had no idea who it was. It wasn't a werewolf, it wasn't human. I rushed up a tree and sat with my back to the noise.
ED POVI moved slowly through the bushes. Alice and Jasper moved close behind me. We were looking for Bella. All of us had set off once we heard about Alice's vision. It was my entire fault. If I hadn't left Bella, Victoria would have never hurt her. If she'd hurt her... Carlisle and Esme were searching elsewhere in Forks, as were Emmett and Rose.
I heard a noise ahead. I stopped. Then I broke into a run, I found a small clearing. It was empty. What if Bella was already dead? No, don't think that. I looked up and noticed a figure in a tree. 'Is that Bella?' I heard the other two think.
"Bella?" I called out. The figure moved slightly.
'Edward?' The voice was hers, but it sounded like an echo. It was her speaking, but it was like she wasn't.
'Edward, why isn't she talking?' I heard Alice think. Bella was talking why couldn't she hear her?
'What are you doing here?' I heard Bella say.
"I came back, Bella."
She moved and then dropped gracefully to the ground. I expected her to fall, but as I went to catch her. She said.
'Stop' She didn't turn round.
"Bella?" She turned round. I heard Alice and Jasper gasp. Bella was beautiful. Her figure was more defined, her skin was pale and she looked so elegant. But her eyes were blood red. She was a vampire.
"Bella, I'm so sorry." She seemed to look right through me. Then her face turned angry.
"You're sorry. When you left me, my life ended. I didn't even know what I was doing anymore. I lost all my friends because I didn't say anything anymore. Then I was sitting down one day and Laurent came and bit me. I endured pain for 3 days and there was no one there. And when it stopped there was still no one there. I had no one. I couldn't even go to my family or remaining friends for comfort, because I was afraid I'd kill them. And then Victoria showed up and then the werewolves. My life has been hell since you left and all you can say is sorry."
She fell silent.
"Bella," I began 'I wouldn't say that Edward.' I heard Alice think. I ignored her.
"It was for your own good." Bella moved in a flash. I felt a sharp pain in my groin and fell to the ground.
Told you so I heard Alice think.
