CHAPTER SEVEN
Quickly I pulled Bella into my arms and stopped. Bella was able to smell it as well. I could tell that she was worried.
"Bella, stand behind me if anything happens,"
"No, I'm just as strong as you now. Besides, it's two against one, if anything happens we can take her."
"Bella, please,"
"No, I'm not letting you fight alone."
Suddenly I saw her and she looked right back at me. I felt a sudden pain running through my entire body. I tried my hardest not to show it but I failed. Before I knew it I was letting out a loud scream. I wanted to keep holding on to Bella, to protect her, but there was just too much pain. I felt the pain increasing and before I knew it I was on my knees clutching my head. I faintly heard Bella call out my name. I knew that it was barely a few seconds but it felt like hours of pain. Then it all stopped. I was still on the ground, my hands in my head. I was breathing heavily, even though it was unnecessary. Then I heard a loud bang against a tree.
Before I had time to look up to see who it was I heard, "Give me back my power, now."
Then I heard Bella speak, "Why would I be so stupid as to do that?"
"I could kill you right here if you don't"
I heard Bella laugh, "But then you would never get your power back."
Then I heard an extremely loud slapping sound. I rushed over to Bella to find her on the floor. She wasn't in pain, I could see that, but Jane had just pushed her too far down. I helped Bella up and asked her, "Are you alright?"
Bella nodded, "Yes, I'm fine."
I turned my head back to Jane, "What do you want?"
Jane seemed to look at me for the first time, "Carlisle sent for you."
Bella looked a little shocked and she said, "Where did he know where we were?"
Jane started glaring at Bella, "He didn't. I spent the past four days looking for you two. You hid your scent quite well."
Then I said, "Why was Carlisle with you guys?"
Jane looked back at me and said, "He's not with us. He's still in Australia. But when he last contacted us he told us to find you two, fast he said. He couldn't do it himself. And I'm fast, so they asked me."
I was still confused, "Why does Carlisle need us?"
"He'll tell you when you get to Australia."
I nodded my head then Jane said, "You two should probably just run over there, it's faster this way. A plane will take too long. Now if you excuse me, I should be getting back to the Volturi. Please give me back my power."
Bella shook her head, "You were hurting Edward, I won't give it back until you're far enough away."
Jane said, "I was just having a little fun. I promise I won't do anything. Just give it back and let me be on my way."
Bella looked at me and I nodded my head to her. Then she closed her eyes. When she opened them again I felt a small amount of pain again. I let out a small scream. Then the pain quickly stopped.
Bella said "I thought that you weren't going to…"
"I had to test it to make sure you gave it back to me. Now thank you goodbye."
And with that she was gone and out of sight. I turned to Bella and said, "I guess we should get going then."
So I took her hand in mine and we started running. I knew where I was going, I was good at direction. Bella followed, I slowed down a little for her. I didn't want to be separated from her at all.
Sooner then I expected we were in Australia. (A/N I know, not realistic, but I really didn't know how long it would take so, sorry if it makes no sense, just go along with it.)
I knew we were in Australia because I could smell Carlisle and Esme's scent. They were both strong. I followed the scent until we came up to a big house. Bella and I started walking in normal human speed to get there. I knocked on the door and Esme opened it immediately. Once she saw us she threw her arms around both of us.
"I miss you two so much."
Bella said, "We missed you two. Now why did Carlisle want us to come here?"
Esme said, "I'll take you upstairs to him."
So Bella and I climbed up the stairs until we reached what appeared to be Carlisle's study. His nose was in a textbook. When we entered he looked up and said, "Took long enough. Now we need to start talking."
I nodded my head, and Carlisle said, "I was talking to the Volturi, asking them if there was any showing of the virus before the Volturi started to get it. They told me that one vampire did come to them and ask them for help. When they saw what the problem was, they understood that it was the virus. They told them that we had it."
Bella said, "You didn't know this before?"
Carlisle shook his head, "No, I think that he was the one who stole the medicine from us." Carlisle walked over to his desk and opened a drawer pulling out a piece of paper, "This is his address, I want Edward to go over there because he's the only one immune to it. His name is Bob Smith."
Carlisle handed me the paper with the address on it. He said, "I want you to ask him what he did with the medicine. And if he used it, if he had any left over, I doubt he did because from what was left over, there was none left to cure anyone. I kept the medicine incase the virus came back. This way I could possibly replicate it."
Then I realized, if I left to talk with him I would have to leave Bella here. And I didn't want that so I said, "How long do you think it would take?"
Carlisle said, "Only about a day." He paused, "Bella will be okay here with us, we'll take good care of her."
I looked at Bella, "Love? Are you okay with this?"
Bella smiled, "Of course Edward. I'll be right here when you get back. Okay?"
I nodded my head and kissed her forehead, then I said, "I love you."
She said, "I love you too. The sooner you leave, the sooner you come back."
I nodded my head. We hadn't really been apart for more then a few minutes since her change. And ever if we were apart we were still in extremely close distance to each other. Either in the same house, or at least in the same area. Never over half a mile away from each other. So leaving like this, was terrible for me. But she was right, the sooner I left the sooner I came back. So I looked at the address on the card and started running as fast as possible.
When I got closer to the area I could smell, vampire. I knew that I was in the area so I started walking at human speed and started looking for the address. When I finally found it, I walked up to the house and knocked softly on the door.
I didn't hear anyone come to answer so I used my power, My life has no meaning. My life has no meaning. And I can't even kill myself because I'm a no for good vampire. My life had no meaning. Why am I still here? What have I done to deserve this?
I realized the thoughts were a man's, I figured they were Bob Smith's. The thoughts were extremely similar to the ones I was thinking when I thought that Bella was dead. Quickly I turned away from the memory and turned the knob, it was unlocked. So I stepped inside and followed the voice, My life has no meaning, my life has no meaning, my life has no meaning. Then I got upstairs and I looked into a bedroom, on the window sill sat a very depressed looking vampire. He was looking out the window.
I stepped into the bedroom and said, "Bob Smith?"
He turned his head to me, "You're going to kill me right?"
I just stared at him, I didn't really know what to say. Then he closed his eyes and said, "Thank you."
I shook me head, "No, I'm not going to kill you."
He said, "Oh" disappointment clearly in his eyes. "Then why are you here?"
"I have a few questions for you."
He looked at me, confused, "About what?"
I sat down in a chair next to him and said, "Well, I understand that a few months ago you asked the Volturi for a cure for a disease and they told you to find it with another coven. Is that correct?"
He only nodded his head. His thoughts said, Why is he doing this to me? Why?
But I still continued, "Did you steal the medicine from them?"
He said, "Yes, but it didn't work."
Then it hit me, he lost someone because of this virus. But I was too busy to be concerned about him so I kept asking questions, "Did you use all of it up?"
He said, "Yes but it doesn't matter because it didn't work."
I kept going on, "There were two different liquids that you stole, did you use both of those?"
"Yes, but they didn't work. Why does it matter?"
I took a big breath, "Because the virus is back and that was the only medicine out there, and because you stole it, there is no cure."
He shot back at me, "I had to steal it. Nobody was going to give it to me. I thought that it would save her."
"We would have given it to you."
"It didn't work! It's a lousy medicine, that didn't work."
I shook my head, "It works, there just wasn't enough of it to cure anyone. If you just asked, we could have made more."
He looked at me, "You're telling me, that I could have saved her?"
I slowly nodded my head.
Then Bob Smith put his face between his hands and said, "What have I done? What have I done?"
His thoughts weren't making any sense so I decided to just ask him, "Who did you lose?"
"I lost the love of my life, Kate."
"I'm sorry to hear that."
He looked up at me, "She's gone. And now I have nobody. And I can't even kill myself because I'm a vampire. I have nobody. You have no idea how it feels."
"Actually I do."
"You lost someone?"
"I thought I lost someone. I tried to kill myself."
"How?"
I got up and started for the door, but Bob stopped me, "Please tell me how. I can't live like this. Don't you understand? I loved her. She was my world, my life. And she's gone. I have nothing to live for, please. Please tell me how I can end this hell. Please."
I sighed and turned back to him, I would have probably left, but I knew what he was going through. I knew what it was like to not want to live anymore. And he surely wasn't going to be happy. I knew that it was wrong. I was telling someone how to commit suicide, but I knew what he was going through. I knew it, and I wanted to help him so I told him to go to the Volturi and tell them that he stole the medicine. They would kill him in no time. I was about to run back home when he stopped me yet again and said, "Thank you, because of you, I don't have to go through my life through of misery."
I sighed and I ran as fast as I could back to Bella. I was so happy that I wasn't him. I was going to keep Bella forever. I knew that.
When I got back to Carlisle and Esme's house. I immediately started looking for Bella. When I got to the living room Esme was reading a book, I looked at her and she said, "She's upstairs in the guest bedroom,"
At vampire speed I ran up to the bedroom. Bella was standing, looking out the window. When she heard me coming she turned around and said, "Hey."
Quickly I pulled her into my arms and kissed her with as much passion as I could gather. I loved her and there was no way I was ever going to let her go, no stupid disease was going to change that.
