Hi everyone! Sorry it took me so long to update! I went home to California to visit family and friends! I had missed them dearly! I was going to make this chapter much longer, but it would have taken me a few more days to get it out and I didn't want to keep you all waiting! I hope you guys like it and please review! Reviews are like icing on a cake or air that we breathe! Lol!

Alice called me and told me that Bella was gone. I didn't believe her though. I had to see her for myself. I ran as quickly as I could back to Forks, Washington and found myself standing at her house. I was beyond confused. I could smell several scents that truly surprised me. I expected to smell Bella and Charlie, of course, but I didn't expect to smell the scent of a werewolf or my brother. His shocked me the most. Why was Jasper here? I could smell him everywhere. All around the outside of her house, under her window, in her tree. I had to get inside and thankfully the front door was unlocked. I was relieved instantly, when I could clearly smell that he had not been inside her house.

And that was when it hit me. He's been stalking her. He has her. He is the reason why she's gone. I could feel the fear and panic rising up inside my unbeating heart and I raced back outside. Her truck was gone; I didn't even check for it when I arrived, he must have taken in it. I smelled the air, trying to figure out where he went. It took me a couple of minutes to figure out which scent trial was the freshest, she headed to La Push and he must have followed her.

I raced over to La Push and stopped just before the treaty line. I can't cross it, but I know they both did. Jasper must have lost it, if he was willing to break the treaty to get to Bella. I could feel the anguish replacing the fear and panic that was within me. Bella was gone forever and it was my fault. I never should have left her alone. I should have at least stayed behind and watched over her from a distance to make sure she was safe. If I had just done that, she would still be alive.

I fell to my knees and sobbed into the ground. I would never get to see her beautiful face again. I would never get to hear her laugh or see the blush rising into her cheeks. Why did I leave her? Why didn't I just stay behind? I killed Bella, the moment I left her behind, I signed her death certificate. She needed me. I was supposed to protect her. I pounded my fist into the ground, hating myself more with each connection with it. I will never forgive myself for what I have done. How will I face everyone back home? They will surely hate me now.

After a few more moments, I calmed down enough to stand up on my feet. I slowly turned around and was about to head back home when I heard a giggle from behind me and then a gasp. I froze right where I was at, afraid to turn around; because I was afraid I was dreaming this. I knew that giggle, I knew that gasp. It had to be her. I took a breath and turned around just in time to see a shocked Jasper locking eyes with me and Bella climbing down from his back. The strangest part of all, was seeing Jasper wrap an arm, protectively around Bella and her take a step closer to him. Was she was afraid of me? Is he was protecting her?

I suddenly felt lightheaded and the world started spinning around me and then everything went dark and the last thing I heard before I hit the ground was Bella screaming my name.
