Chapter 9
Freedom for Now
Unknown POV
I been sitting here in this lonely hotel that I have been staying in for two weeks now waiting and looking for the one that my kind have been looking for and waiting for. I feel like everything is going downhill I pick up scents of others of my kind and not getting anywhere. My sister is a future seeing vampire with that skill makes her unsure of someone's path and my angel's path is forever changing when she is able to see her future. Still no words from her where my angel may be I wish she could see her. I have been looking forever for that one person to make me whole and not having to forget what has gone on. I feel like she is already missing parts of her visions not knowing for sure where to send me next. All I have ever known is that there is someone out there for me and not knowing what she looks or smells like it is very hard for me to track her myself and depending on my sisters forever changing visions of her. I am going to look around the upper part of the country and hopefully I will match her scent but I have look in thirty four states already and have nothing to show for it. With others of my kind looking already it will be hard for me to find her without any of them knowing. But I guess I must wait more and hope my sister sees more then what I am hearing about her.
Bella's POV
Well I survived one day on my own without any one coming after me I wonder if Billy and his sheriff friend have sent out a search party for me yet. I do not know what I'm going to do I need to think of a plan but right now my head is filled with images of vampires and werewolves almost too much for me to stand. I wondered into the forest again avoiding people who may notice that I am alone. I walked thought the forest and then came into a beautiful meadow and decided I might as well take a break. I sat on a log in the middle and looked up at the sky it looked as if it was going to rain so I got back up and continued my way towards the mountains hoping I would reach them before the down pour. I was walking along a path when I heard a loud howl from behind me it would be impossible for anyone to have found me this quick unless someone has seen me since I left without me knowing. I took off running as fast as I could not wanting to be found yet until I find out exactly what is going on. All of a sudden I see something flash in front of me like a breezes as went through leaves quickly then it was gone. This made me run even faster I ran until I found a small cave knowing that no one would be able to fit unless they were of my height and as skinny as I was. I ran into it and got as far back as I could and could still see a little outside when I seen four big werewolves enter the meadow where I had been standing where I had sat down. They were looking around everywhere and no0t one of them looked directly at me I continued to look on. I was hoping that I would never have to face them face to face. Then I seen why they just stood where they would and looked toward the west opening of this meadow stood seven strange pale beings and they looked a lot like the ones from the papers I had read but I could not tell this far away from them. They met the in the middle with the wolves the wolves towered over them and then one step forward and they were now talking I wish I could hear what they were saying but I didn't want to be seen. One of the wolves walked back into the forest and then Sam walked back out. How was that possible I didn't know what I just seen but I had seen one of them phase into one before were they the wolves. I stood at the edge of the cave there were only five vampires now I could not tell where the other two had taken off to. Then outside the mouth of the cave I heard twigs breaking and then something was standing in front of the mouth now and I heard low whispering but I could not tell what they were saying then in seconds after that they were gone. The werewolves were gone to but the now seven strangers were standing in the clearing and one of the females was staring in the direction of the cave now then out of nowhere someone yanked me out and threw me on their back and walked into the meadow.
"Let me go you vampire I wasn't bothering anyone I'm trying to get away from you and the werewolves now let me go."
He stopped and the older looking male stepped forward and looked at me.
"This can't be her is it Edward."
"Carlisle I can't take her blood much more she is better than anyone else I have smelled it took my strength not to yank her out of that cave and make off with her. "
Now I wasn't the only one looking confused now.
"We better leave before the wolves start sniffing around."
"Do you mind young one if I carry you it will keep the wolves off of your trail and it will be much faster I promise we will explain everything once we are a safe distance away."
"Only if you tell me all of your family member's names." I said looking around at all their faces but i have only heard two names."
"Well I am Carlisle and this is my wife Esme and our children, Edward, Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, and Jasper." And you are.
"Bella."
"So we can go now."
"Yes."
He picked me up just like Sam had before and cradled me into his arms tightly. Then he began to run and it felt like I was on a speed boat but this may be faster than that. We were near a road now and I could hear the cars and semis going down the road there at the edge of the forest there were two cars.
Carlisle put me in a black one and the others got into a jeep. Carlisle and Esme drove me and we set out across the California desert. I must have fallen asleep on our way and when I woke there was a sign saying welcome to Maine. Wow how long was I out I didn't even know. I sat up in the seat and looked around at the view around me we were of course in a forest and it was raining with one sudden move we were on a pathway back into the forest then an opening. At the end of what must have been a driveway was the biggest house I have ever seen. Carlisle motioned for me to come with him and him and Esme took me inside only one other person followed us and the rest stayed outside. We entered what looked to be an entrance way and then entered the living room where Carlisle motioned for me to sit.
"Well Bella it looks to me like you have already discovered what we are how."
"I was kidnapped by some of your kind after words I spent a lot of time researching your kind." "But there is a difference between you and the others that kidnapped me."
"What might that be Bella?"
"Your eyes are golden theirs were deep red."
"We o not feed on humans Bella we only feed on animals."
"Oo I didn't know you could live one anything other than human."
"We can I have a question for you."
"ok"
"Why were you living in La Push with the werewolves?"
"Billy is my uncle." "My mother died when I was a baby and I was sent to him four months ago and that's when everything with the vampires started."
"Where were you before that?"
"I was in Florida."
"That's why they hadn't found you yet."
I was gathering all the information I could possibly get out of what was being said to me. Everything was making me tired and I was hoping that it didn't show on my face.
"Carlisle the girl needs rest shall we finish in the morning."
"Yes, Esme show her her room."
"Come one dear you'll have the room to yourself next to the kitchen."
"Thank you."
I hear one more thing before we got to the door the one he called Edward told Carlisle he couldn't read my mind.
