"Hey Alice"
"Hey Edward, are you and Bella still at the stables"
"Umm... well I'm not I didn't go today I don't know where Bella is"
"But you always know where Bella is you can be so unhelpful sometimes"
I sighed and looked at my watch it was 6 "why do you want her anyway"
"well she was suppose to come shopping with me and Rose so she could get an outfit for her date" Her date with him, I thought she liked me, obviously not, a couple of hours with Dani, I sneered his name in my head, and she is going out with him, I didn't have anything against Dani, until now that is, but I'd never been friends with him, he was a decent soccer player, but occasionally he could be an idiot, I thought he suited someone like Lauren or Jessica more than Bella "she said she would meet us at 5" Alice continued "but she didn't show and she's not answering her phone"
"Have you rung the stables?"
I got the dial tone. I huffed I was feeling like crap, and then my sister hangs up on me; Bella will have just lost track of time and left her phone somewhere. My mind started wondering, or she could be with Dani, and be a bit distracted, I felt like punching something. I turned to the nearest wall, and then I changed my mind even though I was angry I wasn't stupid enough to try and punch a brick wall. I let out a frustrated sigh, my mind was to preoccupied with thoughts of Bella to do anything but thinking of her, of her not being mine made me angry, I know that sounds a little possessive but I couldn't help it. I knew I was falling for her, and I thought Alice knew as well, stupid little sister who knows me to well. My phone rang again.
"the stable manager said she remembered seeing her go out at about 2" Alice was speaking so fast I could barley understand her "but she hadn't seen her come back, and she went to check Trigger's stable and he's not there, and his tack and Bella's hat are gone, Edward no one's seen her for 6 hours now, the stable manager said that there's nowhere to go for 6 hours"
I sat up now, "how many time have you called her maybe she's at the mall waiting for you"
"We've rang her at least 40 time between, me, Rose, Jasper and Emmett, Matt, even rang her when Emmett asked if he'd seen her, she's disappeared Edward"
"Right2 my brain was working to its full capacity now " send Rose and Jasper to look around campus phone the soccer team and get them to help Rose and Jasper, you, Emmett, Matt and Jack meet me at the stables"
I hung up and grabbed my hoodie; I charged out of my room and ran straight into Josh and Zack.
"Hey, where's the fire Cullen"
"No one's seen Bella for over 6 hours, and the stable manager said she went on a hack at 2 and she isn't back"
"Were do you want us to look"
"Soccer teams got campus, me, Em, Alice, Matt and Jack are going to the stables"
"Ok, we'll get the house to go and look"
I nodded and started running again, I rounded the corner to the stables as I saw Alice's car pull up, and the stable manager met us at the office.
"She would have gone up to the bridal paths through the fields, she won't be in the fields we've been in and out of them all afternoon someone would have seen her, She could have gone left or right at the top of the field, so you need to go back out onto the road half go up the road on the left half to the right and you will find the end of each side work your way inwards"
We nodded and set of running Alice stayed at the stables in case she came back, me and Emmett went left, Jack and Matt went right. Me and Emmett ran along the side of the road until we found a gate with a sign to the side of it saying bridle path, we climbed over and ran along it the stable manager had said from either end it would be about a mile and a half to reach the gate to the field were Bella would have come onto the bridal path from. Emmett started calling Bella's name and I joined in we had grabbed some flashlights and I was shining it over ever bit of hedgerow scanning every field and clump of tree's every ditch, after about 10 minutes we slowed to a walk, still calling.
I scanned at ditch and saw something at the bottom
"Emmett quick over here" he sprinted over
"Lower me down into the ditch" he did as I told him, I walked slowly up to the shape, I bent down and moved back some branches and leaves.
"Just a log"
I scrambled out and we carried on along the path jogging again, I didn't know if I was glad that wasn't Bella, on one hand at least she wasn't at the bottom of a ditch probably infested with rats and bugs but on the other hand we still didn't know where she was, for all we knew she could be somewhere a lot worse than an infested ditch.
We reached the gate going into the big hill behind the stables; Matt and Jack were already there.
"Do you think she made it back?"
I shook my head "Alice would have called us, lets down the hill and through the rest of the fields"
We continued calling as we made our way down the hill, we walked in a long line, me on the left hand side by the fence, then Emmett about 15 feet across from me, Matt about 20 feet across from him and Jack was walking along the other fence, we were sweeping our torches around still. About half way down Matt started calling frantically I ran as fast as my les would let me go. I reached him at first I couldn't see anything I was expecting a body, Matt let the light rest on a spot on the ground, there was broken beer bottles and also a piece of jagged metal, but what made my blood run cold was the blood, all that blood, there was so much of it, there was several pools of it and a large one around the piece of metal. I gasped out loud and looked at the horror struck faces of my friends.
"We... we d don't know that it's it's... Bella's blood" Emmett chocked out he had a hard time saying Bella's name.
"That's true" Jack joined in he lifted his torch "look there's a trail of it"
We set of following it, when we got the gate at the bottom of the hill the thin trail of blood was replaced by a large pool, there was blood smeared all over the gate and the fence around it, I gulped, who ever this was, they were human there was a clear hand print on the gate.
"Well whoever it was must have stopped here for a couple of minute"
I was numb all I could think about was I can't lose Bella, by this point we all knew who it was but none of us wanted o say it out loud, Jack opened the gate and we walked through into another field this one had horses and pony's in it they all looked up in surprise as we passed through still following a trail of blood. How much blood did one person have in their body? I thought it was something like 8 pints, there was a lot of blood were the bottles and metal were and for the trail to run all this way, how much blood do you need to survive?
There was an ear splitting scream I looked at Emmett before taking off towards the direction of the scream.
APOV
That scream, that scream would haunt me for a long time I ran towards the person it had come from, a stable hand was standing at the far side of the stable block I ran through the stables, horses had their heads over the doors to see what the disturbance was, I gasped as I saw what had caused that scream, there was a pool of blood collecting were the concrete meet the grass, I looked out into the darkness it was too dark to see anything, I grabbed a torch lying on the side and made my way up the field it was only a slight incline the stream of blood was running down beside my feet. I knew what was at the end of the trail, I shined the torch in front of me and as I did so I was bathed in light I looked up the boys were running towards me I took another step and fond the source of the blood. I dropped to my knees I knew first aid I felt her pulse it was there but weak,
"Call 911" I screamed, hoping someone would do it.
"I need more light, I can't see anything" suddenly a flood light was turned on behind me, I didn't look to see who had turned it on. I pulled my jacket off and wrapped it around the gash on Bella's leg it looked like the worst wound, I knew I had to stop the bleeding, Edward was by my side now and I could sense other people around me but I wasn't sure who it was.
"What do I do Alice, tell me what to do"
"Stop the bleeding, she's going to die of blood lose if it doesn't stop"
I pressed harder on her leg wound, "someone call 911 again, and move the horse" out of the corner of my eye I could see Trigger moving closer.
"Matt check her pulse and breathing" I ordered, I knew that Edward was the pre-med student but he wasn't in a state to take charge he was pushing down on another wound whispering to Bella to low for me to hear.
"Still has a pulse... and she's still breathing"
I heard distant sirens, they sounded like they were across campus "hold on Bella, hold on the paramedics are almost here"
Tears were streaming down my face blurring my vision,
"Paramedics are here" someone yelled
"move son let us get to her" I saw Edward move out of the way and one of the paramedics check Bella's breathing and pulse, he put a breathing mask on her.
"Are you ok to keep the pressure on there" the other paramedic said to me I nodded I pressed even more firmly to prove my point, I couldn't let her die.
After about 15 minutes although I couldn't be sure, one of the paramedics moved me away from her leg, he tired something above the wound to replace Emmett's shirt which I had tied there, then he moved my jacket away, he replaced it with a clean bandage, and tie it tightly around the wound lots of times.
One of the paramedics ran off and came back with a stretcher and another bag; they gently lifted Bella's head and slipped her riding hat off. They bandaged the back of her head and the small cut at her hair line. They lifted her onto the stretcher.
"Will... will she be ok" I stammered out
"by the looks of it nothings broken which is lucky because that could have caused internal bleeding, but she's lost so much blood, and she could have head injuries, she's stable at the moment, we are going to take her to the hospital and she'll go into intensive care" he said all of this as they lifted Bella and walked through the stable block. They set her in the ambulance.
"Can... Can I come with her" Edward spoke for the first time, the paramedic nodded and he climbed in the back, I threw the keys to my Porsche 911 twin turbo at Jack and ran to the passenger side, we followed the ambulance and I called Rose and Jasper, they said the whole soccer team and the Alpha Kappa Lambda house were out looking, Jasper said a few of the Alpha Delta girls were also helping. Jasper and Rose called of the search and started heading to the hospital as soon as I called them. At first Jasper had protested about having to look around campus, but I had soon convinced, he was part of a frat house, he was on the soccer team, rush committee, school newspaper, and he coached basket ball as well, I told him to find everyone he had met through all his extra curricula activities and get them to help I knew that if Jasper asked them then they would do it, he was easy to like, but I was far from like I was well past that marker, maybe not love yet, I mean we haven't even been on a date yet, he hasn't even asked me on a date yet, but I knew it would come, I would eventually be Alice Whitlock if I had any choose in the matter, I would fall in love with Jasper, and it may not be an easy ride but it would all be worth it, I can tell. The one thing I wish I could tell was if Bella would be ok. But I couldn't

BLOOD. Blood everywhere. A river of blood. I was mentally kicking myself I was a pre-med student and I let my little sister who had a crash course in first aid when she went on a camping trip sort everything out. From what I can remember she did a good job, as soon as I heard that scream my body shut down all I could think about was Bella, I had held off from asking her on a date to make sure I felt more than friendship for her. She was Alice's roommate I didn't want things to be awkward, but after she accepted a date from Dani I realised that I did feel so much more than friendship, I craved to be with her to see her happy, to see her with me. I couldn't see her knowing she wasn't going to be mine, but if I'd gone to the stables she would have rode in the barn she wouldn't have gone on a hack, I wouldn't be holding her cold hand in the back of an ambulance wondering if she would ever wake up so I could tell her this stuff.
I have never been religious but I sent a silent prayer to god asking him to forgive my jealousy and the consequences of my jealousy, and let Bella live, let her be ok. Even if it meant she went out with Dani and she just wanted to be my friend. Anything.
So what did you think please review I didn't get many reviews for the last chapter and it kind of makes me depressed when I don't know what you all think.
