Chapter 8- You Can Run, But You Can't Hide
HPOV
"Dude. Do the girls know why we're going?" Jared said driving. We were in a black Jeep, roaming around the highways.
"Well, I suspect Elyon does. Nixie has no clue." Elliot said, looking at a map.
"Well, Izzy will tell them" I mumbled, and Elliot was patting me on the back.
"Should've done this sooner, you dumbass." Jared commented from the steering wheel.
"Shut it Jared. I stole Nixie's muzzle." I retorted back with.
"All right, all right, children. Behave dammit." Elliot said, folding the map in half. I thought it was my job to tell these hooligans to behave.
"I thought that was my job to tell Jared's hooligan ass to behave."
"Noo. That was back when we were humans jackass."
"Makes no difference dumbass."
"Well, where to?" Elliot asked, trying to get us calm. As if. Jared is always a dumb hyper jackass. I looked out the window. We had been driving aimlessly around the highways for a while, as we decided where to go for our hunting trip.
"Well, Alaska sounds nice." I said, after some thinking.
"Off to Alaska then." Jared said, and took the highway leading us to the Alaska Marine Highway.

"Oh, where are thou dumbass?" I heard Elliot call out. I stifled a laugh. We were playing hide and seek. I know, I know. How lame of us. We're guys. And we're all more than at least 108 years old. But, this version of hide and go seek was different.
"Where'd the jackass go?" I heard Hunter call out. He always got caught first. I hope we weren't going to play tag. That hurts like shit. It's not regular tag. Regular tag does not involve teeth, or tackling, or even silver pellets.
"How the fuck should I know." Elliot said, clearly deep in thought. I kept my mind blank so he couldn't see where I was.
"His bitch ass is blocking his mind. It's blank."
"Is that new? I thought it was always blank."
"True, true."
I held my breath, and tried to keep my mind blank. Yeah. I can be stupid at times. But, when it came to this game I was a legend.
"Stupid dumbass thinks he's a legend at this game." Elliot mumbled, and was looking for me in some trees. Shit. I need to keep my mind blank.
"Oh well. Hey, why does that tree look weird?" Hunter said, his voice coming closer and closer to where I was. Aw shit. I knew I should've made a backdoor to this tree.
"Hey, it does." Elliot said, and soon they stayed silent, their footsteps barely audible to even me. Dammit. They were gonna find me.
I felt the tree I was in shudder, and soon enough the door I had carefully crafted sprung open. Fuck.
"Well, I'll be damned. The jackass can be smart. He hollowed out the tree." Hunter said pulling me out.
"Wow Jared. Do you always do that?" Elliot asked, looking in the tree.
"Yep. But Nixie or Elyon always find me." I said, remembering how they always knew where I was when we all played together.
"Of course." Hunter said, and I noticed he was fidgeting.
"My, my. You look like Izzy when she was craving her drug of performing. Is it me, or is she your drug? Your special little brand of weed." Elliot teased, and Hunter glared at him.
"Nope. He seems even more addicted. Can't you prescribe him something for that Elliot?" I said.
"Nope. Withdrawal can be cured by things other than drugs." Elliot said, smirking.
"Like what? A kiss, may I suggest?" I said, playing along.
"Oh yes, a kiss would help out quite a lot. Although, since it's only been two days, he's gonna need to wait. A week is how long he said he would give himself." Elliot said.
"Ah, yes. A week. Well, Hunter you can wait for another 5 days, right?" I said, laughing. I looked around, and noticed Hunter wasn't around.
"Where'd Hunt go?" I said, looking around. Elliot took his phone out of his pocket, which started playing Teenagers by My Chemical Romance.
"Well, Hunt jumped ship. He's gone back to Washington. And by the looks of it, he went running." Elliot said, showing me the text he got.
Well, dumbasses, u guys have fun. Im going 2 see Izzy. See ya. ~ Hunter
"Well, at least all this crazy shit won't be going down when we're home." I said.
"Yep, we're lucky for that." Elliot said.

I ran, and ran. I soon found myself in Seattle, and went to the house. I knew the girls weren't home at first sight, seeing how Elyon's Black Pontiac wasn't there, and Izzys bike wasn't there either.
I followed their scents until Izzys scent made a crisscross into the other direction. It went on, but it came back, and trailed to the forest. Puzzled, I followed her scent. I heard her voice, as well as that bastard's too. I pushed myself to running faster, and heard Izzy hiss "Goodbye Edward. This conversation is over."
I was glad she was leaving, and slowed my pace. I made my way through the forest and soon arrived at a clearing, a meadow of some sorts. To see Edward kissing Izzy. It looked like she was trying to push him away, but at the same time not. I took her wanting to push him off into consideration for a second, and then tackled him down. I couldn't stand that he was associating himself with Izzy, none the less kissing her.
"Mother fucker bitch from hell!" I yelled, and started punching him. He retaliated, and soon we were fighting. I turned to look at Izzy once as we did. She looked as if she were confused, and distraught. I sighed. This wasn't doing well for any of us. I pinned Edward down, and looked back to where Izzy was. She was gone.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Izzy (Bella) POV
I ran away. Yeah. I ran. And ran. I know. Wimpy, stupid, dumb Izzy.
I just ran, letting my legs carry me wherever. Anywhere was better off than here. I could feel the emotions in me brewing. How could this have happened? I mean, Edward was gone for 90 years. 90 long, fucking years. Hunter was with me the whole time. Yet, I loved them both. And I didn't know which one I loved more. I shook my head in disgust at myself.
I finally paid attention to where my feet had carried me. I was home. The girls weren't home yet, and the guys weren't either by the looks of it. I shook my head, trying to clear it of all the crazy thoughts that were going through it. I needed somewhere to clear it, to make a decision, based upon intellectual thoughts instead of panicky ones.
That's when I got an idea. The Fenty Einstein Institute. It was a home to me for so long. Maybe I can go back. Just for a while to sort things out.
I realized my family would look for me. And I'm sure as hell Edward would try to as well. I ran to the study we all shared, and looked in a special cabinet we had. Full of forged passports. Filled with Aliases. As well as supplies to make some other forged passports.
I took some materials to make one on the go if needed. I took 4 of my aliases, some cash, and ran off leaving a note, and my cell. I hope they'll understand.
I made my way to the passport by running. I bought a one way ticket to Montreal, Canada, and paid with the cash I took.
I looked at the passport in my hand. A forged one, but a damn good one at that. My photo was there, as well as one of my aliases. I handed my passport to the woman, who smiled at me. The smile she would shine at other people when they came in to board the flight.
"Have a nice trip, Ms. Swan." She said to me, looking at my passport, with the name of Natalie Lacey Swan.

"Shouldn't she be home by now?" Elyon said, pacing around the living room. I sat in the acrylic chair, and was listening to Hero/Heroine by Boys like Girls on my iPod.
"Calm down. Izzy can take care of herself." I said, and started playing with my hair.
"Well, if you say so." Elyon mumbled, sitting at the counter.
"Is Izzy here?"
I turned to the door, to see Hunter. What the fuck?
"No. Why? Did something happen? Wait, why the hell are you back!" Elyon said, looking at the clock.
Hunter told us what happened, and I shook my head as Elyon dealt with all the emotions going through Hunter.
"How long have you guys been here?" He asked us, and I looked at the clock.
"30 minutes." I said, and looked out the window. Where the hell could you be, Izzy?
"She left a note. And her cell!" Elyon said, pointing at a note on the counter, as well as Izzys black and lilac Sony Erickson phone. How could we have missed it? More importantly, how could she have left the cell phone? She was like physically connected to that. No bull shit.
I'm going to go for a while. Not for long, maybe for the next 3 months. I'll be back. I just need some time to myself, to figure things out. Love you guys. Don't look for me.
I read it out loud as Hunter went to go sit down. Everything remained silent. How could she have left? I mean, we haven't always lived together. Sometimes, I and Elliot have gone off, or Jared and Elyon, but we never left without warning. And not without a hint of where we were going. We never stayed separated. No more than a year.
"Do you think she'll go under her name, or one of her aliases?" Hunter asked, breaking the silence that had blanketed us.
"Let me check. I'll see if she took one of the fake passports." I said, and went to the study we all shared. I opened a drawer in the huge oak desk, and looked in the pile of passports, smiling to myself at a joke. Izzy said that if the police raided out house, we would all go to jail immediately. I faintly laughed, and immediately noticed four of Izzy's fake passports missing, as well as some of the supplies to make one.
"She took four. Obviously to leave us hanging." I said, knowing they would hear me. Did she really want to leave that bad?
"Damn.." I heard Elyon mutter.
"Which ones?" Hunter asked. I looked in them. I smiled unconsciously to myself. Her aliases names had actual significance.
"Natalie Lacey Swan, Adrianne Elliot Rivers, Daniela Lena Hanley, and Angela Halie Winfred." I said. Natalie for the person in the next room from us at Fenty, Lacey for Hunters sister, Swan as her old last name, Elliot as for, well, Elliot, Hanley for our dean back at Fenty, and Angela for some girl she knew as a human in Forks. A nice girl by the way Izzy tells us.
"Did she take her credit cards?" Elyon asked hopefully.
I ran into Izzys room, and looked in her bureau. All her credit cards were there, as well as her checks.
"She left them all here." I said, shaking my head. She really knew how to disappear.
And with her ability to change her appearance like Hunters, there was not telling who she was now. She could be another person for all we know, using the passports to throw us off.
"Well, I guess we wait for her." Elyon said as I went back into the living room.
"No way. I'm going to go look for her." Hunter said, getting up. Just then, there was a knock at the door. I opened it, all ready knowing who it was, to face Edward Cullen. I immediately knew one thing.
Blood shall be shed. No god damn fucking pun intended.
