Could I disappear?
Inspired to write about the other Twilight characters. This is totally non-canon. A bit of OOC.
I own nothing. Anything recognizable belongs to S. Meyer.
Chapter 10:

She whispers, "Stay with me." I answer, "As long as you want me to." I'm not sure what came over me, but I do believe I was mesmerized by her scent and the fact that she was willing to be changed. Willing for me to taste her and that I was the only one who would ever taste her that way again. So, I stayed with her holding her for hours and just watching the change take place. There was no screaming or thrashing.
I thought about her moaning my name and how I'd never had that effect on anyone before. I was a science geek. The butt of all the jokes. I've never even had what one would call a true friend never-mind a girlfriend or someone who would react to me in anything other than anger or disgust. When I was little there were a couple kids at the reservation, but as I got older and hit my growth spurt it was all downhill for me. I've been alone for so long that it's nice to have a friend like Bella. She's easy going, fun and kindhearted. I can't help, but wonder if there will ever be more? That is not the important thing right now though. The important thing is figuring out how to survive the upcoming shit-storm of drama and bullshit that I know is coming our way. She's my first real friend and I will do whatever it takes to keep her safe and happy.
She asked me to pack and be ready for when she woke so, I'm consolidating everything into 2 bags. We both have about a weeks worth of clothing and a few misc supplies. As I do this I think of our plan. I really do like the idea of Vancouver island. I think we'll be able to hide out there for awhile as long as we can mask our scents and keep the others at bay. It's remote enough that even if Bella is an ornery newborn, I'm pretty sure that I can keep her away from people. However, if my theory is correct I think she'll be just fine. I do not believe we should take the boat to our destination. I think we should take the boat inland towards Seattle and hike East for awhile and then North through the wilderness to be safe. It will take longer, but I don't know if there are check points. We don't have passports or Id's and it would be best to stay as invisible as possible.
I check on her again. She's so quiet and it looks like she is sleeping and seemingly fine so, I take quick run around the cabin to make sure we have not forgotten anything and that we are masked. The further I get the more I feel the need to go back. It's not like anything is wrong, but I feel a pull. I need to check on her. Everything seems good so, I go back because I hear her whimpering. I sit by her side and hold her hand and the whimpering stops.

This is not what I expected at all. I'm somewhat aware of things right now. I know that Fred stayed by my side talking to me for hours at a time. I know when he went to pack up our things because I could hear the zippers and folding and then I blacked out. The strangest thing is the pain in my chest that woke me when he left. It hurt so much.. He came back and the pain is gone. I'll have to ask him about this. I do feel the pain of the burn, but it is nowhere near as intense as I have been told or led to believe. Although, I did black out for a long time. It does not hurt as much as when I was bitten by James. It kind of feels like I was put under nitrous-oxide gas and it is numbing the burn. I wonder if that has anything to do with Fred's gift? The intensity comes and goes when he holds my hand or lets go.
It must be close to the end because I was unable to think clearly at the beginning and blacked out entirely in the middle. As if on cue; my heart speeds up. My chest feels like it is burning and Fred is holding my hand close to him telling me that he's here and it's almost over. I tighten my grip because this is the most pain I have ever felt.

I'm still holding her hand when her heart stops and feel her body jolt in place. She stops breathing and I look down at our clasped hands hoping for the best. I hear her gasp and I look up to see her looking at me. I give her a slight smile and say, "Bella, are you ok?" She gives me a breathtaking smile and jumps onto my lap and squeezes. "Oww, you're not the weak human anymore you know." She let's go and backs away slowly. "It's fine. I'm fine. We just have to get used to our new strength when we awaken. It will take time." Bella looks at me with her beautiful ruby eyes shining. "Thank you. Thank you so, much. I'm not sure what I would have done without you here. You took some of the pain away."
I hold her for a few mins while I think about what she said. "Really?" I have no idea how I did that. She continued, "Yea when you held my hand I felt your presence and it felt like everything was going to be ok. Then I blacked out. I came back when I felt a pain in my chest, but you came back and the pain stopped." Woa.. "I felt the pain in my chest when I went outside to check the property. The further that I got, the more it actually hurt. I came back when I heard you and held your hand till you woke up. What does this mean?" She said, "I have no idea, but I think we should leave. I have a bad feeling." As soon as she said that I felt like I swallowed a butterfly. "Me too, everything's ready. I'll teach you to hunt on the way. We'll take the boat inland and take the wilderness the rest of the way. Don't worry I'm masking us. Just don't go too far from me while traveling because I don't know how far my ability will mask you."

I've finally heard back from our guy. There are three places Bella can be right now that would be somewhat easy for me to find.. She did empty out her savings before she left and I don't want to think of that scenario. She could be in Jacksonville with her mom. Our guy is checking it out right now. She could be in Phoenix or an old cabin that her family owns up North. I think she's in Phoenix because I highly doubt she'd go up North. For one thing she hates cold and wet weather. I laugh at this idea. Plus she's a klutz. She wouldn't last a week out in the wilderness. No, she's in Phoenix. She's gotta be. I'd bet on it. While the investigator is checking the locations I'm watching Charlie when I can. It seems like he's just about moved onto the reservation.
Carlisle and the others told me to leave her be for now. That she's been through a lot and needs time to digest it all. That's fine, but she needs me. She cannot survive without me to protect her. Even Alice can't see anything. We are all distracted by this. I've even broken into Charlie's place to get some more of her clothes for her scent. I think that's what I miss the most. It's almost like getting a fix. She didn't believe me when I told her she shouldn't be friends with me. That I'm dangerous. That she's like a drug to me. Maybe I should prove it to her when I bring her back. There's no way I'm letting her out of my sight again.

I'm been seeing that freaky ex of my daughter's around town. It's like she's gone so he's hovering around me. Maybe hoping to see her or something. I've started packing up the house a bit because I'm moving in with Sue by the end of spring. Sue's house is bigger and she has two kids and an extra room for Bella when she comes home. Bells loves La Push and seemed happy about the match. I know I said, I'd be moving slow but Sue has a way about her that I can't get enough of. She's not flaky like Renee was. I've decided to keep my house and possibly rent it out. I'm going to leave it finished. Just packing up the small stuff. The memories. I noticed some of Bella's things are missing from her room. Things that she didn't bring with her because she left with a weekend bag. I don't like the feeling I get. Somethings off. Maybe I should call that Dr Cullen to see if he noticed anything about his son?
A/N Not in love with this chapter. I wanted the change to be complete and to establish the mating pull between Bella and Fred. At this point they have no clue what it is and are only friends. I also wanted an Edward's pov to show how creepy he is. I squeezed Charlie in there because we all want to know that he's doing well and suspicious. He never did like Edward and I think he'd nail his ass to the wall if he had the opportunity. You know the drill. All mistakes are mine. Leave a review to let me know what you think.
