Edward Pov:

"Why did I have to come here, why could my family not have let me stay with Bella to protect her and the twins" my mind questioned.

Alice danced up to yet another car. I honestly did not see why we needed another car but Alice said it was time for a change and that all changes happen for a reason. I did not see the reason why I needed to be there either; surely they could have picked a new car without me!

So that's why I am here worrying about Bella and the twins more than ever, all I wanted to do was go home and wrap my arms around them. To keep them safe forever in my arms, that was my only wish.

Just then I heard a gleeful shout and realised my brother Emmet was talking to me. "Edward man, did you see the sweet ride that Alice just picked, it's awesome?"

I could have laughed at the expression on his face but decided against it as this meant that I would be on my way home to Bella in next to no time at all.

"Alice has good taste Emmet and I trust her judgement" I said smoothly as a small smile curved my lips.

Just then my phone rang and I knew it was Bella. I had set my ringtone as her lullaby so that I would always know it was her before I checked the caller display.

I happily answered it and said "Hello love, are you and the children okay?" A question I must have asked a thousand times as they were so important to me and I hated the very thought of any of them getting hurt or sick. They were so precious to me.

"Yes we are all fine Edward, are you finished your hunt yet?" Bella asked and I wondered why she thought we were hunting but then I remembered that we were due to hunt after getting a new car. I was not going to get home to her as quickly as I had hoped.

"Not quite yet Bella is there anything wrong, why are you calling me" I asked as worry and panic filled my body.

"Um, not really Edward but I need you to come home as soon as you can" Bella replied and I could tell from her tone that she was struggling to keep her voice calm but I knew every nuance of her voice and knew when there was something upsetting her and this was one of those times.

There was something really wrong and my family needed me so without another thought I moved towards the shop exit as fast as I could without alerting to the fact that I was a vampire. It was hard trying to pretend I could only move at a human speed.

I continued to talk to Bella on the phone and was just about to offer her some reassurance that I would be with her in no time when I heard Bella's voice cut through the speaker. "How dare you block Alice's visions, she helps to protect us all. For someone who so badly wants our help you have a funny way of going about it" were the cold words the Bella spoke followed by another strange and unfamiliar voice which filled the speaker.

A new worry filled me then because I had now reached my car but I had not had an answer from Bella and I needed to know who was with her and in our home, someone or something who was a threat to my family.

I quickly climbed into the driver seat of the Volvo and turned the key in the ignition. Before long I was driving at top speed down the road towards my family

"Love, who is there? Tell me?" I asked almost in fear trying to hide my feelings from her as I did not want to alarm her further.

I heard her soft voice flow through the speaker "Don't worry Edward, we are unharmed, we are not in any danger. There is another vampire here who says he needs my help to save his coven from some creatures although I am not too sure of how I can help."

I could no longer hide my anger or concern any longer and my feelings got the better of me and said "Bella, if he has hurt either you or our children I will tear him apart and burn the pieces, I promise."

Bella replied in an almost pleading voice "Please do not worry Edward, we are safe, and he has not harmed us."

I heard the vampire talk to Bella and introduce himself as Aiden. His voice did not sound threatening but it held a soft note which I thought was his way of trying to get Bella on his side. I did not trust him however; I was still worried as anyone would be when his family were under threat.

Suddenly I heard Bella's breathing become a little erratic and then I heard the shrill screams of our children. Something was happening and my family were in danger. Bella began to shout to the vampire called Aiden, she sounded terrified and I heard her almost scream to him asking "Aiden, what is happening?"

My body became tense and rigid when I heard Bella's panic and my foot pushed the accelerator to the floor as hard as it could making the car go faster than the safety limits would allow.

I heard Aiden speak urgently to Bella then, "Bella you must get out of here and take the children with you as fast as you can, and they have followed me here".

I shouted down the phone urgently to my love, "Bella" but did not get any reply from her. I was driving as faster than imaginable and it was not long before I reached the boundaries of Forks.

I did not know what terrified me more, the fact that Bella could not answer my pleas or the fact that I could hear her screams, she was in danger and I could not help her, I had no power over the situation. I should never have left them alone and if I could save them today I would never leave them alone again.

I eventually reached our home and found myself at the door before I even realised that I had cut the engine. I do not recall even opening the door of the Volvo. My anger knew no bounds and I was up the steps and through the door before I even realised what I had done. I found later that in my anxiety to get to my family I had ripped the door from its hinges. Esme would not be happy at all but then she would also understand my need to protect those I loved.

The sight I was greeted with made my frozen heart shudder and freeze all over again. I saw before Bella sucking blood from a bag using a straw.

I immediately rushed to her side and lifted her into my arms, she was still holding tightly onto the children and I held them all closely to my body so that I could protect them and never let them go.

She looked so weak and fragile as she lay in my arms, I kept asking why! Why did this happen to Bella? Why couldn't I stop this? And more importantly why wasn't I here to protect her?

Bella had stopped sucking from the straw and just as I was about to plead with her to continue, the other vampire whom I assumed was Aiden gently nudged the straw to urge her to keep drinking.

I could hear Aiden's thoughts but they were unclear to me and I resented the fact that he was trying to communicate with Bella as this was my job to look after the person I loved more than life itself. So, I could do nothing to prevent the warning growl that emanated from my throat at that moment.

Bella must have heard my growl and sensed how I felt because she looked directly into my eyes and such a pleading look in them but before I could react further and offer her reassurance her eyes rolled in her head and her breathing became instantly shallow.

"Bella love, don't leave me" I pleaded gently as I brushed her hair away from her face.

I did not get a reply and I could feel my dead heart break in two and as she lost consciousness I could feel her body go limp in my arms. I managed to catch Renesmee and Masen before they fell.

"What the hell is wrong with her? How do we fix this" I shouted towards Aiden whilst I tried to find some link to his thoughts but for some strange reason they were all unclear. It was almost as though there was some interference, something like static coming through a radio.

"There is nothing that we can do Edward, all we can do is wait. Bella's body had become weak and her energy has been drained. She must rest and we must sit and wait."

"But she is going to be okay right?" I asked in a half broken and half pleading tone.

"She'll need a lot of blood but as long as she rests she will be fine" Aiden explained as he looked down towards Bella lying in my arms.
