Chapter 10: Why…?

Edward's P.o.V.

I know who can save her! Carlisle thought as he flipped his phone shut.

My face lit up with hope.

"Who, Carlisle, who!?" I couldn't contain myself any longer. I practically jumped him with my words, metaphorically, of course.

Well I'm sure you can't do it Edward, you can only hear thoughts, not project them, right?

I nodded my head yes. I wish I could project thoughts. Right, well, then maybe Zafrina will be able to help. I'm not sure what the aspect of her power is. I know that she makes people see things other than what they're looking at but… I'm not sure if the person has to physically be looking at something. It's a long-shot but there is a possibility that it will work. I'll go contact Zafrina. With that Carlisle ran, vampire speed, to his office on the third floor.

I hugged Bella close to me. I love you Edward, I truly do, and I'm sorry. Bella's pure heart-breaking thoughts. Why should she be sorry!?

"Bella!? If you can hear me, this is not your fault! Don t take it out on yourself! I know you love me, as do I love you, O how much I love you. Please, please, fight this I know you can Love…" My voice broke and ended in a whisper. I listened for Bella's thought… nothing.

I sat there holding her. Waiting… just sitting there and waiting, that's all I could do.

A week went by. Me holding her for dear life.

How long until she's out of this mess! Bella… my Bella… my love… my life… Please wake up soon!

Then I suddenly heard a gasp. I looked up to see Alice and her eyes glazed over. I immediately tapped into her thoughts.

* There was a humongous fire that covered almost the whole forest next to our house. Standing in front of the fire was Bella, facing us. Her face was of pure hatred. The whole family circled her. Her eyes were bright red. Her teeth barred, ready to attack. My Bella was staring at me with confusion and hate. I looked like I was about to cry when I jumped*

The vision stopped before I could see where I jumped to. I looked down at Bella…My Bella… She seemed so fragile in my arms. I was on the verge of tears, but I know they would never come. Then I looked at Alice who was looking at the front door. The door bell rung and I heard a voice, "Open this door or we will be forced to break it down!" It was a cop with a deep voice.

Then I heard Charlie's voice, "We know she's in there! Open this damn door!"

Oh god! Of course Charlie would be looking for Bella!

A growl erupted from my sealed lips to low for a human to hear. Alice's face was panicked. For once, she didn't see this coming and she doesn't know what to do! She needs to be more perceptive.

I left Bella's side, reluctantly, to answer the door. I don't know what I'm going to do but… I'll try to do something. I glanced one more time at Bella, and then ran to the door. My hand quivered as I reached for the knob. If I was human still, I would probably be sweating. I've never felt like this, I've always known what was coming and I've always known what do. This is different, I have no idea…

With that thought whirling around my head, I opened the door to see a very distraught Charlie in his police uniform and five more men standing behind him dressed the same way.

"I know she's here, damn it, you fucking asshole! Where is she!?" Charlie's voice bombarded me as did his thoughts:

This asshole better tell me where Bella is! Just as they leave she disappears, then they return!? She's with them, I just know it! Why is he trying to steal her from me! I just got her back only a year ago! Charlie was breathing heavily and staring intently at my face.

Carlisle was suddenly behind me with his hand on my shoulder.

"Hello, Chief Swan. Have you seen Bella? Edward wanted to talk to her," Carlisle covered. He had mastered the art of lying centuries ago.

Charlie eyed Carlisle suspiciously.

"Don't play that game with me! I know she's here!" Charlie shouted at the top of his lungs.

Edward, be calm. I called Zafrina, she'll be here soon but, we have to get Charlie and his men out of here. Zafrina told me that she hasn't hunted in a while. I told her to come without hunting. We have to get them out of her, their lives are in danger. Carlisle's thoughts ordered.

Alice gasped, she was breathing heavily. I turned my attention to her. Charlie h-he…he has n-no future! I stared wide-eyed at Charlie.

A/N- lotsa drama huh? Lol review if you want!!! It would make me happier than I am now(if thts possible) :D
