Chapter Nine
Alice was sitting down at the lunch table a few weeks later. They had talked to Bella on the phone everyday sometimes as many as five times a day. She was trying to keep up hope. The Cullen's just wanted to use their vampire abilities to go to Florida. To save their friend. Their sister. Edwards love.
+Alice's Vision+
Bella was backing against the headboard of her bed when Phil sat down. "Oh come on," he said touching her knee.
"No please," Bella said shaking her head and the tears slipped.
"Your mom will be gone for a few days," Phil said pulling her closer. Bella tried to fight him off but he was to strong for her.
+End of Vision+
"Alice," Jasper said feeling the pain from her. "What is it?" He asked.
"He's there with her," Alice said looking over at Edward.
"That's it," Edward said standing up from the table and heading out. The rest of his family followed after him. They had followed him back to the house to visit Carlisle. It was his day off.
"Carlisle!" Edward yelled coming through the house.
"Yes my son," Carlisle said looking over at him.
"Tell him Alice," Edward said looking over at him.
"She's going to get raped again," Alice said causing him to look down.
"Do you still want to just sit here?" Edward asked. "Wait for Charlie to find some way to help her," he said with anger in his eyes. "When you know we can right now," he said firmly.
"Son," Carlisle said. "I know how you feel," he said causing him to jerk away.
"No I don't think you do," Edward said in a firm voice. "I can save her," he said. "I can save her the woman I love," he said feeling a crimson tear slide down his face.
No one had ever seen Edward cry before not ever. "What do you plan on doing?" Carlisle asked.
"I don't know," Edward said. "Take her," he said firmly. "Hide her," he said.
"Then what?" Carlisle said. "They will come looking for her," he said.
"We can change her," Edward said causing him to look at his son.
"What if she doesn't want to be changed?" Carlisle asked softly. "Have you even told her about this family?" He asked causing him to sigh.
"I just have to do something," Edward said looking down.
"Call her," Carlisle said looking over at him.
+Alice's Vision+
Bella held up a gun at him standing there with her body battered. "Stay away from me!!" She yelled out at him. "Don't touch me!!" She yelled.
"You aren't going to shot me," Phil said coming toward her and then a shot rang out.
+End of Vision+
"Oh no," Alice said now releasing a crimson tear just as Edward's cell rang.
"Its Bella," Edward said looking down at the phone. "Bella," he said into it.
"I shot him," Bella said. "I killed him," she said. "I don't know what to do," she said breathing heavily.
"Bella lock the door," Edward said in a firm voice. "And don't call your dad," he said. "He can't know about this," he said causing her to cry. "I will be there within an hour," he said. "Get out of that room and lock the front door," he said. "Bella," he said.
"Okay," Bella said. "Please come," she said.
"I will be there," Edward said hanging up the phone. "Please don't tell me to stop," he said in a low voice and his father stood up.
"I was going to say I'll book us a flight," Carlisle said going over to the phone.
"Let's go people," Rosalie said heading to her room with Emmett hot on her tail. They had made it to her within five hours since they got their first flight.
Edward rushed over to her door with Carlisle and Esme behind him. The rest of the family to get of the other pressing matter. Like the sounds people may have heard.
"Bella," Edward said causing her to open the door. She was only in a large t-shirt and visible bruises were on her legs. "Oh god," he said looking at her.
"I didn't mean too," Bella said shaking her head.
"We know Bella," Esme said coming over to her.
"Where is he Bella?" Carlisle asked causing her to motion into the room.
"I am going to go to jail aren't I?" Bella asked looking up at Esme. Edward rushed to her side and touched her face gently.
"Not if I have anything to say about it," Edward said looking down at her.
"Why are you guys doing this?" Bella asked looking at all of them. "You could get in trouble," she said with panic in her voice.
"Not likely," Esme said causing her to sit down. "We use fake names," she said. "We have many of them which will all be explain to you later but for now we got to take care of this," she said softly.
"I am so tired," Bella said causing her to smile.
"Once we get this place clean up," Esme said. "You can sleep," he said. "I will be back," she said heading into the kitchen to get some cleaning supplies and then went into the back room.
Bella had past out on the couch and within an hour everything was dealt with. They had taken Phil's body into a barrel and brought it out of the house. Everyone now believed that it was a car backfiring thanks to Emmett and Jasper playing around like a couple of goofy kids.
"How did you guys do that so fast?" Bella asked after waking up.
"That's something I will have to explain to you later," Edward said touching her face. "But right now you need to tell your mother that Phil has left and to come back home," he said.
"But the blood," Bella said causing him to touch her face.
"Gone," Edward said causing her to look down.
"I am sorry I put you through this," Bella said looking down.
"You did nothing wrong," Carlisle said in a soft gentle voice. "We are your family now," he said causing her to smile up at them. "But we must go," he said in a low voice.
"Where?" Bella asked.
"Forks," Carlisle said. "We will call you when we get there," he said. "I have a feeling that you will be back home with us soon," he said causing her to stand up.
"Bella," Edward turned to face her. "You are my life now," he said touching her face.
"I gotta call my mom now," Bella said causing him to nod and kiss her gently on the forehead. She watched them leave and then waited to call her mother late that night.
