Edward POV. Memories.
I didn't know where else to look! I could not find a trace of her anywhere. I had spent a whole three days, walking mindlessly around in the forest looking for Bella. I knew my family must be worried but I couldn't do anything. I had to find Bella.
It was overcast in forks today. A chilly February day. I had come to our meadow. Our meadow that I had taken Bella that first day. Where I first told her about a world that she thought only existed in fairy tale books, about what I was.
I walked to the center. There was no flowers or sunshine as there had been on that day; just long, brown grass swaying in the breeze. This place held no beauty in it now with out my Bella.
As I sat there wallowing in self pity. I got this funny feeling. One you get in your gut like your being watched. A feeling that makes the hair on the back of you neck and on your arms to prickle.
I looked around the lonely meadow; yes I was being stared at. There it sat, perched on a branch of a massive, old oak. It made no movement. Not even to blink its eyes, they stayed locked on mine and it seemed to be smirking at me like it knew something I didn't.
It was a huge raven. Bigger than I have ever seen in my hundreds of years. Its feathers were tinged with bronze. How odd I thought, just like the color of my hair.
It was getting frustrating. This bird only sat there staring into my eyes. I noticed then how the bird had eyes the color of deep red. Like crimson. This was a strange bird. I suddenly felt the urge to escape from this bird's glaring gaze.
But before I could move the bird fluidly leapt into the air, spreading its massive wings and took flight. It swooped high in the air. Then streamed downward in my direction. It flew low enough for me to almost touch it, but before I could it took off into the sky. Cawing. Maybe I was getting paranoid but it seemed to be laughing at me.
After a few more minutes of loneliness; I got tired of sitting here and doing nothing. I was making no progress in finding Bella this way. I decided to go home and see if Alice had seen anything and to ease my family's worries.
It only took a few minutes to run back to the house.
I couldn't stop thinking about the bird. It seemed so so…familiar. But that was stupid I've never seen it in my life.
As I climbed the steps and opened the front door. I was attacked by two arms hugging me.
The hug startled me and left me dazed. My mind didn't catch up before I started talking.
I lifted her into the air and twirled her around.
"Oh, Bella. Thank goodness you're okay. I've missed you so bad. I love you so much."
She was saying my name.
"Edward. Edward!"
"Bella"
"Edward put me down, open your eyes. It's Alice."
Alice. How could it be Alice? I was so sure it was. It was… I opened my eyes. And was met with the golden eyes of my little pixie sister. My outburst embarrassed me.
"Alice. I'm sorry. I thought." I couldn't finish
"It's okay Edward. You had us all worried sick about you." She slapped me in my arm
"I'm just so glad your home. Esme has not known what to do. She has been so anxious. You should go talk to her. Not right now though she's out hunting with Carlisle. I haven't been able to see you at all Edward. What were you doing? Lets sit down." She said this in a rush. I was still holding her stunned at my mistake.
I set her down and she pulled me over to the couch. I plopped down.
"Edward, why haven't you hunted? Your eyes are almost onyx." She asked. I didn't answer I just stared at me hands in my lap.
I hadn't had the time to hunt. I was spending every second of it trying to find Bella.
"Edward? What happened out there?" she was worried
"Nothing happened I couldn't find her. This is all my fault!" I screamed at my sister and buried my face in my hands. I sat there sobbing uselessly. I shouldn't be mad at my sister she didn't do anything wrong.
"I couldn't find her Alice. He has her. And he's using her to get to me." I whispered into my palms.
"Edward I know. We've all been worried. Emmett is so sad. He won't do anything. He just wants to smash this guy into bits."
I couldn't help but laugh at my big brother. He wanted to find her as much as I did. And I didn't help anything by running away. He loved Bella and I knew this was hurting him also. I probably hurt him when I ran away to look for her. God. I was so selfless.
"Edward. Who is this guy that took Bella? I know you know. And I know that He is very powerful. He is somehow blocking me and Jasper."
"I can't read his thoughts, either." I lifted my head to look at my sister
"Alice, his name is Alexander Garrett. And He is the most powerful vampire I know. He has more power than the Volturi even imagines exists."
"He and I go back to before He and I were changed. He is three years older than me, but was like the older brother, that I never had. He was a jerk most of the time though."
"There was this girl named Katherine. She had long, wavy chestnut brown hair. She was beautiful in her own way. She was my best friend. She was my age; I loved her but nothing compared to what I feel for Bella."
"Alex was always making moves on her. Always trying to have her. He wanted her so bad; to make her his. Katherine hated how He was always after her in a way. And I hated how much He made her miserable. I hated to see her sad. Katherine was troubled by him. Afraid that He was one day going to just snap. It made Alexander jealous of how close Katherine and I were."
"One day though, me and him had a big fight about her. It was about something stupid. He was going to give her a ring. He said the ring was enchanted, that it held desire and that it would mark her, his forever. But I knew Katherine didn't want that. She disliked Alexander. But she was too nice to tell him to back off."
"But what does all of this have to do with Bella? Edward I don't understand. Why would He want Bella?" Alice asked.
After that fight He ran off. I don't k now where, but I thought He was going to go find Katherine, and I was afraid that He would hurt her. I went looking for her"
"I found her by the river. She looked so scared. And she had something in her hands. It was a note and with it was a ring. Her eyes were red and puffy. She had been crying. The note had the exact words on it of the one that Bella had found."
"Edward, when did Bella find this note? Why haven't you told us that you knew who took Bella" Alice wondered.
I didn't know what to say. When I found the note from Bella, I was so afraid. It made me think of Katherine. They are so much alike, Katherine and Bella. Now He has the thing that He most desired. Maybe not exactly the same, but for his sick mind it is close enough. He imagined He had Katherine.
"Alice. The day I found Katherine by the river was the day, that Alex disappeared. No one ever saw him after that. Katherine was so frightened after that. I looked after her. Making sure she was okay when ever I could. She barely went anywhere, too afraid that He would come after her. Now He has Bella. He wants to imagine that it is Katherine." He is going to use Bella to get to me. I thought in my head.
"Bella was coming to see me. She found the note in the woods by her house. Hanging in a tree. I was supposed to come to her."
"Don't blame your self. Edward do you have the note and ring?"
"Yes. Give me a second."
I ran up to my room and to my dresser I had put them there. At vampire speed. I rummaged through my dresser. Pushing aside the clothes. I know I had put them in there. I was getting frantic and started throwing the clothes out. They were gone. But how?
I ran back down stairs to a waiting Alice. She turned and saw the look on my face.
"Edward? What is it? Where's the ring?" she jumped up and walked towards me.
"Alice it's gone! Oh god Alice. He took it. He must have taken it when I was out looking for Bella. But you would have heard him. No He was using his powers probably. Oh Alice this is bad this is very bad!" my words came out in a stream. This is bad very bad. That was all I was thinking.
