Chapter Eleven 'The Hunt'

That week the Cullen's decided to take Bella to watch them play baseball. It was mostly for Edward so he could show off his other vampire skills. They came upon an open field about ten miles outside of town. She sat down on the grass with Esme. "You know," Esme began. "You've made him very happy," she said.

"He's made me very happy," Bella replied watching him from a distance. "After all the surgeries and dying I never thought that life was worth living," she said. "Until him came into my life," she said.

"He truly loves you," Esme said. "But I can sense that something is troubling you," she said.

"Its just you guys can live forever," Bella said. "I can't," she said. "Weather I die of old age or my heart gives out again I have excepted it but I really don't think he has," she said causing her to nod.

"I fear the same," Esme said softly.

"Sometimes I think he would have been better off if I never came around," Bella said looking down. Then all of a sudden their head shot up seeing Alice on the ground.

"What is wrong?" Esme asked running over to her with Bella.

"Vampires," Alice said holding her head. "They got Bella's scent," she said with fear in her eyes.

"You have to get her out of here," Emmett said looking over at Edward.

"To late," Jasper said looking over at the pack.

"Oh a snack," James said causing Edward to flash his eyes black. They family stood in front of her and glared over at James. "What is the matter?" He asked. "Oh my god," he said looking at Edward.

"She is leaving with my son," Carlisle said sternly and Bella shook her head.

"I am not leaving you guys here," Bella said sternly.

"Take her," Esme said causing him to nod and grab her by the arm. They went back to the truck and he set her inside before getting in himself.

"We can't leave them there," Bella said looking over at him.

"He's got your sent Bella," Edward said. "He's not going to stop now until you are dead," he said. "We have to get you far away from here," he said firmly.

"What about my dad?" Bella asked glaring at him.

"I will make sure he's safe," Edward said softly. "But my first concern is for you," he said going into a trance. He got a message from Alice to meet them back at the house.

They went back to the Cullen's house and talked about the plan. "We have to get her some where safe," Alice said in a firm voice because she cared about Bella.

"Where?" Emmett asked. "He can find her anywhere," he said firmly.

"Hello," Bella said causing them to look back. "Don't I get a say in this," she said firmly.

"No," Edward said causing her to cross her arms. "Now is not the time to be stubborn," he said.

"Look I will just give myself up," Bella said. "Let him kill me at least you guys and my family will be safe," she said firmly causing him to come over.

"Like hell I will let you do that," Edward said causing her to glare at him.

"Its not your choice," Bella said causing him to look down at her.

"If I have to tie you up to keep you safe I will do it," Edward said causing her to push him back.

"Okay everyone just calm down," Rosalie said coming over to her. "We can handle it," she said.

"Are you sure?" Bella asked causing her to nod. "You see no way out you make them leave me," she said under her voice but everyone could still hear it.

"Let's get her out of here," Edward said sternly. "Alice can she have some clothes," he said.

"Yes," Alice said going up the stairs and Bella went over to the window. Edward came over to her and placed his hands on either side of her arms.

"I can't let you die," Edward said causing her to turn.

"But see that's the thing," Bella said softly. "I will die one day," she said. "What are you going to do then?" She asked causing him to look down and Alice came over.

"Come on lets go," Alice said causing her to start to walk past him but he stoppd her.

"I love you," Edward said and kissed her softly.

"I love you too," Bella said before leaving out of the house. They had went to her home in Pheonix since her mother was in Flordia with her new boyfriend.

"How are you feeling?" Alice asked causing her to sigh.

"Okay," Bella said firmly. "You are going to have to call someone soon," she said.

"Why?" Alice asked.

"I need my heart medication," Bella said causing her to nod.

"Edward loves you," Alice said causing her to tear up.

"I know," Bella said. "I love all of you," she said with a smile. That night she got a call on her cell phone and picked it up thing it was Edward. "Hello," she said.

"I got your mommy," James said on the other side of the phone.

"Let her go," Bella said hearing her mom in the background.

"Come and get her," James said in a firm voice and she went to her box. She got some cash out of the box and snuck out of the house to get onto a plane.

Jasper went to go check on her and found that she was gone. She had left a note and went to read it. His mind began to race and knew if he had a heart it would be racing too.

Cullen Family:

I am so sorry for everything I put you through. I won't be around for long. I have gone to save my mom from James. Please tell Edward not to avenge my death but move on find love again. Thank you for all the kidness and excitement you have show me. Love Always Bella.

"ALICE!!" Jasper yelled running down th stairs.

"He's got her," Alice said as he ran over to her. "We got to call Edward," she said firmly.
