I knew this was the end. I was about to die. I could still hear Andrew laughing loudly, but the sound was becoming more and more distant.
"I love you Edward. I love you Nessie." I whispered, my voice hoarse with all the screaming I'd done. "It's over."
Slowly my world turned back. I could almost feel my dead heart breaking at the thought of never seeing Edward again.
NPOV (No one's POV)
Jack rushed towards the garage, hoping it wasn't too late. Andrew had been right, Jack had fallen for Bella. Who wouldn't? She was so sweet, and she cared so much about her family. Andrew had told him that the man they were doing this for, had said she wouldn't be hurt. But now the Cullens had escaped, and Andrew had been ordered to kill Bella. Jack reached the garage, and hauled the door open. Andrew was laughing, and the garage was filled with flames.
Jack leaped at Andrew, filled with rage, at the man who was laughing, while burning the woman he loved. They fell to the floor, snarling at each other. As soon as Andrew was distracted, the flames disappeared.
"What are you doing, brother?" Andrew growled.
"You can't kill her." Jack snarled back.
Andrew groaned. "You fell in love with her, didn't you?"
Jack didn't answer.
Andrew stood up, brushing himself down.
Jack raced to Bella. She was lying on the floor, her eyes closed. "What did you do to her?" Jack held her to him.
"She's not dead. I didn't have time to kill her."
Jack looked at her, feeling hopeful. She looked so fragile.
"Then what's wrong with her? Why won't she wake up?"
Andrew shrugged. "I don't know. Maybe she blacked out?"
"That's not possible. Vampires can't black out, can they?"
"I don't know. Maybe it's her power?"
"She's a shield."
"So maybe her shield came naturally to her defence by shutting down her system?"
Jack nodded. It made sense.
"Please, Bella, wake up." He hugged her again, and stroked her face.
"Jack. What are we going to do? Our orders were to kill her. We can't disobey him."
"I know. But we can't kill her. I won't let you." Jack replied.
Andrew sighed. "Well we have no other choice. We can't hide from him. He'll hunt us down, and kill us all."
Jack moved, and stood protectively in front of Bella. "Stay away from her."
"You do know she has a husband right? She'll never be with you."
"I don't care. You're not going to kill her."
Andrew sighed again. "Fine. But we better get out of here. Where's everyone else?"
"Gone. They've left."
"Where have they gone? They know they can't hide from him."
"No. They've gone to him. They thought they would be safest with him."
"Well come on then. Let's go."
Jack scooped up Bella, and followed Andrew out of the garage.
"Where are we going?" Jack asked.
"I don't know. There aren't many places to hide from him. You know we'll constantly have to be on the move? Are you sure you want to do this?"
Jack looked down at Bella, who looked like she was sleeping peacefully in his arms, though he knew she wasn't.
"I'm sure."

"Over there!" Alice called.
I looked to where Alice was pointing, and saw a house in the woods.
"You think that's where Jane was taking us?" Rosalie asked.
I shrugged. "We have to try everywhere. We need to find Bella."
The rest of my family nodded, and we headed towards the house. I listened, but I couldn't hear a sound. "There's no one inside."
"I don't mean to be insensitive, but we should still look inside. If it is too late…and Bella's…not alive…we wouldn't be able to hear her. We may be looking for a body." Rosalie said.
"Rosalie!" Esme said, shocked.
Rosalie's words had made my heart feel like it was breaking but I interrupted. "No, Esme. She's right." The words hurt to even say. "We should still look inside."
We searched the house inside and out, but there was no sign of anyone. Bella had definitely been here though. In one of the rooms, there was a bed, and scratched into the bed, it said 'Edward, I love you." She must have left me a message in case I ever came.
I sadly brushed my finger over the words. "She's still alive, I feel it." I said.
Carlisle put his hand on my shoulder. "She will be. They probably just moved her. Jane must have contacted them after she escaped."
"Alice." I called. She entered the room. "Can't you see anything in the future? To do with Bella?"
"No, I tried. But for some reason, I can't see anything to do with her."
I sighed. "Is she dead?" I asked, not wanting to hear the answer.
"No, I don't think so. It's more like her system's shut down, like she's blacked out."
"How is that possible?" I asked Carlisle.
He shrugged. "I don't know. Sorry."
"Edward." I heard Jasper call from somewhere downstairs.
I ran down the stairs to Jasper, who was standing in front of what looked like a garage.
"Bella's scent is coming strongly from here, it looks like this was where she was last."
I looked inside, hesitating, and worrying what I would find.
There was a burnt smell coming strongly from inside, along with Bella's scent, and two unfamiliar vampire's scents.
"It looks like there was a fire here." I said, worriedly.
"Don't worry. She'll be alive." Jasper said, reassuringly.
"Edward. I have a trail." Alice called from nearby.
I followed Bella's scent to where Alice was standing in a clearing.
"The scent goes this way." Alice said to me. The rest of my family gathered around.
"Let's follow it." I said.

I looked down at Bella in my arms, still not awake.
"Please wake up." I said softly.
"You don't want that." Andrew said, running ahead of me. "If she wakes up, she won't want to come with us. We did kind of kidnap her and then try and kill her."
"You tried to kill her."
"And you didn't stop me."
"Well I did. But she doesn't know that."
Andrew laughed. "True."
"So where are we going?" I asked him.
"I don't know. I think we should head for New York. We should probably stop somewhere soon though, I think the sky is clearing up, and the sun will be out soon. We can't travel in public then."
I nodded in agreement. "I think there's a hotel somewhere near her."
"We also probably need to disguise our scent. He's going to find us otherwise."
"We can't keep running forever."
"We have no other choice. I'm not going to stand up to him. He'll kill us."
"Maybe we should go to the Volturi? They'll protect us."
Andrew started laughing again. "You think the Volturi stand a chance against him? He'll murder them all before they even have a chance to react."
I sighed and followed Andrew to the hotel. "Then what do we do?"
Andrew shrugged. "We keep running and hiding."
Andrew raced ahead, and I looked down to Bella. "I'll protect you, I promise, my darling."
