I haven't updated in like forever and I am truly sorry! Though that does not let me off the hook. I am really having to deal with tons of homework though. It really sucks and I wish I had more time to dedicate to the computer… and just to let ya'll know in my last authors note I was mad because someone stole my phone…. I got a new phone. It is a LG Scoop!!! Now, here is the next chapter.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

---Edward POV--

I could sense Bella was getting nearer because her unique scent was getting stronger. I told Emmett to hold on tighter before I pushed myself harder and faster. Then, I saw her. She was standing alone with her back to me. Her hands were clenched into fists; she was bracing for whatever was coming to her. I pulled Emmett off of my back and handed him my phone. I told him to call everyone on my contact list and tell them it was an emergency and they had to come immediately. All of the contacts consisted of the people who lived in the same house. I order him to go deeper into the woods.

I began walking to Bella with exaggerated slowness anticipating what her reaction would be. She whispered to herself words I could not decipher.

"Bella, are you okay?" I asked hoping to give her a clue that she was safe because it was me here.

"I'm fine, for now at least." She turned to me. "Edward, if something happens to me, I want you to take of my children. I can not think of anyone better to take care of them other than their father. Since all but Skyler has already accepted you, I want you to promise that you will guard them with all that you have. And Edward, I love you."

"I promise," I said. That's when I heard approaching footsteps that were too graceful for a half-vampire. She heard them too because she turned her body in the direction that the sound came from.

"Go to your son. Keep him safe from the dangers that await me," she ordered.

"Bella, I cannot leave you here alone."

"Yes, you can and you will," she said with so much authority it was impossible to ignore. I did not want to, but I could not argue with her orders anymore so I left her. But before I did, I heard a cruel, tenor voice talking to Bella about the end of her life.

I searched through the forest looking for the trail of Emmett, but instead I found my way back to Bella subconsciously. I saw a sight that should have never been seen, Bella was in a close fight with an unknown man. It looked like a dance that was moving at a pace that was too fast for the music. The one bad part was that it was getting deadly for Bella if she did not get help soon.

I pulled Bella behind my back and put her into a position that I could protect her in. I crouched down in front of her. His eyes bulged wide at the sight of me. "You have someone to protect you. How sweet! Sadly, it won't work. I will make sure to end your life today," he sneered over my shoulder.

"Edward, what are you doing here? I sent you away," she said.

"I came back to help because your children and I could not live if you died at any time soon," I replied.

"Get away!" she shouted at me. She grabbed a hold of my arm and swung me miles away in mere seconds. I saw the tops of trees flying by at speeds I could not reach running.

When I landed, I tried to find my way back to Bella, but I couldn't because something was blocking her extremely potent scent from me. I walked around aimlessly until I heard the last metallic screeching sound. I also heard the sound of a match being struck. That's when it hit me, Bella was the only one that was injured when I saw her last. It must have been her. I broke down in choked, dry sobs.

As I wept, my family caught up with me. They had been by the fight scene and had seen the last strand of her chocolate brown hair burn into ash. That brought on another round of sobs. While I was basically useless for who knows how long, Alice had found the Little Emmett and brought him nearer to us.

I recovered quickly when I caught a whiff of him. I did not want him to see me in an emotional breakdown, at least not now. I got down into a crouch and had him climb on my back. He slowly got on. I ran as quickly as possible to Bella's old house. I walked in taking extra care to remember everything about it.

I got to the front door and found the key under the eave to unlock the door. I found Skyler and Jasmine on the couch staring intently at the door apparently awaiting our arrival. I took a deep breath getting ready to break the news to them.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This looked like a good way to end it… I think. I need you to tell me what reaction you want the children to have. Each one because as you have found out the all have different personalities. I also want you to REVIEW!!!! Please it makes my day great!
