I didn't know why I ended up here but I did. I stood across the street, the shadows from the trees covered me and I went unnoticed. Through the windows Charlie's house was pandemonium. Everyone I knew was there, even I few others I never saw before were helping Charlie as he split them all up into search parties. Fear seemed to be pumping through my veins and my breathing was uneven as I sat and watched them run outside and into there cars.
They were looking for me, I should have expected this, no call, and no show in at least a week had Charlie reacting like any concerned and frightened parent would. I could beat them home though, warn the Cullen's they were coming. I turned myself around and ran with everything I had, adrenaline, fear, strength and somehow love. The love Charlie had for me, the love I had for him and my new family drove me to run faster. So fast that I could pass anyone on the streets and to them I would just be a small gust of wind not on abnormally pale girl.
I made it back to the house in record time; I stood outside for a moment, listening for a car to pull up into the driveway, to hear people yelling my name but I was fast and probably none of them had even made it through town yet. I took in a deep breath and continued inside, everyone was around doing their own things. The only person I spotted was Carlisle
"They're coming" I blurted out running over to the living room where Carlisle was reading a thick, worn down book. He looked up at me from the pages. His eyebrows furrowed
"Whose' coming?" he asked setting down the book
"The whole town!" I said raising my voice, standing in front of him; I turned my head to the window, waiting to see headlights, anything that could signal Charlie and the search parties. We didn't have time for questions; we needed to get out of here.
Edward was already standing behind me; he probably looked into Carlisle's mind and found my worried expression
"Where do we go?" Edward asked waiting for Carlisle to answer, he was silent for a minute, looking down at his book he sighed and rubbed his eyes.
"We go…" he answered quietly
I took in a deep breath, I felt horrible, they would have to move again because of me, because I had to be the idiot to get myself hurt, it was all on my shoulders. Carlisle got up from the couch
"We'll find somewhere tonight and in a few days when everything slows down we'll come back for our stuff"
"…Edward go get everybody" he directed him and without any more questions Edward was gone, sent to round up the family. I hugged myself with my arms feeling cold, even though it was just my mind playing tricks on me, I was more nervous to see Esme's face, to see her have to say goodbye to her house, one she loved so much, I wouldn't be able to handle it.
I ran up to the window and pulled back the curtains, I froze, headlights were hidden by the trees but they were coming up fast, they would be here any second.
"There here already!" I yelled starting to shake, they couldn't see me they couldn't find me. I turned back to Carlisle, who was looking past my shoulder, seeing what I saw.
I felt the pain again, the pain in my head, in my body. I sat down on the ground holding my head in my hands, gritting my teeth waiting for the pain to pass but it only grew stronger.
"Bella?" Carlisle asked with concern, he was at my side, bent over putting a hand on my shoulder. I groaned, my teeth clenched together so tight I thought they would shatter. I squeezed my eyes shut hearing Edward's voice
"What's wrong?!" he asked worried, I felt my body being lifted up and I was in his arms still trying to keep the pain away. It was worst than last time, I knew what was happening but why was it worse, could I not control, would I ever be able to control it?
"They've stopped" I heard jasper say somewhere near me, the pain started to ease down slowly and I unclenched my jaw opening my eyes.
