I'M SORRY, IM SO, SO, SO SORRY….BUT HERE, READ THIS, FORGIVE ME ALL….FORGIVE ME!

DISCLAIMER: you guys know the drill…I own my stuff, Stephanie owns hers.

A/N: READ THE A/N AT THE BOTTOM…please.

Rain had started to fall hard just as I pulled up to the front of the Cullen's residence. Or what was left of it anyways.

I hopped off my bike, slowly walking across the path to the house. The sound of leaves crunched underneath my feet as I stepped closer, noticing the dull, lifeless look of the once warm and comforting house that I knew. It was dark now. The bushes had overgrown and the vines had started getting further up the outside walls, creating a sense that this house had been abandoned for years…when it had only been days.

It may had been a dead end to come here; I knew that, but I still had to try. There was still a slight chance that someone was home, someone that could at least help me to find my missing sister.

The horrid images that flashed within my mind as I thought of what might of occurred to Bella, sent cold chills throughout me; along with the nippy weather. I suddenly remembered the wolf that I had seen in the woods back at home. If that was only metres away from my house, who knew what Bella was combating with if she was deeper within the dark shadows of the forest. I pushed those disturbing thoughts to the back of my mind; knowing I would get no where with my pessimistic character.

"Hello!" I called over the noisy drops of rain as I knocked loudly on the wooden door of the house. But there was no reply… just the frequent sound of the cold rain. I peered into the small window across from the door, attempting to see if there was any motion at all in the house. But all I saw was darkness.

"Please, guys…if anyone's in there, I need your help. Bella's missing…I need you guys!" I called in desperation, twisting the handle not thinking it would actually open. So you can imagine my disbelief when it did. I stared surprised at the door knob and slowly glanced up as the door revealed what the inside of the house.

It was extremely dim inside the Cullen's home; only the moons light creating a slight beam making it easier for me to see where I was heading. I hesitantly stepped inside the house, feeling like something was about to come out and grab me like in the movies I'd watched.

As soon as I was inside, a unfriendly draughtiness hit me, like I had just stepped into an ice rink almost. And all I longed for in that moment was a pair of familiar, warm and calming arms to wrap around me and shield me away from this cold.

But nothing or no one was there…literally! There was no furniture, no décor, no lights, no nothing! Everything was gone…including them. I didn't even bother going to search the rest of the house…it was hopeless, nothing here would help me find Bella.

I just couldn't bear it anymore, I didn't want to feel this burden on my shoulders. It was like I was trapped in quicksand; the more I tried to escape the further down I went! Nothing could help me, no one would.

It was my moment of giving up, of admitting defeat. I fell to the ground, pulling my knees to my chest in a vulnerable position. It was rare that I would break down like this, but my emotions were getting the better of me. I was starting to lose grip of my soothing reality. I didn't know where to go, or what to do, and I soon found myself screaming out in a hopeless cry for help.

They were gone now…I finally realised it. This house didn't represent them anymore, just the memories that were created while they were still present. I looked up from where I sat, remembering all the reminiscences that I had been apart of with them.

The living room.

Where a number of video games between Emmett and I had taken place. Me winning every one of them, of course.

The kitchen.

Where Esme was always trying to fill Bella and I up with her marvellous creations of food, even after our countless vents stating we were not hungry.

The piano room.

Where Edward played his awe-inspiring melodies like a song bird in the high trees in Spring.

My thoughts were brought to a stop when my teary eyes caught hold of a small piece of paper laying in the middle of the piano room. Nothing else had been placed in the space except that paper, and it was puzzling to me that it had been left there.

Naturally, my inquisitiveness got the better of me, and I found myself walking forward towards the room and standing in front of the paper; and it was then that I noticed the writing on the front of it.

"Sienna"

The piece of paper read, in a familiar writing font that I had seen many times, and belonged to the person that I was most hurt to see leave me. I took a shaky breath as I bent down to pick it up, and slowly unfolded it to reveal its contents.

Sienna,

I am sincerely sorry to have left you like this. This was not my decision…this was not my motive. I tried so many times to tell Edward that it was much better for us to stay here in Forks, but he had made his mind up, which meant all of us were in with his decision.

I'm sorry I never got to say goodbye to you and Bella properly. You two are like my sisters; my family…and to leave you both killed me. But I want you to know that you will be just fine without us. Your strong, Sienna. You can handle this.

Just be safe, and look after Bella. I've seen the result of our departure on her already. All I can say is…watch her, carefully too. She won't be thinking straight for the next couple of months. Be extremely vigilant of her.

And you…you be careful moreover. Keep your eyes open, there are treacherous things in this world, and I'd hate to see you the victim of them. It makes me additionally uneasy leaving without knowing your future. I love you with everything I have in me, Sienna. It breaks my heart to have left you in this mess, but I'm sure you'll find your way out of it.

Be safe…I'm always watching.

-Alice.

As I stared down at the piece of paper, my teardrops started to hit the page causing the ink to start running. I dropped the letter and clutched my hand over my mouth as I held back more tears and paced around the empty room.

All I wanted was to go back to yesterday and pretend that none of this was happening to me. I felt so lost and useless and alone in that dire time. The people that I would turn to in a situation like this, weren't in my life anymore. So who was left? Who could I ask for help without telling them the entire truth of the nights events? And that's when a startling idea hit me, something I should of thought of long ago.

I should have gone to him from the beginning. Going to the Cullen's house was definitely a dead end, and just left me feeling more unaccompanied and displeased than I had been before I had arrived. But Jacob on the other hand…he could definitely help tonight.

I didn't know why I didn't go to him first. I knew he could help me in my time of need. He'd know what to do straight away, and I knew I would feel at least a little calmer knowing he was concurring the night with me and not leaving me unaided.

But how was I to tell Jacob of the night without telling him the full story? Which included Bella's birthday party, which then included everything that had happened to me.

There was a slight risk, but I was obviously not going to tell him everything…not tonight anyway. I didn't even know when or if I would ever tell Jacob about the Cullen's. Knowing I was already in the eye of danger because of my knowledge of their world, it terrified me to think Jacob suffering the consequences because I unmasked this supernatural world to him.

If I was to ever hurt Jacob, in any way, shape or form…I would never forgive myself. That's was the unconditional truth, and it was something I would never lie about to anyone who might ask me.

I sniffed and cleared my throat as I slid my phone out of my pocket, punching in a group of numbers that I remembered like the back of my hand. I bit my lip nervously waiting for the ringer to come to a stop.

"Hello…" a sleepy, grumpy voice echoed throughout the phone. The second I heard his voice, I slowly released the air I'd been holding in a took a deep breath as I spoke.

"Jacob it's me…I , uh…I-," I stumbled over my words.

"This better be good, Si…" he grumbled snappily over the phone.

I scoffed humorously for a quick moment, thinking how utterly flipped this situation was. I looked up once again at the empty house, taking in everything that was left of it one last time before I made my way out the door, picking up Alice's letter before I did.

"Trust me…this is definitely not good,"

My hair swayed softly as the cool breeze of the night rushed passed. I pulled my arms tighter around me as I lingered around Jacob's shed waiting for him to emerge from his small house. My body leaned against the Rabbit's hood as I finally took a moment to just breath a little.

I felt like I was in a race against time, and I still was being tugged along in this fanatical night. My eyes started to swell up in tears which weren't that much of a surprise to me anymore.

I just felt like this was all my fault. If only I told Bella what was Edwards motives were towards her, maybe she would have fought for him; maybe this would all be okay. I wouldn't be here. I wouldn't be worried sick for her safety and I wouldn't be pulling Jacob into this mess with me.

I let out an exhausted sigh and glanced ahead of me, looking straight into the dark shadows of the woods. The wind blew frantically now, causing the trees to rock back and forth in a dance of the night.

My eyes suddenly widened when I spotted that same familiar shadow that had terrified me to my inner core. The air caught in my throat and my stomach lurched as I kept my eyes fixed on that silhouette. I sauntered forward out of the garage and into the moonlight, coming to a halt as I gasped at the sight in front of me.

From the woods dark edges, that same shadow emerged and took a few steps out into the light; exposing its great height and figure. The wolf stood taller than any animal I had seen.

I got a better look at it as the moon showed its identity. Its wore a shiny coat of fur, the colour of ink covered it from head to toe. His pointed teeth visible even through the far distance between us.

My breathing quickened as the wolf started gradually walking closer from across the yard. I stumbled backwards, almost tripping over before a pair of sturdy, warm arms caught me and spun me around rapidly.

"What are you doing, Sienna?" Jacob asked looking at me apprehensively.

"I…the- uh…" I turned behind me to show him the looming beast. But when I looked around…nothing was to be found. No wolf, no not anything…it was no where in sight. This night was making me delusional!

"Do you mind telling me the reason you've pulled me out of my bed at midnight?" I flinched at the sound of his voice snapping at me angrily, as he pulled me into the light of the shed. I stared up at him. My eyes swelled, with tears flowing down my face; my mouth opening and closing but no words surfacing.

When he saw my appearance, his face immediately softened and his tight grip was released as his hands slid down to mine and held them gently. My hands shuddered timidly from what about to reveal to him.

"What happened, Si?" he asked concerned. My lips started to tremble and my tears started to come out uncontrollably as my emotions finally were all released to someone I could express them to.

"I don't know where she is, Jake. He just left, and she hasn't come back. She's in the woods somewhere…I t-think, I don't know. I just came here because I thought you could help, but I don't know where she is, and-," I continued on a crying rant before he cut me off.

"Wait…who?" he questioned perplexed. I stopped and took a deep breath before I started again, knowing I was going to have to give away a little more details than I had.

"Edward left Bella…he took her into the woods next to our house, and s-she…she hasn't come back, Jake. I've looked everywhere, and I can't find her. And its all my fault…what if something bad has happened? I let her go with him…I let her go!" I cried in desperation, placing my palms on my face as I wept.

My body was slightly drawn forward until it met with Jacob's chest and his embracive arms wrapped themselves around me, pulling me even closer than I had been before. I shook rapidly as my cries echoed throughout the walls of the shed. His serene voice whispered soothing words in my ear, and as composing as his presence was to me, my state was too puzzled to comprehend what he was uttering.

I felt weak and defeated as he held me, but nothing really mattered, for it seemed Jacob had the talent of building a wall around my reality. His presence was a plug in my emotions, which made everything fade away. Yet, Jacob's wall would only block out my arising fears, then he'd leave my side and I was left with the sting of my truth.

All I needed was my best friend because I needed to just express myself for a few minutes. All night, I had been pushing my emotions behind the curtain of certainty, trying to accomplish something that just seemed to be slipping out of my hands.

Eventually, I calmed down and pulled away from Jacob's touch, shielding my face away from him and diverting my blurry gaze, feeling embarrassed of my appearance.

"What did your Dad say about all of this?" he queried with a concerned frown, wiping away a tear cascading down my cheek. I purposely kept my head down, trying to avoid his question and curious gaze.

"Really, Sienna? This is so typical, you never tell anyone about anything because you think you're protecting them," he exasperated, and I instantaneously knew he figured out my secret.

"What am I supposed to say, Jacob? He is going to flip when he finds out. I don't want him to worry," I tried to excuse myself from not telling my father of the nights events, and duly realising I had just proved Jacob's point of keeping things from my family for their safety.

"Sienna…Bella is missing. She could be in the middle of the woods for all you know… or somewhere worst," he said apprehensively watching me cautiously making sure I wouldn't react badly to the thought of Bella being in danger.

"I know. I just don't know how to tell him…" I muttered looking to my feet. I heard him sigh and take a few steps forward before his hand slid under my chin, and slowly, my eyes raised up to meet up with his.

"I'll come with you," he said kindly as he gazed amiably at me. And unexpectedly, that flicker…that strange ember in his dark eyes, glazed upon his irises and his tender stare appeared to be…looking straight into my soul.

I blinked a few times, snapping myself back into my reality and letting a appreciative smile creep up on my lips as I stared back at Jacob. A pleasant grin appeared on his face also and I found myself moving forward and wrapping my arms around his torso.

"Thank you…" I whispered into his chest.

"Anytime…preferably at a different hour, though. Because…-well you know, I need my beauty sleep," he remarked sarcastically. I let go of him and let out a light-hearted laugh, something I thought I would not express that night. But that was what Jacob did. He made me forget everything I left behind just for a little while, and let me enjoy the happiness I felt when I was with him.

"C'mon, let's go," he pulled me along out of the shed.

"Wait…where are we going?" I asked curiously, my laugh dying out as I pondered over the ideas his crazy mind had come up with.

"To someone who can help," he replied simply.

"And who would that be?" I furrowed my eyebrows, while he turned his head and looked back at me as we walked; a sardonic grin planted in his face.

"It's time to see the Chief, Si…"

"I'm going to try and call the Cullen's again," My Dad's voice popped up as we all sat around the police cruiser. I was right, my Dad flipped out, when I told him…and then he went and ordered a whole search party to go and look for Bella. Also stated that after we found Bella, he would track down and kill Edward…that would be a entertaining investigation. The town would be talking about Bella's absence for weeks; I could just imagine it now. What Bella was going to deal with after all this mess, it most definitely wouldn't be easy.

"Dad, I told you already…their gone, their not coming back," I said sadly as I watched my Dad completely ignore me as he dialled up the Cullen's home number for about the hundredth time.

I sighed unhappily, knowing how much my Dad was worrying. His daughter was missing, it was a normal reaction. But it hurt me severely to see him in a hopeless state; it made me think how bad I looked only hours ago when I was stuck in this mess alone.

My hand was tugged slightly as Jacob pulled me into his arms, noticing my distressing expression as I gazed at my father. I rested my head on his chest, letting out an exhausted sigh and closing my eyes; just wanting this damn night to be over once and for all.

"They'll find her, Si…she's around here somewhere," he murmured into my ear. I desperately wanted to believe him, but what if he was wrong? Anything could of happened to Bella. I mean, there was a wolf following me before.

So what else lingered deeper within these woods?

I slowly reopened my tired eyes, and when I saw the sight in front of me, that heavy burden I had been carrying around all night with me, that impeccable guilt and pain I felt because I blamed myself for Bella not coming home…it was all lifted.

"Jacob…" I stared wide-eyed as a unidentified man; with no shirt on I might add, carried Bella in his arms as he walked over to us. Jacob called over my Dad immediately, while I ran forward as fast as I could to Bella.

As I got closer, I realised who the man was. Sam Uley, a member of the tribe in La Push. Also, a supposed steroid cult leader, according to Jacob. Bella looked limp and weak as she was held in Sam's muscular arms.

"She's alright, she's alright," Sam stated as my panicked father ran up and scooped Bella into his arms. I stood their hopeless, not knowing what to say or do. My Dad quickly expressed a thanks towards Sam before hurriedly taking Bella inside.

"How did you find her?" I asked curiously as I watched my Dad carry my sister into the house. I turned back to him waiting for him to respond to my question. He stared hard at me, his body rigid; not even shivering the slightest as the chill swarmed around us.

"Billy called me. I know the woods pretty well…figured I'd lend a hand," he replied in a monotone. I nodded understandingly.

"Well…thank you," I said gratefully, knowing if it wasn't for Sam, Bella would be still left alone and defenceless in the woods all night. He gave a stiff nod and turned his concentration to something behind me.

I furrowed my eyebrows in confusion and turned my attention to look at what interested him so greatly. I almost wanted to roll my eyes at the two of them, staring each other down. I shook my head and walked over to where Jacob stood. He didn't even look at me once I reached him. Just continued death staring Sam from across the yard.

"Jacob…" I said softly as I tugged on his arm in an attempt to move him. But all he did was pull me into his side and stand in front of me protectively. I momentarily looked over at Sam again, almost wanting to run from his menacing stare. He looked like he wanted to rip Jacob apart.

"Jake…" I looked up at him, worried some sort of brawl would end up happening. I really didn't feel like I could undergo another dilemma that night. But my worries were wiped when Jacob finally broke the stare-down, grabbing my hand and pulling me towards the front door, mumbling something unintelligible similar to "Doesn't he own a shirt"

"What was that about," I said hushed as we walked into the house.

"Nothing…don't worry about it. Come on, lets see how Bel-," but I wasn't listening to Jacob anymore, for the sight in front of me struck a revulsion through me that blurred everything around me out.

There, laying on the couch…my sister, or what was left of her really. For it seemed that the Bella I knew was not in front of me. The girl I saw was weak, pale in colour; the look of life no where to be found on her pallid face.

"He's gone…he's gone…he's gone," she repeated over and over again. My hand covered my mouth aghast as I saw my broken-hearted sister wail in despair. The tears; again, swelled up in my eyes as the guilt overpowered me more than ever.

I couldn't bear the sound of her wounded voice anymore. I found myself running up the stairs to my room, slamming the door behind me and collapsing on the side of my bed.

I felt this sickening sensation in the pit of my stomach, like I had committed the worst offense that was known to the human society. My chest burned in agony, knowing that I was the cause of Bella's state. Could I ever look in the eyes of my sister again, knowing what I knew? Would I be able to live with this sickening guilt knowing I caused this forever pain on her?

"Si…" I heard Jacob's voice, and his footsteps walk closer and closer towards me. I kept my head down and continued to tremble as my cries travelled throughout my body.

I felt myself being turned to face the other way, no energy within me to draw away from Jacob's grasp. His arms engulfed me and held me assuring as I my endless tears poured out.

"This is all my fault, Jake…it's all my fault," I recounted. He pulled away from me and looked me straight in the eye, passion and devotion swimming in the pools of his irises.

"Listen to me, Sienna. None of this is your fault," I couldn't bear to look at him, and my watch fell down to the floor, my arms sluggishly falling beside me before Jacob picked them up reassuringly.

"He did this to her, this was his decision and you had no part in it. Don't you dare blame yourself for this, I wont let you! You hear me, Si…I won't let you!" he said in a zealous tone, before he pulled me into his chest once again.

I was extremely grateful that I had Jacob with me, without him I didn't know how I would have gotten through that treacherous night. And how I wanted so badly to leave this guilt behind me.

My mother would always tell me "Sometimes bad things happen, so you look forward to the good things ahead of you". But I knew better than that, and I knew Bella better than that.

Tonight was just the commencement of a nightmare that I would never wake up from.

A/N : PLEEEASE REEEAAAADDD..THANK YOU!

I will never understand why Edward just left Bella in the woods. Like, take her up to her room or something and then jump out the window…like what he did with Sienna…see vampires don't think…*tsk, tsk*

Hahaha…well, how did you like it? Was it alright? I always like to think Sienna is just the strong, courageous girl…but in fact she really has a soft side to her, and only a few people bring it out…one guess who one of them might be…huh? ;)
