STILL NOT HER!

I didn't want to leave Bella

I didn't want to leave Bella. The feeling of leaving her was horrible. I only came because I knew it was for my own good and for hers. I needed to hunt before I changed her. I needed to hunt so it would be easier to stop when I bit Bella. I figured we would just go up to some woods somewhere and I would eat dull, but my family surprised me by taking me up to one of the local mountain ranges that had an increase of Mountain Lions. My attitude even brightened when they told me this out of my love of lions.

After hunting quite a few lions the phone call I had made to Bella only made me miss her more. I already missed her, but when I found that she had a nightmare after I had left, all I could think about all day was seeing her. I was so angry that I had left. Why couldn't I have just stayed in Willow Creek? I wouldn't have to miss her and I would have been there when she woke up. I was in the process of punching the nearest tree when the wind shifted and I smelt the sweet smell of a lion. I crouched down, staring at the lion waiting for its next move.

"Edward!" Alice's voice shrieked through the forest. I figured it could wait, seeing as how I was ready to attack a large lion, Alice could wait. "EDWARD!" Her voice screeched again. "Edward! It's Bella!" Alice could wait, Bella, however, could not. I took off running.

I found Alice in a matter of seconds. "Alice! What is it?" I grabbed her by the shoulders before her vision flashed across my mind. Bella was sitting peacefully in our room, glass shattered, Bella screamed and then suddenly… nothing. She was gone. "We have to call Carlisle!" I shouted. I took out my cell phone and dialed quickly and waited anxiously for the phone pick up. Carlisle answered the phone softly. Why, of all days, was he being so peaceful?

"Hello?" He answered slowly.

"Carlisle! Where's Bella?" I demanded loudly, shaking with rage.

"She is in your room, Edward, what is going on?" He asked, sounding too calm.

"Alice just had a vision. She said she could see Tanya and you and Esme, and she could see Bella on the couch then the glass broke and Bella screamed and then it just went black. Carlisle, what's going on?!" I asked angrily.

"I don't know, Edward. Everything is fine here." The moment he spoke the sound of glass shattering rang through the phone and Bella's scream filled my ears.

"NO! DAMMIT!" I shouted as I heard the phone hit the floor. Alice was pacing in front of me and shuddered at the volume of my voice. I was shaking again. "Alice, get everyone now. We're leaving." Alice stared at me for a moment. "NOW!" I bellowed and the forest shook. She took off running and I ran in the direction of the cars. I waited at the cars anxiously for everyone else. In a matter of minutes they were all standing in front of me, looking irritated. Jasper's face filled with concern and Rosalie and Emmett looked at me impatiently.

"Something has happened to Bella. We need to go now." I said, trying to stay patient.

"Aw, come on, Eddie! We just got started! I had a nice bear lined up and everything!" Emmett whined.

"Emmett, shut the hell up! That mutt has Bella!" I screamed. Emmett's face tensed as did Rosalie's and Jasper's.

"I'm driving." Rosalie said shortly as she ran over to me and stole the keys from my hand. I went to object but realized I was in no state to drive. I crammed myself into the backseat of my Volvo as Alice loaded into the front. Emmett and Jasper jumped in the Jeep and drove off as quickly as I did.

As touching as it was to see how protective they all were of Bella, my anxiety didn't subside. I needed to see her now.

"Rose!" I screamed, crammed in the back of my own Volvo. "Can't you go ANY faster?!"

"We will BE there in less than a few minutes, Edward. And for your information, we're almost hitting 195. Thank you." Rosalie snapped back.

I rested my elbow on my knee and placed my fingers around the bridge of my nose. I squeezed, trying to relieve the pressure. All I could see when I did this was Bella lying alone and bleeding. I couldn't keep doing this. I felt the car come to an immediate stop as Emmett's wrangler pulled behind us. I slammed open the door to my Volvo and rushed inside our house to find Carlisle and Esme pacing anxiously on the porch.

Edward, I am so sorry… This is entirely my fault. We will find her. I promise you. He said to me through his thoughts. I shook my head angrily.

"This isn't your fault, Carlisle. I shouldn't have left her." I said through my teeth.

"I should have seen it sooner." Alice chipped in.

"We are not going to find Bella with all of you trying to blame yourselves!" Rosalie shouted at us. We all looked at her awestruck. No one expected Rosalie to be this determined about finding Bella.

"How are we going to find her?" Emmett asked innocently. Alice closed her eyes, focusing hard on something she couldn't possibly see.

"It's no use, Alice." I sighed, seeing the same thing she was; blackness. She let out a sob as she clung to Jasper. This family was bare without Bella, and we all knew it. Even Rosalie.

"We will just have to split up and look for them." Carlisle said, breaking the hopelessness. "When anyone even thinks they have found them, call everyone else. It is very vital that this it what happens. If what is happening is what I believe to be true, Tanya and Jacob are working together in this. However, tracking will be almost impossible; both of their scents have been all over this forest within the last day.

"How did we not catch their scents?" Jasper asked angrily. I knew the answer.

"She has a gift of covering up her tracks." I said through gritted teeth. Jasper's fists tightened and Emmett grew more vicious.

"So, it's agreed to be sure to alert us if anyone finds anything?" Carlisle asked as we all started getting ready to run off. We all nodded and checked for our cell phones. In that second, we all took off running at a vampire speed, and none of us knew where we were going. My heart cried out for Bella, and it took everything in me not to break down sobbing for her. I had to find her. I had to bring her home safe. If I did not, I would never forgive myself…
