Chapter 25: Love Lies Bleeding

BPOV

When Jacob was done with me, he pulled my already bleeding body into the cabin. He deposited my body onto the bedroom floor hard.

"Get up bitch!?!" he yelled. I tried to rise, only to fail. Jacob stomped down on my arm. I heard the bone crack. "That'll teach you to listen to me." He turned and left the room.

I bit my already swollen lip, trying to keep from crying. I felt one of the twins kick. "It's okay guys," I whispered, "momma's here." I knew I had to try to get out of this. If not for me, then for the babies. I knew I didn't have much time. I glanced around the room. There was nothing but a bed, a desk, and a window. Dad and Emmett had obviously not spent much time here in the last couple of years. Dad had always preferred fishing to hunting, although I do remember Emmett telling me about bringing Edward and Jasper here once. I smiled at the thought of my three guys here in this cabin, laughing, just enjoying life. The thought of Emmett pulled me back into reality. My brother wouldn't laugh again. Jacob had killed him.

I only had one chance to escape. I had to get out of the cabin. I could hide in the woods, Jake grew up in Jacksonville I was banking on the fact that I could hide here and he not find me. My mind was made up. I scrambled from the floor, my arm protesting at the sudden movements. I could hear Jake's footsteps coming closer. I rushed and locked it right before he twisted the knob.

"Bitch, let me in!?!" he bellowed. He began pounding on the door.

I moved toward the window, unlocked it, and pulled it upward. To my surprise it came up with ease. I pulled my leg up to the window sill. Once it was out I used my good arm to get pull myself up, and drop down to the porch. He was still pounding, he hadn't heard me. The door couldn't hold out much longer, then he'd see the window and know I was out. I had to act fast. I ran back toward Em's Jeep. I tried the doors. Locked, damn. I turned toward the road. Running at my full spend I knew I had to get back to the road.

A scream broke through the silent night. "It'll do you no good to run Bella. I'll catch you whore!?!" Jacob screamed. He knew I was out. I didn't turn back. I didn't want to see him coming. My footsteps pounded against the gravel. Luckily I had always been in pretty good shape. One would be surprised how fast they could go if their life depended on it.

"Isabella stop?!?!" his voice was closer.

It was only a matter of time. I placed my good arm around my stomach. "I'm sorry guys, I'm so sorry." That was it. Jacob launched himself at me. I plummeted to the ground landing on my side. I could feel the gravel tear into my skin.

"Stupid bitch. I told you not to run." Jacob screamed. He began beating me. I curled up into a ball to prevent much damage to the twins. I didn't know why, I knew I was going to die here on the road but I just couldn't stand the thought of Jake hurting my babies. Suddenly Jacob stopped. I could faintly here the sound of a car coming, but so could Jacob.

"Look's like I'll have to hurry Isabella." Just then Jake pulled a knife from his back pocket. As he opened it, the car approached. A silver Volvo. It was Edward. As the car screeched to a halt, Jake plunged the knife into my chest. I was going to die.

My cell phone had rang continuously since I'd left the hospital. I wouldn't answer. I had to think. I had to make a plan. I was almost to the cabin when I saw a strange site. Someone was in the road. I sped up. It was already dark so it was impossible to see what was going on, but that didn't matter. Whatever it was, it couldn't be good. I needed to do something. I pulled the Volvo to a halt and jumped out. A gleam from the headlights revealed a knife in the man's hand.

It was Jacob, without thinking I ran toward him. The knife flew from his hand hitting the ground with a thud. I pounded his head against the road. Anger filed my body. I wanted to kill Jacob. I wanted him to pay for everything he'd done to my family. He tried to push me off him. I hit harder. I keep hitting until he stopped moving. He was out cold. My knuckles were burning. I heard a moan from the other side of the road. I saw a crumpled body. It was my Bella. I rushed over to her. I turned her to her back.

"Bella, love." I murmured.

She moaned. I lifted her gently into my arms. I felt a warmth covering my arms. I looked down to see a rather large puddle of blood. I rushed her toward my car. I placed her carefully in the front seat. I started the car, I had to get her to the hospital.

"Edward," she whispered. "Edward, I love you."

I squeezed her hand, she protested in agony. "I love you too, Isabella." I cried. The warm tears streaming down my face.

"Edward, you have to take care of the twins." She choked. "Make them save the babies."

"Bella, we'll take care of the twins, together." Her breathing was becoming more ragged. "Hold on Bells, hold on." I begged as I pulled into the hospital parking lot. The Volvo came to a halt. I scooped her up and ran through the emergency room doors.

"Help, somebody help us please!" I yelled. People rushed to our aid. I placed Bella on a gurney. I tried to follow her as they wheeled her away.

"Edward, go find your parents. We'll do everything we can for her." Catlyn, a nurse I knew told me.

I collapsed on the cold hospital floor. "God, please don't take Bella away. I love her. I love the twins. I need her." I cried. My world was crumbling away.

I felt two arms wrap around my shoulders. "Edward, what's happened? Why are you crying?" a shaky Alice asked. I hugged her tightly. "Edward, you're scaring me," she cried. "Jazz." She beckoned. Soon he was by her side.

"What's wrong?" Jazz asked her.

"I don't know, I've asked him, but he's not answering."

"Edward, man. Tell me what's happened." Jazz was shaking my shoulders by now.

"Bella," I gulped back the tears, "I found her."

"Where is she?" Alice screamed. Jazz ran down the hall, no doubt to retrieve the others.

"They took her back there." I pointed to the double doors they'd rushed her through. "There was so much blood." In fact looking down I was covered in my Bella blood. "Jacob stabbed her."

"What?!?!" Charlie screamed. Carlisle rushed through those doors.

"Yeah, I was on my way to the cabin to think things out and I saw him in the road. We fought. He was unconscious and then I heard Bella. She was moaning from the side of the road. He'd left her there to die." I cried.

"Then what Edward?" my mother cooed.

"I bought her here. Jacob is still out there." I answered.

"I'll call the search party. If he's still there, they'll get him." Jazz flipped out his cell phone.

Mom was hugging Alice tightly. Somehow I thought both would fall apart without this. Charlie's face was twisted both with hatred and worry. I noticed Rose's absence.

"How's Emmett?" I asked. Alice sobbed harder.

"He's not doing so good. He's out of surgery, but he's lost a lot of blood. The bullet went through his kidney. They couldn't salvage it. " mom began.

"He's on a ventilator right now. His breathing was compromised due to the swelling in his face and neck. It's touch and go right now." My mom cried.

I walked over and grabbed a seat in the waiting room. I knew I'd be here for a while. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
