Previously...

"...love...need..moving..." I snapped my eyes to Edward and placed my hand gentle on his cheek trying to work out what he was saying. His hand cupped my hand on his cheek and he spoke again. Still I only grasped a few words out of the sentence. I shook my head and pointed with my other hand to my ear hoping that he would understand. His cheeks stretched out and I knew that he was smiling down at me.

He removed his hand and cupped my cheek leading my lips closer to his as soon as they connected I knew that I was safe, wherever Edward was I was going to be safe. He picked up my hands and wrapped them around his neck, just how we normally kissed but it was different this time, he pulled back all to soon as I felt one of his arms wrapped under my knees and the other wound gentle around my back as he picked me up into his arms.

I let my eyes close as my hearing slowly came back and my vision slowly healed itself. I could feel the small movements of Edward's breathing, the only this keeping me sane at the moment. I hadn't realised that I had fallen asleep until I felt everything stop, Edward's breathing faulted and his steps stopped. There was no sound coming off anything or anyone around us. I slowly opened my eyes and groaned as the blinding colours pained my retina's, I tried again blinking furiously as I opened my eyes and realised that they were in complete focus.

I looked up and noticed Edward staring out into the distance, his arms still holding onto me tightly

"Edward?" my voice croaked but didn't falter him at all, I swallowed and tried again. This time his gaze slowly left the scene in front of us and his eyes landed on mine. His blank face broke out into his signature grin as he realised I was now awake and fully functioning.

"Bella," he whispered and placed his lips against mine.

"Bells," we snapped apart and I saw Jasper staring at me. But what my eyes did connect with was the thing sitting safely at the bottom of the hill...

Hope.

And Now...

"There's a town!" Alice screamed out the obvious as she bounded into Jasper's arms. Edward slowly placed me onto my feet, but kept his arms wrapped around my waist, making sure that I didn't fall over. We walked together to the edge of the cliff where we saw the small village at the bottom. Relief washed through me as a final feeling of saviour was settling in.

"Were going to be ok," it came out more like a statement than it did a question. Edward placed his chin on my shoulder and kissed my neck.

"We are." He agreed and squeezed me tighter to him.

"Guys, let's keep moving" Jasper grabbed the bag off the ground and nodded towards a small path that looked accessible enough to walk down. We all followed closely and I couldn't help but notice that our pace seemed to be a lot quicker than it was less than an hour ago.

We walked through the dense bush for what seemed hours, but none of us even gave it a thought to slow down or to even rest. The village seemed to disappear from site every now and then so we stopped and had someone climb a tree to make sure that we were going in the right direction.

"Guys look!" Emmett shouted out and pointed towards a very prominent looking wooden fence. It would have been hard to notice with all the trees surrounding it so tightly, but there it was safety. We each made it over the fence quickly and ducked down behind the shrubbery.

"We can't just go out there," Rose announced and we all agreed. With our luck we would run straight into someone that was working for Aro and we would be up shit creek again.

"I'll go look around the sides, Emmett check the windows and Jazz check the other side. Rose, Alice you look after Bella." Edward spoke and I was about to protest before he looked at me.

"Any other time I would let you go Bella, but right now you don't have the strength alright," he spoke with full authority before I nodded and he kissed my forehead. Rose helped me sit down in between her and Alice and the boys went to look for anything.

"So who made the flash bang?" I asked curiously, they both looked at each other and spoke in unison.

"Jasper," they smiled. Of course it was Jasper he was an absolute war nut.

"How exactly?" I questioned, it wasn't as if there was a spare flash bang lying in the middle of the forest.

"I don't know the details but apparently he took shavings from a can and added something else before lighting it and throwing it into the open. He kind of did it all in the moment and before any of us realised what he was doing he told us to shut our eyes and cover our ears." Rose shrugged.

We sat there in silence for another few minutes before Jasper returned.

"Anything?" Alice asked and he shook his head.

"Nothing, there was a car running in the garage that seemed weird but I couldn't see anyone," he spoke and wrapped his arms back around Alice.

"Where are the others?" Just as Rose finished we noticed Emmett and Edward walking back. I felt my smile appear on my face, that was until I noticed the look on theirs.

"What happened?" I questioned, swallowing deeply. Emmett shook his head and went to sit by Rose, which was when I noticed something red on Edward's hands. Blood, but it wasn't his and it wasn't any of ours.

"Edward," my voice croaked as I looked back up into his eyes.

"Something's wrong here," he whispered before taking off his shirt and wiping his hands. I quickly pushed off the back fence and walked slowly towards him. He was furiously rubbing his hands trying to remove the blood. I placed my hands on top of his and took control and slowly wiped off the blood.

"What did you see?" I whispered as I noticed his eyes filling up. He shook his head and quickly wrapped his arms around me, pulling me into his chest.

"We can't stay here." He stated.

"Why not, we need help?" Rose snapped and Emmett shushed her slightly bringing her back into his lap. Something had happened, they saw something and it was not good.

"We get supplies and we leave." Emmett spoke out and Edward nodded in confirmation.

"But we need to speak to the police, someone." Alice interjected.

"There's no one here..." Edward whispered and all our eyes snapped to his.

"What do you mean?" I whispered and lifted his chin so that I could see his eyes.

"The family that lived in this house, they were... they're gone," Edward stuttered. Edward never stuttered. They weren't just gone, they were murdered.

"Let's get inside," Emmett whispered and lifted Rose to her feet. Edward placed his arm around my waist and the other under my knees and scooped me up into his arms. I was about to protest before he cut me off with his lips.

"I just need to hold you right now okay." He whispered and I nodded, wrapping my arms around his neck and pressing my lips against his chest. Jasper held the side door open and we slowly walked into the empty house. Alice and Jasper went straight to the couch and sat down still clutching to each other. Jasper reached over to the coffee table and picked up the cordless phone, I didn't need to ask the question, already knowing the answer as he placed the phone back on the table. Just our luck, the phones were down.

Emmett laid Rose down on the long couch and sat down on the floor next to her. I noticed the silent tears running down Rose's cheeks as she ran her nails through Emmett's curls. Edward lowered my feet to the ground, but I kept my arms wrapped around his neck and hugged him to me.

"I love you Bella, please don't ever forget that." He whispered into my neck as he crushed me to his body.

"I love you Edward." I loosened my arms from around his neck and pressed my forehead against his.

"We will get out of this, I promise." He spoke directly into my eyes and quickly pressed his lips to mine.

"I know."

"I've got to do something, can you check for food?" he asked as he slowly released me from his arms. I nodded and stepped out of his arms.

"Emmett, give us a hand?" Edward spoke and Emmett looked up and nodded. I noticed that they both seemed to go pale, I had a slight suspicion as to what they were about to do. But I didn't want to voice it, voicing it always made it seem so much more realistic.

I headed towards the kitchen and started opening each of the cupboards and pulling out anything that was still edible. By the looks of the food in the fridge, no one had been here for at least a week. Most of the fruit and vegetables were all off, apart from a few apples that were still in the fridge. All the cold meat was gone and I quickly placed it all in a garbage bag and took it out the back door.

As I walked back inside I noticed a small freezer inside the laundry, as I opened it up I couldn't help but smile. The family that lived here obviously had a small chief, there was a whole freezer full of frozen food, meets, bread and a few vegetables. I pulled out a frozen block of steaks and headed back to the kitchen.

I went to work quickly trying to do anything to distract myself from what Edward and Emmett were doing. I pulled out a bag of potatoes from under the sink and went to work quickly peeling and washing them. Just as I lifted the pot I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen. I placed the pot back on the sink and clutched my hand to my stomach.

That blood had to have come from someone, and that someone was around this house. Knowing both Emmett and Edward they wouldn't want any of us having to see that.

"Something smells good," I looked up and noticed Edward leaning up against the doorframe with his arms crossed over his chest. His hair was wet and he had a different set of clothes on.

"Well dinner is almost ready," I laughed and went back to the pot of potatoes. They weren't fresh enough to have roasted but they were good enough to mash.

"So, what's on the menu today, Chef Swan?" Emmett laughed and saw down on one of the breakfast stools.

"Steak and mashed potatoes," my smile widened as I saw the pure happiness in his eyes. Food was definitely going to be a good thing for us right now, we needed something to be happy about, and we needed something to bring our moods up.

"Hey guys I've found us each some clean clothes," I looked up and noticed Rose placing several piles of clothes on the edge of the couch. She too had wet hair and a clean pair of clothes on.

"I also found a first aid kit," she looked at me, followed by everyone else.

"Oh come on, let me finish dinner then you can all play doctor alright." I laughed as they all rolled their eyes at me.

"Fine, but as soon as your knife and fork are down your lying on your back, got it." Jasper pointed at me.

"Yes, mister Whitlock," I laughed and went back to my potatoes.

As soon as dinner was set and ready to go we all sat around the large dining room table and stared down at the feast in front of us.

"I know this is kind of out of the ordinary, but could we say something?" we all looked up and at Rose, she had her teeth biting into her lip as if we were to reject her suggestion. If anything I was all for it, the amount of shit we've been through in the past however many days, a little bit of faith couldn't hurt right.

"I'm in," I whispered and help my hands on top of the table ready for both Edward and Jasper. They quickly grabbed on and linked hands with everyone else, until we were all connected once more.

"What do we do now?" Jasper asked sheepishly, none of us were really religious. We didn't sit down at dinner and say thanks for the food in front of us and we didn't go to church on Sunday's, but we did appreciate what we had. There was however a time in my life when I did turn to god, when I found myself kneeling down at the edge of my bed with my hands clasped together and fingers brushing my forehead. That was the only time I had asked god for anything, I asked him to bring my father back.

"I want to say thanks to my new friends and my family. I pray that they are safe and that we stay safe."Rose whispered as she closed her eyes and lowered her head.

"Please look out for us, please look after my friends and my family. And please, please let us survive this." Emmett pleaded while looking up to the roof.

"I thank whoever is up there for keeping us safe so far, and hope that you watch over us for the remainder of this ordeal and please keep us safe." Alice swallowed back a sob and clutched onto Jasper's hand.

"Just keep my family safe, that's all I ask." Jasper chocked back a tear and looked in my direction. I knew that when he mentioned family that he meant all of us. We were a family now, no matter what happened we were in this together.

"I want to thank my father for watching over us, I know you're up there. Please guide us through this, please let us be safe. Please let my friends make it through this," I whispered the last part as a tear fell from my eyes. I knew that this was mainly my fault, they were after me. They were after something that I supposedly had, I dragged my friend's lives into this and it will forever be my fault.

"Thankyou to whoever is up there, even though this is a fucked up situation. Without any of this, I would never have met Bella, I would never had made three fantastic new people to add to my family. But in light of the events, I want whoever up there to take a good long hard look at what we've been through and cut us some fucken slack! We didn't deserve this, no one here has deserved what we have been through-" I quickly stood up from my chair and stepped behind Edward to wrap my arms around his neck.

"It's alright baby, we will get through this. We will all get through this together." I whispered and kissed his neck.

"I'm sorry," Edward whispered and wrapped his arm around my neck and held me to him.

"We will get through this," I finally spoke not only to Edward but to everyone else. I had seen the doubt in their eyes several times, but there was one thing I was sure of, was if we stuck together then we would make it.

"Alright, enough with the what if's, let's eat!" Emmett laughed lightening up the atmosphere as I sat back down in my own chair. The mood seemed to lift dramatically as we sat around and forgot about where exactly we were eating and just enjoyed each other's company.

Just when I thought nothing else could go wrong, it did. The sound was a low buzz, something that sounded like a phone vibrating. That was until I looked out the window and saw the spot light heading down the mountain and towards the village. It was searching for us.

"The helicopters back, everyone get down!" Jasper shouted and ran towards the lights and flicked them off. We all stayed glued to the floor in pure darkness as the roof, windows and floor shook.
