Chapter 3: Time
(cpov)
I ran through the woods heading to the smallest least expensive hotel. if I know bella, and I think I do, she would be there. I knew she would tell Charlie, but she hated being spent money on, and If that is still true then she would tell Charlie where she was going, but wouldn't accept any money from him. oh Bella, she was always so simple. never wanted to be in the center of attention, never wanted anyone to fret over her. even when it was her birthday, she hated attention.
As I raced through the woods I thought back to her birthday, almost two years ago. how one tiny paper cut ruined everything. Jasper still blames himself for that. he wont talk to anyone but alice anymore, not unless he has to. I wish I had made us stay, ignored Edward and his ridiculous request. if we had stayed I wouldn't be racing through the woods against the clock to save the one human I never thought would make me and my family feel so...real.
I finally got to the hotel and ran inside, I went up to the desk "i'm here to see Bella Swan, she is expecting me, but she forgot to give me her room number. is there any way you could help me out?" I asked the young girl at the desk, I hated to 'dazzle' as Bella once said, but right now I went full dazzle. "um..i..I.. y-yeah" She struggled to form words as my'dazzle' hit her full force. I smiled at the girl as she looked up the room on her computer. "r-room 118, heres a key" she handed me the key and I thanked her before running down the hall.
I caught her scent in the hallway and prayed I wasn't too late to save her, even if I had to turn her myself, I wasn't going to lose her again.
I unlocked the door and rushed into the room, stopping in my tracks at what I saw.
