Okay so here is the sixth chapter! Yay! Sorry if the last chapter ended kind of lame but my beta reader said I need dramatic chapter endings but whatever. This chapter is where the action starts - every chapter after this will have some kind of event that puts Bella and the Cullens in more danger. Enjoy and PLEASE REVIEW!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Twilight. Who would've thought? All characters belong to Stephenie Meyer and only the basic plot is mine!


Chapter Six

Alice's statement pierced me with another feeling of dread. I blocked all the waves of emotions back that sooner or later I would have to feel: anger, despair, sorrow, hate. After I was done, and I repressed as much as I could, a sudden wave of drowsiness hit me. My eyes started to droop.

Edward whispered in my ear, "You can stay here tonight, you're exhausted."

"The…cruiser…" I mumbled, though I was barely awake.

"Alice will drive it home for you and she'll leave a note for Chief Swan." Edward said. "She'll tell you your story in the morning.

I felt Edward's arms around my body, lifting me up off the couch. In seconds we were inside is bedroom. He put a pillow and a blanket on the couch, removed my shoes, and laid me down. As he was leaning over me to place me down gently, the strong waves of electricity that we were both all to familiar with kicked on again. I was definitely not strong enough to resist.

I tugged on his shirt, signaling him to join me on the couch. To my surprise, he came with relative ease. I shrugged out of my hoodie and let it fall to the floor. He already had his shirt off. I rubbed his chest, he was sitting on top of me, and motioned with a finger for him to come down and join me. He leaned down and we were kissing, kissing more passionately then we ever had before. That's when we heard the sound of metal flying through glass down stairs. A lot of metal crashing through a lot of glass.

My only guess was that someone somehow managed to drive a car or something through the giant plate glass windows down below. My suspicions were confirmed when a large crack started tearing through Edward's wall size window. He muttered a curse under his breath and leapt off me. He was about to bound through his door when the part of his floor nearest the window started to break away and fall down to the first floor.

"Edward! What's happening?" I said, leaping off his bed, glad that neither of us had thought to take off the other's pants.

"I don't know, but we have to go," more of the floor crashed away. I could see the rubble on the first floor now, pretty soon Edward's whole room, his big comfy couch and all of his music collection, would be destroyed. "NOW!"

He grabbed me around my waist and ran full speed towards the hallway. Once he opened his door he swore, loud and clear. More then half of the hallway floor had come crashing down already.

"Bella," he said, straining to be calm. "You're going to want to close your eyes for this."

I closed my eyes as tight as I could as I crawled onto his back. He backed up, then took a running leap towards the opposite end of the hallway. I heard his feet hit the hallway wall on the opposite side of his bedroom door, and I couldn't be sure because my eyes were so tightly closed, but I swear that he started running full speed on the hallway wall towards the opposite end of the hall, where the stairs were.

Without thinking about what I was doing, I stuck out my hand as he ran across the wall at super sonic speed. I felt it hit something, which I immediately grabbed and pulled off of the wall. All of this happened in a matter of seconds. We were suddenly upright. I opened my eyes and looked over Edward's shoulder to see what he was staring at. Almost in slow motion, Edward's room and the room opposite it both broke apart and crashed to the floor below.

My eyes still wide in shock looked to my hand to see what I was holding. It was a cross. It was the cross that Carlisle's father had made over three centuries ago.


I was now standing outside what used to be the Cullen's beautiful mansion. Edward and his family were all trying to conceal the pain the felt for the loss of all their most cherished items, but I could plainly see their sorrow.

Apparently what happened was that a big car came crashing through the glass wall while the giant metal shutters were closing. They were already half way down when the car came through. The car caught on the shutters but was going at such high speeds that it just pulled the shutters with it. The shutters apparently were connected to the second story foundation, so when the shutter was pulled it brought the second floor with it. When part of the second floor crashed, the same area of the third floor came down too, causing all the books and computers and software on the third floor to be destroyed.

The worst part was that the car that came crashing through was my truck, though no one was driving it. My truck now forced the Cullens to be homeless. I felt so bad and responsible that I couldn't look any of them in the face.

Carlisle was now walking towards the rest of the Cullens and I after inspecting the house. He looked utterly exhausted. Emmett and Jasper were back now; Alice had called them.

"The good thing is that the basement where all of our personal documents where remained unharmed. We can sleep in there until we salvage everything we can from the rubble. After that we can just rent some dumpsters and start clearing away the mess." Carlisle said. "But now we have some more pressing matters to deal with."

I didn't miss the fact that Rosalie had been shooting me death glances this whole time.

"First, do we think this was the work of the Quileutes trying to drive us out?" he asked.
Edward answered first. We were all in the basement discussing this now so we wouldn't be overheard. "There was no one driving the truck, and it was going too fast for someone to have just hit the pedal and run."

They were all discussing this normally, though I could see the loss of their belongings was still eating them up inside.

"Plus, the truck wasn't running," said Alice in a hushed tone. Everyone stared at her with wide eyes. "I checked before we left, and there were no keys in the ignition. Not to mention we would've heard the truck's engine from a mile away."

"Then how was it-" Carlisle began, but Rosalie stood up, cutting him off.

"Are you really going to just sit around like our house didn't just come crashing down!" she yelled. "We just lost everything and you all are just going to hold it in!"

"Rosalie, we will discuss this later. We might be able to salvage most of the stuff later." Carlisle said calmly.

"No! We won't discuss this later! We will discuss this now while that little human," she sneered at the word, "is here!"

"Rosalie!" Carlisle commanded.

"It was her fault and you know it! If it wasn't for her ruining our lives one step at a time we might be able to relax! She will be the end of us! I know and Alice sure as hell knows it but one of us will die at her hands! She's ruining us, wasting our –" but she was cut off by Edward standing up and growling fiercely at her.

"You don't scare me, Edward! You don't even have enough backbone to change her!" she yelled.

I was sure someone was going to attack Rosalie. Alice was glaring at her with a stare so intense the hair on my arms raised. Edward was glaring at her with more anger then I've ever seen anyone ever possess.

"She's ruining us. Tearing us apart by putting us against each other!" Rosalie said, though her words weren't said as hard as before.

"Come on, Bella. I'm taking you home," said Edward fiercely, his voice breaking the long silence. I climbed onto his back and he sped away from the basement.

He silently scaled the wall of my house and crept into my bedroom. I laid on my mattress. He laid on it with me.

"I'm so sorry, Edward," I whispered. I started to cry silently.
"It's okay, the house can be replaced. So can everything inside. I'm just glad I didn't lose you. Don't take what Rosalie said personally, she was just…angry," he said soothingly.

I silently wondered what I would tell Charlie about my truck. It was destroyed in the crash. There was no way I would ask Edward what to say.

I was suddenly drowsy again. Edward could feel me growing sleepy.

"Go to sleep," he said softly, humming my lullaby in my ear.

"Will you be here when I wake up?" I said, though I was barely awake.

"I will always be here for you. Always," he whispered in my ear.

I succumbed to the tiredness with that in mind, but just as my eyes were about to close, I saw a pair of dark burgundy eyes staring at me from the darkness of my partially closed closet.


Yay so that's where the action begins. Poor Cullens, I felt bad destroying their house but it was necessary. Hope you enjoyed it and PLEASE REVIEW!
