Kind of a short chapter, but here ya go!
I didn't see Drake the whole day. I didn't mind of course because that gave me time alone with Edward, though I was growing suspicious.
"Have you seen Drake?" I approached Phoenix who was studying the workings of a DVD player meticulously.
He looked up surprised.
"You don't know?" He inquired.
"Should I?"
"He went hunting with Edward Cullen." I froze.
"Where did they go Phoenix?" With one hand I lifted him of the couch, holding him by the collar of his shirt, inches from my face. He was terrified.
"V-vermont. I-I think." He stammered horrified.
I was enraged. Drake knew. And Cordelia must have told him. I flew to her in a fraction of a second.
"How could you?" I roared my lips pulled over my teeth in a snarl.
"I had to tell him Bella. You were going to get yourself killed and dismantle this coven. I can't let you do this. I won't." Though she tried to sound serious and stubborn, she was clearly scared to death if that was possible. Compared to me, Cordelia was weak. I could have easily killed her in an instant.
"If anything happens to Edward, I will never forgive you." I whispered low and threateningly. Cordelia's eyes grew wide in terror.
I raced to my car, grabbing Emmett, Carlisle, and Alice with me before they could even question my actions.
"What's going on?" Alice demanded.
"Edward's in danger." I said flatly, my breathing becoming irregular and harsh.
"Drake." She breathed after a long pause. She must have seen something.
"What is it Alice?" Carlisle asked calmly.
She wouldn't answer. Her face contorted in sorrow and worry. I knew we had to hurry. In the car I floored the gas peddle, causing even my Porsche to whine in protest. We flew through the woods of Maine toward Vermont.
"Where are they Alice? Do you have any idea?" I questioned.
"I-I don't know. I see trees, shrubs… blood." She shook her head.
I finally figured out where they could be. It was a small forest where Drake and I used to hunt during the early years of our relationship. I cursed him under my breath. Edward posed a huge threat to him, and he would kill to protect the coven.
I parked the car and instructed the Cullens to stay behind. I would call them if there was a problem. I could smell Edward and Drake somewhere near. It could have been no more than a couple of miles.
I ran faster than I ever had. In less than a minute I was there. I came to a sudden halt.
