"Bella, you have to go, quickly. You have to leave me here. We will never make it." He said. I looked at his eyes and they were full of pain, they were black.
"Edward, I refuse to leave you! Now lets go, hurry!"
"Bella, you don't have a clue what we are up against!"
"If I leave you, you will die, I don't care what is out there, Edward, I don't care what you tell me to do at this point. I will obey none of it. I will never leave you! With out you I will die. So I might as well stay here and help you! If we die, I don't care, we will die together!"
"Bella," He started, but I wasn't paying attention.
"No, Edward, now let's go!"
We were running now, but only at my speed of a run. I doubt that he had enough strength to carry me. So we ran. Never looking back, and never stumbling. I was not concerned for my safety at this point. I wanted Edward alive and safe, and I wasn't resting until that happened. I am not sure how long we ran, his arm around me, me helping him run. But together we were like one, escaping whatever it was that was after us. Finally after an immeasurable time, we reached his Volvo.
I quickly helped him into the passengers seat and buckled him up. As of this moment, time was not in our favor. More than likely what ever that thing was, was still out there. Chasing us. But what didn't make sense was why didn't it attack us when we were running. Why not get us when we are weak? Why wait so long to attack, why not get it over with? It was Edward that broke my train of thought.
"Bella, you need to drive faster, much faster. It is running. Do not go where you want to. Do not go to the hospital or to my house. Go to your house and take me to your room. What ever you do don't go near the rest of my family."
Edward looked so tired, so weak. He could barely move. His eyes were at the ceiling of his car.
"Edward, why can't I take you to your family. Carlisle can help you. You need…" He cut me off.
"Bella please listen to me, you have to drive faster if we are going to beat this thing to your house it won't bother me if I am in your house. It knows Charlie is there and will not risk being seen. You can not take me to Carlisle or Esme, or anyone else because he will follow you, and that is what he wants. He wants us all together.
Reluctantly I pressed my foot to the gas petal and the car immediately went much faster than I wanted to go, but I had to do it for Edward. I had to keep him safe. At that moment the needle pushed past 120 and I was scared.
"Edward, I am not that good of a driver, and…" Once again he cut me off.
"My Bella, listen, you are a wonderful driver. Please don't worry, just keep the speed up, and I will tell you if he is trailing."
"Who is he, Edward?" I asked not taking my eyes off the road. "Why does he want all of you together. I need to know, Edward. Edward, I'm scared!" I yelled.
