Chapter 8
*Edward*
It's hurting me to know she's getting closer and closer to Jacob Black. The thought of him touching her, kissing her...it drives me mad. I know what Alice saw and, though I hate to admit it, I can't deny the fact that Bella would be happy with Jacob. He can give her a life I can't.
Alice pulls me from my thoughts as she enters the room. I look up and am surprised to see Bella standing next to her.
"I'll let you two talk," Alice says with a smile and exits the room.
"What are you doing here?" I ask.
"Alice told me you're leaving," she says softly. She looks down at her hands and fiddles nervously with her fingers. "So, you weren't going to tell me?"
"I thought it would be easier if I just left."
She glances up at me from beneath her lashes. "Alice told me the move wasn't official yet."
I nod my head, swallowing thickly.
"So there's still a chance you could be staying?"
"Yes, there's a chance. Carlisle's going to keep track of what's occurring with the murders, but I don't think he can hide the fact that he's not aging much longer from the staff at the hospital. They'll start asking questions he can't answer."
She looks around the room like she doesn't know what else to say, but I can hear her thoughts clearly. She doesn't want me to leave. You would think, after being so close to Jacob and seeing Alice's vision, she would want me to leave.
"You don't want me to leave," I murmur.
Her eyes meet mine. "No, I don't."
"Maybe it's for the best if I do leave. Jacob can give you so much more than I ever could. He can give you the kind of life I can never give you. He can give you…" I stop myself, seeing the blacked haired child from Alice's vision in my mind.
"Can give me what?" she huffs. "It looks like your deciding everything for me. Don't I have a say in anything?"
I thought she'd already made her decision. I was trying to make it easier for her.
"Jacob makes you happy."
"This isn't about Jake. This is about you and me. Yeah, I love Jake. I love him more than anything. He's been there for me. He was the only I could talk to. He helped me through my problems. But this…" She motions with her finger between the two of us. "what we have is – different."
*Bella*
I love Jake, but I can't push back what I feel for Edward. No matter how hard I try, I can't. When Alice told me there they were planning on leaving Forks my heart sank. The love I share for Jake is completely different from the love I'm forming for Edward.
He smiles his sexy half smile as he comes closer to me and holds my face with his hands. Leaning in, he brushes his cold lips against mine. I shiver from his touch. Wrapping my arms around his neck, I invite him in. He tries to pull away, but I hold onto him. I don't want to let go. I've never felt like this. My heart starts to race, pounding mercilessly against the confines of my chest.
He places his hand on my chest and closes his eyes, listening to my heartbeat. After a long moment, he pulls away and turns his back to me.
"What's wrong?" I ask softly.
He doesn't say anything, just stands there.
"Edward?"
"You should go," he murmurs.
The fact that he wants me to leave hurts, but I decide it might be the best thing to do. I start to back out of the room, still keeping my eyes on him, when he spins around and pulls me back into the room, slamming the door and leaning against it.
"Wait," he breathes.
I'm not sure what he's doing, but I trust him enough to know he won't hurt me.
"Edward?" I whisper.
Pulling me into his arms, he kisses me with a passion I've never experienced before. Completely out of breath, I pull away this time.
Panting, we stare into each other's eyes, and time seems to stop.
Edward is the first to cut the silence. "You'd better go." He pulls away and opens the door.
"Why?" I ask softly.
"Because, if you don't things may get out of control."
I walk through the door and stop, turning to look up at him. Though I know I must go, I can't will my feet to move. I lean closer to him, touch his face, and brush my lips against his.
"Bye, Edward," I murmur.
I can't sleep. My mind is focused on one thing and one thing only...Edward.
I roll over and look at the clock on my nightstand. It's 3am. I've been tossing and turning for hours. I lie on my back and stare at ceiling. After a long moment, I roll back onto my side and am startled by a movement. I quickly sit up and flip the light on. I look over and see Edward leaning against the wall opposite me.
"What are you doing here?" I whisper.
"Sorry, I just…." He doesn't seem to know what to say.
"It's ok, I couldn't sleep," I say softly as he comes over and sits next to me on the bed.
"I know it's 3 a.m. but, well, I was thinking…well, it's more Alice's idea than anyone else's..." he starts to say, but I'm not sure what he's trying to get at.
"What was Alice's idea? It must be really good if you feel the need to come all the way over here at 3 a.m."
He grimaces. "I know you don't like dances and I know you already asked Mike Newton…."
I smile and stop him from saying another word. "Okay, are you asking me to the dance?"
He grins sheepishly. "Yes."
I smile. I have a confession to make. "Look, I only asked Mike out to make you jealous and besides I'm not going." I hate dances. They aren't my thing.
"You hate dances?"
I hate the fact that he can read my mind. It kind of drives me nuts.
"Yeah, I do. And I can't go anyway I sort of lied to everyone. I told them I couldn't go in order to not go, and if I show up to the dance with you on my arm, well…that would…"
He finishes my sentence, "mean we went public."
We haven't even been on one date, and I really don't even know what to call what we have. I hate him with a passion, yet I love him. I guess you can call it a love hate relationship. Is it even a relationship? He will be leaving soon and I will probably never see him again.
"If I leave without spending one human moment with you I will go crazy," he says softly.
"And what human moment is that?" I ask.
"Please go to the dance with me?" He asks, leaning forward as he does so.
He's so close I can feel his cold breath sting my face. I shiver as he brushes his lips against mine. How can I deny his request? I pull away from his heated kiss.
"Yes," I whisper.
He smiles and places his forehead against mine. "If I leave you, it will kill me."
"Then don't leave," I say, wrapping my arms around his neck.
Okay, I'm seriously going crazy now. I climb onto his lap so he can't even get up to leave.
He looks me in the eyes with a raised eyebrow. "What are you doing?"
"Making sure you don't leave." I lean in to kiss him.
Before my lips touch his, he pulls away and pushes me off his lap.
"Did I…do something wrong?" I asked.
"No."
"Sorry, I…didn't…"
He frowns slightly. "No, it's not you, it's just..." He sighs in exasperation. "If I get too close to you I'm afraid I will hurt you."
"You're afraid of losing control," I say softly.
"I can't ever lose control with you." He starts to leave but I stop him.
"Don't…go. Please stay."
For some reason I feel like I can sleep so much better if I know he's by my side.
He slides into the bed by my side and I curl up into his cold hard chest. Before I know it, I'm fast asleep. However, with sleep always comes the nightmare.
I'm standing in this beautiful meadow. I look over and see Jake coming out of the woods surrounding the meadow. He's in his wolf form. He snarls and growls, warning me of oncoming danger. I turn and see her. Her fiery red hair is flowing in the breeze. She looks at me with hunger and thirst in her eyes. She starts toward me.
Jake snarls become louder.
"He wants you," she says softly.
Who wants me?
I look around, not sure what to do. Suddenly Edward appears out of nowhere. A low growl escapes his lips. He isn't the Edward I care about – he's something different, something sinister. I start to back away. The red haired vampire and Edward start to walk toward me.
"Please, don't hurt me," I beg.
"I'm not the one you should be worried about," the red head snarls.
I look at her curiously and am suddenly struck with fear.
Jake's growling persists.
I turn and see a blond vampire. I recognize him as the one that was with the red head that killed my parents. Licking his lips, he lunges at me and holds me by my throat.
"I've been watching you," he whispers in my ear.
I look over at Edward and plead with him to do something.
He doesn't flinch.
Jake's growls get deeper and lower.
I look over and see several wolves coming into the clearing.
"No one can have her but me," both Edward and the blond vampire say together.
My eyes snap open and I sit up in bed. I feel strong arms wrap around me.
Edward is still here? He stayed the whole night? I'm scared out of my mind. The dream is still lingering in my head.
"Bella?" he whispers.
I'm shaking, frightened beyond belief. I grab a hold of Edward and he pulls me into his chest. I bury my face in his shirt, tightly closing my eyes, trying desperately to make the dream stop playing in my head. Maybe If I cling to him, maybe if I hold him as tightly as I can, the image will go away. Maybe, just maybe, if I hold on to the reality that he isn't the monster that was in my dream...
I pull away and slide out of bed, quickly making my way into the bathroom. Thank god there is a bathroom in my room. I close the door and lean against it, sinking down onto the floor. I cover my face with my hands, trying to get the images out of my mind.
Could Edward really want to kill me? Could he get close enough to me and actually….no, I can't think like this.
I suddenly feel like I can't breathe. I stick my head between my legs and take slow deep breaths. I can feel Edward's presence behind the door. He softly knocks.
"Bella?"
I slowly get up and splash cold water on my face. I open the door and walk past him, crawling back in bed and curling up into a ball. I just lie there and cry. He lies down next to me and starts to hum. I don't recognize the tune, but it soothes and calms me.
Edward wipes the tears from my eyes as he continues to hum this sweet, angelic tune.
"It's beautiful," I say softly.
He smiles. "I wrote it."
"You write music?" I ask, feeling calm now.
"Yes. I wrote it especially for you. I call it Bella's Lullaby."
I snuggle closer to him as he hums my lullaby softly in my ear. Listening to his sweet voice, I drift back to sleep.
*Edward*
Right now, as Bella sleeps in my arms, I realize I am in love with Isabella Swan, and I will never be the same. I can't walk away from her. I belong to her and she belongs to me. She is my Bella. It hurts me to see her hurting, but she won't tell me what's wrong. I know she had a bad dream, but I couldn't read her thoughts to see what she dreamed. Something is blocking her thoughts and it confuses me. I listen intently, trying to read something, anything, but I am met with nothing but silence.
Why can't I hear what she's thinking? What has changed?
I watch her sleep. She looks so peaceful now. I touch her face and she shivers from my cold skin.
I pull the blanket up over her. She stirs and snuggles closer to me. I touch her hair, feeling the soft strands in my fingers, and take in her smell. Her blood is pulsing quickly through her veins, and I wonder if she's dreaming again. My desire to lean in and taste her is overbearing. I resist the urge, watching her chest rise and fall with each breath. I wait until I know she's in a deep sleep before I lean down and kiss her lips softly.
"I will see you soon, my love," I whisper as I quickly leave the room.
*Bella*
I wake up to the sound of talking coming from downstairs. I stir, not wanting to get up. I roll over hoping…
The other side of the bed is empty. I clutch the pillow and hear a voice downstairs say, "She has been in that bed all day." I cover my head with the pillow to block out the voices. I don't want to get up. I suddenly hear the door open and I feel someone plop down on the bed.
"Do you know what time it is?" I hear the familiar voice of Alice Cullen. I peek my head out from under the pillow and look at the clock. It's 12:30 in the afternoon.
"No," I say, covering my face with the pillow again.
"Okay, well do you know what day it is?" she asks.
I think about it. Damn it! "Um…Saturday? Don't I have a right to sleep in on Saturdays?"
"No not if you're planning on going to the dance with my brother," Alice says.
I peek my head out from under the pillow and see the grin spreading across her face. Oh god, it's that Saturday?
"It's that Saturday?" I ask.
"Uh, yeah! Get your butt out of bed! We have dress shopping to do!" She pulls the covers off me.
I just lay there not wanting to get up. I roll over and bury my face in the pillow Edward had been on. I take in his scent, and suddenly I can hear his sweet voice humming my lullaby. I'm in heaven, but I'm soon pulled out of my blissful state as clothes are thrown at me.
"I know Edward has been here all night. You can't lay in bed all day! Put these on! We have so much to do!" Alice says.
I sit up and look at her. "Did you tell Lucy I'm going to the dance?" I ask.
"Yes."
"And, did you know Edward wrote me a lullaby?"
She smiles, "Yes, and he wants to play it for you sometime. Now hurry up and get dressed." She merrily exits the room. Alice is way too excited about this. I pull my clothes on and rush downstairs.
"Jake called at least twelve times," Lucy says as I enter the living room.
I look over and see the face Alice is giving me when Jake's name is mentioned.
"What did he want?" I ask.
"He wants you to call him back when you get a chance. Why didn't you tell me you were planning on going to the dance with Edward?" Lucy asks with a smile.
"It was a last minute thing," I say softly.
"We're going to go dress shopping at my house," Alice says with a smile.
I look at her, confused.
"At your house?" I ask curiously.
She smiles wickedly. "Yes. You will see."
When I walk into Alice's room my eyes widen. She pull me over to a huge door.
"This is my closet," she says with a smile. She opens the door and there's a huge walk-in closet with clothes of all styles and colors lined on each side. I feel like I'm walking down the aisle of a department store. At the end of the aisle was a wall covered with shoes.
"This is amazing," I said, mesmerized.
"It's nothing compared to Rosalie's. I'm still trying to keep up with her," Alice says.
"So we really are dress shopping in your closet." I say as I look through a row of clothes.
"Yes. I have so many dresses I thought maybe you could just pick out the one you like."
Now I know the Cullens are definitely made of money. I look through the rack admiring all the dresses. How could one girl, I mean vampire, have so many dresses?
"You have to find something that will drive Edward crazy," Alice giggles.
Like I don't already drive him crazy enough with just my presence. I'm starting to think I could just go to the dance in sweats and a baggy tee and it would suffice.
"I think anything I wear will work," I say softly.
Alice pulls out a beautiful dark blue dress. It has a plunging v neck. She holds it up with a smile and waves it at me.
"Wow, that dress is amazing."
"Edward will love it," she says with a smile.
I smile and continue looking through the rack of clothes. I walk down the aisle of dresses amazed with how Alice can have so much clothes.
Alice picks out a whole stack of dresses and lays them in a pile for me to try on. "Okay, try these on. I will be downstairs. Just come down when you pick the winner." Then she dances out of the room.
Every dress I try on isn't me. When I come to the last dress, I realize it was the one that Alice first showed me. Typical. That would be the one I would pick. I try it on and examine myself in the full length mirror. It is the perfect shade of blue and surprisingly fits me well. As I examine myself one more time, my attention is suddenly pulled to the beautiful familiar angelic sound of the lullaby Edward had hummed to me last night.
The notes from the piano flow beautifully. I follow the sound of the lullaby and end up in an enormous room. It's a music room. In the middle, Edward is sitting at a beautiful piano, the notes of my lullaby flowing through the air as his fingers move effortlessly across the keys. He's playing it by heart. I didn't realize how talented he is. I watch him play every note, mesmerized. Walking over, I sit down on a small couch across the room from the piano. It seems like everything is so beautiful in the Cullen household. He finishes playing and the notes linger in my ears.
"You're very talented," I say under my breath.
He turns to me and smiles. "How long have you been sitting there?"
"Long enough. Can you play it again," I ask, moving to sit next to him on the piano bench.
He smils that ever so sexy smile again and he notices what I'm wearing. "You've been shopping in Alice's closet."
"Does it look ok?" I ask as I get up and twirl for him.
"Perfect," he says.
"Play for me again," I say as I lay my head on his shoulder.
He grins and his fingers move across the keys once again. When he finishes, he turns to me and brushes his lips across mine. I wrap my arms around his neck and deepen the kiss. Suddenly images of my dream flash in my mind and I pull away.
'There you are!" Alice calls out as she enters the room.
"Alice," Edward says.
"Sorry. I knew that was the one! Perfect!" she beams.
"Yeah, thanks," I say softly.
She looks at us curiously. "Did I interrupt something?" she asks.
"No," I say as I stand up.
"Good, because Edward needs to go get ready and we need to get you some shoes, work on your hair, makeup..." the list goes on and on as she pulls me back upstairs.
*Jacob*
Bella hasn't called me back and I haven't seen her all day. I'd better make a trip to her house.
I walk up to the door and knock. Her aunt answers and is surprised to see me.
"Hey, Lucy, is Bella home?"
"No, I thought you knew she was going to the dance. Didn't she call you?" she asks.
The dance? She didn't tell me about the dance. Well, of course not, because I haven't seen her.
"No, she didn't. Who is she going with?"
"Edward Cullen."
Damn it! That filthy bloodsucker! All I can feel right now is rage. I smile at Lucy trying not to look I'm about blow up. Right now would be the perfect time to tear a bloodsucker's head off, and that bloodsucker would be Cullen!
Lucy suspects something is wrong. "What's going on, Jake?"
"Nothing I can't handle." I start to walk away, but Lucy stops me.
"Jacob Black," she says in a stern voice.
"Yes?" I turn toward her.
"I know you care about her as a friend and as….more than a friend, but don't go to the dance and ruin things for her. If you're any kind of friend you wouldn't get between her and Edward," she says.
She doesn't understand. If she knew everything I know, she wouldn't be here defending Cullen.
"Just tell her I stopped by when you see her," I say as I jump in the car and drive off. I head straight to Forks High School.
When I pull into the parking lot, I sit in the car and debate with myself whether or not I should go in. I lay my head on the steering wheel and try to calm the rage running through me. Without thinking, I jump out of the car and head toward the gym where the dance is being held.
I'm not about to let that bloodsucker win. I can't let him win. I'm halfway through the door when I'm stopped by one of the other bloodsucking Cullens.
"Hey," he says, blocking my way.
"Get out of my way," I growl. I believe this bloodsucker's name is Emmett.
"Seriously, dude, what are you doing here?" he asks.
"None of your business. Move or I'll move you myself" I say in his face. I will take down any bloodsucker that gets in my way tonight.
"Stop it!" Alice yells.
Emmett backs off as she steps between us.
"Emmett, chill. Jake, step outside," she says.
Like hell I'm going to step outside and do anything this bloodsucker says!
She practically pushes me out the doors.
"Get your hands off me!" I yell.
"You are one stupid werewolf!" The blonde Cullen says, stepping up to take her place beside Emmett.
Alice motions for her to go back inside. "Jacob Black..." Alice begins, but I cut her off.
"Just let me talk to her," I say, controlling myself.
"I'm going to be the peace maker, because I don't want you causing a scene at our school," she says.
Who cares if I cause a damn scene! "He got what he wanted," I grumble.
"Can't you see Bella is happy? Can't you just let her have this one moment of happiness! I know you hate us, and I really can't stand you either, but Bella deserves to be happy, and my brother deserves to be happy too."
How can she be happy with them? They have no damn pulse! They aren't even alive! I can give her so much more then he can! I can let her live! I can show her how to live her life!
"All I want to do is talk to her," I say softly.
"After the dance," Alice says.
"Hell no! I want to talk to her now!" I yell.
Suddenly the doors bust open and two men step out wearing suits. Damn it! School principal!
"Is there a problem? " he asks.
"No," Alice says calmly.
The principal takes a look at me. "Son, this dance is only for students who attend this school. If you don't have ticket, you need to leave," he says sternly.
I look at Alice. "Tell Bella I'll see her later," I say as I turn and walk off.
"Okay," Alice says as she walks back in.
If Bella thinks I'm going to back down, she has another thing coming. I don't back down and I'm going to fight until it kills me!
*Bella*
I'm having the time of my life.
Jessica comes running up to us at our table with a look of complete shock on her face. "You and Cullen? Oh, my god!" she says as she sits down.
"Yeah, who knew," I say with a smile.
"So the trip was a bust?" Mike asks.
"Yeah, so I just decided, what the hell might as well go anyway."
He looks a little disappointed but happy. He and Jessica seem happy together. They both run off onto the dance floor.
Edward took my hand and whispers in my ear. "Shall we dance?"
"Sure," I smile up at him.
He whisks me off onto the dance floor and we're twirling about around the other dancers. He moves so fluidly, making me look like I can dance. Everything seems so effortless for him.
I smile up at him, enjoying the moment, and his eyes are bright with happiness. Leaning my head against his shoulder, I take in a deep breath. It's when I focus my eyes across the gym; everything seems to stop - my heart, my breath, my feet.
Edward realizes and stops moving.
I cling to Edward, frozen in fear. The face peering at me from across the room smirks. No. It can't be.
"Bella?" Edward says as he glances over, his eyes following mine.
I look back up at him and his eyes lock with mine. He quickly pulls me off the dance floor and out into the hall.
"Edward, that was...him," I manage to choke out through my fear.
"He's been watching you. We have to get you out of here," Edward says. We're about to make it outside when Alice stops us.
"We have a problem," she says.
"Jake," he mutters.
"Yeah, and he wants to talk to Bella. We stopped him from making a scene earlier," Alice says.
"We have to get Bella out of here." Edward turns to me. "I read his mind. He's been watching you for a while. He's obsessed with you," Edward murmurs.
Alice looks at Edward curiously. She isn't clued in as to what's going on. "Who is obsessed with Bella?"
"The one that's after Bella. I believe he's the same one that was in your vision. He's here. He's been following Bella," Edward says.
I can see Edward is on the edge. He's so worried about me.
"We'd better get out of here fast. But first we need to deal with a very angry werewolf who is waiting outside. I'm ready to brawl if that's what he wants, and as for this vampire…bring it on," Emmet says.
I smile at him. He's all pumped up and ready to fight.
"I have to deal with the Jacob thing" I say softly.
"We're both going to deal with it. Everyone needs to be on alert. Call Carlisle and we'll figure all this out when get back to the house." Edward takes me by the hand and we head outside toward the parking lot.
I don't like any of this. I look across the lot and see Jacob walking towards us.
"Why didn't you tell me?" he says with anger in his voice.
Edward moves to stand in front of me and faces Jake. "Jacob, look…" Edward starts.
"No, you look, bloodsucker, Bella can speak for herself!"
I know Edward doesn't want to start a fight with Jacob. It's the worst time to do that. "Look, dog, did you ever think maybe it was none of your business and that's why she didn't tell you," Edward snarls.
"I'm ready to rip your head off" Jacob growls through clenched teeth.
"Bring it on, dog," Edward says.
Before they start to fight, I step in between them. "Stop it!" I yell pushing them both back. "Jake, I didn't tell you because it was a last minute thing and Edward is right, it's really none of your business."
"Yeah, dog it's none of your business what me and Bella do."
That ticks Jake off even more.
God! This isn't happening! I should just let them beat each other up. I move out of the way before one of them accidentally kills me. Jake lunges at Edward, pushing him against a car.
"You can't love Bella like I can!" he yells.
"Stop it!" I cry out.
Somewhere between all the verbal abuse and pushing and shoving Emmett comes out of nowhere and pulls Edward off Jake.
I've had enough of this. My life is in danger and they are both acting like complete jealous idiots!
"Enough!" I yell. Everyone stops. They all looked at me. I stand there not saying a word. They know I mean business. "I want to go home," I say.
Alice is by my side in an instant and ushers me to her car. I climb in on the passenger side and Alice slides in on the driver's side.
"So what are you going to do about them?" she asks.
"Right now, I couldn't care less about either of them. I'm scared out of my mind, Alice. He was there. He's been watching me. He knows every move I make and could come after me at any time. And here Edward and Jacob are acting like to jealous idiots!" This is my life. My best friend Jacob is a werewolf and my soon to be new boyfriend is a vampire - go figure!
"In one of my visions, well what I could see of it, you were happy. There was a black haired child running and jumping into your arms," Alice says.
I look at her curiously. "What?"
"Let me tell you something. When you're around Jake my visions seem to fade. They seem fuzzy and blurry. This vision I only saw bits and pieces of. You were with Jake. I can't see werewolves clearly in my visions. But, from what I did see, I think you have to choices here, Bella."
"What are my two choices?" I ask her.
"You can either choose to live your life with Jacob, which would be a normal, happy, human life. You could settle down and have a family. Or you could choose to live a life with Edward. You were happy in that vision as well. You have a choice. Depending on your decision, my visions will change."
"So you're saying, I need to choose between Edward and Jacob?" I ask.
"Love or revenge," Alice replies softly.
"Revenge?" I asked softly.
"Revenge against us," she whispers.
And that's when it hits me. If I choose Edward, I'm choosing love, but if I choose Jake...
"That's what Jacob wants me to choose," I say softly. We are in front of my house in no time. I sit there in silence with Alice for what seems like an eternity.
"What should I tell Edward?" Alice asks.
"I don't know. I don't want to talk to either of them for a while," I say softly as I get out of the car.
Alice speeds off.
All the lights are off in the house. That's unusual. I open the door and trip over something blocking my way. I looked down and see Lucy's body laying on the floor.
"Oh my god!" I yell. I kneel down and checked her pulse. She's still breathing. I quickly head to the kitchen to grab the phone but am stopped dead in my tracks.
"Bella, we've been waiting for you."
I look up and see her eyes. Fear strikes me and I can't move. She grabs me by the arm and holds me against the wall.
"What should we do with her now James?" she asks. She leans in like she's trying to smell me.
James. That's his name. He grins as he touches my cheek. Tears are rolling down my face. This is it. He's either going to kill me or change me. I close my eyes fearing the worst.
"Please don't hurt me," I say softly.
"Why doesn't she have a scent?" The red haired vamp asks.
"She's special. We're going to make her one of us," he says touching my face.
"Edward will find me! He'll kill you before you can do anything!" I yell. The next thing I know the red head hits me hard across the face and everything goes black.
*Alice*
I stop the car instantly. Suddenly I'm hit with a vision. Oh god no! I'm not sure if Edward has made it home yet. I quickly pull out my cell phone and dial his number. He doesn't answer so I quickly dial Emmett's number and he picks up in one ring.
"Emmett! Is Edward with you?" I ask quickly.
"Yeah, were heading back to the house. What's up?" he asks.
"It's Bella! She's in trouble," I breathe into the phone.
"We're on our way," he says,
I throw the phone down and head back to the Bella's house. This isn't good. Not good at all. If my vision is right, Bella is in serious trouble, and if we don't hurry, she'll be one of us in the next few hours!
