Alice was near, I heard her concerned thoughts, but she was wisely keeping her distance. I didn't want to attack my sister, and there was a possibility I would if I saw her. Every creature, human or vampire, felt like a threat to me. I was operating both rationally and irrationally.
When I saw Bella in Jacob's arms, instinct took over. The last twenty four hours had been the worst day of my existence, even worse than when Bella told me she didn't want me, even worse than when I realized Tanya betrayed my family and lied to my mate. Bella was in danger and I wasn't able to protect her. Somehow I was shown mercy and she miraculously came to me. Once I had her in my arms, I knew I would never let go again.
While I ran, I formulated a plan. Our family owned an island off the coast of British Columbia. We had never been there before, but considered it as a location for a future vacation home. Carlisle bought an island for Esme in South America and Emmett felt the need to make a gesture for Rosalie, so the Siginaka Islands were purchased as well. I would able to reach it within a few hours and it was isolated and stocked with wildlife – the perfect place for Bella to adjust to being a newborn.
Alice was helpful. She coordinated a car to be waiting for Bella and me once we reached the outskirts of Seattle, and then arranged for a boat for us to drive to the island. Although I wasn't able to express it at the time, I was thankful to be able to focus my complete attention on Bella while Alice focused on the details of getting Bella to safety.
There was only one cabin on the island and it was rustic, but not uninhabitable. I carried Bella upstairs, to one of the bedrooms that had a large window and deck overlooking the ocean, and placed her on the bed. She appeared to be unconscious, I imagined her level of pain was past a bearable threshold, and she wasn't making any noise.
I didn't know what to do, so I held Bella while she burned, just as Carlisle had done for me.
