Chapter 2
Edward's POV -
As soon as they were out of sight the pain stopped. I got up ready to run after them, but Alice screamed for Emmett to grab hold of me
I was fast, but not fast enough, Emmett was next to me, so he reached out and grabbed me.
"LET GO! I HAVE TO FIND BELLA!" I screamed at him.
"Edward.. listen.." Alice tried to reason with me. "She wants you to go after her, that's her plan. Surly you heard her think that?"
I sighed. Shaking my head I said, "I was in too much pain to hear anything but Bella's voice."
Before Alice could reply Jasper sent me a wave of calmness and said, "Hey brother please calm down, your emotions are driving me crazy."
I grunted but stopped struggling, it was no use Emmett was stronger, and Alice did have a point.
"Good." Alice said smiling, seeing that I had given up getting away from Emmett. But I hadn't given up on finding Bella.
"We need to make a plan." Esme said, while Carlisle helped her to stand.
"It's no use." Rosalie moaned "Jane has Bella, so we have no shield."
"I could feel in her emotions she only expected Edward to come after her, so if we let her think that some of us could follow.." Jasper told us.
Carlisle and Esme looked at each other and nodded. "You 5 should go, Esme and myself will stay, you can call us for backup."
We all agreed this was a good idea and I got ready to follow Bella's scent with Emmett, who like normal was exited for a fight.
"Oh and you might find it helpful to know Jane isn't working for the Voltruri any more." Alice told us all before we left. I nodded and thanked her and ran the way Bella and Jane had left a few minuets before. Jasper, Alice and Rosalie were going to leave a little after us, they would arrive a day later as extra backup.
Jacob's POV -
I was out on a walk with Renesmee and I froze, I could smell Bella's scent with a strange one. Unusually she wasn't with any of the Cullen's, and she wasn't stopping, she was running very fast. I had promised myself I wouldn't interfere with Bella any more, but for some reason I felt worried and that Bella was in trouble.
"Errr.. Renesmee dear, I think your mother was here recently. But she didn't stop she kept running with a strange person. Do you think she's okay?"
Renesmee's face filled with panic and fear.
"Oh no. Mum always was a magnet for danger, we should go after her."
I ran after Bella's scent with Renesmee safely locked in my arms. I was in love with her now, not Bella, I got over that years ago, but I still cared for Bella.
Bella's POV -
I wondered if Edward or any of the Cullen's were on their way. I wondered why Jane would want me. I wondered a lot while we were running through the forest. If Jasper had been here he would have felt my mixed emotions of: fear, curiosity, hate, pain, pride, worry and love.
Fear mixed with curiosity as I didn't know where Jane was taking me and what she had planned. Hate mixed with Pain as Jane had left me horrid pictures of my family screaming. Pride as I had given Jane what she wanted to save my family. Worry not for myself but for Edward and the rest of my family because I didn't know what was going to happen to me, but I knew if I died Edward wouldn't hesitate to join me. Love as every time I thought of Edward I felt strong love for him.
I don't know how long we had been running, but my thoughts were interrupted when we suddenly stopped in front of a large old looking house. Jane dragged me round to the back door we went inside, then she lead me down to what I guessed was a cellar and shoved me in. I heard the door slam and bolt behind me. I looked round, and even though it was dark I could see clearly, another power vampires had. The room was small, with only a old dusty wooden table and chair in the corner. I sat down and lay my head on the table. I wasn't tired, vampires didn't get tired, I was stressed and lonely. I didn't know how long I would be here and what would happen. I missed Edward already.
Jane's POV -
Revenge. I was going to get my revenge now. I smiled. Bella was going to die very very soon.
Bella's POV -
Jane walked in with a deadly look on her face. At that moment I wished I had Edward's or Alice's gift, I needed to know what she was planning.
"Any final words?" Jane said cackling.
Then I knew what she would do, kill me..
"Tell Edward I love him.." I begged, that seamed to make her laugh more. "And please tell him I want him to carry on with his life and forget me.."
"He wont have any choice once I've finished with him." She muttered under her breath, so quietly that I wouldn't have been able to hear if I was still human.
I took off the necklaces Edward had given me after our wedding, it was a silver heart with the worlds Bella Cullen engraved into it. "And please give him this, to remember me by.." I said stuttering, if I could have cried I would have.
I had faced death so many time now, but I wasn't used to it, it was something you could never get used to. But I knew this time I would die, Edward wasn't here to save me, he wouldn't know where I was. But however scared I was I was also glad I was dyeing in the place of my family, people I loved more than anything. Who knows what Jane might have done to the Cullen's if I hadn't gone with her. I just wished Edward could have been here in my last moments. I closed my eyes and pictured Edward's stunning face.
"Don't hurt Edward.." Were my final words.
Jane's POV -
Now all I had to do was sit and wait for Edward to come running after Bella. He was sure to be willing to die if he found out Bella was dead.
Edward's POV -
We ran after Bella and Jane's scent not stopping. I didn't know if she was alive or dead, but I hoped and prayed she was still alive.
We passed one point where their scent crossed with Jacob and Renesmee's. I knew they hadn't crossed at the same time, but Jacob seamed to have run after Bella's scent with Renesmee. I growled, I wanted to save Bella not Jacob.
I heard it before Emmett, as I was listening to see if there was anyone near who had seen Bella running with Jane.
Help! He thought.
"Help!" A familiar voice was shouting.
Oh my word, that's Jacob isn't it? Emmett thought.
I nodded. That was Jacob all right, and I could tell he was with Renesmee. There was one problem, I could smell blood. Renesmee's blood.
Yum, blood. Hang on.. that's only half human blood.. Emmett thought, confused, he looked at me.
"Renesmee."
That explains it. He thought.
"Jacob?" I called out as he came into view.
"Edward! Emmett! Thank goodness you're here! I was on my way to find Bella, when I erm, tripped.." He broke off sounded embarrassed.
I dropped Renesmee, she's bleeding badly, and she's unconscious. I don't know what I should do.. He panicked and thought.
"Don't worry." I said, I hoped my smooth velvet voice soothed him, like it always did to Bella. "Emmett stay here with Jacob and Renesmee. You should call Carlisle, he will be able to come and sort out Renesmee. Jasper, Alice and Rosalie should be here soon, then you can come to find me with Jasper."
"Where are you going?"
"To find Bella of course."
"Oh, why can't I come. I was looking forward to the fight."
"You have to stay here and help Renesmee. It's what Bella would want you to do. As soon as Carlisle and the others arrive you can come after me."
I continued to run after Bella's scent while Emmett was hurriedly telling Carlisle everything down the phone.
Not long later the scent led me round to the back of a large old house. I could smell Bella and Jane had gone in hear. The door was unlocked. I quietly pushed it open and went in.
Welcome Edward Cullen. She thought.
"Where's Bella?" I said, trying to keep fury and worry out of my voice.
"Are you alone?" She asked.
"Yes, No one else wanted to come near you again."
Ha-ha. They're scared! She thought.
"Bella is dead." Jane said.
My heart broke in two, no.. I couldn't feel my heart any more. This was worse than last time when Rosalie had told me Bella die many years ago. This time I knew it was true, and I knew Bella would have died a painful death if Jane was involved.
"Oh, and if you don't believe me, then I have proof.."
I turned away, I would have cried if I could. I couldn't bear this. I was too late. If only I had gone straight away. I didn't care if Jane killed me now. In fact I might beg her to kill me.
"Do you want proof?" Jane repeated, her voice sounded distant and far off. I was too upset to even bother to listen to her thoughts or answer her. I believed her. Why wouldn't she kill Bella. I hated her more than I had ever hated anyone. I felt like ripping her apart right there and then, but then I would have had no one to kill me.
"Oh well I'll tell you anyway.. Bella said she loved you and told me to give you this.." She handed me a glittering silver hear with Bella Cullen engraved into it. It was the heart I had given Bella after our wedding, she never took it off.
I gasped. "Noooooooooooooooooo!" I screamed. Bella can't be dead. I had felt like this before, but this was far worse. Last time my heart broke, this time it was like Jane took my heart and stabbed it. I fell down on the floor my head in my hands.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" I wailed again.
"Now I guess your life is worthless Edward Cullen."
I didn't answer. Without reading her thoughts I knew she was about to offer me to join Bella and die.
"Would you like me to put you out of your pain? Well it's not really your choice, I'm going to kill you anyway. But first I bet you would love to know why I'm doing this."
I snarled. She was lucky I had decided not to kill her as I would have made it as painful as possible.
"Well.. I found out recently some information about my sister.."
Why did she think I cared, I just wanted her to get on with it and kill me before Emmett and Jasper turned up.
"The Voltruri told me that.." She broke off, it looked like she would have cried if she could. Good she deserved to be upset. She continued "..My sister, had been killed. I was furious. Me and my sister had been so close while we were growing up. We had always been their for each other, we had been through loads of hard time, but we always had each other." She stopped and glared at me.
I was confused. What did her sister have to do with me?
"A little while before she died, she told me she was looking for revenge, she was going to kill her mates murder. She told me the perfect revenge would be to kill the murder's mate.. Well obviously in trying to get revenge she was killed. I swore from the day I found out I would kill the murder and his mate!"
Then it hit me.
She wickedly smiled "My sister was Victoria."
