Chapter Two
I gulped. There was no way this could be coincidental. Billy told. Edward's growling became more pronounced and it was starting to gather the attention of passerby passengers. I tugged on Edward's arm, but he didn't seem to notice. I tugged harder. He glanced down at me then looked at Sam again. Alice and Edward stepped in front of me protectively me right as Sam and Jacob took a step forward. Sam stopped and motioned with his hand for Jacob to join him. They both smirked, then Sam said boldly, "I thought we said you could never see Bella again or else we would kill all of you, Bella included." Uh oh, not good, not good at all.
Carlisle stepped forward and said coldly, "On the contrary, Sam. I believe your exact words were, 'Get out of Washington and never come back. Only then will we release Bella. If you dare step into Washington again, either us or our sons to come, will kill you. You have one hour, now GO!'. Am I mistaken? Were those or were those not your words? I have an excellent memory, so I don't I am the one mistaken. Also if my memory serves me right, we are not in Washington, but in Arizona. Would you like a map of the United States? Rosalie go get them a map, they obviously need one." Rosalie smirked and walked off.
Go Carlisle! I started to quietly laugh, Edward poked my side to silence me. I sighed, I guess it's not the time for laughing matters. Oh well. All of the werewolves, excluding Sam, were seething in anger. Oh, look there is Rosalie! I snorted when she opened the map and walked over to Sam. Smiling, she said, "Ok it's not that hard, even for your little doggy brain." She pointed at the map. "Ok, this is Washington state, it is in the uppermost east corner of the U.S.A. Now this is Arizona. We are here. You should be all the way up there. Now, you said we couldn't go into Washington, we are saying you can't go anywhere else." She pulled another map out of her back pocket. "Now this is a map of Washington, I bought you this so you don't get lost in that big, big state. I mean even though there are all those signs that say– oh wait I forgot, apparently Carlisle did to." She put her right hand to her heart and said in a very sad voice, "Dogs can't read! I guess these maps won't be any good to you. Oh! I know! We can take you to edge, and let you mark you territory, then you can tell by your scent!"
I couldn't hold it in any more, I burst out laughing, Emmett soon joined me only to be silence by Esme's stern glare. Edward had to poke me to quit laughing again. I looked at Sam again, they were all furious. Jacob had obviously had enough, for he walked right up to Rosalie and slapped her. Alice and Jasper both jumped forward at the same time. Alice quickly grabbed Rosalie and Jasper strained to keep a good grip on Emmett. Emmett was furious, if looks could kill, Jacob wouldn't be eight feet under, he'd be eight hundred feet under.
After that everyone started yelling, not caring that they were in an airport, Even Esme and Carlisle were yelling. Edward quickly grabbed me and walked quickly out of the airport, as soon as we were out he rushed into the parking lot to really expensive car. He through me in the passenger seat, buckled me up, and jumped into the driver's seat. As he raced out of the parking lot, I clasped my hands together in my lap and said, "So, how was our day so far?" He looked at me incredulously and burst out laughing.
Once he managed to quit laughing he said, "Fine, a little lonely with out you, but fine. Nothing has been amiss. How was your day?" He was still chuckling when I answered., "Same, same. I s there any chance you will tell me where we are headed?"
"We are headed to the hotel. Once there, we will wait for our family to come and we will discuss our plans with you." I nodded and waited for us to get to the hotel. Seconds later we were pulling into a parking lot. Edward came over to my side of the car and let me out. I looked around. For some reason it looked familiar but I couldn't place it, I hadn't been here before, had I? Edward looked at me and said with a smile, "Welcome back to me my love." I grinned and jumped up into his arms. He leaned down, placing his lips on mine kissing me with more passion than he ever had before. I put my arms around his neck, tangling my fingers into his hair. His tongue ran across my bottom lip, I parted my lips slightly allowing him entrance. After a few minutes, he pulled away smiling and said, "I love you Bella, I love you with all my heart."
I smiled, just as I was about to reply, a voice from behind Edward said, "Ahh, how touching. The leech loves the human. Who would have thought?" Edward turned around and began to snarl. I froze. I remembered where I saw the parking lot now. It was from my dream. Edward was snarling at Jake, who was shaking uncontrollably. "Bella, here is the key, the room number is on it, go in there and don't come out." Edward handed me a plastic hotel key and pushed me towards the entrance, I hadn't gone five steps when I heard the sound of ripping fabric, I twirled around in time to see Jacob exploding in a mass of fur. "Bella, GO!" I could see Edward yelling at me, but I couldn't hear him. I couldn't move either. "Damn it, Bella run!" Ok that I heard, but I still didn't move, I stared transfixed at the sight in front of me. I swallowed. Why wasn't I moving? Move! I screamed at myself. All of a sudden, Jake lunged at Edward, hitting him in the chest. I began to scream, when a blur of black and white grabbed me in strong arms and took me up to the hotel.
Alice used her own card to get us into the room. She set me onto the bed and said, "Stay here!" and then she was gone. I rushed to the window and looked out. I saw six wolves going against seven vampires. I didn't know if they were good odds or not, but I really hoped that odds were favoring Edward and the rest of the Cullens.
It hurt me knowing I could do nothing but watch. Edward was still going against Jacob, Jasper, Alice, Emmett, Rosalie, and Carlisle all were fighting their own wolf. Esme, however was nowhere in sight. All of a sudden a hand rested on my shoulder. I jumped and looked around. It was Esme, I smiled in relief. She grabbed my hand and pulled me to the bed. "You shouldn't watch that. It isn't good for the mind, it's too much of challenge for it. Watching your beloved fighting to the death it isn't healthy." She smiled warmly.
I knew that we had nothing to do but wait, and we could both tell, it was going to be a very long wait.
