I hated to leave Bella with such dangerous things lurking, but we would have them all at one place, hopefully. I wouldn't let them go near her. She is safer away from me anyway, that is unless she falls down the stairs, or does one of the many things that would lead to her untimely demise.
I shook my head as Alice and I sprinted back to the house trying to dispel the images of Bella broken and mangled. Of course they were always in the back of my mind haunting me.
Alice slid to a stop and checked the future to see where the newcomers would be coming from so we could meet them before they entered town to wreak havoc. Alice flipped out her cell phone to call the family as I scanned the area nervously.
Edward calm down Bella will be fine we will make sure of it. If you would just get over yourself and change her already… I stopped listing when Alice's thought's turned to that direction. She already knows my opinion on the subject, as I already know hers.
Within seconds the family surrounded me, we all made a half circle so we could be spread out and still see everyone. I clenched my jaw as my thoughts went back to Bella and the danger she could be in. I felt Jasper try and calm me; I ignored him and focused on the trees ahead of us. I could hear the faint sounds of passage.
Three vampires emerged from the trees, two of them were mates and the last was very loosely tied to them. I soon learned their names were James, Victoria, and Laurent. How many of them are there? Laurent wondered nervously, I almost smirked.
"Hello, I am Carlisle and this is Esme, Edward, Alice, Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett" Carlisle named us all, Emmett grinned and flexed his muscles thinking about how easy it would be to beat them if they didn't corporate.
"I am Laurent these are Victoria and James" Laurent was posing as the leader, but his thoughts let me know James was the real leader of the coven. Apparently James is a very gifted tracker, wonderful just what we need.
"We must ask you not to hunt in this immediate area, for we have to stay inconspicuous you see" Carlisle explained.
"Oh yes of course, it seems we have a lot to learn about each other" Laurent scanned his eyes over my family.
"Yes you may come back to our home so we may talk more comfortably" Carlisle invited them. They all seemed surprised at the word home. James shared a look with Laurent, telling him that he did not want to go to our home.
"of course" Laurent told us.
"Edward Alice Jasper, why don't you lead us there" I started running to the house at a reasonable pace I knew everyone could keep up with. I was itching to go faster though, I needed to run off some of this anxiety.
I knew James and Victoria were not following us. I knew they were not coming to the house, I couldn't help but think about Bella. I needed to get to her. The fear for her was swallowing me whole.

After staring at the tv like a mindless idiot for a little while Charlie came in and told me Renee had gone shopping and needed his help getting the coffee table back to the hotel room, Phil couldn't do it alone. He asked if I wanted to come but I politely declined.
I decided I needed to get up and do something, I couldn't be totally useless without Edward. I walked outside to the drive way to get in my truck. I had decided to go grocery shopping, something I needed to do.
I felt as if I was being watched, I spun around scanning the area nervously. I saw two figures in the forest, two pale figures. I slowly backed up trying to stay calm. I backed up into the road.
Headlights flew around the corner, my eyes widened as the car sped towards me. I only had time to close my eyes, my heart was pounding so fast. I felt the car hit me, my legs flew up and my head connected painfully with the windshield as I flipped over the car.
I landed on the pavement painfully, I looked back towards my yard to see the two figures approaching clearly. One was a man and the other was an orange haired female and they were not human.
I rolled over to my side so I could cough up the blood filling my mouth. Bad move, their eyes darkened and my pulse accelerated. They were coming faster now, closer and closer. I did the only thing I could think of, I called for Edward.
My voice was weak and I coughed up more blood moving my chest also caused a large amount of pain like someone was stabbing me from the inside. I could feel the blood draining from my head and hear it drip onto the pavement. I couldn't even scream as I watched wide eyed as they closed in on me.
Suddenly an orange blur flew over me taking both of them down. I gasped, choking again. Their snarling cut through the deadly silence. I could see Edwards face now, he looked enraged but still beautiful. His hair was in his face perfectly as he snarled at them.
His eyes were black and his nostrils faired out as he breathed. The other two were still trying to get to me. Edward didn't spend long fighting either of them, in fact he didn't try to fight them. He just pushed them back away from me, once he was a little away he tried ripping them up but it was two on one.
I was scared to death for Edward, what if he gets hurt or killed? The female clawed across Edwards face while he was trying to get the male away. I coughed up more blood, Edward roared, it was filled with pain. I feared for him, I would give my life for him.
They were pushing Edward back towards me, he did his best to keep them away from me. I was starting to get dizzy, I closed my eyes for a movement but then opened them only to see that Edward and the pair were closer than before.
Edward was starting to get frantic, he growled loudly and ripped into both of them. Just when I was preparing myself to stand up and try and distract them or something Emmett, Alice, and Carlisle appeared. I almost cried with relief.
Edward saw this too and ran back to me and crouched over me facing them. The male and female tried to get to me again, Edward roared and Emmet and Alice pounced on them.
I was finding it difficult to breath. I weakly lifted my hand and grabbed Edwards leg weakly. Edward looked down at me pain echoed into his expression, I could also see the three long scratches across his face.
I coughed again expelling more blood, I closed my eyes weakly only to force them open again to stare at Edward. I would want him to be my last sight. I saw Edward turn to look towards the house, Emmett, Alice and Carlisle ran towards us.
Edward roared again, apparently not liking their approach. They all stopped in their tracks and looked down to me, I looked up to Edward. Black was moving in on my vision.
"Edward" I tried weakly, coughing up more blood. Edward broke out of his trance and looked down at me.
"Oh god, Bella" Edward choked, his body convulsed in a sob. I pressed my head back on the cement trying to get up my strength to say something again. I took shallow breaths and tried to keep my eyes open.
"I lo..love…you" I whispered softly trying not to cough anymore because then pain would rip through my chest. I closed my eyes again, blood sputtering from my lips.
"Bella! No, Carlisle!" Edward yelled, I could hear his broken sobs. I could hear their voices but I couldn't make out what they were saying. I felt myself being lifted and the blinding pain in my side. I moaned then everything went dark.

While we were running to the house, we were almost there and Edward suddenly turned around and started sprinting in the direction of Bella's house. He moved so fast I could almost not see him. I was about to follow when a vision hit me.
Bella was laying on the road bleeding and Edward was trying to fight off two vampires, he was losing. The male was about to dodge out of the way and go for Bella. I saw the terrified look on her face and the pain in her eyes. We cant let this one happen. I grabbed Carlisle and Emmett and ran.
I had never run this fast before, We sprinted. No one talked we were all worried for Edward and Bella. Edward wouldn't be able to handle it if he lost her. We all knew that. I could hear Edwards roars now.
Emmett shot me a glance, we had never heard him make these noises before. They were something new and god it hurt to hear them. I could only imagine what it would be like if it was Jasper and I in their place.
Edward was being pushed back towards Bella, they were spreading out so it would be harder if not impossible for Edward to block both of them. When They saw us Edward jumped back to Bella to protect her.
Emmett and I pounced on James and Victoria before they could go after Bella again. We pulled them a safe distance away from Bella and started ripping them to shred's. I could see Emmett take all of his anger out on James as I viciously attacked Victoria, Carlisle helped when it was needed.
It was a quick process considering we didn't take any time to dodge and hit, we just tore into them. We ran back to Bella and Edward, anxious to see how they were. The blood lust must be killing Edward, Emmett had already stopped breathing.
Edward was still in defend mode, we ran up to them and Edward surprised us all by snarling at us. We all stood frozen wondering what to do now. Bella was bleeding badly and she looked in very bad shape.
Bella whispered his name, her voice was so frail. It seemed to snap Edward out of it though because we all saw his face crumble in pain as he looked at her mangled body. It broke my heart to see my poor brother have to go through this.
I wondered if she would live, maybe Edward would have to change her. Would he do that though, she would want it I know she would. I of all people would know. If only he would just stop being so stubborn and listen to me.
Then Bella told him she loves him, but she closed her eyes. She shut her weak eyes in pain. Carlisle went over to check her out. Edward lifted her up and she moaned. I could see Edward trying to be strong for her. Pressed his forehead into hers gently and cried tearlessly.
"Emmett call 911 and tell them that Bella Swann has been hit by a car" Carlisle said looking down the road where we could see a dark blue car smashed into a tree.
Edward was huddled with Bella whispering his love for her, I could see her struggling to open her eyes again. Her heart rate was becoming weaker, and weaker. Oh Bella please don't die, I silently begged.
