Denali
Disclaimer - As always, everything belongs to Stephenie Meyer
I had to get away from Bella Swan and her blood, and that's just what I planned on doing. I was going to go up to Alaska and stay with Tanya's coven up in Denali. First though, I had to go to the hospital and tell Carlisle where I was going and why. I explained about Bella's blood and the thoughts that were running through my head at the time, all the ways I had been planning on ending Bella's life. I told him how I had come so close to doing just that. I involuntarily shivered as I recalled my gruesome thoughts. He was very understanding and said how very proud he was of my self-control.
I was positively beaming when he said that. He warned me though that Esme would be heartbroken if she found out of my "vacation" through Alice or any of my other siblings and that I should probably tell her of my plans before I left. I agreed so I stopped at home to tell her before I left. Carlisle was right, she was heartbroken, but understood just as I knew she would. My loving mother would always support me in anything that I chose to do.
There was no reason to wait for my siblings to come home. I was sure that Alice would have seen this coming and told my other brothers and sister during lunch. So after saying bye to Esme, I was on my way to Denali.
I was able to make the trip in three days without stopping. I had called Tanya on my way there and she very gracefully welcomed me into her home. I was just settling into my room when the small cellphone in my pocket started vibrating violently in my pocket. I took a look at the caller ID. It was Alice. I should have known, but still, I had only been here a day and she was already calling me? I toyed with the idea of letting it ring and ring and never picking it up, but Alice wouldn't give up that easily. She would just keep calling; I knew that I would get tired of this game before she would.
So I finally answered it and Alice's voice burst through the phone. She was miles and miles away and yet it seemed like she was standing next to me, she was that loud.
"Edward, I can't believe that you just decided to run away!" "You can't run away from your problems, and you know that!" "How could you do this to us?" "Especially Esme, she just hasn't been herself since you left." "Besides, you know you're strong enough to come home"
"Alice I…" I began but never got the chance to finish.
"Good, I'm glad you agree, I'll expect to see you in a couple of days then." And with that, she hung up. I scowled at the phone, knowing that it would do no good, but doing it anyway. For the rest of the day thought about what Alice said. She was right, I was strong enough. That first fateful day in biology was just a fluke. I was better then that. No weak human was going to drive me away from my home, away from the ones that I loved. No way was that going to happen. I made up my mind; I was going back to Forks.
I packed everything up that I had just unpacked and headed downstairs to say goodbye to Tanya and her coven. She was confused by my sudden urge to leave but wished me well all the same. With that, I was on my way back home to face Bella Swan and her extremely tempting blood. I got home on Friday, which was good, I could prepare for my next encounter with Bella on Monday, over the weekend. Sunday morning I went hunting and I was ready. Ready to take on Bella Swan.
