Chapter 2
Thirst and Visions
I started running again after my daydream. I started to run faster, harder in Bella and Renesme's path. As I went full blast, I noticed a new scent that I did not recognize. The scent was delicious. It made my throat ache with pain, much worse then that first day when Bella arrive in Forks. The scent was much more nicer and it tasted so good when I inhaled.
I lost complete control of my thirst and started running full tilt in that direction. I was only focused on getting that delicious, sweet blood. I wanted to stop, but I couldn't regain control of myself.
"Edward! Wait!" I heard Alice call from behind me. "I need to to tell you something!"
But I couldn't stop. That scent just lingered in my throat and I would stop at nothing to get to it.
"Carlisle! Em! Jazz! Come here! You need to stop Edward, before he finds out who the scent belongs too!" Alice yelled from behind me.
The scent finally stopped and I started to regain control of my thirst. I started to slow down and stop to talk Alice. But I lost it when I was tackled hard into a tree by Emmet and Jasper.
"Edward! Snap out of it!" Emmett yelled right into my ear.
"Let go of me! I'm fine now!" I demanded struggling to pull them off.
Please bro! Bella is gone! She doesn't need you or anyone else in this family anymore. Emmett thought.
Emmett started to let me up until Jasper had to barge in.
"No! Wait! His eye's are still black. Wait til' his eyes turn golden brown before you let him go." Jasper told Emmett.
As I got control of myself, and my eyes turned golden brown, my two annoying brother's let me go.
"Alice! What did you mean 'he doesn't know who it is'. Who had that smell?" I asked confused.
"I can not say, I promised. Just listen to me!"
"What do you mean you can not say?" I yelled.
"Edward! I just can't! Anyways you shouldn't go after go after Bella and Renesme. They need to be on their own." Alice's pixie voice stopped abruptly with a short pause. "Just for a little....... while"
That was it I continued my crying. My loves and my daughter whom I loved both dearly, were gone. Forever. I would never ever see them again.
All of a sudden, one of Alice's visions interrupted my crying, and I saw a ray of hope coming through.
The vision was in an empty meadow, or a forest. I saw a man who I never met before, leading Bella. Who was carrying Renesme in her arms, Bella looked so upset, and Nessie's face was full of tears. Renseme could cry tears because she was half vampire and half human. Behind them there was a woman and a man. All of them resembled eachother; each were running at the speed of Renesme's pace, and they looked like they were running full tilt. Suddenly, all five of them were at a clearing, and Bella looked like she was about to pounce on someone. She pushed Renesme behind her, and went into a protective crouch position. Her eyes went black, and then the vision ended.
"Alice, where are they?" I asked right after the vision ended.
"I can't say Edward. I promised." Alice kept repeating herself and she wouldn't give me any straight answers. Her smile then turned into a frown.
"Edward, come on. Leave Bella and Renesme alone." Carlisle angrily said breaking the awkward silence.
"But that vision, the clearing, it looked......familiar." I quietly said toward's Carlisle. Then I realised Esme and Rosalie weren't with us.
"Where are Rose and Esme?" I questioned.
"They are hun- hunting." Emmett stuttered on hunting.
Edward, bro. Come on Bella and Nessie are okay, Emmett thought.
"That makes sense. Anyways, about the vision. Who was Bella protecting Nessie from?" I asked with anger and pain rushing through my veins.
"Edward, face the facts, they aren't coming back. She left you, for good." Jasper jumped in.
Why wasn't Jasper settling my feelings?
Well, I was not just going to let there uncanny word's sink in. I made a vow to protect Nessie and Bella, and I'm not just going to break it. But first I needed a few question's answered.
Like who had the terrific scent? Why did it feel like everyone was holding a secret behind my back? Who was Bella protecting Nessie from?
I realised that my family wasn't going to give me any answer's, so I had to sneak out, but how?
Edward, I will help you if you want, Alice thought. I just won't give you any answer's that I promised I wouldn't tell you.
"So, you told everyone else, Alice!" I exclaimed, regretting that I said that outloud because everybody was now glaring at Alice furiously and then glanced to me.
"Don' tell him anything!" Emmet roared toward Alice.
"You guys are keeping something from me. Don't worry sooner or later somebody is going to think of whatever youguys are hiding from me, and I will find out who that scent belonged too." I argued and then took off into the dreary forest.
I didn't know where I was going, but as soon as I was out of their sight, I took off into the direction of that wonderful scent. Hoping that I could get a head start before Alice had a vision of me again, taking off into the direction of Bella.
I was hoping, even praying, that I would find a clue of where Bella and Renesme took off too. Even though praying isn't the best idea a vampire could have to get their mate back. I was hoping it would work just this one time, so I can have my soul, my heart, and my life back.
