Heart of Gold

I had just put Renesmee to bed, and I was going hunting with Edward, but when I got to the living room Alice was standing there staring at me. The whole family was staring at me like I'd done something wrong. Everybody but Edward stared. Edward looked like he was in pain, and I didn't know why. I was very confused.

"Bella." Alice said, trying to sound casual.

"Yes? Is something wrong?" I said, trying to find some emotion in her tone.

"Bella, I had a vision. You're Dead." Alice said, looking like she would have cried if she could.

Edward stormed out the door. I wanted so badly to go after him but Alice spoke:

"Bella, Edward kills you. Edward said he would never kill you, but we are all worried. He's making up his mind or somebody's making it for him." She said very fast, but now that I was a vampire I understood.

I didn't understand what she was saying. Edward loved me. He would never kill me. I believed he would be fine, and I was still going hunting with him, so we would find out if he was going to kill me or not tonight. I walked out the door searching for Edward at vampire speed. He was standing next to a tree, leaning there. I walked closer. I knew he heard me because for one, he was a vampire, and for two, he started talking:

"Bella, I'm not going to kill you. What's the point? Without you I have no point in living." He said, trying to sooth me of being killed or not.

I believed he would never kill me. I believed he couldn't do it, even if he wanted to, but if he did want to, I would walk out of his 'life' right now if he wanted me to.

"Bella, I understand if you don't want to go hunting with me now. You don't have to." Edward said sadly.

"Edward, I said I was going hunting with you, so get your butt in gear and let's go." I said, laughing.

He laughed lightly then followed me to the woods. I let my thirst overcome me when I got to a good spot. Edward did the same, but I always ignored the world, other than my food. I stalked a deer, ready for action. Edward was right next to me, he was always amazed to watch me hunt. Then the deer's doe walked out from behind a bush, and I studied them. Edward watched my reaction, studying me. I didn't know what happened next, but the next thing that happened was my head was against the rock that I was standing on. Something was on top of me.

"Edward?!" I screamed, freaking out.

"Bella, it's okay." Edward soothed me.

I was picked up the next moment, and carried. We were moving at vampire speed, and running through the forest.

"Edward?! What did you do to Bella?!" Alice spoke, trying to keep calm.

We must have already been back home, and Alice must have been waiting for us because we weren't even inside the house yet.

"Alice, you have to believe me. The thing or person you saw, it wasn't me. I was fighting something. It almost killed her." Edward spoke quickly.

"Emmett!" Alice said, louder then she should have.

Emmett walked outside where he stared at Edward. Alice's tiny arms took me from Edward's, and she carried me inside the house. The lights got brighter, so somebody was looking at me, making sure I wasn't injured. Carlisle must have been the one because he was the doctor in the house. I started to dream, not really dreaming I couldn't sleep, more like a daydream. I missed dreaming, but what I traded, giving up my dreams, was much better, but all of a sudden I was pulled out of my dream by Alice's voice:

"Emmett! Let him in. We need to talk to him." She said, quickly.

I heard Edward's footsteps, and Emmett's close behind. The door slammed rather harder than needed.

"It was an animal. A bear? A wolf? Wait, wolf. Jacob must have followed us." Edward said, tripping over his own words, trying to prove his point.

"Jacob? You and Bella would have smelled him. We will have to ask Bella what happened." Alice said, I could feel her eyes staring at me.

I opened my eyes at the sound of my name. I looked around, the whole family was in the room with me. Edward stared at me with an apologetic look on his face. I thought everything through at that second, thinking back to what had happened before I was pushed to the ground. Edward and me were watching a deer, and all of a sudden I was on the ground. The deer must have covered up the smell because I didn't smell anything but the deer.

"Well, Bella? What happened?" Alice said, eager to learn the answer.

"We were in the woods, watching a deer. We watched it, and watched it, and all of a sudden everything went black, and my head was against the ground. I didn't smell anything at all but the deer. Edward watched me study the deer with an amazed look on his face. He didn't look like he wanted to kill me." I said slowly, processing it.

Everybody looked at Edward, waiting for his story, even me. My head hurt, but I didn't pay attention to the pain.

"I watched Bella look at the deer, she didn't look at it like a meal, she looked at it like she was comparing it to her family, but I stared at her. She was beautiful, but all of a sudden there was a strange smell in the air. I didn't understand the smell at all. It smelled close to a vampire, but also close to a wolf. I stood up, but Bella was already against the ground, I went after whatever it was, but I never caught it. I grabbed her and came here." Edward said, explaining his story.
Everybody heard a tree branch snap and everybody looked to the window.
