Chapter 6

BELLA POV

I woke up to a bright light. It was too bright and for a second I thought I was in Arizona. I sat up and found myself on my bed fully dressed - I found this odd. I saw my clothes were raggedy and dirty and it all came rushing back to me. I clearly remembered walking into the forest around noon and being attacked by mountain lion but being saved by him. I had never seen him before in this town; even though I had only gotten a glimpse of him, I'm pretty sure I would have recognized him. My mind couldn't wrap around the idea of him killing the mountain lion. I still couldn't comprehend how he had killed it so fast, in a blink of an eye.

I turned to see what time it was. The red numbers in the digital clock flashed 1:00 at me. I had left for my lunch break around twelve. Had I only thought about going into the forest but actually fell asleep and dreamt about it? No, it had happened. My clothes were the evidence, but how had I ended up back at the hotel if I was at the forest? Did I just leave without saying 'thanks' or at least something? I didn't have answers for the questions that tormented my mind, so I decided to go back to work; keep my mind occupied for a while.

Edward POV

I had decided not to follow Bella anymore. There were million of humans around the world and I was not protecting them, so I shouldn't do that for her either. Yes, I had protected humans before, but it was during the time I had left Carlisle. I called them 'my rebel years'. I had decided to go against the diet Carlisle believed in and hunted humans, but I only hunted human predators. I reduced crime in the cities I passed through in significant numbers, saving hundreds of lives.

I was running with Alice toward my meadow. She kept insisting that I keep watching out for Bella, she was the only who knew what I was doing with my time these days.

"Edward, please just watch her until we leave, you know it won't be long," Alice pleaded.

"I won't. Give me a good reason why I should." She was getting on my last nerve. I loved my sister but there is only so much I would do for her. "Alice, stop pouting. I will not keep spying on her."

"Edward, come on. It will not hurt anyone, except her if she gets in any danger."

"Alice, the only danger she got in was because of us. I think if we stayed away from her she would be better off." I started to run faster. She wouldn't catch up to me; I was the fastest in the family.

This morning, Alice had a vision. She had blocked me from her mind the whole day but the only clue I had was a name - Bella.

After that vision, she would not stop pestering me to keep following her, checking on her to see if she was okay. She had seen something but she wouldn't admit it was a vision about Bella. What surprised me the most was that she had a vision about Bella. She had never had a vision about a human, even ones we had known for a couple of years.

I decided not to go to my meadow, instead I would hunt. I stopped and inhaled, letting the monster in me take over when I faintly smelled a mountain lion. The clock was ticking and it wouldn't be alive for much longer. I started running in the direction of the smell when I noticed the smell was really close to Forks.

I started running as fast as I could, I would take down that lion before it harmed any human. The smell of the lion had suddenly become stronger, but in a different direction. It was not going towards Forks anymore, but deeper into the forest. I stopped and inhaled and this time what I smelled surprised. I smelled her. It finally clicked in my brain why the lion had changed route - it had found its prey.

I got to her just in time, when the lion had just leapt towards her. I killed it instantly. I turned to see if she was okay, but she was on the ground unconscious.

I was looking at her as if for the first time. I had never seen someone so peaceful and beautiful before. I got closer to her and the fire in my throat started to burn with such intensity that I had to stop breathing altogether. It was uncomfortable but bearable.

I picked her up and it only reminded of how breakable humans are. As I ran back to her room, all I could think about was if she was okay. She looked sickly, so pale almost as pale as us. I made sure nobody saw me, jumped to the balcony and opened the glass door. I gently placed her on the bed. I wanted to stay and make sure she would be okay but after what see had seen me do, it was best she didn't see me at all. I left with one last glance at her.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

As soon as I got to the house, Alice showed me that she was okay and was at the Newton's store working. I let out the breath I was holding - until that moment I hadn't noticed I had been holding my breath.

I was about to go to my room when Rosalie started screaming, "Edward how could you! Didn't you think of your family, or what this would do to us - to me?!" Rosalie screamed at me while breaking the car tool she had in her hand.

I ignored her and went up the stairs to my room.

"EDWARD if you don't listen to me I will…!"

I was tired of her screaming and she was infuriating me beyond reason, "What are you going to do Rosalie! Tell me I want to know!" I said in a low menacing voice. I was trying to keep my anger in check but with Rosalie around, that was easier said than done.

"What's going on in here?" Esme asked. "What's all this screaming for?"

"Well, Edward went and did something and now we have to move before we were supposed to," said Rosalie with acid in her voice.

"What did I do?" I was bewildered. I had no idea what she was talking about. She couldn't possibly know about Bella unless Alice told Jasper. And, well, the rest is history.

"You know exactly what you did, saving that girl! You should have let the lion kill her! It was not your duty to save her and expose us because of it!"

"How do you even know she saw? When I looked at her, she had already fainted!" I was beyond frustrated. I just wanted to rip Rosalie to pieces but I was pretty sure Emmett would be opposed to that.

"Edward, what did you do?" Esme asked. She seemed curious. She wasn't overreacting like Rosalie.

"I decided to go hunting when I smelled a mountain lion near Forks. I noticed its scent was close to town, so I tracked it and found it was attacking a human, so I killed it." I decided to keep to myself the part where I carried her and took her home. Only Alice knew and she better not tell Jasper or else she would have to deal with not having a shopping partner anymore when Rosalie couldn't go.

"Did she see you?" she asked.

"No, Esme, she didn't see me. I believe she fainted by the time I had killed it."

"Okay, then its all settled, children. Nothing to put our family in danger was wrong. Rosalie, honey, please, if you would get your facts right before you start accusing other of things they didn't do," Esme said, and then briskly left the room.

Before Rosalie said anything else, I left the house. I decided to visit Carlisle and tell him what I had done this afternoon, before Rosalie would come and exaggerate the story. I got in my Volvo and sped towards the hospital.
