"How close?" Carlisle asked Edward in a tense whisper. Esme had slowly moved to the wall panel that housed a control pad for house security. She typed in the door code and the glass wall immediately became a mass of metal gates. Bella's mouth gaped, what, did she think we had no security at all? Stupid human. "About three miles past the river" Edward answered, "he's circling round to meet up with the female."
"What's the plan?" Carlisle asked.
"We'll lead him off, and then Jasper and Alice will run her south."
"And then?"
"As soon as Bella is clear, we hunt him."
Carlisle grimaced; he hated violence of any form, even if it was the only way to protect the family. "I guess there's no other choice." He said his voice defeated, always hoping for the diplomatic solution. Edward turned to face me, "Get her upstairs and trade clothes." He commanded of me. I nearly had an aneurism, HOW DARE HE ASK ME TO RISK MY LIFE FOR HER. "Why should I?" I hissed at him, utterly livid. "What is she to me? Except a menace, a danger you've chosen to inflict on all of us."
"Rose …" Emmett cautioned me. I shook him off. It felt great to finally tell Bella to her face what I thought of her. I mean yes she must of realised I hated her, she would have had to have been truly simple to not see it, to say it while she was here in the room. Even in the situation we were in I couldn't help myself but to smile slightly. It was gone again almost instantaneously though, as I remembered the sheer level of danger we were still in. Edward turned away from me away from me utterly blanking me; I glared at the back of his head. "Esme?" he said to her.
"Of course" she answered, before scooping Bella into her arms and running full speed up the stairs. "Rose" Carlisle said to me quietly putting his hand on my shoulder, "Bella is our family and we must protect her." I shook his hand off. "Bella will never be my family" I spat. Carlisle sighed and then proceeded to get ready to leave. He started to dig through several draws in the large bureau in the corner of the living room. He pulled out a set of small silver mobile phones. These phones were only used in emergencies. They were always charged and they had $50 of credit on each of them. "Ok" Carlisle started "we are going to split up into groups. Esme and Rosalie will form the first, Jasper and Alice are the second and Edward, Emmett and I are the third." We all nodded. Emmett turned to me and picked me from the ground, kissing me firmly on the lips. I clung to him, terrified that this would be the last kiss he would give me. He pulled away from me sooner than I would have liked but he gave me time to say "please be careful." He stared, looking directly into my eyes. "You have nothing to worry about." He said the confidence in his voice was all genuine. I nodded and he let me go and walked over to the workbench to collect the rucksack Carlisle had just packed him. Edward had just started pacing up and down the garage; he looked like the stress was getting to him. Just then Esme and Bella returned, and Edward ran to Bella's side. Carlisle handed Esme and Alice silver phones and then he gave one to Edward. "Esme and Rosalie will be taking you truck Bella." He said to her. I was temporarily enraged that Carlisle was asking me to get into that broken down piece of crap, then I realised why. Esme was wearing Bella's clothes, but even so they wouldn't smell strongly enough of Bella to cover Esme's scent completely. We would need to be in something that was also saturated with Bella's scent, her truck. I nodded in Carlisle's direction. "Alice and Jasper" Carlisle continued "take the Mercedes. You'll need the dark tint in the South." They too, nodded, but otherwise said nothing. "We're taking the jeep. Alice" he turned to her, "will they take the bait?" No one moved as Alice's eyes unfocused and she searched, she returned to the present saying "he'll track you. The woman will follow the truck. We should be able o leave after that." I sighed, so the hunt was on.
"Let's go" Carlisle announced making his way to the front door. Emmett made to follow but I grasped his arm making him look me in the eye, and whispered "don't die over her." He gave me a small smile and departed. Edward followed after them, he had gone back to kiss Bella. The thought made me mentally gag. Then they were gone. I heard the roar of the jeeps engine and then the sound of footsteps, Alice had been right. About two seconds later the phone in Esme's hand vibrated. She held it to her ear for a moment before saying "now." I threw one last glare at Bella and then stalked out of the door; Esme was not far behind me. I ran into the garage and wrenched open the door on the driver's side of her truck. The smell that met me was almost enough to knock me off my feet. It was SO strong, like having 100 Bella's standing around me wafting their delicious stink in my direction; it made me feel sick. I turned around breathing in a breath of Bella free air before stepping into the cab of the truck. Esme was already sitting in the passenger side waiting for me to get in. Her eyes were urgent but she was keeping silent. The difference of voices between vampire and humans ones were so clear to the sensitive ears of a vampire, we both knew we couldn't say a word of the female would realise we were not Bella. I twisted the key in the ignition, the engine started first time but it was accompanied by a thunderous roar. I stomped on the accelerator and the truck flew out of the driveway. I could hear footsteps behind me, the female was following. I had already planned to make it look as though we were driving to Seattle; in fact if she tracked us for long enough we would probably go to Seattle. I carried on flooring the accelerator hoping to coax more speed out of the truck, but it seemed to have a limit of 60mph. I ground my teeth. We continued driving in silence, the urgent, desperate look in Esme's eyes never faded. As I drove I started to get lost in my thoughts, where was Emmett now? Had the male, James, caught up with them? Was he still tracking them at all? my wandering thought were keeping me fairly distracted, but I was still alert enough to notice when the footsteps pursuing us stopped.
