CHAPTER NINE-How can I live without you?

EDWARD

All I could do was watch as my love shrivelled on the floor in pain. She just kept asking 'Why?' I wanted to tell her it would be okay. That everything would be fine.

"Edward, you don't understand. I can't live without her!" She wailed.

"I do understand though. I can't live without you, love. I couldn't if you ever left again." I replied whilst wrapping my arms around her stone figure. She sobbed again.

"We will get her back. I promise with everything I have, that we will get her back. It may not be today, it may not be tomorrow, but love, we have eternity." She seemed to sober up after I told her this.

"Do you promise?"

"Yes I do. I love her as much as you do Bella."

RENESMEE (This is in the future... Ya'll know I like skipping boring parts)

I don't really remember much from when Michel took me. All I can remember is my mother screaming for me, my father looking distraught. I miss them terribly. If only I could have a cool power like being able to turn back time! That would help by millions.

I sighed as I heard Michel coming home. Sometimes I doubted whether or not my family would find me. I was waiting for the familiar call of 'honey I'm home', but it never came. I heard a slight giggling from upstairs. He brought home a hooker again. I wished he wouldn't. He hunts humans still, but I kept true to my family and only hunted animals.

Michel bringing home this person probably wasn't a good thing, considering I really need to hunt. I have excellent self control, but Michel doesn't feed me as often as I need it. I would eat human food at the moment that was saying I was hungry / thirsty.

"OH Renesmee!" Michel hollered from upstairs, I was currently in my 'room' or as I liked to call it, 'hell hole of a basement'.

"Yes?" I asked back.

"Come here, I need you." He replied and I made my way grudgingly upstairs. I noticed a red-headed woman sitting on the lounge. She wasn't human that was for sure.

"Yes," I asked him patiently.

"I would like you to meet somebody very important." He gestured towards the woman, "This, is Victoria. She was a very close friend of your mothers."

"So you're little Belly's daughter. How delightful." She sneered. I growled quietly, but they still heard me.

"Victoria is going to help me when your fucking family decided to come find you. I know they will because, well, I have a feeling!" He mocked. I growled more audibly now. "Now, now, no need to get feisty. I know it's your time-of-the month, but you don't need to be rude." I bit my lip to refrain from hissing.

"We all need to hunt, let us go." Michel said and ushered us out the door. He drove us to an old hiking trail where the smell of humans was fresh.

"I am not hunting humans." I stated. Michel smirked; I knew he would leave me without food if I didn't hunt now. He and Victoria took off ahead of me and I started to follow behind them. They devoured two anonymous humans, while they were doing that, I found myself some animals. I was satisfied to say the least when we got home.

I went to bed because I didn't want to listen to Victoria and Michel. My mother had told me about Victoria and how she had tried to kill her. I knew they weren't friends. The only thing I could be happy about today was the fact that Michel knew my family was coming to find me.

I fingered the small wooden carving of a werewolf as I thought about my family coming to get me. Soon I hoped, soon.

EDWARD (Again...)

I was frustrated, in more ways than one. Firstly, none of us had any idea where Nessie was. Secondly, I had the smell of stinky wolves in my house. Thirdly, I hadn't had sex with Bella in a long, long time.

We had enlisted in the help of the wolves once Alice had seen everything disappear. She knew that it was the doing of the wolves. Not all of them were with us, only Jacob, Seth, Leah, Embry and Quil. Those dogs made everything smell so bad!

They didn't really want to be here, but, Jacob still had to help Bella. And, the other four were in Jacob's pack so they had to go along with it. Seth though, seemed generally loyal to staying and looking for Renesmee.

I sighed and placed my head in my hands. "Tough day huh?" Jacob said. I nodded.

"I don't know how long I can go with seeing Bella like this. She hasn't been herself since Nessie disappeared."

"I know what you mean." He took a breath and tried to cover his thoughts, "I just...Edward," He cringed, "I promise I will stick with this until we find her. I don't even know her, but I will find her, I promise you that. I don't like seeing Bella with you, or as a vampire, but I know that she's happy. Well she will be, but I want her to stay happy so that's why I'm going to help her." He told me.

I smiled, "I honestly never thought I'd hear that coming from, Jacob Black." He laughed and slapped my back. I knew he meant it, because it was hard for him to be near us, let alone actually touch one of us.

FLASHBACK

"Bella we don't need the help of these dogs!" Edward hissed.

"I just want our baby back Edward, and I will do anything to get her back." Bella hissed back at him. "Now let me go by myself, other wise they will destroy you okay?"

He nodded and let her pass with a quick kiss to the lips. Bella slowly made her way up to the old house that she was so familiar with in her human years. She hesitantly knocked on the door. She could easily hear the squeak of wheels moving across the floor.

Billy's mouth fell open. "Shh! I won't hurt you! I need to speak with Jacob." She pleaded. Billy composed his face.

"I will call him for you, but stay out of sight, your father is here." Billy warned. Bella nodded and told Billy she'd been in the garage.

"Can you smell that?" She heard Jacob ask from outside. She held her breath. "It's coming from the garage."She braced herself for the worst.

Jacob froze mid-step. "Just listen!" She said quickly.

"Bella?" Seth asked from behind her.

"Hi." She said tentatively.

"What are you doing here?!" Jacob finally managed to get out.

"I know you'll probably scoff at this, but, I need your help."

"As much as I hate bloodsuckers, I'll help you Bella." He said while moving closer to her. "What with though?"

"Michel, the man who took me all those years ago," She took an unnecessary deep breath, "He found me in Africa and stole away Renesmee."

"Who's Renesmee?"

"My daughter, more so Edward and mines daughter." Jacob Black's mouth fell open, along with the two other werewolves in the room.

"When I was human, Edward and I...well you know how babies are created! I figured it out right before Michel stole me. She aged so quickly and she probably looks around twelve now. But in reality she is only four." Bella stated.

"Crap. I'll help you Bella." Jacob told her.

"We all will Bells." Seth said.

END OF FLAHSBACK

"Bella, love, can I come in?" I asked tentatively.

"Yeah Edward, you can, I mean it is your room." She said lightly. I frowned and walked into our room. Bella was sitting on the bed looking at some photo albums. I walked over to her and sat next to her, no touching her, but close enough. Bella was smiling happily while looking at the photos.

"I heard what you and Jacob said. I didn't know you felt bad about what I was feeling, I feel even sorrier or Jasper!" I smiled at her, "But, I do know that we will find her, we have to right?" Bella told me. I nodded, she was right.

I looked over her shoulder at the photo album. It was from when Nessie was just a baby. I smiled again while I looked at the pictures, they were happy. "I love you," I told her. She looked at me and tilted her head to the side.

Her eyes got a look of lust in them and she carefully placed the photo album on the floor. I grinned crookedly at her and she pounced, taking me to the floor with her. We didn't progress further than making out, but we would later on, right now we were just being the teenagers we were, and always would be.

I liked the idea of that thought.

There was a knock on the door, "Go away!" I mumbled against Bella's lips.

"Alice saw something." The person on the other side of the door said, Bella and I shot up and were out the door, down the stairs and by Alice's side before you could say guacamole. I searched her mind to see what she saw.

The vision was of Nessie and a girl, one I didn't know; I had only seen her in the memories of somebody. They were running, from I don't know what. "Jacob, where is she?" I asked him.

"Who?" He said innocently, he had no idea who I was talking about.

"Rain." I said,

"In La Push...why?"

"Her and Nessie will be running soon enough, which means Michel must be going to La Push sometime soon." I said.

"If he hurts Rain then I will personally rip his head off with my teeth." Jacob flashed a toothy smile.

"Who is Rain?" Bella asked.

"A girl I know. She's one of the best friends I have. She doesn't know about the mythical me, so it's better. She is amazing." Jacob told her.

"Tell me about her!"

"Later, love. We have planning to do." I looked at Alice who already had a piece of paper and a pen to draw what she'd seen. This was it, the part where we were on our way to finally saving our daughter.

"It's been too long." Bella said aloud. I patted her hand.

"It just occurred to me, none of the wolves actually know what Renesmee looks like." I said. Bella started laughing.

"Yeah, that really helps in our search for her." She raced upstairs to grab the most recent photo album. She handed it to Seth. "She ages really quickly so she's probably around twelve looking now." Bella said.

"She looked around fifteen in my vision." Alice stated to herself. Once Seth was done, he handed the album to Jacob, who froze when he saw the first picture. His mind was blurry yet filled with images of my daughter.

I stood up and growled at him. I don't think he even realised what was happening. "Edward...what's wrong?" Bella asked. I just kept growling. Jacob looked up with a goofy smile on his face, then it turned into a frown when he noticed me growling.
"I can't help it dude, force of nature." He said shrugging.

"Get out before I break you!" I hissed. He had enough sense to move outside. I managed to calm myself down quickly. Jasper was on a hunting trip with Emmett, Rosalie, Esme and Carlisle.

"What was that about?" Several people asked me. Quil and Embry understood straight away and started laughing.

"Love, I won't hurt him, but you can." Bella just stared at me, "He imprinted on our daughter!" I said with fake enthusiasm. He smiled flattered and turned into a growl.

"HOW. DARE. YOU. IMPRINT. ON. MY. DAUGHTER!" She hissed while making her way outside. "If I wasn't such a nice person, I would gladly rip your arms off." She stated calmly to a scarred looking Jacob. Bella made her way back inside and over to me. "Can we go do something...fun?" She asked me. I smirked at her.

"Sure." I said and quickly stood up, she grabbed my hand. "You guys plan!" I yelled behind me and raced up the stairs.

This were turning around.
