Edward's POV
I stared off in the direction that Jake and my angel had just disappeared to, and I could feel the anger burning in my being.
"EMMETT! JASPER! ALICE! ROSALIE! CARLISLE! ESME!" I shouted the names of the remaining Cullens as I ran back into my room, storming down the hallway.
I couldn't believe that this happened.
This could not have just happened!
My sweet, sweet Bella in the hands of that…that… mongrel!
"Edward!" Esme came out of her room, with Carlisle behind her, causing me to stop walking, "Where's Bella? What happened?"
"Jake took her, get the rest of the Cullens and meet me in the backyard." They stared at me in confusion, and the sound of Emmett and Jasper trying to block their thoughts with the National Anthem in Greek and Arabic, their wives hiding behind them, forced me to let Esme and Carlisle dwell in their incomprehension.
"I'm sorry, Edward, she wouldn't listen." Emmett said, pity wallowing in his voice.
"Come on." I stared at all of them, a look of pure hatred in my eyes, "We've got a werewolf to kill."
Bella's POV
"Don't touch her!" A voice said, "You'll wake her up!"
"Isn't that what we want?" Another asked, and it sounded familiar.
"No, we want her to sleep. If she wakes, she's just gonna want that bloodsucker."
"So why'd ya bring her here, Jake?" A different male asked, and I groaned. I was with the pack, of course. That's what Jake meant when he said 'You're one of us now.' Great. Just great. And how many times do I have to tell Jake that Edward is not a bloodsucker?
"Aw, way to go, Jake, ya woke her up." Oh no you didn't! I'm staying asleep. Or, pretending to stay asleep.
"It's not my fault, Seth, okay? It's Quil and Embry's fault!"
"Hey, don't blame us! You're the one that decided to start this little war."
"No, that was her bloodsucker. We didn't do anything." Jake shot back, and I didn't dare open my eyes.
"Yeah, well ya still brought her over here. Come on, Jake! Think! And you went to Cullen's the get her! Next time use your brain, all right?"
"I was," I heard Jake grunt, and someone trip over their feet, "using my brain. I was trying to protect Bella from getting hurt!"
"She wasn't in any danger, Jake. But I know someone who is in danger! Us! You've just endangered the whole pack! Ugh, you're such an idiot!" Quil said, groaning in frustration.
"Listen. Bella is important to me, I can't let the leeches hurt her."
"She's been dating that bloodsucker for what? Two years? And they haven't hurt her. They've hurt everyone who's hurt her, so just get over it, okay?"
"No." Jake said, and I could hear a growl, but it wasn't the growl that I loved. It wasn't Edward's.
"Oh yeah?" Embry laughed, at least, I thought it was Embry, "And what are you gonna do when they get married?"
"Simple. I'm just going to kidnap her before the wedding."
"And you're going to do this before her leech can get his hands on you?" Maybe I should open my eyes soon.
"Yeah. Cause, you know," He was smiling at this point, "The bride isn't allowed to see the groom before the wedding."
I tensed up.
I decided to keep my eyes shut. Oh, I know something that will really get them going.
"Edward." I moaned, moving my head to the side. It was only until then that I realized that I was lying in a bed, for my head hit a pillow.
"What? She's awake!" Quil moaned.
"I love you….Edward." I muttered in my best sleep talking voice, and I could hear something being pounded.
"What the hell? Doesn't she ever shut up?" Embry asked.
"She's just faking us, Embry, get over it."
"Edward, please. Edward. Edward."
"She's not faking." Jake said, and I could feel his hot breath on my face. It smelled atrocious, but I tried not to wrinkle my face, so I turned my head into the pillow, wrapping my arms around it. "She's dead asleep."
What else could I say that would make them freak out? Oh! I got one! "I love you forever, Edward Cullen."
I heard Quil start to laugh, and someone slapping him. This is fun!
"I do." I muttered, letting out a happy, sleepy sigh.
"Shit." I heard Jake mutter.
"Bella Marie Swan Masen Cullen." I sighed, turning over in the covers, and there was a hug boom in the wall, and I could tell that Jake had put a hole in it with his fist, if not, his whole fist.
Edward's POV
"Kill a werewolf? Kill?" Emmett asked me as I started down the steps.
"Yes, you heard me correctly, Emmett! Kill!" There was no way that that dog was getting away with my Bella! We were going to get married soon, and he was going to ruin it for us. Both of us! Why would he hurt Bella? Didn't he make his feelings clear to her by wearing his heart on his sleeve like the immature boy that he is?
"Edward, don't you think that this is a little unnecessary?" Emmett asked as I stalked into the kitchen and out the back door, "Aren't you taking things just a little out of proportion?"
I stopped in my tracks, "Emmett McCarthy Cullen." I growled, turning towards him, "I don't want to fight with you again, but are you telling me that Bella means nothing to you?"
"We already talked about this, Edward." His voice was low, and he took a step towards me. I turned around and continued my walk towards the path in the woods that Jacob had run down.
"I don't want to ever hear that out of your mouth again, Emmett." I warned, and he nodded his head, backing away as Rosalie came out and hung onto him, burying her face in his chest.
"I don't understand, Edward, Jake was here?"
"Yes! Didn't you hear the commotion in Edward's bedroom?" Alice asked, and they shook their heads.
"No, but where's Bella then?" Carlisle asked Alice, and Esme gasped, causing all of us to turn and stare at her.
Oh my god! Jake's taken Bella!
"Exactly, Esme." I nodded my head. I had already told her that! I decided to forget it for now, Esme was not the main product of my concern. It was Bella. I then pointed at Jasper, "Jasper!"
"Yeah, Edward?" He asked, moving past where he was standing behind Alice and towards me.
"I need you to sniff out Bella's scent. Jake took off with her that way."
"Can't you sniff it out better then me?"
"Yes," I growled, getting impatient, "But, Jasper, I know that Jake would never just leave her in the woods like that."
Jasper shrugged his shoulders, and then disappeared into the woods.
"Come on, Cullens." I said, motioning them to follow as we broke into a run; starting our trek.
A while later, I didn't remember how long later, Jasper suddenly stopped, and we all did too. What was he looking at? Bella was not here? I sniffed the air, and a lingering of her scent was here, but it continued on, further then where we were stopped now. What was he...?
What's this? Jasper thought, and I turned and stared at him. He bent down onto the ground and picked up something from the dirt.
"Hey, hey! Edward! I found something!" I darted over to where he was standing, holding up a piece of blue fabric that was easily recognizable to my own.
"It's not Bella's." Alice shook her head, "I wouldn't buy her something that hideous." She wrinkled her nose in disgust, and I turned to her.
"How do you know its Bella's?"
"Because Jazzie said so!"
"Yes, Bella was wearing it, Alice, but this is my shirt."
"Oh." She said meekly. Sorry, Edward.
I stared down at the small piece of fabric in my hands. I brought it up to my nose and sniffed it.
Even the little bit that was being worn by her still smelled of her sweet, flowery scent. The aroma filled my nostrils, and I sighed as I brought it back down to my side, placing it on my pocket. Jasper broke into a run, and we all followed him.
Oh god, Bella Swan, I love you, please be safe.
Haha, I like this chapter! Especially the whole thing with Bella and the pack! hahah, review please! I had fun writing it!
