Bella

It had been two days since the Denali Coven had come to visit for my welcome party. I was still getting over the embarrassment of all the attention I had received. Edward and I were curled up on the couch in his room together, Edward was reading while I listened to the tunes of his classical music. When a familiar tune came on I realised Edward was no longer turning the pages of his book, he was smiling at the song that was playing. Debussy, Clare de Lune

"Do you remember?" he asked me, he smiled his crooked smile and I nodded as my mind replayed a glimpse of my human past

Edward looking absolutely amazing as usual at a ball for fathers birthday, we meet at the dance floor, I blush as he takes me in his arms and begins to dance with me, holding me tight in his arms. I tell him I can't dance, but he holds me tighter twirling us in circles that seemed to last forever. When the song ends we part and he dances with his mother while I stand with my sister watching everybody on the dance floor.

"How can I forget Edward? That was the last time I saw you before you got ill" I sighed, it had been a difficult time watching him slowly, painfully deteriorate. I looked into his eyes for a long second before we were interrupted by Alice, closely followed by Jasper, bounding into the room.

"Bella!" she wailed

"What is it Alice! I'm wearing what you approved"

"No this is serious!"

"Why what's happened? Is everyone okay?" I began to panic about my newly acquired siblings and parents.

"They're fine Bella, calm down" Jasper soothed, sending waves of serenity over my way. I found myself instantly relaxing in Edwards arms.

"I looked into your future, I saw you out on a hunt, but as soon as you went into the forest and crossed the river it went black" she cried falling onto the couch and wrapping her arms around my neck, letting a few dry sobs out. I pulled her onto my lap and hugged her.

"What does that mean?" I asked Jasper

"It means after that you have no future" he said earnestly. I looked gratefully at him for his honesty.

Alice and Edward both looked at me with the same expression before saying the same thing at exactly the same time.

"Please Bella, whatever you do, don't go into the forest" I decided not to argue with them, I knew they were worried, but they weren't thinking rationally. I had to hunt, otherwise I might attack an innocent human, and that wasn't me anymore. I wouldn't let it be me anymore. I just nodded, unable to think of anything to say. I was going to die if I went into that forest? How was that possible?

Another day passed and I found myself going insane. I hadn't fed in almost four days, and for a just turned vegetarian vampire that was a long time to go without blood. If that wasn't enough, I had tried twice to go and hunt, but Alice obviously had foreseen it and stopped me. I was now under the constant guard of Jasper or Emmett. I had Emmett guarding me today. I decided to try to outsmart him. If I managed to get out of the door without him realising I could go and hunt, just a couple deer would take fifteen minutes, and surely that couldn't hurt.

"Bella for goodness sake can you stop giving me death looks, I know you need to hunt, and I'm sorry, but Alice said if I didn't then she would take me on shopping trips every day for a month. So please don't blame me"

I sighed and rubbed my temples "I don't blame you Emmett, I blame being me. I was a klutz as a human and now I'm dodging death as a vampire. Oh I hate this!" I theatrically put the back of my hand to my forehead and fell back into the chair I was sat on in the lounge.

"How 'bout I take you for a hunt? She said she saw you going into the forest, she never said anything about me being with you" I smirked and held out his hand. I knew my bear of a brother had the heart of a teddy bear! I never would have said that to his face though. I smiled and took his hand as we ran out of the door and into the forest. I felt the air against my face again when the exhilarating speed we were going at increased and my hair whipped behind me.

I concentrated on finding a quick meal so that Emmett wouldn't get in too much trouble. I managed to sniff out a mountain lion and started to run after it with Emmett close on my tail.

That's when it hit me. It was the familiar scent that bowled me over. Blood. Human blood.

I changed course to run toward it, taking Emmett off guard. He tried to grab me but I was too fast and agile for his big bulky frame. I ran straight towards the blood, which I soon realised was coming from an open wound. I could hear Emmett running behind me as I sped past the quickly moving trees.

I came to a halt in a small clearing near the centre of the forest; my throat was on fire as the venom in my throat began to build up, bubbling on my tongue. I spied a boy lying on the edge, his wrist seeping blood.

Edward

I watched as Alice began picking shirts and jeans for me. It was my monthly 'makeover' and Alice had forced me to come, telling Bella to stay home because of her thirst. I missed my angel already, I felt like she would be gone by the time I got back. I sighed when Alice through me yet another shirt.

"Alice, do we really have to do this?" I asked

"Yes we do. You've worn all of your current clothes at least once already."

"Please Alice! Can we go home?! Just grab what we have and go!" I thought she was going to give when her sympathetic eyes looked into my desperate ones. But she quickly composed herself.

"No. Sorry Edward but I'm not giving in this time"

"When have you ever given in?"

"Exactly. I've not given in for almost one hundred years, I'm not starting now" I sighed in defeat and suffered through her shopping in silence. It was when she handed me a pair of faded jeans that I saw her eyes grow distant and instantly tapped into her mind to her vision.

Emmett and Bella are going to go into the forest, Bella will start on the trail of an animal but then she's going to smell something else. She will change direction. Emmett will try to stop her but she will be too quick. She will find a boy in a clearing. He will have blood coming from his wrist. After that- -EDWARD STOP READING MY MIND!

What the …? Did she..? She just shouted at me during a vision! How..? I would have to ask her later.

"Were leaving" she informed me. Well I didn't need her ability to see that coming. Bella needed us before it was too late. I was going to help her.

"Alice what happens after she finds him?"

"What?"

"What happens when she... You know what I said"

"I can't tell you, it will ruin things and don't try reading my mind unless you want The Taming of the Shrew recited to you"

I decided not to call her bluff. I hated Shakespeare and she knew it.

Once Alice paid for my clothes we got to my car and I drove as fast as I could. Once we got near enough to the forest to run without being seen we got out and ran. I could read Emmett's mind.

Edward? I think I can hear you running, can you hear me?

I growled in response, I knew he would hear.

Thank god, Edward, we need you, NOW.

That just gave me the motive to run faster. If anything happened to Bella I don't know what I'd do. She was my life now, and nothing could stop me being with her.

I ran in the direction of Emmett's thoughts with Alice hot on my tail. That's when I heard her.

Edward, please, we need to hurry.

Bella

I saw him, lying there in a pool of blood, his own blood, and he didn't look frightened or even worried; he just looked peaceful until he saw me. Even then he didn't look frightened, he looked sorry for being caught. The burn in my throat began to grow as I neared him, ready to feed better today than I had in the couple of weeks of being here. I got closer in a matter of a second. That's when I saw the fear in his eyes, his eyes were green, the same shade as Edwards were, he had different colour hair though. His hair was jet black with red tints in it, obviously dye. But it wasn't the hair that I was interested in. His eyes drew me in and distracted me just long enough to gain control over myself. I realised what I was doing and felt instant remorse.

"What's your name honey?" I asked kindly, trying to tame the monster clawing at my insides, ready to burst through and take this boy's life. I wasn't going to let that happen. I was going to protect this boy. I held my breath and shut off all airways to try to at least calm the monster in my gut telling me to kill this little guy.

"Gabriel" he whispered so weakly any human wouldn't have heard it.

"Well Gabriel, my name's Bella and I'm here to help you hon. Now, why we take a look at what's happened here" I knew very well what had happened, but I didn't want to scare the poor kid to death. I immediately turned to Emmett and smiled. He smiled back proudly. I was in complete control for now, but I still had to stay distrusting of myself. "I have a friend here with me and I think he can help if he wants to, if you want him to" I looked over to the trees to Emmett. I looked too; he looked like he wanted to help.

Gabriel shook his head and whispered "He's looks scary" Emmett heard and laughed, making the ground shake. I hissed a warning at him and he stopped. Gabriel's eyes widened at my sudden hiss.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, I won't hurt you I promise" I knew it was a big promise to make but I felt that if I made that promise I had something to cling to for control.

"Leave me. I want to be here. I want to die"

"Now I know you don't mean that" I replied while ripping the bottom half of my shirt off from the rest to provide a makeshift bandage. I was no Carlisle but I knew, if I wanted to stop the blood in order for him to survive, I had to put pressure on the wound he'd bestowed upon himself. As I did so I realised if I wanted to speak I needed more oxygen. I took in a breath and realised that the air had cleared and his scent was now bearable.

I looked into his eyes solemnly "How did this happen?"

"Cut myself"

"Why?"

"Dad said he'd rather see my grave then actually look at me. He hits me and tells me it's 'cause I'm the devil's child, I don't belong here, I should go to hell"

My mouth fell open in shock. He was what eleven? And his Dad was telling him that? What in the name of all that is holy on this earth did he do to deserve that? I was interrupted by a growl and I knew instantly who it was.

Edward, please, we need to hurry.

"Okay sweetie we need to get you to a hospital quick. Now don't ask questions until later. This may sting a little. Can you hold that?" I pointed to my half a shirt and he nodded taking it while my hands scooped him up. He let out a slight whimper when I took him in my cold hands but he didn't complain.

"Bella you're doing really well, I'm sorry I couldn't help, I didn't want to scare him. You seemed to do that for me" he joked, winking at me. I glared at him, letting him know I felt bad enough as it is. We met Edward and Alice half way between the clearing and the edge of the woods. His eyes went wide and Alice's mouth dropped open in shock.

"Gabriel these are some more friends of mine, Edward and Alice" they smiled at him after they got over the shock. "What?" I asked defensively

"Nothing, it's just, Alice saw you…"

"Well I didn't" I said beaming with pride. I placed Gabriel in one arm and took Edwards hand reassuringly.

"You want me to take him?" Edward offered after pecking my cheek and I shook my head.

"I got it" I replied, taking Gabriel in both arms again.

"That your boyfriend?" he inclined his head toward Edward. I was caught off guard by the sudden question. I didn't know how to answer. It had only been a few weeks, but I felt like I knew him well enough, we were engaged as humans, and only fate could have bought me to him.

"Yes, he's my boyfriend" and at that Edward beamed at me. I smiled back. Gabriel let out another little cry and I realised he was losing his fight, fast.

Is it okay to run?

Edward nodded his head, his eyes full of understanding. I had to save this little guy.

"Okay Gabriel, close your eyes if you don't like high speed. Oh and hold on tight." I felt his good arm that was gripping the remaining piece of shirt tighten as he closed his eyes. We ran as fast as we could through the forest; as soon as we got to the Volvo Emmett sat in shotgun with Edward driving while Alice sat in the back with Gabriel and me.

"You can open your eyes now sweetie" I said, stroking his hair. He was still clutching to my shirt. He opened his eyes and when he looked at my face his eyes went wide with horror.

"Y-your eyes, they're black!" he exclaimed. Alice looked at me with shock.

"Bella didn't you have anytime to…" she eyed Gabriel and left the sentence to finish in my head.

"No, I completely forgot about it. I'm fine I swear. I won't do anything, I feel really good actually" Alice looked at me before her eyes went distant before she nodded at me and smiled.

"Okay, I trust you" she replied.

"Guys, we're here, I called Carlisle. He's waiting for us outside" Edward informed us. I was grateful Carlisle was treating the kid. Nobody was a better doctor than him. I nodded in agreement.

"People, we need a story as to how we found him." Emmett advised as we got out of the car.

"Err well he was near our house. We can say we were in the front yard playing baseball when we heard him crying. We went and had a look, found him and brought him straight here?" Alice suggested.

"That doesn't work. You can't make a baseball game from four people"

"For goodness sake Edward you are so awkward! Fine, we were… err…"

"Playing doubles tennis?" I suggested

"Yes that will work"

Alice pouted and walked up to Carlisle who was waiting with a warm welcome smile.

"How is he?" I asked, giving him to Carlisle, he looked at the temporary bandage and then to me. I knew what he was going to do so I closed off my airways while Carlisle gently took off the half of my shirt that was soaked in blood. Gabriel's eyes looked to his wound and a tear trickled down his face. I went up to stroke his head soothingly "It's okay, I'm here, I won't leave you honey"

"Do you promise?" I smiled and nodded my head.

"He's lost a lot of blood. His heart rate is slowing, he might need a transfusion, but if we're lucky we can just sort out the wound. He has severed his artery too so it's most likely going to have to be a transfusion." He had his doctor voice as he informed all of us.

"Sure Carlisle, just fix him" I pleaded.

"You know I'll do my best"

We all walked into the reception which was crowded with people who had injuries of every sort but I didn't care. I had to stay to protect Gabe. That's right. I gave the kid a nickname.


Okay, what do you think. Should Gabriel carry on? Tell me!

Any constructive critisism is absolutly honoured, and I would love to hear what you liked about it too!
