BOPV- Chapter 2— Search begins.
I hopelessly dialled Edwards number again, the twentieth time this day.
Of course he didn't answer.
I sat in his room on his couch, waiting.
I could hear Esme sitting in her room weeping, crying tearless sobs, Carlisle was with her.
Jasper was sitting with Alice down stairs, trying to get her too to see anything.
Emmett and Rosalie were getting the cars ready.
And I was alone.
I couldn't cry any longer, I had done enough of it. It was silly to cry any longer,
Edward needed us not a Tear-fest.
The sun eventually went behind the horizon and it became dark.
I could feel their footsteps, they were about to go.
There was a knock at the door. It was Emmett.
"You ready?"
EOPV- four days before.
I smelt the fresh air, a thousand scents surrounded me. It was difficult when I hunted, i could really see myself as a monster. I already missed Bella, but i had only left last night. I was getting thirsty and decided to go hunting by myself.
Suddenly a new scent came into contact. It was delicious. It wasn't human – thank god. Otherwise that person would have been extremely unlucky.
I followed it, to my surprise it was a mere elk.
I stalked it, for a while, bored. And then I lunged, I jumped on its back and broke its neck. Its limp body fell to the forest floor. I sank my teeth into the animal; its blood was sweet, unusual for this type of prey. But then some other flavour came into contact.
It tasted foul, like poison, it was poison. Poison... Poison! Wait!
I was stunned, I fell backwards onto my knees. Coughing and Spluttering.
Could vampires be poisoned? Let alone was there a poison that could poison vampires?
I rolled into a steep ditch. "Bella" I croaked. My vision blurred, I was impaired. I tried to get up. But I couldn't.
And then it happened, a searing pain shot through my body, it was worse than my transformation. A feral sound ripped through my teeth. I convulsed. I was trapped.
I tried to move again, I couldn't feel anything, just pain.
BOPV- Chapter 2— Search begins.-continued.
I followed Emmett out the back door. He helped me into the Jeep, surprisingly I was able to stay calm enough to speak, "Where do we start?" as Rosalie climbed into the front.
"We'll start at BogaCheil state park." Said Rosalie."Edwards's favourite eating spot" replied Emmett cheekily. Emmett started the engine, and the jeep roared to life.
We made our way down the highway. No one spoke.
The road became a dirt track eventually and then it stopped at a dead end.
"Did Edward take his car?" I , Edwards the fastest he'll run anywhere he can".
Great so there was no evidence to where he had been.
I got out of the car, it was a jump down, I fell; falling onto the gravel path.
"Ouch" my hands were cut open. A little bit of blood appeared.
"Dam it" I repeated. Emmett's and Rose's heads snapped, she was over to me in less than a second.
"Are you okay? I'll get some bandages" She wasn't joking.
Rosalie bandaged my hands up, then helped me too my feet.
"Thanks" is all I could manage.
I hadn't noticed Emmett had left till he appeared from behind a large tree.
"There is a small scent of a vamp, about 18 kilometres away, but it could be just a nomad"
I looked up at him with hope.
"We'll have to hike the rest of the way" he added.
"Bella can't walk 18 kilometres" Rose stated. "No, I can! It's Edward we are talking about!" I said defiantly.
Rose and Em looked at each other, "Okay, but. I'll will have to carry you if you get tired" Emmett said already walking into the forest.
They both walked together through the forest, probably tracking.
I followed behind, stumbling over rocks; i had to feel for them, it must be aggravating moving at such a slow speed when they wanted to find their brother.
Rose's phone rang. "Yes, okay. Bye" was all she said.
"What?" I stammered.
She sighed. And kept walking. "Alice hasn't seen anything yet, and Carlisle and Esme haven't had any leads."
"Oh" I huffed.
We kept walking, the sunshine disappeared, and Emmett's and Rose's skin stopped sparkling. Then it started raining, not much, but enough for my clothes to cling to my body.
"Its 1:00 in the morning Bella, we have been walking for 4 hours, are you sure you're not tired?" Rosalie asked.
Yes" I admitted. Emmett scooped me up into his icy arms, "You can pass out now if you want" he chuckled.
EOPV-continuing
It had been four days since I had drank that elk, I sobbed at myself, the pain was too much, I screamed but nothing came out. I was desperately thirsty too.
I was weaker than a human.
"Bella" I mumbled to myself. I really hoped my family had realised I had left...
I realised I couldn't here anyone's thoughts, and my sense of smell was weak too.
Although, I could still see and the partly- drained elk 20 feet away. It was driving me insane even though I knew its blood was riddled with a poison.
My skin was still sparkling, if a hiker or ranger came past, I was doomed. And if they tried to help me, they might be too, if I had the strength or if I could even lift my head...
Whatever the poison was, it certainly wasn't something you found in your average High school Chemistry cabinet.
Hours passed, the burning rage continued. It started to rain, filling the ditch with water.
It wasn't a problem for me to drown, for I didn't need to breathe. But if it filled up enough.
It would hide me and, they... my family would never find me.
