Chapter 11

Bella's POV

We didn't know how much Renesmee overheard from our conversation and I felt terrible that the surprise would be ruined. Jacob really wanted to plan for the perfect moment. We hurried to the cottage but no one was there. Then we went to the main house only to find Carlisle there alone… Where did she go?

"Hi Carlisle, have you seen Renesmee? I traced her scent here…" It only took a couple of seconds to register-Carlisle was in a state of shock. I immediately panicked. What if something terrible has occurred? "Carlisle, what's wrong? Are you ok? Is Esme ok?" He looked at me unable to form the words. Then Rosalie and Emmett showed up, with Esme following suit-thank god they're ok. But no one knew what was going on. Finally, Carlisle was calm and began to speak.

"Bella. I don't know what just happened, it was so fast. Nessie came in hysterical and crying. She spoke with Edward for a short while and left-very abruptly".

"What do you mean left-where did they go? Why was she crying? Was someone hurt?" I said almost yelling.

"I don't know exactly what happened to Nessie, but from what I was able to understand through their cryptic chatter, she said something about being in the woods, and about you and Jacob. Then something about Jacob lying to her. She used the word "betrayed" I don't quite know. She was showing Edward what she saw and then Edward was almost…almost paralyzed from it, but then Nessie was crying again and wanted to get away. Edward wouldn't let her go by herself so he said he'd go with her and that was the last I saw of them. Bella-what is going on? Jacob what did Nessie mean when she said you lied to her?"

This had to be a misunderstanding. After all, even if Renesmee overheard us, I knew she loved Jacob. Why would she be so upset because he was proposing? I looked over at Jacob who had fallen to his knees. "I was going to propose to her. I thought she felt the same way that I do." Rosalie then interjected. "That makes no sense at all. She came to me earlier because she thought you were keeping something from her. I encouraged her to talk to you about it, but if she heard you were going to propose, I don't know why she would run away. She told me she was hoping you'd be married someday." I knew something must really be wrong, so I immediately tried reaching Edward on his cell phone but the calls were going directly to voice mail. I was freaking out now. What in the world would make her leave like that? Jacob was devastated. I had no way to comfort him. I was as uniformed as he was. He finally broke his silence "What was she thinking? If she wanted to be with me why would she run away?"

A few hours passed. I finally I managed to get a hold of Edward. He sounded off, so detached. He wouldn't tell me where they were or if Renesmee was ok. He only asked me to confirm what Renesmee saw and I said "yes". As I was trying to explain our motives for waiting to talk to him about it, we were disconnected. Or maybe he just hung up-but why? Could he have been that angry over this silly thing? This just left us more confused, not to mention frustrated.

In the midst of all this, Alice marched into the living room with Jasper, demanding to know what had happened. She was clearly as confused as we were. "Bella, did something happen to Edward? We were hunting and suddenly I got these visions of him. Some are so blurry. Others I can barely see him." I asked Alice to tell me everything she had seen, but nothing really made sense. She said she saw Edward at the airport speaking to me and then throwing his phone in the garbage. Then she saw him in the jungle. Finally she just saw him lying on a bed with a strange coloring to his skin. Nothing was making any sense!

Carlisle then broke through the chatter and spoke "Alice, you saw him at the airport? And in the Jungle? That's strange…but it must be-could they be in the Amazon? Did you see Zafrina at all in your visions?" She answered no and that she had told us all she had seen. "I don't know why they would leave before us, but where else could they be? I am going to leave word for Zafrina to call us, maybe she can confirm this."
