" Alice, please answer me what is going on" I shouted at Alice as she dragged me away from the airport.

"Bella I promise I will explain later just please hurry up" she said as she dragged me along faster.

"jasper" Alice called as she all but threw me into the car, but all the time handling me with extreme care.

I couldn't hear the conversation between Alice and jasper it was too low and fast for my stupid human ears. But sooner than I could even register it they were both in the car and speeding away.

After two long hours of uncomfortable silence Alice finally spoke. "I just don't get it, it doesn't matter where we go he still ends up finding us" she said in a low whisper, I didn't think she knew I could hear her, but I did and it confused the hell out of me.

"Alice?, will you please explain to me what is going on" I asked in a whisper, I would have asked sooner but I only managed to get my voice to work just now.

"they sent someone to track you Bella" Alice replied in an emotionless voice but I could still pick up that she was worried.

"track?" I asked, by now I was totally confused.

"yes, do you remember Demetri, the man that attacked you" I shivered when she said his name and she took that as conformation, "he is a tracker and a very good one and he has been sent to find you" Alice said in a voice so low that I had to strain to hear her.

"what do we do?" I asked, I couldn't even hear my voice but apparently Alice and jasper had, it surprised me when jasper answered instead of Alice.

"we get you as far away as we can and hide you so nobody can find you" he said. That was the first time I had heard jaspers voice clearly before and it took a while for me to respond.

"but Alice just said that he was good, very good, if he is that good wont he be able to find me?" I asked my voice coloured with confusion.

Alice looked at jasper and then she turned around to face me "you have nothing to worry about Bella, we will protect you".

It was silent from the on, occasionally Alice and jasper would whisper to each other but it was always to low and quick for me to hear. I let out a frustrated sigh when Alice and jasper had just finished another conversation that I couldn't pick up on. Alice turned around to face me and gave me and a small apologetic smile. I returned a small smile but it didn't last long.

After more hours of more driving jasper stopped at a gas station to fill the car up.

I waited in the car with Alice when jasper went to pay.

"how are you feeling Bella?" Alice asked, worry colouring her tone but it wasn't only for me that she was worried about it was Edward as well.

"fine" I replied, I couldn't say anything else for fear that I would break down in tears again.

"we are going to the air port and taking you back home to America" Alice said as she laid a hand on my shoulder for comfort.

"i'm really not worth it Alice, Edward shouldn't have put himself in dander to save me and you and your family shouldn't either" I said my voice breaking numerous times in just that one sentence.

"don't be ridiculous Bella, of course you are worth it" Alice replied and I could tell there would be no point in arguing with Alice, I would only loose. But it didn't matter what Alice said, I knew I wasn't worth it and I wasn't about to let anyone especially Alice and her family put them selves in danger to help me. I knew that I wouldn't let them do this for me I had to get away for their sake not mine.

I contemplated different strategies all the way to the airport all the while getting strange looks from Alice. As we arrived at the airport Alice came around to my side of the car and took my hand "don't try anything Bella, i'm watching you" she whispered in my ear as she dragged me through the entrance of the airport. I looked at Alice, how the hell had she known what I was planning. Alice saw the confusion on my face and she decided to elaborate.

"I see things Bella, the future to be pacific, and I know what you are planning so don't even try it" she said in a voice barely above a whisper so the people around us didn't overhear.

I raise my eyebrows at her "the future?" I asked.

"yes, some of our kind have special abilities like Demetri and his tracking skills and jasper with him being able to manipulate emotions." she replied.

"and Edward? Could he do anything?" I asked. It hurt to say his name but I was curious.

"Edward could read minds" I winced at the way she referred to it as past tense. Alice took my expression the wrong way and she thought I was embarrassed, but I wasn't, I was guilty.

"but not yours" she said as she pulled me along even faster. What did she mean?

"what?" I asked unable to say anything more than one word.

"Edward couldn't read your mind" again with the past tense!

"why?" I had to start saying more than one word at a time but I couldn't help it, I was in to much pain, not physically but emotionally.

"I don't know, you seem to have a barrier around you that protects your mine from everyone" she answered, she seemed to be deep in though so I wouldn't press for more information.

She lead me into the heart of the airport and she organised our flight while I sat with the rest of her family. I looked up to see Esme looking at me, she gave me a small smile and got up to sit beside me.

"how are you feeling Bella?" she asked in a concerned voice.

I didn't reply I just simply looked down and let my tears escape my eyes. "oh Bella" Esme said in a soothing voice as she took me into a small but hard comforting hug. By now I had starting sobbing and Esme held me tighter. I pulled away from her hug, I needed to be alone. "can I go to the bathroom please?" I asked, she gave me a sympathetic smile and nodded, the bathroom was within sight from where we were sitting so no one felt the need to escort me there.

I got to the bathroom and starting sobbing harder, thank god that no one was in here. I sank to the floor, which now I think about it wasn't really a good idea seeming that it was a public toilet, but right now I couldn't care less. I faintly heard an announcement over the loud speaker that was welcoming us Roma's airport and gave the details of what times each plane would be leaving. So now I knew I was in Rome, I would normally have been excited about the fact that I was in one of the worlds most famous and beautiful cities but all I wanted was to get away from here, far away and if it meant that I would also be keeping the Cullen's safe by running than that's what I would do.

It was like that announcement over the louder speaker made something click inside of me and before I knew it, and before Alice would know either, I was running out the back entrance of the toilets and down the stair, I was amazed that I hadn't fallen. I kept running harder and faster until I was out of the airport, I had to keep them safe I had to get away from them so they weren't in danger, none of them should have to risk their lives like Edward did, I already had caused them the loss of Edward and I wouldn't allow any other kind of danger or loss fall upon their family because of me.

I burst out the front entrance doors and looked around for a way out, I saw a old couple getting out of a cab and ran to catch it before it left, I jumped in the back gaining strange stares from the old couple and order the cab driver to drive.

"that's not a destination lady" he argued with a strong Italian accent.

Where was I supposed to go? I couldn't leave because I had just ran away from the airport and I didn't have enough money to hire a car. So I told him to go to the only place that popped into my head.

"the Colosseum" I said in a rushed voice. It probably wasn't the best idea to go to the heart of the city so late at night but I had to keep moving in order to keep the Cullen's safe.

When we arrived at the colosseum I took all the money I had out of my pocket and threw it at the cab driver and I got out of the cab and ran before he realised that I was several dollars short. I ran until I couldn't see the cab anymore and I stopped to catch my breath and I frantically looked around. The wind picked up and my hair flew across my face and I heard a voice behind me and quickly turned around to see who the voice had came from but no one was there. I started to panic and started to run again. I didn't stop running until I was in the heart of one of Rome's parks. I stopped and caught my breath again, I didn't think this through, I was so stupid, what am I going to do?

"Isabella" I heard a soft quiet voice say.

I let out a small scream and turned around but no one was there. I started to breath even more heavily even though I wasn't running any more. I took a few steps back and I hit something hard behind me, I screamed and turned around but no one was there. I stumbled back a few more steps and started to run deeper and deeper into the park, it was pitch black here and I was scared out of my mind, but I willed my legs to run faster for the sake of Alice and her family. I wouldn't give up easily, I would fight, fight for the life that Edward died to try to save. I fell down a couple of times and I would hear a ghostly laugh so I would get up quickly and start to run again. I could feel the tears running down my face but I couldn't control them, nor was I trying to.

I wasn't particularly good at tracking but it helped that I was familiar with Demetri's scent, it also helped that I was one of the fastest vampires I know. I was so caught up in my worries for Bella that I didn't pay attention to where I was going only the monster that I was following. I do faintly remember entering Rome's border a couple of miles back but that didn't matter all that mattered was keeping Bella safe, although I knew she was safe with Alice and the rest of my family I knew she wouldn't truly be safe until I killed the monster that was tracking her this very moment. I was getting closer to the heart of the city now, but I suddenly stopped, I lost his scent, it was like he disappeared. I looked around frantically, where was he? Where did he go?! I ran around in different directions hoping I would catch his scent, thank god it was night time and no one was around so they didn't see me running at lightning speed, but there was nothing, I couldn't find him.

I kept running when I caught her scent, Bella. I looked around, I was standing in front of the colosseum but Bella was nowhere in sight. Her scent lead to the park, what was she doing in there? Why wasn't Alice with her? I stood at the border of the park, I knew I should be running to find her but it was like I was stuck in some sort of trance with endless questions running through my head. What was Bella doing alone at night in the middle of Rome? Why had Demetri's scent just disappeared into thin air? Is my family ok? Had Alice seen this coming? What if i'm too late? The questions swirled in my head and I wondered if vampires could get dizzy.

I was pulled out of my trance when I heard a loud scream, Bella's scream, I ran as fast as I could. I could smell Demetri now, he was close and by the sounds of Bella's scream he had already got to her, no I couldn't think like that I would get to her, I would save her and rip Demetri apart for even thinking of hurting Bella. I pushed my self harder and faster, I had to get to Bella, I had to save her!!
