Chapter 3

Bella's POV

The men were gone, and I was safe, Edward saved me.

"Edward, who were they?" I asked him, as we were sitting on my bed.

"I don't know, but I will be here every night to protect you until I find every last one of them Bella, I promise you." He replied.

What could these men want from me, I wondered.

"Wait Edward, where is Charlie?" I asked him, suddenly aware that I had no heard from him all night.

"He is out in La Push with Jacob's father, he left a note saying he was going to watch the game tonight and I just assumed he fell asleep there."

My heart slowed back down, I had forgotten about the note Charlie had left.

"The men, what did they want from me? Did you hear them, what they were thinking?"

" All I could make out from them was that they wanted you and only you from here and that they would stop at nothing to get you." He replied.

"Why me?" I asked.

"I'm not sure Bella, but I will protect you. And not only will I, but so will my family. If these people seem to be a threat to you or your family, we will find them." He said surely.

I knew Edward would protect me and I knew his family would too. They loved Edward and would do anything for him. He even told me that they loved me, he could hear them. And that makes me feel more safe too. So because I knew I would sleep safely in Edward's arms all night, and because he began his lullaby for the second time that night, I drifted off to sleep.

Edwards POV

While Bella was asleep, I heard something outside yet again, but it left immediately. Nothing would keep me from protecting Bella. I would be here every night if I had to, no question about it.

If anything ever happened to her, I don't know what I would do.

The sun began to rise and I knew Bella would not sleep for much longer, she tended to not sleep much these days and the bright light that shown through her window didn't help much. About ten minutes later I felt her stir, knowing she would wake up soon.

"Edward?" She called to me.

"I'm here, Bella. I won't leave you."

She just smiled, while opening her eyes. She was the most beautiful creature on this entire planet.

"Did anything go on last night since I fell asleep?" She asked.

"No, it's safe now, I don't think they are coming back." I lied.

I had to lie to her, I couldn't worry her. I knew the men were coming back, and probably soon, but I wouldn't dare tell her that.

It was Monday, which went school, so I told Bella to get ready and that I would run back to my house real quick and grab my car and pick her up.

"Bring the Volvo." She said.

"As always." I replied.

I ran home and got the Volvo, but decided to take a small detour. I stopped to see Jacob, and because I could hear this thoughts, I knew he was in wolf form, "chatting" with his pack.

"Jacob." I called out to him.

I didn't like talking to him, but he may be a help for protecting Bella. So, I told him everything that happened last night and he agreed to "keep Bella safe at all costs." This meaning, he would keep an eye out for the men and if I were to see them again, I was to let him know.

I don't like being told what to do by a dog, but I may need his help, and I will do anything for her.

"Jacob, see that man over there?" I asked him.

"Yeah, what about him?" He thought.

"That's him, that's the leader of those people, the one I held a gun up to last night." I said stiffly, holding back the urge to tear him apart.
