Chap 2- So...are we skinny dipping or what??
I sat there. Just looking at the ground. My head leaned against the gray marble stone, trying to figure everything out. Why did she die? Who killed her? Why am I not getting any better? Why would I hit Alice?
I couldn't even guess the answers.
As if feeling my pain the heavens began to cry. My clothes were quickly soaked, my bronze hair falling into my icy black soulless eyes.
With the rain acting as my tears I leaned up against Bella's head stone even more, and closed my eyes.
"Bella why did you leave? I miss you so much. I'd give everything if you just came back." I silently hoped that she would some how hear me and come back. My chest felt so tight that if I were human I probably would have thought I was suffocating. I sat there and waited for an answer I knew I wouldn't get. All I got was more rain and now some thunder and lightning.
"Edward?"
I looked up and saw Alice standing a few feet away soaking wet.
I stood up and took a step back. My eyes wide. "How did you find me?"
"With the way you were feeling this is the only place I could think of." I took another step back. "Edward, please don't run again." She said taking a step forward.
I felt my knees give out and before I could even blink Alice was in front of me. "Alice, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hit you. I don't know what happened. I just.." I started rambling off stuff.
Alice hugged me and whispered" I know you didn't, I should be the one apologizing. I know that subject is hard for you. But Edward you have to stop this. We've watched a little bit of you die each day. We are all still grieving but not only are we grieving for her but for you as well. We already lost a family member Edward we don't want to lose you to."
I knew deep down that she was right. I could feel small amounts of me disappear every day, but I was always to afraid to try to hold on to them. I was afraid to let go, but even more afraid to forget. Of course I wanted the pain to stop, but I don't want to forget her.
"Come on, Esme is really worried. Carlisle mentioned taking a vacation. To try to calm everyone down and try to relax. We are planning to go to a secluded part of Hawaii. Esme was making the call to get the reservations made. We were hoping you'd come with us. We will probably being leaving in the morning."
"I don't know Alice."
"Ok, are you ready to go home? Either that or we could go shopping? I haven't shopped here in years." She offered with a small smile.
"I think we can go home." I tried to smile back but failed.
I turned around to face Bella's grave again. 'Goodbye angel.'
The run home was silent. I had to many things running through my mind. I was remembering when me and Bella had first met, and all the great things that happened up to her death. When we got home I nodded my hellos to everyone and started up stairs.
I could feel Jasper sending calming, reassuring waves over me. I just turned around and looked at him and my family. And somehow managed a small smile, then turned and walked up to my room.
The next morning (still EPOV)"Ok everyone are we ready?" Carlisle asked everyone.
"Yep. We are." Alice responded. 'Edward your not come'n huh? Well call us if you need us ok?'
I could hear Alice's voice in my mind. I took a deep sigh and walked down the steps. My bags packed and ready to go.
"I'm coming." I said. "If that's ok."
Esme walked over and hugged me. "It's so good to see you trying. Edward you look miserable, if you don't want to go you don't have to."
"No I want to go. It might help me get some things off my mind."
"Oh it's so good to have my little bro back." Emmett said hugging me, which was really awkward. He kept hugging me till Esme and Carlisle walked out the door then whispered to the rest of us," so…are we skinny dipping or what?"
"Emmett!!" everyone yelled.
I just rolled my eyes and started walking towards the car. Leave it to Emmett to try to give us nightmares.
On the planeAs I sat in my seat staring out the window, the day we learn of Bella's death came flooding back.
Me and Emmett had gone hunting up closer to Alaska. I needed to hunt and even though I wanted to stay close, the game in Forks was getting low and we didn't want anyone getting suspicious. I had just sucked down a mountain lion when I heard Carlisle pained voice
'Edward can you get the others? I need all of you to come to the cliff down in La Push for a moment. The wolves know I'm here, they are going to bend the treaty because of the situation. But you need to get here now.'
Just hearing the pain and panic in Carlisle's voice I knew something was wrong. I called Emmett and we took off in our cars. I called the others on the way to La Push. With in 10 minutes we were in La Push. The first thing I noticed as I stepped out of my car was all the police cars and the ambulance. I caught the panicked thought of everyone.
'I can't believe this.'
'How did this happen?'
'Where's the body?'
'There is so much blood.'
It was with the 'blood' statement that I caught the sent. It wasn't just any blood…..it was Bella's.
I raced up to the top of the cliff and notice Carlisle. He just looked at me.
'Edward, I'm so sorry.' (Carlisle)
I looked over to the edge of the cliff. There was blood everywhere. I could hear the gasps of the rest of my family behind me.
"What happened?!!" I nearly shouted.
"Nobody knows. Seth was checking the grounds when they found the blood. Jake came and said it was Bella's and called Charlie. Charlie called me. We ran blood tests to confirm it, not that I needed to, and it is Bella's."
"Where is she?"
"That's the problem nobody knows. All that's here is her blood."
"Could she still be alive?"
"There is no chance. The blood that you see now is probably half of the blood a human body holds if not more. And before you ask. No another vampire could have done it. They would have consumed the blood, not left it here, and they would have left her body here as well. And I can't find Victoria's sent. They also found a small amount of blood on a ledge that sticks out about half way down. We also found slip marks in the blood on the edge of the cliff. It looks as if she might have started to faint from the blood loss and slipped and fell, hitting the ledge on the way down. They are searching some of the water now."
"Have they found anything?"
"No. And to be honest Edward, I don't think they will. The water is to deep. They won't be able to go down very far to look."
"I can jump and go down then. When they're not around."
"Edward. I don't think that's a good idea. It's better if we leave this go. No matter how much it hurts."
"I want to find her. I have to find her. I have to……I have to know what happened." My body just gave out at that point. I sunk to the ground.
"You can try Edward. I'm not going to fight you. Just make sure everyone is gone first."
And I did. I waited, for 5 hours I waited. Then when the coast was clear I dove in. The water was icy cold. Even to me. I must have swam through that lake for hours, searching every crevasse. Nothing. I didn't get it. Every thing pointed to her falling into the water, I even caught the sent of some of her blood in the water. This was one time I was glad I was a vampire. But even with my vampire senses, I found nothing.
I resurfaced. I swam back to the shore, and just sat there staring at the ground. I stood up and ran to the top of the cliff. They had cleaned off everything, but traces of her blood were still there. I sat on the edge looking out into the water. Then looked up at to the dark sky above me. 'What happened here?'
Then I started humming her lullaby. After finishing that I looked back to the water.
"Where are you my angel? Where are you?"
Back on the planeI really hated thinking about that. It was harder each time.
I'm just hoping that this trip will get me to relax enough to think things through a little me.
