Chapter 6 – Race
…..
Edward POV:
We lined up by the doors and one by one we had our tickets checked so we could board the plane. Alice was constantly on my heels, I was walking too fast and she tried to keep up and she wanted to annoy all the females.
We boarded the plane 'How about here?' Alice suggested pointing to a row of vacant seats, I nodded and we sat down waited for take off. Alice was jumping in her seat with excitement, it was difficult for me not to the only thing stopping me was the nervousness.
It was the slowest and longest flight I had ever been on. When we finally arrived in Forks, it was early evening, Alice and I decided to go to our old house. We still owned it just in case we came back.
'I'll race you?' Alice challenged, I gave her a menacing look, 'Fine, but you already know who will win!' I hardly finished my sentence before she started, I chased after her and caught up with her soon enough, took over and reached our house just before her. After all I was the fastest out of all of my family. 'I will beat you next time!' Alice declared, I grinned at her she really wouldn't and she knew it.
'So what time do you want to go visit Bella?' she asked me, 'Maybe in a hour or two I need to hunt...and shower' I answered with a cringed face, 'Yeah, me too, back in an hour, I'm going to hunt now, oh I'm going to call Jasper too!', then she ran out the door.
I walked upstairs to take a shower.
Alice POV:
I took my phone out of my pocket and dialled Jaspers number, he answered on the first ring, 'Hey Babe, how are you, you there?' he asked, 'Hello Honey, I'm fine you? Yes we just got here its very dusty!' I replied knowing that would rile Esme. 'So, when are you going to see Bella?' he asked hastily, 'In about, 45 minutes, I'm just going hunting first' I informed, 'Ok, well call me back when your done, love you!' he dismissed, 'Love you too honey' I told him then I closed my phone and ran into the forest.
Edward POV:
'You ready?' Alice questioned with a raised eyebrow, 'Yeah, let's go!' I shouted as I ran out the door. Alice hurried behind me trying her best to get ahead; we kept running till we arrived at the Swan residence. When we arrived we slowed Bella's scent wasn't as strong as it used to be and we heard Charlie sobbing hard in the kitchen while he tried to make his dinner. Why was Charlie so upset? Why is Bella's scent fading? What was going on? Alice looked at me her eyes wide in shock and disbelief.
'Its happening again how could we be this unlucky? What did we ever do?' Charlie was mentally torturing himself. I ran off into the small town I read everyone's thoughts looking for clues of what had happened in the town during our absence.
I even went to the Quileute's treaty line, her scent was all over it but it was months old she hadn't been her for ages. Alice and I decided the best way to get answers was to talk to Charlie.
I knocked on the old wooden door it took 3 big loud knocks before Charlie answered. His eyes were puffy and red, it was obvious to anyone he hadn't slept well for a while and cried often.
I cleared my throat and began to speak, before I could even get a word out Alice jumped forward gasping 'Oh my, Charlie…Are you ok? You look terrible…Aren't you sleeping well?', after all she was the closest to him out of us all.
All we got was a dazed look his mouth dropped open, 'Don't you know?' he breathed, then images of Alec and Jane from the Volturi guard went through his head, how does Charlie know Jane and Alec? Then he thought about Bella, it was like a film in his mind he pictured Bella the day she was born, it was nice to see the day my beautiful angel was brought into this world, then his mind switched to when two other children were born, Renee and himself must have only been teenagers.
It took a while for me to realise what was happening, Charlie and Renee were parents to the three, Jane, Alec and Bella!
'We need to go to Italy!' I informed Alice to quiet for humans to hear, she nodded very quickly so only I could see. We walked into the house that was very vacant, Renee and Phil had been staying and Charlie's told us his story. 'Well it happened not so long after you all left. She went to see Jacob often then one day she went over and never came home, I already asked Jacob but he said that she left because he was really tired after doing some work for Sam. No one has seen her since! We never told her about Jane and Alec' he finished and burst out in sobs again, Alice sat on her knees at his side to comfort him.
On the way back to our house Alice and I planned what we were going to do, 'Ok, I'm going to inform everyone of events and you book a trip to Italy for us all' Alice ordered and I obeyed with no complaints.
My heart broke into tiny pieces when I thought of what they might or could have done to her, was she safe?
It all happened so quickly, the rest of my family arrived at our house and we set off the airport later that day, we ran to the airport faster than we should have and checked in, went to the gate, and entered the plane ready for the long journey ahead.
Jasper comforted Alice and Emmett was playing cards with Rosalie to take his mind of the occurring events, Carlisle was just talking to Esme and left me alone to think I felt alone, depressed, guilty etc. and Jasper felt it and tried to boost up the positive emotions.
Bella POV:
'Heidi! I'm thirsty!' I complained like a child, knowing she would hear me, within seconds she was at my side. 'Me too, want to go get some food?' she replied, I ran into my room to change into something a little nicer then in the direction of the gates with a smile.
In jeans and trainers I could still pick up a man, this life continued to surprise me. Heidi and I took them back to the hall and feasted, we drank them dry, this became a regular routine.
