Chapter 3: Realisation

I planted my feet into an abrupt halt, before viciously colliding with half a ton of stone. Emmet's expression was calm and shocked as he stared at my torn face; my heart beat frantically. I tried not to look around; just focusing on what I needed to do. Broadening my shoulders and standing tall in a confident stance, I spoke, just a whisper-knowing he would hear- my voice didn't match my stance.

"Come with me, we need to talk," I demanded.

I power walked out the door, Emmet in my grasp; casually walking at a slow pace as his strides covered five of my steps. We went to a quiet area, under a growing oak tree; where no one could see us.

The cold breeze brushed against my neck, making the hairs stand tall against my bumpy skin. The silent wind snaked through my hair and settled on my exposed skin kept distracting me. Emmet's breathing was calm and gentle, barely noticeable compared to my heavy breathing and constant huge gulps of air.

"What is this all about?" Emmet asked bewildered.

"I know something is going on, Edward saw something...please tell me," I fought back the unexpected tears.

Why am I crying? Maybe the thought of Edward lying to me was more deep and meaningful than I had thought. I stared into Emmet's eyes, for the first time I had never seen Emmet think and look frustrated about something. Was it really that bad that he wasn't sure whether to tell me?

I knew Alice was going to see what he was going to say or not say, but I had to take my chances.

"Tell me!" My voice was more angry and tight now, my patience was wearing thin.

His happy face quickly dropped to one of fear; he repressed a huge sigh, looking down to the floor. Then he looked over to the cafeteria door where we had come from, and back to the floor again. It was painful to watch him so...helpless. After a minute, he looked back at my face, sincerity in his eyes.

"Alice saw a vision..." He trailed off into thought.

"And? What did she see? I asked.

"She saw Jane," he began contemplating, suddenly broken. "She saw Jane heading here, to Forks... after you."

It took me a minute to realise that I had stopped breathing, and all of my senses had totally shut down. I could feel the violent shaking of my body, and the cool hands that gripped my shoulders. Was this real? I couldn't tell. I desperately tried to free myself from what felt like drowning, trying to focus my mind, but the heavy wall of darkness pressed me down further. I hope no one could see me like this, this was so monologue, but the shock had paralysed my body. Jane was after me, the young, malevolent child and her deadly skills-which were useless on me- but still, she was a vampire and had her advantage when it came to my new family, a spasm of shock hit me.

This revelation brought me back and pulled me out of the suffocating wall of darkness. My eyes slowly opened to the extremely bright light and angel faces, it was a perfect scene. I could just make out Edwards traumatized expression, with Alice next to him impassive.

I wasn't lying on the floor, that was a good start, but I was being held up by Emmet from under the arm, his paw-like hands as gentle as silk and totally unnoticeable. What had happened? I took steady deep breaths, voices filled my ears; I tried to block them out only concentrating on my breathing; this made my head feel like it was being torn in two. I tried to break out a sentence through my trembling lips.

"W- What happened?" I asked, concentrating on what I was saying.

"Bella," Edwards's soft voice replied immediately. "You almost collapsed from shock; Emmet caught you before you hit the floor."

"Jane..." I replied through my weak voice.

Edward looked around at his siblings, and then focused on my face again; I could tell he was reluctant to talk about this. "There is no need to worry about that," he said bluntly.

"No, there is. She could hurt you and..." I trailed off into thought of the childlike crimson red eyes torturing my family; I felt my stomach jolt, like I was getting punched in the stomach.

"Look, let's get you inside," Edward replied.

"No! Edward you're going to tell me why she is coming after me whether you like t or not I have the right o know now," I shouted.

"Okay, but after school back at my place, I'll explain everything then," he said, his soft hands caressing my face, then grabbing my hands and pulled me away.

The ride to Edward's was just as bad as this morning, the tension ever growing. Edward was reluctant to talk; he was dreading this as much as I was. I did anything I could to distract myself; I stared out at the emerald wall of blurred trees as we speeded down the ambiguous interlinked road.

We turned into the silent forest; the car glided elegantly through the trees and leaves of the emerald kingdom. We arrived at the drive way of the house, Edward was already out and opening my door. The sound of the composed, flowing river filled the air and moved its way through the forest. Edward's cool hand wove its way into mine as we walked up the steps into the house.

Everyone was silent, not breathing. They were all gathered in the living room, waiting for our arrival. Edward and I sat down together on the crisp white sofa, waiting for Carlisle to begin. My heart thumped ferociously against my chest.

"Bella, how are you?" Carlisle asked his voice calm and concerned.

"I'm fine thank you," I lied.

Edward looked at me, his face helpless.

"Good, then let's begin. As you all know Jane is now a threat to Bella and us; she is estimated to leave this weekend for us," he looked to me then Alice. "But, we're not sure if she is alone, Alice."

Alice, who had looked totally oblivious to the convocation, looked up her expression eager.

"In my visions, it is clear she has decided to leave this weekend, she knows that we know, she is not in for a surprise, but a chase. However, she hasn't decided whether she is going to bring back-up...Alec or Demetri."

"Oh right! Let's have them all come," Emmet boomed, excitement emitting off his face.

Edward glared at Emmet, making Emmet sit down into a slouch.

"She knows that Demetri could track us, but Alec could use his power to her advantage to disarm us and easily take Bella. But, it's like there is something wrong with her and Alec and he cannot decide what to do." She began to trail off into thought.

There was a long break of silence.

"Why is she after me anyway?" I asked bemused.

Everyone looked at each other, repressing sighs. Edwards arm wrapped round my waist pulling me closer to him.

"When you went to Volterra to save Edward, Jane had a sudden change in mind towards him," Carlisle thought for a moment, trying to think of the words to say. "She...fell in love with Edward; love at first sight."

"She wants to kill you for taking Edward from her only way of being with him, she feels that he should not be with a human, but someone the same as him...more beautiful," Jasper added.

My head began spinning, and I couldn't think straight. Jane was in love with Edward; she had a significant chance of having him: firstly, she was much more beautiful and angelic than me or any human, Edward would be able to endure her more than me with my human blood and... I was just human, nothing important. I felt my body hunch over, and tears well in my eyes. Why would he care about me after I'm dead?

I tried looking discretely at Edward, but my attempts failed when he noticed.

"You know this means nothing," he smiled.

"I know, I just..." I couldn't think of the right words to say.

"I love you, more than anything," he replied solemnly and comforting.

I thought for a moment, processing these words, all I knew is that I loved him. That made me content. I cherished these words, knowing that it may be the last memories of my beloved before I was gone; never able to be with him forever. This conclusion tore me in half from the inside out, but it was inevitable.

"So, what are we going to do about this situation?" I asked, not particularly to anyone.

Everyone was silent, there was no plan, and we were doomed to the girl's merciless powers and jealous revenge.

I was going to die. We were going to die.
