Chapter 9- Where's Bella?

JPOV

It's been 45 minutes since I first got home and found Bella missing. Thankfully both Leah and Seth were unhurt. They were just knocked out. The whole pack was searching for Bella. The Cullens were searching for Bella, but so far nothing. It was really worrying me. I couldn't even pick up her scent. It's like she just vanished. I continued to search when I finally caught up with Sam. I wanted to talk to him in my human form so I phased {a little note from Lilli- I was trying really hard to remember this word. I like it so much better than transformed.}back and motioned him to. After we both put on some clothes. I asked Sam for an update.

"So Sam, tell me you have something, anything."

"I'm sorry Jake, but no one has anything, nobody is even picking up her scent. I stopped by and talked to the Cullens, they don't have anything. They can't find her scent either."

"Not even Edward." I asked.

"No, not even Edward." He replied. I slumped my shoulders.

"Sam, what am I going to do? Bella is my life! I have to find her. I won't rest until I do." Sam gave me a long look.

"Than neither will I. We'll use the pack. We'll use the vampires. If we have to you and I will search in every state, city, house, under every rock. We won't rest. She got to be somewhere."

"Sam, thank you. I might have expected that speech from Quil and Embry but its nice coming from you."

"Of course you are a big part of this pack. You are my second in command. Besides Bella has become a big part of us too. I'll do everything in my power to get her back." Sam said putting a hand on my shoulder.

"Sam, why do you think no one has been able to pick up her scent?" I asked.

"I have two theories. The first is that this Sara has more power than anyone realized. Maybe she can do more than just read minds maybe she can control them. If she is powerful she probably has a lot of tricks up her sleeve. She might even be able to send Alice false visions."

"And the other?" Sam looked at me.

"The other one is not good. If we can't get her scent maybe she is gone. Maybe she is (hesitation) dead." No I refused to believe that. Bella, my Bella is not dead. My baby is not dead. It can't be. No!

"No! She...is…not….DEAD! I started trembling. I need to phase.

I ran out of the house and into the forest. I phased and started searching again. Instantly Sam was at my side.

'Where should we start?' Sam.

'Anywhere. Maybe Seattle.' Me

'I'll let the pack now. Also, I'll let Seth stay behind and be the pack's representative to the Cullens. He needs to take it easy anyway.' Sam

'And Leah?' Me

'Are you kidding? Bella is her best friend. She has been out with the others the moment she regained consciousness and got off the floor. She blames herself you know.' Sam

'Well she shouldn't.' Me

The rest of the time we ran in silence, concentrating, trying to sense or smell anything. We went to Seattle, up to Canada, down to Oregon but nothing. We just kept running and running but still nothing. I was really worried.

Sorry this chapter is so short, but I've gotten a small case of writers block. I know where I want to go, but not how I want to get there. Oh well, it will go away soon. I also want to thank the people that have reviewed my story. It's nice to know that someone's been reading my story.
