(EPOV)

Oh my God! I can't believe my parents! Why do they have stuck in their head that I want to marry that annoying jackrabbit! They know that I would much rather be with my beloved White Tail. But will they listen to me? No. Why? Because they don't think that a carrot thief is worthy of their precious daughter. As if they could ever understand. I just hope that they won't be too worried when they find me missing…AHHHHH!!

A little white and black rabbit looked at me for two seconds before turning around and hopping away as fast as it could. I just stared at it in disbelief. After all these years I thought that it was only human minds I could read. Shaking my head, I turned and continued walking aimlessly through the woods. With everything that was going on lately I needed some time to myself. Victoria was gone but now I had to deal with a murderous father and a depressed, angst filled werewolf, not to mention a hyperactive vampire planning my wedding with the love of my life. Bella wasn't somebody I didn't need to worry about either. In fact she was the one person who was more stressful then all the other's put together. I felt a twang of guilt as I continued to walk. I had told her that I was going hunting this weekend in Colorado when I was doing anything but. It was the only thing I could think of to be able to get some time by myself. Not that I wanted to leave her, but Alice never left her side and with Alice went the whole wedding planning crew and it was getting a bit too much to have all those voices and thoughts in my head. The forest was the one place where I could go that was absolutely peaceful and quiet. Or at least it usually was.

My head was suddenly filled with screams of agony and images of vampires. As I ran to the source of the screaming I prayed that I wasn't too late.

Dodging trees at top speed I finally found her. She lay completely still and not a word escaped her white, blood drained lips. Her eyes were closed and looked sunken in. As I knelt beside her to look for a pulse I noticed that she was completely naked, filling me with rage. Then I noticed that her complexion was deathly white. Removing my fingers from her neck, I felt something sticky on them and discovered why she was so pale. My fingers, her neck and the ground which she was laying and I was kneeling on were covered in blood. My lips parted and I felt myself move ever so slightly towards her when I shook it off. I couldn't. I had to resist the smell if I was going to help her. It was one thing resisting the smell of blood at school and in town but having it on me, around me and her lying nearly dead at my feet was almost too much, but she was alive. She had to be. I could still hear her thoughts.

Taking a few minutes to calm myself I thought of Bella and found myself back in complete control. I slipped my arm under her neck and knees before standing up. Making sure that her head was tucked against my chest I started running towards home. My only hope was that Carlisle would be able to do something, anything to help her. While I was running I hoped that she would think of something besides screaming, something that could help me find out who she was and how she got in the middle of the forest in her condition but she only continued to scream.

Finally, ten minutes later the sight of the large house and garage came into view, Carlisle already making his way towards me. I assumed that Alice had seen something and had called him.

"How long has she..?" he asked as he took the same hold of her and pulled her out of my arms.

"No pulse," I replied darkly. I was already planning on returning to the spot where I found her to try to find the scent of the vampire who had done this to her when Carlisle spoke again.

"Have you checked with Alice, to see if she knows anything?"

"No, not yet, but I'll head over to Bella's now to find out," I said already starting to make my way to the garage, reading his thoughts.
