Chapter 30

Louise's POV:

I ran out to the landing as fast as I could, to see both Paul and Seth shaking angrily, only inches apart.

"Paul? What's going on? Paul!" I grabbed his arm, and to my utter astonishment, he pushed me away.

"Louise," His voice was strained, "Go back into the bedroom, and stay there."

"But Paul! What's wrong?" He'd never pushed me away before, and I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes.

"What's wrong," It was Seth that spoke, "is that Paul killed my girlfriend. And he didn't even own up to it."

I gasped. What? No, there had to be some mistake. Paul wouldn't do that to Iona, no one would.

"Paul what's he talking about? Tell me you didn't do that. Tell me!" I was shrieking uncontrollably now, and this time when I grabbed Paul's arm he didn't push me away.

"Of course I didn't!" He wasn't looking at me, he was staring at Seth, his face still angry.

"Liar." Seth hissed under his breath. "You can't lie to me any more Paul. And do you want to tell Louise why you killed her, or shall I?" It literally looked like he was going to explode into a wolf at any second.

"Dude, I have no idea what you're talking about, and I want you to leave, you're scaring Louise." Paul growled, standing protectively in front of me.

Seth turned to me. "I can't believe he had the cheek to propose to you. After what he did." He spat the words, and I flinched at them.

"Paul what does he mean!?"

"I don't know sweetheart. I honestly don't, I-" Paul was cut off by Seth who interrupted angrily.

"Don't lie to her," He sneered, "she deserves better than that. She deserves better than you."

"Maybe if I knew what I was supposedly lying about I could stop." Paul's eyes were vicious, full of hatred and confusion.

"Don't act all innocent. You cheated on her! At least have the decency to admit it."

My whole life crumbled in front of me. Paul's face changed from angry to hurt. I felt all of the blood drain out of my face.

I felt sick. Very sick.

"P-Paul? Paul you, lied to me?" I didn't intend it to be a question but my voice was so weak that I no longer had full control of it.

"No! No Louise of course I didn't! I would never hurt you like that. I love you, more than anyone in the world could love anything else. I love you. Please, believe me. Don't deny me a lifetime loving you. Please." His eyes were wide, and . . . . Honest? Could I believe him?

I wanted to. Badly. I wanted everything to go back 15 minutes, when we had been watching the scary movie, and he'd held me lovingly.

A thought hit me, and it made my head swirl with fear. Everything in the last few months made sense, but not in a good way. Could this be true?

"You proposed to me. . .because I was pregnant! That's it. You don't love me do you? You felt guilty, You don't love me!" I tried to turn and run to the bedroom, seeing through hazy, tear filled eyes, but a strong hand grabbed my wrist, spinning me into Paul's arms. I struggled to get free, but he held me tightly.

"Oh course not. Of course I love you. Louise. Your the best thing in my life. You're my very first thought in the morning, and my last at nightfall. Don't listen to him. Louise. . ." his voice was pleading.

My bottom lip trembled uncontrollably ass warm liquid spattered down my face. I buried my head deep into his chest and cried loudly, as he stroked my hair.

He must love me, I though. Why else would he take care of me the way he did.

I too, suddenly felt very angry. How dare Seth come here and try to get between us – lying about Paul to me. It was evil. I was about to scream at him, when Paul beat me there.

"Seth, I don't know what the hell I've done to deserve this, but leave Louise out of it. Don't hurt her too. Can we go outside and discuss this, whatever this is, 'coz to be honest I have no idea what's going on. There's been some mistake. I wouldn't dare touch Iona, you know that. Who told you this anyway?" Paul had calmed down considerably. Typical, just when I wanted to rip Seth's head off, Paul becomes the peace maker.

"Stop with the crap, Paul. I know you did it. Just admit it, and we can take it outside and I'll give you what you deserve." Seth's voice was harsh and unmerciful. I whimpered at his words and Paul pulled me closer. "Or do I need to hurt Louise to get through to you?"

"You won't touch a single hair on Louise's head."

Three things happened within a matter of seconds.

First, Seth stepped towards us threateningly, proving that he probably would touch the hair on my head, and possibly more.

Second, Paul swirled me around so I was almost two metres away from them, now standing at the top of the stairs instead of outside the bathroom door.

And third, Paul and Seth lunged at each other, spiralling around the landing, fists flailing.

Bella's POV:

After travelling through the forests behind the Cullen house, we headed South East, through the Olympic National Park, and kept going East, bypassing Seattle and other large cities, keeping to

forests and deserted areas only. And always out of sunlight of course, just in case.

After only travelling for a few hours, we had left the state of Washington and into Montana. Every so often, Demetri would stop us, and he would check that we were going in the right direction.

It took us around five more hours to get into North Dakota, following the border into western Ontario.

After we had crossed the border into Ontario, Alice froze still.

"Stop!" Her call made us all turn around, running back to face her.

"Alice, what is it, what do you see?" I grabbed her hand, shaking her back into the present moment.

"We're close. Edward will be able to hear our thoughts in a few minutes. That means Heather will be able to use her power on her too. You need to put up your shield Bella." I did as I was told, my body tingling at the fact that we were almost close enough for Edward to hear us. That meant we were only a few miles away.

I turned to Demetri. "Which direction?" He inhaled, and closed his eyes. Seconds later, his eyes flashed open again.

"This way." He pointed, and we all followed hurriedly.

We reached a place called Rainy Lake – which was quite fitting considering it was coming on heavy hail stones at the time – and we followed the edge of the water until again, we stopped, but this time it was Demetri who halted us.

"Is your shield up, Bella?" I nodded my head, and Demetri nodded back. "We're here."

Louise's POV:

It was hard to tell who was doing the most damage, and I felt a pang of fear for Paul. Seth was muscular, and I'm sure he could look after himself if push came to shove, which evidently, it had.

As quickly as the fight had started, it stopped, and Paul and Seth stood inches apart, breathing heavily. I sighed with relief as I saw that Paul wasn't hurt.

"Leave. Now." Paul seethed at Seth. "And don't you ever threaten Louise like that again. Ever."

"It's not like you care about her. You know what you did. I couldn't hurt her that much. Not even if I tried. Your a pathetic excuse for a-" Seth's speech was broken as Paul landed a fist in his jaw, making an awful cracking sound

And that's when it happened.

Seth slipped on the slippery wooden flooring as he stumbled towards me, making him fall.

Backwards.

Into me.

I lost my balance, just like that.

I was pushed with the force of a werewolf down fourteen stairs landing with an almighty thud in the downstairs porch.

And everything went black.

Okay, I was going to leave it here, yeno, mad Cliffhanger, but you guys rock, so here's a wee bit extra ;)

Paul's POV:

"It's not like you care about her. You know what you did. I couldn't hurt her that much. Not even if I tried. Your a pathetic excuse for a-"

I didn't think, I just raised my fist, landing a blow on Seth's jaw, and to my delight a crunch echoed the room.

What I didn't expect, was for him to fall backwards to the staircase, where my beautiful fiancé stood.

What happened next was as scary as it was heartbreaking.

Louise was pushed down by Seth's weigh, hurling her down the staircase at an alarming speed. Her scream filled the room and ripped through my heart.

She landed with another horrendous thump and everything went silent.

It took me all of two seconds to fly down the stairs to her side. Seth was all but forgotten as I knelt next to my wife-to-be, trying to get a response.

To my utter horror, she didn't respond. And she wasn't breathing.

"Come on baby. Come on! You need to be okay." I whisked out my cell phone and dialled the three digit number and in a daze, asked for an ambulance, giving them the address.

When I looked up, Seth was sitting at the top of the stairs, his eyes wide in shock.

"You better pray to God that she's okay." I growled, not even able to look him in the eye.

Well, there you go. Wow, this chapter was long!! I'm shocked at myself. And by the way, I was actually sad enough to spend my time on Google Maps making sure that the bit about finding Edward was geographically correct! Yes, I'm sad, but if I hadn't, some stupid flamer out there would have complained that Montana wasn't north of Forks or whatever, so I did.

Okay, it's beddy time for dinosaurs in Scotland, so night night, and enjoy. . .
