Chapter 38 – Chasing Shadows.

Edward's POV:

Why on earth was I running for? My thoughts were over taking my body controlling every move I took. Could it be her? No, No but then was there a possibility that she was alive?

My Dead cold heart thumped a beat; something out there was waiting for me.

I'd been running for a matter of hours now, I had come to a sign:

STRAIGHT AHEAD PORT ROYAL

LEFT SEATTLE

I looked from ahead to the left, now which path was I meant to take?

"Take left"

I spun in my heel to find Alice next to me; she smiled slightly then started heading left.

"Alice? Why did you follow me?"

She kept her thoughts trying to come up with an answer, and then a face flashed through her mind. Bella, my sweet Bella. All of a sudden my speed was now faster than ever nothing could stop me. A question was running throughout my head. Why was I running?

We weren't even running for five minutes before we came to a gate to Town, they were open welcoming anybody in. As we stepped foot inside it seemed a bit deserted but as we came to the town square I could hear people, screaming some were arguing and some were crying.

As we got closer a rather large crowd was gathered in front of a cottage, there stood a man he was being shouted at by the town folk.

"SHE'S GONE!"

"SAVE THE CHILDREN!"

"WHAT DID THIS?"

There were many cries and screams, as we became closer people started to turn, they all stared silently.

"You two."

The man who had been shouted at was now pointing towards me and Alice.

"I'm Mayor Phillip Dawyer; may I ask who you are? I've never seen you in town before."

He seemed to be arguing with himself over something, I couldn't make out what over.

"I'm Edward Cullen and this is my sister Alice Cullen"

He froze as soon as I said my last name, he then motioned us to go inside the cottage, and he followed shortly after, as soon as he shut the door he let out a heavy sigh.

As I looked around I noticed everything was destroyed, there was blood covering the walls what had caused this much of a mess? Phillip had disappeared into another room he reappeared moments later. I glanced over to Alice, she was concentrating her mind on something, and she was hiding something from me.

Her face was like she had seen a ghost. Phillip came towards us with papers within his hands.

"She would have wanted you to have this"

He placed the paper in my hands, I studied it closely, and everything was so precise it looked so life like. I was utterly amazed, the person looked like a sort of god, I looked again, and it was me.

"May I ask who 'she' is?"

He studied me for a moment.

"Isabella... I mean Bella Mason"

Mason? My own name, images now rushed through his mind, I sunk to the floor. No. Sobs filled my throat, it was true. Bella HAD been alive, while I was around mopping my sweet Bella was alive.

Alice fell to the floor to sobbing while trying to sooth me, Bella, Bella, and my sweet, sweet Bella.

"Are there any more?"

I managed to choke out; He just nodded and disappeared back into the room he came from earlier.

"I'm so, so, so, sorry Edward, I didn't think it could be her, I'm sorry"

She cried well sobbed even harder into my shoulder, Phillip came back in then placed them next to the sketch of me.

"I'll leave you two alone to grieve, you may take any of her belongings she would of wanted it"

I nodded and I heard the door quietly close, after a while I managed to look at where he had placed the rest of the papers, I scattered them so I could see them all. One was of Alice; I saw Alice touch it then sobs even harder if that was even possible. I continued to look; there was a perfect sketching of each member of my family. The family she would have been a part of, if I had just been quicker.

This was entirely my own fault. I Had Bella's blood on my hands. I had killed her.

Alice slowly got up and wondered off upstairs, searching for some of Bella's stuff. I continued to stare at the sketches, I found one of Alice and Jazz showing how much passion they yearned for each other within their eyes. There was one that was at the bottom of the scattered pile, my hand suddenly reached out to grab it.

As I did I was shocked, words could not describe the feelings that were rushing through my mind and body. The way she looked towards me, such passion and love, sobs overflowed me, how I missed her warm touch, the melting chocolate brown eyes, the gorgeous blush. Just everything truly about her was magnificent.

Alice came down with a bag.

"Edward, we should be going... "

I nodded softly, picking up the sketches placing them with my jacket. I raced upstairs quickly towards the bedroom, as I opened the door her florescence scent hit me. Everything was destroyed yet I could see everything perfectly.

"I've got everything you might want to look at them when we get home"

I nodded, the front door came too quickly, and I turned it open quickly. The large crowd was still gathered outside; Phillip gave us a slight nod, Alice gave me a slight smile, I knew how hard this was for me. I hated thinking how hard this was for her.

But All I knew was that I killed her, I killed Bella.

Bella's POV:

"Oh Bellsie I'm back"

I ran, my heart was racing so much quicker than usual. I was frightened to death, what did he want with me? He knew that I was never his yet he thought he owned me. Even though I was half vampire it was hard to see in the dark. It was better than when I was pure human but still.

As I ran through the trees, the voice, his voice became closer. I felt so venerable, the twigs broke beneath my feet. I was running for my life, I knew he'd be furious at me for the last time.

I couldn't run no more, I ran towards a tree, I hid behind it. Not even breathing, I kept as silent as I possibly could. There was nothing, silence rang throughout the forest had I lost him? I turned slowly trying to see if I had or not. As I did, I tried keeping my eyes on all areas around me.

"Miss me"

I screamed as he grabbed my neck. He was surely going to kill me right? At least I would be with Edward. My wonderful Edward, I felt that I had caused his death. If he wasn't worrying over me he wouldn't be dead.

I Killed Edward.

Tears were now filling my eyes, It was so hard to think of Edward without crying, he meant the world to me. He was my soul, without him I was lifeless, there was no meaning to life at all.

"Now , now my gorgeous Fiancée, everything will be back to normal before you know it"

He grabbed my wrist pulling me with him, I was doomed there was no way out. Why couldn't someone just kill me? At last then I would be at peace. Tears continued to flow, I knew they wouldn't stop, I'd cry every night for the rest of my life, the pain would get worse as every day passed, and it would never ever go away.

(OKAY SO CAN WE MAGICLY PRETEND THAT ITS NOW 2010? THANKS! SORRY FOR SUCH A LARGE GAP BUT YOU SHALL THANK ME SOON – hopefully)

Bella's POV Continued...

2010. Wow. I was Jacob's slave basically, I had to do everything he wanted me to do. Many times he had tried to touch me, but I haven't let him. No. I knew my body wouldn't last much longer... well the human side anyways. I haven't aged at all, frozen at 17.

Jacob was out 'fishing' as he called it, I called it killing innocent people. There was no need for it at all, I was lifeless, and no I was much worse than that. I was nothing. I was stuck in this small room, even though the house was huge itself I wanted no part of it. So here I am. Still grieving after all these years, I'd never stop. I had lost everything that night.

So much anger started instantly boiling up within me, I was furious. Not only at him but at myself. I've had all this power and I've done nothing, nothing at all. All of a sudden a bolt of energy that looked like a shield came off of me, I looked around I was floating, the walls that once contained me were crumbled into rubble beneath me.

Somehow I got back on the ground, I had destroyed the whole house, I had just done that? With that I ran, no stopping. No going back. A whole new start, wherever you are Edward I hope you're watching over me. I love You.
