Lost
EPOV
I felt Jasper trying to calm me down as we ran but I couldn't be calmed.
Bella Bella Bella
It's all my head could think of. I knew I would be sorry for shouting at Carlisle later but right now nothing else mattered but getting closer to my girl. The forest was flying past me it felt like a life time ago since this evening when I was out hunting with Jasper and Emmet (doing there heads in constantly texting Bella) They're good guys all my family are I could talk to them about anything, ask for advise, like this evening, and like now they would stand behind me willing to defend my Bella.
As I remembered the evening a thought came to me, I skidded to a halt.
"What the hell!" Jasper said doubling back to stare at my frozen body.
"Edward what is it?" Rose asked. Carlisle put a hand on my shoulder "Son?" he inquired.
"The wolves what if they… they've realised what my plan is?"
"They could ruin everything!" Rosalie cried
"STUPIED MUTTS WHAT IS IT TO THEM?" Jasper yelled
"Hush Jasper maybe the wolves did work it out quicker than Bella that doesn't mean we should give up now." Carlisle spoke softly. "Let's keep going"
"Errrm actually we can't Carlisle…"
I didn't wait for Rose to finish I had all ready read in her mind that the trail ends a few more metres along. A false trail very clever but not clever enough I turned along the next trail smelling Esme, Alice, and Emmet mixed in with werewolf. If only the trail wasn't so strong I know I would have been able to pick out Bella's scent. My mobile started ringing I stumbled to a stop pulling it out… was it Bella? Had she escaped? Where they letting her call me? My mind was spinning wildly, Rosalie Jasper and Carlisle stood round me thinking the same. I didn't check the caller ID.
"Hello?" I whispered
"Edward it's only me." Esme's voice spoke from the device. I could have crushed it in my hand.
"We need you to come. We've found something…"
I had already snapped the phone shut running down the path. Was it Bella? Why did Esme sound worried? Where was she? Questions spinning round my head it started hurting, if I had been human I would have a fever from all the worry.
I saw a small run down shack up ahead; I burst through the door smelling Bella's scent instantly. I looked round for her with false hope. Alice was kneeling on the ground, whilst the rest were stood round her downcast. I ignored them and bent to Alice. She was clutching Bella's beautiful dress. That was were the scent was coming from. I took it from Alice trying to block out my families thoughts, my own imagination was bad with out having there's added to it.
Emmet do you think Jacob… you know… raped her?
Alice I can't see why she took the dress of… but maybe she wasn't the one to take it off.
Rose What if … she was… like I…
Esme My poor child her innocence taken from her by wolves…
Carlisle was the first to break the silence. "There's no blood Edward she's not hurt."
Well not physically at lest. He added.
I barely heard him. I sat there holding the fabric to my skin letting her scent play with my mind pretending it was her I held in my arms. This could not fill my mind though. I imagined Jacob pulling this from my girl's body, letting his black eyes roam other her naked body of parts even I had not seen. Then pinning her up against the wall and taking her against her will. Him infecting her sweet body, taking her precious flower that ought to be mine! Her brown eyes filled with tears in my mind as he forced her to take him. His gloating face as he held my love in his arms rubbing his disgusting body up against her.
My hands were shaking as I lived though the nightmare. Suddenly I was on my feet staring at Carlisle.
"What now?" I said my voice trembling at the thoughts still running though my head.
"The pack has been clever Edward there is a total of 13 different trails leading away from this shack, all heading in different directions. With no idea who has Bella all we have two choices, we can split up and follow each trail separately thus finding out quicker where they lead, but risking coming across ambushes alone. The second option we can continue in small groups checking each path it will be safer for us, but will take longer to find the one to Bella. Without Alice's visions to guide us I don't like the idea of splitting up and risking losing one of our family but Bella is also our family and I don't like the idea of her being alone for any more time than is necessary."
"WELL HURRY AND MAKE UP YOUR MIND WHO KNOWS WHAT THERE DOING TO HER." My voice broke at the end showing my family a small insight to the pain I was feeling.
"Jasper" Carlisle said turning to my brother "What do you suggest."
"I… I don't like putting this in to a military perspective when there is so much else to consider." Jasper mumbled "But the second idea seems better, the wolves will be expecting us to follow the paths by setting s many I think they want us to split up that way we would be easier to take down."
Jasper wouldn't meet my eyes but thought.
I can feel your pain to Edward but reducing our forces wouldn't help Bella.
"I'll take a path by myself" said Emmet from the corner even he couldn't find anything funny about the situation. "I can easily defend myself there's no point in putting me in a group."
Plans were quickly drawn up, I didn't like the fact we were going for the slow option but I could see the logic Esme wouldn't stand a chance by herself and Alice was useless with out her vision, I didn't bother to say much as Jasper and Carlisle planned out the mission. I couldn't get Jacob out of my head his grinning face and glinting eyes, how I longed to get my hands on him…
We were soon ready to leave again much to my happiness running would stop me brooding. We split in to three groups in the end. Me and Carlisle, Emmet and Rosalie, and Jasper, Alice and Esme. I could see in Carlisle's mind that he was with me to stop me from doing something I might regret. What like ripping a few wolves apart? The only thing I would regret from that would be not getting them all! Each group would follow a path when they came to a dead end they would come back and take another, that gave us four each with one left over.
I nodded once to Emmet and we rushed down the first trail, I gave a silent pray that this was the one Bella was down…
Oh dear dear dear poor Edward, but what about his 'plan'
Please review and tell me whose side your on I would love to know your thoughts and ideas.
