A/N: You guys were mostly mixed on whether Bella was right to do what she did. But, most people agreed that Edward was/is insanely over-protective ;)
Bella:
After the hour passes agonisingly slowly, I get more and more nervous. Edward is going to be so angry, but I had to do this for the Denali's.
Right now, the Denali's are thinking through their long lives, trying to find any reasons someone could want them dead or missing.
A knocking at the door makes me jump, so Kate tries to reassure me again. Soon, the living room is filled with the Cullen's. Edward looks so incredibly angry, Alice looks upset, and Carlisle looks confused.
"I believe you already know about the situation, Eleazar." Carlisle breaks the silence, which is almost as agonising as the hour wait.
"Yes, Bella filled us in." Eleazar replied calmly. It's beginning to annoy me that no one is acknowledging that I ran away from them. A small part of me is proud that I managed to outsmart seven vampires.
"Have you managed to think of any reason anyone would do this?" Carlisle asks. The only people talking are him and Eleazar. This situation is pretty awkward.
"No, not yet. Although, we have been on this earth for many years, so it could take my family and I quite a while." Eleazar says.
"Maybe it's not something you did. Maybe they're doing this to upset Bella." Jasper says. I want to hug Jasper for being someone else to speak.
"But why Bella?" Carlisle asks.
"I don't know. Bella, is there anyone in your human life that would want to hurt you?" Jasper asks, and I laugh a little hysterically. Ok, I'm going crazy with all this overly polite speaking.
"Someone who hated me when I was human… Well, I can only think of one person. But, he doesn't hate me now. Or does he? Because, if looks could kill, I'd be dead from that glare." I reply, being serious at first, but I couldn't resist. Everyone knows I'm talking about Edward without me having to say his name. His glare seems to intensify, but I just try and ignore him. And then I answer Jasper's question seriously. "I honestly can't, and I can't remember everything. But, if we call Angela and Ben, and Jacob too, maybe, they'll have better answers." Jasper nods, and he and Alice go off to call our werewolf friends.
"Thank you for all your help, everyone." Eleazar says. The rest of the Cullen's and the Denali's all sit down in the living room to think of more suggestions, and way to stop this happening. Apart from Edward. Who continues to glare at me.
"Bella and I are going off to talk." Edward announces to the room, before running off.
"Wow. He speaks." I mutter before following him. When I reach him, he's sat out in the forest surrounding the Denali's house. I slowly walk towards him, and don't stop 'til I'm standing right in front of him.
"You promised." Edward mutters, not even looking at me.
"You've said that." I mutter back. I look up at him, and see a smile pulling at the corners of his lips, but he still tries to look angry. "Look, I know you're angry, and I know I shouldn't have lied, but if I told you, everyone else would know. And you were the one who was most against it, anyway."
"Are you saying it's my fault you lied?" Edward askes, going back to being angry.
"No, I'm saying I wanted to protect my family!" I try to keep calm, but it's hard when Edward's over analysing everything I say.
"Your family. Look, if you want to re-join the Denali's, just tell me." Now Edward looks sad.
"Stop taking everything I say the wrong way!" I begin, shouting at him. This gets him to look at my face. "I love you, and I love the Cullen's, who are my family. The Denali's are also my family and, as much as I love them, you're stuck with me, alright?" Edward looks a little startled, before leaning down and kissing me. I kiss him back, but he breaks it off before we go any further.
"I love you too, so much my feisty little vampire. But, please promise me, and please mean it that you'll never scare me again. Just a little note, or a text, will be fine, just so I know you're safe." Edward says.
"This time I really promise you that, but you understand I had to protect them, right?" I tell Edward.
"Well, I understand now." He smirks. I roll my eyes at him.
"I think we should go back now." Edward pouts at this. "You're pouting too much recently."
"Can't we just make out for a couple more minutes?" Edward pleads, pout and everything. I sigh, but Edward kisses me.
After more than a few minutes, I have to forcefully drag Edward back to the Denali house. Once again, I return find everyone with sullen looks on their faces. If this happens again, I'll have to think of a different word than 'sullen' to describe their faces.
"What? What's happened now?" I ask quickly.
"We called Jacob, and there was no answer. Then, we called Angela and Ben, and they said they hadn't heard from Jacob in two days, as usually they'd text or call at least once a day." Alice replied.
"Couldn't he just be, um, busy?" I'm grasping at any hope here. He can't be gone. He can't be.
"It's too big of a coincidence. We told Angela and Ben to come straight to Alaska, you know, safety in numbers and everything. Let's hope no one else will go missing too."
A/N: What do you think of Jacob going missing? :O
Review please :)
