A month: Alternative ending
Chapter 8
Video: shot gun lesson
Bella stood in front of her father her back leaning against his as he straightened her aim and made sure she had the ear plugs in. he nodded slightly and Bella let the gun fire it hit the target in the head. She pulled back laughing rubbing her shoulder and whistling "nobody wins with a shotgun" she said rubbing her shoulder again as her friends chuckled.
"That was so cool!" exclaimed Mike coming over to inspect the target, it was dead centre.
"Now kids the lesson here is…" Charlie was cut off by the kids all making loud snoring noises and pretending to fall asleep.
"Fine get arrested for gun crime see if I care!" eh bit back chuckling with them.
Video: teaching Charlie to cook
"Right we are going to start on something simple, steak and salad." Said Bella pointing a spatula at Charlie. The camera was being propped in-between her friends.
"I want you to wash the lettuce first while I chop the tomatoes" she said he nodded and put the lettuce in his hands taking it over to the sink. "Dad!" exclaimed Bella "What you said to wash them?" he said,
"Yeah but not with soap! This is going to be a long day."
"Nothing new, except Bella attempting to teach Charlie how to cook. She looks bad Sam, she is way too thin and tired, and she could barely stand up for five minutes without breaking out in a sweat." I said to Sam who was crouched in wolf form sniffing at the ground.
We are close I can smell them and it is new, we better hurry we need to find them before Friday. What day is it today? He thought to me I checked my phone,
"It's midday Thursday, we have until tomorrow then I am giving up, I can't stay away while she slowly passes." I said, we had wasted a week since last seeing Bella I had gotten a text or two from her all the same, lying. Her last video post was from last Sunday and she has been quiet since then. She always said 'I am doing well, still getting Charlie to try cooking it's not working' or 'don't worry about me just focus on your work.' I have no idea what has been happening and I can't help but want to run as fast as I can till I reached her. My sister was not leaving without saying goodbye.
Sam's ears pricked up and I jumped on his back, it was a little humiliating having to ride like this but it was necessary for one of us to be in human form. He ran down a dirt track road which was wet and slick with mud. At the end of it was a house to grand to be a humans and reeked of bloodsuckers, we thundered faster down the track until we saw them filing out of the house one after the other looking surprised and shaken. We skidded in front of them churning up dirt. Sam hopped behind a tree to phase and change into clothes.
"What do you dogs want?" seethed a strawberry blonde that I didn't recognise. I ignored her, I looked for Edward and found him standing in the doorway, with a girl. A dark haired, sun kissed skin, blue eyed human. "Jake, Sam why are you here? Has something happened to Bella?" questioned the one I remembered as Esme. "She's ill but we can see you have already moved onto a new pet!" I spat as I looked at the girl who clung to Edward. "What does he mean Eddie?" squealed the girl. "I don't know Ellie, go wait inside" she turned to go in but I spoke before she could. "I mean his last human girlfriend, who he promised a whole different life too before dumping her in the forest. But guess what Eddie she is dying and it is all your fault and your family who abandoned her." I shouted as I started to shake. The girl, Ellie whimpered and started crying as all of the Cullens bar Edward stepped forward. "Jake we didn't abandon her, Edward said she broke up with her and asked us to leave town" said Rosalie confused. I could rip his head off but instead I settled for punching him in the face, he flew through the house breaking into the back wall.
All through my rage Sam had been explaining to the remaining Cullens. "Jake come on we are going back, hurry up!" the vamps had already started running while the human girl was crying and cooing over Edward as he lay down nursing his cracked cheek. I ran at their backs already planning on returning to tear him to pieces. We took the most direct route back to forks, as we had been trying to trap them it took longer to find them than just traveling to their home. It took all of two hours to reach Bella's house and when we did all we could smell was death with a wisp of a pulse, barely holding on.
