Lilliana Swan (Unedited)

Chapter 7

"No...we can't. When will you get here?" Bella asked

"In a couple hours. Then you and I will go somewhere. Together. The others will keep hunting. Bella, I swear to you, I'll do whatever it takes to make you safe again." Edward said

"I know." Bella said

"Jasper wants to talk to Ana. Can your put her on." Edward said

"Jasper." I said

"Hey, I'm on my way with Edward. Please don't do anything stupid." Jasper said

"Really that's what you are going to tell me. Let's get something straight if it come down to Bella or me. I would gladly die in her place. I will do everything in my power to keep her safe. I love you Jasper." I said

I hung up the phone and gave it back to Bella. I was pissed I could see the storm clouds forming in the air I could feel the thunder and the lighting. If James even lays a hand on Bella he will die a very painful death. Bella had walked back into the room with the beds and gathered her things. Her phone rings again. I listen in again.

"Mom, I'm so glad you got my --" Bella was cut off

"Bella? Ana? Where are you?" Rene said panicked

"Calm down, Mom. Everything is fine, okay? I'll explain every--" Bella was once again cut off

"...Mom? Are you there?" Bella asked

Bella is beyond panicked. The next thing I hear sends me over the edge.

"Nice house you have here. Not the best on the block, but comfortable. I was prepared to wait for you and your sister. But then Mom came home after she received a very worried call from your Dad. It all worked out quite well. I must say, Forks High School doesn't protect its students privacy very well. It was just too easy for Victoria to find your previous address" James said

"Bella? Ana?" Rene said

Bella couldn't say anything I don't think she could have moved once everything sit in. So I ran over and took the phone from her hands.

"Leave our mother out of this." I said

"You're protective of her. That's nice. You can sill save her. But you'll need to get away from your friends. Can you do that?" James asked

"I...don't think so." Bella said

"If you mother's life depends on it?" James asked

"Don't you dare touch her." I said

"Where should we meet you?" Bella asked

"The old ballet studio around the corner. And I'll know if you bring anyone other than your sister. Poor mommy would pay the price for that mistake. She smells like you." James said

Bella starts looking for something. She finds what she was looking for and we head out of the room. We see Alice and Mason loading up the Mercedes. We head out the other door and into a taxi. Bella tells the driver where to go.

"8th and Palo Verde, please." Bella said

The taxi pulls out of the hotel parking lot and on to the road. I go into Bella's mind to see what she is thinking. What I hear makes me proud and sad. I've never given much thought to how I would die...but dying in the place of someone I love seems like a good way to go... The taxi pulls up the studio we get out I pay the man and he drives away leaving Bella and I on the curb. I can't bring myself to regret the decisions that brought me or my sister face to face with death...they also brought me to Edward and her to Jasper. She grabs my hand and we walk inside and we can hear a faint voice of someone saying Bella and Ana. As we walk farther inside we hear Rene.
