After the attack of Victoria, Edward took Bella back to the house to be protected by Jasper, Rosalie, and Emmet.

I paced back and forth across the room, my heart racing. "Why aren't they back yet?" My voice cracked as I looked around at the vampires that were protecting me.

"Bella, there is only so much calm I can give you. Now stop pacing." Jasper sighed, but never looked away from the window.

"I can't! They are all still out there! Why are they not back?" I continued to pace, and didn't care how much it bothered them. I was too worried to sit.

"Emmet." Rosalie was just as nervous as I was, but she was handling it much better.

Rolling his eyes, Emmet walked over towards me. In a swift movement, he picked me up and tossed me over his shoulder. "Will you stop now?" He chuckled softly, but it was clear that it was all a show. He just wanted to lighten the mood. The only reason he was as worried as Jasper and myself was simple, his mate was safely here. Although, he was still worried for the rest of his family.

"No, but put me down anyway." I knew that he could easily force me to sit, as well as anyone else, but I didn't care. I cared for everyone that was out there, and they all knew it, because they all did too.

Suddenly, everyone tensed, and Emmet lowered me to the floor, and then darted to stand in front of Rosalie. I tried to look around them, but I was unable to. Suddenly, they all relaxed.

"Carlisle and Esme." Rosalie let out a soft sigh and got out of her defensive crouch and stood up next to Emmet and leaned into his side.

"What about Edward? And Jacob? And Alice?" My fear was evident, and I pushed past Emmet so I was able to look towards the oncoming vampires. I could feel Jasper tense next to me.

Esme was the first of the two in the house, and she was followed closely by Carlisle. They both had heads down, and I lost my breath. "What happened?" I tried to swallow my fear and my tears, but I couldn't. Tears started to brim my eyes, and blur my vision.

"Bella, Jasper…We need to talk." Carlisle's voice was low and grave, and I couldn't catch my breath.

"Please…Don't say it…" Tears started to fall out of my eyes, and fall down my cheeks.

"Bella, I'm so sorry." Esme pulled me into a hug, and started to cry tearless sobs.

"No…" Jasper's voice showed as much pain as I felt, and Carlisle pulled him into a hug.

I fell to the floor and shook my head. "No… It can't be…Not all of them…No…" How could the three people that I cared for so much, other than my blood family, all die at once?

Emmet picked me up and gently carried me to the couch and put me down on it. I curled up in a ball and started to sob. I looked over towards Jasper, and I saw him pacing, and I even saw him punch a large whole in the wall, and then ran off into the woods.

Pulling my knees to my chest, I put my forehead to my knees, taking deep breaths.

I felt a cool hand on my back, moving up and down in a soothing motion. "Bella, do you want us to drive you home?" Rosalie was the one that was trying to sooth me. I realized that Carlisle was probably comforting Esme, and Emmet was probably trying to find Jasper to calm him down.

Sitting up, I took a few deep breaths and wiped away the tears that were left on my face. Taking one last deep breath, I put up my wall. My eyes were emotionless, and I kept a perfectly straight face. I couldn't show them how much I was pained. "I'm fine. I will have time to think if I drive."

Rosalie looked around, but by now the room was completely empty. I could hear the loud crying of Esme upstairs, and I closed my eyes. "Yes. There…there are too many memories here. I will loose it. I need to leave now, and you need to stay with your family." I stood up and pulled her into a hug. "Please."

Nodding, Rosalie pulled back. "Yeah, go. Just call me when you get home."

Putting on a fake smile, I nodded and walked out of the house and towards my truck. Pulling out my keys, I slid into the driver side. With trembling hands, I put the keys in the ignition and slowly pulled out of the long driveway.

As I started to drive, my mind started to go. All I could picture was Jacob, Edward, and Alice being ripped apart by the newborns. Tears started to blur my vision again and I sighed.

Then, my mind went to my final plan. Pressing my truck to its speed limit, I drove into La Push, and made up my mind. Taking a road that I had only traveled once, I kept my thoughts vacant. I knew that Alice was dead somewhere, but old habits die hard.

Finally, I put my car in park and looked around. Taking a deep breath, I put my car in drive and floored it. Closing my eyes, I waited for what I knew was coming.

Suddenly, the car lurched and started to fall at a forty-five degree angle. Holding my breath, I sent out a silent, happy prayer. Jacob, Edward, Alice. I'm coming.

Then my car hit water, and my head lurched forward, making contact with the steering wheel.

Water started to surround me, and I felt the jerk as the front of my truck hit the bottom of the ocean. My head rested on the wheel, but then I felt the searing pain. My head was throbbing, and I saw my red blood mix in with the salty water around me. Then pain filled my legs and I looked down.

The car had buckled with the contact of the ocean floor, and had crushed my legs. Even more red blood appeared from there.

Tilting my head back, I screamed out in pain. The last of my air supply bubbled away from my head, and outside of my truck from some unknown crack.

My lungs begged for air that I couldn't give them. Placing my head on the steering wheel, the world went black, and I waited for the bright lights of heaven.
