Beneath the Moonlight
Chapter 1

Trees blurred by, a green smudge on either side of Edward’s vision, with the occasional glimpse of the fading sun. It would be nightfall soon, and Bella would be worried if he did not return dillegently to her room to wait on her. Ah, Bella. The love of his eternal life. The one person in the world that seemed to make even his dead heart beat again. He wasn’t too sure what was different tonight, but he almost didn’t want to return to that room she inhabited. It was almost like he wanted to just keep running in the vast woods that surrounded the little town of Forks. Maybe it was just the thrill of darting so quickly about, sometimes it did go to one’s head.
Edward slowed to a light job, an old familiar house now coming into view. The light was on upstairs. He’d hear it tonight for not being there as soon as she walked up those stairs. It was alright though, she never stayed angry at him long. Not even when he broke off their engagement a few months prior.
“What do you mean? What’s wrong with getting married now? I agreed to your silly conditions!”
Bella screamed at him, tears running down her face at the prospect of not getting to spend the rest of eternity with him.
“I just thought that maybe we should wait a little longer. Bella, my love, you haven’t experienced life yet and I just can’t bring myself to take that away from you, no matter how much you want it. I just won’t do it. So, because I’m not bringing up my end, you don’t have to marry me so soon.”
She threw the engagement ring back at him, not particularly caring that it would do little damage to his porcelain skin. He caught it in any case, a hurt look in his topaz eyes.
“Please try to understand, please. I only want what is best for you. For your soul. For my soul.”
“Oh give it up Edward. Just, go! I can’t see you right now!”
And he had left. But in he came back to a more mellow Bella who had seemed to warm up to the idea of not having to marry off so soon.
Suddenly he came to a hard stop. Something in the air didn’t smell right. Actually, to be more precise something didn’t smell in the air at all. Her scent, it was gone. Looking up, he verified. Yes, the bedroom light was on. Was she not there? No..it was almost as if her scent had gone completely cold. Feeling up to the challenge of dealing with Charlie, he knocked on the door only to be met with a very angry red face.
“Where the hell is she?! You know don’t you! WHERE IS SHE?!”
Stepping back, Edward blinked a few times to gather his thoughts. Or more so, to gather Charlie’s thoughts as well. A flash of a bedroom door ajar, a note, an empty closet. She was gone. Edward dashed up the stairs, paying no attention to the fact that he had just basically exposed his super sonic speed to a human, an angry human at that. Her scent was there, but faint. She hadn’t been here in hours.
Charlie barreled up the stairs, apparently having not noticed the amazing show of speed. He crashed into Edward’s unmoving frame in the doorway.
“Don’t lie to me, or act surprised. Where is Bella, Edward? I want to know right now.”
“Honestly, I have no idea. I expected her to be here as well. Wherever she took off to, she failed to inform me.” The older man grumbled underneath his breath, going back downstairs to get on the phone. Edward stared at the empty room again, his brain still very far from comprehending just what he was looking at. Finally, without another glance back, he opened the window and jumped out.
***************
Leah and Paul, pull up the left flank. Embry and Quil, pull up the right. And Seth, quit scratching.
Four wolves converged on one large shabby russet colored wolf, who was glaring at a pumpkin covered younger wolf. Shifting back, the now four people began to laugh at the little wolf who was trying to hide the fact that he had in fact miscalculated jumping from rock to tree to rock and landed on a pumpkin. The larger of the six wolves now stood in the clearing, pulling back on a pair of shorts, long black hair cascading all around his shoulders.
“Well Jake, I think that’s enough training for today, don’t you think?” Leah twisted a thread of her own hair around her fingers.
“Yeah, I suppose, thanks to pumpkin boy here.” Jacob chuckled.
“Go ahead and laugh it up, at least I didn’t spend almost a thousand dollars on sneakers alone this month.” Seth grumbled as he picked seeds out of his hair and off his body. Quil and Embry joined the laughter, noting the fact that Jacob was indeed not wearing shoes.
Night had fallen completely on the woods of La Push, when Jacob gestured for the other’s to head home, beginning to do so himself. Billy wouldn’t be too worried, knowing that the pack had to keep it’s skills sharp, now with the absence of Sam. Sam had chosen to stop shifting and join his now wife in growing old together. They were expecting their first child at the end of the year.
Jacob lifted his face to the wind, letting it blow his onyx tresses all about him. It was then he realized the air didn’t feel right. Nothing too big, just an uneasy feeling about the environment around him. Then it hit him like a ton of bricks. Vampire. Close.
What does that leech want now? And he’s in our territory, this had better be real damn important.
He had only moments before that white blur stopped directly in front of him. Those amber eyes where blazing with anger..and pain? What was wrong now?
“What do you want bloodsucker? You know you’re not supposed to be here.”
“Is Bella with you?”
Jacob blinked for what seemed like an eternity.
“Is she here? Why the hell would she be here without me or you knowing? Wait, what the hell is this about? Where is she?!”
Edward simply growled and turned, darting back into the forest. Jacob was hot on his tail, dodging in and out of the trees as fast as Edward could. Soon, they had reached another clearing where Jacob was able to gain the lead and turn to stop the vampire dead in his tracks. He grabbed his wrist, jerking him back with all the strength he could muster, growling darkly under his breath.
“Where. Is. Bella.” Each word was forced through clenched teeth, his hand wrapped around that thin wrist, crushing it as hard as he could.
“Let go you mongrel. I have to go find her! This is none of your damn business if you don’t know where she is!” With that, he jerked his arm away, glaring at the wolf that looked ready to kill him. Jacob’s expression changed for a second, recognizing the look in the other boy’s eyes as a look he had worn for many months since Bella had turned him down. What was going on?
“What happened to her? Tell me damnit! I care about her just as much as you do leech!” The anger was back in his voice. Edward merely turned around and took off towards Forks. Jacob could only stand there bewildered, torn between following him or just going back to get the pack.
***********************
Rain was beginning to fall on the sleepy Washington town as that silver Volvo darted aimlessly darted through it darkened streets. Lightning flashed overhead, illuminating certain street corners, thunder rumbling in the distance. It was almost as if at any moment she would walk underneath a street light, drenched, but there..alive. He was simply lost now, not even with the simplest idea of where she could have gone. At that moment, his phone rang, jerking him out of his thoughts.
“Hello? Alice? Do you have anything?”
The voice on the other end sounded defeated as she sighed. “No, I don’t Edward. Her future as disappeared from my life of vision. Almost as if she is purposely keeping me out. I don’t think she knows how to do that, but someone else might.”
“Do you think it was really a fake runaway situation, and she might be hurt?” He sounded hopeful. Ah, if it were only that simple every time.
“No hun, I don’t. Not really. Don’t give up though Edward. I won’t. I’ll call you if I see anything.”
“Thank you, Alice. Tell Carlisle I might not be home tonight.” He sighed, one that almost completely mirrored his sister’s.
“I will, I love you Edward. Be safe.” With that, the line clicked. He sighed yet again. What was there to do now? Where could he even begin to look? She might not have left the United States, let alone left Washington. But with Bella, everything was a possibility these days. Edward parked the car, unaware of where he really was. More thunder echoed in the distance, lightning illuminating the trees around the car. A pair of eyes reflected in the darkness for a brief second, though went unnoticed by the vampire. Suddenly the passenger door opening, a large wet form getting in. The smell hit him smack in the face, causing him to jump slightly.
“What the hell do you think you’re doing mutt? Get the hell out of my car.”
“No, not until you tell me what you know about Bella disappearing. I just went to Charlie’s house. He’s like a zombie, just keeps saying she’s out for a bit and should be back. It’s disturbing.” Jacob huffed out the last bit in impatience with the old man.
“Why would she leave all of a sudden? Did you say something to her?”
Edward snorted at the question. “Don’t you dare try to blame me for this you dog. I did nothing to hurt her, ever. I just wanted her to be happy, not want for anything, to not throw her damn life away!”
The outburst mildly shocked Jacob. He had never seen any of the Cullens so emotional. He must really be torn up inside over this. I wish I could…I don’t know, comfort him or something? Wait..wait. Eww. Comfort a bloodsucker like him? Geez, I’m losing my damn mind.
Eyebrows raised up for a moment at the erratic thoughts of the teen in the passenger seat. Did that dog really forget that he couldn’t hear his thoughts? Really though, he even shared a mind link with his pack. Edward didn’t know whether to laugh or smack himself in the forehead. Sometimes Jacob’s stupidity astounded even him.
“What the hell are you staring at leech?” The large native growled out, giving him an angry quizzing look.
Edward opted for laughing lightly. “ Nothing, nothing at all. It’s just your thoughts are much too loud for my liking. “
Jake blinked again. Loud? Did I say what I was thinking out loud again? I need to stop that. He stopped thinking long enough to realize the other boy had laughed at him. I’ll teach him to laugh at me! Even if it was a nice laugh. Kind of like a piano or something..musical. I wish he’d laughed more often before.
Edward coughed lightly, trying to stop hearing the wolf’s mental words. They were hard to deal with, let alone the fact that a few images flashed by that he did NOT like the look of.
“If you’re done mooning over my voice, can we get back to the fact that Bella is indeed missing and more than likely of her own will?”
He blushed brightly, every ounce of blood he had in his body gathering in his face. “Shit, right. Sorry. It’s hard to keep my head straight sometimes, since I have no privacy most of the time. So when I’m not in my other form I tend to forget they’re still people out there that can read my thoughts.”
Another chuckle. “Enough goofing off. We have to find her. I have my sister trying to read her future, but she’s getting absolutely nothing. So either Bella is blocking her somehow, or she’s somehow entwined with one of your kind. What do you think?”
“None of the other pack members have even mentioned her in the last week or so. And we share thoughts so I know none of them have been thinking of her, let alone with her. It’s gotta be the first option.”
The vampire lounged slightly in the driver seat, stretching out to think more clearly about the first option. Why would she block Alice? And what was with that weird note?
Dear Edward, and Charlie,
I can’t take this small town. I can’t take this small life. Nothing I want is happening for me, so I’m leaving. Please don’t worry, but try your best to forget about me. It’s no hard feelings on either of you, but I need to make my own way in this world, since this is the only lifetime I have to do it all in. Don’t look for me, don’t think about me, and above all else, pretend Isabella Swan never existed in the town of Forks.
I love you both, so much.
Good bye, Bella.
He just couldn’t shake the feeling that the note was really what she wanted. But why? Why now all of a sudden when things were going so perfectly? All because he wouldn’t speed up killing her?
By now his silence had sparked a bit of annoyance with the guest in his car, frustration building at being left out of some sort of loop.
“What the hell is it? You just stopped moving all of a sudden. Is she nearby?” Jacob demanded.
“I thought I told you, She is immune to my abilities. I couldn’t find her even if I tried. No, we’re gonna have to find her the old fashion way.” If even that at all. Edward sighed for what seemed like the hundredth time today, starting the engine in the car. “So I guess you’re joining me in the search?”
“Damn straight I am. I want to find Bella!”
So like a loyal do to get so worked up at the thought of finding its owner. It was a funny thought, seeing Jacob on a leash, maybe even a kinky thought. Edward shook his head, trying to dismiss thoughts like that. You’re just trying to settle on second best. You love Bella damnit! Stick with a gender for once.
Wow, he hadn’t thought like that in a long time. Well, it had been a long time since he had decided he wasn’t gay, just a bit weird. Yeah, guys were attractive, but he knew deep in his heart he loved Bella.
So, if that was the case, why didn’t this hurt like it did earlier? Why wasn’t he tearing apart this town trying to find any trail her scent?
Maybe because you realize this is something she wanted, and deep down, probably something you wanted. Don’t lie to yourself anymore, you knew your love for her was dwindling.
True, but it didn’t mean he had to listen. All that mattered now was just finding her and making sure that the note wasn’t a lie and she really did want to be left alone. He was broken out of his thinking trance to a growl beside him.
Jacob was grimacing at a large hole in his shorts, mumbling something about third pair this week.
“Do you want to go back to your house and get you some clothes? You probably can just stay there, since we may not even be able to move until we have an idea of her location.”
Jacob sighed. “You’re probably right. But I can’t go back home. Dad will KNOW something is wrong and eventually pry it out of me. Just drive me by so I can pick up some shorts and we’ll decide from there.”
Edward pulled the car back onto the road, heading towards La Push. Forbidden territory, with a unlikely ally sitting beside him. Together, they’d figure this out. Or kill each other trying. Either way, it was expected to be a lot of fun.
