Crescent moon

Chapter 13

Edward's p.o.v.

I rushed across the wide open sea, running on water, which was possible because of the speed. I was going to Italy to get Bella back. What Jacob said ran trough my mind, 'Didn't you know,  Bloodsucker? She's one of you now. Victoria Turned her.' No, I didn't know because I left her! She was still in danger and now she has had to go the Volturi, because I didn't  listen to her. I felt so guilty. It was my fault. Because of me, she had to associate herself with werewolves! Befriend them, even. I knew she wouldn't move on, not normally, and I heard what was running through the back of his head "I have never said this to you, but... Jake, I love you."

  In love with a vampire, and when he leaves, fall in love with a werewolf. But I also heard the undercurrents to that chain of thoughts. "She doesn't love me." He had been thinking, "she just thought she did. You don't get over the kind of love she had for Cullen that quickly. Well, others might, but I couldn't  tell, that she would never really be fine."

  What did I do to her? How wrecked did I leave her? I was just as bad, but that was my choice, I could have come back at any time. I could have stopped this from happening.  But, no, instead she was in Volterra, with the most dangerous vampires in the world.

  Suddenly, I caught sight of a small smudge against the horizon. It looked like a couple of figures running along the sea, the same way I was. The one in front had long, brown-red hair and the one behind had lon- was that Bella?
