BETTER THAN I CAN EVER HOPE FOR IN MY ENTIRE LIFE Book Four

TAKING MATTERS INTO HER OWN HANDS TO FIND EDWARD

                              Bella pov

 It's been 5 days now and we had to call the family. The fire had gotten worse and I had enough. It was dark now and I gotten with Rich and the captain. This fire had to be contained and I knew how it had to be done. "Bella are you sure you want to jump though?" Rich asked me. I got on my walkie.

From Bella: Rich we need me up there with that crew if anything shifts in the weather or anything goes wrong then will know and we can get everyone out safely. Plus if we battle this in the middle where it's already been burnt we have a better chance of getting control of this. It's are only chance of getting control of this.

 "You're right, but I'm going with you, Edward would kill me if I let you go in there alone in there with just the jumpers." I nodded. "Where do you want us boss?" I turned around hearing Emmett voice. I got on my walkie and typed.

From Bella: You guys ain't fully trained yet.

 "Bella just tell us where we need to go and tell what to do, we're here to help. Besides what better way to learn right?" I looked at them and then nodded. I called over a team leader I knew that work with them.
Rich and I left for the airport and we were on the plane. The smokejumpers got me ready and then we were over our mark.

  I got to the door of the plane and turned around to Rich. "EDWARD WOULD BE PROUD OF YOU RIGHT NOW, I KNOW AM." Rich smiled and I couldn't help but smile back at him. I turned around and then stepped out of the plane. I couldn't help but believe I was finally doing this.

 It was so beautiful from up here. Something caught my eye. I remember what they told me to go a certain way. So I did what they told me. But I noticed I gained speed way too fast. More than I actually wanted. I knew I had to pull my rope soon. But I caught sight what I was looking at before. It look kinda of out of place for being on a mountain. I realize I had to pull my rope and when I did nothing happened.

  I kept pulling on it and still nothing. Shit, shit, shit. I had to pull the secondary cord and when I did it jerked me backwards. I finally landed on the ground. I got up and did a little happy dance. I just jumped out of a plane damn it, and I survived. "Bella, what the hell?" I heard Rich chuckle behind me. I started to blush. "Hey did you happen to see a structure or something out of place from up there?" I nodded.

 "Well I know I wasn't seeing things then. It was about 5 miles west of here. What do you say we started fighting the fire that way and make sure no one is stranded." I agreed. They made me in charge of this team. As we worked our way west we started to make headway with this fire.

 We finally stopped for the night. I sat there watching the night sky and how the fire lit up the sky. "Bella will find him don't you know that?" I turned and looked at Rich. I was starting to feel lost without Edward. He has done so much for me. I was starting to get scared that we would not find him alive. We had gotten back up after about 2  hours.

 It was 3 in the morning when we gotten to a trench. I looked at Rich confused. "There shouldn't be any fire fighters up this far." Rich said.
Then I stood there and thought of something Edward told me once if something ever happened to dig a trench in a circle, and if possible build a safe structure that planes or helicopters could see.

 I started running. I stopped when I came upon the structure. I started to hear voices. "We need to get him help."

"How the hell we suppose too that when the fire is all around us, huh! Tell me?" I walked to the doorway in confusion to what they are talking about. They turned and saw me. "How the hell you get here?" I signed.
We jumped out of plane. "Bella you what?" I gasped when I heard his voice. I walked slowly around the men and there was Edward laying there on the ground. I ran over to him.
