 I stood there frozen for a minute until I heard a baby crying. I ran over to where the baby was crying and there was Bella laying on the ground holding the baby to her chest. I let out a breath of relief. I kneeled down beside Bella cupping her cheek gently. She open her eyes and looked up at me and smiled.

 "Don't you ever do that to me again Swan!" Even though I had tears running down my face I chuckled. "You scared me to death." Bella lifted her hand and cupped my cheek. I leaned into her touch and took her hand into mine. I kissed her hand. She pulled her hand from mine and lifted the baby and looked to me. "Yeah I can take her a minute." I gently took the baby into my good arm and Bella slowly got up.

 When she went to put weight on her leg she screamed out in pain and she fell back to the ground. "Don't move Bella. I'm going to check the kids. I will be right back." She just nodded. Once I got the older girl to take the baby. I went back to Bella.

 I kneeled down beside her leg and looked. I noticed there was blood in protective pants. Alot!. I took my good hand and noticed a hole. When I felt there was something hard beneath the hole in the pant leg. "Need some help?" I turn to look to see the teen girl standing there.

 "Yeah, thanks! Ok Bella we need that knife I gave you." Bella reaches in her pocket and pulls out my pocket knife. I grab it. "I need you take this and very carefully cut up Bella's pant leg. At least to the hole. I do it but my wrist is broken. By the way my name is Edward and that's Bella what's yours?"

  

  "Angel." She very shaky took my knife. "Nice to meet you Angel." Bella tugged on my jacket. I turned and looked down at her and she signed to me. She has a beautiful name. "What she say?" Angel asked me. "That you have a beautiful name. Hopefully your brothers and sister are ok."

 "Oh, there my cousins. But that's my baby sister Julie. We were on our way to take our cousins home when a tree hit our car and we roll down the mountain. They live with my grandma. They lost their parents last year."

 I felt awful for this family. Now her and her sister lost their parents.
Bella tugged on my sleeve again. I looked down at her. She looked right into my soul.

"Will see." Bella just nodded. I knew that if it came down to it Bella would take the girls. But I didn't know with everything going on. "Okay, it's cut." Angel told me. I slowly open up the pant material. I let out a gasp and so did Angel. Bella had a piece car fragment in her leg. "Baby whatever you do don't move."

 "DAMN IT!" Bella grabbed my arm and squeezed it. I looked down at her. She started to sign. Brace my leg. Tie off the artery. Then help me up. "Are you sure? You shouldn't be on it." She signed again.
We can't stay here Edward. And you can't carry me. You call me stubborn. "Alright, Alright. Angel I need you to find me 2 long strong sticks please." I slowly took off my jacket so I could get off my t-shirt. I was going to have it cut up and use it to tie the sticks around Bella's leg.

 I gritted my teeth because I knew it was going to hurt my ribs and my wrist like hell. Once I got it off I felt Bella hand on my arm. I turned and looked at her. She was looking at the bruise on my chest where my ribs where. "Bella it will be okay." She looked up at me and nodded.

"Will these work? Whow, that's a really bad bruise. Are you alright?" Angel asked me. "I'll be fine. Those will work. Help me get my jacket back on please." Once I got my jacket on I had Angel cut up my t-shirt then show her where to tie off Bella leg.

Then she put the sticks on both sides of Bella's leg and tied it on.
She helped Bella up. I made Bella lean on my good side. She glared at me at first. "Would you just stop being so damn stubborn for once in your life please. I can handle a little pain." She finally nodded.
Angel went back and got her cousin's and baby sister. We headed out.

  We made it a ways and I noticed the boys we're starting to get tired. I tapped on Edward arm and pointed to the boys. "You're right, we all can use a break." Edward said. Edward told them to stop and he gently set me down. I got his attention and signed to him. Edward do you feel that. You could feel the electricity in the air again and there was coolness in the air.

  "Yeah I feel it. The wind even shifted to." We were taken out of our discussion when the older boy tugged on Edward jacket. "Why can't she talk?" I looked up at Edward because I didn't know how he would answer it. "Something bad happened to her along time ago. But in a way she does talk. She signs to me and sometimes I know what she trying to tell me just by looking in her eyes."

 I smiled at what he said. "So she talks to you with her hands?" The little boy asked and turned and looked at me. I nodded to him. "Cool." was all he said. "Justin come leave them be." We heard Angel call out.
Just then we heard thunder. My eyes widen. I looked up at Edward.
"I know we need to go now. Angel come help me get Bella up quick."

 Angel ran over and helped me up and Edward wrapped his arm around my waist. As we were going along the lightning started again hitting the tops of the trees. The boys were screaming. "Just keep going kids come you guys can do it." Edward yelled out.

  I noticed Edward picked up the pace. "OUUUCCCHH!" We froze in our tracks and looked back. There was Justin on the ground. "Angel come help Bella please!" Angel put the baby in one arm and she wrapped an arm around me. "Go I got him." I started to shake my head no. Edward kissed my forward. "Go!"

 We started going up the hill. "THHHUUMMPP!" Angel and I stopped. I started to shake my head. Please, please, please tell me it ain't so. Then I heard Angel gasp. All I could hear is crying. I turned around and there was a large tree down.

 No,no,no. I let go of Angel and started limping over to where the tree was. "Bella stop!" I heard Angel yell but I couldn't stop. "ISABELLA MARIE SWAN YOU STOP NOW!" That's when I froze when I heard his voice. I looked and he was getting up on the other side of the tree and that's when I noticed it was burning.

  Tears we're falling down my face. "Listen to me take the kids up the hill. I will take Justin and find a different way. Here take your walkie."
He threw me my walkie. I caught it and set it down and started to sign.
I am not going without you.

 "Yes you are Bella." I signed to him. I'm not going to lose you. You're all I have Edward. You the only one that ever understood. He just stood there shock. I signed again. You are the only reason I am alive. Without you I am nothing. Please! I love you so much.

 "Baby I love you more than you'll ever know. Meet me on top of the hill I got something I want to ask you face to face. I promise I will meet you there." He told me. I finally nodded and signed. You better be there or I am going to find a way to kick your ass.

"I believe you would. Now go." I bent down and grabbed the walkie and took one last look at Edward and turned and walked away. I felt my heart break as I limped away and left him there. "You really love him don't you?" Angel asked me. I nodded. "He really loves you to I can see it." I tried to smile but I couldn't.
